Fisheye view of KushCon2 Marijuana Industry Convention in Denver, Colorado, December 17-19, 2010

December 17 - 19, 2010, the Colorado Convention Center hosted the world's largest marijuana lifestyles convention TO-DATE - KushCon2 - offering those active in the legal global marijuana industries a place to meet, collaborate, learn and grow their new-economy enterprises, together. In one convention hall, in one weekend, mingled 10,000s of cannabis entrepreneurs and their stakeholders - nurturing $ billions in new GREEN, taxable economic opportunity for America - and their truly Green Revolution is just taking off.

Meet America's Greenest Revolutionaries ever... Mom and Pop Mainstreet, Small Town, Middle America!

I saw it all being set up...the mom getting her young child lined up for the high speed run down the icy slope.   I thought...wow...looks pretty dangerous to me.  

Off the kid went.

Hit about 55mph in the middle - backwards.

Pretty wild.

No helment.

Who had the death wish?

A government run amok has many people in this country worried about our future. Let me remind you that it's because "Of the People" that all is never lost in our country. The people, not the government, unite us as one. Even when it seems all is gloom, doom and despair, the people of this country will continue to light the fuse of freedom.  The American spirit, like the warrior on the battlefield, will always prevail.Our Founders believed that our rights were endowed by our Creator, not by the government.

Get ready for bad times and miracles. Isn’t it amazing how the two frequently go hand in hand.

Question of the day--how does ~$23,000+ from developers (see inset article) in 2008, go to $ -162.00, to $6,800--when all of this time Mr. Rokakis has not had to run for a political office???

Oh, and what happened to Tony Sinagra--political fundraiser for the Hellenic Society in NEO??

So what about something as easy and inexpensive as "hash browns"?  We call 'em Latkes this time of year. 

They are pretty tasty, pretty simple, and pretty healthy if you hold the egg to a minimum.

Norm, where do you upload your header images on REalneo?  They aren't in the header gallery.  Why not?  Tonight's image is spectacular. Moving traffic or moving vehicle with your camera?   How was it that the exhaust stacks were uplit?   What is it, and how was it taken?   Best, jeffb

I met Frank Moslovich at Cleveland City Hall.   Mr. Moslovich, I could tell from overhearing his conversation, was really fed up.  (I changed Frank’s name a bit for his privacy)
