Which is a shame because it started with such hope and promise and I think so many people were just electrified by it.
But the fact that it didn't seem to be for anything except "we hate capitalism" and "we love weed" which definitely resonates with a small number of politically impotent people, was the first clue that it wasn't going to be around for too long.
I actually think that with a different group spearheading the efforts, it could be a very promising social/political movement with some serious impact. But if the same group of people who seemed to bafflingly be much more concerned with legalizing weed than anything else decide to get involved, I hope that others will step forward to take the helms before they get a chance to.
