Can someone please explain SELinux to these folks?

The article and comments are just silly. I tried my best in there, but I'm not sure how clearly I was able to explain it.

Man Obeyed Mich. Laws, But Will Serve 10 [years] In Federal Prison For Family Pot Operation

http://detroit.cbslocal.com/2013/05/28/man-obeyed-mich-laws-but-will-serve-10-in-federal-prison-for-family-pot-operation/

DETROIT (WWJ) – Despite obeying state law, several Michigan marijuana patients are heading to prison because they violated federal marijuana laws.

...

“And in my case I’m a patient, I’m a one-hundred percent legal; the marijuana was registered to my son and my daughter and I get convicted for this,” he said.

...

Duval said that state officials had inspected his growing operation in Monroe County in June of 2011. “They found everything was in compliance with Michigan law. We didn’t do nothing wrong, the plant count was all there, the license was posted was in a locked secure facility,” he said.


Sentenced to 10 years. And people say the Obama administration hasn't persecuted patients...

I thought Meta threads were going to stay up?

I thought I read in one of your other responses here that the threads themselves were going to stay up even though the front page of the group wasn't. But I just tried to follow a link to a thread described as being from H&M there and got an error. Is it because it was H&M and not Meta? (I thought Meta was just renamed H&M and then Help was added as a new thing?) Or am I just misremembering and Meta threads are gone?
