Quote:The complication in the US, as I've pointed out before are the politically motivated "get tough on drugs" laws that are populist and used by politicians to dupe voters into thinking they're doing something in DC. The result is that after 20 years, we've dedicated 30-40% of our prison space for drug related crimes in extreme "mandatory minimum" sentences. Consequently, repeat drug offenders can do more time than rapists, murderers, or child molesters. That is one area of brokeness in our system that needs to be addressed.
Yeah... They keep the friggin pot smokers in the deepest darkest hole they can for as long as bloody possible but they let kiddie rapists back out ASAP. What the fiddly diddly sticks is up with that anyhow?
Damnit, where is Bill Hicks when we need him? Him and his squeegie your third eye sound effect. Pot is not a problem, not when you compare it to alcohol and tobacco related issues. Some drugs are a problem, but please, pot and mushrooms are not a friggin problem. Hell, I just had some caps just last, er, whoops, hey, are we allowed to talk about this on the Lounge? Cows are the worst sort of drug dealers you know. They leave little stashes of highly dangerous drugs everywhere in plain sight! The war on drugs should involve shooting all cows... They are the distributors of this good #$%&.
All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
