But, there's too much money to be made by keeping the sheeple in fear of the boogeyman.

Most people don't want Freedom, they want Mommy.

Thanks, Rich

Laughter may indeed be the best medicine, but a good sneer now and then doesn't hurt. ;-)

So why don't these industrial barons want to expand their market to cover those people who don't get a buzz out of alcohol or nicotine, but do like cannabis, or opiates or cocaine? It's very odd.

Now there's a sourse to trust!

When I read Reader's Digest as a kid - in Tasmania your read anything that you could get your hands on - the CIA were planting anti-communist propaganda articles at the rate of about one in four. Who is subsidising Reader's digest these days?

Only an ignorant man would fall for that bizarre proposition. Neither cannabis nor optiates nor cocaine are hallicinogens, and none of the drugs that do give you hallucinations put you in touch with any unvarnished truth, or anything except the murky depths of your own unconcious.

The neocons are probably ingnorant and unsophisticated enough to fall for that Timothy Leary balderdash, but they already show many other signs of mental incompetence. It really was _Nancy_ Regan who consulted astrologers on Ron's behalf, even before he started getting Alzheimers, a bit before he started his second term?

It worked in 1919, so it should work today:

The Federal Council of Churches issued a statement that said in part, "individual liberty must be controlled in the interest of public welfare."

The industrial barons will not bite the hand that feed it.

It's because they're puritanical, and pleasure of any kind is a sin, and it's their divinely appointed duty to make absolutely sure that nobody sins.

Thanks, Rich

I'll drink to that! %-}

Well, where, other than the murky depths of your own unconscious, do you suppose they _hid_ the unvarnished truth?

Did you hear the story about the time the demons took over and decided to hide God? "Well, where should we hide him, where people will never find him?" "On the top of the highest mountain!" "Nah, that's no good, people like to climb mounatins - somebody would find him." "How about at the bottome of he deepest ocean?" "Nah, humans are pretty resourceful - they'll eventually get there..." and so on, until one of the demons says,

"I've got it! I know the one place no human will ever ever look!" "Where's that" "Inside themselves."

Cheers! Rich

Oh, bullshit.

If you believe this, you're a fool, or maybe merely an idiot.

You've obviously either never done cannabis, or you have some psychosis that predisposes you to spontaneous hallucination, but cannabis is _not_ a hallucinogen.

It _is_ a euphoriant, however - maybe that's what terrifies you so much. =:-O

Thanks, Rich

--- Yes, if I believed "this" I'd have to be, wouldn't I?

If you don't believe Cannabis Sativa can be hallucinogenic then I suspect you've never done anything polyploid or good Thai stick or you've forgotten (more like it) what it's like to do anything but the twigs and floor sweepings you get from the folks that pity you. Or you're smoking Cannabis Indica...

--- Yes, well, whatever gets you through the night, Rich.

--- And how, exactly did you come to that conclusion?
