Disjointed Thoughts

I do not smoke pot. I don't have a problem with it, I just choose not to use it. I honestly don't see the point in it. I can eat some Twinkies and take a nap all on my own without the risk of being arrested.

The thing I don't understand about people who do smoke pot, is their willingness to sign their names to petitions trying to change the laws on drug use in the US. I'm not real big on Conspiracies and there is no Tin Foil on top of my head to keep the Aliens out, but it honestly seems kinda dumb to sign a "I Support Drug Use" petition which is then going to be sent to the GOVERNMENT.
Come on people ... honestly ... there is no need for a conspiracy or secret undercover stoner agents or any of that crap when you are sending them a document with your name on it.

Just a thought.

And another thing ... Trial by a jury of your peers. I've watched Court TV a few times in my years on this planet and I've never in my life seen an actual jury of peers. If the system were to be taken seriously, then, for instance, if a drug dealer were on trial for murder, wouldn't all the members of the jury also have to be drug dealers or at least in the same social class as the accused? How can it be called a jury of your peers when the people passing judgment on a drug dealer are doctors and lawyers and socialites and school teachers who don't have the faintest clue of what the accused goes through and has to deal with on a daily basis, much less be in a position to pass judgment on them.

Also ...

Children are NOT our future, and I can prove it.

Children can not possibly be our future because by the time the future gets here ...
They are no longer children.
So HA!
