32. People are so afraid in this country


to stand up and say "That's enough."

But a $3,000 "tax" on 7 grams of plant material? HUH???????

I understand and I'm not angry at people for being timid and remaining silent on this issue. But I WILL pay mind to this, because it's the future we're talking about. We already know that we don't have enough younger people to support all the baby boomers who are retiring. Yet we continue to incarcerate our young in numbers that would be incomprehensible to most of us if we stopped to count.

We are damning ourselves, because most of these kids will never get the chance to make it. I hope all the rich kids who can snort cocaine without punishment realize THEY will be the ones supporting the rest of us if this trend is not reversed.

Party on ....
