I've been watching those threads in amazement. I realize some people need this substance for medicinal purposes. But, it seems like for so many (not partaking for medicinal purposes crowd), this is the most important thing in the world.
I understand LS leaving. DU can be a hateful place, full of people with a lot of hateful attitudes. I'm still in shock from the Trayvon Martin case. I have found democrats who still think "stop and frisk" was a good idea.
But, it's been obvious for awhile. It's a privilege thing, pure and simple. For a privileged few, apparently everyone on the planet was placed on Earth for their personal gratification and support.
For instance...
1) The first lady should sit down...give a heckler the mike.
2) President Obama should do...whatever they want him to do WHEN they want him to do it. I mean that's gall. When you think the President is your personal flunky.
3) Eric Holder [enter any recent put down]
The..."he should get a spine" comments, drive me nuts. What constitutes a spine? Being the personal attendant for whatever floats their boat at the moment.
If a small group of du'ers had their way, we'd probably all be "high" as kites, using a single sheet of toilet paper, restricted to a single child per couple, paying $50 for light bulbs while attempting to preserve the life expectancy of the dung beetles of America. We just don't all have the same priorities...
