		<description>Tonight on FOX...
(What I&#039;m watching right now...
This Surprised me):

Two favorite topics-of-discussion, contained 
within a crime-drama program
(examples of...): 

&lt;i&gt;- Deadly, man-made pharma-pseudocal, &lt;/i&gt;

&lt;i&gt;- Excessively-punitive policies against a 
God-Given spice-plant.&lt;/i&gt;


LIE TO ME:
&lt;i&gt;&quot;The Best Policy&quot;&lt;/i&gt;
Repeat, 3/18/2009, Reality
Lightman is hired to find a corporate spy at a 
pharmaceutical company and uncovers a high-level 
conspiracy involving a dangerous new drug; 
(&lt;b&gt;Prioxx&#8482;&lt;/b&gt; )

the team assists in negotiations for the release 
of two Americans held captive in Yemen.
&lt;b&gt;(Who happened to have an oz. of weed on them, 
therefore, are facing charges for &lt;i&gt;&quot;trafficking&quot;&lt;/i&gt;, 
even though the pot was obviously for personal-use only...)&lt;/b&gt;

		<description>FAREWELL TO TELEVISION: 

- Though this comment might not 
be seen by too many, now that more 
pressing stories are at the top-of-the-stack, 

- I just have to say that watching my favorite 
television-programs on the major networks
is getting next to &lt;b&gt;intolerable&lt;/b&gt; to do, 
for reason of their commercials: &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Pharma-
zombies&lt;/i&gt; gawking, full-screen, into the camera, 
hawking Tylenol&#174;, anti-depressant and sleep-meds... 
(and whatever-else I&#039;d never buy!!!).&lt;/b&gt; 
Uggh!!!  :x 


- Network tee-vee, 
you have lost me, completely!!! 
to Youtube, VHS and DVD!!!</description>

		<description>First of all, I watch the show &quot;Weeds&quot; because I find it entertaining, and not for activism or informational purposes. Secondly, before we go bagging on Shotime for making money from pot culture without airing activist content, I would like to point out that I&#039;ve seen &quot;American Drug War: The Last White Hope&quot;, &quot;Grass&quot;, and &quot;AKA Tommy Chong&quot; all on this network. Not that any of this has anything to do with CBS backing out of the show deal with NORML, but I felt I should speak up in the interest of fairness.</description>

Parial is O.K.   We&#039;re still on common ground...and
...half an orange is better than no orange at all...once you can touch the orange that is.  I guess my very famous great uncle neurologist would say half a brain is better than no brain at all. (Chuckle).</description>

Sure you&#039;re right...but...in war your brain turn to water, runs out your ears, and noting matters.  I think I&#039;m going to pay particular attention to the war raging between conservatives and liberals.  In our case, our fight, for the elimination of prohibitionists, the fight between conservative v. liberal is a lose-lose situation.  We&#039;re damned if we do, and damned if we don&#039;t.  That&#039;s because &quot;NO POT FOR PEOPLE&quot; originates from a higher source than politics.  It originates from &quot;OUR TOTALITARIAN MASTER.&quot;  By the way...what credentials for creditability have the prohibs ever given us anyway.  I&#039;m going to stick with what makes sense, and if need be defend it.  But you&#039;re right.  Forgive me for my complicity.  We&#039;re dealing with extremists here, and sometimes we have to fight fire with fire.  Ya! I know two wrongs don&#039;t make a right.  Political strategy says &quot;Go with the flow.&quot;  It still makes more sense than anything prohibs have to spin.   

So!  If Lincoln didn&#039;t say it...hell!...I say it!  How&#039;s that for platitude...not to mention plagiarism.</description>

Who the hell cares...it still makes sense whether he said it or not.  Common sense is common sense in anyone&#039;s language or time.  I&#039;m often accused of being politically incorrect.   The only thing you have to consider is that I have faith in the statement.  Now!
