I'm reserving comment until the brain chews it more thoroughly. Of course all conclusions are suspect, however attractive or agreeable they seem at first glance. Bill's other essays are also thought-provoking, so bookmark and have a look through when you have time to spare.
An old Indian chief sat in his hut on the reservation, smoking a ceremonial pipe and eyeing two US government officials sent to interview him.
"Chief Two Eagles," asked one official, "You have observed the white man for 90 years. You've seen his wars and his material wealth. You've seen his progress, and the damage he's done."
The chief nodded that it was so.
The official continued, "Considering all these events, in your opinion, where did the white man go wrong?"
The chief stared at the government officials for over a minute and then calmly replied, "When white man found the land, Indians were running it. No taxes, no debt, plenty buffalo, plenty beaver, women did all the work, medicine man free, Indian man spent all day hunting and fishing, all night having sex."
Then the chief leaned back and smiled, "White man dumb enough to think he could improve system like that!"

TRD LSD soon!
I lost my job today. I came into work on time. I did exactly what the boss told me to do! I followed all the rules and never once disrespected anyone. Then, the first time I ever had a chance to drive one of them forklifts, I made one little biddy mistake and everyone started running around in circles screaming and shouting. You'd think I blew the place up or something, the way people were looking at me afterwards! I don't understand it. I didn't mean to do it. It was an accident. Everyone messes up! It could've happened to anyone! They didn't have to fire me!

This is my beloved place of higher education, The University of Colorado at Boulder. 420 (I believe) is the police officer code for marijuana related crimes. Well, a while back, people started declaring April 20th, national smoke-out day. Farrand Field is the main field located smack-dab in the middle of campus, and close to 3,000 people "gather" here at around 4:20pm, on April 20th. There are too many people here to be controlled by the police, so the police department in Boulder (a city of 110,000, I believe, during the school year) just sends 4-5 "riot control" police (and please, tell me who the hell they expect to riot) and 5 undercover police looking for dealers. Don't you guys wish you were in college again?

If the local govt wants to put an end to this they shouldn't send in the police. The need to send in the local fire department. It'd be hard to light up if your stash was SOAKING WET
Edit: Now a soaking wet bunch of p.o.'d p. heads would be funny
