Big HELLO to all 3 1/2 of my visitors. I actually haven't been on this blog for years. I was having fun on Facebook but I am a big one for being allowed to speak. You see if there is not "free marketplace" of ideas then we lose freedom. I should speak. Sure I am going to be wrong sometimes. unlike some folks I do not claim to speak for God or from a plane so much higher than yours that you should automatically sit up straight and heed every sound that I make. I claim no divinity. I just like to talk. I like to hear or read my own voice. Okay usually I do make sense and the things I have to say are many times meant to be read by others.

So what sends me back to this back alley often unseen blog? I am kicked off of Facebook. Well only suspended. Mark Zuckerberg sent me home for a few days. No I can't appeal it. They say there is a way but when I attempted it before, I got the same response I get from my Senator when I write to him about the V.A.. Crickets Chirping. This is the third time, at least the third that I am aware of. You see I often bail out of Faceslam because I just get tired of the people posting Memes gathered from, who knows where. So when I bail out for a week Zuckerbergs commies could send me to the hall and I would never know. So what was I put into the hallway for? It was for writing "Muzzies". Yeah that's it. Just a one word response to a posted prefabricated Meme. I "commented" "Muzzies". I was informed that what I had done was in some way super offensive or alarming or threatening to some 12 year old intellect in southeast Asia or something. One time I wrote about how to escape those computer seizing highjack viruses and how I got into one of those traps while researching information about radical "muzzies" in Michigan. Something I had read in a meme that had to be vetted before I commented. Yeah I do that. I really didn't know until now what it was I did that was so disturbing to Zuckerberg. And then the other time I made a comment about the Belgians forcing euthanasia on mentally ill patients. I commented "Seig Heil". Yeah the Nazis did that stuff. The term means "Hail Victory". What a caustic thing to say. Well yes I speak fluent sarcasm. But so what? Is there no place for Sarcasm in the "Free Marketplace of Ideas"? It seems not. At least not in the anti-social "social media". Look for the whole of Facebook to be taken over by Cute cat and funny goat videos. Okay I am not that sour a person I love cats and kids. I even like alligators. But Mark Zuckerberg doesn't like me. Oh Well!

Are your rights dependent on what I, as a taxpayer have to say? Really?

I listened to what former Atty General Gonzales had to say on the Geraldo Rivera program and once again was treated to the mindset of those who believe that ones access to their rights depends on what the cost is, monetarily to another citizen. Got that? Yeah I know, what does that mean right? Well the concept is that if the taxpayer in Maryland is going to have to pay for some cost incured by them being held responsible for the health and welfare of a person in California then they get to say what the person in California does. Sort of like a giant crowd of conjoined twins. If one happens to be a tea totaler and his conjoined brother happens to be given to having a drink occasionally? Should the one who drinks be allowed to indulge? Do you see something wrong with the concept? Well the analogy from where I stand is spot on but the concept when it comes to reference to a Nation is terribly flawed. You nor I are ever intended to be the conjoined twins of any other group of persons so that the decision as to whether one person or the other is allowed to enjoy their God Given rights is based on the effect it has on you when the reason for that effect is caused by an unnatural and wrong relationship. Of course another person is not empowered with the right to cause you harm by what they do if what they do is obviously wrong or depraved. But what about if that person over indulges in drink and becomes an alcoholic? What if they never do any harm to you out of intoxication? What if they just get sick and die? Okay you and I will not be able to stand by and let a person who is ill, be ill without some kind of aid from us. But should we be compelled to render such aid by the federal government and because of the cost incurred by that compulsion feel as though we should interfere with that persons right to control of their own life? What if they never become an alcoholic what if they consistently use alcohol responsibly. Then what? Should the fact that some ne'r do well does drink way to excess to the point that he becomes a useless drunk dictate what a responsible person does? How about marijuana? Yes that subject again. How about it?


Atty Gonzales contends that there are cosequences to the long term use of marijuana and because of the cost incured to other citizens by ones long term use of marijuana the plant should remain illegal and the federal government should interject itself into the rights of the states and the citizens and enforce its ban. I won't get into the "scientific" studies on marijuana except to say that yes if one does overuse it it does have ill effects. But the wrong use of aspirin can lead to Reyes syndrome and the wrong use of food can lead to obesity and death. But should aspirin be taken off the shelves and should Mayor Bloomberg get into the business of telling us what we can eat? Mayor of New York,Bloomberg is involved at present in outlawing anything over 16 oz, it is 16 ox isn't it, of sugary drinks. Well I'm a diabetic so whether the "Route 44" size of drink from Sonic is available in Topeka means nothing to me. I can't drink it anyway. I do however drink the BIG sized Diet Dr Pepper. And how long before someone finds a problem with over indulgence in the artificial sweetener in that? Then what? Does the Federal Government get into regulating Diet Dr. Pepper? What if I come home on Friday eve and my wife and dog and I get into the SUV and turn on the tunes and go cruise Topeka sipping on a "Route 44" Vanilla Diet Dr. Pepper? Should the DEA arrest us and prosecute us for drinking artificial sweetener? How about if I come home on Friday and drop a drop or two of hash oil into my Diet Dr. Pepper. No I'm not going driving. But at the rate I would be using it I would not become very intoxicated and there would be no long term effect. I'm not even going to get into the medical use of herbs including marijuana. Because of the lack of investigation of the federal government there is deemed to be no use, whether it has uses or not. The cause for alarm is not there. Not if one isn't becoming over intoxicated and trying to drive or spending their time intoxicated and robbing people. Which can occur even if a person is just plain lazy and wants to be taken care of. And of course the outlawing of anything that can possibly be misused to cause harm is not only insulting to the individual. Does the federal government really have more sense than you? Look at their economic abilities! Really! So, tell me if they outlaw magazines with capacities above 15 rounds in Colorado does that mean that no one can shoot anybody? Huh! So tell me if I want to carry a magazine of 30 rounds and the law says that I can only have a magazine of 15 rounds then what do I do. You've got it I just carry two magazines and swap out. If I want a 32 oz drink of pop and Nanny State says I can't buy one then I just buy two 16 oz drinks. If I want to smoke pot and the feds say no, well I have no feds here now, if I was a pot head I would just light up and not worry about it. A person can, and many do simply grow a plant or two by the back fence or in the hall closet. No I don't have closets and I grow tomatoes and peppers and the like not columbian gold so you can take a "chill pill" Officer Friendly. Just like people Bootleg booze into dry counties and brew moonshine in the woods folks will just extend the middle finger and grow their own.


The government has no right nor should it desire to become involved with the general health of its citizens beyond the encouragement to pursue a healthy life style. In fact when the government feels the need to protect us from our bad lifestyle choices it will also feel the need to control us and outlaw those choices that they deem bad for us. Kinda Like Sharia Law. Or like the alcohol prohibition we already tried and failed at.


When it comes to the idea of the government spending money the image of the Tv program "Border Wars" comes to mind. Those brave border guards and customs agents defending the border from well armed human and drug smugglers. Don't they already have enough to do to protect our borders from heroin and meth and cocaine and other seriously dengerous drugs without having to protect it from some weed? The market for that weed was created when our government decided to make pot illegal. Without going into the reasoning behind the outlawing of pot which I am told had much to do with the fact that it was used by Mexican migrant workers who were looked down upon along with their weed. The fact still remains that if those who had the desire to use pot could grow their own or obtain it from their neighbors it would not be very darn profitable to smuggle it north across our borders. Now would it? No the cartels would not collapse nor would the drug financed gang activity here dry up entirely. They would find another source of income. But the marijuana source would belong to the citizens of the USA legaly and not to the cartels and criminal gangs in the USA. The money spent to interdict the transport of a stupid weed could be used to stop the import of other drugs and humans. Just watch Colorado, if they do outlaw magazines with capacities above 15 rounds they will create a market for 20 and 30 round magazines and if I owned a gun shop in McKraken, Kanorado or Sharon Springs Kansas I would put extra 20 and 30 round mags on the shelves. Just like the counties neighboring the dry counties do a stiff trade in booze the trade in the illegal items for Colorado will increase. Are they going to try to enforce those dopey laws or are those laws going to be another round of do nothing feel good regulations designed to do nothing more than make criminals out of decent citizens?


America you really need to worry about the government that has no qualms about spending enough money to put your children and childrens children into debt, on worthless pursuits while trying to control you to the extent of passing law after law to control every aspect of your life from the number of bullets you have in your rifle to the size of the pop you can buy to whether or not you can smoke a joint or even a damn cigarette. The last government to worry about the diet of its citizens, other than starving them to death, and their smoking habits along with gun possesion was Nazi Germany. No kidding. Think about it. No I'm not kidding think about it! With the idea circulating among our DOJ officials that the cost incurred by the government for taking care of your health might be used to determine how you live your life legally along side of the Affordable care act "Obamacare", think of the possibilities!

Women in Combat

So now the bright minds who have taken it upon themselves to guide our society in the way in which it should go have decided to open the “combat arms” military specialties to women. This will place them directly in combat. “If you read any ancient history, you know that centuries ago it was commonplace for women to fight side by side with men on the battlefield. This is not the stuff of mythology. It is fact. Today, in Iraq women are on the front lines again fighting side by side with their male counterparts. On a mission just south of Baghdad over the winter, a young soldier jumped into the gunner's turret of an armored Humvee and took control of the menacing .50-caliber machine gun. She was 19 years old, weighed barely 100 pounds and had a blond ponytail hanging out from under her Kevlar helmet. "This is what is different about this war," Lt. Col. Richard Rael, commander of the 515th Corps Support Battalion, said of the scene at the time. "Women are fighting it. Women under my command have confirmed kills. These little wisps of things are stronger than anyone could ever imagine and taking on more than most Americans could ever know." (1) Well this author is right . In Roman times a Briton Queen an Icenae known as Boudica was raped along with her daughters and saw her husband killed by Roman troops. The Celtic women were all skilled in the use of weapons anyway so it was not much out of character for her to strike back. And she did. Queen Boudica led the Icenae and several other Briton tribes against the Romans and fought the local legion to a standstill almost destroying them. Eventually Roman tactics won out and she was killed with her army. Who can forget those brave ladies in Corregidor who served under fire for so long before having to surrender to the Japanese. Then there were the women of the Soviet Union who fought the Nazis and the brave ladies of the Palmach many not yet old enough to be called women who stood against appalling odds in the Israeli war of independence. All through the Korean and Vietnam wars our women were caught up in combat. Since combat just seems to go and find you if you are in the area. There are however certain problems that the modern armies have encountered with using women in combat alongside of men and especially quartering them with men. “Thirty-six crew members of the USS Acadia were pregnant and had to be transferred during the supply ship's deployment to the Persian Gulf, naval officials said. More than half became pregnant after the ship was underway, but Navy spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Jeff Smallwood said there were no indications of improper fraternization between men and women on the ship.”(2) As this 1991 article says there was more than close quartering going on here. It is a problem that has always been there when women and men have been mixed into hazardous situations. In fact it is more than that. In a combat type situation privacy will necessarily go out the window. As a young Cavalry Scout I remember being able to take a break and placing my poncho on the ground and my steel helmet up on the side of my Armoured Personnel Carrier and filling it with water. I would strip naked and pull out my extra underclothes and socks and use the warm water in the helmet as an impromptu shower. I didn’t care that there were 7 or 8 other soldiers in the area in full view. Why should I we were all guys. We also shared latrine facilities and slept and did everything in close quarters. Privacy cannot be achieved or expected under such conditions. The fact is that after 4 or 5 days on patrol we would commonly return to the camp and hit the showers. What followed is very intimate. We checked every spot on our brothers bodies that they could not see to remove the ticks that got there. While I am sure that most male troopers would gladly offer to check the female ones somehow I just don’t see that as conducive to order. Sure separate facilities can be supplied and other female troops may be available but in many situations they just don’t exist and cannot be a concern. I got into a discussion with a gender feminist farmer once and of course she knew a farm wife who could work any man into the ground. They always do. But putting aside the 7’ tall 300lb farmwife who has six teats and four children on the teat. She never sleeps, can toss wet square cane bales all day and cook all night and feed a cutting crew and her 20 member family with one hand tied behind her back. It is just not her that will eventually be called to serve. It will be your little blue eyed Suzie cutie that will be called. Forget that argument about they will never draft. Yes they will and little 5’6” 120 lb Suzie will be training to try to kill 6’3” 210 lb men. She will be required to carry water supply and rations and ammo and weapon and all other gear in her pack that any male trooper will be required to carry. But she may not be ready for it. “Age may only be a number, especially in youth, but it has a major impact on physical capabilities, as does gender. Men are, generally speaking, stronger than women. In order to provide for all of the Army's needs for skilled personnel, the physical requirements are modified by age and gender, so as not to preclude skilled military personnel by unfair tests. At the same time, both men and women alike are pushed beyond their self-imposed limits while attending Army Basic Training.”(3) I will never malign a woman’s ability with a weapon or her capability in unarmed combat if properly trained but reality is reality. Sure when we shot Modified Combat matches in the Army we dreaded shooting against the WAC that would occasionally show up at those matches. Women never came out of these things on a whim. They were always skilled and they had biological advantage. Yes they did! Find your favourite woman and lead her to the wall, have her face the wall a few feet from it. Place a chair sidewise against the wall. Have her walk up to the chair until she touches it. Then have her Bend at the waist and put her head against the wall. She needs to reach down now and pick up the chair. Yes she really will do it. Now you big brute, you do it. You probably can’t. She’s made for carrying babies she is built for balance and power in positions that you aren’t. But despite her ability to easily shoot the pants off of most men, like my wife does with me, and her innate ability to excel at Tae Kwon Do and Tai Chi and some other martial arts and her ability to double time till a man drops and some other built in specialties, she is still smaller and lighter. All things being equal a man of 6’ and 200 lbs will use her for a wet mop if he so pleases. The military has known this from the start. This reality has it’s problems. “Rape in civilian life is already unacceptably common. One in six women is raped or sexually assaulted in her lifetime, according to the National Institute of Justice, a number so high it should be considered an epidemic. In the military, however, the situation is even worse. Rape is almost twice as frequent as it is among civilians, especially in wartime. Soldiers are taught to regard one another as family, so military rape resembles incest. And most of the soldiers who rape are older and of higher rank than their victims, so are taking advantage of their authority to attack the very people they are supposed to protect. Department of Defense reports show that nearly 90 percent of rape victims in the Army are junior-ranking women, whose average age is 21, while most of the assailants are non-commissioned officers or junior men, whose average age is 28. This sexual violence persists in spite of strict laws against rape in the military and a concerted Pentagon effort in 2005 to reform procedures for reporting the crime. Unfortunately, neither the press nor the many teams of psychologists and sociologists who study veterans ever seem to ask why. The answer appears to lie in a confluence of military culture, the psychology of the assailants and the nature of war“.(4) When it comes to the dubious talent of killing other people it just helps allot if you have a certain mentality and an extra “Y” chromosome would help too. Soldiers do not take to sensitivity training well. They will sit politely and listen and parrot back what was told to them if necessary but it is in their nature to hunt and hurt and kill. Hopefully this nature is tempered by a code of etiquette and is brought under control to be used only against ones enemies. The man who is highly motivated in this end and is highly skilled in whatever his specialty is and can be directed by his superiors will do well as a military man. Unfortunately it is also connected to the sex drive which is made doubly hard to control when you dangle a tasty snack in front of the wolf. No excuses it should not happen and must not be tolerated but there should be no shock when the situation is rigged so as to encourage such behaviour. Bad, intolerable but reality. It is and has always been my opinion and many others that the female psyche is best suited to and should be used for the nurture of children. Now this is generally speaking. I realize that today’s woman has been through a concentrated education designed to eradicate so far as possible the mother instinct. Yet we have to admit that we still need it. I also believe that intentionally injecting a woman into the daily stress of combat and exposing her to the blood and gore of that worst of men’s pursuits is debilitating to the female psyche in ways that a man cannot understand. As a believer in God and his design in creation I believe that the woman is and has always been intended to be the bearer of life and man if need be has the duty to hunt and kill and to protect that bringer of life that he so loves. But what if this being that was designed to give birth and bring forth and nurture life is exposed to horror beyond what she is intended to behold? “we are starting see the effects women fighting on the front lines and studies are indicating that more women are suffering from more debilitating forms of PTSD. According to Paula Schnurr, a lead researcher for a 6 million dollar study on the effects of PTSD in women, “data indicate that female military personnel are far more likely than their male counterparts to have been exposed to some kind of trauma or multiple traumas before joining the military or being deployed in combat. That may include physical assault, sexual abuse or rape.” (5) Yes the fact is supported by the VA Hospitals that women are more affected by the things that tend to warp men. And I know it is popular for the social engineers to spout off with “Well men can be sodomized too”. The fact is that in modern times yes some male prisoners of war have been sodomized but it is far more common for women to be raped by their captors who tend to be men. Yes we fight men. And no they don’t all go to sensitivity meetings and concentrate on how to be caring and thoughtful toward their female captives. They don’t give a damn. Yes that little pony tailed M2B princess jumped right in there and pushed the thumb lever down on that machine gun and drove off the bad guys. I could train a spider monkey to do that. Heck I trained new troops to do it. But in a fight it’s different. Someday that pony tailed barely 100lb darling that the Col. Spoke off will be alone and advancing on a stairwell looking to gain an advantage to see if she can spot her unit so as to rejoin them if possible. She comes around a corner and meets Mustafa a 6’ 195 lb Taliban tribesman who grabs her by the shirt and takes the M4 out of her hands and throws it aside. She is barely 100 lbs right well Mustafa’s lunch weighs more than that. Poor little gal gets stomped and raped and thrown off of the rooftop. Then I and a bunch of old veterans have to go and burry her because she just plain was not suited to the job. It happens and when it does we have to bury the evidence. The big media doesn’t tell you. Sure Women can do all sorts of things but just because they can why in God’ name should they? The mission of the Military is to break things and kill people not to achieve new social restructuring no matter how progressive it seems.

No Guns = Safe right?

Just a thought before I go.

    I was watching The Song of Bernadette recently. They used a phrase that I thought was very interesting. To those who believe no explanation is necessary and for those who do not believe no explanation will do. It is a neat phrase but it seems to refer to faith and completely excludes critical thought and logic from faith. What it seems to do, in my estimation is to divide the argument into those who blindly accept and those who absolutely reject the validity of a point outright without evidence to support their stand. I reject any such mode of thought. I accept the rule of The Church without argument, based on the fact that her rule stems from the personal teachings of My Master given to the apostles and kept by her and based also on her 2000+ years of eperience giving wisdom far in excess of mine. I however hold no such position on anything else.    All things other than the magesterium of Holy Church are up for debate. In fact I believe that my views can be supported by critical thought based on the certain evidence. Not merely philosophy.
    All to often today the idea of critical thought is tossed out of the window and actions and philosophies are based entirely on feelings or on ones personal thought no matter how lacking in merit. We started this, to the extent it has risen to, in the seventies.
    People have always been prone to base their choices on emotion or "feeling over substance". One only has to look at the division in the Christian church to see the rise of the idea that an individual has greater wisdom than a Church founded by God that has been around for millenia. But in the past speaking against the insanity of "feeling over substance" was allowed. People used to be looked down upon for being ruled by emotion and not by logic. Today we reward errant illogical and biased thought, so long as it is biased the right way. We are so concerned about peoples feelings that we will not offend the poor dears by stating flatly that they are behaving like idiots. Furthermore we call them progressive and reward them. There is a use for people of this sort. In a Democracy a demaogogue will easily prey on the weak minded by a passionate plea to their base desires or at least to  their emotions and steer them into voting for a certain policy based entirely on the emtional content of the issue. Whole world views and life choices of great consequence are decided on mere gut reactions. This fact is why we were given a Republic in the begining, with a constitution that set the rules of how the Republic was to be run and how the power was to be divided. Most of all to limit the power of the government so that the people always had enough purchase on the political power of the nation to limit the abusive nature of the government without using force of arms.

Don't step on the grass Sam.

    Yeah that's the thing I'm thinking about right now. For those of you who are familiar with Steppenwolf, I mean the band not the book, and their song 'Don't step on the grass Sam" this is where I am headed.
    I don't know whether to sing the praises of Cannabis or to simply acquiesce to the fact that it just won't go away. I guess I'll do both. You know another state legalized it. I think it won't be long before the whole of the United states will be turning toward Wash. D.C. with their thumbs to their noses and pipes in their collective fists. The only entity that will keep it illegal will be the Federal Government.
 Won't that be interesting? The 50 states saying yes and the federal government trying to say no. Can you imagine another Obamaesqe character in the white house pissing and moaning about Arizona wanting to enforce federal and state law about illegal immigration but accepting their thumbing their noses at Cannabis law?
    Where this will all go I am not sure but I am sure that so long as it sticks with cannabis there's no real problem. What?, you say, are you crazy endorsing the use of cannabis? No really I'm not. Before I straightened out and became a Catholic and started to something very like abiding by the law, I used to get stoned. Of course I did. I've been a biker of sorts for a long time. And one thing you can count on Scooter trash to do is exactly what they please. So I smoked and sold and grew. Yes officer that was over 7 years ago. More like 20 something. But the point is that if you grow up with a certain behaviour you either see the danger in it or see it as harmless. Or both. I personally see Cannabis as pretty harmless. It is no corrupter of youth beyond what the other dangers that beckon to the youth of this country are. And for heavens sake drop that line about it being a gateway drug. Gateway where? If a teen picks up a beer and drinks beer off and on for a while before he lights up a joint then the gateway drug was beer. But if he smokes cigarettes first then the gateway drug was cigarettes but if he is like the guys I did my last half year with in high school and has a ring in his back pocket from a snuff can. Well the gateway drug was Copenhagen or Skoal or Grizzly. You can blame all sorts of things on all sorts of things but if the person is going to take harder drugs then they will do it with or without Pot. I was into much more potent stuff a year before I smoked my first joint. When I had quit the other stuff and straightened out a bit I still smoked a bit. I quit that out of necessity. The people who were the type that I got in trouble with were the ones who sold or knew where to get pot. I had a promise to not get into trouble to keep so I had to switch playthings and playmates.
    But think about it. If you have never smoked pot what do you think it does to people? Are you one of those who believes in the "Marijuana Madness" image of pot smokers? Do you really think that a person can be a real nice guy one minute and light up a joint and become a pot smoking sex fiend the next? No it doesn't do that. If you are a nice person before you light up you are a nice person after. It's sort of like having a few drinks. Except the police will tell you that except in extreme cases they would rather deal with a pot smoker than a drunk. It's been my experience that a pot smoker is much less likely to get violent than a drunk. That is if they are not violent to begin with. Marijuana use in the normal range just doesn't cause anybody to do something they aren't going to do in the first place. Sure the weed does lower inhibitions but like I said it isn't going to cause a Catholic Virgin to strip naked and "do it" if they don't seriously want to "do it" already. In fact what one can expect is a euphoria of sorts maybe a a bit of giggling if they smoke enough they will become uncoordinated and maybe confused. But you have to be pretty stoned or smoking some serious chronic weed for that. And no matter how much you use you will not overdose. I have been about as high on weed as you can get in the past and took a whole 12+ hours to come down and still did not overdose. A pot high usually lasts an hour to three hours unless you keep smoking. I got a terrible case of dry mouth but my life was never in danger. No one else was ever in danger either. And I never got addicted. In those days I could smoke. If I did that now I would have to have my albuterol inhaler handy.
    Of course no one with any sense of responsibility would advocate that children of any age should use it unless advised by a physician. But it is safer even in the long term than Alcohol and diabetics can use it if they can get by the munchies, the propensity of pot to make you eat anything you can get your paws on. I remember a green variety the sellers said was from Mexico that we could get in the early 70's. It would make you feel very good, happy and contented and chatty and giggly and then as soon as we could find our way out of those bean bag chairs, bar the door Nellie. We were a holy terror for Moon Pies and Cherry Smashes and Dr Pepper.  Point is that we smoked quite a bit of pot and had allot of fun and did no one any harm and never once endangered our lives because of the pot. We did stupid stuff but hey, we were crazy. We were gonna act dopey with or without the pot.
   I like to watch that border wars series. I think the American people need to understand what kind of folks are causing the mayhem in that border war and what they are capable of. Used to be that we would saddle up and ride down to Ciudad Juarez and go partying. Sure it could be tricky then but if you didn't step out of line too bad there was just about nothing you could do that $50.00 couldn't buy you out of. The locals usually didn't cause you any mayhem because you were their source of income. A dollar would keep them running for a couple of days and running well. They could eat high on the hog literally for five bucks a day. But now if you go down there you run the very real risk of getting caught up in a Sinaloa / Zeta firefight. I've even heard of American women getting kidnapped and sold off down there. A large part of the money that funds these crazies who line the road to Monterrey with heads and decapitated corpses is from pot. Of course billions is consumed by our DEA and Border Patrol in stopping Pot, a stupid plant, from crossing the border. Even the local sheriffs and the forest rangers have a dickens of a time trying to stop the growing of pot. in the meantime there are Meth labs and crack labs going great guns using dangerous chemicals needing to be busted and they can barely get to them.If they didn't have the pot to contend with I think they could be freed up for the more dangerous stuff.
      Did you know that pot is classed on a level with LSD? Since when did pot get dangerous enough to be placed on level with LSD oh yeah and Heroin? You have got to be kidding me you say. No I'm not. Sure there are anti-pot zealots out there that will announce their ignorance to the world and proclaim that pot is as dangerous as Heroin and as mind bending as LSD. I tell you that based on personal experience, no it is not even almost dangerous. But the Law will beat themselves silly trying to eradicate it. They will also proclaim the dangers of smoking pot and nearly wet themselves to haul in a hundred pounds from the smugglers. It looks like quite a bit on Tv but while they are busting the hundred pounds a half a ton is crossing elsewhere and is north bound. Then there is the home gardener who will install a set of grow lights and keep a few plants in the basement or the garage. Not the folks who rent a whole house for the purpose of growing a thousand plants but the old hippie who keeps a couple of plants in self defense. He never buys or smokes it in public but he nevertheless has at any one time a pound of prime bud. You cannot stop him unless you plan on ignoring the constitution and start searching the whole neighborhood one house at a time. The fact is America despite that silly war on plants you are surrounded by weed. Someone down the block is growing a plant or two. You can't stop it.
    But why would you want to stop it? Okay smoking anything except BBQ is not good for your health. That is sure. But the use of cannabis is not dependent on smoking. There is a method called vaporizing. The pot is heated to just below the smoking temperature and it vaporizes. No kidding. there is also the tincture. You put a bunch of chopped buds into alcohol and let soak covered. Then strain and the alcohol has the active ingredients in it. You can either let it stay in the alcohol or add oil and let stand uncovered. The alcohol will evaporate off and viola Hash oil. Or you can use hash or hash oil or tincture in cooking. What's hash? Well it's like distilled pot. The part of the pot that intoxicates is a set of cannabanoids contained in resinous hairs called trichomes on the buds of the plant. If you cut the buds off and let them dry for a while then there are several methods that you can use to break those little nearly microscopic trichomes off. They will stick to each other and if you press them together into a shape you will get the traditional brick like appearance of Hashish. The hashish or hash can be smoked or eaten. Fat likes it. You can put it into margarine or butter when you are baking and make some powerful brownies or candy or whatever.
    These alternative methods are popular amongst the modern medical users of cannabis. And if you are thinking that the idea of pot as a medicine is just a pile of "bovine scat", think again. Victorian doctors in the famously restrained country of Britain tested and saw that it did have valid medical uses. Queen Victoria used it to relieve female cramps and to help with her depression after the King died. I'll guarantee that you never found a woman much more devoted to Christianity than Queen Victoria in the Protestant churches. The British army in India picked up smoking ganja (pot) from the Sepoy troops and found it to be very good for treating the nausea that came along with certain camp diseases and they found that it caused very few problems with morale. In fact today medical marijuana is used to treat the tremors of palsies and ease back pain, relieve pressure in the eyes of a glaucoma patient, help with depression and a list of other things. The plant has quite a few active compounds in it. The THC or tetrahydracanabinol and some thing called CBD or canabidiol and other active components found in different levels in different strains of the two types of cannabis used for medicinal purposes have very different effects depending on the levels of the different components in the pot. It's been used for relieving maladies from anxiety attacks to alleviating the nausea and restoring the appetite of cancer patients. Meth and crack and LSD and heroin and the other drugs in that schedule do not do that and they kill. Pot doesn't. Pot seed is used in many uses from bio fuels to beer. Yeah I've seen it, I drank some in Canada.
    Besides the cannabis sativa and the cannabis indica, the intoxicating strains, there is cannabis ruderalis. One of its strains is Hemp. Any old sailor knows what hemp is. The Bosun's locker of the older ships were filled with it since some of the best rope or line to a sailor was made of hemp. It is one of the strongest fibers we can grow. It can be used for rope or for shirts and pants or for whatever your mind can dream up where a vegetable fibre is needed. And of course it can be used for bio fuel. We used to grow it. The War Dept. experimented with it in WWII because of the Japanese invasion of the major latex producing nations of the world.  They found it had all sorts of promise then they banned it. Along the way they banned the sativas and the indicas. Now they are working on Poppies who knows what is next? Let's just legalize it then we don't have to fight a non-enemy and waste our resources on a quixotic task of trying to eliminate a very useful plant.

Farewell to white stigma.

    I'm sitting here thinking do I dare or do  I not.  I still have enough brainwashing  to hold back saying what  I feel I need to say. My whole race has been pressured to stay silent for so long that  have lived this whole 57 years a virtual mute along with every right leaning white male in America. Why. Because we have been taught not to speak up to keep our mouths shut about what we see or else bear the stigma of being called a racist.
     We have watched the movies and the news reports declaring what horrible crimes we have perpetrated on women and everyone who is not pure European heritage.
From the theft of the Americas from their aboriginal inhabitants to the enslavement of millions of Africans into servitude in the new world to the exploitation of orientals in the menial tasks associated with the building of this nation that I love. Along with the shoving aside of immigrants from every prosperous undertaking available here. Well I will not take the time to debate it though if I did I would destroy the whole premise of the oppressive European.
     I just have to say that the purpose of those who have raised their fists into the sky and shout their anti white propaganda is obvious. The have pushed their propaganda of suspicion and hate into the minds of Americans to the point that their dealings with each other have been permeated with a distrust so thick that at many times I have felt the need to appease and assuage and calm and comfort and kneel before and kotow to any and all members of another race or the opposite sex to keep from being called a RACIST. Well the anger in me for having to live 57 years as a suspected racist /sexist just because I am a European American Male is done with. I've had it with all of you Gender feminist dyke wannabes and you poor put upon blacks and Hispanics and orientals and Indians and everybody who is not of European descent. Too bad if you feel an offense every time you deal with a white man I can't and I will not help you any more I will no longer bow to you and put my lips to your posterior. I can't abide your United Negro Colleges and your Black Entertainment TV. I hope your National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People, and Jesse Jackson's "Monochrome" coalition blows up and burns to ashes. I'm tired. If you who are not white males cannot accept us as is then Bugger Off. You stand in front of us with your hats on upside down and backwards and your pants down to your knees jabbering in some verbal slop impossible even for your mind to understand behaving like some sort of a demented clown constantly grabbing with one hand at your genetals and you want us to show you the respect reserved for an individual of high intelligence and a high level of accomplishment. In fact I am supposed to not only allow you to sit in the empty seat available in the bus of life but now I have to give you my seat even when you didn't earn it just because you are a different colour than me? No! No! I will not any more. I will tell you this once and only once. My family never owned you or your sister nor any of your family as slaves. We owe you nothing so don't come looking. It is your behaviour not my prejudice which has caused me to watch you out of the corner of my eye when you are around. My experience tells me to do so, not some obscure tale about slavery. What I have seen and what has been done to me tells me not to trust people no matter the colour that are dressed and act a certain way. And if you dress and act like thugs I will treat you like thugs. Let me tell you a story.
     I was following Hwy 17 south in the spring of '06 headed to South Carolina. Somewhere in Winston Salem I lost the highway and landed in the dark side of town. Well I stopped and whipped out my map and began to plot a course out of there. I noticed that quite a few of the hoods denizens had taken an interest in me but weren't quite sure what they had parked there. I was sitting on an 80 cu in vtwin piled with gear wearing a three piece patch. Obviously they had had experience with biker clubs because all I had to do was undo my vest and smile and they kept their distance. Not wanting to call the never ending wrath of what might be an outlaw club down on their hood. I got done with what I needed to do and moved on without incident. Their life experience told them to be wary of bikers wearing patches. My life experiences (not the KKK) tells me to be wary of certain folks.
 too.
    But from now on I really don't care what anyone thinks I was born White I am White and I will from this day on be proud of being White. Anyone who can't abide by a white person being happy to be white, Bugger Off. I have put up with all of the "Black power", and La raza, and ADL and NAACP and SPLC and Black liberation and Aztlan liberation and AIM and every other anti white organization there is. I bear you no ill will if you are not like me but don't be surprised if I suddenly shout  White Pride World Wide. Why shouldn't I seek the survival of my people and a future for our children. The actions of those who think their race makes them entitled have forced me to it with their policies of exclusion. And don't tell me I'm the only one who feels this way. I'm just one of the few who has the guts to write it.
