Puppies Smuggling Drugs

Ah yes, so many things in this world are stupid, silly, and irrelevent. Thankfully, we have hip cats to point out the absurdity of it all.

When it comes down to it, go by your own sense of right and wrong. Even if you aren't as eloquent, only you know what you believe and why you believe it. The stuff that gets spouted off here doesn't come from people who are any more worthy than you to make decisions. I can't tell you what you should believe -- I only hope you start asking questions.

Now then...

As I said before, I don't blame the farmers who grow the stuff. I blame the entire cycle of drugs -- idiots who squander their lives and their money. Gangs, druglords... Pity them? Help them? How much shall we invest into helping the "sick?" How much do we have to tolerate? Why should we let ourselves get raped by these kinds of people? What is it we owe them?

I've heard lots of reasonable individuals debate that the death penalty should not be outlawed because it costs more money to feed prisoners and keep them healthy and give them books and entertainment. Then I've heard it's more expensive to kill criminals because prisoners have to wait for a long time and there are more trials for some reason and the lethal injection costs lots of money to prepare. And most of the time, so I've heard, the wrong people are killed.

The greater problem it seems to me, is not the killing, but the judicial system. I've seen many fairly decent guys do time and have their whole lives scarred because they made tiny mistakes-- honestly had no idea they were doing something wrong. Often times, the accusors were jerks themselves who just wanted money and/or were backstabbing pricks (I have had several good friends suffer because of this.) Others who go to prison, released after one year, do the same old **** they did before, go back for a year, get released, go back, wash and repeat.

In the end, while we reason this all out with our superior intellect, at a safe distance from it all, puppies and kids in the ghetto get shot, raped, beaten, so controlled by drugs they wake up dead in the gutter.

Eight lanes of shimmering cement running from here to Pasadena. Smooth, safe, fast. Traffic jams will be a thing of the past. I see a place where people get on and off the freeway. On and off, off and on all day, all night! Soon there will be a string of gas stations, inexpensive motels, restaurants that serve rapidly prepared food! Tire salons, automobile dealerships and wonderful, wonderful** billboards reaching as far as the eye can see! My God... It'll be beautiful.
