I Have read the rules. I,ve had something on my mind that alot of people in my position are thinking about. The war .My position is a family member in the military,in my case my wife. I dread going to the mailbox each day ,afraid that there will be one of those letters telling her to report to ? Fear of what might happen, the unknown. Fear of after all these years maybe losing her to a war of lies. Maybe if our polititions like Bush and his cronies had there wives or daughters there they would know this fear. You see they can protect their familys by their ability to say who goes an who stays [Like Bush did for son Bush jr.] Fear is on my mind and on the minds of thousands of others whos family members are in danger and know the helplessness of not being able to protect them from stupidity.

i am enraged about the actions taken by both american, and canadian governments in the last few years.
with marc emery, steve kubby, Shapiro, pierre, and all the other busts happening latley, it is fucking bull shit! they are wasting, mine, and others tax payers money to punish the sick and dying!
it is messed up because the people the bust for pot arnt the dealers, and the gangsters, but the medical people who need it, and help others who need it. the bust the people who could help us get it legalized! this way they can keep making pouintless arrests that cost them more money than they actually make off of it!
i honestly dont see how people can be so blind not to see that this is a war against our own people. not a war to help us out.

Patriarchal society is disfunctional and at the root of this disfunction is the nuclear family. In a nuclear family situation, it is the women and children who can suffer the most. The alpha male of a family is the ruler; he may be a benign ruler, or a vicious tyrant. But he rules over all in his tiny domain. "A man's home is his castle" echoes this. Equal partnerships are rare.
In matriarchies, the clan is the norm. Women benefit from a clan situation. Work is divided or shared. How many times must a floor be swept in a day? Cooking for a dozen is not much harder than for four. A bad day? Cousin Jane will keep the kids busy. When there is marital strife, women will band together to prevent any abuse. No man wants to face a half dozen angry women!
In ancient history, many societies were matriarchal. Catal Hoyuk is a good example. The town was peaceful. Only rarely do the bones of it's inhabitants show signs of violence. Weapons seem to be utilitarian or for hunting. In 800 years of settlement, no sign of war and no city walls. Art was everywhere- even the walls had murals.
Matriarchal societies still exist. There are the Musuo of China and Peggy Sanday has done some good studies of the Minangkabau. In them, we see cooperation, not competition. Art is glorified, not armies. Peace is a way of life. Matriarchy is not "patriarchy in skirts" There are fundamental differences its basic outlooks and morals. As a glaring example- Dr. Sanday stated that the only "recent", in-tribe Minangkabau rape happened about 20 years ago. Rape is simply unthinkable. We need to swing over to a more martrifocal approach to our society. I don't see how women could f**k things up as badly as our patriarchal system already has! It's hard to send a child, that you have carried under your heart for 9 months, to war. And think of "womanly" qualities--they are the same as civilized qualities.
Even one of the arguments against cannabis, our sacred, medicinal herb, is that it made men non-agressive. Patriarchal society thrives on agression- just read a newspaper. Cannabis threatens patriarchal attitudes. "Suppose they give a war, and nobody comes!" A song of pot smoking hippies. Patriarchal society fears cannabis because it is the herb of peace.
Martiarchies tend to be peaceful, art loving, egalitarian, nurturing and extended family-based. We could do much worse.... wait a minute.... we ARE doing much worse! What a surprise!

Really, I don’t have much on my mind. I wonder things like what I want to eat, who do I want to sleep with tonight, should I cook a meal, is it time to change my shirt, I wonder what she’ll say, I hope I did well on my exam, I knew I should have studied harder, I haven’t posted at TY in a few days, what ever happened to Iggy, is my cell phone under warranty, why hasn’t it been charging properly, is it because the battery is low my boss hasn’t called me back, why havn’t I been paid for the last 4 weeks, why don’t I have any hours for the next two weeks, have I been fired and not know of it yet, I have a report due next Monday – should I still do it, if I do it and don’t have a job it would suck, if I don’t do it and loose my job because it was the last straw – that would suck as well, am I doing what is right in life, what if my definition of right is wrong, how do I know I am in the right religion, I feel most comfortable the way I am – so it must be right, but what if feeling right is wrong, I wish I had more brownies, I also wish I had more Jim Beam, Friday night was fun, Is the DMV open tomorrow, If it is I wonder how long it takes for the bus to get there, It is a nice day outside – I want to play wiffle ball, but the park is far away, I should first eat, but then it might get late and the sun will go down, decisions, decisions, well – I wrote this much, but I forgot to read the rules this time, I read the rules last time, can I say I read the rules again, I have read the rules, I hope that works, I should prepare a smoke, 4:20 is only 40 minutes away, should I wait, First I should post this.. I wonder how many words I have – 354.

That was a moment in my Mind.

Edit: Changed Waffle Ball to Wiffle Ball, I had spelled it wrong to begin with.

This would be mainly for Americans. Americans need to wake up and smell the coffee and no not Starbucks... Our president is slowly destroying our nation in front of our eyes and we do nothing about it. In fact we encourage him by not taking a stand for our rights. For example George W. Bush just took money out of College Financial Aid to pay for his debts, that he has caused the nation. He’s taking away from our children for his mistakes. He asked for roughly 13 BILLION; let me repeat 13 BILLION Dollars! Luckily Congress only granted him 3 Billion (which is ridiculous to begin with) our country is slowly reducing our country into a totalitarian country which we have no control over. We get the impression that we are “free”. Well, my children may not be able to go to school if I don’t have a decent job and saved up enough cash.
Speaking of jobs, Bush again is destroying our economy by cutting out jobs. He has allowed outsourcing for long enough, its time to take care of our own people and to create government programs to give people jobs again! Why is it that we have all this money to dump into other nations but not our own? A perfect example is Hurricane Katrina. Bush said it was his fault that aid wasn’t sent. Well good for him finally admitting a mistake, it doesn’t justify why they haven’t received more federal aid. The point is the mass media has brain washed most of the American citizens into just letting things slide. Well I can tell you this; this country is loosing a valuable citizen once I have the chance. I would encourage everyone to start reading the government published documents which states everything the federal government would like to do. The news doesn’t help because they cover what they want. A perfect example is did any Americans know that a woman ran for president last election? No? That’s funny maybe it’s because the media didn’t want to cover it since we live in a society which promotes ideas of patriarchy. I’m disgusted to say I live in the country of the free, because after all we aren’t free anymore.

I have become an old man now, and that means that I speak with wisdom; for if I were foolish, how could I have lived to be this old in this insane society? I wish to speak of "medicinal marijuana" and its benefits.
Now, unless you are a Rastafarian, hemp is not a holy herb. It is a medicine plant, however. Now the wasichu (this is an old name for the Europeans, and it means "takes all the fat", for that is what they do to all the Earth, and to all of us as well) do not like the thought of each person growing his own medicine, for how would they take money from you for the medicine you must have if they did not make it?
Big pharmaceutical companies make medicine that does some of the same things as hemp, but they are often harmful because they were not concieved and made in a sacred manner. But if they can outlaw all the medicine plants, they can then sell their bad medicine to us and we will have no choice but to use it.
The outlawing of hemp began with a talk between Mr. Dupont, who made nylon, and the secretary of the interior. No one knows what was said, but right afterward, hemp was outlawed; hemp which had produced rope and sailcloth and heavy tarps for the navy--which from then on had to use nylon.
Hemp also is good for pain(I should know, because age hurts sometimes), so it cuts into pain medicine profits. This how the wasichu do things; they force everyone to do their will by law, which ultimately means by force. We must change this.
The way to change this is to make it clear, through letters and by your vote, that the people will no lomger put up with being made to suffer for the profit of the already wealthy. The wasichu will heed this; they need votes to have any power, and power to get their profits. When a chief does not care for his people, they will no longer follow him; it has always been so.
I have spoken.

Pot karma is my topic. Very simple subject and you all know what I am talking about. When you harverst, give some to a sick person who cannot grow. When you have seeds, share with someone who wants to grow. We have to become the underground railroad for this herb. Greed is evil. It flows into everything. Be stong. Continue to share what has been given to you. Share your herb, seeds, knowledge. We are the modern medicine man.
Share your herb with the sick. TY is about this. Protect us and remove anyone who comes in for greed or wants to hurt us. Protect the modern medicine wo/man who gives to the sick.

I am God, supreme creator of all the Universe. I am speaking directly to you and only to you. Listen to what I have to say! All that you can possibly wish for and more will come true if you do exactly as I say: Take off your earthly clothes and run through your earthly streets flapping your earthly arms and screaming "I'm an albatros. I'm an albatros" for half an earthly hour and await further instruction...

I would like the world to know that war and hate are things that need to be done away with in order to maintain peace.MJ is a good thing and every one should be growing it to save our forests and relieve sickness and suffering,Every week I must throw about five pounds of paper in the garbage.Advertiseing Stoor flyers and requests for charity.I think if these people used hemp paper it would be a great saveing on lumber there by saveing our forests and providing us with the oxygin that we are slowley running out of.Burning of the rain forests and nature caused fires do enough distruction with out all the clear cutting that is going on Just to make paper mills welthy.I realy am sick of the waste of our trees when hemp can produce more paper and keep on makeing it every year.A tree takes about sixty years to grow but hemp can be grown every year.Don.t pay the farmers not to grow wheat let them plant the praries with hemp amd MMJ instead.

stop to do shit and start to study, start to work,

and be grateful and thank everyday.

unconditional love

[coco_artist]

I dream of a World in which there is no hunger
There is no war and no strife
Love is all that there is
Living in harmony with Nature
No longer polluting the land
Growing Hemp and Marijuana throughout the continent
Co-operating with the Universe.
Fear would not longer exist as there would be nothing to fear
And each day would be like childhood all over again
Everyone, family and friends; there would be no 'strangers'
No more illness, tears, or injustice
Animals would be treated with reverance and respect
And the elderly would be seen as wise once again
Children would belong amongst all of us
They would be safe to go anywhere they wanted
There would be no money
It would not be needed.
Hemp would save the Planet.

HEY YOU!!! Yes you… the person sitting there watching this television… What if I told you that there are two words that could solve the world’s problems, two words that could change how the world works, two words that should have been put into action long ago? These two words will change everything if you can sit there and listen for a few seconds…

How would you like to end your National Debt? How about reducing domestic abuse, traffic accident/fatalities, and crime in general? How would you like to see the governments focusing their resources on helping the people instead of fighting them? Wouldn’t you like to see more products being produced in your own country to promote jobs and a strong economy..?

We can accomplish all this and SO MUCH MORE if you can just execute these two words, Legalize Marijuana. That’s right… Legalize Marijuana… NOW WAIT… don’t touch that controller… just look who has things to say about marijuana…

“When I was in England, I experimented with marijuana a time or two…” –Bill Clinton

John Warnecke also says that “Gore used marijuana regularly for at least four years after the Vice-President claims to have stopped”

And the US President G.W. Bush had something to say in his round about way… "I wouldn't answer the marijuana questions. You know why? Because I don't want some little kid doing what I tried."

Now lets look at just a few of the benefits of Marijuana and the things it does for us…


Hemp Seed Oil is Complete Protein and one of the healthiest oils for cooking and health.

Hemp Paper is cleaner to make, saves trees and hey the US used if for the Constitution

Hemp seeds as an ethanol fuel burns cleaner and promotes a cleaner atmosphere

Hemp Oil can be used to make ink, paint and varnishes…

Hemp fiber is the longest and strongest plant fiber… making for great ropes, clothes, shoes, or canvas…

Hemp hurds (inner fiber) mixed with limestone and water produce a substance lighter than concrete but six times stronger!

Hemp pressboard is stronger and superior and quality…

Medical Marijuana provides relief to millions of people that could not have it any other way…

AND SO MUCH MORE!!!!!

SO COME ON LET’S DO IT!! Let’s change the world with two wonderful words; LEGALIZE MARIJUANA!! [/I]

I choose medical marajuana over prescription meds after years of doctors trying different meds that were very hard on my body. They never seem to think as to how the meds are going to affect you, try this one, try that one. And even though they aren't for your head they can sure effect it in some strange ways. Or another favorite, "it's all in your head". I don't have any of the terrible side effects with med marajuana that I did with prescription meds.

Dear Earthlings,
Freedom or Free Will is our greatest God Given Gift. Our ancestors were greatly aware of this and fought to the death to preserve it. No matter how great the oppression, history has shown it stands little hope against Mankind and our fundemental right to freedom.
However, Today brings new challenges never before faced by Man, Technology. Technology poses the capabilities to enslave and control the people of this planet like no way before, and at the same time, distract us from even knowing of the cage being put around us. The people of today are very different to the people of 60 years ago....and not for the better.
We have been taught that we live in a "Free" democracy. That our leaders are voted in, and in doing so will look out for our best interests. This has been drummed into us for so long, that the government has built an image of unquestionable right to govern. We must realise this is false.


I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachment of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations. - James Madison
