Immortal Keith Richards says drugs are alright, anti-drug groups collectively flip out. :)</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Hey Sine did you hear that? That means if you if ever develop a script that makes you millions don't say that! :)</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>And now here's some more infinite wisdom from Bill Hicks:

<i>"Drugs have done good things for us. 'What do you mean, Bill?' Well, if you don't believe drugs have done good things for us, do me a favor, then. Go home tonight, take all your albums, your tapes, and your CDs, and burn 'em. Because, you know what? The musicians who made that great music that has enhanced your lives throughout the years: real fuckin' high on drugs." The Beatles: "They were real high, they wrote great music: drugs had a positive effect" (RV). Keith Richards: "You never hear the Surgeon General mention Keith, do you? Oh -- a little hole in the theory there!" The crime of the War on Drugs was that it churned out mystifying propaganda while burying points of view that were valid, however thorny: "Keith Richards is shooting heroin into his eyeball, and is still touring. All right? I'm getting mixed signals" (D). Thus, no matter its ends, the corrupt means of the campaign were suppression and disinformation at the expense of knowledge and experience: "The extent of our drug education is a slogan. 'Just Say No' -- that's our drug education. To me, 'Just Say No' is very closed-minded -- the opposite of open-minded, the opposite of learning. See, all my friends, and myself -- we Just Said Yes, and I guarantee you, we learned a whole bunch about drugs." Not a popular admission -- sorry -- but it was the truth. Moreover, it enabled a perception that might credibly challenge the status quo: "Why is the drug czar of this country a cop? Why isn't he instead someone who's been through recovery, who has had an alcohol and/or drug addiction and overcome it?... Putting sick people in jail -- does that make sense?"</i></div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>Ultimately, the message is that if Keith Richards can do THAT MUCH DRUGS and still live, then maybe doing a little bit of drugs isn't as life-threatening as the government makes it out to be. Shit, they are probably still showing those videos about how one can of beer can cause a fatal car accident.

The government has waaaay too much of a black and white view of things when it comes to sending a message, mostly because the public is too fucking stupid to interpret a message with two conflicting themes. Unforunately, since the public WANTS less responsibility with themselves, their lives, and their bodies, the government will continue to lead them around like little sheep and sic the sheepdog on anybody that strays from the path. "Shut up! Go back to bed, America. Your government is in control. Here's Love Connection. Watch this and get fat and stupid. By the way, keep drinking beer, you fucking morons!"</div>
