“…we can seek recreation!”

It all seems a little ‘mist’ ical to me and adds hope to heavenly imagination.

I also was sent a cool pic today about an island in the south pacific erupting before these people’s very eyes as they were sailing on a yacht.

Wow…we can see creation…I wonder if this newly established island was viewed from outer space.

Now, back to the war on drugs….smile and be happy! (I think we caught the mouse!)

And ‘fire’ that was. The same kind of fire that ended the last ‘social experiment’. The same kind of ‘fire’ needed to roust somnolent pols by being placed under them. The same kind of fire they caused to burn in my soul.

I lost almost everything worth having courtesy of the drug laws of this country, and it took me 4 long, hard years to get some of it back. And I was one of the lucky ones; I wasn’t shot dead in my home as many of those on the Memorial page were. I wasn’t incarcerated and subjected to sodomy and given HIV as a result. But being forced to start over in middle age wasn’t any fun.

What they thought they had done was broken me.

What they actually did to me, and to countless others who’ve become reformers, was create their very own Frankenstein’s Monster. And it’s come back to haunt them, because to paraphrase a line from the Bible, ‘my name is Legion, for we are many’. Their intransigence has created the means for their own destruction.

By doing what they’ve done, they’ve forced tens of thousands of us to grow and develop, to rediscover lost ideals and shamefully buried and forgotten history, to dare to question when they wanted only dumb, blind obedience to unreasoning insanity.

I try very hard not to hate, because all that does is create more pain and suffering in the world…but I do remember. I remember the callousness, the soullessness with which my life and and that of others were destroyed, by those who’d bought into the system for a paycheck (I certainly didn’t ask them to, did you?) and the power those positions they acquired afforded tiny, inferiority-complected egos. Like a real life Milgram experiment, they proved just how far down a purported human being could slide.

But the tide is finally turning, just as it did immediately before alcohol Prohibition ended. The momentum is increasing, as, just as before in the early 1930′s, a ‘perfect storm’ has arrived in the form of a confluence of seemingly unrelated events that are forcing the issue into the public consciousness.

The economy, the wars, the Internet, the Media (that has awakened to the realization that there’s bloody, dripping raw ‘meat’ to chew on regarding the drug laws), principled pols in Congress and the Senate who’ve bided their time for just this moment are acting (Reps Dr. Ron Paul and Barney Frank and Senator Jim Webb come to mind immediately). All that and more are causing the issue to get the attention it long deserved but was denied. An attention that those who’ve benefited so handsomely from the DrugWar never wanted to have focused upon them.

The days of drug prohibition are numbered, It only remains to be seen how it expires…with a bang or a whimper.

Keep hitting that sore spot.

It must feel wonderful getting this out of your system. It felt good just listening.

thanks
