THE AMERICAN IDIOT

  1. Sure does M. Good video. Hearing James Spader's voice giving one of his excellent closing argument made me really miss Boston Legal. It is one of my all time favorite intelligently written, funny & well acted shows of all time. It was a show with a conscience that invited you to THINK.

  2. With most Americans believing fat, sugar, salt, weed and beer are the five food groups....it's amazing we have anything left to steal.

  3. Laudyms, great video and a good find, thanks. It gets it right, the people have lost contact with reality. They are so misinformed they cannot form sensible conclusions on any vital topics, and end up serving the man through replication of his stupid ideologies. The most obvious thing is if the public are still working at Just Over Broke they are much closer to resolution and absolute truth than they were ten years ago when they still had a viable nation. The cycle of nations is said to go through suffering to reach awakening (not the green shoots bounce oh no). 85% were still happy two years ago according to polls so they are only in the early stages of the national cycle's recurve.
    The financial vortex we are in is tightening and will take down most of what we saw in the video, sooner than most expect, due to systemic collapse. It sucks, still in its early slow rotation, spinning round and round looking in at the hollow center.
    But hey friend, why demonize weed along with booze and junk food as the reason Happy Motoring lost its hubcaps? God's weed never killed anyone. Weed's not even toxic. Weed saved the Australians from starvation twice in the nineteenth century. Most pundits today live in a world devoid of the typical weed products and medicines of yore, lacking freedom even in their own minds, but they are coming back just about in synch with major truth breakthroughs on other fronts.
    After 1937 the government said weed caused violence among immigrants, then it reversed and said it caused inertia plus scary Negro jazz, then it said weed caused brain damage, although THC is today used for stroke treatment, and I guess now someone says it's causing the fat guy on the bed swigging beer to stay there in la la land. If weed really did that the Jamaican banana farmers would probably have starved a long time ago. It's the booze, believe me, not the weed, keeping couchman so buff.
    Check out the recent film, "The Union" to understand the financial issues of weed, the prisons and the police state, before making false accusations, one COTO to another, brother/sisters, one to the one, for troot.

  4. Mary,

    I grew-up in Florida during the smuggling hay-day. I could have been in the documentary, The Union.

    Gold - Oil - Land - Drugs

    It's all they crave. It's what they send us to fight wars for. Of all the wars fought since time began I doubt you could count on one hand the number of so-called "noble" wars.

    It's all about G.O.L.D.

  5. Mary,

    Do you think that the medical value of Marijuana has already been tampered with and that the GMO industry is not all over the medical benefits and eliminating those like they have corn, soybean and rice?

    Thanks Laudy for the video that should run on TV a hundred tmes per day.

    ...a parallel sustainable economy in BC. It's called "The Union." Could/should be done with anything.

  8. Sorry- I know all about weed's plus side, was just in the thalls of writing a snappy blurb.

    The only bad thing about weed is that it often keeps people talking about what should be done instead of getting up and doing it. But on the plus side it also takes some of the personal conflict out of doing and makes it feel like a party.
