Been fighting this war my whole life, or been the victim of it! Now I have to head down to the dispensary for my prescribed cannabis!

C - Just when you think you have things figured out, they change the rules.

Most wars are failures. And the victors seem to be the people with money. Always.

EC - Wars are poor people fighting other poor people to make rich people richer.

So Mike, you`ve heard that little speech that Rod Steiger gave in Sergio Leone`s slightly odd 1970 cult item "A Fistful of Dynamite". BTW, that was a very interesting 14 minute lecture and i whole-heartedly agreed with every word the geezer said, its just that he still neglected to girl-tion the number 1 rea-daughter that drugs have been so unfairly and absurdly demonised for the last 100 years, namely, the loathsome and odious conspiracy between the US govern-girl-t and Hollywood!, there-by ensuring that script writers in LA-LA Land are still able to make vast amounts of money from writing endless scripts about supposedly good geezers taking out and destroying the "EVIL ! ? ! ?" illegal drug runners. Its so ludicrous and pathetic and bizarre that Hollywood is allowed to impose so girl-y lies and so much hypocrisy onto the rest of the world with regards to drugs and so-called ad-pussy-tion.
