APRES BASTILLE DAY

"Life ain't Free, you gots to PAY Attention!" sage advice

aloha again, i have stopped bleeding.(see prior blog)

BASTILLE DAY
41 years since i first arrived in KALIfornia.Hurrah!

40 years since the ridiculous WAR ON DRUGS began,HALF A TRILLION DOLLARS WASTED on the Least effective strategy and now drugs are cheaper and stronger than ever!i read a summary of the report that was given Nixon (Tricky Dick) and the best advice was cut off the Demand to curtail the Supply.why do we 'self medicate' more than anyone else on the planet???
what do we lack that our opulent society and mores does not supply?
(fill in the blank...)

had something more i wanted to kvetch about but i've lost it.

in other news,
Gov.Anus Schwarzetenpoufer has a new NO NEW TAXES,KILL THE POOR!website and TV ad digging in his heels on the most recent budget attempt. somebody on talk radio yesterday compared him to a Weathervane or a Pendulum,since you never know where he's heading.I DID NOT VOTE FOR THE MAN AND I HAVE MET SOME WHO DID WHO NOW,FINALLY,REGRET IT...Big Whoop.
"dumb too long,too late smart."

plus my other least favorite politician,for today, WILLIE BROWN was cackling on NPR that if he was still in charge none of this would be happening.a long forgotten UC poli sci prof predicted this whole horrible mess before term limits were put in place. a prophet without honor in his own land...the thing about pessimists is that we are delighted to be proven wrong SIGH but we seldom are.

Nurse Jackie had a tasteful episode on ASSISTED SUICIDE,agree or disagree.? this is a Hot Button issue among the crip community with dread dreams of EUTHANSIA afloat. me, i like it but i'm in CHRONIC PAIN so i'm biased.No?
gotta go, my back is killing me.aloha.

namaste y'all
