    Misleading title on the decriminalizing drugs, eh?

      The article was kinda pro-bureaucracy. I just thought the whole subject was interesting, since I never heard of them doing it before.

  • It’s amazing how political discourse on social media gets absolutely nowhere … not to say that it isn’t sometimes entertaining but … I wonder if some of these people think they’re Rosa Parks for merely using hashtags and trendy rhetoric?

    Watched that Aristotle video – pretty cool. Although the minimal electronic music and 3D monument caused a little malaise. Felt straight outta the 90s.

    Also … wanted to make a couple comments about some past links. First, glad I found Karen De Coster! Although, she won’t convince me of not eating processed cheese. And … no articles about feminist ice caps this time?

      Karen is pretty cool and is kinda funny in her takedowns. She has little tolerance for stupidity.

      My thoughts exactly on that Aristotle video. 🙂
