I got a really good picture this morning of something. Let me just say, before I begin here, that this post is directed at some small town folk in a certain small town in Kansas, and you all know exactly who you are. What's in this picture isn't earthshaking, but it would be a really good reason for a small town with only a few original families and relatives thereof to become defensive when someone who insists upon abiding by the law moves in. No kidding, look what I found:
One Toke Over The Line, Sweet Jesus
Now; I just published a rather nasty comment under another post that accuses me of attempting to somehow "push" my views on you guys. Since this picture was taken from the sidewalk, of the flora in one of your front lawns, I have to conclude that what you really mean is that I am attempting to push law abiding lifestyles on you. How terrible that must be!
This would not be such a big deal, except for the fact that you preach something else. Most of you go to church, and openly discrimate against those who don't, or who are not Christian. Understand, in Yeshua's native stomping grounds, marijuana was not unlawful. If he was ever really existant, he probably had no problem with it. He was, after all, the one who allegedly turned the water into wine at a wedding. Could he legally do that around here? But you guys all hated Mexicans enough to go ahead and lobby your senators and congressmen to outlaw marijuana back in 1937, so now, it can't grow in your yards while you call yourselves law abiding citizens and preach church stuff to my kids in school. If you don't believe me, do some research on it. Also, read the bible, and at one point in the Psalms, you'll find something that says, "praise God and honor the king". If you grow pot in your yard, you are not "honoring the king".
What I would push here, if I pushed anything, is not my personal views or feelings, but an encouragement to lobby law makers in Kansas to legalize marijuana, if you really want to grow it. You could also join NORML. After all, people drink all the time, and alcohol is just as much of a "drug" as marijuana, possibly more of one, and no one really bats an eyelash when someone drinks a beer. But don't teach your children to be hypocrites and liars. Also, if marijuana was legal, the government could tax it, and all of those people who make money from black market contraband would find themselves having to get real employment, but that's another post. No; I do not have any more use for marijuana personally than I do for beer, wine, or liquor. While I do NOT drink, I do not condemn anyone who does. But then, I am not trying to push my lifestyle on anyone....................
The comment I published containing the foul language also referred to the school. This person does not want me to attend school functions. Well guess what! I have six children! They all love it when I go to school functions. They enjoy support, and I give it to them. If that somehow intereferes with your ability to take bong hits behind the school or sell weed to kids, too bad! If I ever see anything that even remotely reminds me of booze or any other illicit chemical means of maintaining one's personality there, I will be the first to inform the administrative presence in charge at the time. I don't care what your little "small town traditions" are that you so desperately wanna protect; if you want the laws changed to accomodate something you want to do, then go about it the right way, and lobby congress and write letters to Brownback. But don't run the risk of getting children into trouble they are barely old enough to comprehend.
