Okay, I’ve yet to hear or read a clear explanation of the
why – Why, with a capital W – the Why of the following:
One smoke is Evil. It must be stamped from the face of
the earth and never to be spoken of. Children must be shielded from its evil
influence. It must be digitally removed from old classic movies, Soviet-style,
disappeared down the memory hole. Shame! Shame! Shame!
The other smoke is the Summit of all that is Good,
True, and Beautiful. Politicians of all stripes are flailing all over themselves and each other to
legalize this previously illegal drug, for it holds no downside (well, except
that overuse makes the user completed blitheringly stupid). Glory! Glory!
Glory! May it be legal and available in every town and city throughout the land!
I can’t be the only one who’s noticed this
discrepancy. What is the difference? One alters perception a thousandfold times than the other, yet that is the one that’s promoted, not the tamer one. Now, normally
I have a nose for smelling these things out, true agendas and such, but in this
case, I’m truly baffled as to why.
Bueller?
Bueller?
