What do you think of mass texting? I think its okay but maybe I just need to get cracking on networking in other ways, and maybe drop prices a tad. I’m trying to find me a “stunner” but its hard around here. Everyone like that already has 30 ppl they can go to who have stuff which they readily admit isn’t better, but they pay less for it and can push it for just as much as they could push mine for. Everyone is already, in the author’s words, a seasoned vet who only wants the best deals. Variety might help a little there, huh.

Great article btw. It started out too beginner and I thought I wouldn’t learn anything, but you caused me to reconsider doing dirt where I dwell. I decided to do everything on foot again for sure. I don’t know why I ever changed. Convenience I guess. I actually learned a lot and took some notes. Its amazing how much you don’t know about something you do every day. You just think its common sense business till something like this article. For example, the parking lots thing. I never really thought twice about it, but ya there are cameras all over some parking lots where I used to meet people when I was much younger, living elsewhere. And the reminder to save for the bad times is key, no matter how good you are with money. And the stuff about people’s patterns as far as who they go to – I just never took the time to really think about that or about a lot of the stuff mentioned. I guess I just never attached real significance to this shit because I’m always thinking of it as secondary to whatever else I’m doing…and it is right for it to be secondary to me. But I’ve started to realize how much shit is suffering from me not being totally on point.
I’m not really a fan of rap music, but I heard a small line from lil Wayne recently that I’ve been applying to everything in life: “you ain’t on this grind for nothin, so get ur hustle up.” Translation: You didn’t start doing whatever you’re doing just so that you can barely scrape by – there was obviously some aspiration there or you wouldn’t have started. So stop draggin ass and start bustin your ass. That’s what made me seek out this article. I realized I better “get my hustle up” (LOL).

Pragmatic libertarians (minimal-statists) and “true” Conservatives agree that many, if not most, of society’s problems are caused by government usurping choices that could better be made by individuals themselves, and that government is just about the worst way of doing almost anything. Where libertarianism normally parts company with “fake” conservatism is over moral issues. But a true conservative would have no problem with agreeing that what people do with their own bodies, and especially in the privacy of their own home, should be supremely their business and that anything else would entail ignoring the basic tenet of limited government.

Fake-Conservatism on the other hand has much in common with socialism – Socialists (leftists) and Fake-Conservatives appear to harbor the belief that nature does not exist and that any human can be “re-educated” into being anything society wishes. Leftists therefore tend to believe that little boys can be conditioned into preferring dolls over toy soldiers, and similarly, Fake-conservatives believe that adults can be coerced into choosing alcohol over marijuana. A true conservative, just like a pragmatic libertarian, would immediately reject both ideas as nonsense.

If you support prohibition then you are NOT a conservative.
Conservative principles QUITE CLEARLY ARE:

1) Limited, locally controlled government.
2) Individual liberty coupled with personal responsibility.
3) Free enterprise.
4) A strong national defense.
5) Fiscal responsibility.

Prohibition is actually an authoritarian War On The Economy, Constitution and All Civic Institutions of our once great nation.

This reasoning seems to make no sense to others who point out that the only way the violence will stop is to take away the money incentive. They say that the end of prohibition would end the violence. They also point out that Marijuana is far less harmful to the individual user than alcohol.

Both of these points of view are understandable.

*Raw Footage* Elders Arrested By NYPD in Harlem Jan. 5, 2012

S&F is a crime against humanity, God says. Every single Brownsville cop is going to hell, I deduce.
Do Black and Brown children of this city deserve no more than criminalization and ridicule? How many unarmed kids did the NYPD kill this week?
Oink Bloomberg, oink Kelly. If you murder an unarmed youth in the bathroom of his home in front of his grandmother and his little sister, because he had five bucks worth of pot on him, you should expect anger. You should expect to be called a pig and run out of town. You’re a pig, get out, may God smite you down, Amen. The NYPD’s problem is that it’s being run like a corporation. Corporations are not good at keeping youth safe.
Kelly is a warmonger and a businessman. Our complacency is a testament to the totality of his police state: indeed our complacency is the goal of the open-air prisons he’s made of marginalized neighborhoods.
We want our goddamn streets back. We should be moving into an era in which the cops do less. Instead, they are doing more and more. Collectively and peacefully we gotta stand up. We all have cameras – there’s no logical reason we can’t cop-watch this cop problem away. Cameras on.
Film the NYPD saying, “I’m just doing my job.” We’re creating an online museum of the New Jim Crow. We will shame these thugs in perpetuity. Their grandchildren will know what they did for a living. Their great-grandchildren will know.
NYPD is profiting from the pain and suffering of People of Color. The crime rate, we are to believe, is down. Oink oink bang bang, every day the same old thang: UF-250, UF-250, UF-250, repeat…

Often missed is the fact that Dreher’s study found marijuana smoking mothers bore developmentally SUPERIOR babies.

The study tested 24 Jamaican newborns exposed to marijuana prenatally and 20 nonexposed babies from socioeconomically matched mothers. At one month, the children of marijuana-using mothers scored markedly higher on autonomic stability, reflexes, and general irritability. Babies born to the heaviest smokers, those who smoked every day, at least 21 joints weekly, scored significantly higher in 10 of the 14 characteristics measured, including quality of alertness, robustness, regulatory capacity, and orientation.

No ill effects from marijuana were found. Nineteen of the 24 Jamaican mothers reported that cannabis increased their appetites throughout the prenatal period and/or relieved the nausea of pregnancy. Fifteen reported using it to relieve fatigue and provide rest during pregnancy.
