Y'know...it is my impression (mis-guided or otherwise) that the people reading the scans would agree and support that 100%. They're only doing their job, one that they probably really need. The guy who did me, once it was clear that I wasn't carrying that dangerous plant substance was the model of "good guy." I'm sure his bosses (and their bosses, and their bosses) are out to get the "monthly pot bust award." Hell, he, himself, probably goes home and gets high.Originally Posted by WØTKX
Besides, you both signed the release forms for the movie... you were NOT of sound mind and body, but you signed.
Rough concept sketch of Freedom Shorts, (clicky to enlarge).
Which gets down to some nitty-gritty. The same kind of nitty-gritty that is still with us from the 60's. The people carrying out the orders of "those on high" are the public face of BS thinking and policies. That is, those who formulate those policies are so totally protected from those upon whome they're stupid policies are forced, that they're pretty much unreachable. They relegate the public interface to people just like us who probably find what they have to do as odious as those of us on whom they're forced to execute them. It used to be that, well, even if that's the case, "pushing back" will work. But, IMHO, not so today. Today I'm completely happy to just let them do their thing...they probably don't really want to...and let whoever picked me be embarrassed that he called it wrong. Political reading seems to say that there's enough of us rank and file grass roots who are really, really, really pissed off about what's going on that this just might be something that is about to come to a head. Well, at least I hope that's not just wishful thinking on the part of yours truly.
