AqueousChemist - I see one of the three John English supporters are here, so for the FOURTH time I issue this challenge: Though nothing smoked is harmless, enlighten me as to what makes cannabis so dangerous? We know it isn't the THC as that is a schedule III substance. So what chemical(s) are lurking in cannabis that makes it so dangerous? Better yet, what in cannabis is more harmful than the isotopes of uranium-238 found in tobacco?
Along with others, the above reader, calling himself “Aqueous Chemist”, comments obsessively on the articles in my column, asking ‘what it is that is so dangerous?’ He states that cannabis is not dangerous because it’s allowed - - - stating that it’s a level III substance.
That, is not true!
THC is still a Schedule I drug and prohibited by Federal law! It’s NOT (as he claims) a Schedule III drug. Take a look; once there, scroll down to find: Tetrahydrocannabinols 7370 N THC, Delta-8 THC, Delta-9 THC and others. Subsequent levels of scheduled drugs are below that!
He also asks over and over again, "what is so dangerous about the weed?"’ Like most users, he cannot see what it’s doing to himself and his loved ones; that’s part of the pernicious aspect of using marijuana.
Short term memory loss, maybe? Evidently, he thinks the dramatization in the movie “Reefer Madness” is not real. That movie, was not made by the government; it was “dramatized” by Hollywood and made to seem like going crazy was an immediate danger. It’s not like that; it happens over time, to many users, not all, but too many!
He thinks that it won’t happen to him at all, but the hedonistic, immature and irresponsible seeker of highs, cannot see the subtle steps into drug use and that users sometimes grow up and somehow quit, normally they grow old and damage their mental acuity, or push the envelope and die prematurely.
Don’t forget; marijuana supposedly was meant to be only for the compassionate use of those dying, or living in so much pain they couldn’t manage their life without it! Keep that in perspective while you read the following.
The Medical Marijuana Scam
Today, let’s address some of the cat crap in the sandbox of American society. This column won’t be a running battle with the users; that’s NOT why I write; the reason is mostly for the upright citizens of Portland, not its’ users.
We need to understand, first, how we came to get mired in this swamp of confusion, second – the why of it, and third, where we’re headed if we don’t wake up, and finally, … in another article, we’ll address what can done about it!
First, it was lies – misinformation. The American public has been scammed, … intentionally! Don’t forget; this drug user’s constant harping on his obsession,… it’s all about: his “right” to use pot recreation ally!
To make my point, let’s begin by looking at the historical sequence … first, watch how Richard Cowan lays out the plan to legalize ALL drugs. Sitting on a church’s choir bleachers? … he’s speaking to a group of users . . . but, note: he explains that they’re starting with legalizing marijuana, first, see: Richard Cowan’s statement.
Cowan explained the concept, it was accepted and put into motion, High Times and other publications put out the call to marijuana users to come forward and beg for compassion …. from the government, using the American public as an audience, for manipulation purposes.
The legalizers made their presentations, (feigning desperate need) and demanded to be able to smoke their “medicine.” As the public heard the pleas, from so many, seeming to suffer pathetically, … from all sorts of maladies, and that their “condition” would be helped by smoking marijuana, (as anticipated) the public began to have compassion agreeing, ‘why shouldn’t people be able to use a substance if they were dying anyway?’
The people bought it and therefore, we were all scammed and California’s proposition 215 was the outcome, which has taken us deeper into this whole mess.
During the hearings, users said they’d ‘heard pot helped it, and they’d then tried it . . . and sure enough found that those people were right, it was medicinal …. Plus, that they found that it helped more than the pharmaceutical drugs they’d been taking, and if the state had compassion they’d at least, allow them to die with less pain …. Yada, yada, yada.
The public, only finds out later, through a survey, that the average time the medical marijuana cardholder was using pot before applying for their card was 17 years!
That belies the whole scam but overturning this law, is not an easy thing; most people just want to be able to take care of their daily lives, and not have to dive into the politics of it all – that’s what Representative Democracy is all about! The philosophy is, ‘let the knowledgeable people take care of it.’ Besides, there is so much mis-information out there regarding this issue (intentionally) the people don’t know who to believe any longer.
You see, their plan was, as Cowan said, ‘once marijuana was “thought of, as medicinal, they’d get it authorized’ and he explained further, ‘once the camel’s nose was under the tent, pot use would be allowed for just about anything.’
And that’s what it’s come to be, . . . in Ca., Or., Wa. anyway, and now in 10 other states. They’d laid out a game plan and followed it to the letter. Now, the goal is to get the scam accepted across the whole nation, state by state! There’s a deep-pockets-cartel funding them and next, (as they stated) comes legalization of all drugs. Portland, is that what you want?
Users make bad decision. Because of the bad decisions, users violate the laws and contribute to every social ill of the land. Users put others at risk. Users try to get others to be like them, sucking them into the lost world of criminality, life without hope, disability and prison.
They believe all this justifies what they do. It doesn’t! The lengths to which they’ll go, the lies they’ll tell to get their own way, is pathetic! The society they’re attacking is ours; and they want our children, to be like them! Don’t forget that! Protect your children at all costs! Like it or not, just like the narco-terrorists they purchase their drugs from, they are at war with us . . . . and kids push the envelope; it’s part of growing up and breaking away!
Comments
Finally!!! Alright John! Lets get this thing stirred up a bit. I hope you don't respond just this once. I want to see if you can hold your own against a guy like Aqueous Chemist who seems pretty smart tome, who has come in here repeatedly with "peer reviewed" science;(That is science that is read by other scientists by the way) and some very fine challenges to you. At any rate, I will finally be checking in with a little bit of excitement to see what happens.
Good job John, don't just do it once though. Keep it up man. It is the only thing offering your column any compelling reason to check in at all.
...and why in the name of the sweet infant savior in a car-seat, are you putting up that picture of that tragic meth-head. Isn't today's article about medicinal marijuana? What does meth use have to do with what you are calling "the myth of medical marijuana". This isn't all that much different than your maniacal twisting of logic in your post a couple of days ago with that hand coming out of a cage...as though that was a marijuana user.
The whole thing is a pathetic fail.
Hang it up, John. Your one trick Pony died several months ago.
John, thats one comment you responded to with a picture of meth... WT-F is wrong with you?
John, lets go back to when marijuana was put into that schedule 1 drug class. It was put there because of lies. Not because it was dangerous.
This is by far one of the worst articles of B.S. you have put out.
He's obviously a graduate of the Jerry Springer school of journalism.
Are you for real ?
(Evidently, he thinks the dramatization in the movie “Reefer Madness” is not real. That movie, was not made by the government; it was “dramatized” by Hollywood and made to seem like going crazy was an immediate danger. It’s not like that; it happens over time, to many users, not all, but too many)..........LOL
Make a correction to your article. THC is also found in the schedule 3 drug list.
Dronabinol in sesame oil in soft gelatin capsule 7369 N Marinol, synthetic THC in sesame oil/soft gelatin
So basically if we pay the pharmaceutical companies about $30.00 a pill we can legally get THC. For the price of 1 pill I can get half a weeks supply of pot. Do the math. How do you think a suffering aids/cancer paitient is supposed to afford his treatment?
Your a real piece of sh1t John.

Bob, your an idiot...
It was funded by a crazy church group. I suppose smoking pot also causes rape and murder just as the film depicts.
Reefer Madness (aka Tell Your Children) is a 1936 exploitation film revolving around the tragic events that ensue when high school students are lured by pushers to try "marihuana": a hit and run accident, manslaughter, suicide, rape, and descent into madness all ensue. The film was directed by Louis Gasnier and starred a cast composed of mostly unknown bit actors. It was originally financed by a church group and made under the title Tell Your Children.[1][2]
Liar.....john English you really need to get your head out of the feds arse and see what your really doing. One day youll have to live with yourself or at least will have to account for it to your maker which from the looks of it (your age) wont be to long. So, keep spouting the lies and we will continue to address each and every one till your no longer on this earth. The day of reform is almost here and there is nothing you can do about it.
You sir, are an idiot. Lets do a little bit more research before writing another bias article such as this one, yes? Are you in-cahoots with our "free, but not really" government? Take a look at the "CRS: Medical Marijuana: Review and Analysis of Federal and State Policies" and then tell me how dangerous marijuana is, and that was released by Congress.
Sorry Bob just notices u quoated the goat.
Cannabis or the slang Marijuana has safely and effectively been used medically and recreationally since 2007 B.C. The extremely safe and therapeutic qualities that existed in the Marijuana plant up to 1937 when it was made illegal, are by all logic still there and still safe and therapeutic. Over 50% of all 'Over The Counter' meds prior to 1942 contained cannabis. Against the wishes of the AMA Marijuana was placed in Schedule I in 1942. Marijuana Prohibition never had anything to do with scientific or medical facts. It had to do with racial prejudices first against the Mexicans then blacks and Hispanic and finally white people. The fact is marijuana is a soft and therapeutic drug. Medically speaking the therapeutic qualities of smoking marijuana far outweigh any risks associated with it. You had better get it right or get out.
BTW John - Someone else pointed out recently that when you use the word "druggie" you lose credibility. (Not an area where you have a mighty surplus right now John). Druggie is defined as slang in the dictionary. It means you can't even use it in a Scrabble game.
When I went to court to testify against the junkie that shoved a gun in my face and robbed me, the prosucuting attorney told me not to use language like that in court...to include junkie, druggie, meth-head etc.
You are just kind of a goofy old man dude. Whey dont you just enjoy your retirement? Your tired crusade is laughable to any serious perosn.
"There’s a deep-pockets-cartel funding them and next, (as they stated) comes legalization of all drugs."
No John the drug cartel loves prohibition. They are getting 20 billion a year off of it.
If prohibition ended they would lose their income. Most of my dealer friends are fine with the war on drugs the way it is as well. If drugs were to become legal they too would have to find a new source of income.
The drug war is only funding the criminals. We legalize and tax it and now that money goes into our own economies.
Wow.. I stumbled upon this page and can't stop laughing. I'm not trying to spam by submitting more then one comment but had to comment with more room then allowed.. First of all, what does meth have to do with Marijuana?? That's just like saying apples are oranges, they're both fruit, even though the have different benefits and chemical make up. But any intelligent person would be able to comprehend that small detail. Instead of talking out your arse how about doing some research (on your own not the papers you receive and told to preach about) about the dangers of Alcohol and Tobacco. Then write another article comparing the 3 drugs (yes all 3 alter the mind). Anyone that listens to you and takes your word for it, I pity their stupidity. Senile old men like yourself have gotten us into the mess we are in today with your views on how America should be. It's no wonder why the elderly are treated the way they are..
This guy ticks me off so badly that I finally wrote the paper to complain. I know it probably wont do much good but if we cant trust the information comming from our "news sources" then what good are they? When a paper allows such known misinformation to exist in their publication, the public should cease to support that publication.
You didn't answer the question John.
13 Aspirin and your dead alcohol--100,000 deaths tobacco--450,000 deaths cannabis--O deaths CAN YOU SHOW US 1 NO I BET just more unproven BS.Cannabis has been a medicine for over 5000 years much longer than your narco pills and look at the trail of DEATH.GET THE CANNABIS FACTS.Google Rick Simpson Run From The Cure.Cannabis oil is curing cancer that has been known a long time but no Paton on cannabis means no $$ no good to greedy big pharma
Keep up the good fight John! There are very few people left who are so adamantly opposed to legalizing Cannabis. If we didn't have people like you to demonstrate to our youth how rabid and insane the prohibitionists truly are, we might not have as many young people standing up to disprove your lies.
Our movement, the cannabis legalization movement NEEDS you. We would like to tell people that those against legalization have no interest in facts, and are so hard for locking up anybody who takes a hit that they blather out the same disproven lies again and again in some sort of idiotic attempt and making a lie become true just by repeating it.
And we can point to you as the proof, John. Thank you.
Yes, our goal is to make it so your kids can smoke pot for a tummy ache, or just because they're bored. You won't stop us. You can't stop us. You are in fact helping us. Keep up the good work!
Calif. will legalize in 2010, Oregon is sure to follow. I'm going to light up a joint to ce
lol wow I tried to put some links for info but I guess they don't allow them.. Jon please write another article, this time how about putting some links to support your statements instead of your rather ignorant locksmith opinions that have no qualifications to let you speak to the upright citizens of portland who I would bet my left nut at least 60% of them smoke pot.. People like you are the social ill of the world, those who try to control people and what they do are the problem.
and how about maybe stating some facts about how much more the US gov spends to fight the drug war compared to how much they spend to combat human trafficing? Is it ok to rape little girls but not ok to choose pot over alcohol? Well seeing as how many old men love to sleep with little girls/boys it makes sense that you would waste your time writing this article instead of something that actually IS bad for the human race.
“He states that cannabis is not dangerous because it’s allowed - - - stating that it’s a level III substance.” See John what the “druggie” stated was THC is a schedule III substance, and being a good little fish you took the bait. Synthetic THC, or dronabinol is a man-made substance that was rescheduled in 1999. Look up dronabinol: description and scheduling. The only difference in the two molecules is where the methyl groups bind; it makes NO difference to the molecule as it behaves the same whether natural or synthetic. What is does make it though is patentable, it’s called bio-piracy. So let’s review, natural THC with the empirical formula C-21 H-30 O-2 bad, but synthetic THC with the empirical formula C-21 H-30 O-2 good. You really are way out of your league. And John, what business is it of yours if someone chooses to use this substance? Who gave you moral authority? No human being has moral authority over another. Trying to push others to accept what you deem right and
Wow John, resorting to name a calling? And I’m immature? Anyway let’s see if the “druggie” that calls himself aqueous chemist, actually hydrogeology and aqueous chemistry are my specialties, which are just a tad more difficult than the brain surgery-like profession of being a locksmith. You stated yourself cannabis smoke causes cancer, WHAT causes the cancer? What chemical(s) John? What is worse than radio-active isotopes of uranium-238? What is more destructive than the alpha particle released when polonium-210 decays to lead-206?
I think this guy is a few bricks shy of a load! Talk about somebody in a fog. He mentions looking at were this all started and the lies, but he didn't do that. He started at the end and omitted the beginning. Not only that but he took the lies that had been spread up till then and treated them as facts. This is the very reason why people can't trust people in the press. No credibility! It would be one thing if he say this is "my point of view" but he talks as if what he is saying is the truth and if you don't see it his way then you must be hooked on drugs. Again wrong!
Radical arguments of a delusional mind. Who is the one being paranoid?
I would love to go point by point and destroy your information but that would mean that there is nothing left so I challenge anybody to look at all the facts before believing this guy. Don't start ten of twenty years ago but a hundred or a thousand or even twenty five hundred. This has been around for a long time it is only in the
Why do you have the pictures of the degeneration of someone on meth on an wacko article about what you think about marijuana. This is only more proof that you don't know what you are talking about!!
From the look at what people are saying I think I would lay low if I were you. I think you have kicked a sleeping dog. Good luck, lol.
John this is the probably the most uninformed reactionary closed minded bigoted argument about pot i have read so far. You really should do a little research as your arguments are not based on any fact.
The examiner should really take a look at your contract as you are anything but a proper journalist.
The prohibition lobby is clearly starting to worry, and so they should because they've been rumbled. The game's over John, people aren't listening to your lies any longer.
Illegal drugs are not controlled drugs, end of debate.
OK John, medical marijuana is scam. There are no benefits and too many risks (keep telling yourself that). So lets take a look at one of the many legally prescribed "medications" that YOU support:
AMBIEN CR:
"In controlled clinical trials of AMBIEN CR, the most commonly observed adverse effects were headache, somnolence (daytime drowsiness), and dizziness. You should be aware that sleep medication may cause memory problems, tolerance, dependence, withdrawal, changes in behavior and thinking, and issues concerning pregnancy."
Changes in behavior and thinking include:
* More outgoing or aggressive behavior than normal
* Confusion
* Strange behavior
* Agitation
* Hallucinations
* Worsening of depression
* Suicidal thoughts
But hey, you'll be able to sleep at night...
Yeah, that sounds WAY safer than pot...
You included your totally unrelated picture, but why no unrelated video today. I got a good laugh out of that. You got to chill out on that bottle brother!
Anyway,
"Unless we put medical freedom into the Constitution, the day will come when medicine organize into a underground dictatorship... To restrict the art of healing to one class of men and deny equal privililege to others will constitute the Bastille of medical science. All such laws are un-Americanand despotic and have no place in a republic... The constitution of this republic should make special privilege for medical freedom as well as religious freedom"
-Dr. Benjamin Rush (George Washington's personal physician and signer of the declaration of independence)
So do you have a come back for aqueous chemist, or are you going to just cut your losses and run, LOL.
To understand how the progression of the meth user pictured in the article, unfortunately, one must read the entire article. The last line ties it together; it's the gateway aspect of the marijuana. Tell me you don't know others who went on to use other drugs and I'll not believe you! In fact, I'd bet that most every user has!
If cannabis has no medicinal value and the public has been duped by us “druggies”, then what is this John?
US Patent 6630507 - Cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants; issued October 7, 2003
You should head across to the UK John. We have a newspaper here that would welcome your misinformed scaremongering. It's called the Daily Mail and its views, as yours, are equally maligned.
What makes marijuana a gateway drug and not alcohol?
"Denise Kandel ’52, professor of sociomedical sciences in psychiatry at Columbia University and chief of the department of the epidemiology of substance abuse at the New York State Psychiatric Institute (as compared to a locksmith), is accustomed to receiving media attention. Journalists and politicians have commented on her research finding that early users of alcohol or cigarettes are more likely later to use marijuana and then progress to other illegal drugs, compared with those who did not drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes as adolescents."
"Kandel’s ground-breaking theory — known as the "gateway" hypothesis, a term coined by former National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) director Robert DuPont — has enhanced her reputation as a highly cited researcher. Yet her work is often misunderstood. 'I myself am not a political person,' Kandel says. 'But you cannot control the way your work is used.'"
"'The so-called gateway theory has been used by some people to justify a very conservative drug policy,' Kandel says. For example, her work has been cited by advocates of tougher penalties for marijuana possession and of drug testing in schools (that's people like you)."
"Kandel’s findings have often been misinterpreted, she notes. 'This doesn’t mean that because you start with tobacco, you’re going to become a heroin addict. That’s completely false reasoning. Many people start smoking. Only a few go on to use heroin. Use of a drug at a lower stage may be a necessary but not a sufficient condition for progressing to a higher stage.'"
Did you read that, John? "That’s completely false reasoning." Coming from the person who INVENTED the gateway theory. What does that say about YOUR reasoning?
John - You are weak and pathetic. You have been deleting my posts; even though I have never used an ounce of profanity or filth. I have noticed other people complaining that youd delete their posts, and then you come on and say that you only delete material that other people would find morally offensive etc. That makes you a liar John. Ain't it morally offensive to be a liar...a bald faced, pathetic liar John?
The only person my material could have possibly offended was you John. The only reason it would have offended you is because it made you feel like a jack-ass. You are a pathetic excuse for a blogger...or whatever it is that you do here...examining things.
Let me put it more like this: One of the predetermining factors for serial killers is that pretty much all of them wet the bed as children. So where as someone like me would say that all serial killers wet the bed when they were children, someone like you would say that every child who wets the bed is going to grow up to be a serial killer. Do you see the difference? You're distorting the facts to suit your own agenda.
The claim you make " the average time a medical" CANNABIS " card holder was using pot before applying for their card was 17 years!", is supposed to mean what?
Are you saying 17 year olds don't get sick? Also it's oxymoron to claim that medical cannabis is a scam because people started using it medically before they got there card. Medical cannabis was (for most people) was still illegal when they realized it was beneficial, IDIOT!!!
If you want to give your PERSONAL opinion and rant on like you do about recreational users, well fine. As long as I can post and tell you your wrong I chouldn't care less, that's what freedoms about. But show some respect for the sick! If your going to call medical cannabis a scam and imply that cancer patients just want to get high and take everyone down with them and all the other crap you carry on with, then back it with evidence. Your quickly going from being a joke to becoming a disgrace, these are sick people your bagging on now!!
The only reason marijuana can be a "gateway" drug is because it is prohibited.
An ilegal drug dealer may also sell other more lucrative drugs. thus the gateway could begin.
In the medical marijuana stores in california you can't buy other drugs. This is an example of how to close the gateway
Today I talked with my state rep. about the scam of medical marijuana in CA. Young healthy people can get pot recommendations from shady doctors for anything from anxiety to headaches. However, the attorney general has posted very strict guidelines for dispensaries (see online). By the law, they must be collectives run by caregivers and patients and not for profit. Many are not operating like this, but city govs are allowing them. The CA police estimate only 2% of med. pot users are extremely ill. My (dem) rep. was not really up to speed on the issue. He supports med. mar. but to my relief, not legalization.
The Marijuana Policy Project is writing these laws for the states; they are funded by George Soros, John Sperling and a few other billionaires, the deep pockets. This eccentric guy (Soros) supports legalization of all drugs. Now MPP is running ads in CA to push for the idea that taxing pot will save the state. The ad features an older woman to gain credibility.
Lynn: You want to talk about billionaires with deep pockets? Then lets discuss the people who were originally involved in prohibiting cannabis: DuPont. And if you think it's just a "conspiracy" then read the paragraph that I got off the website with the Denise Kandel information:
"Kandel’s ground-breaking theory — known as the "gateway" hypothesis, a term coined by former National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) director Robert DuPont (DUPONT!) — has enhanced her reputation as a highly cited researcher. Yet her work is often misunderstood. 'I myself am not a political person,' Kandel says. 'But you cannot control the way your work is used.'"
DuPont originally made it illegal and the DuPont family is STILL fighting against legalization. So it's not OK for billionaires with deep pockets to work towards legalization but it IS OK for billionaires with even deeper pockets to continually fight it? Well, that makes perfect sense to me.
The woman in the ad claims taxes on pot will fund schools, but schools in CA have enough problems with drugs and legitimacy of pot will increase those problems. Many more people use alcohol and tobacco than pot, so taxes on pot won't help the economy unless its use skyrockets. And under 21 (1/2 of users) won't be legal anyway. We know that age limits don't stop use of alcohol and tobacco. But MPP lobby group argues that use won't go up and kids won't use more. So unless use goes up (which they claim it won't), taxes won't help (they say they will). And alcohol and tobacco taxes don't pay for the health and treatment costs of those substances.
Notice how the "dispensaries" display marijuana candy and cookies, just like alcohol producers peddle sweet soda-like drinks to the underage. Just think of the underage marketing if corps get into the act!
The many facets of the scam are fascinating--even state reps don't know what is happening because of a few lobbyists and funders.
Honestly John, you are starting to bore me to tears. A lesson in reality: there is a prescription of 80 mg oxy-contin that mom or dad needed from a recent surgery. The bottle contained 30 pills and cost (with insurance) 99 cents, 5 of the said pills were used, with some simple math I’ll do for you that leaves 25 pills. The street value for oxy-contin is a dollar a milligram. The teen of these parents gets into the pills because he/she heard about the buzz, in time they use all 25 remaining pills and, not surprisingly they hunger for more. On the street the now addicted teen realizes the price of these pills on the black market and cannot afford them, but they are still addicted, so what happens next John? For the same 80 dollars the teen could spend on ONE pill he/she takes that 80 dollars and purchases, from the same “dealer”, 8-10 dollar stamp bags of heroin. Too bad dealers don’t ask for age verification. Why is heroin so cheap? We (the US) are occupying the largest producer
Kristin: I put it back to you. If it is not okay for Dupont, then it is not okay for Soros and Sperling. People should be aware of the money behind the push for legalization. The point is that it is an organized plan to start with medical pot and move to legalization and its underwritten not by public outcry but by a savvy group of people. Public officials are not writing these laws--the lobby is.
I voted for prop 215 and thought it would operate like John said--give pot to dying people only, what the heck, they are dying anyway. I was scammed. It came back to bite me because my chemically dependent child can now feed his habit not through his regular physician but by some fly by night doctor who sees him for 10 minutes.
Lynn: "Notice how the "dispensaries" display marijuana candy and cookies, just like alcohol producers peddle sweet soda-like drinks to the underage." Isn't that kind of like President Obama taking away flavored cigarettes? Ever think that adults like those, too? I do, I much prefer a pack of cherry flavored Sweet Dreams rather than Camels. I happen to like chocolate and sweet alcoholic beverages. Just because they package it like that doesn't mean they're directly marketing it to kids. More than that, taking those things away are going to do NOTHING to deter underage use. You think that just because they can't have cherry flavored cigarettes they're suddenly going to stop smoking? Doubtful.
John Your ignorance and this websites unwillingness to remove you from posting can only be resolved by blocking this site. You are a true fear-mongering idiot. Educate yourself before you post again. Its idiots like you that give Journalist a bad wrap. Decriminalization leads to lower prices, ie alcohol, ring any bells?
You are a funny guy, you crack me up Johnnie English! I'm gonna refill my bong, eat some chocolate chip cookies and read your article again. This is far more humorous than anything I've read in a while. Very funny.
John seems to be a rather bitter man, with a photograph of a somewhat sinister appearance.
John does not care one way or the other about ending the War on Americans. It seems that he is only vomiting this garbage to help his career.
Question to John. If you changed your mind on this issue would your career be negatively affected?
And no, John, I do not use any substance that the 18th-century British - er, I mean, 21th-century American government tells me not to. Liberty be damned. Tyranny is upon us.
John may later in life come to realize his misguided behavior and language, but it won't undo the damage he already inflicted.
I pray for you John, first to stop harming Americans and our country and second, that you will repent and realize the errors of your ways. Note: I am not holding my breath because the Pride of Man is one of the most powerful sins in all humanity.
