A hot issue today is the war on drugs. I thought I'd take a stand on this, as I'm thinking about drugs right now. (Hell, thinking about Vics Vapo-Rub is more of a turn on than work!) Now, while I don't believe ALL drugs should be legalized (simply because there are too many self destructive fools out there) I don't have a problem with the wacky weed becoming legal. The reasons for legalization are simple and have been stated many times. Cancer and AIDS relief, hemp products, taxation, blah blah blah. Truth is we all wanna get high, OK? All of us.
The reasons for it remaining illegal have also been beaten to death. The one that I hear the most is that POT IS A GATEWAY DRUG. This is only half true. As brought up by my partner in crime Rusty (who hopefully soon will grace us all with his wisdom) the small speck of truth in this is that drug dealers are engaging in an illegal trade. Real, full-time drug dealers don't just sell marajuana: They sell cocaine, heroin, and all sorts of other nasties, which is where the real money is. So naturally they're going to try to push these drugs on you. 90 dollars of weed among a few friends might last a week. 90 dollars of cocaine among a few friends might not last through the night! When was the last time you called your dealer up at 6:30 in the morning because you're out of marajuana? Never happens! The guys who just sell weed don't really make money on the scale that those who deal in harder drugs do. So even if you want to buy weed at 6am, if your dealer only sells weed, he ain't even out of bed yet!
You all know what the real gateway drug is. Alcohol. Yep, that's a drug too, people. It alters your body the same way things refered to as "drugs" do. And I don't know about you, but I certainly started with alcohol. ANd I've been drinking during every other type of drug I've done for the first time. But with the weed, I wasn't.
Plus when you get into the Bolivian devil powder, it seems like the main purpose of that, at least initially, is so you can drink more. When's the last time you heard someone say, "wow, I'm too stoned to smoke all of this weed, I think I need some cocaine so I can stay up and smoke more?" More likely than not you'll just go to bed.
More tomorrow, I'm outta here.

This new fucking president bullshit is getting on my nerves.

So this is how it ends: We're all sitting here chained to a cube. No unions. Expensive, inadequate health care. Instead of sticking together, we're taught to rat each other out. The lemming that sits next to me is always quick to tell the boss when I've been on the phone for too long, or announce "Look at this guy, he's planning a road trip" while I looked at a map at my desk. While I want to get revenge, I know he just doesn't think for himself, and he doesn't know any better. What a maroon. Doesn't he know I'm trying to free his mind, man?

Hey, here it is: The initial spot for Knife of Simpson until Neal gets off his ass and does a real web site. In case you're just finding this site now, here's the deal: One day, the Knife of Simpson site will have graphics, mp3s, multiple sections, but seeing as how we have nothing recorded and can still barely make it through an entire set, this will have to do.
The name of the band? Nothing racially motivated, I assure you. Doesn't it strike you as odd that OJ Simpson is walking around right now, a free man?
