the problem with america’s economic bailout is that it’s not focused in the right areas of disposable income.
why do we say this..
Just take a look around you. Have the taxes on Cigarettes and Cigars increased; how about the tax on Alcohol ? not in this state just yet. these so called sin taxes when imposed helped to do a few things.
raise revenue
raise awareness
cause changes in social patterns
the bottom line is this, if America wants to follow the real line of green commerce, it’s going to have to relax rules on certain crops and gain an advantage by doing it. simply because Americans will revolt if they can’t get their beer and smokes, plainly put.
Americans will also revolt if the government doesn’t come up with a less cash intensive way to create a boatload of cash, within the next year. theres’ no other way to look at it. we have to use the green to get the green. Hemp can be started today by the large tobacco growers, and as well the corrections farm systems.
that initial crop would help to start the re-greening of americas’ industry and economy.
Hemp was the original crop that produced the wealth of the young America. so much so, the British commonwealth demanded a supply be sent monthly as a tax payment. the crop grows wild, and requires no management by chemicals or soil enrichment. it will grow in the desert as well as the swamp.
This is what America needs..a Green Rebirth
We as Rastafarian’s support the legalization of Marijuana for Spiritual and Medicinal uses. we do not support the legalization of Drugs of any form. Cocaine and Heroin are Drugs because they are Processed to become Usable as Drugs. Marijuana grows from the soil, drys and does not require processing to make it usable. as such it IS NOT A DRUG.
no doubt many of you want to leave comments trying to convince us otherwise, but listen to this - if God / JAH made it, then I support it.
We want to immediately state that we DO NOT ENDORSE THE USE OF ANY DRUGS OR ILLEGAL SUBSTANCES - ESPECIALLY COKE OR METH; As Well We Do Not Endorse the use of Ritalin and Like Kind Drugs.
We’ve done loads of blogs on the problems of the Drug Wars; and the Narco Traffico Policy Problems; so add this one to the pile cause not a word we say makes any difference.
Apparently not a body we show you, not a bullet we talk about; not the kid on your evening news laid out like a statistic; none of it makes any difference.
so lets try the subtle approach, and see if maybe a Cartoon Character can get people to pay attention to this travesty unfolding around us; and destined to get worse - ALA Post Vietnam; if we don’t do something about the Economy Quick.
This is a Meth Lab ->
and yes it is quite complicated. so this is work.
Remember if a drug dealer has a job making enough to live, they usually don’t resort to dealing drugs. don’t believe us and the studies we’ve shown you then just listen to Mr Mackey - He Knows,

We read articles today about the possibility of using Cocaine to Cure Methamphetamine Addiction - somehow that just seems like throwing gasoline onto a raging bonfire; No Thank You. then the connection to the Drug War going on Globally, especially in Mexico.
The wars in Afghanistan and Mexico are claiming lives at about the same rate. Heroin was dumped on the Americas in such ‘big way’ during 2005 - 2008; that we now see a huge increase in heroin related deaths, and murders.
Why is his little boy doing this instead of in school ? ->
This child works cutting Opium Poppies to help Feed His Family - now is that anything for a child to be doing, helping to cultivate the Heroin Trade ?
so if you ask me, anybody who talks about substituting one drug for another one as a cure; is just talking a buncha crap.
This is the border of the US where many of these kidnappings and murders occur. it is also a hotbed of Methamphetamine activity. Wonder Why ? could it be the connection between the economic disparity and mexicans willing to take a chance to do anything they can to get across that redline to make it green for their families ?
I sure hope not - because this pretty flower certainly doesn’t grow there.
The Corruption, and Police Influence involved in this death trade, go all the way up to the top of some governments; like those in Mexico, Columbia, Turkmenestan, and certainly the USA. there are many others who know these facts, and do nothing about them. when one person is the “Decider” then we have decisions like this.
Believe me, this is not an accident - and we shouldn’t “treat” it like one.
to quote Mr Mackey - “Mmm kay, Drugs Are Bad; Don’t Do Drugs“
Boy oh Boy do we ever get tired of blogging about Mans’ Inhumanity to Man. We have a special dislike for those who play the Race Game. this previous blog is one of our most popular in terms of hit count, and everyday we wonder why.

“I think some of these groups are threatened by the election results and they’re trying to build themselves back up,” Thornberry said. Police officers on the streets and sheriff’s deputies across the state, as well as residents, are the best source of information for preventing hate and terrorist activity, Thornberry said. “Oklahomans should continue to be vigilant,” he said. “Oklahomans are very good at calling and reporting information that is suspicious.” Thornberry said anyone with information about suspicious activities can contact local law enforcement agencies or the FBI.

I guarantee you they will finish the job, cleanly and quickly. no need to spend more than $2.00 on a cheap trick like this.
All White people don’t deserve to have their reputations tarnished by some ignorance like this. this isn’t 1920 boys.. grow up.
“a black man in the White House. This makes some Americans feel they are losing their world – the sense that the country their forefathers built is slipping away from them.”
The number of racist hate groups tracked by the Southern Poverty Law Centre has grown by almost 50 per cent during the Bush administration years, from about 600 in 2000 to almost 900 now. In contrast to the 1990s, when the “angry white man” phenomenon fuelled the militia movement and led to the white-supremacist inspired Oklahoma City bombing, much of this new growth has been triggered by virulent hostility to immigrants pouring in from Mexico.”
Screw You Chucky Foster;and Your Ignorant klansboys.
When we saw this story earlier this morning, the first thought was - WHAT ?
these guys must be the biggest jokers since James Earl Ray.
co’mon guys couldn’t you come up with something better than this chicken feed ?
Why not get it over with and bring them to the innauguration and lets have a big ass Chicken Fry.. Sounds Deeee-licious.
this is certainly no time to take a plot like this lightly; because we know they are only a distraction away from the real killers, waiting in hopes of their moment to assassinate Barack Obama.
Lets save a little time on this one, and just let the court of public opinion do the job, quick, and clean. BAM - “Buss they heads to the white meat” - literally to quote Bernie Mac Another Great American Philosopher.
Nuff Said,
JACKSON, Tenn. - Two White supremacists charged with plotting to kill President-elect Barack Obama and dozens of other Black people pleaded not guilty to new criminal charges added to an earlier federal indictment.
Daniel Cowart, 20, of rural West Tennessee and Paul Schlesselman, 18, of Helena-West Helena, Ark., entered the pleas on firearms and conspiracy charges. They were originally indicted on Nov. 5, but a new indictment, with three additional charges, was handed up by a federal grand jury on Nov. 20.
Wearing black and white striped jail uniforms with chains around their ankles, the two stood silent before Magistrate Diane Vescovo except to say “Yes, ma’am” when asked if they understood the new charges. Not guilty pleas were entered Nov. 26 by lawyers.
Mr. Cowart and Mr. Schlesselman are being held without bond and no trial date has been set. Their next scheduled court appearance is Dec. 12 in Jackson, about 75 miles north of Memphis. At that hearing lawyers are to discuss a timetable for further court proceedings.
The men are accused of plotting a robbery and killing spree targeting Blacks that was to culminate with an attack on President-elect Obama. A federal affidavit said the two planned to dress up in white tuxedoes and top hats and attack Mr. Obama by blasting with firearms from a speeding car.
Joe Byrd, Mr. Cowart’s lawyer, said outside the courtroom that he has seen no evidence his client could have carried out such attack.
“It tells me we’re not dealing with Lee Harvey Oswald,” Mr. Byrd said.
Prosecutors refused to comment on the case, as did the federal public defender’s office which is representing Mr. Schlesselman.
Authorities describe Mr. Schlesselman and Mr. Cowart as White supremacist skinheads. They were initially arrested in October by local authorities investigating reports of a window being shot out at an unoccupied, predominantly Black church.
They are accused of possessing a sawed-off shotgun, carrying guns across state lines to commit crimes of violence, planning to rob a licensed firearm dealer and threatening a presidential candidate.
The new indictment includes a charge of conspiring to violate the civil rights of Black Americans and two firearms charges against Mr. Cowart related to the church shooting.
Defense attorney Byrd refused comment on the shooting except to say, “There is some point at which there’s a gulf separating malice and stupidity.”
Mr. Cowart is charged with nine criminal offenses while Mr. Schlesselman is charged with seven. The charges each carry maximum penalties of five to 20 years in prison plus fines of $250,000.
the problem with america’s economic bailout is that it’s not focused in the right areas of disposable income.
