[H] Alternative energy, was gas, became pot
Dave Gibney Pullman, WA This has been a serious digression from my original point. The prime problem with fuel cells is contamination. They have fuel cells that will us gasoline, but it needs to be purer than what's available, or the membranes foul. Straight methane will catalyze to H2O and CO2 with no waste or fouling. So for that matter would any of the ethanol, methanol, etc. available from digesting vegetation, which becomes compost, which helps fertilize the next crop. Ignoring for the moment all legalization of psychoactive hemp, industrial hemp grows clean and fast and has a multitude of uses. And believe me, you can smoke all you what and not get high. The stupidity of keeping hemp illegal because the government (cops are) to stupid to tell the difference is preventing the use of a potentially valuable commodity, and keeping Dupont's profit margin up. And the oil could be put to better use making plastic for computer cases and other parts.

Re: [H] MS antispyware ?
keeps popping up a warning about added favorites that are not new. Webroot has sent me two newer builds, better but still no cigar. I find it odd also they do not post new builds when you check for program updates, you have to complain then they send u a link.

Re: [H] Gas prices
No I don't think that the drug laws have a significant effect on consumption. I know quite a few people who indulge in a variety of drugs on a regular basis, regardless of the laws. I also know of high school students getting high on OTC drugs, which is certainly worse than smoking a little weed, and that is a direct negative result of current drug laws. Assuming for a moment that you are correct, and 2x as many people start smoking MJ, who gives a shit? The effects are not particularly different than drinking alcohol, except that one is a lot less prone to go out and get into trouble. The ultimate question, however, is what business is it of yours if your neighbor smokes pot? In what way does it harm you? Julian PS: It's not fear of reprisal, it's just that they got over it. Almost every single person I know has smoked weed at some point in their lives. Some give it up, some don't. Some use it responsibly, some don't. None of them seem particularly hurt by it.

I am also not the product of any warped era (whatever that is).I am also not an addict, never have been. I will ask you the same thing, you don't think punishment does not deter drug use? That is just plain silly. If mary jane were legal and sold at the local drug store there would be at least 2x as many people smoking it. You think some of those who are not smoking might be abstaining because of fear of reprisals? LOL -Gary
Re: [H] Gas prices
Me? I thought you were the condescending one. Anyway, go to walmart, costco, etc. and look at the price of generic drugs. You can get 200 generic excedrine for $4. 400 generic aleve for ~$8. Generic claritin is similarly priced. It's the drugs on patent that are ridiculously priced. So again, regardless of whatever mythical difference you may try to cook up, alcohol prohibition and drug prohibition are exactly the same. Ending said prohibition will have the same results as it did the last time. Julian At 11:15 PM 8/25/2005, you wrote: Like all the other drugs from Pharmaceutical companies? Now, that is a good one. Add to it all the taxes that are sure to be imposed and all of the legal obligation that comes from being part of the delivery chain. Low prices are a dream. BTW, do you always find it necessary to be so condescending? -Gary

If mary jane were legal and sold at the local drug store there would be at least 2x as many people smoking it. You think some of those who are not smoking might be abstaining because of fear of reprisals? LOL For conversation sake, smoking can refer to tobacco, also, along with the use of all illegal drugs. For conversation sake, reprisals can refer to social and legal consequences. Study any social group that disassociates those who choose to smoke any addictive or harmful substance or uses illegal drugs for recreational purposes. Although those on the inside of the group may misrepresent the percentage of members who violate the rules, a substantial number are violators. The point here is, although there are violators, their numbers are few, in relation to the number of those in a group who does not have these restrictions. Yes, "some of those who are not smoking might be abstaining because of fear or reprisals" not just legal, but social, also. If I am in the presence of a drug user who does not smoke their drug, I can be clean when I leave. If I am around smokers I am uncomfortable, breathing that poison. When I leave I discover my clothes are filled with smoke residue because they stink. Smokers have no concern for the people around them if they smoke in their presence. I have cut off friendships because of this. It is sad to be so addicted to a substance that you must use it in their presence and lose them as a friend. Friends say, "Can't you respect my rights to smoke?" Best reply, "If and only if you can figure out a way to do it where I do not smell an offensive odor and leave with my clothes full of the substance." Some have chosen to abstain from smoking around me even in their own home. Most have let their habit destroy our friendship. Other non smokers do not have to take such a harsh stand. It is your choice to live with it and keep your friends. Chuck
