Click audio link above to listen to the latest public service announcement from the Partnership for a Death Free America. This 30-second spot ("The Only Good Hippo") is a long-overdue clarion call to exterminate hippopotami in response to the threat that they pose to our dear American young people. Mothers, it is time to speak up on behalf of your kids. Biodiversity is all well and good, but the well-being of white kids must always come first.
People ask me, "How can you be in favor of exterminating hippopotami?" I take one look at my poor little white children and ask myself, "How could I NOT?"
The hippopotamus is the world's most deadly animal. It kills up to 3,000 people every year, many of them white. Tell your representative to support the Taney-Dipschitz Bill to exterminate hippopotami worldwide.
I could tell my psychiatrist EXACTLY what would "cure" my depression, even without getting addicted, but everything involved is illegal. It has to be. Otherwise I would have no need of the psychiatrist.
In the board game "Sky Team," you collect "coffees" to improve your flying skills. Funny how the use of any other brain-focusing "drug" in real life is considered to be an obvious sign of impairment.
Trump's lies about America's voting process are typical NAZI and DRUG WAR strategy: raise mendacious doubts about whatever you want to destroy and keep repeating them. It's what Joseph Goebbels called "The Big Lie."
Almost all talk about the supposed intractability of things like addiction are exercises in make-believe. The pundits pretend that godsend medicines do not exist, thus normalizing prohibition by implying that it does not limit progress. It's a tacit form of collaboration.
The Drug War is the ultimate example of strategic fearmongering by self-interested politicians.
It is a crime against humanity to withhold cocaine from the depressed and those with impaired cognition.
The whole drug war is based on the anti-American idea that the way to avoid problems is to lie and prevaricate and persuade people not to ask questions.
"The Oprah Winfrey Fallacy": the idea that a statistically insignificant number of cases constitutes a crisis, provided ONLY that the villain of the piece is something that racist politicians have demonized as a "drug."
This pretend concern for the safety of young drug users is bizarre in a country that does not even criminalize bump stocks for automatic weapons.
Question: Why do doctors judge cocaine by its worst possible use? Answer: Follow the money.
