Free Advice and Opinions

両方のことわざ，ご存知か？　熟考するのがいやなのであろうか？　人気ではない世界へようこそ。Politics and religion.話題にしないのがどうして法律になっているか？
　９９．９９％の人は、実際、話題には最初からしない。自分が思っている事を話の相手も思わすだけで、自分の信じている事を疑問する勇気がない。出ている釘になるな。Squeaky wheelになるな。それで気分が満るか？
　ご自分の最も秘密の所では、質問がない？　Judgment Dayにはね返ってくると思わない？言うまでもなく，こんなに気をつかうのが普通な人間にはもったいないと言えるかも知れない。そう思わない。I have more to say on this, but I’m tired and it’s time to go to sleep now.

　最近人々は私の事をとても大切にして、このブログを商売のJRPottery.comから消すようにアドバイスをくださっている。お気持ちは心から感謝いたしており，お断りする理由を申し上げる。
　先ず、その人々の文句をはっきり繰り返しておく：　私は麻薬禁止法律を反対する。理由はいろいろあるけど，ようするに個人責任そしてその当たり前に付随の個人自由はなによりも大事だ。私は黙ったら、嘘に過ぎない。
　いやだったら私の品物を買わないでください。私の品物がお気にいってくれて、しかし，私の愚かな意見を読むのがいやだったら、”Free Advice and Opinions”にクリックしないで，私の作品だけをご覧ください。それとも、論理を使って反論をしてください。約束：私は間違っている事を立証したら，私はちゃんと拒否する。お待ちいたしておる。
　

Dear Mr. Davis,
I have written to you before about the “War On Drugs”, which is in fact only a “war” on recreational use of certain drugs, but that’s not a politically palatable sound-bite. An even more accurate and less politically palatable appellation would be “Prohibition”. You’ll never hear the pedantic “Drug Warriors” use that word […]

I’ve been looking for a word that describes an unhealthy degree of interest in blood-n-guts things, or person-harms-person things that one might typically see, and some might sometimes applaud, during prime-time on the idiot box.
I looked up the words “prurient” and “salacious” in my Oxford English Dictionary, both of those words have specifically to do […]

For those who will be offended and quit reading long before you get to where something similar is written below:
I publish this blog in order to avoid deceiving you by omission. I have short hair, good personal hygeine, nobody could mistake me for a “hippie”; by simply remaining silent, I could present myself as […]

How do you sleep?
How do you sleep, Takeda Drug Company? How do you sleep, FDA?
How much money do you, Takeda, pay to the FDA, in order that they grant you permission to say in your radio commercials that “Rozerem is non-habit-forming and couldn’t ever, ever, ever lead to abuse or dependence”?
We […]

You just keep on attempting to circumscribe your neighbor’s liberty, keep excusing it by asserting that we would ineluctably become addicted and that we’re incapable of PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. Keep drinking the formerly-prohibited drug (and keep referring to “drugs and alcohol” as though the latter were not one of the former) and keep denying […]

…”about Marijuana”. “Important Facts About Our Nation’s Most Misunderstood Illegal Drug.”
That’s on the cover page, along with a photograph of a “roach” with a alligator clip, of a very revealing presentation that I downloaded from the ONDCP’s Website.
Let us now examine these “Misunderstandings”. I have begun the […]

The most obvious motivation to prohibit any form of recreation is fear. The Prohibitionists list the various evils that people, presumably all people, will surely do if they are permitted to recreate by, for instance, smoking a joint:
They tell us it’s a “gateway drug”, by which they mean that more and more will […]

It is acknowledged by “religious conservatives” that God is the Creator, the Author of All Things, seen and unseen… including marijuana and all other psychoactive substances, prohibited and unprohibited.
To prohibit any of those substances is to assert that God simply must have made a “Mistake” in putting them here, that we the “Unwashed” […]
