A collection of gripes, with no particular theme and no sources.
- FSA is one step further along to treating hemp as just another crop--a recent notice covered NAP's provisions relative to it. I guess that's okay, but
- When I see the legalization of marijuana, I recall vividly my HS science teacher, a Mr. Youngstrum, cautioning us never to use marijuana. The vivid memory stems from his vehement emotion, unusual to see in any teacher in that era. I guess I know the arguments, and don't really oppose the trend; it's just a big change since my youth.
- I heard on the radio something, an ad I guess, which was anti-tobacco. I think the woman said we could eliminate smoking in 12-15 years. Hadn't been paying enough attention to follow the argument or her reasoning. As a reformed 2+ pack a day smoker (long ago) that wouldn't be bad, although I'm skeptical of our ability to do so. And it jars a big when contrasted to our position on marijuana.
- I saw a reference to "authentic self"--the idea being that achieving one's authentic self was the proper goal of living/education/something. Hogwash and poppycock, to use expressions common in my youth. The idea renders me speechless/wordless.
