once upon a time my 9th grade teacher had written on the blackboard:

"Who are the Viet Cong?"

I did not have a clue....

I'm pretty sure a lot of the boys 3 or 4 years older didn't either... diff was they were headed over....

this was a military "base school"....

to my mind, one sad parallel between the middle east "crises" of these past many years and the now long ago Vietnam / southeast Asia "domino theory" era of confrontations is the willingness of the general public to support the commitment of vast "blood and treasure" with very little knowledge or understanding of the people or their cultures involved....

but but then how do you do your Koreadates...

lots of white men / brothers like and respect him too.... Got him elected... pass me that thing...

Fight! Fight! Fight!

So... what is to be done?

"Some people like to compare cannabis to other widely used substances, such as caffeine. ..."

Wot ho.... insanity all over....

I will now retreat to my study of pot and red Cali wine....

Thanks Lamp.... what a hoot....
