"Every now and then a game comes along that is true genius. Well, in this case we've been struck by lightning twice. The game Zendo is true genius, and the gaming system it was built in is also a truly unique and wonderful slice of genius. During play test of this game there was unanimous agreement that this game was great. Each participant had his or her own take on why the game was great. All of which adds up to one unmistakable conclusion: for the demographic which we represent this game is a winner on many fronts." -- review of Zendo at SpiritualGaming.com

What's New?


What's Going On? Please Call Congress TODAY!

Today is a big day! As soon as we launch this website, we are going downtown to meet with our congressmen and ask them to support medical marijuana! We'll be joining about 300 other members of NORML as we become "Citizen Lobbyists," converging on Capitol Hill in support of HR2233, "The States' Rights To Medical Marijuana Act."

If you are a regular reader of this website, please support our efforts to change the hurtful marijuana laws by taking action yourself. Call your own congressmen TODAY, and tell them the same thing we'll be saying in person: Support this bill!

To quote NORML's Executive Director, Keith Stroup, "We are asking all of our supporters to call their members of Congress on Thursday, and ask them to support medical marijuana and the decriminalization of marijuana for personal use. When speaking to your Representative, be sure to stress the need for them to support HR2233, 'The States' Rights To Medical Marijuana Act.' To be connected to your Representative or Senator's office, simply call the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121."

In case you need any convincing about the medical value of cannabis, Kristin has this week finally posted her medical marijuana story. The fact is, medical marijuana works wonders on her migraines. It's a better treatment than anything else she's tried in her 20 year struggle with these debilitating headaches.

There's a lot more I could say about all this, but I just don't have time. We have a 3:00 o'clock appointment with Steny Hoyer, and a 4:00 meeting with Paul Sarbanes, so I gotta go!

Assuming you're reading this in time, PLEASE MAKE THAT PHONE CALL! Thanks!

(It's easy... call the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121, tell them what state you live in, and ask to be connected with your representative. Ask them to support support HR2233.)

the story so far

Thought Residue
"Today, in response to continued criticism about the war and the occupation, the government responds by yelling 'Appeaser!' every time it can and asking the fatuous question: 'Isn't Iraq better off without Saddam?' Well, no, actually it isn't, in the coarsest terms. Some 12,000 Iraqis were killed during the war and another 2,000 since the 'end' of the hostilities. I don't know how many people Saddam routinely dispatched every year with his acid baths and spurts of homicidal spite, but my guess is that 14,000 would have been pushing it, even for him. What I mean is that as a result of our actions many more people have lost their lives (or, for that matter, been maimed or made homeless) than would have been occasioned by another ten years of Saddam's rule." -- Rod Liddle, "Things Were Better Under Saddam"

"As a pilot who flew 101 combat missions in Vietnam, I can tell you that the best thing our government can do for its combat veterans is to quit making more of them. Peace is patriotic; a preemptive war is immoral, illegal, unconstitutional, a war crime, and TREASON. I swore to uphold the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic. That includes a renegade president. Wake up, America! It is time for George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and the whole oil mafia to be removed from office and indicted for TREASON." -- Dr. Robert Bowman, "Some Dare Call It Treason-Wake Up America!"
"By the 1980s a new government policy took effect that made the already growing problems in Chicago's poor black neighborhoods worse.  It was called the 'War on Drugs,' a movement launched by the Reagan administration in response to the sudden explosion of crack cocaine. The intent was to rid urban streets of narcotics.  Instead, in Chicago and cities across the country, the program led to the mass incarceration of black men, most of whom served time, then returned to their neighborhoods with a criminal record, giving them even less of a chance than they had before of finding legitimate work. In 1970 the total population of Illinois prisons was 7,326.  As of Thursday, the population was 43,945, a sixfold increase that experts say is the direct result of the increased drug convictions that began in the 1980s." -- Rex W. Huppke, "On Streets, Drug Trade The Only Game In Town"
