The Truth

So now that I am all caught up on The Office, I have moved onto Weeds. This show is hilarious! I am watching it right now and one quote I just heard speaks the whole truth:

Andy: "What are they teaching you in school?"

Shane: "How to pass a weekly standardized test so the school can get more funding."

And that my fellow Americans is what our education system is all about!

Oh and speaking of weed. I am not a big fan of smoking weed myself, I really don't like the taste. I feel the same way about alcohol. But I am beginning to agree with the legalize marijuana folks: Alcohol makes people do dumb things and weed makes people do dumb things. How come one can be legal and the other can't? How come one can be sold publicly in order to benefit the economy, but the other can't? I am sure if marijuana was legal, our economy would get a great big boost. And tax payers wouldn't have to spend so much for having pot sellers take up space in jails. You know jail, the place for murders, convicts, and pedophiles?

People are going to smoke weed and teenagers are going to have sex. My advice: legalize pot, help the economy. Teach sex education because teenagers have a right to be exposed to all information. No more of this "abstinence only" crap. (I want to add that I saw Lewis Black live the other night. Even before seeing him I was always an advocate for comprehensive sex education, he just sparked me to write about it today that's all.)

I am learning at this young age that our society has major issues with social order and social change. Maybe when the old conservatives die off, our society can welcome some much needed change. Who gives a care if gay people want to marry? Who gives a care if dads choose to stay at home while mothers bring in the bacon? Who cares if a women decides she cannot have a baby at that time in her life? If it doesn't affect your well being and your life style, why do you care so much? Get off your high horse and let people live the life they want.

"pursuit of happiness" come on!
