Marijuana Danica TV news Twitter Politics are the topics for today. Kind of a mish mash but all things I consider absurd.
TV News and Twitter
It would seem that news on TV has reached the level of the internet. That’s a bad thing because there are more wrong things on the internet than there are true things on the internet. The bombing at the Boston Marathon was a tragedy. The news reporting was even more so. All wild speculation, never getting the facts right, using their own opinions as fact, identifying the wrong people as the bomber, etc. Twitter was even worse. Rampant misinformation, mostly gleaned from the news outlets which were wrong to begin with.
Most people now realize that just because it’s posted on the internet doesn’t make it true. It used to be you could trust the new but now it’s as bad as the internet. News is supposed to be factual not a bunch of cobbled up opinions presented as fact. Oh for the days of Walter, Dan and Tom.
It’s to bad you can no longer trust the news, the internet or the politicians in Washington DC.
Marijuana
It’s time to do the right thing and Legalize marijuana or at least take it off the scheduled 1 drugs. Marijuana, Pot, weed etc is no where near as dangerous as alcohol or even aspirins and that’s been proven many times so why are we wasting so much money trying to enforce antiquated laws that have no basis in reality. Lol, even Republicans are finally coming out for marijuana and letting the states decide. Check these two links about marijuana out as you will learn something.

Politics
To tell you the truth I don’t think the states should have much control over my body either. “I own my body. I’ll put a big gulp, cocaine, weed, meth, helium, or a bullet in it, abortion surgical implements in it, I’ll tattoo it, damage it, kill it, any day of my life I choose, and you, a total stranger to me, ought not to have a damn thing to say about it, unless and until I steal the property or injure the body of another person. That’s what freedom is, and if you can’t handle that, you are my enemy. And I should be able to sell my organs as they belong to me and if I want I should be able to sell sexual services to consenting adults who want those services.”
Danica Patrick
For all the Danica haters out there who think she isn’t good enough to drive in Nascar. Hey fools, she is 26th in the rankings so I guess my question to the idiots who think Danica shouldn’t be racing in Nascar is “None of the 17 idiots she’s ahead of in the points should be allowed to race either. I feel the same way about the Nationwide series where she finished in the top ten. If the girl can’t drive how the hell did she finish in the top 10 last year and does that mean all the people below her should be kicked out of Nascar> After all, if she didn’t belong in Nationwide and now Sprint Cup then all the people who are below her should also be gone. You fools got an answer for that one. The most over rated driver in Nascar is Junior.
