PMT's and stuff
I feal like I should bring a gift for the house On saturday. But I have no idea what any one wants or needs. I saw that cool looking miror in I think Paul's journal but that was way to much for me. You can (e:mail) or send a post it or even comment and leave a suggestion for me. I remember when I was growing up when ever there was a house warming everyone brought a gift. But that was the oldays and it wasn't like an obligation but just something you did. On a side note I hope the wearther is nice and I hope I'm in a good picture taking mood.

Fearless Jackass
The first movie I just made it for was Jet Li: Fearless. Without giving anything away it was verry good. Not sure if you could call it an epic film it was what they call a period piece. It was Fictious but based on true events. Differant People like their Kung Fu movies differant. I like mine like how fealess was it has a story line and isn't just fighting. Rightousness, Honor, and philoshpy play a part in the story. I can't really say anything else with out giving away the story. I do like the way they told it and mixed it in well with fight scenes. I like that sometimes you have to waut for fighting. It was subtittled as opposed to dubed. There are advantages to both formats. In dubbing you don't miss any action by reading. You never really know if the translations are exact. I rented a movie once where there was a differance in how someone was related to someone else and there where sliet differances but everything basicly meant the same. But I like is subtitles that you hear the people talk and then read what they are saying dubing looks bad. Plus in Jet Li movies it is weird cause you know he can speak english but he isn't. All in all I thought it was verry good then off to McDonalds to eat.
The second movie was Jackass Number 2. If you like gross humor and lots of crazzy stunts you will like that as I did. I have to admit I'm waiting for the DVD to come out. I saw the first one on DVD and they had a lot of great stuff on the DVD that never made the movie. It is a little differant to see that movie in a theartre but still a fun time.

Lost war on drugs
What upsets me about the war on drugs is that the entire aproach is wrong. The cops arrest drug dealers and a new one pops up. You can't arrerest them as quickly as someone else comes along, it dosn't work. They are trying to fight the symptoms instead of the problem. People who use drugs are going to use drugs taking away a dealer isn't going to stop that. So what you wind up doing is sending people to Jail and over crowding jails. There is a big business in prisions that I may get to latter in this post. Basicly the government spends a lot of money locking people up and paying police to fight this war and sending cops into a war zone.
But if you fight drug use the other way you are much better off. Use the money to help people who want to stop using drugs to stop. Why do people start using drugs in the first place? I say it is to deal with life. Now when it is with alcohol that is ok but weed, coke, or Herion is ok? I say spend the money to help people how to deal with life so they don't need to use any drugs. Will there still be people who use drugs and become addicts, of course. But anyone who wants drugs can get drugs so we might as well try to make it so as few people as possible need drugs to deal with things.
You are not an addict be diffention untill what you are addicted to starts to interfear with other things. I have never understood that and kinda disagree a little bit. If you have two beers a day and have to have those 2 beers a day you are an addict just a responible one. But that being some of the money that is being poured into a loosing war on drugs could be used to figure out why some people can use drugs like weed or special K to party and not get addicted and some people then have to have there drug of choice. Wouldn't it be cool if you could pop a pill and it would get rid of the addicting quality of Pain Killers or even make painkillers that arn't addicting.
I belive that none of this will ever happen because secertly there are way to many people who make a lot of money on the war on drugs. The cops have a lot more to do when figting drugs and need that overtime pay. The prison system is verry big business. You have the company that builds it and other companies you supply pipes and eletric supplies. After building some one supplies food, uniforms, vechiles and all sorts of things. Not sure if it is true anymore but prisons used to count towards an areas population, that ties into how much money they get. Then there are the prision guards and prision workers who all get paid. Granted all people in jail are not drug dealers, drug users or people who stole for drugs but they do make up a lot of them. Prisons are a big business that a lot of companies make a great profit off of.
One thing that i find strange is that you have gangs who kill over drug turf. You would think that if these gangs didn't kill eachother and innocants that the cops would be less likely to go there and kick in doors. If drug dealers didn't except things like for dope that would also keep the cops away. If no ones houses are being broken into and there is no shoting or stabing or robing then the cops have no reason to come there. These gangs only happen in the inner city. You never hear about drug shoot outs in the suburbs. Are there drug houses out there? Or is that just an inner city thing? To be honest I don't know. I know that kids from good niehboorhoods and the burbs get and do drugs but not sure where they buy them.
I think that if you take the criminal aspect out of drugs things would be a lot better. It being criminal is why you gangs have turf wars and cops get killed and drug deals go bad. But then what about kids who qucikly figure out that they can leave school and sell dope all day and make more money then working a Job? I say that is a dam shame. But when you are part of the underclass in this country that is verry true. Just because you are from the underclass dosn't mean you have to sell drugs but it sure is tempting. I truely belive that there are a lot of rich people who want the underclass to stay as the underclass. I think that the rift between the rich and the poor is much wider then the one between white and blacks have ever been. I think a lot of big buiness dosn't care about the underclass as long as they buy there product. 40oz Beer is a great example that is a lot of fucking beer. You used to only be able to find them in stores in the ghetto. That was on purpose to pray on the poor. Those rent to own places is another good example. They take a $600 item and make it worth around double the price. But do they do lay a ways no. You rent it from them long term. Short term would be differant. Its the superbowl and your having a party but you don't have the money for a TV that covers the wall. I figured out the payments once and it was about 3 times the amount of the Value they listed on the TV. Not to mention that they allready inflated the value. The company dosn't care they are just there to pray on the poor and make their money and keep the poor that way.
If there where white suburban crack houses then who knows maybe the war on drugs might work, but it is still the wrong approach.
Here is where I get to the ify part. What if you decrimalise drugs? I think that would be good cause you could spend the money on trying to get people not to use drugs in stead of arresting people. It would help cut down on some of the violance in the drug wars. But the people selling them still want the most profit they can get so there still might be gang warfare.
I think Weed definatly and Cocaine should definatly be made legal. They would be sold in drug stores only and would be controled like alcohol and cigerettes. Yes now that it is legal you might get a few more people who want to try them but you would have the money you warn't putting into the war on drugs and new tax money for drug education and life coping skills and rehab centers. That would cut down on drug users. The people who where bringing the drugs in from other countries would now be the suppliers. They would make more money doing it this way so that would insure they wouldn't let any of it get onto the streets. When prohibtion started it caused gangs to form and government eventually wised up and ended it they really need to do the same thing now. I have heard a lot of theroies about why drugs won't be legalised. For example the cotton industry dosn't want Hemp clothes to compete with it. The government can't figure out how to tax it and keep the drugs out of street deelers hands. I have heard that legal perscription drug companies know there product is abused and dosn't want the competion.
What I know for sure is that the war on drugs is a battle we lost a long time ago and someone in government needs to start a differant aproach. It dosn't help that most politicans arn't from the ghetto or don't know about the ghetto and all the problems there. It also dosn't help that some of them know and could care less. Not sure if it is because of race or money. I understand that there will always be be some verry rich people and some verry poor people it is just to bad that some rich people try to keep it that way. If this wasn't true then why isn't there a drug war with the rich and connected and in the suburbs. Hopefully I'll hear some others thoughts on this. Oh yeah not really sure if herioin should be legal at all that is from what I've heard one of the most devestating drugs around. Maybe if I get more info I'll form an opion on meth labs.
