        \_ Yet another reason I'd like to see pot legalized.  I hate pot culture
           and I think it's a stupid drug, but I think it would be great
           to be able to grow huge pot plants to conceal my bunker from
           aerial infrared photography.  *sigh*.

        \_ FORESTS of pot plants?? And opium is the main cash export of
           Afghanistan??
           \_ Per pound/ounce, opium's a much better investment. Also, the
              home-grown MJ industry here is widespread, whereas our opium
              production is virtually non-existent.

11/2    California Uber Alles is such a great song
        \_ Yes, and it was written about Jerry Brown. I was thinking this
           as I cast my vote for Meg Whitman. I am independent, but I
           typically vote Democrat (e.g., I voted for Boxer). However, I
           can't believe we elected this retread.

4/5     "Lawmakers: Afghan leader threatens to join Taliban"
        http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100405/ap_on_re_as/as_afghanistan
        Hmmm, first we proped up bin Laden to fight against the Soviets, and
        he joined the Al Qaida to go against us.  Next we proped up Karzai to
        fight the Al Qaida, and he's joining the Taliban to go against us.
        When will we stop propping up our own enemies?

12/11   Congress makes me sick. They forked over $700B to the banks with
    less hand-wringing. $15B is chump change. Just do it. They don't
    deserve it, but neither did the banks.
        \_ The $700B was a loan.
           \_ and we're gonna get every penny back, with interest!  or how
              about this:  it would have been much worse if we hadn't loaned

        A politician like Biden who just flat out lies.

8/11    Anyone have thoughts about what the US should do about Georgia?
        \_ Annex it as Georgia II.
        \_ Not much I'm afraid.  Especially since Georgia seems to have
           started it.  Russia was fomenting the battle, but when Russia
           is itching to attack you, don't give it an excuse!
           \_ Russia moved troops into Georgia, not the other way around.

7/24    So I bought into the hype after being in San Diego during Comicon
        last year (but not attending) and decided to go this year. I can't
        say I really enjoyed myself. It was $40 for a 1 day ticket and
        \_ so don't go next year.  I liked Comic Con the times I went; it's
           a blast.  No one is begging you to go to a convention!
           \_ I doubt I will. I bet when you went it was much less crowded.

Most Popular Canada troops battle 10-foot Afghan marijuana plants Adjust font size: Decrease font Decrease font Enlarge font Enlarge font OTTAWA, Canada (Reuters) -- Canadian troops fighting Taliban militants in Afghanistan have stumbled across an unexpected and potent enemy -- almost impenetrable forests of marijuana plants 10 feet tall. General Rick Hillier, chief of the Canadian defense staff, said Thursday that Taliban fighters were using the forests as cover. In response, the crew of at least one armored car had camouflaged their vehicle with marijuana. "The challenge is that marijuana plants absorb energy, heat very readily. And as a result you really have to be careful that the Taliban don't dodge in and out of those marijuana forests," he said in a speech in Ottawa, Canada. "We tried burning them with white phosphorous -- it didn't work. But a section of soldiers that was downwind from that had some ill effects and decided that was probably not the right course of action," Hiller said dryly. One soldier told him later: "Sir, three years ago before I joined the army, I never thought I'd say 'That damn marijuana'."
