Yep. You can use legalizing marijuana as a parallel. If a substance is not a substantial, immediate risk to life or health (and even if it is, in my opinion, but let's leave that aside for the moment), what business has the government that permits alcohol and cigarettes banning it? Newsflash...

Yo, True Dope! I would not feel so all alone. . .

Tipis don't honk. More important, tipis don't take up parking spots. We had the Boston Tea Party. Y'all had the Ottawa Parking Party. I like it. Variation on a theme. And sure enough, True Dope called out the redcoats.

OK, Yank here. Never pretended to be anything else. Understand you have a big hoo-rah going on about Pete Poo-lover vs. Justin (nice hair!) True Dope. Let's get real. Neither man will move Canada more'n a couple of degrees left or right. Justin had his shot, maybe now it's time for some...

MMM-mmm. Flapjacks.

Nope, not a bit. Equal justice, sadly, is not a reality, but it's a goal.

Don't care. Things are working the way they should. Government action has done what it can do. Time for private action, moral suasion, and the passage of time to finish the job. No, I'm not a hypocrite. I got into college (with a high-school equivalency diploma) because I was in the Air...

Cool. Hey, if every mish-mash of ancient pagan sky-watching, overlaid by Catholic appropriation, led to such a fun night, I might head for the confessional!

OK, I TOTALLY am going to Alberta for my Halloween! Let's see. . . I can join the protest of a bunch of authentic, God's-own-creation streaks of misery in Kay-bec, or have some fun and get a flash of leg and cleavage in the Wild West. . . Hmmm. . . decisions, decisions. . .

Let's keep saying it. Bring "themmuns" on-side.

Why don't we have a "fuck tax?" I imagine most folk wouldn't grumble too much at paying it.

And as such is a general "pagan" festival. There were plenty of tribes that were able to look at the sky and identify the autumnal equinox. Yeah, the specific "Samhain" is a Celtic (Gaelic) term, but it ain't like other northern barbarians had the equivalent.

Let's start here. The attack on Mr. Pelosi was reprehensible, and we hope DePape spends a long time in the hoosegow or the state mental hospital. Whatever differences we have this is the. . . absolute. . . dumbest. . . way to handle them.

Yeah, I hauled a STICS (Self-Contained Transportable Intelligence and Security System) from Riyadh to fuck-knows in the Rub al Khali in Saudi. Idiot 18-wheeler driver didn't know how to handle drifting sand. Having lived in Arizona, I did. Still wish I'd had Ron there. Like I said, multiple...

It is the way. . . (dwamatic pause). . . of my people! (Yeah, well, your people were a bunch of backward stone-age fuckwits. Sitting on top of the richest iron ore deposits on the planet chipping flint axes. Wake the fuck up!)

Actually, they "borrowed" (stole) it from the pre-Christian religions. Samhain or whatever the local "barbarians" chose to call their post-equinox festival. The Christians, in the early days, were happy to co-opt the local gods and make them "saints," if it got the pagans on-side. FFS, Easter...

Hell, that's 60% of why it's fun!

Yeah, well, y'know, you're an imperialist colonialist racist fascist Klan Nazi right-wing sexist rapist asshole, but I like the cut of your jib. Speaking of which, if you had a load to be hauled, or an improvement on your land to be made, is there anybody you'd rely on more than Ron or petros...

Actually, we should ban Halloween because it ain't all Jesus-y. Or maybe just let young folk have some fun. Pretty sure the Empire won't fall from it.

So can we move forward? You, me, Serryah, Ron in Regina, maybe a few others? We'll still have plenty of differences, but can we just admit that we're searching for a "just" society, and quit ascribing Trumpism to you and Ron, and BLM-ism to Serryah and me? Maybe look for some level of...
