The other day I wrote a little post about California and the expectation they will soon be voting for a big step towards de-criminalizing marijuana. As usual, in my post I rant and rave about what a backasswards place Kansas is and how they could never, ever do something like that. As far as I am concerned, it is just too beat into people in this part of the US that ALL DRUGS ARE BAD. However, it's ok to drink copious amounts of alcohol even if you are a teenager, especially if you plan on driving.
The attitude, generally speaking that I have come across is this ( from the article ):
See, they see marijuana in the light of Reefer Madness, not for the benefits that it has. What's more, I highly believe that any legislator will avoid this bill as if it were the Black Plague.
As usual, I'm right. No need to applaud, just throw money.
Some legislator in Kansas has introduced a bill that will legalize marijuana for medicinal use. I'm not going to debate the medicinal effects of marijuana. It's just not worth my time, and I don't have the medical background. I'm a software developer you knuckleheads. However, I think this guy deserves a freakin' medal. He must have balls the size of pineapples. As much as I would love to think that the people in this state are a progressive bunch that will stand behind him, I know that will never happen.
"Let's be honest, this would be an attempt to legalize marijuana," Schwab said Wednesday. "It has no benefit for pain management. All it does is make you crave another bag of chips."

As is often the case, I spend a good deal of my day finding things that interest me so I don't have to spend too much of my time dedicated to work. After all, work is soooo boring. What a drag.You know what would be a really cool job though? Being the guy that gets to decide what an "acceptable level" of shit happens to be in food meant for human consumption. Yeah. That would be a great job.
Think about it. How many other jobs are there where you're not held responsible if the product of your work is a huge, steaming pile of shit? Or, if it contains shit?
We really like to throw that shit word around a bit, "Your work is shit!" or, "You do really shitty work!"
I once had a college professor tell me that an essay I wrote for a literature class was shit. Imagine the irony when I found out he died of colon cancer?
Seriously though, an article at The Consumerist relays the information that 39% of bagged salads have bacteria in them. Some of that bacteria is indicative of being contaminated with . . .
pausing for dramatic effect . . .
You guessed it, good ol' SHIT.
So, definitely do not eat salad straight out of the bag. Your best interests would be served by washing it before you eat - that is unless you have an affinity for sewage in your salad.
But it really makes me wonder. How can that much shit end up in our food? Why is it so impossible to separate the shit from the edible food? You'd think there were higher standards?
Imagine if a company started that had a 0% acceptable level of shit in the food they sold. Could they possibly keep up with the demand or have we become a country that can't function without an "acceptable level" of shit in our food?
