The War on Drugs: Our Cultural Auto-Immune Disorder.
(1)
Sipping on beer #2 at 1425. Sip. Heavy microwave radiation last night has resulted is some sleep deprivation, but I'm still feeling good enough to drink some beer and have some fun. Time to reread last week... alright!
Sipping on beer #3 at 1440. Sip. Only 13 beers left after this. Sip. And CNN just had an interesting piece on MDMA as a treatment for PTSD. Now working on beer #4 at 1510. Not getting much done, but enjoying it. Sip.
I like Ouspensky's concept of 'Culture vs Barbarism.' The concept reminds me of the immune system's eternal fight against invading organisms. The immune system always wins until it loses. The recent piece on CNN concerning MDMA (aka 'Ecstacy') as an antidote to PTSD suggests that 'criminal laws' have infected our 'national body of law.' Many examples could be cited in that regard, Marijuana prohibition in particular. 'The War on Drugs' would be analogous to an auto-immune disorder, where the immune system itself has become the problem. (Kootch just waved, laughed, and said, 'Busy?' I waved the empty can at her. She brought me beer #5, jokingly complaining that she had to open the 12-pac.)
It's very clear, analogy-wise, that Our Culture can fix this HUGE auto-immune 'War on Drugs' disorder and become normal again.
