53KKtr6 Something I Think Kids Should Know (&& Adults Too)... Drugs (both legal && illegal) are essential to life. People have been voluntarily engaging in the consumption of mind-altering substances since anything was voluntary. Alcohol && Marijuana && Caffeine && Cocaine... && Food && Air... we all consume stuff that changes us... some slightly... some dramatically. When we know what it does && we choose to ingest it, it is our free choice to make. Nobody can deny us that... however the parenthetical in the first sentence is the interloper. The coercive governments of the world wish to pass laws to make free choice illegal. They want to take involuntary tax-payer money to fund propaganda. They buy commercials to advertise the excitement to be had by joining their military initiators of force. They buy commercials to tell you how bad drugs are. They want to force you to do what they say. The governments are the slave-drivers. They are backed by their military might. Now they are mildly benevolent today because enrollment is voluntary but a draft is the opposite of freedom. If people believe in the patriotic need to defend their territory, their worthwhile way-of-life... then by definition, you won't have to force people to participate if your collective military cause has merit. It is about freedom. Be free. Take drugs when you feel like it. You already do. Just allow yourself to understand that everything has its place... including anything you or someone else labels "bad". Indeed the very present manifestations of government have their place right here even though I && many others label them "bad". Hopefully more people will awaken to the possible communal human understanding of freedom... without governments or borders. A world we all share. Violence relegated to voluntary participation, fantasy escapades, or freak accidents. Maybe the "freak" is melodramatic. Wooo! hehe. *poof* like that. What do you know? Do you live by the sword? Do you live at all? I am stoned! && drunk. && high... Do you feel me? I fly. Haha... let me come back down && touch base again. =) So I guess you noticed I included freak accidents (or just accidents if you prefer) && well... they don't deserve inclusion because they are already part of the voluntary participation group. You see... I'm sorry to patronize you about this but many people just don't quite grasp this utterly basic principle... you see, an accident is par- for-the-course. You know that crossing the street is dangerous yet you do it. You know that drinking makes you drunk. You know that riding motorcycles is more dangerous than driving SUV's. You know that guns can kill people. Be responsible for yourself as you see fit. That's all anyone can ever do. Governments that don't tell people how to live are better than what we have. I look forward to when we all wake up together. I guess that means we all sleep together. That means we both make love && get rest. That means I get carried away in silliness. Do you follow? Time for another drink... another hit... another tab... another breath. Live free. I could pull it back in again ("tag") but I'll let it hang out. Recognize the ebb-&&-flow... of life. Play. Go at your pace (which may well be shared voluntarily with someone else). Have fun. Don't live dead. Die living! Such is my aim. Oh so there's no difference you might say. You'd be right. That goes back to the accidents. An aim is necessarily arbitrary. Mine is different from yours but maybe there will be magnetism... maybe there will occur a radical change... or a glacial one. Uggh. We could go fast together. But how arbitrary... 55 miles-per-hour or how many X are ok for Y? Who should decide? The one who's there knowing that they impact the interconnected web of humanity. The good && the bad we each seek every day makes what is all around us. We each shape the rest of the cosmos in the way we each wish to see it. We each make all these impacts... like every keystroke here. Do you understand now? We communicate our ideas && make our choices. Some choices have been forcing ideas. Those ideas are flawed. I can't do better than I can do... but I can't do worse either. Can you hear me? I'm trying to communicate with you. ;) I am a dork. I live at dorksville place in kaka-town. Can I buy you some poop? The man, the myth. Choosing to shape the universe tiny dung-by-dung... && dreaming that others can know they do the same. What a wild dream?! A wish. A hope. I am an insolent bastard. A mocker && a child. Banished to playing in whatever form it may take... yet shaping play to take whatever form. A side of a coin. A Yin&&Yang. A rising sun over an earth. Far enough away that it is small enough to cast a cylindrical shape of light && other energy onto our planet illuminating nearly half of our home. The energy we need && can't bear in large quantities. Could our earth stumble into our sun? ... Most certainly. Could this breath be our last? ... Well it wasn't but it could have been. We just do what we can. What else can I do? Do you have a good idea too? Excellent. I don't have to share but choosing to is sensible to me. The limits must be defined voluntarily && personally. Let my people go. The governments need to back down off the rest of the people. The slaves are the cotton-pickers && gears of the force machine but we have rumblings... unsettlements... altercations && incursions... we are forced to support the force but we're free to say we don't want to... How fscked up is that!? How widely can I publicize this? Would anyone care? I guess what matters is that I do. Maybe I'm wrong... as I have been wrong myriad times && lived to tell about it. I just try to be right... to find the truth whether common or unique... && share it however I can. Maybe that's playfulness. Maybe it's stonerness. Maybe it's gen-X-ness. Maybe it's trendiness. Maybe it's nerdiness. Whatever. It's just be you. Choose your path whenever you want to. Leave it whenever you don't. Play. Rest. It is the cycle. Of life. Live it. Teach it. Practice it. I guess you could add: Tire && Wake if you wanted to zoom in a bit. Maybe you play with yourself && maybe you play with other people. Feel free to do so. Maybe you need to work to facilitate play. Do so. Maybe you need to care about coercive governments to stop stifling play. Maybe you worry about being who you are. It's tough to do that. But it's those others that want to teach that. Don't practice stilting yourself unless your desires are to inflict involuntary harm. The only restraint called for is initiated offensive force. I'd say try not to throw tantrums here except that recalling whatever of this text I can, it seems transcribed excrement... that I thrash about as an infant wallowing in self-pity && struggling to find meaning in the meaningless. Struggling to orient myself && everything else. How ambitious? How grandiose? Full of yourself && full of others. Hypocracy. Idiocy. Insanity. Whatever dude. I'll go toe-to-toe with it. Even if I lose, I stood. I chose to stand. Choose to stand for honor, integrity, freedom, && cooperation. Be a modern samurai who protects people more than power or money. I guess also be the ninja assassin. Honor only exists relative to dishonor. Hopefully most will be samurai when they wake && choose. I am over-dramatizing this. Acting as if everything is black or white. Maybe I should. Maybe I shouldn't. Either way, that's my choice && I choose it. So it's a bit alarmist && only tempered by oppressive force. Force is only tempered by lack of funding. Sure, it's all along a spectrum of possible good or bad. Governments could be much worse. They could be much better. Same could be said for corporations && courtrooms. Same could be said for any individual... however I think the point is to grow all of it together. Interweave your way. Tie knots && loose others. Play in the web of life. Is it still hanging out? Oh sorry kid... you're not to see or know any truth until you're old enough to handle it. You must be shielded from the evil out there. Impressionability. Children are shaped as is our universe. Who will they choose to be? They will explore their playground. They will discover the benefits && ills of drugs && governments. Each have had their place in history but hopefully both can be confined to voluntary participation in the future. Free choice. Free ideas. Free communcation. Free software. Live free && teach others this way.
