IVP,
     The one that burns me is the one that uses terms like our business=20
increased 200%. First of all 200% is not a doubling. It is an increase=20
of four times. Second of all is they don't tell you that last year they=20
sold 12 pieces and this year they sold 24 pieces. They make it sound=20
like they went from 400M to 800M. Yeah, right. Very rarely do I see=20
percent being used correctly. It is the number raised to the power of=20
the percent. 300% is eight times not a tripling.
     And yes you are correct about companies that sell cheap stuff that=20
people won't waste the time and effort to complain about. This is a lot=20
like our police department. If you don't report the crime then the crime=20
didn't happen. We have the lowest crime rate in the area but this isn't=20
because crimes aren't happening here it is because the police ignore the=20
crimes unless it involves a bigwig or someone just jumps up and down=20
screaming and yelling about it.
     Another one is this drive to legalize MJ. Somehow it is being seen=20
as a harmless drug. This is a lie. It is a very dangerous drug. In one=20
year there are definitive measurable and permanent changes to the brain.=20
In five years of constant and regular use the person is no longer able=20
to do higher math functions. Some people are loosing the ability to=20
speak clearly and concisely by then. The damage is wide spread and=20
permanent. it clearly shows up in a MRI. The whites, yellows, and blues=20
are gone. They have been replaced by orange, red, and worst of all=20
black. Black shows little or no brain function.
     MJ can not be used. It can only be abused just like cigarettes.=20
Alcohol can be used or it can be abused. Unfortunately most people now=20
abuse alcohol. MJ combines the worst of alcohol and cigarettes. MJ also=20
destroys the kidneys, liver, lungs, heart, and spleen. In 15 years it=20
does the same amount of damage that a heavy smoker and drinker does in=20
25-30 years.
     Also because MJ is being viewed as being harmless more and more=20
people are toking and driving. MJUIs, that is MJ under the influence,=20
now out number DUIs in CA. It is awful. The police are for all practical=20
purposes ignoring MJ violations.
     Our dictator Obama decreed that federal MJ laws in places that have=20
legalized it locally shall not be enforced by the justice department. It=20
is a crime for a law enforcement officer to ignore a crime that is in=20
progress. But the highest law enforcement officer in our country is=20
doing exactly that. We have already lost one generation to MJ and now we=20
are going to lose a second.
     Enough rant. I had to get this off my chest. My opinion and two=20
cents worth.
Thanks,
rich!
