Yes on the fact that there is intense lobbying from wood pulp paper people. Also yes on the fact that if we were outside in our garden smoking a bit of weed, eating a few shrooms, maybe a little bit of opium as well, we would NOT be going to the mall. Factor in the fact that resourceful people could and would produce all of these things at home for the purity of the experience, and you've got a major problem when you consider how popular "mallratting" or going to the ($8.50+) movies is with American youth.

Here's something I don't think anyone has really considered yet. I don't think its an issue of christianity not liking drugs, it's an issue of the US government REALLY liking christianity.

Think about it. Christianity is a top-down system with No questioning or debate and strict hierarchy. It has a built in set of rules/laws and its own judicial and penal system. What would the government love more? Not to mention the fact that this is all based on a repeatedly translated 2000 year old work of fiction that extolls the virtue of a supernatural being that lives in outer space and spies on what you do in the bathroom/bedroom.

The evidence for this is clear. Look at the 2004 presidential debates. Many questions were about "Faith" and religion rather than on the merits of the justice system or on foreign policy.

So now what we have is a debate about a repeatedly translated 2000 year old work of fiction that extolls the virtue of a supernatural being that lives in outer space and spies on what you do in the bathroom/bedroom (I like my description of that little book) instead of a debate about social contracts, checks and balances, etc.

Now, what happens when people are able to sit outside in their gardens and look into the face of whatever they choose to call "god"? Look up DMT. That is heavy stuff. Read some descriptions of experiences people have had while using it. Who would need to go to church and sit for an hour and hear about the glory of this heaven thing that you've been told about all their life?

If you can find your own spirituality in the privacy and comfort of your own home, why will you need to be sold the McNuggets of a franchised church operation that opened up down the street?

And if you no longer TAKE THE BLIND LEAP OF FAITH every sunday and believe shit concocted in a 2000 year old work of fiction and worship GOD AND JESUS, maybe you'll start looking more closely at what the Government is doing and no longer blindly and faithfully (patriotically) worship BUSH AND CHENEY.
