I've Got A Feeling

I've Got A Feeling   

I've got a feeling that the United States military is conditioning us for an Iraqi type war. You need three things to go to war in America. First, you have to scare the shit out of Americans by telling them the enemy is going to destroy our American way of life. The Islamic State terrorists (ISIL) are helping our military do so by graphically showing the beheading of innocent people.

Second, the military has to convince Americans that the only way to stop the people who are going to destroy America is via war. Key generals in the military today and previous military generals are already saying we have to destroy ISIL and the only way to do so is to have American boots on the ground.

Third, you have to start and end the war with military volunteers. The mistake the military made in the Vietnam War was the draft. The military and the politicians convinced us the Vietnamese were capable to destroy our way of life if we did not stop them. However, after years of war the young kids who were being or going to be drafted shouted BULLSHIT! 

It was those kids that ended the war not the military or the politicians. They risked being put in jail by protesting the war. They risked being shot and killed by protesting the war. They risked losing their American citizenship by going to Canada and other countries. Their voice became so loud the military and the politicians had to say "UNCLE." 

The Iraq war started when we convinced the American people that the Iraqis had weapons of mass destruction. That scared the shit out of most of us. The military also convinced us that the only way to destroy the baddies was with boots on the ground. Lastly, the military only used men and women who volunteered to fight (no draft). 

Well, we all know now what a bad idea that was. The basic premise (weapons of mass destruction) was BULLSHIT and what did we accomplish - ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! The American people don't like or want war. President Obama will try his best to not go to war. However, I've got a feeling.


I've got a feeling that tonight's going to be a good night. My wife and I are going to our local bar and meet up with our friends. We will laugh out loud, dance our asses off to the fabulous singer and eat happy hour food that is specifically created to raise our cholesterol and take us to an inch away from having a heart attack.

After the bar, my wife and I are going to go home and make love like we did twenty five years ago. Yes, I've go a feeling that tonight's going to be a good night - tonight's going to be a good night - yes, tonight's going to be a good, good night - I've got a feeling.

 
I've got a feeling that marijuana is going to be legal in ninety percent of the states within ten years. It started with alcohol being banned. That ban was created by religious people, politicians and gangsters that didn't want to pay taxes or have competition. The reason prohibition stopped was because the gangsters were winning, more people were becoming alcoholics then before prohibition and the states needed the taxes.

The ban on marijuana is taking the same course. It was created by religious people, politicians who were convinced that everyone would get high and destroy our economy and gangsters that didn't want to pay taxes or have competition. There was one major problem with marijuana that wasn't a problem with prohibition. The drug companies, the cigarette companies and the alcohol companies are not sure how to make money selling Pot. 



Alcohol is hard to make. Even beer is a pain in the ass to make and so cheap it's just not worth it. Marijuana is a weed. Just get some great seeds, put them in some good soil where there is excellent sunlight and water them a few times a week. In a few months you'll have enough Pot to last you for years. How the hell can these companies make money on that?



The state's first decision was to allow stores to sell medical marijuana and collect taxes. Well, we all know that's bullshit. Anyone can get a prescription for marijuana. I've got a feeling the next step will be to stop policing marijuana (which doesn't work and costs the states too much money) and encourage the drug companies and the cigarette companies, etc. to produce and sell Pot. That way everyone wins.

The gangsters will lose their revenue stream. The companies will make money (who wouldn't buy a few joints for a dollar instead of trying to grow the stuff at home), the states will collect the taxes they desperately need and the police plus the Feds can concentrate on real crime. 

The end result will be the same as what happened after prohibition. No more people will be getting high than today. The rules for kids will be the same as for alcohol. Parents have the responsibility to educate their kids and make sure they don't do stuff they shouldn't be doing.

For the few who choose to get high (I'm not one of them), 

I've Got A Feeling that tonight's going to be a good night - tonight's going to be a good night - yes, tonight's going to be a good, good night.
