I like reality the way it is

Yay for sceptic webcomics!

A must-see of sorts, I think.

Of course, I must encourage you to watch as much TED videos as possible - these are a good stuff that really makes you think. 

As you can easily remember (because the post is right below this one), a week ago I had an unexpected guest. Well, apparently, it didn’t stay in my home for a long time, because I’m not too keen to keep wild animals away from the wild (even the wild of the city). And bats don’t make ideal pets anyway, because they sleep at day and hunt at night. Anyway, I released the creature the same day we pulled it from behind of the refridgerator. It seemed absolutely exhausted and helpless then, but twelve-hour nap and a bit of meat later the dude was flying all over my room, frightening my cat, which almost ate it the night before. So I let it out.

Anyway, it’s all memories now. Especially that part about the cat catching the bat. Only a week passed, and the evil hunter is reduced to a barely moving weak creature three inches from death who will certainly not reach Christmas. Well, who am I kidding, it’s only 50% my cat will reach September, which is something like two weeks away. The reason? Breast cancer, which developed because of the contraceptive medications we used because we couldn’t afford having several kittens every several months and selling them to kebab makers. Yes, we should have sterilized the cat in the first place. That was our mistake, and now the cat is paying for it. Sad, really. Thus, always sterilize your cat, unless you plan on having little kittens after some time. And always check out whether contraceptives of your choice don’t have unpleasant side effects (we find out that the contraceptives we used were cancerogenic after they were got a country-wide ban, yay!).

P.S. For some weird reason this post remained unpublished… Sorry! 

The funny thing about cold is the medication. Not “funny” as in “hilarious”, but “funny” as in “get high”. I don’t know what the producers of that drink put in the white powder you’re supposed to melt in the hot water, but I know that after I did so and drank the stuff, I felt funny for about an hour or so. Well, I didn’t start seeing hallucinations, but it was weird nontheless.

I will buy BlueTooth next week so I can get photos out of my mobile phone. And no, don’t expect a sudden flood of photos of me in drag. There are a lot more things in the world to take pictures of. 

As I found out, one of my friends started to read this blog occasionally. Of course, she read the interview and especially the second question, so you can guess she was quite… emmm… amused by it. Thanks, Joyful, for yet another girl that I will never be able to pick up :-/ I have to be more careful about what I write and who actually reads what I write.

Anyway, thus I came up with an idea that I should write something with absolutely no connections to sex, especially homosexuality, gender identification problems and other… emmm… amusing stuff. I admit I couldn’t think of anything for quite a long time, however, my train of thought finally hit something that I want to blog about.

One of my friends smokes a lot. A pack a day, to be more precise. If that doesn’t seem like a problem to you, then I should note that she also hasn’t reached the legal age yet. She can’t buy booze, drive a car and vote for the president, but she already smokes a pack a day. By the way, she can’t officially buy any cigarettes as well. However, we all know that theory and reality are different concepts.

Anyway, despite how much I’d love if she didn’t smoke or at least smoked less, I don’t want to talk about it. Instead, I got interested by the bigger picture of this problem. Recently I did a little research on Wikipedia about various drugs. I know that you can’t really believe everything that is on Wikipedia, however, the thing is mostly correct. Thus, I presume this chart is also mostly correct:

OK, seeing cocaine and heroine at the top right is not much of a surprise, is it? We all know both of them are highly addictive and have verydifficult impact on users health. However, there is something extremely interesting to the left of Cocaine. Well, looky here, it seems that the only two LEGAL drugs of the world are almost as addictive as cocaine, even though they aren’t as harmful. Ecstasy, weed, LSD - all of the stuff that we hear about when they want to frighten us with drug abuse in the news - are less addictive and less harmful.

This brings me a natural question. Why tobacco and alcohol are legal and others are not? Why two of the world’s most addictive and harmful drugs are legal, when plethora of less harmful things are absolutely illegal? Why is weed not legalized? Why are millions of people sent to addictions they will most probably never get rid off in their lives?

Because it pays off. Because junkies are a sure profit. Because legalizing weed would ruin multiple tobacco giants, as weed gives a better ‘high’ for less damaged health and less addiction.

I have said it once and I’ll say it again. Governments should make up their minds. If they tolerate alcohol and tobacco, then all the light drugs should be legal as well. Mind it - alcohol and tobacco are NOT light drugs, they are medium. Thinking from another stand point - if they don’t tolerate weed, they can’t tolerate neither alcohol nor tobacco.

As simple as that. I want either legal weed or total banishment of alcohol and tobacco from our lives. As it is now, it’s just not fair.

On another thought, I’d rather they legalize weed AND ban tobacco and alcohol.
