Who can tell us what the name ZZ TOP means? We have been puzzled by that for decades now. Let's see. What could that possibly mean. Hmmm. Some have suggested that the name refers to Zig Zag and Top papers. Could that be it, then? The first time we heard of ZZ TOP was in 1971. We were celebrating because some of us had birthdays which were pulled out of the hat with priority numbers like 281, 345, and 352. How many of you guys remember Country Joe and the Fish? "And it's one, two, three, what are we fightin' for? Don't ask me. I don't give a dam. Next stop isn'tViet Nam." Or how many remember Jerry Rubin? Willy Kunstler? These were the dudes, man. At least, they were once upon a time. Back then ZZ TOP didn't have long beards. It takes a long time to grow a long beard. But, hey do these guys have good taste in cars, or what? They bad. They Nation Wide. The Mamas and the Papas said it like this,
Things haven't changed much. Or have they now? Maine says right out loud in front of everybody, by a 69% margin, "Hey let's let your doctor decide." It's silly, but, it's a start in the right direction. And then there were sixteen states. Who's going to make it the magnificent seventeen? Do we really need to deprive people of voting rights for this. We guess we do because you know darn well how they would vote on this issue after spending even one hour in the can. As for the cost, it costs you $100,000/year to lock them up and take away their human rights. Sadly, the world has grown inured to this kind of outrage.
The citizens of Holland, British Columbia and the Canadian Association of Police Chiefs say that's nonsense. Although his reasoning is a bit obtuse, or abstruse, depending on how you look at it, his conclusion is spot on and we could do worse than to listen to William F. Buckley on this issue. Prince Charles weighed in somewhere to the left of center as well on this issue even before certain events which may have happened in the summer of 2001. Robert Mitchum, Barry McGuire, Elizabeth Taylor, Dan Ackroyd, Marry Hartman, Katsu Shintaro, on and on it goes. In fact the list of rich and famous who have been somewhere on the wrong side of ridiculous prohibitions of this sort has grown so long that a download of that list would take a very long time. A tennis star and a movie star were able to beat the wrap in France. What about other people? Many make a tidy income which is dependent upon perpetuating various forms of legalized injustice. Be advised, their days of collaboration with the mind police are numbered. Why? Technology. Be careful what you wish for, you just may get it. Technology will very soon reach the point at which any prohibited compound can be instantly detected with absolute certainty. Routine non-invasive scanning procedures will not require blood, hair, or urine. The methods will be specific, precise, infallible. Evidence will incontrovertible. Did somebody switch your weewee cup? Nope, fraid not. There will be zero room for excuses. Thus any person, including the rich or famous could be dragged through a process of legalized injustice. Anybody. Everybody. 1.6 million behind bars in Amerika, 60% on drug charges. Imagine twenty percent of Americans behind bars! Even five percent would be enough to bring the silly house of cards crashing down. Enter Cato the Censor, et al. You know, the bozos at the Cato institute. Can they play chess? They are paid big bucks to think a few moves ahead. What's their solution? Liberty. What a freaking novel idea, dude! Crosby, Stills, and Nash: "It's been a long time coming. Don't you know it's going to be a long time gone ...It's darkest just before the dawn.", but do the mind police want to mellow out and listen to them? Probably not. Has anybody got Dr. FeelGood's number?
People want freedom. People want liberty. People want justice. All over the land. All over the world. People want the mind Gestapo to keep their laws off people's bodies. There is strong evidence that things are tracking right and moving swiftly in the correct direction and away from the stupidity of criminalization. People can't allow goofy propaganda forever. The media is the message. The media message is loud. The media message is clear. A little history. Remember Reefer Madness? That's the media hype which started all this nonsense back in 1931. Was it a little better in the eighties? Remember the Friday 13th series? It was typical. Boy and girl toke up. Five minutes later they get their heads cut off with a chain saw. Pavlovian association. Not so subtle subliminal message, huh? Where are we now? Walter Mathau tokes up in a New York park with one of his black buddies. He lives to enjoy the rest of his day and the rest of his life. When was the last time you watched a movie in which somewhere, sometime, somehow the film maker hasn't worked in a scene in which someone is using Zig-Zags or Tops? Blatantly transparent social engineering. And then the big one. American Beauty. Everyone knows what a socio-political football the Academy Awards represent. American Beauty, five Academy Awards.
To members of the DEA Gestapo, the DEIs, Drug Enforcement Imbeciles. Be advised: your days are numbered. Read the writing on the wall boys and girls. Les jeux sont faits. Recent News And this one from Yahoo! Oddly Enough News Stories. Wild Bill Buckley. We loved to watch him on The Firing Line. How can our great American hero get so many things so goofed up and just plain wrong and still get this one so right? Maybe he writes his Op/Eds on his yacht while he is sea-sick. Who knows. Anyway here's the tail end of a piece he wrote last Wednesday, October 30, 2002. Some say if only Bush could mellow out on this issue, all his other transgressions would lose their importance. Because after a doobie, who would even care? It would all seem so funny. What do you think?
Where are the GERMANS on this issue? Way out in front? Where are the Swiss? Where is Britain on this issue? Better late than never, Brits have ostensibly given in to "common sense". It's a step in the right direction. But when will they drop the pretense and keep their hands off your stash? |
