the RAVE act
THE RAVE ACT RETURNS
Okay here's the original RAVE act from the 107th congress:
S2633
a snip..
To prohibit an individual from knowingly opening, maintaining, managing, controlling, renting, leasing, making available for use, or profiting from any place for the purpose of manufacturing, distributing, or using any controlled substance, and for other purposes. bold mine
or go here to view the actual bill in pdf.
I certainly don't like seeing a bunch of kids rolling on E when I go out dancing but this act is just bad news. Why don't politicians get that education is the best tool against drug abuse? (and I firmly believe there is a difference between drug abuse and drug use.) and why can't we have candid discussions about responsibilty and drug experimentation with kids/people/whoever is interested. On one hand we (as a society) say eat, drink, and be merry (just give me that Rx please!) while lamblasting those bad bad bad drugs that the government deems we shouldn't be able to consume.
I also don't see how a club owner is responsible for people using in his club if the club's policy is no drug use on premises. And which clubs don't have that policy? or hotels for that matter? The law is that certain drugs are illegal, if you decide to use them or carry them on you, then you must face the consequenses even if you disagree with the law.
the above brought to you by the posters on mnVibe, go here and here to check out the discussion if yer so inclined.
a great article from citypages.com written in aug 2002, Generation Ecstasy Comes Down.

4 1/2 year old murder case put to rest in small town Minnesota
"authorities closed the book on the case of the 16-year-old Hallock girl who was killed as she roller-bladed north of town on a July night in 1998." from startribune.com. They missed one oh so crucial question in their initial questioning...what kind of car do you drive. They quoted, on the local FOX news last night, a friend of Cedergren's. The buddy said that after passing a billboard with Julie's face on it, he asked Cedergren if they'd ever catch the guy that did that. Cedergren said "he'll kill himself before they catch him."
ps. local FOX news guys, please please fill the hour time slot you have with news and not chit-chat. nice, and their link is down at the moment... bleh.

oh yea mickey D's
Now I remember why it's been two months since I've eaten McDonald's. bleh
Does anyone else nickname fast food joints? Taco Hell, Burger Slut, Scrubway......??
Anyway, since I've been living on a tight budget since mid-year, I've taken to eating less and less fast food. Which is probably a good thing but man, when I opened up that quarter-pounder I bought today, the smell was delicious! but, it's safe to say that I'll not be consuming any fast food burgers anytime soon.

OH CANADA!
or musicians from Canada I particularly enjoy listening to
my short list....
first, I give you Richie Hawtin or Plastikman. or as my roommate calls him, God.
A typical techno type then? Adheres to one of the stereotypes anyway, but despite the geek chic Canadian Richie makes some of the most potent, visceral and technologically advanced music you’re ever likely to hear
next, I present the band that should get some sort of award for having the sexiest voice ever in the history of rock-n-roll singing for them, Jeff Martin. The band is called The Tea Party. They are good. Trust me.
and last on this short list are The Tragically Hip. Great lyrics, good tunes and if you ever get a chance to see Gord Downie and the rest of the Hip on stage, go!

you know you're broke
when you find a who-knows-how-old cigarette in the bottom of a purse and you smile and thank the cig gods. *lights up*
when you gather all your pennies together and lug a three pound bag on the bus to the bank to get dollars.
when you 'treat' yourself to McDonald's for dinner.
