»In which everybody smokes crack today

If I could coördinate this:

a smoke-out day in which everyone smokes crack. I really do not understand the Federal attitudes towards drug use and possession, and the criminalization thereof. WSB had it right, of course, and desperately exhorted officials to address the head of the pyramid -- the distributors -- rather than the ever-spreading base, the consumers.

Yet misguided drug policy, in this country and therefore in many others who depend on our aid, continues to aim at the base.

If we could distribute crack to everyone in the country, and defy the government to prosecute and incarcerate all of us, we could show 'em. Or we could at least unveil the purveyors and distribution system, and the guv'mint could throw them all into the slammer, and we would have streets free from crack (and the steps to our apartment would be forever free from those irritating small vials).

Next: the whole nation tunes in, turns on, and drops out: Acid For All.
