Hey. Sorry for not posting and for being a lazy stoner.
Ok - so heres my theory for government. I am blazed right now so excuse me if I'm not at my most coherent.
Yin Yang - the ancient chinese philosophy that the world needs a balance of good and evil. I think I agree with this. Heres how i put it: appreciation is reliant on the converse. By this i mean that in order to appreciate something you must experience its opposite. If you were never sad you would never be able to experience happiness, do you see? For if you were always feeling good then you would not in fact be feeling good but merely average, the norm. Experience is about peaks and troughs. You take the good with the bad and just roll with it. But forgive me, im getting a little bit hippy surfer with this. Dude.
So you need to have both good and bad so you can compare the 2 and be comparably happier/sadder etc. How does this relate to government.
I believe that legal organisations police etc should work with crime gangs. This would I believe if done properly enable almost total control of crime. A criminals guild almost. The police tolerate the crime gangs and in return the crime lords regulate the criminals. Im not gonna go fully into the ramifications of this cos i want you to have a think about it, but i can see at least a few ways that crime could be reduced using this system.
Sweet dreams. xx

Rejection of accepted thinking
I'd like to start off by saying sorry for the lack of recent posts. I promise that will change, as I've just managed to throw off the shackles of the esso petrol station - almost. They give you a shitty tie to wear but in return they take your soul. For some bizarre reason I've agreed to still work there on Sundays - I think there may be a mild amount of brainwashing involved. So I'm pretty much free now - looking for agency work, trying to get some comedy written and practising grade 6 guitar. Looks pretty easy so I'm gonna do the grade 6 exam, then the grade 8 and hopefully start some teaching.
So anyway - time to reject some accepted thinking. Also, allow me at this point to apologise for my excessive hyphenation - but I'm pretty stoned and I'm digging it right now.
I would like to call into question the socially cemented concept of authority. I have to be honest, authority confuses and somewhat frightens me.
The very idea of authority (as opposed to superiority, an idea I find no inherent fault with), the idea that there are people or systems that you have to obey without question - is an idea that I find nonsensical. It completely goes against a natural right so completely lodged in my whole being that I would die to protect it - freedom of thought. Freedom of thought is the one thing that no-one; ever; anywhere; should be able to take away from us.
We should always think for ourselves and not be told what to think - not by anyone. If someone tells you to do something, you should always question it. Of course, there will be people in positions of responsibility, such as police officers, whose opinions must be given some weight, but I would go as far to say that people in those positions who assume authority over people are in fact abusing their responsibility towards them.
It is only by questioning that we can ever learn, and I urge that we continue to question and to learn; in any situation, and from any experience.
And of course, you should question everything that I say as well. I consider myself to be a protector of intelligence, but I am certainly not its master.
On that note, I will soon be posting an article in opposition to my previous article arguing for the legalisation of all drugs. What, you thought I was just gonna give one side of the story and leave it at that? Well, like a great friend once told me: leave your preconceptions at home. There is never just one side to any story. Remember - truth is absolute but knowledge is subjective. And fuck it, I'll do a post explaining that last sentence as well in the next couple of days - it will be sick***

Fearlessness
I have often thought that fearlessness was a quality to be admired. Today I realised that I was wrong.
If you have no fear, then there is no value to your difficult choices or actions.
Bravery is about overcoming fear, therefore if you have no fear you cannot be brave, just neutral.
If you are not afraid of doing something and you do it, well that's fine. But if you are afraid of something and you go ahead and do it anyway - then that's courage my friends.
Thanks.

Bush Rape
I just took a pleasant stroll into Swindon town centre with a tenner and came back 1.7 grams heavier, or about 1.4 grams if I know anything about Swindon, which unfortunately I do.
On the way back I encountered two people dressed as a kangaroo and a koala bear, something to do with promoting the australian bar Walkabout. Strangely enough, all I could think about as I passed them was what I would do if they raped me.
Imagine that:
Hi, I'd like to report a sexual assault please (pretty calm for a rape victim I know, but I like to think I've got good composure).........
Description? Yeah one had a bushy tail and powerful thigh muscles - the other was incredibly cute but rather violent and had sharp claws........Ethnic origin? Um, ...... marsupial?
[click]
Anyway, I've lived to see another day with my anus intact. And, as I always say, each day you do that you can give yourself a pat on the back. Nice.
