Bozvotros's JournalI hate to admit it but I think you're right.
Living in America under Obama is a little like being an abused spouse who sheds her psychopathic mate and marries someone who no longer punches her in the face and molests her children. At first you're happy things aren't so brutal. You don't even care that he told you a lot of lies and hangs out with some of your ex's old friends. And, OK, sure, he fenced some of your jewelry for meth and booze and new clothes but he talks so sweet to you.
Believe me, I am not someone who thinks it would have made no difference if we would have elected McRomney or any other stooge the Repugs would have run. With the Pugs in the White House and the House and kind old Harry Reid standing between us and full fascism, I am giving the nod to fascism 10 to 1. But Obama has continued to disappoint and finally really irritate me. I am sick of having to compromise and capitulate to these sick fucks running the con game that is American politics. I am tired of being told to wait for things that should have come long ago or that this screwing is less harsh than the one we could have got or that something is better than nothing.
We are at war all right but it isn't with Al Qaida and the Muslims. (Good band name... I doubt it is taken.)
Two things have the pharmaceutical companies shaking in their boots
Legal marijuana which could replace 100 billion in prescription medications for antispasmodics, anti-psychotics, antidepressants, appetite stimulants, bipolar medications, glaucoma medications, pain medications and specialized medications to ease alcohol and opiate withdrawal, tranquilizers, sleep medications, AIDS and Cancer Drugs and many more we don't know yet. Once good old American know how starts discovering ways to control and standardize levels of THC and cannabinoids and which levels are most effective for which conditions, the big orgy of pharmaceutical profits will grind to a halt. We can't have that.
It would also lead to legal hemp which would crush cotton and polyester producers as well as paper mills. They simply will not allow it to happen and can and will spend billions to stop it.
The other thing is the electronic cigarette. 6 billion in high profit, low effectiveness nicotine replacement products would just dry up, along with two billion for Chantix, Zyban and other worthless and dangerous pharmacueticals. Not to mention the hundreds of billions in state and federal taxes they are soaking smokers out of.
