And, due to your obvious condescension, I will inform you that WHILE smoking pot, I went to an Ivy league school, became a Class V whitewater kayaker, learned to play lead guitar and started and led a rock band, became a computer programmer - and made DAMN good money doing it, bought and paid for a house, became a MAster Gardener with over 1.5 acres of Shade Garden under cultivation, am an avid lepidopterist whose name is known worldwide for my work with moths, took care of my first wife who died of ALS, invented my own salable product, patented it, brought it to market and formed my own manufacturing company which now grosses almost 1 million annually, and am now working on becoming a fashion designer - all while smoking pot.
So, you can shove your "better than thou" attitude...cause YOU AIN'T.
Never got the hang of Jazz though....
In fact your post is EXACTLY what the article is talking about...but I'll bet you didn't even read it!!!
Ummmm . . . you've got me all wrong, friend. I was employing satire---I'm one of Free Republic's charter Looserdopians.
