'Dude, you're getting a Dell guy' arrested last night on Marijuana charge
http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/delldude1.html ^

Benjamin Curtis, the 22-year old actor who portrays the Dell Guy in those bothersome computer commercials, was arrested late last night (2/9) on a marijuana possession charge, The Smoking Gun has learned. According to cops, Curtis was holding a "small bag of marijuana" when he was popped on Manhattan's Lower East Side (at Ludlow and Rivington for you Gothamites). Curtis is currently being held in Central Booking and is scheduled to be arraigned later today in Manhattan Criminal Court. Curtis, who lives in lower Manhattan, was charged with criminal possession of marijuana, a misdemeanor. Bonnie Shumofsky, the actor's agent, said she was unaware of her client's bust when contacted this morning by TSG. (1 page)

We seem to think that drugs are only substances that are illegal. Just about everything is actually a drug when you think of it. Anything you put in your body affects your biochemistry including a bowl of mashed potatoes if you have insulin probs.

You get the Samurai Pharmacologist Award of the Day.

Only some vegetables are bad, baaaaaad, and those who consume the bad vegetables must be punished by isolation. Sad.

Vote Libertarian so Democrats will win.

Most people who vote for third parties want their candidates to win and they see very little difference between the other choices. The other parties have one big thing in common for those who don't support them, they both represent policies which that particular voter rejects.

The delusion that they might win comes from the dope they smoke. No wonder they want it made legal.

The people I am talking about are pretending to be conservatives, not Libertarians. They aren't conservatives, they are liberals. They say stupid stuff to make conservatives look like buffoons. Try not to add to the problems for conservatives if you are really one of them.

Libertarians or conservitive become marginalized when they start campaining for dope.

We have a Democrat in Whoming who has introduced a "medical" dope bill for each of the last 6 years.

Everyone considers him to be a Kook.

Nothing he says or trys to do gets any consideration.

Oh you mean campaigning for the re-legalisation of all substances and adherence to the constitution? You didn't answer the question I asked, why?

So if a substance is found which cures cancer but also makes one high is found, you would oppose it's legalisation?

Yes that is what I mean.

In Wyoming when most people hear someone say they want to legalize dope, they turn them off and do not listen to anything else they may have to say. They just consider they must be smoking dope.

A shame they are so shallow in Wyoming. Are they all like that? Milton Friedman must be a doper based on that.

Have you ever used dope?

First of all, dope does not cure cancer.

There are plenty of medications that make people high but are not freely available.

Both arguments are red herrings.

People who want the active ingredient in MJ can get it through a regular perscription.

They do not want medication, they want dope.

The Dell Dude could always try arguing in court that he was searching for a cure for cancer.

Of course I'm not opposed to finding a cure for cancer. What I am lampooning is your no-so-hidden agenda in asking the question. Let's get to the point: your question doesn't help you one little bit in your obsession to get dope legalized.

No, and I have never jumped off a tall building either.
