They should move the rally underneath the Viaduct.

This post is specially for you, Olo:

"The more obvious the failure becomes, the more shamelessly they exhibit their genuine motives. In plain words, what moves them is the psychological aberration called sadism. They lust to inflict inconvenience, discomfort, and whenever possible, disgrace upon the persons they hate, which is to say: upon everyone who is free from their barbarous theological superstitions, and is having a better time in the world than they are."

—An extract from "Notes on Democracy" by Henry Louis Mencken, written in 1926, during alcohol prohibition (1919-1933):

Cool, but are they going to enforce the law as it currently stands; no public display or smoking of Marijuana? Me thinks not. Why have these laws if they can be arbitrarily overlooked by politicians and the police?

to the person who called cops "pigs," this guy in my opinion is acting quite brave and showing that not all cops are "pigs" so for you to use that generalization hurts the cause, don't you think? We don't want them lumping us altogether in some negative light. Let's not do the same to them. Peace.

This is Funny and the City's Finest "Dopes" will be speaking- every pun intended. Ironic what we place our Rights and Values on- Sex, Drugs and Rock-n-Roll.
