Lucky nobody was killed

Doesn't change the fact that using a swat team to raid several family homes, sticking machine guns in kids faces, over the sale of bongs is an utter disgrace.

According to the Bible, what group of people would Jesus put in a concentration camp until they die out?

Icould be wrong, but I think Jesus' support for concentration camps can be found somewhere between "judge not lest ye be judged", "love thy neighbor", and"let he without sin cast the first stone."

I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, but . . . .

As happy as I am to see New Jersey's criminal penalties for small level drug possession be eliminated, I'd rather see all penalties be eliminated altogether - especially considering the statements made by lawmakers.  In reducing the penalties for small amounts of marijuana to a small civil fine, Assemblyman Michael Patrick Carroll stated, ""Some acts harm society, and they warrant the intervention of police, prosecutors, and perhaps even incarceration. Other acts warrant, at best, a spanking.  The harm to society, if it exists at all, is de minimis" in these possession cases.

An adult shouldn't be subject to a spanking by the state, no matter how light, for doing something that doesn't harm anyone.  Period.

About time!

Though I think that rock & roll has done well in the face of changing technologies - and the electric guitar is unique in its ability to give a frustrated kid a loud way to be expressive - a new paradigm is long over due.

One good thing about Philly: it's great place to to be a junk food vegetarian

this article focuses on upscale options, but there are alot of solid downscale options, too.  blackbird pizza makes the best fake-steak sandwich.  there's a cup cake bakery in norther liberties.  and of course, grindcore house in south philly.  they're all great places to get some guilty pleasure food without the guilt of meat.
