MORE CHUCKLES

Over the past many years, I have read your "newspaper" for many reasons.
Usually, it's for a good chuckle or two-especially your feature articles.
Usually a hilarious drama of "The Man" keeping some "Poor Victim" down. "The
Poppy Paradox" was no exception.

I could not help but smile as Tom Dunbar and Jo-D Harrison, caught with
their hands in the cookie jar, wailed and moaned. The Man keeps harassing
you. How could they? After all, you were only growing poppies for "incense"
and the marijuana for "medical purposes." After all, you don't think "any
human being has the right to say what natural items on our planet are good
or bad."

Adolf Hitler was a natural item. The evil, bad, nasty police are even
natural items. Actually, anything you can touch, see, smell, taste, hear,
and yes even smoke is a natural item. Oh, condense this or that. Cook it,
mix it, run an electron or two throught it. Still a natural item. If it did
not come from nature, it would not exist.
