Freee the Weeed

A long standing persecution as everyone not gagged by the propaganda knows is that of cannabis - a harmless relaxant that is mildy beneficial medically ( asthma , glaucoma , migraine ) and a social good when compared to killers like alcohol, nicotine and caffeine though I use all of these things ; my point is relative treatment of them. When will the collective governments of the western world stop persecuting this harmless plant for once almost ousting the paper plantations revenue in the 30's ?? ( something still possible noting facts everyone amazingly doesn't know - 4.5 times more yield per acre than trees and 2 harvests per year instead of 1 in 10!!!!!!!!!! ) Is it that totally impossible for them to ever simply say "we got it wrong " ? It may actually give them something they lost long ago and look unlikely ever to regain which is probably a large part of the causation of todays frustration / angst / resulting crime increases; and that is CREDIBILITY.

Cyberspace
Apr 28, 1999

 One for Tomorrows World -
Can we really say cyberspace exists yet?? Obviously when data is between points and travelling through the net it is in "cyberspace" but that is still really just a huge network of storage devices with somethings existing momentarily inbetween but boards etc. still all at specific sites - Are we moving toward a network big enough to avoid this illusion and really become a cyberspace as Iain M Banks and William Gibson foresaw??

Motorcyclists are also severely persecuted by taxes and tolls when you consider we pay the same toll as cars though it has been proven that it would take 100000 cars passing to cause the same wear as 1 semi ( truck ) so consider a motorcycle that is not only lighter than a car but also uses the middle of the lane where you can visibly see there is no apppreciable wear unlike the twin tyre wear marks towards the sides.

 I am using a pentium 233 mmx sytem with 32mb ram,3.2gb drive, soundblaster 64, ATI 4mb rage pro and TV/video capture card - which is irrelevant unless you take my next point into consideration which is that I bought it from Carrera Tech. Now I work in network support and have a basic of pc builds and am sorry to say I have to urge anyone looking for equipment to stay as far from them as possible.
I had a modem problem and crackly sound ; their onsite engineer replaced my motherboard and messed up my interupt request settings ; the 2nd one they sent changed my sound card and gave the value or generic one as suddenly I had adjustments missing that I had made days before and was told I was wrong then the third one shorted my hard drive whilst fiddling insided with bangles and rings to suit Rocky and then the battle began whereby it was now said by him that my drive had been faulty when to that point it was the only thing fine left : To cut a long story short in 4 months I had to replace
power source , soundcard twice , graphics card , motherboard , monitor , hard drive , floppy drive , speakers and reload everything about a dozen times so please for the sake of quality in the world stay away from these charlatans with their incompetent staff and disgusting attitudes compounded by badly built unreliable equipment.
Otherwise love to all and keep the web rocking support warez of all forms and freedom of access like mp3 to the end.
