Seems the deaths of four RCMP officers is too volatile a place to discuss the issue, so, how about it?

I'm sure it has been covered here prior, but in light of these events, perhaps a reexamination is in order...

Words and music by John Kay

Starin' at the boob tube, turnin' on the big knob
Tryin' to find some life in the waste land
Fin'ly found a program, gonna deal with Mary Jane
Ready for a trip into hate land
Obnoxious Joe comes on the screen
Along with his guest self-righteous Sam
And one more guy who doesn't count
His hair and clothes are too far out

While pushin' back his glasses Sam is sayin' casually
"I was elected by the masses"
And with that in mind he starts to unwind
A vicious attack on the finest of grasses

Well it's evil, wicked, mean and nasty
(Don't step on the grass, Sam)
And it will ruin our fair country
(Don't be such an ass, Sam)
Well, it will hook your Sue and Johnny
(You're so full of shit, Sam)
All will pay that disagree with me
(Please give up you already lost the fight, alright)

Misinformation Sam and Joe
Are feeding to the nation
But the one who didn't count counted them out
By exposing all their false quotations
Faced by a very awkward situation
This is all he'd say to save the day

Well it's evil, wicked, mean and nasty
(Don't step on the grass, Sam)
And it will ruin our fair country
(Don't be such an ass, Sam)
Well, it will hook your Sue and Johnny
(You're so full of shit, Sam)
All will pay that disagree with me
(Please give up you already lost the fight, alright)

You waste my coin Sam, all you can
To jail my fellow man
For smoking all the noble weed
You need much more than him
You've been telling lies so long
Some believe they're true
So they close their eyes to things
You have no right to do
Just as soon as you are gone
Hope will start to climb
Please don't stay around too long
You're wasting precious time

Well it's evil, wicked, mean and nasty
(Don't step on the grass, Sam)
And it will ruin our fair country
(Don't be such an ass, Sam)
Well, it will hook your Sue and Johnny
(You're so full of shit, Sam)
All will pay that disagree with me
(Please give up you already lost the fight, alright)

When did "smoking the noble weed" become such an important crusade in our society. If you want to smoke weed, go ahead and smoke weed, just please don't make it out to be this "be all and end all" watershed moment in the great fight of the common man. Personally I don't give a flying fuck, I am a casual weed smoker, but I have never, nor will I ever, march to parliament hill, hold up a protest sign, or stand in a park with a megaphone clamoring about the injustices of the government in oppressing the potsmokers of our Nation.

For God's sake people, I think there are better causes to throw your efforts behind. The vast majority of the "free the leaf" movement are very much conscious of our environment and the harm that we do to it on a daily basis...I am not a member of Greenpeace nor do I take this particular cause as seriously as I probably should but for you regular "puffers" out there, why not dedicate your time and efforts into a Greenpeace or some other similar cause that might actually make a difference in our world.

Be all and end all?
Crusade?

Bob, get a grip.

If you get this bent out of shape over some lyrics written 37 years ago, maybe ou should consider getting stoned more often.

Perhaps I should have posted this in the other thread (and I think I will) as it's probably more appropriate there. It just seems that people get on board with a cause like this because it is the "look at me I'm rebellious" thing to do.

I have never heard that song before nor did I realize it was 37 years old...I'm just miffed by the legions of people banding behind what I see as a somewhat pointless battle.

Bob Goulet!!!
