Wow! My first three posts - in a row. That's a personal best!

Well, I joined this board in October of last year and never posted until now. I had completely forgotten about this place, to be honest. So, I'm not trying to rack up the mighty post count!

Ok, after I finally stopped boiling, it occurred to me how stupid this is. Steve, you're an idiot. Why would I tell the world about your "phony clinic" when you don't even have that, anymore?

See folks, old Steve here got a little bit over-confident. What he did was completely piss off and alienate his doctor the night before clinic. Then, at about noon on clinic day, he completely pissed off and alienated his webmaster/programmer. That was pretty stupid, huh? Pissing off the two most vital people in your business - and not just a little.

So, what do y'all imagine happened next?

If you guessed "the programmer and the doctor both told old Steve-o to get bent" you win!

So, here's a real shocker now, folks. We're so GREEDY, we are forming a non-profit medical marijuana clinic that will charge $100, rather than $200+ - and we hope to drop it to $50, if we can. While we are at it, we intend to completely reinvent the patient resource center. I've had AIDS and Hep C since '93 and I wasted YEARS of my life sitting in an apt on social security staring at the idiot box and marking the days off the calendar. I was completely isolated, sick and totally without purpose or hope. I had no reason to even exist, except to consume and be entertained.

That is no life.

It's not death. That is true. But, maybe, in a way, death would be better. Life without purpose is hollow and grey.

So, here's what I want to do. I don't want one more person spending one more day alone in pain with their only human contact coming from Maury and Oprah. I want to create a place where we do arts and crafts and we teach classes about pottery-making or hemp jewelry-making or underwater basket-weaving, for all I care. I could teach a web design class a couple of days a week. Lisa, my 83 pound damned near dead wife, can teach a lot of different stuff. We'll keep the doors open by selling convenience store items and craft supplies and grow supplies and all that jazz.

It's obvious what the government will do to help us and it's even more obvious what people like Steve are in it for. So, it's clear to me that us patients and our doctors need to look out for ourselves - and screw the government and all the two-bit con artists out there. They can all go to hell. We'll just look out for our own and the world full of Steves better sit up and take notice. The clock is ticking on their asses. They're through!

And that, people, is how the cow ate the cabbage.

End of story.

And Steve, back off!
