Art, as you see anytime you or any of us express even the slightest bit of caution towards people here we are immediately met with resistance to wisdom. Lots dont care, lots dont understand and are too macho to let any sensible caution into their minds. Many dont even read the post but feel the need to add their little rambles about how they dont believe anyone but likeminded freedom seeking partakers of the herb attend these boards. They label it paranoia and propaganda and dismiss it.
Those with a basis of common sense heed the words and appreciate the heads up and little reminders when they let slip. More often than not though, without reaching deep enough into the simple facts to extract the truth it contains, they complain of having been brought down , and buzz killed, etc, and spam a well intentioned thread with testamonials to their own imperviousness.
They simply dont take the time to read more than a few sentences before dismissing it all and moving on.
Perhaps they dont need reminders, perhaps they are too naive to understand, perhaps they just dont give a fuck about anything but their own buzz yet still claim to be part of a culture. These are the ones who are blind and cannot see the obvious.
Im not saying I subscribe to everything you say, but you say it with an intelligence and dedication I can respect and listen to and consider.
I appreciate your work and efforts for the betterment of the culture . We all benefit from each other...but only as long as we listen, share , and learn.
Just not everyone cares about that. They are the ones thanklessly catching a free ride on the backs of those who do care .
I am suprised at the amount of complacancy and flat out ignorance to the current climate for our culture . This board has all kinds, styles, and flavours of folks and only a large handful seem aware of the ground they stand upon. The other, well they are just floating on whatever cloud of smoke blows their way.

Peace.
