I Think Two Different People Can Read

Marijuana Gives Rise To Insanity -- Not In Its Users But In The Policies Directed Against It. A Nation That Sentences The Possessor Of A Single Joint To Life Imprisonment Without Parole But Sets A Murderer Free After Perhaps Six Years Is In The Grips Of A Deep Psychosis.

I Find That One Of The Most Important Things, As A Writer, Is To Just Show Up - To Just Stay In The Chair And Fight Through The Difficult Patches. As Long As You're At The Desk, And You're Willing To Fight It Out, Eventually The Right Words Will Come.

One Might Expect That The Families Of Murder Victims Would Be Showered With Sympathy And Support, Embraced By Their Communities. But In Reality They Are Far More Likely To Feel Isolated, Fearful, And Ashamed, Overwhelmed By Grief And Guilt, Angry At The Criminal-justice System, And Shunned By Their Old Friends.

The Way We Eat Has Changed More In The Last 50 Years Than In The Previous 10,000…. Now Our Food Is Coming From Enormous Assembly Lines Where The Animals And The Workers Are Being Abused, And The Food Has Become Much More Dangerous In Ways That Are Deliberately Hidden From Us. This Isn’t Just About What We’re Eating. It’s About What We’re Allowed To Say. What We’re Allowed To Know.

We're All Connected By The System, And We All Have To Be A Part, I Think, Of Changing It.
