Bobo vs. the Internets

David Brook’s latest column about marijuana has released the snark from all corners of the Internets:

Vanity Fair also takes a swing:

For a little while in my teenage years, my friends and I read David Books columns. It was fun. I have some fond memories of us all being uninformed and feeling superior together. I think those moments of uninhibited self-righteousness deepened our friendships.

But then we all sort of moved away from it. I don’t remember any big group decision that we should give up reading David Brooks. It just sort of petered out, and, before long, we were scarcely reading him.

We didn’t give it up for the obvious reasons: that his ideas were repetitive and self-evident; that citing a Brooks column at a dinner party is a good way to get yourself mocked; that young people who read Brooks go on to join the College Republicans and perform patronizing monologues about “elitism” that are themselves elitist.

David Brooks: Been There. Done That.

And then there’s the parody accounts:

Mr. Brooks is very lucky ‘South Park’ isn’t running new episodes right now, because oh what Trey Parker can do with this sort of material.

I mean Marijuana ruined David Brooks’ life so much that he went to an Ivy League school (IIRC) and he’s now a columnist at the New York Times. I would never tell a kid “Hey go out and try marijuana, it’s awesome” but at the same time, the scare tactics about the drug that Mr. Brooks embraces are far more harmful than marijuana itself.

David Brooks should be made illegal. Reading his stupid columns make people less than what they should be.

So, to enhance individual freedom, people should stay away from David Brooks.

From David Brooks op-ed

But, of course, these are the core questions: Laws profoundly mold culture, so what sort of community do we want our laws to nurture? What sort of individuals and behaviors do our governments want to encourage? I’d say that in healthy societies government wants to subtly tip the scale to favor temperate, prudent, self-governing citizenship. In those societies, government subtly encourages the highest pleasures, like enjoying the arts or being in nature, and discourages lesser pleasures, like being stoned.

He is exactly right. Apparently a lot of people need to grow up.

Thank You. Sorry but it’s a blatant double standard for society to have the mass commercialization of alcohol and tobacco and yet to make smoking marijuana a crime. Should people be responsible when they smoke pot? Absolutely, they should the same way they are when they operate a motor vehicle, drink a beer, etc.

I hadn’t heard of David Brooks before today. After reading his NYT column, I’m amazed at its stupidity. Does Mr. Brooks think that smoking tobacco should be illegal? Does he think it’s “less than morally-ideal” for smoking tobacco to be legal? Does he have any concept of the costs to society of Drug Prohibition?

In my opinion, the only thing worth noting about Mr. Brook’s column is how rare it is to read political commentary that’s sane, interesting, and informative. So much out there is pure garbage.

See, this is what I don’t get about people like Mr. Brooks. As I said, not only is smoking tobacco and drinking alcohol perfectly legal and acceptable in our culture but it’s massively commercialized. Can’t read a magazine, watch TV, etc without seeing an ad for booze or tobacco yet somehow marijuana is “less than morally ideal”. As I said, I’d never tell a teenager “Hey go and smoke some weed, it’s good for you.” But I’d never tell the same kid to go out and buy a pack of smokes or beer either. People should be responsible with the stuff no doubt about it but that doesn’t mean it should be illegal and that it was wrong for Colorado and Washington to legalize marijuana. I honestly think by scaring kids about drug use, we encourage worse abuses.

I’d challenge that pathetic right wing hack to find someone who actually thinks cigarette smokers should be imprisoned. There’s a big difference between wanting smoking cigs banned in public and thinking marijuana use/possession should remain a felony. And for the record, I have problems with some of the cigarette prohibitions too but the two are totally different.

I mean way basic cable. About 10 channels total. I call in and customer service after some fiddling with my new box says “Can’t get a technician to you before the 7th”

I say “if Direct TV can be here before then it’s an uninstall call for their tech.” A pause while a supervisor is queried, Then-We’ll have someone there no later than Saturday 3:00. I said fine I have a spare $20 for a tech if they make it today.

Actually I am still on the fence regarding the legalization of pot. I wouldn’t want to encourage it’s use, but taxing the crap out of it seems very reasonable to it’s legal introduction. I know I couldn’t handle pot, because I can’t handle alcohol. People popping oxycontin have been known to switch to heroin because it is cheaper. I don’t see anyone wanting to ban oxy.

I’m not. Legalize it, regulate how it’s sold using the Colorado model, and tax the shit out of it. This would not only undercut the cheapest, easiest source of funding for the cartels, but it would also clear bed space in prisons for more violent offenders instead of non-violent potheads. You could also use the tax money for drug treatment programs.

I think another one of the big problems with drug prohibition is that you’re enabling organized crime. I don’t think the Mafia and other syndicates of the 1920’s would have taken off the way they did if alcohol hadn’t been made illegal. Secondly, you also see a disproportionately high amount of poor, young, and minority oeople punished for drug use. Poor black kid get popped for marijuana possession. That kid’s life is going to be tough. He’ll have a hard time getting a job but if you’re like SC Representative, Troy Radel and get caught, you get a small slap on the wrist and are okay. Justice should be blind but sometimes justice takes the blind fold off and favors the more powerful. If we insist on keeping drugs illegal, we need to make the focus treatment rather than punishment. I say this as someone who lost a family member to heroin abuse.

I remember the first earthquake I ever felt. I had been stationed in Egypt, at the tip of the Sinai Peninsula, we were living in what were basically construction trailers divided into small rooms. When the wind blew hard they would rock a little.

My next assignment was at Ft. Ord in Monterey CA. Big huge steel / masonry barracks building. Wake up about 3 in the morning, bed is sort of rocking back and forth a bit. I’m thinking, “Man, that wind must really be blowing to move this building” and fell promptly back to sleep. It wasn’t until the next morning I found out it was a tremor. If I had know at 3 am it was an earthquake it would have freaked me out.

ESPN is obviously pumping serious money into 538.

Seeing that ESPN will be Nate’s home shop, suspect the focus will be on sports, but considering all that the mouse has it’s hands on; and the now competition with Fox Sports, don’t think Nate and his staff will be bored.

And Vinnie at Caesar’s Palace will be paying attention.

I’m not. Legalize it, regulate how it’s sold using the Colorado model, and tax the shit out of it. This would not only undercut the cheapest, easiest source of funding for the cartels, but it would also clear bed space in prisons for more violent offenders instead of non-violent potheads. You could also use the tax money for drug treatment programs.

There’s a market for non-taxed alcohol and tobacco.

There will still be a market for non-taxed marijuana.

I. I don’t think the Mafia and other syndicates of the 1920’s would have taken off the way they did if alcohol hadn’t been made illegal.

As I recall, Prohibition essentially created our Mafia scene in the 1920’s. It was one of the most-blatantly-violated laws of all time. And it’s not even speculation to state that our war on drugs has been exactly as hypocritical.

It’s all about creating a web of easily-violated laws that can be used to selectively damage the lives of anyone getting in the way of the authoritarians who set this system up. It’s deliberate and it’s garbage.

Anybody whining about marijuana being legal because of its effects on people does not even deserve a moment’s attention.

The effects are such that, even when illegal, people consume it.

Now take a look at the effects of it being illegal. If you want a close look, I would direct you to every jail and prison in this country, then I would direct you to Mexico. I don’t think they can recover from being a failed state until the war on drugs finally comes to an end.

Paranoids get real paranoid. Assholes get to be bigger assholes, weepy emos get more weepy emo, pranksters screw around more, artists go into image enhancement and that next creation, musicians get really into that lead they’ve been working on, readers read more…etc.

Whoever’s been drugging the tap water in the Acela, please just stop. Your efforts have resulted in complementary columns in the Washington Post from Ruth Marcus and in the New York Times from David Brooks.

I’ve now read both the Brooks and the Marcus columns. It’s a strange feeling to realize that the columns are from the New York Times and the Washington Post.

The columns are so thoughtless, so irrelevant, that they’re flat-out boring. The War on Drugs has spanned decades, and affected millions of lives. It’s touched our society in so many ways. It really is America’s longest war, and it’s not over yet. It’s amazing that Brooks and Marcus both managed to say so little about it.

Maybe this is how the War on Drugs ends, not with a bang, but a whimper.

It is the testing for “under the influence” that has been a problem with weed that I remember hurting the enforcement part. Things might have gotten better in detection, but I remember that there was a problem in that respect. THC gets metabolized in the body and hangs around for a long while. Trying to detect (like in a BAC test for alcohol) the amount in the system that was recently ingested has been elusive. And unlike most other drugs (alcohol, speed, meth, heroin, etc) that the body purges as soon as it can, the fat cells like THC and its metabolites. Hard to tell if it was recently ingested or had been stored 2 weeks ago.

If China had a War on Drugs, with all the attendant costs to their society, they might not be doing so well economically. Actually, not many countries can afford to spend the kind of money that we spend to fight peaceful marijuana use.
