GROW OP A SURPRISE

As advised by last week's editorial, CannaBiz was watched Thursday
evening. The only really surprising revelation was that our mayor has been
operating a so-called legal marijuana grow-op for several years. Yet, the
Gazette has never reported this!

Thus, we have the mayor, as well as one councilor (and perhaps at least
one other councilor) embarked upon a medical marijuana crusade.

How did our forefathers ever survive when times were really tough? If
anyone now thinks that life (including pain) is intolerable, then he/she
is an ignorant, whining, weakling whose ancestors have to be rolling over
in their graves!

This is the easiest, softest and laziest time for western humanity,
especially in North America - too much sugar, salt, fat, dope and
sedentarianism!
