....All drugs should be legal. War is wrong. The rich get richer. The poor get poorer. Thank you. I'll be here all week.
If ur going to have a war on drugs, have them against ALL drugs, including alcohol, the number one offender.
Our next Cold War ought to be with ourselves...After all, who poses the biggest danger to the American environment? We do.
You know we armed Iraq. I wondered about that too, you know during the Persian Gulf war those intelligence reports would come out: "Iraq: incredible weapons - incredible weapons." How do you know that? "Uh, well...we looked at the receipts."
The war on drugs to me is absolutely phoney, its so obviously phoney, ok? It's a war against our civil rights, that's all it is. They're using it to make us afraid to go out at night, afraid of each other, so that we lock ourselves in our homes and they get suspending our rights one by one.
The whole image is that eternal suffering awaits anyone who questions God's infinite love. That's the message we're brought up with, isn't it? Beleive or die! Thank you, forgiving Lord, for all those options.
I'm sorry if any of you are Catholic. I'm not sorry if you're offended, I'm actually just sorry by the fact that you're Catholic.
I believe the cost of life is Death and we will all pay that in full. Everything else should be a gift.
Speaking of Satan, I was watching Rush Limbaugh the other day.
Be yourself on stage. Nobody else can be you and you have the law of supply and demand covered.
Surgeon General's warning ought to read: Smoking has been determined t0 cause cancer, heart disease & rednecks with seniority.
So scary watching the news...Like Iraq...could ever under any stretch of the imagination be any threat to us whatsoever.
Been on what I call my Flying Saucer Tour--appearing in small Southern towns--in front of handfuls of hillbillies.
And I'm not getting laid! What am I doing wrong?
