I really don't understand...

Trump supporters. They're the type of people that don't wear masks during a pandemic, try to tell us that man-made climate change is a myth, and they would storm the capital if so much as anyone BESIDES TRUMP got elected into the White House. Now don't get me wrong, Joe Biden's no saint, either. No politician is. They're pretty much running the machine. But you have GOT to be the most ignorant of the ignorant when you think a person who has opened up his own university (which purportedly is a scam), has gone bankrupt several times over, and is in league with big business has your best interests in heart. He doesn't. He's a have, and 99% of the world's population are have nots. But Trump has a different name for us, he calls us losers. Pissed yet? Well you should be, that's the kind of person he is and he doesn't deserve our respect.

On an aside I'm trying to find a book Liz recommend to me when she was still alive. I don't remember the exact title but it had "Myth of the Dope Fiend" somewhere in the title, and I really wanted to give it a read. I've been looking for some good reading material. I suffer from insomnia, and I need a good book to help me shut my mind off, but it's also something I'm interested in reading just for the sake of understanding how things got the way they did. I want to educate myself on how the drug war came to be what it is. But my opinion will remain unchanged, and I still desire to end it. No good can ever come of substance control laws. Every time the law forbids substances, it fails. The prohibition failed. Some states are legalizing pot, and don't even get me started on Sharia Law, I had read that alcohol is forbidden under it. Ultimately people are going to abuse substances anyway so instead of trying to criminalize these people, we should try to help them if they're struggling with addiction, because if we're going to be honest, addiction is often our way of filling a void in our life, and in our society, pretty damn sure everyone's got one. Maybe I'll make the "why" the subject of my next entry.
