You keep going on about folks being outraged and brandishing broken booze bottles and the like, and no one's doing any of these things. It's like you've become so used to saying "Yes Sir", or "Jawowl", or "Da, Tovarich" to the plutocrats that you conflate even the simplest disagreement with the inane crap Cheesypoofs spews.

Intentionally or not, you've XPT's de facto Minister of Marijuana. You can't seriously expect people not to give you shit when you say that folks blocking legalization for their own profit is low on your radar. That's like a Black fellow (not Tritone, an actual Black fellow) saying the same about racial profiling.
