Very funny.
Hate to break it, but pretty much everybody born
after WW2 has indulged various "illicit substances"
and NOT as "experiments". Mostly the only ones
who haven't are badly defective individuals who
never had a single friend, were never invited to
a party - or members of a wacko religious cult.
In short, seriously ABNORMAL people.
Ya know all those STEM-types and 'artists' and
generally smart people we WANT to immigrate ?
Well, though oft nerds, they were NOT that badly
socially isolated or cult members. They DID party
at every op. Why, most had PREMARITAL SEX even,
even though that's still illegal in Idaho.
I have been to Idaho long ago when signs
still read "No Dogs or Indians Allowed".
I am old enough to remember "colored" entrances,
waiting-rooms, water fountains, shitters ... and
they were for-real, Big Bubba's enforced.
Really REALLY hate to agree with K, but it IS
time to kinda disappear a lot of that impossibly
'puritan' language from federal laws/regs.
Certainly.
Not sure if anyone ever WILL though ...
Which creates a legal limbo.
As ultra-partisan as things have become, any pols
to the "right" HAVE to stick with the current law
and "left" HAVE to try and tear all that down, even
if to a stupid/destructive degree. There is currently
no 'sensible center' in the USA - posturing rules.
But I wouldn't mind seeing Harry booted out for
OTHER reasons. Alas 'being a total asshole' is
usually not legally actionable :-)
"Total Asshole" is just the crust applied
by Noble or Royal upbring. More politly referred to
as "As to the manor/palace born".
Too fancy .... "total asshole" seems more accurate.
The Brits can apply what spit and polish they want,
worship their 'betters' as always, but Harry lives
in the USA now.
QE2 was a class act ... but the younger gens !!!
This is one reason why our hard-drinking
slave-owning ancestors rebelled against the King
of the UK and its exclusively noble Parliament
of the time.
They should have settled slavery first off, but it
would have been politically impossible to create
the badly-needed union if they'd tried. Politics
DOES sometimes (ok, often) trump principle. Gotta
try and please most of the people most of the time.
"Hard Drinking" - yea, but the Brits and Irish
are also well-known to get totally pissed on
a regular basis ...
