You know, thinking back on the nineties, I believe you're on to something. Have you considered a future in sociology? I mean, look at the dreck that people now make a decent living at with.

(I'm leaving that sentence as is for diagrammers).

A couple of times in my life, I managed some dozens of "direct contributors" (aka, the people that actually do work). It wasn't ever too difficult to spot the weed-users. Generally, they were the folks who <i>didn't</i> want to get into a knife fight over some bullshit. I was never able to officially select for cannabis-positivity, but our teams were really successful.

One serious indictment of contemporary business management is how it undervalues people whose recreational drug of choice is marijuana, compared to those who prefer alcohol. It's like they've never heard of a hangover.

Of course they're lying. We saw this with Nikki Haley six or eight months ago. Regurgitated anecdotes turn out to be bullshit.

"Plus, we don't feel like hiring clean and sober people over 40."

Corbett is a poster child for what happens when voting districts get gerrymandered to the edge of fucking hell.

Hell, most people have a hard time affording drugs even when they have a job.

Using tools = danger to self. Being tool = danger to others.

I still say it's the wrong way round.

That's from back in March. <a href="http:\/\/www.quinnipiac.edu\/institutes--centers\/polling-institute\/pennsylvania\/release-detail\?ReleaseID=1889" target="_blank">Quinnipiac</a> has a newer poll - Schwartz and Sestak are knotted at 15% in the primary polling (big field and a whole lotta undecideds, unsurprising for this far out), which I would tend to suggest favors Sestak if he chooses to run - he's said he wants to run for <em>something</em> but hasn't announced what yet; Schwartz is officially in for Gov. In the matchup against Corbett, Schwartz now leads 47-34 and Sestak 48-34, Corbett's floor hasn't sunk but his ceiling might be caving in.
