Marc Emery: A Class Act
August 14, 2005 · By Peter Rempel
Lest my last post on Marc Emery be construed as a wholesale defense of the man, allow me to re-post some thoughts from the Prince of Virtue on the relationship between drugs and gettin’ some. Turns out Emery has a real pedagogical side to him. Unfortunately it’s restricted to, “‘How I Got Laid” (via the invaluable Kate McMillan)
Drugs that are good for women to enjoy & heighten the sex act:
#1 2C-B. This will,make her an incredible sucking, vibrating, bouncing, pleasure seeking fiend for 4 – 5 hours straight. Absolutely 100% goddamn right. ITs a single-ring amphetamine molecule related to MDMA, its a phenylathelamine, but goes right to a woman’s ‘F**K CENTRAL CORTEX’. Its awe inspriring. We should put it in their food. Daily.
#2 Alcohol. Except for 2C-B, this is still the working class reliable for lubricating a woman’s desire, libido and willingness.
#3 Hashish. Good hashish makes women more able to have orgasm, more of them and more exciting ones.
#4 Cocaine. If you want to f**k her ass, this is ‘deriguer’ (fancy french meaning the girl has GOT to have it)
.
I avoided the explicit chatter. Visit it yourself. But one thing is for certain: Marc Emery no stand-up guy.
When refering to Kate McMillan does the “in” prefix on invaluable mean the same as the ‘in’ prefix means on the word infamous?
Looks like today is smear Marc Emery Day.
Does Marc Emery claim to be a ‘Prince of Virtue’? Emery isn’t an elected official, does he have to be virtuous?
Emery is a Judas Goat. How about Pope John Paul II. Where was his ‘virtue’ when he embraced Yasser Arafat and kissed the Koran?
I know virtue isn’t a word you might want to use to describe an athiest like, say Kate, but just because her only vices appear to be show dogs and motorcycles doesn’t mean she has any virtue herself.
Let’s talk about Marc Emery. Many prohibitionists say he deserves the US penal system for the rest of his life because he sold hemp seeds across the international border, thereby ‘poking’ the US government in the eye.
I want to say that marijuana, although illegal in both Canada and the US, would have been legalized long ago in Canada but for the fascist US bully who would destroy our trade. There never was a case made for prohibition in the first place. NEVER. The continuing enforcement of the marijuana prohibition laws are contingent on the economic and political value of the War on Drugs itself. Sheer momentum.
Society is a compact of trust and dependence between the rulers and the ruled. Marijuana prohibition is deleterious to both sides of the equation. This legislation causes the rulers to make criminals of otherwise righteous citizens, and causes those citizens and their families to view the political establishment and law enforcement with hatred and contempt.
The huge gap between the street cost of marijuana and it’s intrinsic value,(it’s a weed) means the drug war can never be won. It’s simple economics. Marijuana can even be grown in nature in Siberia.(the US jails 300,000+ people every year for marijuana)
Back to Marc Emery. I hope Marc Emery is extradited to the US. In the United States he will be able to do what no American could do, fight and win this case. Marijuana prohibition exists only because the US forces the rest of the western world to keep it illegal. The marijuana laws in the US violate about five of the constitutional garantees which can be invoked for Emery’s defense. Americans cannot fight and win in the US because of the confiscatory legislation built up around the marijuana prohibition. Americans who buck their own government on these laws will lose their jobs, homes, cars, bank accounts, as well as their liberty.
I, personally, will contribute money to Emery’s defense if he is extradited.
Tens of millions of people have been imprisoned in Canada and the US over the last 70 years because of these fascist laws. In the US, when an individual is convicted for possession of marijuana they lose their right to vote for the rest of their lives. Yes, thats right, in the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave, these people are completely disenfrancised. Some democracy. Both George Washington and Thomas Jefferson cultivated marijuana.
The Marijuana Prohibition law in the US Congress took 1/2hour to pass during Franklin Delanoe Roosevelt’s first presidency and passed on ‘tellers’ without even a vote. The people who passed this law were born in the 19th century and their guiding philosophy was Eugenics. These legislators, in both Canada and the US, admired Adolph Hitler who was a contemporary and hadn’t yet threatened their own regimes with war. During the early 1930s these Liberals in Canada and Democrats in the US had in common with the Nazis in Germany; belief in Eugenics, Anti-Semitism, Socialism, and an elitist world view which held grassroots democracy in disdain.
Marc Emery may have no recognizable virtue, but if he can, through his trial in the US, put an end to this evil multigenerational prohibition, he’ll be a real mensch. A standup guy to me.
Give me a break. I just thought it was funny.
Yes, Peter, it’s funny that people spend their too short lives in jail because of oppression. Tic tock. Is it tommorow yet?
Sometimes, they’re raped and get AIDS, sometimes they’re shot trying to escape like David Milgaard was. But mostly they don’t have what the rest of us take for granted. Liberty. Haw haw. Maybe I’m wasting my time.
Marc Emery is a political prisoner. Maybe not as funny as Anne Frank, but hunted by fascists just the same.
The point of the matter is he broke another country’s laws. If we are truly a nation that respects others, then we should also respect the laws of other country’s – regardless whether we agree with their laws or not – no different then if someone was transporting illegal guns across the border into Canada – almost the reciprocal viewpoint in attitudes on the two subjects
Legalization of pot and liberty don’t necessarily go together. It’s in the interest of tyrants to keep their subjects stupid and distracted by their private pleasures. Getting upset over the criminalization of pot is more a sign of servility than a love of liberty.
Instead, decriminalizing pot is a matter of prudence, and whether one judges criminalizing something so servile to be worth the bother.
Tom, accepting that people should meekly allow prohibition when no case has ever been made for that prohibition is, indeed, servility.
Are you really arguing it’s more bother to let people have their God given liberty than to arrest them, and try them, as well as building and staffing prisons?
I agree that it’s “in the interest of tyrants to keep their subjects stupid and distracted by their private pleasures.”. That’s why the government uses so much of our tax money for NHL hockey, CFL football, and the Olympic games.
You do remember the 2000 federal election, don’t you Tom? That election was on Monday, the day after Grey Cup Sunday.
I’m sure there were a LOT of white Anglophone Canadians too HUNGOVER from their Grey Cup parties the day before to bother voting. The demographic that votes conservative has a lot in common with the demographic who watches hockey, and particularly football.
Should sports fans be thrown in prison, Tom?
The Liberal media, especially the CBC,(hockey night in Canada) really crowed about how clever Chretien was to pull an election right at that time.
Bread and Circuses citizen, Bread and Circuses.
“Yes, Peter, it’s funny that people spend their too short lives in jail because of oppression. Tic tock. Is it tommorow yet?…Haw haw. Maybe I’m wasting my time.”
Stop being a self-righteous dork.
I am sorry.
Sorry Speller. There are plenty of other infringements to get upset over, which ThePolitic.com documents.
Pot’s not one of those issues that’s worth getting upset over.
