Felony court tomorrow for a case that began 2.5 years ago.  A tad of marijuana and an 18 yr old youth.  1/4 joint and rolling papers.  Egads what a crime. You who read this will be paying for the judge, prosecutor and jail should he go there beginning tomorrow.

Will my son lose his apartment?  Will he and his lovely girlfriend make it through this?  Will I be able to set the phones up such that we can speak with him between now and my next paycheck should he be sent to jail?  Will a miracle occur and he be put back on probation?  Those are the things that run through my mind tonight.

I can't travel with my job to be present at the audit next week because who will put money on commissary for my son should he be sent to jail?  There is no way to contact him until Saturday March 13th should he be handcuffed and jailed tomorrow.  I've asked him to talk to his brother and find out how commissary works prior to court tomorrow.  I will go as soon as he is booked and put money on his account for shampoo, etc.  We have to plan these things you see.

These are the things that you readers have dictated your taxpayer funds be spent upon.  I can't travel for work until this is settled.  I've canceled plans for visiting my sister in San Diego end of March as well so I can be here.  It is important you see.

I saw it on Larry King. Those with loved ones in prison.  They said it well.  The entire family is imprisoned.  It is true.  I'm preparing tonight.  It is important for those of you who read this that families such as mine are tossed into turmoil in the fight against the evil herb that has never harmed anyone nor killed anyone in an overdose.  This is important to you, so I will take vacation from my job, tell my boss that I can't travel next week and why, and we'll go into a holding pattern until we see what results from court. tomorrow.

Tell me my son should be perfect, and I'll wait for your household to fold from the burden of the taxes that pay for his bologna sandwiches and guards in jail.  Stick to your principles and we'll all go down together. That will teach those small time smokers of the evil herb and wicked women such as me.

I may have turmoil in my life because you readers have determined this is the path we shall take, but you shall pay out the wahzoo for stupidity in a battle you will never win.  10% of youth smoke pot.  Build your jails and sign over your firstborn in taxes.  You'll win this battle no more than the prohibition battle because it is stupid.  Pot is not heroin or meth or oxycodine.  It is no more harmful than alcohol or cigs.  We'll play the game though.  I just want you to share it with me tonight.  Cheers:)
