The future is coming at us like a freight train:
At a recent Seahawks football game in Seattle, Shy Sadis, 41, took a drag on a slim vapor pen that looked like a jet black Marlboro. The tip glowed red as he inhaled.
But the pen contained no nicotine. Instead, it held 250 milligrams of cannabis oil loaded with THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana.
“Nobody noticed,” said Mr. Sadis, who owns several marijuana dispensaries in Washington State. “You pull it out of your pocket, take a hit like a cigarette, put it back, and you’re done. It’s so discreet.”
The device, called a JuJu Joint, heralds a union that seems all but inevitable: marijuana and the e-cigarette, together at last in an e-joint. For years, people have been stuffing marijuana in various forms into portable vaporizers and into the cartridges of e-cigarettes. But the JuJu Joint is disposable, requires no charging of batteries or loading of cartridges, and comes filled with 150 hits. You take it out of the package and put it to your lips — that’s it. There is no smoke and no smell.
Sure, its illegal in most states (now!), but good luck enforcing laws against it.
seeing as there was a jayvee scout there some months ago,

We condemn and pushback against the oppressive regulatory state which attempts to prevent individual people from interacting with other free individuals in commercial and social enterprise.
Some called them property owners, others called them feudal lords. And the King ran a minimalist state was there just to provide protection for the whole racket.

OL,
I saw the WSJ link on the TFR. I'm going to have to dig into the statistics to see how much of the reduction in births to unmarried women is due to the success of the bounties paid by progressives in the Black Genocide Project. It would be interesting to tie the total of the Black Baby Bounty to the blackrabblematters nonsense so the public could have a clear understanding of exactly how much a black is worth to a progressive.

@10:33, you've noticed that narc. The Jesuits, especially the SA Jesuits, use the Gospel 'liberally', as in only when it suits their immediate political objective. I wondered what an SOJ Pope would do vis a vis JPII's crackdown on the Society's liberal use of Gospel; now we know.

Pascal incorrectly based his probabilities on atheism vs Christianity.
But it's not a binary choice, there are hundreds of Gods to choose from; the odds are against you.
To Allah, Krishna, etc., you are still an infidel.

As with the Donohue kerfuffle, I don't have a problem with the credible religious or moral leaders calling for treating religion with respect, in general, but with qualifications: First, the timing is not so great, as it ends up inevitably looking like blaming the victims. Second, distinctions should be made between a religion and its more insane practitioners, as well as their co-religionists who tolerate them. Of course I do have a problem with idiots with no credibility like Sally Kohn doing so selectively, only for Islam and not for other religions.

Dave Agema, Michigan’s RNC Committeeman, has a well-documented history of making inflammatory statements…. In a recent Facebook post, Agema re-published an essay from American Renaissance, a white-supremacist newsletter. The article, which Agema said he found “very enlightening,” argued that “blacks are different by almost any measure to all other people. They cannot reason as well. They cannot communicate as well. They cannot control their impulses as well. They are a threat to all who cross their paths, black and non-black alike.”

Bill Clinton helped sink his wife's chances for an endorsement from Ted Kennedy by belittling Barack Obama as nothing but a race-based candidate.
"A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee," the former president told the liberal lion from Massachusetts, according to the gossipy new campaign book, "Game Change."
The book says Kennedy was deeply offended and recounted the conversation to friends with fury.
After Kennedy sided with Obama, Clinton reportedly griped, "the only reason you are endorsing him is because he's black. Let's just be clear."

--But it's not a binary choice...--
It is for you as you seem an atheist. Given that, you are still on the unwinnable side of the equation.
In any event, using your argument, the odds are against every person so the question remains who is right in the end. I'll take my chances on not worshiping rocks, cows and nothingness.
If I am I'll be fine and you won't.
If I'm wrong I'll be equally as unfine as you.

There are approx. 200 countries in the world.
If any country that allows free travel offends enough of their citizens, that country will vanish due to emigration.
So political systems are self correcting in precisely the same way that libertarians tell us that the unregulated market is self correcting.

Those countries most likely to offend their citizens are precisely those least likely to allow free travel.
The vast majority of those, not surprisingly, feature some variant of socialism and virtually none a free market.
