What’s that noise? Oh, it’s the heater. It’s been a couple of weeks since it last ran and that has produced a much smaller gas bill from PG&E. And we even received a $25 credit for the time we went without a heater and had to use wood. Let’s see; a cord of wood was $270 and with $25 dollars off…it only cost $245 plus the regular bill for gas. Yep, right around $400. Should I add in the cost of my labor for gathering and cutting the ‘free’ firewood I used as well?
What’s new? I found this…
Alcohol is ranked much more harmful than the Class A drug ecstasy in a controversial new classification system proposed by a team of leading scientists.
Finally, there is some validation for my beliefs! But, do you think this will change anything at all? This report will soon slide back into obscurity.
“In the new system legal drugs, such as alcohol and nicotine, are ranked alongside illegal drugs.
The new ranking places alcohol and tobacco in the upper half of the league table. These socially accepted drugs were judged more harmful than cannabis, and substantially more dangerous than the Class A drugs LSD, 4-methylthioamphetamine and ecstasy.”
Socially accepted? That means that a great deal of money is made from the sale of these drugs. Much more money than that made from socially unaccepted drugs.
