Would you consider it degrading to say that Shinto is a tree worshipping religion?
What in particular do you feel is degrading about revering a plant second only to rice in importance?
I'm sorry, but from my perspective it is your attitude that that degrades Shinto.
Hemp earned its worship and deserves it. Perhaps you need to step back in time a bit, to a time when no one had yet even considered the vilification of hemp, and reconsider your indignation.
The US began funding those French fires as early as 1947, simply driving more and more people into the camps of the communist revolutionaries, making the whole idea that the Vietnam war was in support of democratic self rule in Vietnam a bit a joke to the Vietnamese, who also had memories.
Funny how people have a very keen sense of being the pawns of hypocritical self interest.

You're not Shinto, are you? It's a hemp worshiping religion. Mary Jane incense, dude. Banned under martial law by an occupying "democracy" promoting noninterference in religous practices. People have been incarcerated and even died over it.

I don't recall voting on the issue. They did in California. The republic takes issue with democracy, as, I believe, it should, so long as that issue is directly invoked by the Constitution.
When I get in the mood for feeling sorry (it happens) it's for her. She still can't listen to Blue Christmas without crying. I've had to take custody of the family copy of Elvis' Christmas Album.
I have two, two, two recessive genetic diseases, one of which has the potential to kill me (and always makes my life rather difficult) and the other of which will certainly kill me in time. I have lived much of my life in pain and discomfort.
Life is suffering.
Nonetheless, today the sky is a remarkable shade of blue, the sun is warm, but not too hot and the air smells of summer. I have been sitting down by the river where there is a nice breeze blowing and playing violin much of the morning. I like playing violin.
Life is also the only blessing you will ever receive, and if all it offered me was today I would take it rather than have nothing.
I see no point in self-inflicted psychological suffering when it is just as easy to play violin. I feel sadness for your father, but because he created his own tragedy needlessly.
My father made it out of his twenties, but only just. Rheumatic Fever. There was no such thing as a heart transplant at the time.
Life is suffering; and then you die. If parents never had children to prevent them from suffering and death there wouldn't be any parents in the first place.
Get thee hence and buy the best pizza in town. Enjoy it.
My father died when I was one year old. He knew he was going to die. My mother knew he was going to die. I am not an accident.
I do not consider my conception reprehensible behavior on the part of either of my parents. I'm rather glad to be here. Thanks mom and dad. The weather is lovely today and I'm angst free about the whole thing, no matter how unfasionable that may be these days.
My mother is rather glad to have me here as well, as was my father's mother before she too passed on.
I am something of him for them; and as I am half him he can hardly have "left" me.
So you've just shifted the electrolysis problem further upstream. ..
For your own protection. ..shhhhhhhhh!
For some reason people who have been taken in by a bit of slight of hand like to get nasty at the person who reveals the scam and not the scammer himself.
The BBC article uses the term 'Definative' in their story. The scarce quotes are theirs. They are apporopriate. The NY State Court of Appeals is not the final authority on issues of copyright, as it is Federal Law of a Constitutional nature.
One would hope that Naxos would pursue this to the appropriate Federal level. The Constitution is explicit that copyright is a limited priviledge granted by act of Congress.
One cannot abridge the First Ammendment by common law. Captial has no rights to defend, because they are not the rights holder, they are the former rights holder. "The People" now hold the rights.

All things have Kami, whether they are alive or not, and are worthy of reverence.
However, there is Kami and then there is Kami. The Sun warms us; and with the air and the rain creates life from the earth.
Rice feeds us.
And hemp clothes us.
These are great Kami.

It's not an echo: it's the same creeps, with the same playbook. . .
For those of us who doggedly persist in being "reality based" the surreality of the current reality is sometimes a bit much to bear.

Yes, the ceremonial aspects are important. . .

i.e., hemp is worshiped.

But that also means that you're looking at this from a skewed perspective.
Of course. But that was the perspective given me, that of Sarah Doohan, who, like myself, exists, without a living father.
And wouldn't birth control be kind of wrong, because "think of all those unborn children"
No. I said nothing that logically impacts the choice to not have children. I defended choice.
