I have always liked Woody....especially his outspoken defense of cannabis common sense.

I did not know that he possessed Luddite tendencies.
IMO, counterproductive to reform because irrational and inaccurate attitude toward the profit motive.
Without a profit motive there would be no Woody, and no computers with which to view this video.
Our current standard of living, and the very ability to grow premium Buds indoors, any time of year, comes to us largely due to this dread profit motive.
IMO

there is nothing wrong with a profit motive. every individual wants to better him/herself and lets be truthful, money control the free market. we have passed the point where the barter and trade system would not work anymore due to a new hummer that you want or that million dollar home. the problem arises when people will do anything to acquire the all might dollar including murder, theft/espionage, and trampling people to get your desires met.

I've had a lot of money and I've been broke a lot too. Take it from me ... having a lot of money is much better than being broke.

Been broke, Never had a lot of money! The scenario Woody talks about is about 300 years behind. The deteriation of the landscape started in the 1500s and gradually got worse untll the 1800s when it really took a turn for the worse with the advent of the steam locomotive, It's been on a downhill race ever since, although woody presented a nice sililoquy, the conviences we now enjoy would be hard to give up! I could name a thousand of them and after trying to find my favorite, came up with the venerable SBC. If you don't know what that is then you're not too smart, but don't fret, you've got plenty of company!

Vi,

I hear you and agree. Woody's cool, but he's just an actor. Can't expect the dude to make sense all the time. I think someone said his old man was a serial killer too. That probably wears on you.

Well as I surmised, you didn't know what SBC was, at least my definition, Maybe your not dumb, just ignorant. My definition of SBC is Small Block Chevy. Now you know. I'm sure a cranial dude like you knows not of such common things, but I am so glad to be expanding your world!

SBC. The most widely used engine in the history of racing, all types. Don't you remember when the corvettes trounced the ferraris at Le-mons, Small block chevys that wound to and revved beyond 9500 rpm. most all Nascar engines are SBCs and they live between 6500-8500 rpm for three hours. The absolute most reliable inexpensive engine in the world. Yeah, you can pay 6 figures for a fancy Murcielago and get blown away at the stopsign by a kid in a 55 chevy. I guess all you nerdy types don't relate to Car talk, well it's ok, I'll try and not think less of you for it! After all, it's only a hobby!

med, if my memory serves me correctly, sometimes don't due to the E I have taken, a vet never beat a fer at le Mons. that is why the Ford GT was invented. no one could beat the italians at the race. when it was brought out, it dominated and was so aptly named the ferrari eater

You may be right. I knew about ford but I remember a race team with corvettes, and It might not have been le-mans, but they went to beat up ferrari. I know Shelby got em with the 427 side oiler (a race version for sure), good old American V-8 gas gussling muscle. God I loved those days,open headers on the streets of Henderson going to the race track, 104 octane gas for 36 cents a gallon, regular was 29, fast cars and loose women, growing up in the 50s was a ball. We used to drive 120MPH on every open stretch of road cuz there was no speed limit, and the cops wouldn't stop ya unless you were driving erratically, hell we all were driving erratically at 120! Those cars didn't have the suspension to be safe at 120

Yep, my bud and I were coming home from hunting in the desert and I passed a Highway Patrol officer in my '49 Merc coup at 105 mph ... with open side pipes (lakers). He didn't bat an eye.
