I'm just saying there's more to the situation than just helping someone who's lost their job. Society as a whole benefits from the stability these social programs provide. And I figured that since your compassionate side appears to be lacking I would appeal to your selfish side.

If compassion isn't enough to make you support unemployment, think about it this way: The most dangerous people are those with nothing to lose. When a man has to put a gun to your head to pay his rent I doubt you'll be lecturing him on how he could have avoided the whole situation if only he had saved.

But those billions are going to trickle down to us, remember? Giving tax money to corporations invigorates the economy, giving tax money to education traps our children in a lifetime of debt. /s

This exact thing has been my biggest problem with Pandora. With all that information about what songs relate to each other, you would think they would know that going from "Brain Damage" to any song other than "Eclipse" is going to sound very off. On a related note, whenever a song from Dark Side of the Moon starts playing on Pandora, a lot of times I'll just stop it and play the whole album off my phone to hear it in all it's glory.

I don't think I've ever gone more than a couple days without being able to find any weed. Usually there are a half dozen people I can get it from at any given time, although sometimes we'll go a month without having any really good weed around or at least good weed at standard price ($50 an eighth). Speaking of which, I think the fact that weed pretty much has a set street price that's fairly constant throughout the country says a lot about the availability of it and the futility of the war on drugs. Also, being 20 it's generally much harder to find alcohol for a party than weed.

If they detect gunpowder, or someone smells highly of gasoline I don't think you can really blame security for checking you more thoroughly. But after a quick check it should be obvious that it was just a misunderstanding and someone shouldn't get put on a watchlist for that.
