You think ambushing me in some nightclub’s gonna stop what makes people take drugs? This country spends $100 billion a year on getting high, and it’s not because of me. All that time I was wasting in jail, it just got worse. I’m not your problem. I’m just a businessman.

Christopher Walken as Frank White in “King of New York”. A very realistic statement about the “war on drugs’.

Poverty is the mother of revolution and crime.
Newsworthy again
Yesterday, I was sitting in my local comic shop, Plan 9 Comics, and all of a sudden there was a loud crash in the parking lot. Myself, the clerk, and three other patrons ran out to see what had happened. Some lunatic had plowed his car into the Verizon wireless store next door.
The front of the store was completely smashed in. He was spinning his wheels trying to free the car from the wreckage and created a huge cloud of smoke. Once free, he spun around in the parking lot, flung broken glass everywhere and starting screaming death threats at us. The clerk herded us back inside and locked the door in case he came after us. I dialed 911 and the police and fire department showed up.
My name ended up in the newspaper and they have not caught the guy yet. Joy.
It was one of those one in a million things that you are rarely witness to.
