The Northwest Olympia Neighborhood Association is having a Potluck about the Westside Artswalk.  Are you curious about what the Westside Artswalk is?  Would you like to find out who you can contact with questions and concerns?  Would you like to know who organizes it?  Would you like to find out how you can get involved?

It'll be a family friendly affair.

So, the Terrorist State of Israel has its own Myspace Page now. It's an official page, directed by officials of the Foreign Ministry.

I know I'm being harsh, perhaps unfairly. After all there are good people in Israel, there is much beauty in the Holy Land, and the history and culture are fascinating. But we know full well they are as much terrorists as the suicide bombers. Only difference is Palestine doesn't get billions of American dollars each year to fund their military. Palestine doesn't get American support to steal land, destroy homes, murder people. Palestinians are prisoners in their own land by people who can't authentically verify their lineage from one of Jacob's sons.

Israel also has her own blog. These two sites are trying to entice military-aged Americans who happen to be Jewish over to the Holy Land. In fact, any young American Jew can get a 10-day all expenses paid trip there, where they can become a citizen and join the military and drive their own Caterpillar.

Why doesn't the DoJ consider this terrorist recruitment? Why don't they have anyone connected to this on a Do Not Fly list? If there's a similar program for American Muslims to visit Mecca you know the Bush Junta has their nose in it.

I'm glad there's some decent articles, books and discussion boards kicking this idea around the edges of the mainstream in more productive ways than when I was in D.A.R.E. so many years ago. What a joke that was. You ever try parenting on weed!??! Enjoy the articles I dug up and visit Pirate Papa for more news from the radical parenting front:

Is it always wrong for kids to smoke marijuana? Two families discuss their pot-smoking kids.

Kids and pot; a controversial topic if there ever was one, with many pot advocates buying into the prohibitionists' idea that it's always bad for children to use marijuana.

"Protecting kids from drugs" is the mantra of justification for prohibitionists who want adults thrown in jail for using cannabis. But it isn't just anti-potties who decry underage cannabis use. For example, at a marijuana rally, three high school kids came up and asked me if I would smoke with them. I did and found them to be witty, savvy, fun people. When I returned to the activist's booth I'd been at, however, one of the powerhouses of the marijuana movement told me I was immoral for smoking with the kids.

"We believe it's wrong for kids to get high," I was told. "You're setting a bad example."

I was surprised that a person who publicly states that the cannabis plant is a healing herb with medicinal, spiritual and industrial uses would so vehemently oppose its use by young people. I realized then that it would be helpful to discuss kids and pot, and to solicit a dialogue on the subject between this magazine and its readers.

We want to hear what you have to say about the issue, and I'll be sharing what I've learned as a marijuana writer and researcher.
