Also the amount of people in DC who drive while smoking weed seems very high(no pun intended). Based on the number of cars that can be smelled from another car while in traffic.

Why is it that every single person born between 1940 and 1965 (or making more than $1 million per year) just wants to see all freedoms erased and every natural resource exhausted for their personal comfort?

New comment by chiffre01 in "Paper Folding Assembly Line [video]"

I wish there were smaller, cheaper versions on the market.
