The Spice Must Not Flow

There is a family of chemical compounds. They are often referred to as "K2" or "spice." They are legal to purchase in most states. As plant food. "The kids" smoke them to get high as an alternative to marijuana. Sometimes this makes them feel sick.

NJ Bear Hunt

Apologies for the double post if you're on facebook.

So, the bear hunt has been proposed again. I am not against culls that make sense, but this one doesn't. NJ does not have an overpopulation of bears. What it has is an overpopulation of uneducated humans.

The issue is currently open for public comment. Please, please sign the petition.

And remember, if you don't like living where bears are...MOVE!

This documentary starts in the town next to where I grew up.
