From memory, one of these types had her stand in front of a cannabis store and made quite of bit of cash.

Not that it matters, but that looks like a basement floor and not an attic floor. Interesting that half-split logs were laid on bare earth with hand-hewn logs as joists. The wall masonry is interesting in that it looks field stone that has been masterfully smoothed on the inside.

ketchup or catsup. And plain, yellow mustard, that's enough for me.

One of the better threads in recent times. Excellent observations and comments from futon, RETAC21, Roman, and Skywalkre. This is a moral issue and until drug prone individuals take control of their lives in a positive, productive manner it will continue to be a moral problem.

Stephen Schneider, environmental scientist and activist and, from what I can tell, probably the father of the now old fashioned Global Warming. "On the one hand, as scientists we are ethically bound to the scientific method, in effect promising to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but — which means that we must include all the doubts, the caveats, the ifs, ands, and buts. On the other hand, we are not just scientists but human beings as well. And like most people we'd like to see the world a better place, which in this context translates into our working to reduce the risk of potentially disastrous climatic change. To do that we need to get some broadbased support, to capture the public's imagination. That, of course, entails getting loads of media coverage. So we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements, and make little mention of any doubts we might have. This 'double ethical bind' we frequently find ourselves in cannot be solved by any formula. Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest. I hope that means being both. (Quoted in Discover, pp. 45–48, October 1989.) The above was taken from Wikipedia.

As someone who doesn't know, what were Bradley's "many faults?" Thank you.
