So you are a hemp-smoking Buddist? Or is that rather a "bud-ist"? My concept of time and yours are quite opposed-

I believe God created time and it has a beginning and end. I also believe the book of Genesis where after God created man he gave him "dominion" over the animals.

Lastly I believe there is a hell and damnation, but smoking something is among the least of forgivable sins .

We are on the brink- yes- and just as the Bible fortells, the middle east and Israel are the focal points.

Now I don't think Jews would be anymore inclined to burn lard in their cars than a Buddhist ,

But what about all those Mexicans here? Lard is big with them, part of their culture, and they don't give up culture too easy. Try telling them they have to change. In 50 years they will be the majority here.

Thus the appalling tubs of lard and long rows of animal flesh will be here until the end of time.

The one thing that bothers me about Buddism is that they don't do anything.

The world is under attack by Islamic extremists and if they were able to succeed, they would control the world.

Unfortunately you or I have no place in their perfect world, so we will have to be exterminated. And the Buddist is concerned about animal rights instead?

If animals wanted rights, they would'nt submit to man's authority. They would take to the streets, they would leave the farms and wilderness and stand up for themselves.

The world was once destroyed by a flood. The animals we have today were saved by Noah.Overall men take care of animals. Tell the Amrican Indian that animals oil and meat is bad. They made and ate everything they needed from nature including animals.

But animals have no soul, they have no rights as we percieve them.

We are to take good care of them however, as the scripture teaches " The righteous man regards the life of his beast".

How about being more concerned about human rights, than the pious animal rights while all along someday your world future view is animals smoking pot?

How about the right to breathe clean air . Hemp (pot) smoking is smoke. Smoke of anything is harmful. When you go to the hospital the first thing they do is give you oxygen.

There is something very good about oxygen.Oxygen cleans the blood. Smoke is full of impurities. Pot turns your brain into jelly.

"I long ago lost a hound, a bay horse, and a turtle dove, and am still on their trail. Many are the travelers I have spoken to concerning them, describing their tracks and what calls they answered to. I have met one or two who had heard the hound, and the tramp of the horse, and even seen the dove disappear behind a cloud, and they seemed as anxious to recover them as if they had lost them themselves." - henry thoreau
