Everybody's favorite dried-up-old-hag-of-an-actress, Susan Sarandon, a gal who doesn't look a day over her nearly 67 years, seems to hold the rather bizarre opinion that, somehow or other, the war on drugs is "completely racist." She argues the point by claiming it’s only lower level drug defendants who get locked up, "mostly people of color." So what's she saying here? As far as I'm concerned this is nothing more than the typical gibberish most often heard from someone who spends a great deal of their time, fucked up. Anyway, this senile old dolt made this idiotic statement last Wednesday. But, as is usually the case with these imbecilic celebrities, she was far from being done.
So, this genius went on to say, "The war on drugs is ridiculous, because you’re only getting—you’re spending a huge amount of money. It’s completely racist. You’re picking up everybody at the lower level because mandatory minimum drug laws let you trade in to get off, so if you don’t have anyone to trade in, if you’re at the bottom, you’re going to jail." She then, I guess, felt compelled to further add, "If you’re up at the top, you just trade in somebody and then you get off, so the people at the bottom are the ones that are filling up our jails, mostly people of color. And you’re wasting taxpayers’ money, and you’re allowing drug cartels to make money."
Sounding like every other modern day Hollywood nut, the esteemed Ms. Sarandon advocated for the legalization of marijuana, saying "I would like to see everybody be able to smoke pot." And in attempting to point out the benefits of legalization, she went on to say that it would produce revenue for states. "If you taxed it, we’ll see what happens in these states that have passed it. You would have a lot of income," she said. Voters in Colorado and Washington State legalized marijuana through referendum. And sounding like she might have been more than a little high at the time, she said, "I mean Colorado has done studies. It could completely save our ass if we legalize just marijuana."
She went on to advocate for the decriminalization of marijuana, using as the basis for her rather twisted argument the fact that people who are high on marijuana are not a threat. Really? "I mean marijuana doesn’t—you never hear anybody robbing stores when they’re too high. They don’t drive cars. I mean alcohol causes more damage to your body, so it’s just a hang-up from ignorance, and it’s become politicized also," Sarandon said on Huffington Post Live. Now is that a brilliant piece of logic, or what. I swear, nothing these Hollywood types say anymore surprises me. I think it pretty obvious that this old burnout must now be down to operating on one lone brain cell.
When asked if she thought that the U.S. was at "some kind of a tipping point" on the legalization of marijuana, our dim bulb responded, "Yeah, we are." Saying, "I think we are, because it’s about education, and baby boomers know that it’s not a gateway drug, and it’s not going to kill you and all those other things." Well according to a lot of the data that I've seen, it's a rather large percentage of those who start out by experimenting with pot who sooner or later move up to those drugs that are far more dangerous and far more addictive. Sarandon is just another loony liberal who obviously cares little about the consequences that those who listen to her drivel are often made to face.
As twisted as it may sound, far too many of these Hollywood freaks are looked up to by younger members of our society. Not that that many are likely to look up to Sarandon, but she is far from the only entertainment-type out there who's busy promoting the use of illegal drugs. These people are the dregs of our society. Whenever they get popped for using drugs, even the repeat offenders, all they get a slap on the wrist and made to promise they’ll go into rehab. Your average person who, using one of their favorite celebrities as their example, goes out and lights up, shoots up or snorts up, gets to go to jail. And how much do you think that bothers the likes of old Susan? Not one bit!
So I do have a theory here. What Susan and her fellow drug users are attempting to do here is to use the little people in their effort to get drugs legalized for everybody. Their claim is that in order to avoid the unfairness of the punishments administered, simply legalize the drugs. As far as I'm concerned the answer isn't to start legalizing drugs, it's to start making an example of folks like Susan. If she wants to light up, then she should be made to face the same consequences as the rest of us. Maybe it would do her some good to be a cell-mate of some fat old dyke name Bertha, who has a penchant for worn-out celebrities. Everyone should treated the same. No one should be above the law.
