The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them. |

Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behavior and information processing.

DJFC: I was wondering if you would mind letting us know if you'd be willing to use some of Blonde's homemade toothpaste? If not, what kind of compensation would be required to convince you to?
also, how many women have you had sex with? |

Blonde you should make homemade toothpaste and sell it. Fuck me if that idea doesn't make me erect. I'm being serious. There's such a huge market for this hippie, farmer's market, non-corporation stuff. Create a good product, brand it nicely, sell aggressively where liberals hang. Could honestly have some decent business potential. I swear to god if I was at a farmer's market and someone was selling locally made toothpaste that made some vague claims that it is healthier for me/the environment, I would buy that toothpaste because I'm a sucker for that anti-corporate consumer locavore movement shit. There are a lot of people like this.

This is a great idea, but do you know the amount of toothpaste you have to sell to make it even worthwhile? How long does a tube of toothpaste last you? You can't even say because its unlikely you even know for sure the last time you bought any ... toothpaste money is in repeat business, so blonde would need 6+ months of being "the toothpaste guy at the farmer's market" before he would have any repeat business, then those people would go to the dentist and the dentist would say "stop using that shit, its not ADA approved"

It really is amazing the ideas you guys oft come up for me to "do" that you wouldn't touch at any point in any of your lives. |

I wouldn't be above this at all. If I lose my job I actually give about a 10% chance I do this because I like the idea so much.

If you provide me the investment capital, I'll consider it working on it seriously
One thing I have noticed; Why aren't there more flavored toothpastes for adults? It seems to be almost eni For kids, sure. But as an adult, I want Pina-colada flavored toothpaste. Strawberry. Chocolate. Cake batter. etc. EDIT: quick google search yielded these. Although I still think there should be more, and there's definitely a market I think. I am definitely ordering some of this I think. http://www.amazon.com/Accoutrements-.../dp/B004MBNK78 http://www.amazon.com/Accoutrements-...ref=pd_sim_t_2 |

This is not true at all. To be quite honest, I'm going to keep that farmer's market toothpaste idea in the back of my head as a potential little side project to try if and when I find myself in a liberal hotbed in the U.S. again. I knew a girl in Houston that started a vegan cookie business. That's it. Vegan cookies. She ended up getting distribution in Whole Foods and Central Market (a Whole Foods-esque grocery store with a few locations in Texas that kicks loads of ass) because the cookies were delicious. Had to hire people to do all the baking for her because she got so busy running the business side of the operation.

I think this is a ridiculous idea.
However, my idea for you to work at a bar? Not so much. I will probably do that at some point in my life and you would probably be better at it than me. |

The toothpaste idea has a <5% chance of working. But if it works your life will be awesome.
The bartender idea has a 95% chance of working. But if it works your life will suck. |

Through the liberal application of statistics if Blonde founded a toothpaste bar, it would have a good chance of working and his life being awesome.
