If you drink you know deep down that it is bad for you in spite of all the justifications that can be made, some with eating french fries or smoking dubes.
I think wookie is just railing against hypocrisy which is everywhere. IIRC he drinks pretty good on occasion but is also a bit of a health freak which is in some people's eyes, contradictory.  If earth child is railing against you for shopping at Safeway (mind you Safeway does suck for other reasons) for the health reasons but burns stuff and inhales it, then they are being ridiculous. Ya, ya herb is a gift from the earth and whats from the earth is of the greatest worth we all know Ben Harper.
My personal rule of thumb is that I cannot look down upon anyone for their health decisions because I do unhealthy things myself. It would make me a liar and a hypocrite. |
Fotze's got it.
I'm only getting on the hypocrite hippies, and i only use the term hippie because it's fun
I make a contradiction the odd time I anhiliate myself, but.. it helps me keep on my ridged path the other 360 days a year
