How cool is it, that a tool created by the US military is now used to bring people closer together, hopefully, with the aim of peaceful coexistence?

I did not used to be pessimistic at all, I wonder if it's the internet's fault.

(...)Why were are you going?:sqerr:The big medical marijuana center in the sky. I was 14 years old already forty years ago, something tells me I won't make it another forty years. Just a hunch, lol.

Don't you just have to make it another 26?
Doesn't medical marijuana make you live longer?

Don't you just have to make it another 26?No. What I meant was eighty years of internet.

Is it possible to post and not insinuate a thing? I think not. So might as well go with it.
