The Government has abdicated responsibility for what it should do for country, it should reassess obligation it has to every British citizen no matter what colour or creed age or infirmity, and do what is right for all of us, instead of creating divisions of poor and rich, educated and non educated, treated and sick, fined in cars rather than protected in their own homes.

It should first and foremost completely streamline rail and power infrastructure and get free school buses for all in place. We would not need to spend millions on roads, see them cracking up under strain and wait hours in queues, and be uncompetative abroad if we had a bloody train system that worked properly, and a Government not in striking unions pockets. Then we could address our inner cities, schools, hospitals and roads with renewed vigour and optimism that money is actually there and not being flagrantly thrown down a black hole of red tape and incompetence.

Can you imagine what Army would do with any one of these problems, on a professional basis? So if that is case, why cant we manage to do same in civil life, if not for apathy, greed , self important beurocrats, and idiotic causes sponsored solely for their vote. This country needs a government and a Royal family with country at heart, with a firm professional agenda on crucial issues and strength to implement them now. We also need them to take our youth in hand and educate them away from seditious claws of a greedy marketplace brainwashing them via television programming, that normal life is series of arguments and divorces, that soap operas are a true reflection of real life though they have to be super agitated every second for thirty minutes, and sensationalised beyond belief. We were not weaned on television from cradle, most of our under twenty fives have been , and have been exposed to this trash for all of their life and given substandard education to counteract it, little wonder they are mostly all led by nose.

Is virtually legalising cannabis in its present toxic chemical form going to help them think clearly and objectively, and are they likely to go on to put right what is wrong in Britain later in their lives when getting out of bed each morning is achieved about one pm in a blurred confusion, and their brain is steadily being eaten away? We are failing our own youth by letting them have their own way, and not standing up for what is right. Just because we had a harsh youth does not mean being soft helps anyone, life is hard, and ignoring failings early on just stores up problems of a greater nature in future. If we do not deal with drugs and failure to fund our inner cities and give people proper amenities and proper councelling then we are doomed to failure and violent backlashes, virtually legalising by back door one of most unpredictable drugs affecting brain is worrying to say least, and not actually telling kids that stuff is forty times stronger and a chemical or pure dosage is remiss at least and criminal at worst.

They use language we used, and chill out and are cool, even mobile phone adverts harp on drug culture language to sell, a cool phone. What no one is telling them all is that we would not take once what they take every waking day, and I debate whether twelve or thirteen year olds are sufficiently aware to be allowed to partake of what can be deadly. You cant prescribe some brian altering drugs under eighteen years of age, that affect serotonin levels to induce anti depressant effects, yet you can stand by and watch kids of twelve smoke cannabis.

At very least I have tried to tell it like it is as I see it on these pages and in thoughts column, as I feel I am somewhat divorced from media control, and watch little of what passes for entertainment on our not dumbed down but crude and clumsy television fare, what could be greatest educator in world is used for distinctly dubious and subversive ends, to sell, and to brainwash where possible in process. Cannabis use is not most potent form of awareness therapy when faced with television threat, and one wonders whether present Government actually likes this state of affairs as it too governs via media directly to public thanks to liar Blair, when not kow towing and fawning to Bush,, and killing our troops in process in someone elses war.

I rest my case, if you want to kill your own minds after all this information from a disinterested source who profits nothing in telling and may even suffer abuse because of it, then it is your mind you are destroying, and your life you are shortening. Ive been an alcoholic, a chain smoker and addicted to bloody painkillers. I have dealt with all three, kicking cannabis should be not quite as bad as any one of these, believe me, and you definitely do not want to go where I have been, ever. Instead of a group and gang culture you have to realise that in end it comes down to you. We are all totally alone, when all is said and done, and stand and falll on our own actions, and if you make three or four very close friends in life thats about it. So it pays to think for yourself, and earlier you start better, its too easy to get dragged into things you would not normally do when in a crowd, better to be an individual, preferably with a clear mind.

When stating this I admit I was well educated by state at a Grammar school , and television was a tad less sophisticated to say least, after all you do not spend one hundred thousand pounds odd on a twenty second advert that will NOT subvert peoples minds, do you? I can merely warn, and point out pitfalls, it is up to you to be strong, for all our futures. http://www.stiffsteiffs.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/cannabis.htm

Perceived value can play a huge role in economics. And apparently, according to this study, there’s a perceived value that shorter a person is, less they can be paid.

How do we change that perception?

Let’s get thousands of people who consider themselves short in stature and under salaried, and let’s raise their pricetag – just like homeowner raised their asking price.

Teach these individuals how to create wealth rather than have jobs. Show them how to make hundreds of thousands of dollar per month. Then showcase them as power-brokers. An elite group of people with a common characteristic of shorter stature and greater wealth can leave an indelible mark on psyches of world’s population that shorter people are worth paying more money than taller individuals.

We may believe words in Declaration of Independence of United States that all people are created equal, but we end up seeing that people are treated unequal. Instead of waiting for someone else to change societies impressions of us, that responsibility falls into our own hands.

We may be created equal – but within our power – within our individual realms of influence - we have incredible opportunities to become unequal. We have power to choose whether we’re treated unequal in ways we dislike, or treated unequal in ways we like.

So now that we’re working toward being treated unequally in ways we like, we’d better start making plans for using those hundreds of thousands of dollars. Right?

How about bankrolling next grant for another round of research that will show next wave of trends in pay as related to height - that shorter people started earning more than their taller counterparts beginning in 2003?
