And as is true of all bad ideas, somebody had to state them so we know they are bad, realize this, 
keep the good parts and move on.
Most famous philosophers, sociologists, psychologist had some good ideas or realizations.  But some 
of them were completely whacked on crack.  e.g. Freud.  Do most of you realize that he was high on 
cocaine when he wrote his stuff about dreams and penis imagery?  Not that it is completely wrong, 
but you must weigh his writings now based on the knowledge that he was high.

And now a musical interlude:

  Afroman
  Because I Got High

I was gonna clean my room until I got high
I gonna get up and find the broom but then I got high
my room is still messed up and I know why
- cause I got high [repeat 3X]

I was gonna go to class before I got high
I coulda cheated and I coulda passed but I got high
I am taking it next semester and I know why
- cause I got high [repeat 3X]

I was gonna go to work but then I got high
I just got a new promotion but I got high
now I'm selling dope and I know why
- cause I got high [repeat 3X]

I was gonna go to court before I got high
I was gonna pay my child support but then I got high
they took my whole paycheck and I know why
- cause I got high [repeat 3X]

I wasn't gonna run from the cops but I was high
I was gonna pull right over and stop but I was high
Now I am a paraplegic - because I got high [repeat 3X]

I was gonna pay my car note until I got high
I was gonna gamble on the boat but then I got high
now the tow truck is pulling away and I know why
- because I got high [repeat 3X]

I messed up my entire life because I got high
I lost my kids and wife because I got high
now I'm sleeping on the sidewalk and I know why
- cause I got high [repeat 3X]

I'm gonna stop singing this song because I'm high
I'm singing this whole thing wrong because I'm high
and if I don't sell one copy I know why
- cause I'm high [repeat 3X]
