Marijuana Dispensary wins $100,000!
When Sky High Holistic was subject to a police raid, it was hardly the end of the business. In fact, it ironically gave the marijuana dispensary a big boost, $100,000 to be exact.
The money comes from a lawsuit alleging police harassment of the marijuana dispensary, settled by the City of Santa Ana this week. Santa Ana has also agreed to drop charges against a dozen employees accused of illegally operating.
It's a good thing the cameras were on; The dispensary cameras, that is. Apparently, the cops hung around the establishment long after the raid occurred, playing darts and making demeaning comments about the staff. And once they got comfortable, they indulged in Sky High pot-laced edibles.

I sort of think its creative writing using analogies, substitute and sarcasm.

You might think that... if there wasn't a long history of constant references to those things in their previous posts. Once or twice its creative. 20+ times and its a delusion.

She can be nuts and still be correct, you know. Remember what we were calling "tinfoil hat nutshittery" just ten years ago?

Sorry, but that is false logic. Just because one thing is possible does not make something else, completely unrelated, likely.
There are no lizard people. If you think Snowden's revelations about the NSA have the made the case for the existence of lizard people even an iota stronger, then you may even be more batshit than kuro.

Uhh...what? I don't think there are any lizard people. Maybe you misread something here?

So - what's the difference between "ruling class" and "lizard people"? It isn't clear to me that the people harping about lizard people believe that some people are literally lizards in people skins. There are, however, a very small number of people who either own or control almost all of the world's wealth. The conspiracy nuts have been searching for evidence of the conspiracy for a long time now, but haven't uncovered anything definitive.

One half of the world's population shares less wealth than that accumulated by the 62 wealthiest people on earth. Conspiracy or not, you can bet that none of those 62 are willing to see laws changed that might reduce their share of the wealth.

All three of you range between extreme and rational views.
Personally I take the Lizard People thing as metaphorical. And more than likely intended to convey 'cold bloodedness', which given the current presidential candidates in the US seems very fitting, the top two are definitely 'lizard people' if you defined them as 'cold/blue blooded', and having read further on those below the top 4 current candidates, they are ALL whackjobs in one way or another. To the point where I would be submitting a blank ballot as an american voter.
