About Me
- Name: Jennifer Abel
Jennifer Abel is an American writer who began her career in print media three minutes before the Internet killed the industry. After starting at a small Connecticut daily she moved to the Hartford Advocate, an alt-weekly where her journalistic coups included infiltrating a Furries convention and working on a phone sex line (which fired her six hours later). Since then she’s written for, or been reprinted in, dozens of print and web outlets, including Playboy, the Guardian, Salon, AlterNet, Mashable, the Daily Dot and pretty much every website with the words "cannabis" or "legalize it" in the title. Once, when she was young and naïve and needed the money, she unwittingly edited SEO copy for a spammer. However, in light of the spambot comments she’s deleted from her own blogs since then, she figures she’s more than repaid that particular karmic debt. Jennifer is currently looking for professional, non-spam writing jobs; interested editors are enthusiastically invited to e-mail her.

Yeah, Colorado has been really awful about that. I think it's going to cost the Democrats the state house and maybe the governorship.
A sizeable fraction of humanity needs theater like this to reassure them that what happened to others can't happen to them, even though it surely can.
Some sympathy is called for. They're stuck on a planet with seven billion apes of a type just smart enough to be really dangerous, and they're having a hard time dealing with it. Denial is the only thing that lets them get through the day.
Good article but a good many of our "leaders" and their sycophants are so far gone common sense isn't a skill set.
