This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I might not agree with vengeance as a motive, but anon did a good thing.
Drugs are illegal for a reason. There are unfair laws - this ain't it.
It just happens that the reason for most of them is "because it makes prisons a fuckton of money and disproportionately affects black people"
Ah, no
They are almost universally addictive, bad for health (often causing significant irreversible damage), and associated with elevated probability of antisocial behavior (not saying everyone has it, but it's a risk).
Prisons are an issue, especially in America, but that's absolutely not the whole story about drugs. Just about every country with a normal, non-commercialized and non-weaponized prison system has those laws too.
But some of the Americans seem to be completely unable to look elsewhere for any political experience.
