The Knit Pick Manual

FOUNDING FATHER: MICHIO KAKU

Michio Kaku is more than a man with awesome hair. He is a theoretical physicist who not only asks mind melting questions, he attempts to answer them with all available scientific know how.

He come across as a kook to the uneducated, but he knows more than you and even better uses Back to the Future references to explain his theories.



Teleport "just like in Star Trek!"


He can read your mind.


He watches you in the shower.


He does a lot better job talking the Hadron Collider than the girls on The Hills


Making another Star Trek and Star Wars reference.

KNIT PICKS ON THE FUTURE AND HISTORY OF WEED



It might seem odd to ne one who knows me personally that I am against the legalization of marijuana. Well I'll let Lewis Black tell you why. Because an anger white man with spazmatic fingers is far more entertaining than a long winded post.

Nothing resembling a scene from Oprah's Great Debaters but pretty convincing.

According this article by jointogether.org and the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics, twenty-one percent of state inmates and 63 percent of federal inmates are considered non-violent drug offenders. That means privately owned and publically traded prison building companies like Geo Group Inc are making a killing on locking up addicts.

For more information on that watch American Drug War, The Last White Hope

So now we want the government to get a piece the action? Their War on Drugs has only resulted in a increase of drugs in America. Ultimately, leading to more dangerous and creative moonshine approaches to getting high, ie meth and crack, a job once left up to the leaf.

Let's not forget it's the government who is to blame for the lack of distinction between marijuana and other hard drugs. That myth of drug equality has created a subsection of people within the 19.6% of 12- to 17-year-olds who reported using marijuana. A subsection that found it not be harmful and question the validity of arguments against other mind altering substances like cocaine and acid. These are the people who later become the addicts.

With seemingly no end in sight and the explosion of horrific violence created by the trafficking, selling, and using of drugs what are we to do?

The solution isn't legalization its decriminalization. In burnout speech, just let it grow man!

FOUNDING FATHER: BILL MAHER



If I was 10 IQ points smarter and half Jewish I would probably be Bill Maher. Sadly I'm not. Until scientists find a way to make that happen I'll just have to post his genius videos and wish that was me.

MASS MEDIA

My little sister just got back from a couple months in Europe and they must still be listening to house music over there because she admitted to knowing only one MGMT song. Sure Europeans don't drive in cars as much and The Man can't continuously feed his subliminal advertising into people's ears during every minute of their waking life. But come on, the best band out today, Muse, happens to be from England. So I've taken the chance to compile some tracks, aiding her transition back into modern society.


Muse: Knights of Cydonia


Muse: Take a Bow


Muse: House of the Rising Sun


MGMT: Kids


MGMT: Weekend Wars


MGMT: We Care


MGMT: Of Moons, Birds, and Monsters


MGMT: Destrokk


Built to Spill: Going Against Your Mind


Built to Spill: Liar


Built to Spill: Wherever You Go
