I caught the local paper being selective with which printed editorial letters are actually added to their online web version.

Today i sent an inquiry and received a blustery and snarky response from the Union Bulletin editorial editor. (Edit1)

He did not apologize for the omission but was highly offended by my suggestion that my piece was actively censored. He gave me this Office Space grade excuse, "computer glitch".

A local doctor has been pulpit pounding his anti-marijuana views and this editor seems to just eat that shit up... It is a totally inappropriate arrangement they have with this doctor, imo.

Just so you know, in Nazi Germany, Goebbels had discretion over role of the press in 1933, the following webpage explains the Nazi mentality of censoring dissent better than i ever could:

(Edit2 lol walla walla)

If the roles were reversed, and your opinion on marijuana was different, how would you feel about the situation?

Well, the reality I guess would be that you wouldn't be aware of the situation.

It's a series of Russian dolls that go deeper and deeper and deeper and ...

... For the record, could you share the anit-marijuana views being offered? Have they got any backing in science, or peer review?

I hear you.
However, the people voted and it is legal and even prescribable.

I feel that doctors tend to be more concerned about profiteering than healing. If the patient stops needing his medicine then he doesn't get paid.

Regarding role reversal. I was offered the editor in chief position and made aware of this in my junior year of high school. My dad kicked me out before I could assume the role.

Just about everyone in my family wanted me to try medical school at some point. I never had the desire to make money off of sick people.

To answer your question regarding wha

Each time I try updating EE is crashing and google keyboard closing.


Please google "union bulletin casebolt marijuana" to see his letter. This hacked phone ate half my post.


Casebolt spent a paragraph tooting his horn and kissing the editors ass.

Then one bare bones reference to some old federal biased Drug Abuse document.

Hug for Hermit.

This phone crashed keyboard three times then browser gave very rare network error bullshit.
Because I was using preview to save, it saved half and deleted three paragraphs. Then it said earthempaths not online.

It's all good. I'm not trying to be a dink. Just being a studious philosphicalomiter.

No worries. I feel bad this happened. The guy was just having PMS. LOL or he and I both.

You guys talk about Triggers a lot.
The omission itself triggered my paranoia, and the suggestion/question of censorship triggered his rage...

I wont know who is "right" until I learn more.

I took out the names and lead poisoned cess bit

Nod :/

They ran this really dumb letter today that shouts down personal opinion & belief in favor of happy brainless groupthink zombie acceptance.

Anything else is toxic , never mind that lead sugar, lol.

Hoo boy it's sad when older people think that the meaning of life is never being bothered or upset.

If I felt notjing but fake love all day I'd get bored wouldn't you guys?
