Can You Hear Us Mr President?

So I got an email from my webhost, basically saying that Apache is going to be recompiled and restarted. You may hit us when we’re down, just keep trying…

your server must undergo a mandatory Apache recompilation in order to fix some corrupt files in the system affecting Apache. This has been scheduled for 10 pm EST tonight during low traffic non-business hours. There is some downtime to be expected whilst we complete the recompilation. Downtime should be minimal however.

We thank you for your understanding and greatly appreciate your business.

Thank you & we wish you a great day.

Holy crap! 5.3m plants were destroyed @ a value of $2,000, just in California. California is at rock bottom with their economy,  the Govenor of the state calls for ‘debate’ yet no one still does anything.

The newcomers to the business are typically restricting their practices to fields of around 80 plants – that’s tiny compared to the mega cultivation seen in California where 5.3m plants were destroyed last year up from 4.9m in 2007. But at around $2,000 a plant, that still provides a good living in Appalachia.

By the way I did the math, and it’s over 10b. That’s huge! and that was in 2007. Imagine what it is now. All that money going to waste into a system that’s failing us, and killing us slowly everyday. As drug usage goes up, so will the need for funds to combat it. SOMETHING ILLEGAL CANNOT BE CONTROLLED.
