“While it’s impossible to verify how many of the 25,000 early adopters of the free Roll Your Own iPhone app are actually committed weed wranglers, one thing is certain, the early success of this instructional app may signal the start of a ‘rolling for dummies’ revolution,” Basile reports. “Nearly 1,000 people have already opted in for the three additional rolling techniques featured for $.99 as an in-app-purchase.”
Basile reports, “Roll Your Own was approved by Apple for an App Store debut on December 22, 2010.”

@How come. . .
Bottom line is the guy is CRAZY. You could never write enough laws that would eliminate craziness in the country.
If you completely ban guns and somehow remove every last one of them from the cititzenry, crazy people will still find a way to kill innocent people.
Exactly, Matt.
Here is my point
-this has nothing to do with-
Sarah Palin
The Tea Party
MSNBC
George Bush
Liberals
Republicans
Pres. Obama
religion
illegal immigration
ATT cell coverage (OK, maybe…)
It has to do with a sick individual who gained access to firearms and went on what he thought to be a calling.
He killed a well respected Democrat AND Republican, a child, and other innocent bystanders.
How do we know the effect Hollywood, XBox, weed, parents, lovers, teachers, or neighbors had on him?
Throwing politics into this when there is no basis other than to blame the right (or left) for the same messages that they send out in different forms is worse than ignorance…it is childish stupidity.
@ChrissyOne, I’m not sure where I gave you enough information to classify me as part of the “you all” group.
Yeah, right, the issue has nothing to do with politics at all. Perish forbid. And the gunman acted alone, as usual.

Still, in a largely anonymous forum, it’s difficult to resist needling each other and countering YOUR vacuous, dumb-ass mind fodder with MY fully thought-out, deeply held beliefs.
Matt wants to ban weed, but not semi automatic handguns. Makes sense.
Dave? Dave’s not Here, Man.
@Matt ‘If you completely ban guns and somehow remove every last one of them from the cititzenry, crazy people will still find a way to kill innocent people.’
THis is true, BUT you kill a WHOLE lot less of them.
This is besides the point. As Towertone said, this has nothing to do with any of what was said here. Politics may have been the catalyst but this nutbar was a bomb waiting to go off….I do not think the 9 year old girl was targeted for assassination for her political views left or right, do you?
Maybe the real issue here may be health care…improved diagnosis/treatment for mental disorders.
Too bad this thread degenerated, in earlier times, given the topic, it could have been the funniest ever.
Matt writes, “Even Obama said last week regarding Republicans, “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.””
Oh, he’s said more than that. He’s spoken of “hand to hand combat”, urged Hispanics to “punish” his Republican opponents, urged his supporters to “get in their faces”, called his opponents “hostage takers” and “suicide bombers”. He shares as much blame for the political climate as anyone.
But what’s missing in the political finger-pointing after this tragedy is that those suffering from paranoia and schizophrenia aren’t responding to the ephemeral “political climate” but to their own internal demons. The fact that those who shared an algebra class at community college were frightened by his very presence shows that politics had nothing to do with it. Many feared the day he would show up and start shooting up the place.
It is a hideous strategy to say that someone must be “eliminated”, without mentioning that this is supposed to mean “lobbying such that the opponent’s political views become less attractive to the general public”.
Most people will understand what is officialy “meant” and they will only ponder briefly (maybe chuckle) over any other meanings that “eliminated” might have.
However, some (say, conservatively, 1 in 100’000) mentally sick people might not understand “eliminated” in the same way.
The trouble is, when public figures make such statements to 180 million Americans, there might just be 180’000’000/100’000 = 1800 potential murderers running around.
@ Matt –
Obama didn’t say the line “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun” last week. He said it in July, 2008. And he was quoting Sean Connery’s line from The Untouchables, telling a crowd in Philadelphia how his campaign was doing things “the Chicago way.”
He used the line once, got slammed for it, and never used it again.
Contrast that to the extensive use of “Don’t retreat, reload” from Sarah Palin, and other militaristic lines and graphic symbology from Palin and others on the right. “Second Amendment remedies” anyone?
pothead = loser = trouble
David, pot not illegal in many states. As it should be..
People against pot are ignorant fools. Let the people puff and get on with dealing with true criminals.
A man shot people the other day. Not pot and not the gun, the man did it.
@jax44
I want to ban weed? Huh? You guys are so quick to plaster unfounded labels on people.
@ Matt.
My bad, I didn’t mean to lump you into that, only many of the regular political pundits here.
Mainly the ones who like to do things like blame all Muslims for 9/11 or all Liberals for that actions of a couple of New Black Panthers.
For the record, I think extremists on both sides are partially to blame for ratcheting up the fear and hatred. Really I don’t know what you expect to happen after so much of this. Yes, it
s mostly the fault of one looney. But if you start talking about armed revolution, you run the risk of activating loonies, just like you run the risk of getting people trampled to death if you shout Fire in a movie theater. My main beef is with the idea that political rethoric had *nothing* to do with it, because in this case, as in the case of Glenn Beck’s apt pupil a few months back, it’s clearly a factor.
Oh, and I hope all of you who think marijuana is pure evil don’t use alcohol, cigarettes, or caffeine. All are more addictive and arguably more damaging, if you actually look at studies rather than buying in to Cheech & Chong stereotypes. But if you’re going to go with that, fine. Don’t forget the reports also said he didn’t think much of religion, so while you’re pointing fingers remember to blame atheists as well.
If you want to put a label on me, I would be a member of the “I don’t trust anyone” party. I don’t like any of the current parties, nor do I like that they even exist. It creates an us vs. them mentality and prevents people from cultivating well-founded opinions for themselves.
My father, Laymon S., could roll what he called “joints” perfectly with one hand.
Of course he used pipe tobacco.
Lung cancer claimed his life in 1987.
Anything you smoke is not good for you.
John Lennon and The Beatles Said it best:
“You say you want a revolution? We all want to change the world.”
“…But when you want money
for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait
Don’t you know it’s gonna be all right.”
Peace and Love my friends. Put the guns down.

Crazy is as crazy does……
I had a crazy person among the people that worked for me…could communicate with JFK, had access to guns, hated law enforcement officials.
He killed himself 8 years ago with his gun. Was it cops? JFK?
Or maybe he was…..simply crazy?
