Our friend Matthew is adjusting to life in our nation's Capital:
I was an idiot and told this lady the truth: "I don't drink, I don't use what are currently illegal drugs, I don't overdose on legal drugs, I don't smoke anything, and I don't support any of those actions, in fact I make Beaver Cleaver look like a crack-head. That said, I am 100% opposed to the War on Drugs as I consider drug usage to be a victimless crime, that destroys more families than did WWI and II combined, not to mention I am pretty sure that the DEA is one of the most offensive agencies on the face of the planet because they strip away our right to choose." A nice summary of my stance if I do say so myself.
Now if I'd been paying attention, which at 7:15AM I'm not really awake enough to figure out how to tie my shoes let alone much else, I would have noticed that attached to her purse strap was an ID badge with the DEA logo on it. And if I'd been a little more awake I would have also noticed that four other people standing and sitting well within earshot also had DEA badges strapped on their belts, bags, jackets, etc. As if by magic, I woke right up. Actually it wasn't magic, it was the DEA badge wearing clowns all telling me about how evil drug usage is....at once....in rather loud voices...at once....did I mention they were loud?
I love it.

I am glad Matthew didn't realize who he was talking to because if he had it might have toned his rhetoric down a bit and they needed to hear it like it is.
