What I'm about to say is meant in absolutely no disrespect for Rosa Parks. In fact, this is the first celebrity death in over a decade to cause my eyes to water at all.
There is a lesson here for all of us. Not just about the woman's cause, but specifically about her methods. Rosa Parks did not undertake a 15-year bureaucratic petitioning process to bring change (nor is it in her very nature to even consider doing such a thing)... she just sat down.
How are you enjoying the U.S. government's 'War on Drugs' ? Did you know that every year, more Americans are arrested for simple marijuana possession than the total number busted for violent crimes?

If you (in general) weren't such a bunch of God Damned Pussies, you'd protest prohibition the Rosa Parks way: Just use your drug of choice in the open. This is nothing to be ashamed of at all. That's the only way things will ever change.
