One of the Founders of the U.S. (can't remember which one) is supposed to have said this:

"If man is basically good, then he does not need a government. If he is basically evil, then God help Him should he get one."

Then, during one of several motorcycle trips down the Alaska Hwy on one of two Electraglides, probably about 24 years ago (+/-),decked out with a 48-qt cooler on the rear rack, and part-way through a really nice adventure, I met a biker and his friend who were working on a road crew in very rural Yukon Territory village.

We talked over the backs of our booth seats as I ate the lunch I'd stopped for, after they'd finished their meal, and agreed to meet near the dump site south of town to have a toke of some hash; we both had some, though mine was stashed on my bike, in my gear.

We met up and smoked his stash; a very nice, potent, smooth, darker brown 'shish.

I got unusually wasted.

As we prepared to go our own separate ways, me to the south, to head over to northern Manitoba on a visit, and he and his partner on his pan head, back north, to the village they were working near, he turned to me and said, as we parted,....
