stoned people who self identify as political activitsts that were formerly employed

I was on the Standford campus the other day, which, trust me, is reason enough alone to kick California out of the union. I happened to be there attending, for purely social reasons, the FCC's Net Neutrality town hall meeting.

Aside from your ususal queers, linux-o-phile freetards, well to do liberals, communists, advocates for the poor, and tanned and blazer wearing white dudes in their late fifties that clearly don't have to work anymore but pretend to so they can take the tax deductions from their "businesses", there was one group in particular that I will single out for closer inspection:

Stoned people.

But not just any stoned people. The stoned people I am referencing are special, man. There was more than one person during the public comment phase of the meeting who stood up in front of people wearing suits and said (you have to imagine this with a sort of stoned, swollen back of the tongue speech delivery, subtly aided by their brains actually sliding down into their eustachian tubes blocking the passage of air from their nose to their mouth without a thought preventing, close eyed snot sucking head roll) "I used to work as a ...[insert some plausible job here]... but now I am a political activist."

WHAT IN THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN?

None of these people were senior citizens, they were all in their 40s or 50s. Why did they USED to work? what are they doing now for money? why is political activism not a job for them?

I have no idea, they probably have no idea.

Well let me tell you, it only gets worse. One of these formerly employed activists, while trying to elucidate his position to the suited ones actually said:

"I envision, like, a bumper sticker that says, like, 'do no harm' you know?"
