Design the Tacoma Food Coop's Logo
The Tacoma Food Coop is looking for a logo and they want your help. It’ll be used for its membership brochures, promotional booths and it may even be on the some-day-it’ll-open storefront. The request is that the design incorporate Mount Rainier, a depiction of fresh food, contained in a circle of people or hands or a basket. While not all of these elements need to be included, the name TACOMA FOOD COOP is essential. Simplicity is a good thing…
Please submit your design to Janet Higbee. You may contact her at 253-973-2306 or forliz@harbornet.com. The selected designer will receive $100 and fame… lots of fame and glory!
The deadline is September 15th.

Random daydream: How about if the pulp mill is converted to a jail and the jail is converted to class A office space?

I know I’m going to get absolutely slaughtered for this, but here goes:
They could always, I don’t know, decriminalize pot?

It’s much more practical than my idea … I’m all for it.

Wonder how many potheads are in our jail. I know there are a ridiculous number nationwide, but does our jail have the same, higher, or lower proportion?
Andrew, I could be wrong, but I doubt this particular forum would be too hard on you for suggesting such a thing. You can count me with you!
Funny little story unrelated to pot: I and three fellow UPS students actually had the privilege of spending a night in said jail in 1997. The crime? A 2 a.m. noise violation from a big party we were hosting! Now that I’m an upstanding member of the community, I feel bad for pissing off the neighbors that much (and karma has had its revenge on me with similarly noisy neighbors), but jail? Come on.

1 in 100 in jail???!!!
How are jails accomplishing this amazing increase in market share?
Must be the great marketing they do via rap lyrics.

Oh Andrew,
If only Tacoma was cool enough to have a jail full of pot heads.
Unfortunately, the problem filling our jails is the Meth. Ugh. Instead of getting mellow you get all scabby.

Accounting Nerd Alert!
Okay, the US censu says that the US population is 303,584,433. The news story say 2,319,258 inmates. That makes the stat .764 folks per 100.
Still, too many people behind bars. Anybody want to rethink the sucess of no child left behind?

Steven – You’re right. In the same article is says “…highest per capita at 750 per 100,000” Huh? that’s not 1 in 100.
Maybe the author is a pot head that should be in jail.

@Sassy:
Oh, certainly we have more methheads than potheads. The libertarian in me says that’s partly a market response to the high cost of other drugs, but that’s an ENTIRELY different conversation.
@NSHDscott:
Jail for a noise disturbance? That seems a little excessive… My senior year at UPS (04-05) we had a house party that got a little loud, and the cops came. They were actually really cool about it, partly cause we felt bad for wasting their time. They just told everyone to get inside the house and turn the music down a little, but everyone still managed to somehow translate that into “Get the hell out.” Shame too, as I have enough trouble getting my mack on WITHOUT police interference.
