A CROSS

      There have been recent complaints about the proliferation of green crosses in LA. Did I miss a memo? Does a green cross impair your driving ability? Does it give you the munchies? To my knowledge there’s no evidence of THC retinal absorption. A green cross won’t even make you feel better if you lick one. I’ve tested that myself.

      In the same way the sight of a cross on top of the Hungarian Presbyterian church won’t make you a Hungarian Presbyterian, seeing a green cross will not affect you.
     
      There are approximately 600 pot shops in LA County. There are over 3,000 churches. There’s an average of at least 10 crosses on each. That’s 30,000 crosses. Apparently no one complains about a cross unless it’s green. The non-green cross has a history of war, genocide, child molestation, forced assimilation and murder. The green cross represents red eyes and a late night run to Taco Bell.


      Driving around LA, I see a lot of annoying things. I’ve seen enough of that epileptic advertising balloon dancing around like it’s on 15 hits of ecstasy.




      I’m tired of seeing entire fast food meals discarded in our streets. I could do without the endless outlets for frozen yogurt. And their customers eating candy on top of what appears to look like robot poo.
    
      I’m also fatigued with signs that say MASSAGE every 10 feet. There must be a lot of sore muscles in LA. I guess writers block and executive brown-nosing have caused an epidemic of shoulder and neck aches. We all have to look at things we don’t like. It’s called society.

      What would make people feel less upset? Maybe a green pentagram, or a blinking bong... Or easier yet, a Hello Kitty Cross? Or a Kim Kardashian Cross.

      LA’s problem isn’t too many pot shops, it’s too many potholes. Pot shops don’t pop car tires, potholes do. Pot shops can easily be avoided. Potholes are nearly impossible to avoid. Some parts of Los Angeles County do not allow pot stores. All parts of Los Angeles have potholes. There’ve been no fatalities from pot consumption. The problem isn’t too many pot shops. The real problems are too many potlucks and potpies!
