The Opium of the People

Is it religion as Marx thought?

Is it bread and circuses as Juvenal said?

Is it the certainty of fools and fanatics as Bertrand Russell thought?

Who in the hell gives a monkey’s what great minds think of your opium?

If it’s legal and you can afford it and it doesn’t kill you before death does, enjoy it to your heart’s content.

Mine are ceramics, music, art and media.

If yours are beer and football or shopping and Netflix I ain’t gonna look down on you.

So go on, name your poison and get high on it.
