Watching different sunsets, on this particular tree (likely hundreds of years old) gives me hope.

This is me...holler if you ever wanna talk hemp and/or Kansas!

kansasreflector.com/author/kelly...
Author on Kansas Reflector's webpage for Kelly Rippel: Kelly Rippel has been interested in hemp and cannabis since the age of 13, when his father told him about the hemp research he volunteered for at Kansas State University during the 1970s. Ripple's passion for evidence-based policy, public health and environmentalism has driven him to seek out a better understanding of humanity's relationship with the cannabis plant. Rippel received a degree in public relations and sociology from Emporia State University, attended the National Cannabis Summit in 2015, CannaGrow Expo in 2016, and after co-founding Kansans for Hemp attended the NoCoHemp Expo in 2017. Rippel worked with decision makers in the enactment of hemp legislation and serves as an appointed member of the Industrial Hemp Advisory Board under the Kansas Department of Agriculture where he helped develop rules and regulations for the state's hemp program and assisted in selecting candidates for licensure. Rippel has spoken at multiple state and regional conferences in addition to the World Hemp Congress in Ljubljana, Slovenia. He serves as volunteer advisor to the Kansas Cannabis Coalition and Hemp Economic Development Group as well as present president of Planted Association of Kansas.

"...for freedom's sake."
Richard Scarry cartoon snake holding a napkin to its mouth talking to another doctor snake with two animals inside the one who just ate too much saying, "That could have gone better" and "You think?" Doctor Snake asks, "Was that necessary?" and the one appearing to almost eat its tale responds, "I believe so...for freedom's sake."

#icymi #cartoonstudies did an entire Richard Scarry exploration of the US Healthcare System in 2021:
www.cartoonstudies.org/harvard-stud...
Unfortunately the US health care system is not so straightforward. The system feels more like a board game, or several board games, each designed by a different company, mashed together into a confusing, complicated mess. There are different sets of rules depending on who is playing. Outcomes are often determined by the color of your skin, your ZIP code, and how much money you have at the beginning of the game.
