Re: Latest drug addict loons.

Something I've talked about before, never thought it would get front and center treatment by Hollywood, but I guess 'Kill the Messenger' broke a little ice. http://collider.com/ron-howard-mena-barry-seal/ There was a plan crash in the news involving this movie and Tom Cruise. http://www.madcowprod....

Re: It looks Like Layoff Season Is Starting

Look out for the failure of NINJA auto loans. We should start seeing the effect in the next few months. There will be a cascading failure after that. The Republicans in Congress tried to tighten up with a law that Obama vetoed saying to the effect,"The law would discriminate against minority auto bu...

Re: Anonymous finally does something useful.

If intel agencies were using the channels that Anon is attacking for info the work of Anon may be counter productive. That was always a problem in WW2 re: Enigma. If the enemy suspects you are reading their mail they change channels (codes). Even regular code changes caused problems. And if you foll...

Re: Crime and Punishment: Oklahoma (& Texas) style!

Less Prohibition seems to be reducing the murder rate in Colorado. How unexpected. Who could have seen that coming? Crime rates have dipped since Colorado enacted the law, according to the report. It found a 9.5 percent drop in burglaries in Denver and an 8.9 percent decline in overall property crim...

Raphael Mechoulam Video

He discusses his scientific work and wonders why so little clinical work has been done on cannabis treatments despite extensive mouse and test tube studies. Including studies on cancer treatments - which he discusses in the video.

Programmers

Every.single.place I have worked has allowed jeans & T-shirt for engineers (electronic, mech, etc) & programmers. Some people dressed up, most don't bother. I have yet to see *any* correlation between dress and quality of work. In fact one of the most productive programmers I've ever known usually c...

Re: Okla Goes After Marine Drug Loon

Evidently Oklahoma can't tell the difference between some one who needs cannabis medically and those who are just abusing it for fun. Trouble is no one else can either. There is no reliable test for PTSD. There is no way to tell if the recreational users have a medical problem - PTSD. Or are just de...

Re: Police Brutality Statistics

That is because the policing involved would never be tolerated if they affected politically influential groups to the same degree. These policing practices persist because they are disproportionately directed against marginal populations. This former DEA agent says the same thing about Drug Prohibi...

Re: Latest drug addict loons.

So what can we say for sure about ending Prohibition? Nothing particularly bad happens. Costs are reduced. Revenues are increased. What strapped State government can resist? Well Oklahoma and Utah will probably be among the last to legalize. Even Texas is moving in the direction of legalization. A d...
