Scientia

I gave it a thumbs up simply because it tries to educate people in a positive way about some persons with a disability. However, reading between the lines reveals that there is little known to this day. There have also been studies that show that rehabilitation is very possible, and that we need to go beyond drugs for real healing. I am not anti-drug, but the article admits at one point that the higher mortality of someone with schizophrenia can be related to the drugs they take. That said, I have met people who swear by the drugs and how they have helped them live better lives. Then there is the law suit against the makers of Seroquel.

This would be useful if we were given more background. No matter what period we are looking at, a "skeptic" could point to someone with data that it was much warmer than this at some distant point in the past due to natural causes.
This misses the point that overall climate change is now generated by humans, and that the changes caused by humans will continue to affect micro-climate and weather through the world in ways that are not good. Most countries, including mine apparently, are so fragile politically and economically that they just refuse to deal with it.
By the way, I do not care what Gore, or Hillary or any pundit has to say about it, or how the Left or Right is going to capitalize upon a crisis. Go to the science and check it out.

I admit I am getting older. There was a recipe, as I recall, for a butter or lard like substance for cooking or eating back in the ummm, Seventies. I have admitted in this blog that I did try pot, and I did not smoke but not inhale as a recent president claimed he did. Then, I never liked the effects, or affects, that it brought. That's me. I walked away and didn't look back.

However, today's cannabis products do have an important difference, they are just stronger per gram when it comes to its active ingredients. I keep putting warning notes in on this subject because I have learned that there is such at thing as...too much of a good thing. Anyway, back then concentrating the oil would be sure to send one on a high that was more like a trip then a mild buzz that still allowed one to do other things. Today's cannabis has greater than ever thc content. Concentrating that into a butter? Well, if one isn't careful, you will spend the day with all the ability and charm of a cinder block. I realize that is a goal for some. Buyer and botanical consumer beware.

This is one of the few atheist blogs I look at regularly. There seems to be more variety and lively discussion.
