Let’s talk about some chemicals.
We are taught LIES about certain chemicals in this society (the United States) and others, and this is supposedly for “our safety”.
Governments or other organizations want to regulate YOUR BODY, and most importantly of all, they do NOT want you to use your MIND, ever.
Okay, firstly, marijuana, or cannabis DOES NOT KILL or even harm you, really. Maybe if smoked, yes, but what about vaporized?
Marijuana helps numerous cancer patients and others in pain to ease some of that suffering, and it is one drug that IT IS ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE TO OVERDOSE ON.
Please read that again.
That’s right, impossible. You would pass out before being able to smoke/otherwise consume that much.
I’m sure that governments and big business (corporations) would love to make money from a legal cannabis trade, but there is still so much untruth and fearmongering going on amongst conservative groups, without the proper facts being presented.

Would a media that is liberal do this?
Giggling like two silly little school girls, CNN news anchors Campbell Brown and Erica Hill on the Friday, July 25, 2008 airing of Election Center, virulently mocked the House Judiciary Committee for holding a hearing on impeachment. Brown stated the hearings were “all just stagecraft,” a “piece of Kabuki theatre,” and “a real waste of taxpayer money and Congress’ time.”

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Amendment IV, Bill of Rights, United States Constitution
I’m hardly a constitutional scholar, but it seems pretty clear that the government doesn’t get to search your stuff without a damned good reason. And after watching the explanation as to why you should never talk to the police without a lawyer even in you believe you’re snow white and free of crime, I don’t understand why more people are kicking up a sh*t storm about Homeland Security’s flagrant violation of our fourth amendment.
That’s not true; I do understand. We’re cowering in a corner, hoping to not be [...]

I’ve Little Option But To Vote For Bradford For Harris County District Attorney

The position of Harris County,Texas District Attorney is an important office. The D.A. decides on matters of life and death.
Harris County loves the death penalty. Counted up until February of 2008, 61 of the 693 executions in the United States since the Supreme Court re-established the death penalty have come from Harris County. That is 8.8% of all U.S. executions coming from one county.
Here is the link to The Innocence Project—Read about the number of innocent people who have put to death in the United States.
Also, Harris County has been sending some people to jail based on negligent and incompetent work done by the City of Houston’s crime lab.
Earlier in 2008 Republican District Attorney Chuck Rosenthal was forced to resign because of a variety of misdeeds. These misdeeds included an office computer that had stored on it insulting comments and jokes about women and blacks.
None of this is a surprise. There is nothing so lousy or wicked that it would [...]

Hiroshima marks A-bomb anniversary
IHT/Asahi: August 6,2008
http://www.asahi.com/english/Herald-asahi/TKY200808060285.html
HIROSHIMA–Hiroshima marked the 63rd anniversary of its atomic bombing Wednesday with Mayor Tadatoshi Akiba saying he hopes the new U.S. president will support the elimination of nuclear weapons.
“We can only hope that the president of the United States elected this November will listen conscientiously to the majority, for whom the top priority is human survival,” said Akiba in his Peace Declaration.
“The only way to protect citizens from a nuclear attack is the total abolition of nuclear weapons,” he added.
Akiba delivered the declaration during a somber ceremony held in the Peace Memorial Park that was attended by about 45,000 people, including hibakusha atomic-bomb survivors, bereaved families and dignitaries.
This year for the first time, the average age of surviving victims topped the 75-year mark to reach 75.1 years. The number of hibakusha living in and out of Japan has declined to 243,692.
On Wednesday, the names of 5,302 [...]

Stupidity Should Hurt

If you’ve ever wondered about the ignorance of the general public in these United States we need look no further than Kathie Steigerwald of Dearborn, Michigan. Here is an excerpt of her comments from a Politico.com article recently picked up by Yahoo! News and others.
Kathie Steigerwald, a Dearborn, Mich. businesswoman who said she voted for Hillary Clinton but now plans to support McCain, offered an especially succinct recital of a narrative on which other interviewees offered numerous variations:
“I feel John McCain is a true American and I want to support a true American,” she said.
But isn’t Obama a “true American?” she was asked.
“I don’t know,” she said after a measured pause. “I question it.”
Why?
“I don’t know - maybe because of his name?”
Seriously folks – have we descended so low that we will question whether or not someone is a “true American” simply on the basis of their name? Are we [...]

Just What the Hell is Going On Down There?

Though you won’t hear it from most major news outlets, Washington Times (along with Newsmax, WND and UPI) reports that a US border patrol agent was recently held at gunpoint by Mexican troops — on United States Soil. According to the report, Mexican soldiers crossed the border in a fairly isolated location, approached the border agent (who has not been identified) and pointed their rifles at him.
Surprising and outrages, perhaps — but even more so is the fact that this is only one over more than 200 such incidents to take place since 1996. Some incidents have not been quite as threatening as this one, while one, which took place in 2002, involved armed Mexican soldiers actually firing on a lone border agent, actually shooting the agent’s vehicle with a .50 caliber weapon.
While it is certain that at least some of the 200 incursions by Mexican military onto [...]

Agent Held at Gunpoint by Mexican Military

This announcement is from Local Union 2544–in Tucson, AZ.
A Tucson Sector Border Patrol agent was held at gunpoint by the Mexican military last night south of Ajo. Mexican military personnel crossed over the border and pointed rifles at him. Backup units arrived from the Ajo Border Patrol station, and the Mexican military personnel eventually returned to Mexico. Unfortunately, this sort of behavior by Mexican military personnel has been going on for years. They are never held accountable, and the United States government will undoubtedly brush this off as another case of “Oh well, they didn’t know they were in the United States.” A few years ago the Mexican military went a step further and put a .50 calibre rifle round through the rear window of a Border Patrol agent’s patrol vehicle south of Ajo. Nothing was ever done. Nobody was ever held accountable. Particularly galling is the fact that the Mexican military often pulls these stunts in [...]

Do Immigrants make US safer?

I found this artcle in Newsweek and had to share. I have found that a lot of people subscribe to that mith that immigrants come to destroy our way of life….

New immigrants may be the best thing that ever happened to American cities, but don’t wait for the leading presidential candidates to tell you that.

What do the safest big cities in the United States have in common? Rudy Giuliani knows, but he’s not likely to say so, at least not now. Why? Because the answer, in a word, is immigrants.
When Giuliani was the law-and-order mayor of New York City, Mr. Zero Tolerance was more than happy to tolerate immigrants, including those who entered or stayed in the United States illegally. As conservative New York Times columnist David Brooks pointed out recently, Giuliani “once went overboard and declared, ‘If you come here and [...]

BPW also Approves Conservation of More Than 323 Acres Near Blackwater Wildlife National Management Area
Governor Martin O’Malley recently announced Board of Public Works approval of the purchase of the historic Nanticoke Inn in Vienna, which will become a waterfront visitor’s center for the John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail.
The Captain John Smith National Historic Trail commemorates the explorations of Captain Smith on the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries in 1607-1609. It is the first national water trail in the United States and a key part of a long-term strategy to ensure stewardship of the Nanticoke River involving Maryland, Delaware, and federal, local, and non-profit organizations.
“Working together, we are taking steps to ensure protection of the natural and cultural legacy of this beautiful river, which remains in places very similar to how it appeared 400 years ago when Captain Smith first explored it,” Governor O’Malley said. “The visitor’s center [...]
