Man Randomly Attacked By Police Dog, Beaten By Police For Defending Himself

Story about a guy sleeping in his backyard who is randomly attacked by a vicious police dog chasing a "suspect". He naturally tries to defend himself and gets beaten by the police for it. The police justified this by saying the "suspect" they were after was riding a moped without a helmet or headlights on. And it only gets worse from there.

Medical Marijuana One Step Away from FDA Development Process

This is all that needs to be said:

“...SCIENCE, NOT POLITICS, needs to determine whether medical marijuana should be made legal, and the DEA has so far tried to block the scientific process,” said University of Massachusetts-Amherst Professor Lyle Craker.

It's disgusting to see a political organization interfering with medical research.

XM Radio announced today that the company has suspended Gregg "Opie" Hughes and Anthony Cumia, hosts of "The Opie & Anthony Show" and ceased broadcast of the show for 30 days, effective immediately.

I've never once listened to Opie and Anthony (I figure now is a good time to start), but this is just plain bullshit. Political correctness = death of freedom.

STOP WITH THE FUCKING CENSORSHIP.

Growing number of seniors using drugs (pic)

"I hope my grandchildren will be willing to roll a doobie for me if my arthritis gets too bad," says Becker. The baby boomers who discovered recreational drugs decades ago are bringing them along into their golden years. They are self-medicating in a safe way, and they are not coming to our attention because they are using [Cannabis] successfully.

"If you're a cop and you're arresting people and you're confiscating the marijuana and keeping it yourself, that's bad.

As a Society

As a society everyone is doped up on drugs; legal, illegal, prescription, over the counter. Alcohol is heavily intertwined in our society, it's at pretty much every social event from people in their teens getting wasted to old farts drinking wine with their mush. Caffeine loves fuckin' with soda and coffee drinkers, not to mention those goddamn energy drinks, jesus christ some people down those like water. Can't concentrate? Take a pill. Stressed? Take a pill. Got a headache? Take a pill. Can't sleep? Take a pill. Bleeding from every orifice? There's probably a pill for that too.

People are dumb, they don't know moderation. People think that just because it's legal or available means that you can do it every day. That's why you see everyone in a stupid SUV and people driving friggin military vehicles just to go get groceries. Addicts lined up at Dunkin Donuts every morning waiting for their caffeine fix. Parents buying Happy Meals for their screaming brats that have the nutritional equivalent of newspaper and a caffeine saturated drink of liquid-sugar. Processed, manufactured, boxed shit loaded with preservatives, that's the way our society works, because eating healthy is just too much of a hassle, but there's always time to vote on American Idol.

MIKE GRAVEL-"I WOULD CHANGE THE WHOLE DRUG POLICY"-Legalization

MIKE GRAVEL brilliantly lays out his plan on what to do with Marijuana and how to fix the demonetization [demonization] of drugs from a criminal problem, changing it to a health problem. Decriminalization and Legalization!




The main (best) reason for legalization is that it's so blatantly apparent that it's completely fucking asinine if you do even a minute amount of research into it. The degradation of civil liberties is almost as astounding as the many billions of dollars wasted on this for so way too long. Repave a road, build a hospital, feed a starving family or work on that pesky national deficit, but just stop throwing so much taxpayer money away.

09F911029D74E35BD84156C5635688C0 = Brilliant Marketing Scheme

I must say kudos to Universal for such an ingenious marketing decision to raise awareness of HD DVD. Standing headstrong in the face of a better-selling Blu-ray adversary, Universal countered with this piece of brilliant marketing. It's only a matter of time before HD DVD wins over all of our hearts.

Blu-ray has no chance to survive make your time.
