Medical Marijuana: Ancient and Modern History, Current Therapeutic Eruptions

I am also heartened by the knowledge that maybe there are about a thousand MJ Dispensaries in California and the Governator tacitly approves of them.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - The ancient history of cannabis/marijuana is even more interesting than its present use as a modern medical miracle.

Veterans-For-Change Advocates for Change Within the VA System

If our nation rescinds its promises and ignores its obligation to those who have fought to preserve freedom throughout the world, we compromise the right to ask our men and women to serve and defend our national principals.

(GARDEN GROVE, Calif.) - President Barack Obama told the nation August 17, 2009, “Whether you left the service in 2009 or 1949, we will fulfill our responsibility to deliver the benefits and care that you earned. That's why I've pledged to build nothing less than a 21st-century VA.”

In this article, Veterans-For-Change addresses problems affiliated with the VA, veterans benefits and other issues.

Images Chronicle 2006 Attacks on Haifa, Israel: Part One

Like WWII Blitz air raids over London, bombs still level buildings and change lives in Palestine & Israel. Our British War Photographer's report features images of the fighting in Haifa three summers ago.

(SALEM, Ore.) - Haifa -- A mostly modern place, houses spread across a large hillside that overlooks the sea. The city is large, but is mostly an industrial city, with a large port and a few large power stations spread across the landscape.

When I arrived to this city by bus, I was surprised to see it all intact, especially after having heard about it being the most attacked city in the whole of Israel.

Marijuana, Autism and Andy Dworkin
Autism is a Big Industry

Autism and its several related brain diseases have been strongly helped by cannabis/marijuana which mimic the bodies own hormone, anandamide. This may be lacking in these autistic patients.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - I have already described my outstanding surprise about ABC News touting marijuana for autism, and also the dozens of emails from that story and my own postings.

The brouhaha didn’t really surprise me. After seeing the REEFER MADNESS movie 6 times nothing of this really surprises me.

Combat Infantryman/Dogface Leveque Supports President Obama: Remember Obama Inherited this Mess

The CHEAP WAR philosophy of Rumsfeld was a dreadful mistake 8 years ago. It has already robbed our WARRIOR CLASS – Army and Marines – a dreadful cost in wounded, death and treasure.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - My greatest support is for my fellow Army Dogfaces and Marine Grunts. We don’t ask to go to war to kill or be killed but we go trying to ignore the questionable politics of why we are there.

Libertarians Opposed to New War Plans for Afghanistan

"The president's speech was surprisingly content-free. The speech was nearly all platitudes, which is typical for politicians, particularly presidents. Will someone please restore substance to American political discourse?" -William Redpath, Chairman of the Libertarian National Committee LNC

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - The Libertarian Party (LP) today expressed its opposition to the Afghanistan war plans announced by President Barack Obama last night.

Wes Benedict, Executive Director of the LP, said, "Rush Limbaugh should buy Obama a nice cigar. The liberal president has done exactly what the conservative leader wanted: escalate the war."

Remarks by the President to the Nation on Afghanistan and Pakistan

"America -- we are passing through a time of great trial. And the message that we send in the midst of these storms must be clear: that our cause is just, our resolve unwavering" -President Obama

(WEST POINT, N.Y.) - The President's remarks were made in the Eisenhower Hall Theatre at the United States Military Academy at West Point.

THE PRESIDENT: Good evening. To the United States Corps of Cadets, to the men and women of our Armed Services, and to my fellow Americans: I want to speak to you tonight about our effort in Afghanistan -- the nature of our commitment there, the scope of our interests, and the strategy that my administration will pursue to bring this war to a successful conclusion.

Vietnam War Song by Country Joe McDonald Rewritten for Afghanistan

Lyrics of classic Vietnam protest song are modified to fit today's current picture in Afghanistan.

(SALEM, Ore.) - President Barack Obama specifically said in tonight's speech about raising the stakes in Afghanistan, that there is not a parallel to the Vietnam War that officially lasted from November 1964 to April 1975.

30,000 more Americans will now travel to this faraway Asian country to fight a group of people who have never been defeated on their own soil.

An Open Letter to President Obama from Michael Moore

Michael Moore questions President Obama about his plans for Afghanistan.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - Dear President Obama,

Do you really want to be the new "war president"? If you go to West Point tomorrow night (Tuesday, 8pm) and announce that you are increasing, rather than withdrawing, the troops in Afghanistan, you are the new war president. Pure and simple. And with that you will do the worst possible thing you could do -- destroy the hopes and dreams so many millions have placed in you...

`Marijuana Saved My Child`s Life`

Reefer Madness: A Virulent Disease.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - What’s with the titles? Last week ABC News featured an autistic child. His mother said, “Marijuana saved my child's life”. I’ll bet this brought hundreds of irate emails about turning autistic children into marijuana intoxicated “stoners”.

Those persons, even some physicians, stuck on the movie Reefer Madness absent mindedly seem to believe that marijuana/cannabis somehow destroys the minds of any user. I will point out that many of our presidents have used MJ but maybe that is a bad example.
