President Barack Obama Vs. Osama bin Laden: Obama Won

I shudder to think of the consequences to President Obama if the attack had been a failure.

(PORTLAND, OR) - Despite the fact that President Obama is accused of being a Muslim, he is/was totally instrumental in causing the death of one of the most powerful, most important, most dangerous Muslim Terrorists in the world.

A new book, detailing the account and the death of this tyrant, may be about to hit the streets: may be a big mistake.

Military Hazing, PTSD, Alcoholism, Murder and Suicide: It`s Everywhere and Dangerous

For Veterans Medical care, the philosophy seems to be “delay, delay, delay until the Veterans die!”

(PORTLAND, OR) - All branches of the military have an ignominious history of extreme hazing.

Marijuana Legalization and Reefer Madness, or
Mad Cow Disease in Oregonian Editors

No state affiliated group would or could aid in any way to form the regulations to monitor or control marijuana dispensaries. We had to do it ourselves.

(PORTLAND, OR) - I don’t think I can have any other explanation of their article on Sunday, July 29th, 2012 entitled, “Flaws in the push to Legalize Marijuana.” and also a similar OPED denigration.

The Oregonian has been debasing medical marijuana since it became legal in 1999 but these two articles ‘take the cake’ in their vehement ignorance...

Military Suicides Continued: Critique of the Time Article: One Suicide a Day

The military wrongly claims that marital relationship issues cause suicides. What causes the issues? PTSD = Marital Discord.

(PORTLAND, OR) - I wrote, Military Suicides: Are they Killing the Best Fighters? about 2 weeks before the TIME issue came out. I have some real issues with TIME.

TIMES author, Mark Thompson and Nancy Gibbs got it mostly correct with some serious errors or near errors. I will try to correct the worst.

Marijuana Vs. Methadone

Cannabis/marijuana had never killed anybody in the probable 5,000 years of its use in medicine.

(MOLALLA, OR) - The New York Times published on July 10, 2012 that Methadone accounted for about 1/3 of deaths caused by opiate and opioids pain relievers in 2009 but they didn’t give the actual figure.

The opiate, Oxycodone, causes the most deaths followed by hydrocodone, (Vicodin) and Morphine but the opioid Methadone which had been used mostly to get addicts off heroin is now widely used as a pain killer.

Marijuana Dependents Lose Marijuana Cost Deductions

So says The Oregonian... and patients can get a legal Marinol prescription

(MOLALLA, OR) - The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Social Security Department, U.S.D.A. Food and Nutrition Service, with the connivance of many government anti-marijuana offices, has decided to kick disabled, destitute medical marijuana patients in the guts AGAIN with totally egregious erroneous statements that, "Marijuana has no currently accepted medical use and can not be prescribed for any medicinal use." Ridiculous.

Ananamide: the Real Gateway Drug

Even before pregnancy!

(MOLALLA, OR) - What the 'Gateway Drug' is has been bandied about for many years. Whether it is/was beer, tobacco, chocolate, Starbucks, pizza, Coca Cola or pancakes, or whatever else is still very controversial.

The ignorant severe critics say that it is marijuana. Unknown to them in their ignorance, they are only about half correct. The gateway drug is Anandamide which is in mother's milk and the first 'drug' any infant will ingest.

Military Suicides: Are they Killing the Best Fighters?

What is the reason?

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - This posting is based upon a very enlightening article in Newsweek, May 28, 2012 entitled ‘We pretend the veterans don’t even exist’, by Anthony Swafford, Marine survivor of two combat tours in Iraq.

The best factor of this article is calling attention to a rotten military system getting worse.

Arizona Medical Marijuana Program: Reefer Madness, Crazy cannabis and Ganja goofiness

Nonsensical legislation is a confusing strategy for Arizona's awkward plan.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - The NY times printed a poignant critique of the Arizona plan on Friday June 8, 2012. I was shocked into uncontrolled bewilderment about their regulations.

If the Arizona officials were morally against marijuana, why didn’t they just say so?

Military Rape Back in Headlines
Services Increasingly Appearing as Broken Institutions

Military sex and violence will not go away.

(SALEM) - A new award-winning documentary about military rape has kicked this political football into full public view.

It is an ugly, detestable problem that the military leaves basically unaddressed.
