Havin' one right now ..... :cool:


.... and the wife is bringing me a Kahlua and creme as I type ... :D

Man, I hate seeing people with a sadistic streak rewarded - but as rewards go, a Kahlua & cream is okaaaaay. :D

My contribution to the topic: I've never forgotten a news article [many years ago] about bomber pilots on trial for missing the target and killing civilians - ooops. During the trial, it came out that prior to takeoff, they'd been given amphetemines by their commanding officer, to 'maintain alertness' :eek: Which made the whole 'war on drugs' as hypocritical as it was [and is] useless.

You fell into their trap, I see.
In terms of the traps that I've fallen into over the years, these two are the least of my worries .....

The alcohol is no biggie ... I rarely drink.

The cigs are a slightly different matter however ...... :(

The traps that will kill my body don't really concern me all that much .... it's the ones that will kill the immortal soul that have me truly worried .... :eek:

Amphetamine usage for pilots flying extended is actually standard practice (SOP) - you can be grounded for refusal to partake.

Of course, those who are too stupid to be bothered to know history, are often inclined to repeat it:

The U.S. Military Needs Its Speed

Four dead, eight injured .... but hey, it was only Canucks .... and they're not "real Americans" anyways ..... :rolleyes:

Lessee ..... members of a military force on a drug which is absolutely known to cause potential side effects which include psychotic behavior, depression, anxiety, fatigue, paranoia, aggression, violent behavior, confusion, insomnia, auditory hallucinations, mood disturbances and delusions with extended usage ...... hmmm ....

Yup .... that might explain quite a bit ... :rolleyes:

When the government [and police officers] can openly break the laws that 'regular people' would go to jail over, it's no surprise that people are fed up with the double standard and the doublespeak.
I have a feeling the 'Occupy' protests are going to get much worse - regular people are getting a regular supply of fresh evidence of the government's contempt for taxpayers, and voting isn't going to make any difference, as usual.

One of our candidates for POTUS has an answer to this problem:

... (Ron) Paul was the only candidate at the debate to make news, calling for the repeal of laws .....
Oh Holy Puritan,

If you wish to have a little insight into the real nature and true character of the man (Michael Gerson) over whose words you so eagerly fawn, read the following short article from Wapo:

Bush's Muse Stands Accused

And then the longer article (4 page) by one of his co-workers, which the short piece from Wapo is based on:

Present at the Creation

Perhaps then you will come to really know him ... as the charlatan in evangelical clothing that he truly is ......

Being a charlatan is practically a requirement for the wearing of evangelical clothing. :D

Two days after we moved in they busted some "men" for handing out those kids paper tatoos, you know the kind, you wet them and they make a picture on your arm. They were handing them out to kindergarden kids. They were laced with LSD.


I always thought that was an urban myth. Guess I was wrong.

Since you brought up LSD, didn't you work for a "company" that was involved in something called the MK-ULTRA project?

Nope, never did. We did experiment with using blind people testing to determine if they really can hear things sighted people cannot hear. They can't.

It also appears that at least 3 people have no idea what agencies do what, OR, have missed a history class or two.

I cannot remember the name of the school we lived by, just a few blocks from the house. That school is where the "lsd" thing took place. We live at 713 Hyde Park Drive, Glen Bernie, MD at the time.

Just passing on what the letter that was sent home from the school said. I no longer have it. That letter stated that both had been convicted and sent to jail. That is all I know. I acted on that letter. Moved my family OUT of Glen Bernie, to the country, only 3 houses where I lived then. We have NO crime in my neighborhood. The crime rate in our township was tiny compared to Glen Bernie. I could let the kids roam there. Did the school make it up? I have NO idea. It matters not, I made the correct move either way. Got my kids OUT of that nasty, city environment.
