ok. that's the coolest thing i've read in a long while! three cheers for the MAPS people for being out there championing psychedelic research. best line in the whole article...

"In the past couple of years their efforts have begun to pay off. Doblin is optimistic that psychedelic research is back for good, and this time it will do things right. "This gives us the chance to show that we have learned our lessons," he says. Halpern, too, is anxious to lay to rest the ghost of Leary. "That man screwed it up for so many people," he says."

reminds me of a comment that (i think) phil made in an interview to the effect that had leary kept it under his hat the prices would be way more reasonable

not to attract flames from the pro-tim leary camp, but i don't think that turning everyone on is the answer, and that seems to have been how his message was perceived.

in any case, nice find paisley! great reading!

split.

mmmmm....banana split.....

i got the freedom to read package mailed to my home as my wife, niffermouse, had an illustration in the print package for "freedom to read week" this year (i looked for it on line but couldn't find it). I glossed through it in print, but just now had a full look at the list of "challenged" books.

jesus. harry potter? and not to slam the fine folks in rural canada, but it appears that an inordinate number of complaints were generated by Conservative MLA's from tiny towns. Hmmm... 3 cheers for the freedom to read people, enjoy a chalenged book today!

so same sex couples can cross-insure one another? if they are not recognized as a couple though, can the state step in and claim the insurance payout? i had sort of understood that that was the issue...without explicit legal documentation, the same sex spouse could be denied access to their SO''s estate.

interesting....

what a very tricky balance. the Wobblies and the IWW in the 30's totally changed working conditions, but 70 years later on union manufacturing shops are largely inefficient and full of people who do the minimum required.

as far as wal-mart goes, or any other service/retail sector gig goes, go union! so many big companies will keep people working just under the fiull time threshold to avoid paying benefits.

i will not shop at wal mart unless trhere is no alternative. i think niffermouse and i have been there 2x in the last year.

fight the giant corporations.Don't Give Them Your Money!
