Boomers Smoking
I agree with the Dr.'s post previous to mine. I believe that each of us has a right to do what we think is best for us. I believe marijuana has many medicinal uses and that this slight risk is less than most presciption medications on the market. Look at the side effects of some of these meds and tell me would you rather take them or smoke ...

The Big Bailout...Ha!
There is no need for a bailout of the bank when we can bail them out through tax payer spending...heres how: America has fought hard to become an independent nation and a leader in innovation, so how can we fix our current economic downtrend efficiently? Some seem to think that throwing money at the corporations who failed us is the answer…we all ...

Ralph Nader: Left out? Cynthia McKinney: Barely a mention.
As I sat and listened to the DNC and RNC coverage on TV/Radio I waited and waited for either party to mention a third party: Independant. That being Ralph Nader/Matt Gonzalez. Nader picked his running mate early in the campaign. Or 4th - Green Party Nominee Cynthia McKinney and running mate Rosa Clemente. They barely got a mentioning. Just a ...

A Cabinet Post for Hillary?
Hey, I'm as disappointed as any of you Hillary supporters that she isn't the nominee of the Democrats. But I'm over it and ready to look ahead. It's time to get behind Obama and get the Bush Bums out of the White House! PUMA? Get real. The only ones who are benefiting from the likes of you all are the Republicans. Nothing says ''weak'' better than ...

The Joys of Night Float
Having trained at a very forward-thinking medical school (the University of South Alabama, Mobile, Alabama), my own night float experience was in March of my internship year, '91-'92. It was without a doubt the most horrible month of a year that is traditionally hell on a popsicle stick. Not only were the all-night hours severely disruptive of ...

Re: End of Dynasties, Please
spiker: Life experience should count too. ''You a Doctor or nurse? Come on in. Please, please help us fix health care!'' I'm not so sure on this. My current state senator is also a practicing physician. He's quite possibly one of the least informed people about the issues surrounding healthcare that I've ever dealt with (I work in the ...

When moms have the freedom
I am so happy my husband supports my desition of staying with my child at home. I just couldn't leave him in childcare. I tried 3 different center after I actually visited like 15.

what mommies do
Lots of moms who have decided to stay home because they just can't leave their babies in daycare, either because they find the separation too hard or because after having to pay childcare fees and gas they don't really bring much money home, they are doing GPT sites from home. I am one of them. No, I didn't believe in those sites at first. My ...

Abortion vs Birth-Control
Look at Europe. The abortion and out-of-wedlock or teenage pregnancies are a fraction from those in America. All of which in countries that have National Healthcare with a focus on prevention, sound and responsible sex-education and enlightened birth-control attitudes. It's about time we wise up and get with the program too.
