Witches, waco, and more

A few links around the web and blogosphere...

This is an interesting look at causes of death in America related to drugs, tobacco and alcohol. Notice marijuana’s billing. I have smoked in the past, but I finally decided it wasn’t right for me. It wasn’t particularly dangerous, as far as I could tell. And, despite what Bill O’Reilly and Michael Savage say about pot, when I wanted to stop using it, I never thought about it again. I’ve been trying to quit cigarettes for 10 years and fail every time.

The problems with pot for me were laziness and hangovers. Most users claim it doesn’t cause a hangover, but I believe it affects people differently. I usually had a headache the next day, and I felt like I hadn’t eaten for three days – fatigue and general lethargy. Compared to alcohol, the hangover affect was minimal, but it was too strong for me. It had to go. The positives didn’t outweigh the negatives.



Is there something in the water in Waco, Texas? Hector Vex has the story.



Overlawyered has a tale of socialist tolerance taking place in Cana-duh.



The Echoes of Forever blog posted a comical look at the Left's apparent agenda.


    1) Impeach and destroy Bush, Cheny, Rove, etc.
    2) Get Hilary Clinton or John Kerry into the Presidency.
    3) Withdrawl all troops from all overseas locations.
    4) Watch with glee as Iraq falls apart, validating their twisted beliefs that Chimpy McBushhitler was evvvvvilllllll and wroooooong!
    5) Ignore the ensuing slaughter of innocents on a scale the U.S. Military could never come close to matching.
    6) Try to negotiate with terrorists to avoid future bloodshed. Release all prisoners from Gitmo, etc.
    7) Ban guns, promote homosexuality, remove control of children from parents and give it to the government, destroy or severely limit religion, and so on.
    8) Generally drive the nation so far to the left that it tips over and people fall off.
