Was the Declaration of Independence Illegal?
Posted Oct 23, 2011
UK Barristers and US lawyers met in Philadelphia to discuss this. Look at the BBC magazine's article:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-15345511
It has a summary on the arguments of both sides, and there are over 400 comments on it.
What do you guys think? I am an American but I don't feel that is the best thing to be and with our current overseas adventures (or misadventures) being what they are I am definately not PROUD to be one.
After having had the opportunity to live in Germany and in Greece for ten years, I know that there are saner places to live and I wish that more Americans had that opportunity to do that and maybe we'd elect better candidates than we have been. (Sorry for the run-on sentence but this isn't in or I'd have a better editor to improve it).
Anyway, I'd like to see what some others think about this. But please don't hold me resposible for our gov'ts activities. I'm sure that the mother country wouldn't have us back, even if our succession was in fact illegal.

New drug trips for terminally ill cancer patients.
Posted Sep 28, 2011
It appears that very controlled doses of hallucinogens have increased terminally ill and late stage cancer patient's quality of life immensely.

The long lasting effects of the well-being feeling engendered by these trips are astounding as well. The patients seem to have undergone a 'basic change' of mind. These trips went a long way in adjusting their thoughts about death and mitigating the fear of death. This is much better than the current form of opiates and other pain control as the longevity of the changes do not require repeated doses.
The combined experience of thousands of years of shamans and aboriginal peoples is being put to good use. Unfortunately, after Dr. Timothy Leary's less than ethical handling of hallucinogens and other abusers of drugs during the psychedelic sixties, research in this area of psychopharmacology was discouraged.
In America, at least ,death is such a taboo, and everyone seems to regard it as the enemy that this leaves advanced-stage cancer sufferers in a very bad way. Perhaps this regimen will improve the emotional and physical well-being of such patients.
