Bad Medicine - (USA)
Forbes Magazine says that about 1/3 of youthful pot smokers use marijuana to replace "legitimate" medicines because of side effects from the legal medicines or because pot is more effective. Some teens are smoking marijuana not just for recreation but to self-medicate emotional problems, sleep difficulties and pain, a new study shows. Researchers conducted in-depth interviews with 63 adolescents who smoked marijuana regularly. About a third of the teens said they used the drug as a medicatio

Landay McClatchy Newspapers WASHINGTON — A growing number of U.S. intelligence, defense and diplomatic officials have concluded that there's little hope of preventing nuclear-armed Pakistan from disintegrating into fiefdoms controlled by Islamist warlords and terrorists, posing a greater threat to the U.S. than Afghanistan's terrorist haven did before 9/11.

Destroying our Youth Through Popular Culture - (USA)
By Mister FoxOne of the weapons used to destroy our young people is what is known as the “Culture Wars.” Modern, popular music transmits raw uninhibited energy, emotion and excitement often with catchy tunes but is negative and corruptive. Those who doubt this should listen to, say, “Heavy Metal” or “Rap” then perhaps some Tudor church music and compare the feelings and images that are aroused. The first produce the desire to hurt or mistreat others, the second, an uplifting spiritual sense and

Stay Safe on the Seas When Boating - (USA)
by Celeste Izon Humans are land mammals, but we sure love our time in the water. People will go to great lengths to travel to cool northern lakes in the summer, and hot southern beaches in winter. A vacation just isn’t the same without spending time in the water. Boating provides fun and exhilarating sport, and it can be a relaxing hobby. Whether you’re speeding along with the surf slapping wildly at the helm, or floating lazily on an inflatable raft, the water provides a beautiful and fascina

THE DAILY BLADE: The First Earth Day - (USA)
An unintentionally hilarious piece in The New Yorker casts a nostalgic eye on the origins of Earth Day: The first celebration of Earth Day, on April 22, 1970, was a raucously exuberant affair. In New York, Fifth Avenue was closed to traffic. People picnicked on the sidewalk; dead fish were dragged through midtown; and Governor Nelson Rockefeller rode a bicycle across Prospect Park. Students in Richmond, Virginia, handed out bags of dirt (to represent the “good earth”); demonstr

So, after running into heavy opposition among Congressional Democrats and growing public hostility to his plan, Mr. Obama has now recast the debate as an at

Marijuana Issue Reaches Tipping Point - (USA)
There are some advocates out there that believe we’ve reached a “tipping point” with overturning the current cannabis laws. Despite the same rhetoric from government officials on the war on drugs, it does feel like there is a change in the air in regards to marijuana. After all, more and more television shows and feature movies are becoming more and more popular. Keith Stroup, founder of NORML, the organization that fights for marijuana legalization, sees a tipping point. He refers to a 2002
