The OJ case is all politics and media to him.

He doesn't see it as domestic vioence and he has absolutely zero empathy for people who grew up in homes with domestic violence.

He's completely emotionally incapable of seeing this case through their eyes.

This case really shows how absolutely cold-blooded and inhuman those culti-crit types can be.

Race, class, media, celebrity -- these empathy-imaired people understand everything but human emotional pain.

Lots of adults in this country had to grow up watching domestic violence in their homes and they weren't able to do anything about it because they were children.

Watching OJ stuck in jail can a very empowering experience.

Go Nevada law enforcement!

Stick it to that bastard as hard as you can. Get this man into prison where he belongs.

Too many phytoestrogens come along with it.

I wish vegans and vegetarians success with their high plant estrogen diets. More power to them if this doesn't end up eventually doing something nasty and hormonal to their bodies.

Plant protein as it turns out does something nasty and hormonal to my body.

If they want to call me a murderer for eating meat, then I'm going to call them murderers right back because I WILL die if I eat like a vegan or a vegetarian.

Why does it feel so extremely good to see this man being held accountable? It feels better than meditation or medication. It tastes better than ice cream. It's more comfortable and inviting than a warm house on a cold day.

See, the drug laws are written to be race blind. But when the law enforcement hits the ground, somehow as if by magic, they tend to land on black people a lot harder than they land on whites. Just go look at any prison.

I think in particular the LAPD's racist maniac style of fighting this war seriously alienated a lot of people from law enforcement in LA and that's one of the things that made it impossible for the homicide detectives to win any credibility at all from the jury.

It's hard to even verbalize how much it bothers me. It bothers the words right out of my throat.

In early sobriety, we often have a low threshold of pain, perhaps because we are not producing enough endorphins, and our body chemistry is all out of whack.

Scientists are discovering a lot about how the cannabinoid system works and it's discrediting these old hand-waving arguments about endorphins.

For example, it's now recognized as complete BS that the "runner's high" comes from endorphins. Opiates make people sleepy and constipated. Running does not make runners feel sleepy and constipated. People do not nod off in the middle of a marathon.

An experiment at Georgia Tech a few years ago showed that people running for 45 minutes produce an enormous spike in their brains of anandamide, the chemical that belongs to the general class of molecules similar to the active ingredients in cannabis.

The cannabinoid system regulates many functions in the brain and body and one of them is PERCEPTION of pain.

Opiates deal with pain by dulling the actual nerves. That's why they can kill you. You have opiate receptors in your brain stem, so opiates can slow down not just your pain-transmitting nerves, but also the nerves controlling your breathing.

So the cost of an accidental overdose of opiate pain relief is respiratory arrest.

The cannabinoid system does not attack pain by slowing down any nerves. The cannabinoid system works on the PERCEPTION of pain, not the actual transmission through the nerves. There are no CB1 receptors in the brain stem, so there's no danger of a fatal overdose.

There's pretty compelling evidence now that PTSD is caused by stress chemical induced damage to the CB1 system.

A lot of addicts end up with PTSD because of the traumatic lifestyle they lead. That's probably enough to seriously damage the CB1 system, especially if you belong to any genetic subgroup of humanity that produces mucked up copies of the genes that encode the CB1 receptor proteins.

So I think what a newly sober addict is probably short on is cannabinoids.

In fact it could be that many addicts start out with CB1 systems that are already damaged or genetically inadequate in some way.

But I think that the cultural war against cannabis is going to keep this new scientific understanding of the human brain from the public.

Seriously -- how could this information POSSIBLY be incorporated into biology textbooks and neuroscience textbooks, without "sending a mixed message to children about drugs"?

We're going to raise a whole generation of Americans with a huge gaping ignorant hole in their understanding of how their own brains and bodies work, because we don't want them to get confused about the evils of marijuana.

Giuliani's position on medical marijuana is the most backward and scientifically debunkable position of anyone in the entire candidate spectrum.

If Salon wasn't so determined to keep medical marijuana censored from public discussion during this campaign, then you could attack him for his terrible ignorance of science.

But alas -- you can't expose him as an ignoramus if you're consciously complicit in maintaining public ignorance about medical marijuana science yourselves.
