Crack dealers or dope pushers will not lock you up, tell you that their poison is medicine and then force you to take it while charging your parents or insurance company 500 - 1000 dollars a day to subject you to treatment worthy of a gulag or a gitmo. This is criminal activity which is legal and sanctioned and subsidized.
The grandaddy of all psych meds was phenothiazine, a yellow dye and insecticide that calmed people right down when they were given a less than lethal does of the nerve poison. From that came the "typical" anti-psychotics thorazine, haldol, stellazine, mellarill etc.
Nerve posions do not improve brain function.
Flouride and flourine are toxic to the thyroid and guess what is in the SSRIs folks? The beneficial effects of these drugs come from the toxic effects on the thyroid as well as the weight gain, libido problems etc.
If you have a serotonin imbalance just eat beans, salmon and turkey, but NO! that would be bad for business so take a poison pill instead. It won't kill you, just your mind and who the hell needs that?
The VT shooter was on drugs. Most of these incidents involve people being treated for depression and other psych problems and these shooters are whacked on drugs. The news media will not report it because that is bad for business and bad for their sponsors. The news media knows about this and will not report it.
George Bush senior ran the Lilly drug company between 1976 and 1978 and it took him being vice presidnet for Prozac to get approved.
We know the horror stories when it come to the very bad reaction that these drugs have on people but what is even more troubling is the effect that these drugs have on those who are still able to function despite the toxic burden on their nervous system. What is the net effect of having a culture where a significant percentage of the population is whacked on psych meds? Its a tough question because when you are crazy you are generally the last one to notice it and that is true of societies and cultures just as it is for people.
America acts like just another school shooter and Iran is next in our target sight.
Lysine and tryptophan are precursors to serotonin.
A diet lacking in beans, turkey and salmon may be the problem if your diagnosis of a serotonin imbalance was correct.
Whenever I fell depressed, I correct my diet and the depression is gone. You can't think straight if you don't eat right.
Flouride compounds are bad for your thyroid.
you said:
"In the meantime try using the remove hidden metadata tool from MS. It's free and even a monkey could use it."
Do you have any idea how difficult it is to get a monkey to work for the federal government?
Next time, I would suggest using "even a caveman could use it."
It isn't "Bush's war" - it is the war of the military industrial complex, the corporate media and both parties.
I fail to see how bringing the troops home will improve the bottom line of our noble defense contractors. Where else can you get paid a hundred dollars for doing a bag of laundry? How are we going to justify replacing military hardware unless we use it or get it blowed up.
Besides, if we bring the troops home then Al Qaeda will have to come here to kill Americans and plant IEDs. That would not be a good idea, traffic is already bad enough without the occasional IED going off during rush hour. This would be a great inconvenience for the taxpayer who expects someone in the military to take that sort of heat for them.
I dont think that Mr. Kamiya has thought this out clearly. Maybe he is a liberal.
Will someone please think of the poor defense contractors?
I thought i was being satirical but you have outdone me by 10 fold.
You have a great talent for presenting the absurd in a dignified and humorous manner.
That's why he gets the big money. If he was the kind of guy you want they wouldn't let him in front of a camera. Look at the sponsors. He is doing exactly what they want.
Dan Rather got it right with those supposedly discredited memos and look where it got him.
If it is right, then it will not be a part of the corporate news media.
He recently denied knowing in advance about the collapse/(demolition).

He told Peter Jennings that he as informed prior to the collapse that the tower was going to collapse.
Who told him?
How did they know the towers were going to fall?
As mayor, why didn't he order the firefighters and police to evacuate the building prior to its collapse given that he says he was told about it in advance?
If the above link isn't there, click on my name to view the clip with Giuliani talking to Peter Jennings.
On David Letterman Obama was questioned about cigarette smoking and Letterman suggested that a president who smoked would look cool. Obama quipped that he could blow smoke in the face of the Iranian president. Laughs for all.
Do we really want another bozo who thinks that insulting foreign leaders is cool? Especially the leader of a country that we seem bound and determined to provoke into war for no good reason other than to waste more American lives and treasure in pursuit of filling the coffers of the war mongers?
Last time I checked Iran hadn't attacked the United States.
Let's blow some more smoke in their faces and see what we can stir up.
It apparently is the Republican and Democratic thing to do.
I think that one president who thinks that war is funny and diplomacy is comedy is enough.
