POPSAttacking Alzheimer's with Red Wine and Marijuana "Could people smoke marijuana to prevent Alzheimer's disease if the disease is in the family? We're not saying that, but it might actually work," he said. "What we are saying is it appears that a safe, legal substance that mimics those important properties of marijuana can work on receptors in the brain to prevent memory impairments in aging. So that's really hopeful."

POPSAnimal rights activist on FBI's 'Most Wanted Terrorists' list Well, I guess not many will agree with me on this one but I think this is ridiculous. I am anti-violence, but a part of me has much respect for these humans in their great devotion and sacrifices for earth's other dwellers. Animals are slaughtered daily for food or simply because there are too many of them on properties the money-lusters want to exploit. We show so little respect for human life today, why not make a political statement by "destruction of property"? Not that it seems to do any good in this world but I would like to think that trying to save animals lives would earn some good karma. Now go ahead and blast me.

POPSAttacking Alzheimer's with Red Wine and Marijuana What we are saying is it appears that a safe, legal substance the mimics those important properties of marijuana can work What they are saying is, don't grow your own, or legalise pot, but buy their upcoming (probably expensive) cure so the pharmatocracy can keep getting rich. All the while, you'll be protected from this *harmful* weed, via the war on drugs. Win/win, eh? :).

POPSWHAT'S NEW for 6/7/07 Bob's weekly column is 'must' reading for me. In particular these two items in this week's column caught my eye. Robert L. Park is a professor of physics and former chair of the Department of Physics at the University of Maryland. He divides his time between the University and the Washington, DC office of the American Physical Society, which he opened in 1982. Author of more than a hundred technical papers on the structure and properties of single-crystal surfaces, Professor Park now devotes himself to helping the public distinguish genuine scientific advances from foolish and fraudulent claims. A frequent guest on news programs, he posts a provocative and widely-read weekly column on the internet, and is the author of "Voodoo Science: the Road from Foolishness to Fraud".
