My concern is not over marijuana use. Instead, it's about previous psychiatric treatment. I have totally recovered from those problems but I fear that the labels will follow me around for the rest of my life if these records are centralized.

And if you have no means as a result of a physical disability, just where does that leave you?

I'm crippled with arthritis and will be pretty much helpless in the event of a depression. Right now I'm totally dependent on family and if my dad gets laid off then I'm fucked. I'm being thrown into a catastrophe with my hands tied behind my back. Suicide is an attractive option under the...

I have serious health problems and am scared to death about the proposed centralization of medical records. Is there any way to destroy my records so the government can't touch them?

Schiff often talks about how we have too many people employed in sectors they shouldn't be employed in. What sectors are the worst offenders?

SSRIs reduce testosterone and growth hormone production, perhaps through the suppression of REM sleep. The drugs reduce the duration of REM by something like 50%, and it's during REM that hormones are secreted.

Can you explain the occult symbol in the cannabis plant? I don't see it. Also, if you're religious, why don't you oppose the use of marijuana?

If you want an example of a feminizing substance that millions are currently exposed to, start with SSRIs, i.e. anti-depressants. Any doctor who gives these drugs to an developing or adolescent male is a criminal in my opinion.

What will the lawyers do if nobody has any money for them to fight over?

Well, be advised that ignorance on the subject of exercise is at least as widespread as economic ignorance. Walking is excellent from an ergonomic standpoint but not intense enough to produce much in the way of physiological improvement. Walking is really just the bare minimum needed to avoid...

Whoa, that's totally false. It's exactly the opposite: the human body is well suited for running and poorly suited for cycling and swimming. Running does not damage healthy knees; in fact, impact loading "strengthens" the cartilaginous joint surface and makes it more resilient. There was...

Having gotten mixed up with psychiatry as a teenager is possibly the biggest regret of my life to date. Just short of jumping off the Golden Gate bridge, about the most dangerous thing you can do is to go through life with an artificially elevated mood produced by psychiatric drugs. It very much...

Since many corporations are the beneficiaries of state privilege and engage in lobbying activities, is it immoral to invest in them?
