Sam @ 18 - thanks for doing my research for me. I miss Michael's blog . . .
Oh golly. I hadn't read about the strokes when I talked about stupid pills. Sorry.
Michael @ 8: Who was the blogger who summarized such people as saying "I used to be a liberal, but after 9-11, I am outraged by Chappaquidick?" Atrios maybe.
I too am horrified to learn that Bradbury is a bush fan. Ugh. There's never been censorship in America? Huh? Did he take stupid pills or something?
A.J. Luxton @139 -
I conclude that in Discworld, the afterlife is a combination of what you believe and what you deserve. So, yeah, hell. Or purgatory for a good long time, anyway.
I can see that is is bad taste to rejoice in the death of another, but why is it morally wrong? I'm not seeing it.
(I smiled the day Milosovich died, myself)
I suspect there have been threads here talking about people's favorite scifi authors, but I am not finding them via the search function. Could someone please point me to them, as I need some new authors? Thanks much.
Dave Bell #6 and TNH #40: but I would pay twice as much for an Honor Harrington book that was trimmed and tightened all the way through.
I'd like to suggest a different view. Some astonishing number of people die every year from drug interactions. I do think doctors need to know what people are taking. And yes, once there is a database, it will eventually be hacked, or used by the governement, or otherwise misused.
How about if we remove the stigma from taking the meds, instead of trying to hide out? I'd bet a quarter of people or more have taken antidepressants. Maybe it is time for us to say so what?
BTW, I take both antidepressants and methylphenidate (generic ritalin) so I do have a stake in this.
