If anyone you know if using Methamphetamines, please try to get them some help. The Montana Meth Project has a series of television advertisements that do a great job of showing what happens to people who end up traveling down the dark, lonesome path of Methamphetamine addiction, and you can view all of the ads at this page. The scenes depicted are eerily accurate and a few are downright gory, and they are obviously based on real world stories of Methamphetamine addiction, so consider yourself warned. Reality is sometimes scarier than any horror movie.

"Meth is derived from amphetamine, and is commonly made using the base chemicals ephedrine or pseudoephedrine found in over-the-counter medicines. Other common household products can be added to make Meth, including: acetone, iodine, anhydrous ammonia (fertilizer), hydrochloric acid (pool supply), lithium (batteries), red phosphorus (matches or road flares), sodium hydroxide (lye), sulfuric acid (drain cleaner), and toluene (brake fluid)."

Doesn't sound exactly appetizing, does it?

Maria Hampton tells us about "How Britain is Eating Its Young" - “Society is hollowing out, but not just in the rotting boroughs of south London. The middle classes are anxious too. Many are richer but few seem happier. Mental illness abounds. White-collar jobs are outsourced to India. Everyone looks for meaning in their lives – but all they find is shopping."

Newsweek's Eleanor Clift has a friendly remind that "Bin Laden, Still Haunting Bush" - "Their objective is to drag the United States into “bleeding wars,” or quagmires. Their role model is the war in Afghanistan against the Soviets in the 1980s."

"Before War, CIA Warned of Negative Outcomes"

LA Weekly reflect on Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 541 Misinterpreted"- "Bradbury imagined a democratic society whose diverse population turns against books: Whites reject 'Uncle Tom’s Cabin' and blacks disapprove of 'Little Black Sambo'. He imagined not just political correctness, but a society so diverse that all groups were 'minorities'. He wrote that at first they condensed the books, stripping out more and more offending passages until ultimately all that remained were footnotes, which hardly anyone read."
