The L A District Attorney has announced that he is going to institute a massive campaign of prosecuting medical dispensary marijuana outlets that have mushroomed throughout the city of Los Angeles. He says he's "just following the law" but the City Council says that cash transactions of marijuana sales should be allowed as long as there is no profit. The D A himself has stated that he would allow marijuana usage from a "marijuana cooperative". I'm not sure how that would work and I fail to see the distinction myself between paying for marijuana or smoking it for free. But this action today will adversely impact a lot of cancer and AIDS and glaucoma victims who have come to depend on the marijuana to ease their symptoms, that can't be controlled any other way. Of course the people of California legalized medical marijuana ten or so years ago, and to my way of thinking that means that as long as you go to a doctor who proscribes it a treatment, then it should be legal.
Maybe I dreamed it but I thought I heard that the impitus behind this new mamogram ruling by the US government is that they have in fact discovered a cure for most cancers that will become comon place soon, and that this ruling is just a transition issue tword recognition of that fact. It would certainly seem that if a group has researched the issue and made their conclusions, then who am I to dispute them? Why would any woman want to undergo such an apparently unfomfortable prodecure and it's attendant worries, if it were not necessary. Especially because all that exposure to X rays may in fact contribute to any cancer. Most women who have had surgery come from a place of fear and drive themselves crazy with "what if" scenarios. It seems that women are hysterical over the news and on the phones to their doctors. Others cry that it's all a conspiracy of the H M O's to cut costs. You know something? "Cutting costs" may not be entirely a bad thing. To me it's a ballancing act. This whole field of "defensive medicine" is costing us all out the wazoo in hiked medical insurance costs! I think anyone who visits their doctor with the idea he's infallible is living in a fool's paradise. But if indeed cancer cures are just around the corner we may find this entire debate nothing short of silly in five years, if people who already have cancers can be cured.
Just as I feared and hinted about, President Obama is letting the Chinese walk all over him at these summets. Apparently the President has made absolutely no headway in his push for the Chinese to adopt "Clean Coal". Also it was stated that the Chinese will not DROP the price of their currency. But just as a reality check, the issue was whether the Chinese would allow their currency to rise under the same "free market forces" they profess to be so fond of. If the currency were allowed to rise to establish market equalibrium, then the issue of new terrifs would be a mute point. Meanwhile Google News pointed out that from 1948 through 2002, that US Industrial "Capacity" has never dipped, that is until George W took over. The Chinese don't care about our industrial capacity or production, and it's not really their business to care, but our business to care about that. They say now that industrial plants in this country will continue to close even as the so called "financial" recovery continues, bringing the new loss of still more jobs. All I can say if we really need a President who cares about American worker pride. Do you know where we can find one?
There is the plot of Days of our Lives which I believe now merits my commenting on. There is this woman named Nicole. She was "found out" in one lie about her arranging an illegal adoption of a baby from an under aged troubled teenager, because she lost her own fetus in a miscarriage with little hope of getting pregnant again. But now they are learning the rest of the truth. That Nicole arranged for her long term rival, Samantha (who got pregnant by Nicole's future husband, Elvis Di Mira), whom her (now) husband was in love with and whose relation Nicole wanted to quench, seemingly at any cost, that Nicole arranged for Samantha to give birth in the SAME hospital that the troubled teenager gave birth in, and they both gave birth coincidentally on the SAME day, and had babies of the same sex, in this case, females. And she got the doctor to switch the babies minutes after birth, while he was giving Samantha's baby a post natal exam. Now everybody, and notibly Samantha, the wronged woman - has found out that a baby she believed was hers didn't die as she had thought but was alive and well and her worst enemy, Nicole is taking care of her. I look at this plot and realize that sometimes Wrong just had blind luck on its side and sometimes "things can just come together" but don't call it the will of God like a Christian might do. Fred Mc Murry found out that "things coming together perfectly" may be just the Wrong sign to infer a green light from, and that as in the case of Double Indemnity, was the worst mistake of his life. You wonder how many other "unhappy coincidences" happen where people do wrong and seem to get supernatural aid, or at least a "push" in doing so. The truth almost invariably comes out. In the book "Legacy of Secrecy" the whole link between the Kennedy Assassination and the Mafia and Cuba and Watergate and Dick Chaney and Gerald Ford is unwraveled, strand by strand. Sometimes you suspect someone is lying. Elvis Di Mira believed his wife was lying, but he couldn't prove anything, as in the case of "Dial M for Murder" when you try to put all the pieces together they don't always Fit upon the first try. But that doesn't mean that the puzzle pieces don't indeed form a picture. As in the case of the origins of Christianity, we don't have the whole picture yet. My gut feeling, like Elvis Di Mira is, that I'm being lied to in a massive way. But I can't prove it- - and I haven't been able to make all the pieces fit - - Yet.
