  1. The Home & Home with Tulane also looks real good, there in 2011 and Denton for 2012, especially since we are losing UNO in that particular market. Their contact does have an unusual name though.

  5. I read on facebook that Collin Mangrum is graduating this year and going to grad school elsewhere next year. Could this be an extra scholarship for us?

  6. I love it when people fight over which imaginary friend is better. It's like elementary school, but with less logic involved.

  7. Prove that it IS more harmful. That's what you are supposed to do in a free society. You need a reason to make (or keep) something illegal, not to make something legal. But just because you asked: Deaths from the two substances. There are hundreds of alcohol overdose deaths each year, yet there has never been a marijuana overdose death in history. The consumption of alcohol is also the direct cause of tens of thousands of deaths in the U.S. each year. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control reported 20,687 “alcohol-induced deaths” (excluding accidents and homicides) in 2003. In the same year, the CDC has no reports of “marijuana-induced deaths.” Source: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/alcohol.htm In 2001, there were 331 alcohol overdose deaths and 0 marijuana overdose deaths. Source: U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC). http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5337a2.htm Alcohol is one of the most toxic drugs, and using just 10 times what one would use to get the desired effect can lead to death. Marijuana is one of – if not the – least toxic drugs, requiring thousands times the dose one would use to get the desired effect to lead to death. This “thousands times” is actually theoretical, since there has never been a recorded case of marijuana overdose. Source: The American Scientist, the Magazine of Sigma Xi, the Scientific Research Society Long-term marijuana use is far less harmful than long-term alcohol use. Source: Iversen, Leslie. Current Opinion in Pharmacology. Volume 5, Issue 1, February 2005, Pages 69-72 There has never been a documented case of lung cancer in a marijuana-only smoker, and recent studies find that marijuana use is not associated with any type of cancer. The same cannot be said for alcohol, which has been found to contribute to a variety of long-term negative health effects, including cancers and cirrhosis of the liver.

  8. Only one answer, more and more tax money to this "drug war" that we are clearly winning. Legalizing weed and trying to stop real drugs is the only logical choice. I also don't understand why we have given billions to Mexico's leaders when they are some of the most corrupt individuals in the world. I guarantee you most if not all of that money is funding, or helping the cartel kingpins. It's 2010 people, let's take a note from California's book and move to legalize it, they will be voting in November to do this and I hope it passes and the drug warriors don't pull the "save the children" crap again. Taxing it and selling it to people over 21 will keep it away from children. You think drug dealers ID kids? Hell no. Over 50% of people want to see this happen and it's all just a matter of time before it's no longer taboo and the older generation who were subject to seeing refer madness get some sanity of their own and just get with the times. Marijuana is the cartels main cash cow and no one would smoke dirt mexiweed is it was legal and grown in the states and that's the truth. I just have never understood how it's okay for a man to come home from a hard days work and drink 6 beers each night and tear his liver in half as opposed to smoking a bowl and going to sleep with virtually no ill effects...

  9. Even MSNBC said it was probably a typo...... which is more generous (and professional) than Fox would have been had it been the DNC that had made the same mistake. Of course, the timing of this mistake was absolutely terrible. Now former big contributers to the RNC are going to other conservative venues to make contributions. Michael Steele is an absolute disaster as head of the RNC. But don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. This family values party ( ) is really making the Bible thumping faction of the party nice and proud. However, I will say that I like how the current Republicans go out and get their jollies. It's much more normal than the former leaders who started wars as as way to get theirs.
