The New Miracle Drug?

Aspirin, over the years, one hundred or so, has been labeled the miracle drug, though its history goes back thousands of years, to when individuals looked to the willow tree for acetylsalicylic acid.  Is cannabis the new miracle drug? 

“Cannabis may help combat cancer"
“Cannabis helps ease the pain of multiple sclerosis sufferers"
“Brain creates its own marijuana-like chemicals, scientists find"

To your health.

21st Century Marie Antoinette

The phrase, “Let them eat cake,” is attributed to Marie Antoinette, erroneously per this Dear Yahoo posting.  Be that as it may, the phrase brings to mind the actual nature of uncaring polticos, like, say, Teresa Heinz Kerry, who had this to say about hurricane relief efforts directed at individuals who have been driven from their homes.

"Clothing is wonderful, but let them go naked for a while, at least the kids,” said Heinz Kerry, the wife of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry. “Water is necessary, and then generators, and then food, and then clothes."

Mommy knows best, I guess.
