coderman: vote coderman for president: "too many secrets" ends here!
coderman: i am your SETEC ASTRONOMY candidate!
coderman: (so what happens if a president decides to declassify about 95% of the classified information protected by the government?)
coderman: one metric fuck ton of torrents, is what happens!
coderman: "Moreover, the government argues that the EFF doesn't understand the full power of the state secrets spell. They cite a recent decision (.pdf) by a Virginia District Court that dismissed a case brought by a man who said he was kidnapped, turned over to the CIA, flown to Afghanistan and tortured." - wow.
coderman: <USGov> if we can kidnap and torture motherfuckers with impunity, what the hell do you think is going to happen in this case?
Mutiny: Apparently EFF didn't get the memo that the executive branch can do whatever the fuck it damn well pleases and nobody else is going to tell it otherwise.

If we've reached the nadir of the American Empire, nobody seems overly concerned about it. Does anybody out there have a conscience anymore?

coderman: [consulting the Magic 8 Ball] "ask again later..."
Mutiny: NADIR indeed.
coderman: "In short, where the hell is everybody?
coderman: "I'll tell you where they are. They're at home, tuning in to root for the next "American idol." They're plugged into their iPods, utterly self-involved and disconnected from what lies just outside their doors. " - lol, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die. maybe everyone knows it's all going to shit in short order and they're taking every last ounce of comfort on the way out... ;)
Mutiny: I'm disgusted that more Americans are probably more concerned with the politics in WORLD OF WARCRAFT than in the American government.
Mutiny: OMG are you Alliance or Horde? SHUT THE FUCK UP, NERD, AND GET OUT THERE.

Heavy marijuana use not linked to lung cancer
posted by kp at 2006-05-25 19:39

kp: "It seems even heavy, long-term marijuana users do not appear to increase the risk of head and neck cancers, such as cancer of the tongue, mouth, throat, or esophagus."
kp: "The heaviest smokers in the study had smoked more than 22,000 marijuana cigarettes, or joints, while moderately heavy smokers had smoked between 11,000 to 22,000 joints."
cryptomail: The correct term in this journal should be marijuana "CIGARETTES", NOT joints :\
cryptomail: But whatevs
kp: marijuana cigarettes=joints
cryptomail: yes I know slapnutz :)
lemonodor: what about emphysema?
