Bum Democrats
Kucinich gives a scathing review of what the Democratic Party has turned into and, as far as I can tell, he is exactly right. I'm still not sure why their are so many people and media outlets are so willing to give these guys the benefit of the doubt when they have shown us nothing but lies and inability, just like the republicans

Other Scientists Quit Over Nutt
As I mentioned previously, Dr. Nutt was fired because of his scientific stance on drug classification and harm. Now it turns out that six of his fellow colleagues will resign due to his being fired. Theirs is a view that says "What we say is objective and evidence-based. Sometimes people do not want to hear that" to me that sounds very reminiscent of arguments from the pulpit versus science from ages ago, which, unfortunately still seem to permeate our culture today. Does anyone still believe the Earth is flat? Why do we continue to discredit science and the achievements of science? Why is it so hard to work together for the benefit of all, you know, that greater good crap, instead of fighting for more power?
