"Nonetheless I think the video makes a contribution to the conversation, one that is worthy of keeping in mind."

Point taken.  I just don't agree with the trend for everything (not just drug abuse) that people do not have responsibility for their actions.  It has a big 'political correctness" influence to it.

The only people who seem to be responsible for their actions and thus are "bad" so to speak, are conservatives or Republicans.  Maybe we just have bad genes or bad upbringings.   :-P

Politics & Religion / silicon valley and politics

This is an older article but is just as relevant today.  Why is it that silicon valley is overwhelmingly for the Democrat Party?  I would have thought that they would be for the party of "business" and less regulation:

Over the years I have had many patients coming in asking for narcotics.. Their excuses, their reasons, their scams are quite remarkable.  They know all the tricks, cons and buzz wards.  They use sad stories, try to get us to feel sorry for them,  they compliment us.  When I walk into an exam room  and the new patient comes over to introduce himself smiling from ear to ear and tells me he heard I am the best doctor and he is so glad to meet me immediately I know I am being scammed.  The real problem for us is what to do the patient really does have reasons to be in a lot of pain and nothing other than narcotics either works or does not cause listed side effect.  Yet we cannot be sure there is no abuse.  Unless we hire a private detective one cannot know for sure what is going on.

Addiction is really tough.  The trend now is the usual progressive trend toward love. 
Such as those in jail all just needed good homes.

Such as all those in ISIS just need good jobs.

Such as all addicts just are unlucky to be born with bad genes.

No one is responsible for the choices they make.  Either bad genes or bad environment or both.

This may be true for some and to some extant.  But the people who espouse this stuff all seem to be the ones who make a living off it.

Just my 2 cents.  But I am with GM.  Enough of the phony love and excuses. I for one have less sympathy for many if not most of these drug abusers.

Justices Breyer is 77 and Ruth Ginsberg 82.


Estimating longevity as avery crude rule of thumb  -  for someone who lives to 65 average span is 17 yrs
                                                                                                                75 is 12 yrs
                                                                                                                85 is 7 yrs

Or at least is was 30 yrs ago.  :-D  Maybe more now.  And we know women usually live longer than men.

Yes, the debate was a watershed with me concerning Donald Trump.

I would only vote for him as a last resort.

He just soared - to the bottom of my list.

Scalia's death most likely was natural.  How one can call it heart attack is a bit of a stretch.  Unless he was known to have significant heart disease but that does not sound likely.

First I read he didn't feel well and went to bed early

Then I hear he had no complaints.  The lodge owner certainly sounds like he is covering his ass with jerk off comments like "it was his time", absolutely no complaints etc.  After he went out hunting for 3 hrs after he knew the Justice didn't answer the call to join him and then returns to find him dead.  I know it is always easy in retrospect but certainly he may not have been dead 3 hrs earlier.

Pillow on head is by itself not clearly foul play but is a bit weird.

I have done many death certificates in my day.  I don't feel in the average situation this is that unusual but this is not the average situation.  This ain't just anybody.

Half the country is probably celebrating this.  Frankly there is NO doubt in my mind an autopsy should have been ordered.  Period.

"There is no time left to reintroduce himself and make a new first impression."

Some have voiced for Trump to stop the school yard stuff and start being more Presidential and he would have a much better chance to take this all the way.. The clinton's have proven how polls can turn around very quickly depending on what you say and how you say it.

I keep waiting for Trump to do this - hoping - but I have come to the conclusion it ain't gonna happen.  He is incapable of it.  He is what he is.  He is very flawed as a candidate.

As for surrounding himself with yes men I would guess that is right.  Although a few people who claim they "know him" state he will listen to all views before he makes decisions.

Then after he decides if he has people who will consider his word gospel than one would think they will work harder for him and what he espouses. 

Doug I agree with your position on the eminent domain topic.  It is outrageous that a person's property can be confiscated by the rich and for the rich and only but the rich.  And Trump is one of those rich guys not above being a bully.

Ted Cruz was correct in correcting John Dickerson's false 'correction' of whether or not the Senate has confirmed appointments made this late in an election year in the last 80 years."

Yes.  He was on George Stefanapadouche this AM correcting him the same way to the sucker question.  He did great

Breitbart also reminds us that Biden was the prick who "wrote the playbook" on how to stop a nomination when he did it to Bork.  I don't remember Biden much but I remember what the Dems did to Bork.

They tried to do the same to Thomas.

14567
Well so far even rhinos McConnell and Graham have been coming right and telling us Obama ain't gonna get what he wants.  The Senate may not be able to take a break this year.  Lets see if they have enough backbone for that!

the Dems never give one micron.  Its time for our side to stop playing nice.

Debbie the Schultz already saying Scalia would have wanted to be replace immediately.

Zero shame as always.  Just no class.  None.

 "A complete waste of time is the best outcome possible, and seeing them target you personally and all your properties is a more likely one.  The title changed ownership to the City and them to the sham group performing the redevelopment.  The court dates and hearings were held and an undersized check for 'value' was eventually received years later, including nothing for the loss of income during that elapsed time. (How can you have lost income on a property where you already lost title, they ask?)  Words can't describe how powerless we were against the machine of big government acting locally but empowered by Supreme Court appointees of which Trump approves and would duplicate. ]

Even if I am wrong on this (?), Trump is WAY out of step with conservatism and the will and intent of the Founding Fathers, siding instead with big government and the cronyists.  This on an issue where conservatism is IN STEP with the general public.  Cruz gets that.  Bush gets that.  Even Bernie Sanders gets that.  Saying that roads and bridges do it too, even a ballpark, doesn't make it right!"

I hear you.  Trump says that an owner can do very well if he/she play their cards right.  Easy for him to say.  Try going up a city if you are a low income old lady.   :cry:

As you point out the need for a baseball stadium and a casino is a fine line.  One could say both would benefit the overall economic health of the area they will be in .  I think his point about the hypocracy of the Bush family on this point is accurate.  I am tired of public money being used for sports stadiums.  Yet your broader points I agree with 100%

There is so much about Trump I love but there are so many aspects about him I am shall we say less than thrilled about.

This is somewhat weird.  Both Joe Scarborough and Breizinski are friends of Trump.  Is this an example of how big money attracts strange bed fellows ?  I don't know. MSLSD staff are going nuts over this    :lol: :

GOSAR: ENDING INSTANT AMNESTY FOR CUBANS

By: Rep. Paul Gosar | February 12, 2016

As a congressman representing the state of Arizona, I am never surprised that illegal immigration is the hottest topic of discussion at my town hall meetings.

With over 350 miles of shared border with Mexico, Arizona is second only to Texas in total miles of border separating us from our southern neighbor. Yet the people in my district who most adamantly call for stronger enforcement of our immigration laws may be surprising to some. It’s not those gun-totin,’ bible-clingin’ Republicans that President Obama likes to mock. In fact, the strongest supporters of upholding our immigration laws…are LEGAL immigrants.

FOLLOW It is rare for me to host a public event anymore and not talk to a legal immigrant about his or her inspiring story of becoming an American. At the core of their decision to immigrate legally to the United States is the understanding that our country is a nation of laws, and that no one—not even the President of the United States—can circumvent the law. Our Founding Fathers knew that this was the key to empowering the pursuit of prosperity.
So imagine the frustration of legal immigrants when President Obama unilaterally normalized relations with Cuba last year but refused to end provisions from the 1966 Cuban Adjustment Act which grant instant amnesty to Cubans who set foot on American soil. This is a luxury no other country in the world enjoys, so it’s fair to ask, why would we still treat immigrants from that nation any different than those from other countries? Despite Presidents Obama’s continued ideological efforts to erode American sovereignty, he can’t have it both ways… and he knows it. That is why I introduced legislation (H.R. 3818) to terminate three outdated policies that directly provide amnesty to Cuban aliens and cost taxpayers billions of dollars annually.

Last October, the Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel published a series of investigative articles exposing billions of dollars of waste at the expense of U.S. taxpayers as a result of Cuban immigration fraud. According to their yearlong research, “taxpayers spend more than $680 million per year on welfare to Cuban immigrants, not counting the cost of Medicaid health care benefits.”

Perhaps the most disturbing part of this flawed immigration policy is that Cuba does not allow Cuban citizens convicted of crimes in the U.S. to be repatriated. The Sun-Sentinel reported that

Cubans are allowed to enter the United States without visas or background checks of their criminal histories in Cuba. Unlike other immigrants seeking political asylum, Cubans can return home without jeopardizing their status, aiding crime rings that recruit accomplices and hide stolen money in Cuba.
I dare President Obama to face hard-working legal immigrants who followed the rules and patiently immigrated to this country and try to rationalize this injustice.

The unthinkable consequence of the Obama administration’s lawlessness is that, over time, hardworking legal immigrants will find somewhere else besides the United States to call home. And they won’t be alone. They will take their businesses and good-paying jobs with them. Who could blame them? If the legal foundations of our country are no longer upheld we risk undermining the very soul of the land of the free.

Congress should consider my commonsense legislation, which will level the playing field and end the outdated policies that provide amnesty to Cuban aliens and criminals. Cuban nationals should be treated under the same immigration rules as any other person seeking to immigrate to the United States and should not receive preferential treatment. The American people deserve better from our federal government… especially Americans who migrated here legally.

Congressman Paul Gosar represents Arizona’s 4th congressional district.

******Behavior problems in youth: Are things worse today than in the past?
By: DAVID C. RETTEW, M.D., Family Practice News Digital Network JANUARY 27, 2016

Every generation of adults seems to worry that the next generation of youth is in trouble. The perception of kids today is no different, with theories abounding as to why the mental health of the newest generation is slipping, compared with previous standards. From mobile phones to helicopter parents, it might seem like a foregone conclusion that our current crop of young people is destined to be insecure, inattentive, and unable to cope with challenges and stress. Many news headlines on the latest mass shooting or standardized test results often seem to confirm these widespread concerns.
Pediatricians often hear parents lamenting the “good old days” when such things as corporal punishment were more easily accepted to help keep kids in line. But taking a step back, it may be worth a more objective look to examine the assumption that child behavioral problems are worse than ever. Measuring overall mental health is not an easy task, but looking at several important metrics indicate that things may not be nearly as bad as many people think.
 
Substance abuse:
From the latest data from the Monitoring the Future Study, one of the nation’s most reliable sources on teen substance use, the use of both alcohol and tobacco among youth is at the lowest level since the study began in 1975. Use of drugs like heroin and ecstasy also are declining. The only major exception to this trend seems to be cannabis use, which has generally shown stable rates during this climate of marijuana decriminalization and, for some states, legalization.
TEEN PREGNANCY RATES
One area where there continues to be sustained progress is in teen pregnancy. According to the government’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the overall pregnancy rate among adolescent females has been cut in half from 1991 to 2011, across many different ethnic groups. The rate fell from 61.8/1,000 teenagers aged 15-19 years to 31.3/1,000 teenagers.
DELINQUENCY
Far fewer adolescents are being held against their will in juvenile detention centers. The number of youth who are incarcerated have dropped from a high of 381/100,000 in 1995 to 225/100,000 in 2010, according to a report by the Annie E. Casey Foundation.
BULLYING
Bullying has been increasingly recognized as the public health problem that it is. The use of online technology also has created many new settings in which bullying can take place. Nevertheless, there is reason to be optimistic. From the National Center for Education Statistics and the National Crime Victimization Survey, the number of students who report being bullied at school has dropped from 32% in 2007 to an all-time low of 22% in 2013. Another recent study reached similar conclusions for bullying and many other forms of child victimization between 2003 and 2011 (JAMA Pediatr. 2014 Jun;168[6]:540-6).
SUICIDE
According to the CDC, the rate of completed suicide in youth peaked in the early1990s and then dropped and stabilized before starting to creep up again over the past 5 or so years. The trends are somewhat different, based on gender and the specific age group that is examined. The majority of completed youth suicides occur in males, with current rates still well below those historical highs.
PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS
This one is particularly tricky. While the rates of many specific psychiatric disorders such as ADHD and bipolar disorder have been rising in youth, as well as the use of psychiatric medications, it is much less clear whether this represents a true rise in these disorders versus other factors such as improved detection and a lower diagnostic threshold. One study by Achenbach et al. that measured quantitative levels of child behavior problems from the same rating scale over a 23-year time span found some increases in overall levels from the 1970s to the early 1990s, but then levels began to fall by the end of the millennium (J Abnorm Child Psychol. 2003 Feb;31[1]:1-11).
Of course, these hopeful trends in many significant areas do not mean that these problems have been overcome. While much work remains to be done on many fronts, it is still worth keeping in mind that the overall condition of youth mental health may not be as dire as we might be led to believe and that there is evidence that our efforts, perhaps, are leading to some progress.

I don't know we need more Federal money to treat drug addiction. I am tired of the genetic excuses for cause of every drug addict now.  This is a treatment lobby getting lots and lots of money spent on it just like academic lobby.  Has anyone seen the price of health care stocks now compared to several years ago?  Who knows of anyone whose health insurance went down.

I would rather we give capital punishment to drug dealers like in Singapore and stop the Mexicans from flooding out markets with drugs.  With prescription drugs there certainly are doctors who abuse it to make money but I would say it is hard to draw the line when it is reasonable (medically justified) and when it is just for cash.  But we need strict punishments for them too.  In the 90's all we heard was the popular notion that doctors did not treat pain enough so there was this big push to be more liberal with pain meds.  I am not surprised at the outcome.

"Which brings as to Trump and the revolt on the right.  This is less about ideology and policies than the businessman’s political style and Republican disgust with Washington. "

Depends what one means about ideology.  I suppose if one means strict "conservatism" or strict "constitutionalism", I would agree.

But if one means the ideology of putting America first, dealing with the world with our interests first, immigration, loss of jobs overseas, trade deals that may not be the best for us, being wimps with other countries, no giving ourselves away for globalization then I would say ideology has a lot to do with Trump.

I thought Rubio's comment about his disappointing showing was perfect.  He took full responsibility admitted he believes it was due to the poor debate showing with regards to Christie (ironically who did not benefit from his torpedo of Rubio) and that "it will NOT happen again".

FWIW I loved that answer and feel it is a very good one and he sounded convincing in that he will not make the same mistake twice.

This is exactly one of the traits I am looking for from a President.  Not someone who will blame others, never admit a mistake  and make every excuse that could be dreamed of like Clinton.

Bush now in 2nd in NH by one poll!  God help us.  He is a disaster.

I would take Christie over him.  Maybe even Kasich...... :?

I would certainly vote Trump before him

I ddin't see the debate.  Was Rubio really that bad or is the MSM and his political enemies making it out to be worse?

I thought this suspicious and if nothing else a real insult in Denver that he didn't at the very least say "Coors":

It is one thing GS paying her a fortune in bribes but I don't understand why we don't hear why public universities are paying these people fortunes to speak.

With all the noise about the cost of colleges and then we hear them paying their favorite politicians with these kind of fees to speak?

And what about her promising all over the place college students all sorts of stuff while she herself goes around raping the universities for obscene speaking fees.
