The reason it's not legalized is that too many politicians are paid well to vote to continue to keep it illegal. -which funds our prison-for-profit. -which funds our DEA -which legitimizes our attacks on drug cartels. -which allows black market profits tax free. The system of corruption is deep and complex. Don't expect legalization for logical reasons in the near future. The same complex issues keeps us in Afghanistan;

To be that well preserved took a sudden, rapid burial. That snake didn't budge - so it was a significant amount covering it very suddenly. Good anthroloigical dig. (This also explains why there's so few human fossils - humans just avoid getting covered by accident far better than snakes....although human intentional burials have been important to anthropology. )

Robecology comments on Jul 7, 2019:

With the comfort of a relationship comes the attitude of assumptions of tolerance. It's also called "complacency". We assume that we're loved "just the way we are" so we get careless with our diet and exercise routines. Couple that with the abundance of junk foods available, the ads that favor consumption, and we have an obesity epidemic on our hands. Further couple that with...as we age our metabolism slows down. our desire for the fitness "high" wanes...and thus we "let ourselves go". http://www.slate.com/content/dam/slate/articles/news_and_politics/map_of_the_week/2013/04/130417-MOTW-obesity-map.gif

Kyle obviously likes to hear himself talk. He's awfully repetitive, and obviously opinionated.

"Israel is the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign assistance since World War II. To date, the United States has provided Israel $134.7 billion (current, or noninflation-adjusted, dollars) in bilateral assistance and missile defense funding. Almost all U.S. bilateral aid to Israel is in the form of military assistance...' https://fas.org/sgp/crs/mideast/RL33222.pdf But having said that; Harris is essentially "centrist" when it comes to Israel. “Her support for Israel is central to who she is,” Harris’ campaign communications director, Lily Adams, told McClatchy. “She is firm in her belief that Israel has a right to exist and defend itself, including against rocket attacks from Gaza.” Harris’ embrace of Israel — one of her first foreign travel destinations as senator — and her diplomatic response to some of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s most controversial policies are consistent with Democrats’ traditional support for the Jewish state. Her centrist positions on Israel could help her hit back against inevitable attacks from the Trump campaign, which has signaled that it plans to play up Democratic divisions on the issue in the general election.

But - I might have to check stats here...I'm guessing most continue with a depressing life-situation. Their suffering continues...and so does all who are associated with them. On the other hand....sometimes (again; this is just me) I think it's better to let folks who've reached the end of their rope to not only let them go...but help them. Not necessarily push them, nor ignore them... But if it's "their time"...especially suffering seniors...I see a goodness in helping them say goodbye. I won't debate this with you...

I understand your frustration. As a short man who's often attracted to voluptuous women...it's been a problem for me. And we men are in love with curvy...and even "voluptuous"...but we fear/loathe "obesity". I've seen this happen to at least 2 partners. They go from - as you suggested - curvy to - voluptuous to - dare I say it...fat. I've kept close to ideal weight...so I have to be honest here....the weight gain is a simple turn-off. Yet women of the past are always a little more appealing to most men if they are, in fact, slightly overweight. The catchword is "slightly". But here's the catch. Obesity is a world-wide disease that's growing rapidly (See the link) -and it's not your fault. Doting parents set you up - quite innocently, really, to overeat. Before you could walk and talk; when you were upset food was put in your mouth. So the challenge is to break habits that are deeply ingrained in us. The trick is to do two things... 1. Tolerate hunger...especially at bedtime 2. Get moving - make sweating a daily habit. You'll be "struck by lightning" more often if you lose the weight. Good luck. http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/map_of_the_week/2013/04/obesity_in_america_cdc_releases_gif_of_epidemic_over_time.html

Elon Musk brought up a very important issue a couple of years ago at the Sorbonne...that we humans - and most of life on earth...have a remarkably narrow temperature - tolerance range. I keep it tabbed for these discussions....it's very enlightening...please save and share... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKCuDxpccYM=IwAR3k79xSQAHtyipKRkOQQzgh9oRAzI0B6WCUP5ApSyVYVr9-4cSlTZzkf-s

Good morning! What are you all up to today?

Robecology comments on Jul 4, 2019:

I have a long (200 mile) drive to a daughters' Fireworks/party along with a birthday party for a daughter in law. I may - or may not - see the "ex"...she's still invited to these shindigs...she's still "popular" with the family....so it'll be an uncomfortable visit for me. I've taken on "Veggie-kabobs" and have already pre-baked a few dozen. I'll post how it goes later tonight or tomorrow. With any luck I'll get along with the "ex" and spend the night...she lives closer to them...... hmmmmmmmm....

My water broke! I'm headed to the hospital to welcome my tiny baby into the world!

Hey, @TheAtheistBear consider using grammarly so we can figure out what you're talking about?

Home is where it's at!

Robecology comments on Jul 3, 2019:

Yep! I'm truly enjoying my view of the ocean and "hanging" in my home for days at a time. The smooth jazz streaming...me playing WWF or chatting here or on FB....it works for me!

You know, I did not blame ALL men for what went wrong in my marriage.

Robecology comments on Jul 3, 2019:

Woa; gross generalization. Hate comes when love fails. Men don't want to be hated any more than women do....let's work on our equality issues, please? I take a 50-50 approach to failed relationships....I had my issues....they had theres....a famous line in "Cool Hand Luke" sticks in my mind..."what we have here is failure to communicate". You might want to consider a fairer point of view so you can correct your behaviors before the next "hater" comes along. Please don't assume men hate any more than women do. And consider what hate is. It really is the opposite of love. You rarely hate someone who's a stranger....it's often a loved one who "allegedly" betrayed or lied to you (or you to them) so you hate that the love has broken down...and the why is not clear....so you hate that they no longer love you. Next time consider how you act that leads to the betrayal or the breaking in trust. You may be encouraging the Hate in your partners.

This looks like good news on the HIV front - they're hoping for human trials by 2020.

The little one got home from the vet mid afternoon.

Robecology comments on Jul 3, 2019:

Interesting and coincidental that you had some "jerky" for dinner... I did the same! My daughter-in-law is always experimenting with different foods...and she bought and shared a package of "chicken jerky"....very tasty, not too salty. Not pleasant to look at (looks like raw chicken which made me a little hesitant to try it) but turned out to be quite good. http://lorissaskitchen.com

To fellow scientists: How do you deal with people in social settings that speak with authority ...

Robecology comments on Jul 3, 2019:

Good scientists enjoy being proven wrong. They relish it...especially if your proof is detailed or documented well. Pseudo-scientists espouse lots of info but rarely "cite" their sources. They come on as "know-it-alls" and instead of telling you sources, they'll put the onus on you to "prove me wrong". So to answer your question of "How do you deal with people in social settings that speak with authority..." I reply; "as a teacher, I constantly reminded my students that "being a scientist" is a state of mind...not a paid position. If you are a calm skeptic....not rude, not arrogant...you just quietly demand the facts and evidence - you're being "a scientist". If the person espousing the information is reluctant to "show proof" then you've won the scientific debate; you're being the scientist....they're not. https://www.americanscientist.org/article/what-makes-a-good-scientist
