STOP THE WAR (On Drugs)

We do NOT need Congress to stop the stupid prohibition laws regarding drugs. THE STATES can pass a constitutional amendment. It takes 3/4 of the states, but it can be done. It would be in the best interest of the NRA to join this effort. Most of the gun violence is caused by the continuing prohibition laws.

I have taken a stab at writing the amendment. However, I am NOT a constitutional law expert and I am pretty sick. I recommend that you carefully review this idea.

'The government shall make no law restricting the dispensation of any substance that can be inserted into a human body by eating, smoking, ingesting, absorbing or injecting the substance into the human body. A substance which can be inserted into a human body must be accompanied by a list of ingredients and their affect on the human body, if known.'

Nothing in the amendment stops a corporation from requiring a doctor's prescription for dispensing a dangerous medication. Nothing in the amendment requires insurance to pay for a medication taken without a doctor's prescription.

The amendment may also solve the problem of all of the additives in food.

I KNEW about the affects on margarine when you cooked it. I have know about this for thirty years. This is why I was using butter, rather than margarine. Then for twenty years, I watched doctors recommend to their heart attack patients that they cook with margarine. It made me really angry.

We can always set limits on what substances people can use if they are working. Frankly, I think having wine at lunch does not help with the decision making after lunch. However, having wine at lunch sometimes helps with negotiations.

WE HAVE bad germs in our produce because no one is regulating where the cattle feed lots are located. Plus, letting cattle stand in water and feces upsets the cattle and makes them tasteless. We need to study water flow to know where to allow cattle and chickens. We COULD LISTEN to the farmers, who probably already know what to do about this problem.

If you want to eat tasty chicken, try Kosher chicken. The Kosher chicken I get at Albertson's tastes MUCH BETTER than the health food store chicken, which is tasteless. First, wash the chicken under running water, put chicken into a large glass pie pan, rub tarragon and salt over the chicken (about a teaspoon of salt mixed with tarragon rubbed all over the chicken), then bake in a 350 degree oven for one hour, turning the chicken over half way through the baking (use two forks to do this). After you eat the chicken, you can make soup stock with the leftovers. You may need to get a video to show you how to carve a chicken. Soup stock info I got from a James Beard book.

WE SHOULD listen to Doonesbury when it comes to Afghanistan. To quote the cartoon, "If Kabul wants influence here (in the mountains) they need to build roads (to Kabul)."

BTW, I have been telling people about boating on the river by Sioux City, Iowa, which is next to South Dakota, where I was born and raised. NOTE that Iowa has made gay marriage legal. KUDOS to Iowa.
