…Clifton "Woooooo weee…oh lord…this racism is killing me inside…"

In case you didn't already know Clifton is the milkman character from the Dave Chappell "The Niggar Family" skit.  Pretty funny shit…but lets not get distracted here.  Ok, ok…go ahead and get distracted, and then continue reading.

All of the recent blatanly racisist comments by republican party members has really got me steamed.  But lets not turn this in to a Racisist Republican bashing post.  There are plenty of racist fuck faces in all walks of life.  Of course most of them are red neck republicans.  Lets take a quick look at some of the things over the last couple of weeks.  I'm really not sure if I should laugh or cry.  These are politician that are controlling the world we live in…  You may be asking yourself why i'm picking on the Republican party when there is so much rasicm in the world to address.  Well, it's because they are race-baiting the elections.  They have been know to do this time and time again.  They are hurting in the polls right now and stand to lose the control the now have over our government.  So they go back to the tried and true tactics of race-baiting the South East and Mid West to snatch white voters away from the Democrats.  It really fucking sad…not that they are racist, but that it actually works.  It shows you just how fucked up this world we live in is.

Macaca:

Black people can't swim:

There's more where that came from but I just can't take too much of this at once, so lets end this on a light, but still very racism remark Daily Show style.

Feel free to scream now…just let it all out…when your done we will all still be living in a very racist world…but while your screaming you will probably not be thinking about how fucked up it all is for that one tiny moment…

I stumbled upon this BBC article. Apparently some researchers are experimenting with using Ketamine to treat depression. Here is a little quote from one of the researchers.

"The team says ketamine, in its current form, would not be appropriate for medication because of side-effects at higher doses, which include hallucinations and euphoria."

Euphoria is a side effect!?  Umm…i'm not a doctor, but lets take a quick look at the definition of euphoria.

Euphoria - A feeling of great happiness or well-being

Now lets take a look at the definition of depression…

Depression - A condition of general emotional dejection and withdrawal; sadness greater and more prolonged than that warranted by any objective reason. 

So let me get this straight, euphoria is basically the total opposite of depression.  So wouldn't the fact that the patient is feeling euphoric mean that the treatment was working?  Oh no!  How are we going to keep our depression patients from feeling euphoric!?  *sigh*  These people are depressingly stupid!

Read the whole depressing article here

On a side note, I have never experienced euphoria from Ketamine.  From what I know about Ketamine it is a disassociative anaesthetic.  This means that it blocks signals to the conscious mind, and psycologically seperates certain thoughts, emotions, sensations, or memories from the rest of the psyche.  So this disassociative aspect seperates you from the negative and/or indifferent feelings of depression.  Taken in high enough doses you are likely to feel completely seperated from yourself.  i.e. out of body experience…

Here are a relatively random assortment of some of my favorite political and war related quotes and links.  This might be a little too "conspiracy theory"-ish for some of you.  But try to look at it not as a conspiracy theory, instead look at it…well…ok…scratch that.  Look at it for what it is, a conspiracy theory.  But try not to let the negative connotation traditionally associated with them to scare you away.

Quotes:

"Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism." -George Washington

"Only a free and unrestrained press can effectively expose deception in government." -Hugo Black, Supreme Court Justice

"The belief in the possibility of a short decisive war appears to be one of the most ancient and dangerous of human illusions." -Robert Lynd

"Those who give up essential liberties for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin

 [Ok, I hate having misinformation on my site.  Apparently that is not a Benjamin Franklin quote or at least there is no solid proof that it is.  The actual full and accurate quote is "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."  It's definately not as fluid and smooth as the one above.  Never the less it is the accurate one.]

"Of all the enemies to public liberty, war is perhaps the most to be dreaded because it comprises and develops the germ of every other." -James Madison

"We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. When the loyal opposition dies, I think the soul of America dies with it." -Edward R. Murrow

"Our country is now geared to an arms economy bred in an artificially induced psychosis of war hysteria and an incessant propaganda of fear." -General Douglas MacArthur
