Boston Globe:  Voters approve marijuana law change

my trip to liberty city.

Yeah, timemanagementforanarchists.com has some great tips for keeping your life useful and productive without need of a boss or externally imposed structure– and through them I found Nomediakings.com, which talked me into self publishing my book next time i'm in town. But all that is trivial in the face of this little meditation: My trip to liberty city where a gentle Canadian narrates a video of his trip to the base of Grand Theft Auto 3, and just walks round, visits a park, mimes a little, just to show how much more there is to appreciate in even the most problematic metropolis. Watch and be touched at the familiar traveler innocence that is possible when you're not just trying to win something.

Medical Journal Touts 17,000 Pot-Related Studies                                              Jerusalem, Israel:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Cannabis is one of the most studied plants on the planet, according to a review published in the September issue of the journal Medicinal Research Reviews. "Research on the chemistry and pharmacology of cannabinoids and endocannabinoids has reached enormous proportions," the journal states. "[A]pproximately 15,000 articles on Cannabis sativa L. and cannabinoids and over 2,000 articles on endocannabinoids" are available in the scientific literature.                                                                                                                                                                                 Commenting on the review NORML Deputy Director Paul Armentano said, "Opponents of marijuana law reform - including those who oppose the therapeutic use of cannabis - are fond of claiming that further study of marijuana is necessary before we can amend current law. Yet in reality, cannabis is arguably the most investigated plant on Earth. It's clear that it's politics, not science, that is driving the criminal prohibition of cannabis and unfortunately the publication of another dozen - or even a thousand - studies is not going to change this reality."                                                                                                                                                                                                                  -NORML

“Time is in the mind”

Rosh HA-Shanah – the head of THE year. That is all there ever is – a year. “Year.” The ritual celebration of the new year was originally predicated on a conception of time as cyclical – it is not one year and then another year but always the same “year” renewed. This is reflected in the rituals connected to the day and was preserved even after the conception of time became linear – i.e. historical (which arguably is presented for the first time as such in the bible).

 

Ha-yom haras olam – today is the conception of the universe – or, “time conceives world.” Conception is a moment of determined being – both biologically and cognitively. Time is renewed through fertility rituals – “lo hayu yomim tovim le-yisrael…” - birth is “renewal” NOT perpetuation. You conceive of something by entertaining it in the conscious moment. Conception creates time – from the conscious moment is derived both memory and imagination, past and future. Time. Memory and imagination, male and female, seed and womb – and the child is time.

 

She-niyeh le-rosh – the function of the head is intentionality, regulation. The year is a complete entity – komah shlemah – and the head of the year is its intentionality. The Baal Shem Tov says that one must pay close attention to the thoughts that go through one’s head on Rosh Ha-Shanah because that is the inscribing, the kesivah. What you intend is inscribed in the psyche. But the inscription can be non-intentional as well – the emotional intensity of the day creates the potential for a strong inscription but that inscription may be consciously determined or may be just the thoughts that run through your head which, in turn, are determined by the habits of the previous year – and then it is not renewal but perpetuation.

 

She-niyeh le-rosh ve-lo le-zanav – may we determine our own inscription and not be towed along by the beasts of our past…

“And You Shal Live By Them” Charedi Greens Contaminated with Anti-Bug Pesticides

Orthodox Jews Are Either Insane, Or, Overly Sincere

By voting for McCain-Palin, they are killing economic, social and health plans which would benefit them immensely.

Does anybody have the statistics on Charedim without health-care?

Or how about Charedim with Special needs?

There are much more mentally challenged Orthodox Jews, than there are in the populatiopn at large.

And this goes beyond Down Syndrome. There is no mental health program in the frum world because there is no National health care, and private insurance does not pay for therapy. That is why if you act a little weird in the frum community you are locked up in Maimonides for two years. The state DOES pay for that.

Do Charedim just not give a shit about their economic status?

If you reside in Williamsburg, have 9 kids, work 60 hours a week, on the books, but you have no health care, then McCain is sure the guy for you! He is pro-life and pro-Israel, and will kill a lot of people in Iraq. And this will help you and your family in the coming years.

As far as taxes go, most Charedim fall into the lower and middle class and Obama's package reduces taxes for these groups.
