Winning the War on Drugs

♠
SAN FRANCISCO, March 14 — Federal appellate judges here ruled Wednesday that a terminally ill woman using marijuana was not immune to federal prosecution simply because of her condition...

On Wednesday, a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit found that while they sympathized with Ms. Raich’s plight and had seen “uncontroverted evidence” that she needed marijuana to survive, she lacked the legal grounds to exempt herself from federal law.

Score another for the War on Drugs!

See, we can win wars. You just got to know how to pick your enemies.

Green Dogs

♠
Apparently, the 'green' concept is making its way into pet care. When I told Bo about how dogs are even going vegetarian, I wish I could have put it on videotape and uploaded it on YouTube so you guys could see it. So cute! The way he rolled on his back with his paw over his eyes breaking out in a howling laughter, turning from side to side.

Driven Eco-Hysteria?

♠
While the public has been led to believe that "all" the leading scientists buy the global warming hysteria and the political agenda that goes with it, in fact the official reports from the United Nations or the National Academy of Sciences are written by bureaucrats -- and then garnished with the names of leading scientists who were "consulted," but whose contrary conclusions have been ignored.

-- Thomas Sowell at RealClearPolitics.com

Maybe denying much of the eco-scare concerning global warming is not exactly like denying the Holocaust. As Sowell points out, this is not to deny that we are warmer, but to question whether human causes are that determinative. Even if skepticism is warranted, of course, it is probably good policy to be more eco-conscious but to do so within reason and without dire panic.
