Is God Punishing the Tea Party?
by Elsewhere ini've noticed that when something bad happens, the religious right tends to have a knee jerk reaction of saying that god is punishing a certain group because that group did something that god doesn't like.. .
on april 15th (tax day), all of the tea party people got together and had rallies in a lot of the major cities.. on april 17th & 18th, the days that the nascar was supposed to happen, it rained... and rained... and rained... and the races had to be canceled.. .
now, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to conclude that a disproportionately large number of nascar fans are affiliated with the tea party movement.

by Elsewhere inone of the things i have to deal with after my jw experience is depression and anxiety.

Study: Marijuana may not impair driving ability
by Elsewhere ini agree that more studies are needed to nail this down for sure, but this study is quite impressive.. "the effects of alcohol on driver-controlled behavior in a driving simulator, phase i," dot-hs-806-414.
marijuana may not impair driving ability at all.
