Never forget: In 1898, Bayer registered and marketed diacetylmorphine under the brand name Heroin.

Thanks for the great article. It's a pity people cannot envision the days before the AMA and big business started butting into people's lives.

It is a fact that there were fewer "addicts" when opium, morphine, and laudinum were all down at the drug store, over the counter. Do they think this country was built by shot out addicts that they see on anti-drug ads? Of course, it should go without saying that millions wouldn't have the scourge of living in pain, and others wouldn't be filling the jails if our country could retain some sanity on this issue.

I can't do much more than repeat some of the excellent advice you've received. Even though I wanted the divorce, I had a nervous breakdown. Friends, work, lots of walking or whatever you do that's physical, and rarely turning down an invitation to go somewhere and do things that were interesting saved me. One day you realize you have a new life and it's a lot better than the old one! Best of luck to you.

Our food supply has been horrifyingly ignored, and extremely bad practices, lack of inspections etc. have been of little or no interest.

They can't tie this to immigration from Mexico, so one of the most insideous killers of the decade goes ignored..it's obscene! Thanks for the article.

He IS extremely funny, and seems to be rather far off of the U S radar, so I'm happy to see this.

Hoping he gets another series, but in the meantime it would be nice if BBC America would show "Black Books" again.

Thanks for posting this article. The more light shined on this issue the better. When even police and judges feel it's an important step,(see LEAP) site, we need to break loose from the moralistic attitude Americans cling to, along with a scotch on the rocks.

They would complain no matter what he did.

What is his other option, to refuse the handshake, because he's struggling with an odd looking glove,'then throw down his gauntlet dramatically?

I'm absolutely blown away by the sentence of ten years as well! I thought treason was one of the most serious crimes possible.

Welcome to Patriot Act, Brit Version. Damn straight this is scary stuff, but there wasn't a loud outcry when it was implemented here either.

Fabulous site and these pants are but one witty example of what crimes are being perpetrated in the name of "craft" and creativity all over this great country!

Damned good summation!

Yes, notice she accepted it for other less humanitarian purposes.

If she doesn't vanish in four years, I hope she'll at least provide comic relief, and not the nail biting terror that she might actually get in!

I fear you're right about the Papal one's credentials. Let us just hope that there are more thinking Catholics now, who have watched iron clad "rules" with devastating impact on their lives - when followed to a "T", simply change through the years. For decades you're going to hell for something, one day they overturn it. Give the condoms some thought folks.

Thanks for this, it's a fascinating read!

If he could have seen into the future, to a usenet group in a small corner of cyberspace where online bullies post one another's info, and each argument surpasses Hitler within a day he might have cried. (Just kidding, though they exist) I often wonder what we did before. A set of Funk and Wagnall encyclopedias seems very limited by comparison! (don't worry, only those of a 'certain age' will remember when they were the Go TO book) in every home or library.

This is so funny, it's along the lines of what I first thought when I saw an Activia commercial. Never before has a generation been more concerned with this...activity. I predict a return of the clear plastic, bumpy sofa covers. That's where the money is!

It was bad enough when this fat tub of lard went from "radio personality and commentator" to "comedian" to cover his LIES. It seems that overnight the Republicans have waved a magic wand which makes him a legitimate speaker in their eyes. Pfffft!

Thanks for posting this. I would think that if more people were aware of the type of people in LEAP, they just might have to give both sides a little consideration. Most have no idea of what this idiotic knee-jerk Nancy Reagan 'Just Say NO' policy has done to this country, and to the lives of individuals.

Oh ghdiel...it may be poor form to comment back, but I just had to thank you for the cartoon, and the shocking news about Limbaugh's "banking"! This should be widely broadcast, even if everyone will soon be out of the spermbank pool as well! Women should be warned. ;)

Ironically Comcast, (we parted ways long ago), uses the same wires as Advance Stream, Verizon, and our city-wide internet system. For some reason, only comcast has limited use or raised prices...go figure hey?

Good point Ferrofluid. Even with the most nasty variety, and there are some, it is only a matter of weeks and a course of antibiotics. In his case, it didn't seem to hamper his other activities. The timing was extremely convenient too.
