31 [lbo-talk] (no subject) -- rank: 1000

Complete boolgoose loony libertarian wants to privatize the FDA based on Kashrut as a model: http://benmalisow.com/blog.php?s=entry-the-forty-first-a-private-matter " I hear a lot of arguments about how some things just could not be privatized, because no comparable company would step into the niche left by an absent government entity and provide that same service with a similar level of quality and function. I was thinking about that position the other day while considering the FDA-- that ...

I really want to try mead, but it takes a year for it to be drinkable...what if you trade some yummy jam and then wait a year for mead that possibly isn't (though possibly is) real good?

Yah, 80F seems quite high...and I live and learn regarding not using a secondary on a Weiss... Kölsch...interesting...

34 [lbo-talk] pah -- rank: 1000

What did you brew up? I just started drinking my latest, which was my first attempt at a Weissbier... I maybe shouldn't have put in a secondary fermenter, because it doesn't have much of the traditional Weiss haze anymore, and I added crystal malt, which I think gives it a higher malt profile taste than would be traditional... Tastes real good, just not a traditional Weiss profile... Bryan Sent from my iPad On Jun 17, 2011, at 16:17, Andy <andy274 at gmail.com> wrote: > Friday, 5:15pm, ...

36 [lbo-talk] The epidemic of mental illness -- rank: 1000

Hi Chuck, No, I am a pretty open person and open to advice, and anyway, I feel like I know some of you all just from reading all your emails for years... I really don't see me getting addicted to Xanax, because I take it infrequently and in small doses...only when the going gets a bit too tough, and that luckily that is ever more infrequent... I also try to get out and do things... work out several times a week, bike a few times a week outside, go out to see music shows as often as I can (I happ ...

37 [lbo-talk] The epidemic of mental illness -- rank: 1000

Hi, Ummmm...well very, very subtle strangeness in the first few weeks. If I moved my head quickly, it was like my sense of body placement followed an almost imperceptibly short time later (that is only a bastardized explanation of the feeling) a bit of that and if I forget to take it for a day, I notice it because of this and also a not-really-headache but a strange feeling in my head...or a subtle twitch in my calves...then I go "oh..did I take my pill?" and remember...but all quite s ...

38 [lbo-talk] The epidemic of mental illness -- rank: 1000

In March 2010, after my family was killed in a car accident, I (obviously) had severe depressive and anxiety symptoms...completely unbearable... I tried a behavioral psychologist, a Lacanian therapist (in Israel), I tried some "natural supplements" (not ridiculous homeopathy) that a psychologist suggested had clinical evidence of effectivity on symptoms... I still felt the extremely unbearable shitty self. I did NOT want any SSRI because I have always been wary, hearing of their side e ...

39 [lbo-talk] Israelis want a second passport... -- rank: 1000

I think Jim is right on his assessment, and I should also add that having the non-ideological and more liberal minded Israelis leaving for safer waters while leaving behind the nationalists and religious would not be a good scenario for the Palestinians or the rest of the world...sounds like a nightmare scenario to me.

41 [lbo-talk] Signing online petitions.... -- rank: 1000

I signed several hard copy petitions at the Capitol in Madison over the last few days, and as with 99%, i don't think the targets of them give them much credence. I would surmise the same for online petitions. The only petition these type of people pay attention to are when it can have a direct impact on them, like getting signatures for a recall.

I am here at the Capitol. Jesse Jackson just spoke... I was using my 3G so I didnt notice if the wifi was down, and now I am eating lunch, but I will check when I go back... Seems a silly ing to do because so many have cellular connections it really wouldn't help to block wifi.

http://www.epi.org/economic_snapshots/entry/wisconsin_public_servants_already_face_a_compensation_penalty/ Wisconsin public servants already face a compensation penalty Ethan Pollack February 18, 2011 The campaign against state and local workers is often justified with claims that they are privileged relative to their private-sector peers or have somehow been cushioned from the effects of the recent recession and slow recovery. These claims are clearly false. In Wisconsin, which has become a foc ...
