Facebook Spaces: One Generation Phenomenon

Mark Zuckerberg presents Facebook Spaces. Enabled by virtual reality headset/software Oculus which is owned by Facebook.Tired of your day to day life? Oculus will transport you any where. Join friends at any destination. Only your imagination will limit possible spots on the globe to visit. Although this could be a one generation phenomenon. Because if Facebook Spaces is as successful as Zuck is saying then this generation maybe the only one to have experienced real world locales. Obviously subsequent Facebook Spaces devotees will have limited and more limited real life experience to refer to in memory. So where will they go? What will they think? Who will they vote for?Maybe that's where Zuckerberg wants his followers. The smallest of pied pipers will then become the ultimate quasi drug dealer. Selling addictive fantasies on Oculus devices.And maybe running for office. I can see it now. Zuckerberg's face on Mount Rushmore. Brought to you by Facebook Spaces and Oculus.

Kissinger And McCain: Publish Prescription Drug Use

They rolled out former Secretary of State and real time Zionist and really old Henry Kissinger. He gave testimony to Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman John McCain-hot head. McCain threw softballs and Kissinger swung easy about more robust bombing and intervention in failed efforts in Mideast.Kissinger spoke like he had a plate in his head or his speech was effected by multiple past strokes.I wonder how many drugs these two take every day? How many old bottles of drugs are still around that the two don't take any more. Envision a closet filled. The door is opened and maybe two hundred plastic bottles cascade out on to the floor.Do we want drug abuser Mc Cain asking drug abuser Kissinger about where the U.S. should go in future? How about we publish current drug use and past medical history of any committee chairman and the primary guest giving testimony. We have a right to know what is behind the questions and answers. Beside the usual political reasons.

Questions About High Cost Drug Research : Aspirin Comparison

Let's use aspirin as an example of where drugs began.Edward Stone of Oxford University in 1763 analysed willow bark.Willow bark was used for thousands of years for human ailments by indigenous peoples. Stone found Acetylsalicylic Acid to be the active ingredient in the bark. Some years later Bayer of Germany synthesized the acid and put it into a bottle and the rest is history. Maybe the whole endeavor cost a couple hundred thousands? That includes manufacturing capability which includes packaging.Yesterday Tufts Center For The Study of Drug Development issued the results of its study of modern day drug introduction costs. It said it costs about $2.5 billion to bring a new drug to market. Well if if the history of the aspirin is any guide and taking into account inflation since 1763 I reckon that $2.4 billion is spent for unreadable lab tests and packaging design and legal costs associated with disclaimers and $100 million in copying what nature provides for free in jungles and everyones backyards.

Healthier Drug Users Or Healthier Public Environment?

San Francisco spends $ 850,000 to give 2.4 million syringes free per year to drug users in the City's needle exchange program. The program was launched years ago to cut down on the infections from unsafe drug use. Sixty to seventy percent of the needles are returned. The remainder end up in the public common areas of the City where innocents get stuck or infected or both. There are app. 750,000 needles per year discarded in an unsafe manner. One suggestion to mitigate the unsafe disposal problem is to provide convenient collection locations throughout the city so concientious and civic-minded drug users can return their needles 24/7.


Relying on drug users to be responsible is the definition of moronic optmism. Isn't providing free syringes for illicit drug use a de facto partial legaliztion of drug use? How can you have a legal way of breaking the law? Ethically and practically speaking you shouldn't . Ergo either legalize drug use or stop the needle exchange. With legal drug use would come the free market to provide solutions and the philosophy of more personal resposibility and freeing up prisons for more dangerous demographics. The trade off between healthier drug users at the cost of unhealthy public environments is a bad trade.



When it comes to drugs you can find plenty of health information on the Internet about them. Even if you don't need to know more about drugs then you can still find plenty of useful health info online and maybe even find people to answer your health questions like nurses or doctors.
