Depressed? Says who? According to this study, - mental health status in Washington state

is better than or the same as half the nation....25 states to be exact. I suspect those stats will trend downward and Washington will join the orange states sooner rather than later now that it's officially legal. BTW, numerous studies have shown marijuana to be beneficial in the treatment of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, suicidal ideation, alcoholism, chronic pain, insomnia, PMS, and menopause.

citicens of those red states (the ones that want to secede from the union) are some of the most under-educated and poor people in this country.

I'd like to know why they keep voting Republicans, who are CLEARLY against their best interests.

As far as I am concerned, if they're dumb enough to want to secede (which will raise local and state taxes a LOT, since they won't be getting any support from that "terrible" United States), then go ahead and secede, BUT don't come running back with your tails between your legs, expecting financial help from the sane 98% of Americans. The election results made that crystal clear.

How sweet they are! Love comes in all shapes and sizes. nm - VTMT

to own guns. This kinda blows the argument that stricter gun control will curb murder and mayhem.  The younger one wasn't old enough to own or buy a gun. The older brother never applied.  He probably wouldn't have been able to lawfully own a gun anyway because of his previous charge in 2009. They didn't have assault weapons, either, so that blows another argument. Get mad all you gun control posters want, but facts are facts and it's something I've been trying ...

Pagan Priest Wins Right To Wear Goat Horns In License Photo,Dec 17, 2016
It doesn’t matter how many articles of clothing Phelan Moonsong puts on before walking out the door each day: If he’s not wearing his favorite pair of goat horns, the Pagan priest might as well be naked. Unless the 56-year-old Millinocket, Maine, man is sleeping or bathing, his beloved horns are rarely far from his scalp. It’s been that way since he first laid eyes on the horns at a Pagan men’s group gathering in 2009. A friend whose goat had recently died offered the horns to gr ...

My MarriageJun 27, 2015
So I woke up this morning and took stock of my quarter-century old heterosexual marriage, in light of yesterday's historic ruling by the SCOTUS. Imagine my complete lack of shock and surprise when I found it was every bit as healthy, strong, and meaningful as it has always been, despite the fact that all gay Americans can now enjoy the same privelege. The sanctity of my marriage appears entirely unaffected. Oh, and the nation hasn't been destroyed by some cataclysmic event as a resul ...

Since he was merely antisocial, a misfit, an incompetent psychiatrist and a likely Islamic fanatic, he was retained and promoted. This says something about America. On the subject of gays, we a ...
