Only the Interesting Stuff

This post is only going to be about things that are really interesting..so you won't hear about my dog's privates or my bad 80's hair...
This is the other type of things that go round and round in my head....

What do I think is interesting? The Plague... did you know it was back? Or that it never really left? As you may recall I just finished Ken Follet's novels. World Without End basically has the Plague as a central character in the book. One of the main characters is driven to help others and she is able to do so while helping those infected with the Plague..it moved from Italy to France to London..and on to Scotland, Ireland etc. They would have YEARS without a case and then all of a sudden it would come back into their town and thousands would die. Of course in these medieval times they believed that you were sick because you sinned and that things could be spread by a curse or by looking at someone in the eye. Eventually the would avoid infection by closing the doors to the city and not letting anyone in. Some were lucky this way and some were born with something that wouldn't allow you to be infected. Did you ever hear about that story where everyone in the town but one family died...and now they are studying descendants from that family to see WHY...I tried to find the link to the story but I couldn't find one, trust me, I watched a special on TV. I totally love stories about Medieval times. I'll watch a really bad movie just to watch the time period.

Drugs, that are illegal. I was watching a special on the History Channel..did anyone see this? Did you know that LaGuardia...yeah, the airport, New York..that is the guy. He actually had a commission research in depth the effects of the maryjane (I don't want to write it or I'll get a million potheads coming here)... They PROVED that it was not addictive and that alcohol was really a worse drug. They just totally buried it and disregarded it..I never realized how political the entire thing was...they used all this propaganda, specifically there was this kid, Licata who killed his family with an axe. He lived in Florida I think. Well they said he did it because he had smoked a doobie.. It ended up that he was mentally ill out the wazzoo..that was his issue, the doobage actually calmed him.. They would run movie reels to the public saying that it was a drug that only lead to more addictive things...and there were no clinical reports to back that....only the political guys......and OMG..I was trying to find a link for William Randolph Hearst..and looky what I found... This guy has them ALL... Anyway I found the show addictive (pun intended). You know what, I bet that if it was taxed.. Oh well.. It's never going to change and alcohol is just going to get stronger. I mean how many people smoke a joint and die of pot poisoning? I think I've knows at least a dozen people who binge drank and ended up in the hospital. Oh well...again, it will never change.

And the final interesting news.. 8 hours until you hear, "And this is YOUR American Idol"...
