Nancy
Louise Lewis finally tells all in her explosive memoir about her 30
years in journalism. Her newspaper career, which began covering a
notorious, and until now unsolved 1974 murder in Connecticut, led to
attempts on her life by police in two states. Her take on the
experience: “You don’t have to be black to have cops wanting you
dead!”

book not only provides a fascinating inside look at the world of

Re: Microdosing Psychedelic Mushrooms Migraine Mental Healt

You didn't mention your age, but if you are post menopausal, marijuana might be a better choice for you. The THC activates your estrogen receptors. It was a total hysterectomy at 39 followed by 10 years of estrogen replacement therapy (the horse urine pill) and almost daily migraines that led to my trying cannabis on the advice of a herbal healer, and it worked like a charm. No more migraines and no more horse urine pills. And no more menopausal symptoms. The herbal healer told me that marijuana has more estrogen than any plant on Earth, which turned out to be not quite accurate when I asked a California researcher about it in preparation for filing a lawsuit against the states that would not let me have it legally. He told me that the THC activates estrogen receptors so even tiny amounts in food such as sweet potatoes does the trick. Until about 1935, it was the preferred treatment for menopausal symptoms listed in the Merck Manual which was on every physician's desk. It's criminal that the government won't allow us to have it for this purpose. Or any other for that matter.

As Mark Twain pointed out: If voting made a difference, they wouldn't let us do it. So we go into the voting booth Nov. 6, 2016, to look at the two biggest crooks in the country the rest of the crooks have decided to put in our faces. How is this choice?

Great ideas, but I'm afraid they are pies in the skies because it is becoming clearer all the time that men everywhere and in almost any situation believe that they have a right to rape women. Face it. That will not be changed anytime soon if ever.

What this very excellent article ignores is the fact that U.S. troops also take rape to be a spoil of war they are entitled to.

On the other hand, marijuana is a great substance for creativity, learning and writing, I find.

By the same token, no women were on hand to approve or disapprove the rules of war handily composed and voted on at the Geneva Conference of 1907. By adopting said rules, the patriarchies effectively legalized war, which should be a criminal act to be punished by a takeout SWAT team overseen by the U.N. The future of our species depends on it. How insane it is that the patriarchies spend so much money arming themselves at the same time agreeing in principal that there can be no more war. Implement 1325 now.

If you want rape in war prosecuted, get ready to imprison many American men.

Grief is pervasive now, but otherwise I am doing alright. Working to help others with my nonprofit. Sponsor a boy in third world in my son's memory.

They are everywhere. I made the mistake of reporting my son-in-law for sexually molesting my one-year-old granddaughter, and I'll give you one guess who went to jail. And she was never examined by a doctor. He's an international stock trader.

Thank you for your sympathies with what my son (one of three, the oldest) went through. He never totally healed from the trauma of his childhood, as he sort of put himself in front of his little brothers to protect them. He died in 2012 from cancer at 34. I'm sure the emotional and physical battering had much to do with his susceptibility to the disease. The failure of authorities (cops, mostly, but certainly not exclusively) to protect us all left him open to victimization of other kinds. I maintain that so long as there is even one bad cop, there is just no such thing as a good one. And, yes, there are violent ones everywhere; I have direct knowledge of this as a newspaper journalist. I've covered crime in 10 states, and cops have tried to kill me in two places.

I know the story. For years, local cops refused to do anything about my abusive (now) ex, who attacked me and my children. Usually when I called them, they would say, "Why don't you go back where you came from?" or "If he actually does something (when threatening to kill us all), call back." My son at 15 tried to hang himself, and I'm sure that was why. I couldn't even prevail in the divorce, because lo and behold all the records of his reported abuse, including a couple of arrests that put him in jail for an hour, had disappeared. Then, when I got the BATF to raid his home after the divorce because he was a felon and had an armory of illegal weapons, the local cops sent their friends in to remove the guns an hour before the raid. Just empty gun cabinets. Cops suck big time.

Yes. But it is not "slowly" becoming a police state; it already is one.

I'm not saying the U.N. would be in charge of everything; just the oversight of stuff like war, redistribution of resources, stuff like that. The 200 or so patriarchies could still operate their corrupt systems. But they can't be trusted. We need some ethical body in charge.

That is how it would have to be for a time, that all leaders around the world would know that if they warred against anyone, even their own people, they would die. But I doubt it would require more than this stricture to stop war permanently. Mothball all war equipment for later demolition. The rest of the world sees us as the terrorists, you know.

And don't forget the drones when it comes to taking out a dangerous leader No, it wouldn't be an act of war once the U.N. orders it. Better to perfect this than to kill millions. I think there wouldn't be more wars under such circumstances.

The U.N. would keep a small multinational team at the ready and would go in much as the U.S. went in to get Bin Ladin. Governing said country with a defunct leader would be accomplished by another U.N. team until a new leader was chosen by the people.
