The body count is still rising. For months on end, marked by bankruptcies, foreclosures, evictions, and layoffs, the economic meltdown has taken a heavy toll on Americans. In response, a range of extreme acts including suicide, self-inflicted injury, murder, and arson have hit the local news. By October 2008, an analysis of press reports nationwide indicated that an epidemic of tragedies spurred by the financial crisis had already spread from Pasadena, California, to Taunton, Massachusetts, from Roseville, Minnesota, to Ocala, Florida.

QotD: Super Bowl Sunday

nobody@vox.com(soul1383) — Sun, 01 Feb 2009 16:09:15 -0500

Are you going to tune in to today's Super Bowl game? If so, where and with whom will you be watching? Who are you rooting for?

Not me, but my wife and son are fans of football and will be. They're rooting for opposite teams. Personally, I always root for the underdog...so it would be cool if the Cardinals win.

A Smarter Way to Deal with Pot Than Arresting 20 Million People

If lawmakers really wanted to address marijuana use, they would regulate and tax pot like they do tobacco.
According to a new report released by the Centers for Disease Control, fewer Americans are smoking cigarettes than at any time in modern history. "The number of U.S. adults who smoke has dropped below 20 percent for the first time on record," Reuters reported. This is less than half the percentage (42 percent) of Americans who smoked cigarettes during the 1960s.
Imagine that. In the past 40 years, tens of millions of Americans have voluntarily quit smoking a legal, yet highly addictive intoxicant. Many others have refused to initiate the habit. And they've all made this decision without ever once being threatened with criminal prosecution and arrest, imprisonment, probation, and drug testing.
By contrast, during this same period of time, state and local police have arrested some 20 million Americans for pot law violations -- primarily for violations no greater than simple possession. And yet marijuana use among the public has skyrocketed.

First Lady Got Back By Erin Aubry Kaplan

StoryMichelle

-- I'm a black woman who never thought I'd see a powerful, beautiful female with a body like mine in the White House. Then I saw Michelle Obama -- and her booty!

But what really thrills me, what really feels liberating in a very personal way,
is the official new prominence of Michelle Obama. Barack's better half not only
has stature but is statuesque. She has corruscating intelligence, beauty, style
and -- drumroll, please -- a butt. (Yes, you read that right: I'm going to talk
about the first lady's butt.)

Legalize it!

nobody@vox.com(soul1383) — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 11:34:12 -0500

With a recession in sight, the case for legalizing marijuana and taxing it for government revenue seems more practical than ever.

Since we're broke any place would be great! Realistically, we could go to the beach but we have to wait until winter is over

What single event changed your view of the world for the better or for the worse?
Submitted by iASHLEY.
My mother's death from breast cancer made me hate everyone. I blamed the doctor's for not finding her tumor sooner. My husband (now ex) cheated on me. He said it was because I was never home. I went from Mass to NJ for weeks at a time in order to take care of my mother, My little sister had more important things to do. She worked, went to school, and had a boyfriend. I felt really alone.

Neo: I know you're out there. I can feel you now. I know that you're afraid... you're afraid of us. You're afraid of change. I don't know the future. I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end. I came here to tell you how it's going to begin. I'm going to hang up this phone, and then...
