Man: The Amazing Microcosmos
Who knew that, as per the ad I saw last night, the very same drug that can control your twitchy leg at night can also cause an extreme urge to gamble?
Libertarians, My Libertarians!
Cruel to be kind means that I love you . Because, while I think you are mistaken, your hearts are in the right place -- yes, even you, Silas -- unlike some people . This Breitbart fellow (discussed in the link above), by all appearances, deliberately doctored a video of Shirley Sherrod to make her remarks appear virulently racist, when they had, in fact, the opposite import. I heard that at a recent Austrian conference, some folks were talking about "Callahan's conservative turn." While that description is not entirely inaccurate, I must say that a lot of these people who today call themselves conservative give me the heebie-jeebies.
If they test a new drug for every bizarre side effect known to man, the drug is bound to get tagged with some of em. If on the other hand they had a reasonable suspicion that led to testing for gambling urge enhancement, now that's spooky. Almost worth looking up the literature.
ReplyDeleteBut isn't it just weird that something that could calm your twitchy leg could also spur you on to gamble recklessly, predicted or not?
ReplyDeleteMy grandparents have known this for some time. They have friends on high blood pressure medication who go to casinos and always end up losing their shirt. Before they were on the medication, Vegas was dull and uninteresting to them.
ReplyDeleteI suspect it is the same effect.
Weird.
ReplyDeleteThe page is so wonderful that I want to write something about myself.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to receive some wow gold and the World of Warcraft Gold is the gift as my birthday. Some of the warcraft gold is very attractive for me that I will buy wow gold to enter into the game because the cheap wow gold is the key to the net game.
