George Orwell used the term “Big Brother” in his renowned novel 1984. Once upon a time, readers could enjoy Orwell’s work without associating it with modern politics. Sadly, this has changed.

Stephen Hawking Proposes: “There Are No Black Holes”

Welcome to Part-Time America
If you were to look at the state of the United States economy, on paper it would seem as though everything is OK. The Dow Jones has been flirting with 16,000, stock prices are soaring, and the unemployment rate keeps going down. The truth is that it is all entirely artificial.
Am I Getting Old, or Are We Just Screwed?
I am 23 years old and have grown up appreciating all of the music, pop culture icons, toys, technology, and the like. The past few years have been strange, I would say it started around the time I started college but I don’t think that has any correlation with the way I have been feeling over the past few years. I have just grown completely dissatisfied with my generation and the things going on around me.

Why You Think Cannabis is Illegal vs. Why Cannabis is REALLY Illegal (Infographic)
I think most somewhat sane/consciously aware individuals will agree with me that marijuana is essentially harmless, if not beneficial for your overall health and well-being. Denial of this fact is simply a matter of ignorance and closed minded-ness, something a lot of us struggle with on a daily basis.
If you don’t agree with me that marijuana is beneficial and harmless to the human body, you probably have not done enough research yet, or you might have researched false information. I won’t go into specific details in this post but the information is out there and available for you, free of charge. Just make sure where you look is a reputable source. Just because the source is “mainstream” shouldn’t by any means automatically make it credible. Credibility is essentially up for you to decide.

What Type of Cigarette Do You Smoke, Doc?
Doctors use to advertise for cigarette companies. How funny is that? Actually it’s not funny – it’s pretty sad. Did they really not know how bad cigarettes were for you back then?
It’s interesting to think, “what if something that doctors promote today as “healthy” are really not.”
