No, more prominant sign of widespread use is the shoice of prezidents Bush or Clintons vice prez. (can't remember his name at the moment). Also thanks for the info on the Euro Dolar I don't hear much about it here in the states.

Yeah Kaz, we don't feel like we've done a good job in electing a president unless he either has some moral disability or is just an ignorant shitsplat. Or both.
Sometimes I just feel like apologizing to the entire planet for the last fifty or so years of American politics. And the social inbreeding that generates it...

Of course, I believe (not sure on this point) that the majority of the US population was for Gore, it was because of the strange election thingy that Bush was elected. Clinton wasn't so bad (I think) but Bush... I am really getting the impression that he is ignoring us (us being Europe in general) and heading on a collision course with Russia. Which leaves one major problem - we are between the US and Russia.

I admit I don't follow the news as much as I should, so I don't want to sound ignorant, but what is wrong with the U.S leaving Europe alone? Do you want us interfering with your government? I'm not being sarcastic, I just don't understand.

Also with russia, how could we possibly have a conflict. They are completely dependent on our money and resources it seems. They don't have the economy to possibly cause a problem with us. Apart from all that, what in the hell would we fight about? I thought we were getting along with them.

I am just saying the impression you get here in Europe (I believe the other Europeans agree with me). What I mean is that we feel we are being ignored as in the United States does what it wants (like step out of the ABM treaty or quit the Kyoto conference) without listening to anybody else. Of course, as I said, that is simply the impression one gets here and the media are not completely unbiased in this subject so I could be COMPLETELY wrong.

Out of respect for Zirocs' original subject, we should probably start a new thread for politics...

Just started a new thread for the discussion of politics, especially how the U.S. looks to the rest of the world.

It's sad indeed that managed care has brought about the proliferation of so many "happy" pills and that so little time is put into traditonal psycotherapy for conditions like depression. It's even sadder that children are being subjected to drugs that weren't developed for them. These drugs may suppress the symptoms, but certainly dont address the underlying causes. I

I think it's more the combination of prozac with something else. I read something about that soemwhere. Was it prozac combined with alcohol that makes it work the opposite of it's intent? (ie really depressed)

Absynthe, Australia is tighter in some but more lenient in others. I get migranes. I can't even get codeine over the counter here in the USA! A prescription is needed apparently.

Hey Yorick, my wife suffers from migraines also... have you looked into Migranal or Maxalt? Both seem to work pretty well for her.
I just love the ridiculous dichotomies we have in our health care system: Efficient pain-killers are almost impossible to get over the counter, or even as a prescription, but psychoactive drugs are handed out like candy.
