Today is an interesting date, Friday April 27th. 2001. On this date I was told that I could get my prescription of Serax refilled and I had been waiting for it in anticipation. But the darker secret is I believe the doctor had had me on placibos since January. Let me back up and say that this doctor had prescribed Serax before for my alcoholism in the past for exceedingly short periods of time such as ten days. When he had done so the drug worked beautifully. But he hadn't let me have Serax in a long time. Along about the middle of the January 2001 my prescription of Zyprexa ran out suddenly, and as a side effect of this I began having digestive problems and anxiousness, and by the way I also lost fifteen pounds between mid January and June first. My appitite was out the window. My doctor said he'd put me back on Serax, which is "one of the shortest acting of all the tranqualizers'. Why would an alcoholic need the "shortest lasting drug"? Often I have wondered, "what if I intervened and went back into the past then and talked to myself them. What would I say?" I was thinking perhaps I'd have said on the afternoon of April 27th. that fateful Friday, "Just take your serax and don't drink". In point of fact I did not even use most of this prescription, so slight did I perceive any effectiveness. When I moved in here I had over a half bottle of serax capsules, most of the prescription. When I took the pills here sometimes I'd double up just to experiment. Even when you doubled up dosages there seemed to be no dissernable effect. What the doctor had done in effect was allow me to discontinue suddenly a drug that was helping (though prescribed for other psychological reasons) and get on a placibo, and I lost fifteen pounds in four months. Of course this doctor was a Christian and known to my brother and also known to gossip about his patients in Christian circles. I had the sense as a Calvary Chapel member I was pretty much washed up. There were some sins they just didn't tollerate even a whisper of and alcoholisum was one of them. One time there was a guy named Don Stewart, who got a woman pregnent. Even though they eventually got married he was never able to live the event down, and was eventually driven out of the church. "And that's the way it is".
All of the eight democratic candidates debates last night in South Carolina. It would seem that Hillary won the debate beating Obama, who seemed weak and indecisive, while Hillary seemed "Presidential". Joe Byden, Dennis Kasinich, and John Edwards and three others were there. Of course now the senate and the house are ready to combine a bill to be sent to the President's desk to cut off funds for the War, which the President will veto. Dennis Kasinitch says congress should get a spine and not send up another bill. If the president will not accept No Funding, but keeps the troops there anyhow, then we have a genuine constitutional crisis on our hands. It would from there be logical to take the logical next step and draw up impeachment charges.
Stephen Hawking has now flown in weightlessness. Of course the planes fly in the path of a parabala, which can easily graphed on your Excell software. All of the time within the parabala they are weightless. He has ALS or Lou Garig's disease. I guess you could say it's the first time a disabeled man has flown in space.
There are several types of antideprecents. There is the type of drug Elliville is in, which dates back over fourty years ago. These drugs lift your spirits. Then we have the M A O or mono-amine-oxate (?) inhibitors. This substance can be found in belladona and other cold remedies and they give you a warning. The most dangerous of the three types of antidepressents are the "seretonin re-updake inhibitors". What these drugs do is block the brain off from its own perception of reality. It also blocks off normal feelings and also the perceived feelings of others. There were roomers that Bush 41 took Prozac, which is one of this type of drug. Either Eric Harris or Dylan Clayborne or both took Zoloft, another of this type of antidepressent drug. Teenagers are known to go whacko when in this type of medication either in committing suicide or else becomming a mass murderor. The slayer at Virginia Tech is roomered to be on this class of seretonin drugs. We said before that a guy in my life we called "Gianni Versace" was hooked on this type of drug and more than one in fact and was showing symptums of overdose several months ago. I think we're going to change his name to "The great pervericator". As you know there are some people who are too wicked to even qualify as antichrist. Perhaps the asshole from El Paso could make antichrist. But not "The Great Peravacator" even though "Mr. El Paso" is influenced by The Great Peraveracator. In order to run the world you have to have some kind of a logical mind. You have to organize the army, and organize your adminestration of govt. and insure that things are opperative. The Great Pereveracator lacks the mental discipline to do even thig. (So he can run the world) Pastor "Mike Bowman", whom we have mentioned before is kind of like Jim Jones, only showing less initiative. But he has all of the same base desires to be worshipped unconditionally and swath himself in adoring fans. You think of the antichrist being some highly motivated, organized person that "didn't quite make the cut" whereas in realidy Satan might take someone who otherwise is a real worm, and build up into something. Something to think about.
George Tennant's new book is out where the former CIA Chief says, "I confess- - Chaney did it". Now Tennant, who is known as one of the major protagonists for the Iraq War, seems to be disowning his own words and saying that the War was all Dick Chaney's idea. Saddam has been "contained". We all know this. Sometimes it's interesting to see how the Born Again right wing has evolved over the years. These right wing Christians now obviously see George Bush as their Saviour. But they never would have done this thirty or thirty-five years ago. They never would have trusted ANY man in a secular government. (Of course now the wall between church and state is brieched so it isn't so "secular" any more) 35 years ago Christians were content to have their heads in the clouds thinking about angels and the Age to Come, and how wonderful it will be perpetually living in the Love of Jesus. In those days they still had long hair and dressed like hippies. My how things have changed! What changed them obviously was the realization that Jesus isn't "coming back" to "set up his kingdom on earth". They can't rely on Jesus any more; now it's up to them. You might say their God has gotten smaller over the years. Now it looks like Larry Elder. Of course they aren't happy with any of the choices on the Republican ticket. I'm as curious as you are as to what they are going to do now. There are so many books out now -and George Tennant's is only the latest - saying how the Right Wing have ostracized themselves from main stream society and logical, normal thinking. I guess we're just going to have to let the saga unfold and see what happens.
