Tuesday Overnight Open Thread (1/30/18 ) After The State of The Union Address Edition

Quote I

"In order to create change in our society, we must challenge current belief systems and force people to take a side - oppression or justice, cruelty or compassion. There is no humane way to kill someone who does not want to die." Melbourne Cow Save

Get the f*ck out of my face while I enjoy my medium rare rib-eye steak.

Quote II

“If you're too open-minded; your brains will fall out.” Lawrence Ferlinghetti

Quote III

The tank, the B-52, the fighter-bomber, the state-controlled police and military are the weapons of dictatorship. The rifle is the weapon of democracy. Not for nothing was the revolver called an "equalizer." Egalite implies liberte. And always will. Let us hope our weapons are never needed — but do not forget what the common people of this nation knew when they demanded the Bill of Rights: An armed citizenry is the first defense, the best defense, and the final defense against tyranny. Edward Abbey

Life is built with decisions. From what will I have for breakfast to when will I go to bed. Decisions, decisions, decisions. In November 2016 the American electorate had a decision to make.

I wasn't selecting a boy friend for one of my daughters. Or a dog sitter for my pets.

Piers Morgan has it all wrong on guns. He has it right on Hollywood culture. Donald Trump isn't perfect but don't preach to me about your Holiness.

There are problems with legally approved assisted suicide. Who would have thunk?

“[S]everal years ago, a House of Lords commission uncovered that Oregon death bureaucrats destroy all records used to compile their annual reports–meaning that there can be no effective independent inquiry or investigations. The HoL investigators also learned that the oversight agency has no budget or authority to investigate abuses.”

They lie. They have to lie… at least until it’s too late to stop the all-too-intended consequences.

The sun can cause cancer. Artificial sweeteners are believed to cause cancer. Smoking tobacco can cause cancer and now E-Cig vapor may be cancer causing.

The growing popularity of electronic cigarettes has led to an increasingly fierce public health dispute—the great vape debate, if you will. On the one hand, there are doctors and advocates who insist that vaping is a relatively safe, appealing way for smokers to wean themselves off much more dangerous tobacco products. On the other, there are those who say that vaping’s risks are unclear and might still rival that of traditional smoking. A study in mice, published today in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, is sure to provide fodder for both sides.

Holy Shit!!! Human waste to become fertilizer in outer-space?
