"Don't confuse a migraine with horse sense"...sounds like there is a possible connection based on the timeline.

cbtengr your migraine's may disappear when there's a new potus!

I can envision the article in the New England Journal of Medicine........ a recently completed study a year after the defeat of B.O. leads researchers to conclude that Obama was the primary cause of the bulk of the migraines here in the U.S for a period beginning with his election in 08 and ending miraculously with his defeat in 2012.

For some reason, this prompts me to exhort everyone to collect every piece of Obama memorabalia you can get your hands on.

Do you realize how much an unopened can of Billy Beer can bring in at this juncture of time?

Less than what you paid for it in 1977.

humble opinion time...

the common cure for many social injustices is (drum roll) Education

Sadly, many, from all races, are downplaying their need for an education with a perspective that is 180 degrees out of phase with what it was in the past. My mother raised three kids ( two of which are very intelligent, my siblings...) on her own with but a ninth grade education and 2-3 jobs. She also put us through 12 years of unassisted private schools. She did this because she wanted us to achieve more than she did by having more education than she did. Her sisters did not apply the same principle to their children and the end result is (2d drum roll) my mother's children are each more successful than their cousins. (I did not say more happy, just more successful!)

Today, we have a large population saying "I didn't go to college and my kids do not need to either" and the kids are saying I'm not going to college so why should I stay in high school!???

This is happeniing across all of the races. My wife, a Teacher for over 12 years, has seen this snowball effect year after year. The government (Local, .State and Federal) refuses to point the finger at parents because the parents are their sheep. It is easier to blame the teachers and reduce their ranks and cut their pay.

Education can cure ignorance, but not stupidity...

I believe all should get a high school education (or equivalent), but I would also argue that there are too many college graduates out there for the number of jobs that truly require the application of knowledge acquired through a college education.

What do you think about the fact that a large majority of colleges brainwash the kids into liberalism?

As a matter of fact, I'd be hard-pressed to come up with a name of a Conservative professor.

Happened to 3 of mine. 2 came back into the real world within a few months; one is still in academia, with short, pink-dyed hair, a couple pounds of metal pierced into her skin and refusing to wear lipstick because she believes women do it to make their lips look like vulvas.

My Son voted democrat in '08. In the latter part of '09, he said, "Dad. You were right about liberals. They suck."

I run into many a bright young lady and bright young man with 4 year degrees that are up to their ears in student loan debt and they are putting those educations to use at Home Depot, Lowes, Subway, Cabelas and the Casino making the same $8-10 per hour as the person without the 4 year degree.

Education is great, I am an advocate of education but more and more it seems the ROI isn't there.

Perhaps it's simpler than that. The drug impedes various chemicals/receptors that are tied to human emotion. Then when the test subjects show muted emotions, it makes the news.

That last part is the shocker.
