Jennifer,
I wasn't referring to whether you were being politically correct, I was
complimenting you in non-gender-specific terms!
Nah, no spanking with a stale muffin, we'll be right over with the cans of
whipped cream <hee hee>.
and re the garlic/shrimp problem, know how you feel -- just came back from
having Chinese food for lunch with my son <urp>.

Hmmm, re p.c.: it's all relative. Just watched a re-run of the Star Trek
NG episode "Angel One" where the women ruled the planet and were taller,
stronger, and smarter than the "mere" men. And Riker got to "dress up" and
be a sex object to the ruler of the government.

Good point. I have failed in my quest to be extremely politically correct.
I should spank myself with a stale muffin. Unless there are volunteers...

I am having a garlic and shrimp pizza problem at the moment.

No problem. I've been ranting about this pretty frequently since the
Supreme Court decision to reject medical use of marijuana. The court was
right to rule the way it did but the decision was based solely on
marijuana's position in the drug schedule, which is mandated by legislation
instead of judged by the scheduling rules. If marijuana were judged by the
scheduling rules, the court could have ruled differently (and in my
opinion, should have).
Other countries are testing synthetics designed to replicate the medicinal
benefits of marijuana but those drugs have problems being tested in the US
because of marijuana's mandated position in the drug schedule. That is the
main reason that there is "no compelling proof" that marijuana has any
medical benefits; it can't be reasonably tested by people that the US
government trusts, including itself. As long as it can't even be tested,
there won't be any proof. As long as there isn't any proof, it can't even
be tested. So until the law mandating marijuana's position in the drug
schedule is changed to allow it to be judged according to the scheduling
rules, people will be missing out on possible solutions to extreme medical
problems.
That combined with the blind acceptance of the US drug policy that mandates
this ridiculousness makes me twitch. I keep hearing people saying "Yay! A
victory for the war on drugs!" when the decision is really a setback for
extremely ill people.
