Well, who cares? The America of the future does not need engineers anyway. All it needs is Democrat voters.

Well, this is just kind of obvious considering that it already messes with someone’s ability to recall information, as well as ability to respond. Or how about not feel like doing much.

It also impairs other complex skills like landing aircraft even after the high has worn off. But don’t worry, welfare will take care of us.

So in the study, the group that could not LEGALLY get pot had improved numerical skills. Hummm.

But the real question (and I will not EVEN go to the NPR site)

Does NPR ENDORSE- pot smoking, illicit drugs, alcohol?

About the only thing they hate in common- is cigarettes -

(smoking is O.K.- especially cigars from cuba)

Seriously, though, I remember Time magazine published an article in about ‘68 referencing some research that showed pot interfered with motor skills, like driving, less than alcohol. I guess that explains the popularity of video games...

My apologies. I love engineers, my father was one. You are certainly correct. We have become a nation that produces nothing but “financial services” and fast food. One of which might be good for you but I can’t figure out which.

I owe President Obama an apology. All this time I thought he was lying when he said his budgets were cutting the deficit. Now I know he really just couldn’t get the math right.
