I look at this "change" coming in our socitey ar just that - Change. Nobody truly knows how this is going to shake out. I am actually pretty curious to see how society is going to react.

It will give us something to talk about besides the latest sports news...Does anybody else think it is utterly ludicrous to pay people tens of millions of dollars becasue they can catch or put s ball in the hole ???

I cannot wait to see how this is going to pan out for them.

Work and music. I work 60 hours a week, and spend a bit of my free time listening to my massive vinyl collection.

I do many things: smoke high quality cannabis, go sailing, go to the beach, read, play video games, watch movies, go biking, travel, hang out with friends, play with my cat, photography, the list goes on and on.

In fact, I just do the same stuff I've always done, Peak Oil be damned.

To a certain extent, yes. Most of the major sports involve skills that would have made for a good hunter back in the environment in which we evolved.

Somebody who can throw a baseball 400 feet or a football 60 yards, for example, probably could throw a spear with a lot of force as well.

In relative dollar terms I agree the salaries of not only sports people but many business people are just way out of line. When the people building your wealth can barely scrape by to buy food and put gas in the car. When these same people (40million and counting) are just one medical incident from becoming wholly destitute.

What a sad system things have evolved to. The CIA world fact book says that just about all the wealth created in the USA since 1975 has gone to the top 20% so much for the old rising tide lifting all boats analogy and "trickle down".

I also find it galling that the smiling face of a sports celebrity gets for example 60 million per year. While the guy sewing the shoes gets less than 1c per shoe made. The guy producing creating the tangible product does not even get to have a half decent life.

If this is what the capitalism end game is yet again going to gravitate to then once again people will have to rise up and demand justice in the form of more adequate compensation for workers.

If the smiling celebrity head goes on strike you can still buy your shoes, clothing or electronics. If the workers go on strike you will quickly see where the real value comes from.

NOTE: The marketing industry should be banned. To my mind it's just a tool for large companies to stifle competition.

Nothing phases Matt yet feel free to waste all of your time trying.

Like a religion Matt believes what Matt believes.

To answer the question at hand.
Painkiller use rising at alarming rate

The sheeple are all drugged as I presume many are here but of course simply "getting" PO does not mean you are not still one of the sheeple...

I'm going to regret this, but why do you call the fossil record bogus? Is it a conspiracy by evil museum curators? Did I imagine those fossils I collected during geology lessons, or is it a test from God?

For what it's worth. I work in the IT industry. (Not sure if I would count myself in the top 20% but I feel im doing ok. I just hate blatant injustice and hypocrisy)

ANYHOW the point I want to make that NO ONE posting on any internet forum is truly anonymous.

The reason I bring this up is it's a small chance but you could one day find statements made here used against you. E.g. drug taking.

NOTE: I don't personally take illegal drugs, I do believe in making all drugs legal including hard drugs such as heroin, crack, cocaine etc.. Freedom and all that.

I agree wholeheartedly yet fear is like the wind, it passes around me but not through me...

Persecution comes in many forms and should be resisted in all ways.

Freedom and all that... 8)

The fossil record does not show a clear "simple-to-complex" progression of life forms. Life is complex and well developed wherever it is found in the fossil record. Major groups of plants and animals appear suddenly in the fossil record, with nothing leading up to them. Most rock layers and the fossils they contain can be explained better by a worldwide flood and subsequent events.
