You can give them all the placebos and psych meds you want, but people who have decided they have this condition or any other similar condition (fibromyalgia et al) got their information from somewhere. Somewhere's the Internet, and they'll go look up the drugs you gave them and come screaming back that you gave them psych drugs when they need magic worm killing pills.
The same thing happens for Irritable Bowel syndrome, even though research shows SSRIs to be really helpful in its treatment in a substantial number of patients.
There is a Morgellons Foundation and they give out big grants. One of the Pharmacology professors at OSU-HSC received one of the grants to lead the research into the "disease." I've been in the academic world a long time and haven't run across too many professors who would turn down a pile of money to research a little known disease.
Randy Wymore happens to be a really sharp guy too, I think he's mostly trying to keep an open mind about it, but so far it looks like the craziness that we assume it is.
I'm not really sure that your spleen makes digestive enzymes. Unless spleen is one hell of a typo for pancreas.
And as far as NIDDM (the New and Improved term for Type II Diabetes) being "entirely treatable" through diet and exercise; it's certainly more common in obese sedentary people, but there's a significant genetic predisposition to it, and there are raging fatties who never develop it, and thin, fit people who do.
Then would you say that Native Americans would be justified in sending suicide bombers to your house?
As justified as we were in mudering an overwhelming majority of them, stealing their land, and pretending that it was the right thing to do. Yeah. They would be that justified. So what you're basically trying to say is that the deliberate strike on civilians on 9/11 was a military action fully justified by past sins of the US govt?
What he's trying to say is that we aren't the good guys. We just have a better propoganda machine. You want to know where the best terrorist training camp in the world is? The good ol' US of A baby. The recently renamed School of the Americas is by far the leading "Counter Insurgency" (read: terrorism) training facility in the world. Nobody comes close.
There is a distinct difference, though. If Israeli soldiers kill an unarmed kid, there will be a big outcry from within Israel. Yet there is routine killing of kids by Arabs and only deafening silence from the Arab community. BTW, Arafat is no angel himself. IF ISRAELI SOLDIERS KILLED AN UNARMED KID??? IF? Are you kidding? Can you read, or do you choose not to? Over a HUNDRED children have been killed in this intifada. Schoolgirls, infants, you name it. So there would be an outcry eh? Well, mirabile dictu, there ain't. What does that say about our number one aid beneficiary. And just in case you're one of the people that think that more Israelis than Palistineans have been killed in this intifada, maybe you should take a minute and look up some facts.
You know why Bin Laden hates the US? Because the infidels dared to set foot on the holy land. You know why he hates the Saudi Government, because they let the infidels do it. And still you equate his motives with the US's.
That bastard. I can't believe he got mad about a hostile foreign power occupying his homeland. It's a good thing that the Americans are a peace loving people, because they would let whomever wanted to build a big military base right next to Arlington National Cemetery, as long as they were real nice about it. His excuse for killing a couple thousand innocent people in unjustified, but our excuse for doing the same thing isn't even questioned. "Well, they shouldn't have started it" you might say. THEY DIDN'T START IT. Afghani peasants, the ones paying the real price for Dubya's war on terror, had absolutely nothing to do with the strikes. Saudi oil money probably had a lot to do with it, but we don't bomb them, because they sell us oil.
wars are fought by militaries
so the american revolution was a "terrorist act" because the American rebels targeted loyalist civilians sometimes and didn't have nation-state status?
does anyone, anywhere up there have a spell checker? I mean; supercede? Supersede is the only word in English that ends with "sede". This has been a paid public service announcement from the grammar police.
Isn't DeCSS more analogous to publishing the way that a safe works than publishing the combination? Have we really lost the right to know how equipment that we own works?

Yeah, its called a Playstation. Most older multiplayer games used the link cable and two TV's. mmmmmmmmmmm linked Wipeout.

Now if we can just combine the two technologies...a concealable camera that can see through clothes in glorious 640x480.
