My Commentary: “I would prefer not to.” Ha! I’ve always loved this short story, and while sharing it with a friend a moment ago, a thought occurred to me: was Bartleby on the Autistic Spectrum? Hmmm… I wonder…

White House “Drug Czar,” Gil Kerlikowske
Drug Czar Claims Hemp Fiber Contains THC:

(TokeoftheTown) Drug Czar Gil Kerlikowske has a response(ish) to a petition sent to the White House supporting the legalization of hemp. In his “response,” Gil reveals either a stunning ignorance about hemp, or a shocking propensity to tell a whopper.
My Commentary: Who gave this stooge a speaking role? I probably shouldn’t be so hard on him, though. He’s just relaying to the public more of that progressive government “science” we’ve all come to know and love!

Former President, Jimmy Carter
[Former President] Jimmy Carter Warns Against War With Iran:
http://www.rawstory.com/2012/04/jimmy-carter-warns-against-war-with-iran/
(Agence France-Presse) Former US President Jimmy Carter warned against a possible war with Iran Monday as he decried his nation’s involvement in unjust conflicts at a summit of Nobel Peace Prize laureates in Chicago.
Carter, a naval veteran who served as Democratic president from 1977 to 1981, said that while he is “not against conflict when necessary,” the criteria for a just war are often not met.
My Commentary: Do not believe in the false religion of violence, murder and war as “necessary.”
“War is a way of shattering to pieces, or pouring into the stratosphere, or sinking in the depths of the sea, materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable, and hence, in the long run, too intelligent.” 1984 – George Orwell

While a student at the Judge Rotenberg Center, Andre McCollins is strapped down to a gurney and electrically shocked 31 times after refusing to comply with staff requests that he remove his jacket. His ordeal endures for SEVEN HOURS
JRC Expert Admits Shocks Didn’t Work, But Says Damage Was Minimal:
http://www.myfoxboston.com/story/17630245/2012/04/20/jrc-expert-admits-shocks-didnt-work-but-says-damage-was-minimal
(MyFoxBoston.com) There were tough questions in court Friday for an expert who suggested that a teenager shocked and restrained for hours was treated appropriately.
Psychiatrist Lloyd Price, testifying on behalf of the Judge Rotenberg Center, tried to portray former JRC student Andre McCollins as a violent and angry young man who needed to be restrained.
McCollins was 18 at the time and a client of JRC in 2002 when he was shocked 31 times inside a classroom, mostly while restrained face-down on a restraint board. The treatment was inappropriate and unneeded and is causing damage to this day, his lawyers contend.
My Commentary: “Pain compliance” does not constitute ‘treatment.” It is basic conditioning, such as is done on lab rats… This pseudo-scientific attempt to control the very being of a human is not only in complete violation with our natural born rights, it just so happens to cause brain damage in victims, directly and through trauma. It is just another in a long list of disgraceful and barbaric practices committed against humanity in the name of “medicine.”

Officer Regina Tasca attempts to stop fellow cops from using excessive force against a “suspect”
Bogota Officer May Be Fired For Stopping Beatdown:
http://pix11.com/news/wpix-officer-may-be-fired-after-stopping-beatdown,0,2795580.story/
Plenty of cop “beat downs” can be found online, but how often does the officer who stops others from handing out the beating get fired for it? That’s exactly what’s happening to Officer Regina Tasca in the Bogota Police Department.
Tasca’s dashboard camera captured her as she attempted to stop two officers from beating an emotionally disturbed young man. Just days after the incident, she was told she was being suspended with pay. A year later, her trial is about to begin as the Bogota PD seeks to fire her.
My Commentary: She sees a crime in progress by fellow officers, stops it, and she’s suspended for it! Apparently, she didn’t realize that the biggest gang in America wears blue and carries a badge!
