Joke: About the fence between God and the Devil

By Mickey Fellows in “Why is God Laughing?” by Deepak Chopra God and the Devil were arguing about the fence that separated Heaven and Hell.  “Your side’s falling down,” said God.  “Just look at it.” “So what?”  said the Devil. “We’re both responsible for keeping our side.  Mine is perfect.” The Devil shrugged indifferently.  “So [...]

TO THE YOUNG WOMEN OF MALOLOS

Prohibitions vs. Drugs and Delusions

Had drugs been prohibited around the time of Moses (1391 BC onward), there most probably wouldn’t have been any of the 10 Commandments, a product of a psychedelic cocktail, according to an Israeli researcher.  That Moses was tripping on ayahuasca atop Mt.

My Critical Thinker’s Bond Song: Golden Eye

My Critical Thinker’s-inspired Bond song suddenly comes up! Fortunately, it really is one of my few favorite Bond songs! Tina Turner exudes IT.
