THE FUTURE IS NOW?
.. What will happen to this country with news like this one about drug use in teens and another one about how poor students are getting disavantaged? We wanted to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq? What about the WMD of broken education coupled with cultural disintegration happening in today's youth? This is a greater threat to America than any usual rhetoric spewed out by the left wing/right wing nuts of this country.

OF MICE AND WINE
.. Scientists discover a substance that when added to the diet of mice reduces obesity-related associated with diabetes, heart-disease and cancer. The compound, called resveratrol and found naturally in red wine may just be the answer a lot of health-conscious people have been waiting for. As always, anything done in excess is bad and may, in this case, mitigate the intended healthy effect of drinking red wine. So take a sip, enjoy the pleasure of good company and hope for the best.

KILLING HER SOFTLY
.. A study concludes that rural divorced women have more illnesses than normal immediately after divorcing. The implication of the study is that "there seems to be a link between the higher number of physical illnesses and the different stresses associated with divorce, including financial problems, demotions, layoffs and parenting problems." This appears counterintuitive to conventional wisdom of separating to escape the misery of married life, except that the operative word here is RURAL. I doubt it if urban women generally experience the same considering the myriad opportunities in both career and personal development that cities offer. Is it because rural women have less support in terms of personal and financial relationships that otherwise would help them mentally cope? Most likely. Plus the study added that divorced women, especially in rural areas, have poor job opportunities and fewer support systems.
