Reply #28: Isn't it amazing how ignorant so many people are about the brain

[DELUSIONAL]

Brain function -- physiology should be taught as part of high school biology.

Oh but that might deal with EVOLUTION.

There is so much ignorance about pain and drugs.

I was once dating a guy whose mother was dying of cancer. She wasn't going to be cured and leave the hospital. The family refused to allow her to be given morphine "because she might become addicted". They were using the pain equivalent of band-aids to hold a gaping wound closed.

From the research I've done -- when morphine is used to treat pain it doesn't cause addiction. The whole study of pain and addiction is fascinating.

Could it be that many of the nut cases we are seeing are in denial that death is part of life? We are born, we life and we die. These "born again" fundamentalists believe that they will never die, that Jesus will come and "take them to heaven".

At the same time their "dear" bushie is causing the death of thousands -- but these people don't count, they won't be in the fundie's heaven anyway.

Hell I wouldn't want to be in a fundie heaven! That would be hell.
