a number of years ago, when I worked a poll as clerk, there was a gentleman who brought all the residents of his group home to vote. The home was for the mentally and physically challenged and he had completed the forms that gave him the right to 'assist' them in voting. Now I understand that cerebral palsy affects the body and not the mind, so people with this are more than competent to vote. But my question is this, for the ones who have limited mental capacity and may not even understand the process, should they be allowed to vote? Does his 'assisting them' to vote give him more than his 'one man one vote' status? Would like opinions on this.

eg. Friend's Granny - nitrazepam stopped. Spent 2 years on anti-hypertensive drugs (4 different) feeling dreadful. Now sleeping badly, but scared to visit GP as not willing to take more BP drugs. Just hopes if she has a heart attack or stroke it's a big one!
eg. Tramadol,given for severe headaches following neurosurgery years ago - quantity now reduced. Also refusing anti-hypertensives. Just had mastectomy. Scared of inadequate pain relief.
Neither is suicidal. Both drugs ? addictive, but for someone over 70 & under medical supervision does it matter?
Neighbour just died - massive stroke. Last few years miserable - anti-hypertensives again. Was it worth it?
It's like medicines by rote. don't these people count as individuals?

Two turtles go camping and pack a cooler with sandwiches and beer. After three days of walking, they arrive at a great spot but realize they've forgotten a bottle opener. The first turtle turns to the second and says, "You've gotta go back and get the opener or else we have no beer."

"No way," says the second. "By the time I get back, you will have eaten all the food."

"I promise I won't," says the turtle. "Just hurry!"
Nine full days pass and there's still no sign of the second turtle. Exasperated and starving, the first turtle digs into the sandwiches. Suddenly, the second turtle pops out from behind a rock and yells, "I knew it! I'm not f**king going!"

Did God himself, through the apostle Paul, not predict you atheists and evolutionists, 2000 years ago?
Read 2 Timothy 4:3-4
And of course He had something to say for those of us who do believe as well, 2 Timothy 4:6-8. Is that awesome! or what?

I had my moustach waxed at a salon and for some reason this guy decided to do my chin and under my lips... needless to say he burned me and the doctor said it was only 1st degree.. he gave me antibiotics though for infection. My question is that it scabbed the next day, then the scab fell off on day 3... it was pinkish and now I have these hard scaly bumps.. what is this?? Do I have to be concened with scarring or a mark. It looks like a raised jagged line about an inch long right at the corner of my mouth till about my chin. I just do now want any marks and I do not understand what these little pimple looking things are!

We found this 3/4 pint bottle in my in-laws' liquor cabinet; we figure 30 years because that is the last time we had a dessert and demi-tasse gathering at their house. It was opened then; perhaps we used three or four shots that evening. I find crystalized sugar under the metal screw on top; otherwise the remaining liquid appears to be clear and clean. I'm not an expert on liqueurs ... would this still be good for cooking or baking?

He said, “I have more to boast of than ever any man had. I am the only man that has ever been able to keep a whole church together since the days of Adam... Neither Paul, John, Peter, nor Jesus ever did it. I boast that no man ever did such work as I. The followers of Jesus ran away from Him; but the Latter-day Saints never ran away from me yet.” (History of The Church 6:408–409)
