A conference lecture by Dr Melanie Dreher reviewing a randomized study carried out in the early 1990's analysing the developmental effects on the new born children from mothers that smoked marijuana during pregnancy in Jamaca. The study compares intellectual as well as physiological and emotional development between two groups, being woman that smoked cannabis (divided into light, moderate & heavy use) and a group of woman that were drug free during pregnancy. The outcomes drawn are truly thought provoking tragic at the same time, and not at all what you would expect!
Largly shunned by the academic world when published and since in literature reviews, Dr Dreher shows clearly the arrogant academic snobbery, eliteism and short sightness in the academic world. What I fail to understand is how the academic world stands by and ignores a highly relavent insight and still calls their ongoing litrature reviews and subsequent conclusions as accurate. The mind boggles.
Even though this is a long video clocking in at 30mins, do take the time to watch it through, there are some remarkable closing statements made by Dr Dreher, and the journey itself while heavy at times is quite astounding.

Music Video: "Ministry: Lieslieslies"
With the turmoil of our western democratic system, industrial metal legends "Ministry" have come forth with a smack in the face of George W with their politically charged (and appropriately titled ) "Lieslieslies" track, from the 2006 release "Rio Grande Blood".
This is their second most current release and some of their most political work to date. Their latest on the other hand, "The Last Sucker", continues this deeply political vibe, with an even more pissed off sound! It is said to be Ministry's last album of original material by founding member Al Jourgensen, sighting that 20 + years the band has run its course. I digress a little. Just enjoy the track and feel the anger.
