some interesting reads

Came across a few interesting reads this weekend:

From The New York Times op-ed section on October 16th, James Shapiro discusses the fascination of major studios trying to unseat Shakespeare in “Hollywood Dishonors the Bard.” Never having been a huge fan of the playwright’s works myself, I still don’t question whether or not Shakespeare really did write Shakespeare. I mean, come on, can’t we just take that there are some people in history that should be respected? Let’s just leave it at that.

And from the Washington Post, Steve Fox questions why medicinal pot research is still taboo in “Marijuana may help PTSD. Why won’t the government find out for sure?” from October 14th. If we were speaking in terms of Twitter, Medical marijuana is still a trending topic. And if war vets suffering from PTSD are given the option of medical marijuana as an option, they would probably take it. These servicemen and women are fighting for our country, the least our country can do is put some dollars into research to help them. #potcallingkettleblack #punintended

Until next time, fellow blog friends!
