Nicotine patch may help improve memory, study finds
Mon Jan 9, 2012
- FYI-Nicotine patches are at least as addictive as cigarettes and other forms of nicotine. [I had a harder time quitting the nicotine replacement products than I did cigarettes]

Duggars expecting 20th baby: But is it safe?
Wed Nov 9, 2011
- Sorry, but I really don't care if it's safe. I keep hearing that it's her "right" to have as many kids as she wants to have. In that vein, she made the decision and the consequences are hers. I have a neighbor with 21 kids.

- She may have the "right" to have as many children as she wants to have, but what about my rights as a taxpayer? Prior to their show, I was stuck paying for them. I wanted a big family too, but couldn't afford to do it-so I stopped. BTW-I have a neighbor with 21 kids.
Victims speak out about North Carolina sterilization program, which targeted women, young girls and blacks
Mon Nov 7, 2011
- It would be interesting to see how many of the sterilized people were profoundly retarded or seriously mentally ill. I have no doubt they're showcasing only a few that were sterilized wrongly. It was common practice of the time to sterilize people who were unable to care for themselves.

Dementia patients suffer dubious hospitalizations
Wed Sep 28, 2011
- Kelcy, I see your point, but the problem I've seen is that when the taxpayer is paying the bill, families don't have a financial incentive to complete the forms. They expect cadillac care all the way--and if anything goes wrong, or if the person dies, they then sue the facility.

- No one mentions that these patients still remain "full code" rather than Do Not Recesutate. It mentions in the article that they tend to be black or latino and don't have advanced directives.
Unplanned pregnancies rising among poor women
Wed Aug 24, 2011
- I heartily agree. Telling people to not have sex isn't a viable option. Education and availability of birth control is the only way to go. Eliminating the incentives to get pregnant would be helpful as well. [Not paying people to get pregnant]

- Anybody stop and think about the economy? The only way you can actually have guaranteed income, food, housing and medical care is if you're poor and pregnant. Duh.
