Depends on the level you're working at. On the Federal level, we are most certainly a republic. The most an individual citizen can do to change things on this level is to elect someone else or bitch...

Pretty soon they'll say that the Republican party is equivalent to the clergy and that all liberals are heretics. Texas, please secede. You have it in your constitution. Thank you.

I keep seeing threads that say what is good for dreaming, but we never say what specifically is bad for it. We all know what we should take to enhance the dreaming experience. But I've noticed that...

My opinion on social policies is this: as long as what you do does not affect the rights of others (environmental law excluded,) then you can do whatever the hell you damn well please. If you want a...

How is the entire concept of dreaming not weird? http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/hallucinations.png [Alt-text: And the possibility of lucid dreaming just makes it that much more fascinating.]

This dream starts out with me walking around in my front yard north of the house. It's slightly overcast outside. As I walk eastward, I notice a hexagonally-shaped mushroom that resembles a biscuit under a sassafras tree. [Odd, for a mushroom.] I recognize it as a psychedelic variety I think that I've seen from pictures on the Internet. I pluck the head off and go inside.
My house looks no different from how it is normally in real life. Wrapping the head in a couple of tissues, I flop down in front of the TV and watch some market report on a "weed economy." I stand up, and Dad walks in with a set of brown mutton chops for a beard. [???] We talk for a bit, then I head off to my room, walking past Mom, who says something like "people will buy weed!" "No they won't," I reply. I stop for a second. I think to myself, "Don't we usually take different sides? Isn't Mom anti-drug, through and through?" None the wiser, I keep walking. [I could have expanded on that, and probably gone lucid. Damn.]
I set my wrapped mushroom head down on my bedspread, tear off a corner of it, pop it into my mouth, and suck on it for a while. Nothing happens for a bit, then things start getting all wavy. [I've had these sorts of visual distortions all my life, just never this intense.] I pull out my iPod, and listen to a couple songs. The bass side of things is really faint, and everything high-pitched is accentuated. I lay down on my bed, trying to get a little bit of rest. As soon as my eyes close, though, I awake.
[Accomplished goal: take a psychedelic in a dream.]
