UprightMRI2.jpgNotoPipeline.jpgGirlwithGun.jpg

Join Sex and Politics, this week we bring you Dr. Scott Bender via telephone to for a discussion on the medical efficacy of the relatively new upright MRI technology. Dan Kinch interviewed activist Clare Donohue one of the founders of the Sane Energy Project for an update on the actions of Sane Energy Project. Clare discussed the ongoing attempts to construct a gas pipeline up 10th avenue up to 15th street, and Sane Energy Projects opposition to it.

Defense attorney Tim Parlatore joined us as a returning guest for a rousing discussion on the 2nd Amendment, and the role of the military in domestic law enforcement. Unfortunately due to some technical difficulties we lost the final moments of the show which contained an interesting discussion on the use of drone technology. We apologize to our listeners and to Mr. Parlatore for that.Guest-TimothyParlatore.jpg

DSM4.jpgSchizophrenia.jpg

Pharmaceutical companies are about to start raining pills down upon our children.  The DSM (Diagnostic Statistical Manual), the holy bible of the behavioral sciences, is about to undergo changes to its core so resounding and dramatic, that  psychiatrists will  be able to proscribe meds, especially anti-psychotic meds, in such a widening scope of cases, that alarm bells are being rung loudly.
