The Rambler's rambles

One of the biggest questions that gets raised throughout our scientific era is whether or not the human race will become extinct. The sun will burn us all off in a few hundred million years and we need to build our light-speed technology to visit a habitable planet quickly. However, our current record is laughable since we can barely get to Mars. But a lot can change in a few million years and it can be possible that we survive by colonizing distant planets. So is that possible? Will we live long enough that we can actually build technology great enough to surpass even light speed? Well, maybe. It depends on our research into space exploration which already has a very low budget. And the human race can be exterminated in a plethora of ways. We could unleash nuclear armageddon. We can die because of natural causes due to mother earth bucking us once and for all. We can have our technology surpass us which ultimately kills us. We can have global climate change create a mass extinctio...

After marijuana was legalized in Colorado, there seemed to be an imposing question looming for all of the states: Should they follow suit? The marijuana business in Colorado has officially been started as anyone can use marijuana as a recreational drug. This understandably created a huge debate on whether or not marijuana should be a drug anyone could use. This debate has been going on for decades now as states are wondering whether their original marijuana bans are still legitimate. Let's look at the facts first. It is true that marijuana is better for you than cigarettes. Studies have shown that marijuana can actually improve lung capacity and airflow rates albeit by a minute amount that is hardly noticeable.  Stefan Kertesz, M.D., a senior author of the study and associate professor in the UAB Division of Preventive Medicine found marijuana does not cause long-term lung problems that cigarettes do though there are temporary irritations of the throat and the lungs. In general, ...
