Time Magazine's Opinions

Drugs Can LSD cause prolonged psychosis? Agree The disease is striking in beachside beatnik pads and in the dormitories of expensive prep schools; it has grown into an alarming problem at U.C.L.A. and on the U.C. campus at Berkeley. And everywhere the diagnosis is the same: psychotic illness resulting from unauthorized, nonmedical use of the drug LSD. Edit Pitches 11 Mar 1966    Source Physics Is global warming caused primarily by humans? Disagree Whatever the cause of the cooling trend, its effects could be extremely serious, if not catastrophic. Scientists figure that only a 1% decrease in the amount of sunlight hitting the earth's surface could tip the climatic balance, and cool the planet enough to send it sliding down the road to another ice age within only a few hundred years. The Crisis Pitch   Edit Pitches 24 Jun 1974    Source Agree Be worried. Be very worried. ...Pump enough CO2 into the sky, and that last part per million of greenhouse gas behaves like the 212th degree Fahrenheit that turns a pot of hot water into a plume of billowing steam.

Religion Is Scientology a scam? Agree Ruined lives. Lost fortunes. Federal crimes. Scientology poses as a religion but is really a ruthless global scam -- and aiming for the mainstream. Edit Pitches 06 May 1991    Source Global Warming Do negative feedback loops mostly cushion the effect of atmospheric CO2 increases? Disagree Pump enough CO2 into the sky, and that last part per million of greenhouse gas behaves like the 212th degree Fahrenheit that turns a pot of hot water into a plume of billowing steam. Edit Pitches 03 Apr 2006    Source Politics Was George Bush a good president? Disagree In the end, though, it will not be the creative paralysis that defines Bush. It will be his intellectual laziness, at home and abroad. Bush never understood, or cared about, the delicate balance between freedom and regulation... He never considered the complexities of the cultures he was invading, [nor] that faith, unaccompanied by rigorous skepticism, is a recipe for myopia and foolishness. ... He is less than President now, and that is appropriate. He was never very much of one. Edit Pitches 26 Nov 2008    Source
