CAN SYNTHETIC LOVE SAVE THE UNIVERSE?

Regarding the question posed by the Publisher last issue regarding using
the illegal drug Ecstasy to help make the prisoners of war talk. She could
be right on target.

It was reported by the New York Times two weeks later that the Food and
Drug Administration has approved the first study of this illegal party drug
as a treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder. Conscious of the need
for drugs to treat the disorder after the September 11 attacks, the
Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic

Studies, a non-profit group working to have psychedelic drugs approved as
medicines, applied in October for government approval of a study in which
20 people will take Ecstasy during therapy sessions. The theory is that the
drug will reduce fear so patients can talk about the trauma.

Another question for the publisher might be, "Could it be our children have
been self-medicating for years because of the fear created by our public
schools". Just another question whose time has come.
