ASSumption JUNKtion #001

If this article is the coverage at NPR, where can we find real journalism that asks things like:

• Are we still 100% sure that brain chemicals/systems cause depression? (Just like how red bumps and a fever causes chicken pox, right?)
• Doesn't MSG contain the word "glutamate?" That couldn't possibly mean anything, right?
• Seriously, we're going to rattle of that list of pharmaceuticals thrown at people to treat depression and not even mention Cannabis? Depressing, indeed!
• Is it worth mentioning the unspoken assumption that drug companies can, should, and will isolate the properties of one chemical, then use that to make a whole new class of drugs that they will then sell us as the only/best way to make people feel OK in what is clearly a really messed up world? I for one am not really in to that scenario...

On a semi-related note, I saw this headline but never read the article. Sounds like a mess!

Hmmmmmm...

Also, HCMC called and said they found my boots, belt, and gloves. No word on my knife.
