In contrast, we did not find evidence that states that passed medical cannabis laws had different overdose mortality rates in years prior to law passage, providing a temporal link between laws and changes in opioid analgesic overdose mortality. "The age-adjusted death rate for alcohol-induced causes for the total population increased 2.7 percent from 7.4 in 2009 to 7.6 in 2010 (Internet Tables I-5 and I-6)
Gun deaths shaped by race in America
Although suicides account for almost twice as many gun deaths as homicides nationwide, they tend to be quiet tragedies, unnoticed outside the hushed confines of family and friends. The reasoning is that determined people can find a way to kill themselves, although suicide experts say the prevalence of guns allows for impulse suicides that otherwise might not occur

York Town Square
Much later, Hanover adopted a municipal flag bearing the colors of blue, the color of the state flag; white, for York, the White Rose City; and gold, prominent in the heraldry of the House of Hannover, Germany. This obscure building serves as another example of a now-obscure building or house around the county in which a man or a woman of accomplishment did great things
The Tragedy of the American Military - The Atlantic
The more exasperated Americans grew about economic and social problems, the more relieved they were when competent men in uniform, led by General Thomas E. Most Americans were familiar enough with the military to respect it while being sharply aware of its shortcomings, as they were with the school system, their religion, and other important and fallible institutions
Top Five Causes of the Civil War - American History
The fight between Slave and Non-Slave State Proponents.As America began to expand, first with the lands gained from the Louisiana Purchase and later with the Mexican War, the question of whether new states admitted to the union would be slave or free.

The little-told story of how the U.S. government poisoned alcohol during Prohibition.
Still, the incident created an unsurprising lack of trust in government motives, which reveals itself in the occasional rumors circulating today that federal agencies, such as the CIA, mix poison into the illegal drug supply. "Only one possessing the instincts of a wild beast would desire to kill or make blind the man who takes a drink of liquor, even if he purchased it from one violating the Prohibition statutes," proclaimed Sen
I pointed out that this post is inflammatory and misleading at best, and that we are asking our officers to deal with the scum of the earth with very little support from joe public. We try not to agitate the Iraqi people with abusive, intimidating home invasions, stops, and searches, but the police treat American citizens like suspected criminals and terrorists
The Mongol War Machine: How were the Mongols able to forge the largest contiguous land empire in history? :
However, if the Mongols were to conquer the world, they would need to be disciplined and be loyal to something or someone more than to themselves and loot. Once the Mongols became master besiegers, the tactic of hiding behind massive stone walls instead of fielding armies to face the Mongols in the open, actually helped the Mongols to beat them, because the Mongols just took every city and town they came across one by one, defeating enemies in a piecemeal fashion

I think of them, too, because it is clear to me that there will be no meaningful solution there until some attempt is made to know them and hear their broken cries
A Land Without Guns: How Japan Has Virtually Eliminated Shooting Deaths - The Atlantic
Is it too bleak? Does it convey any hope for race relations? Is that even the point? Thus far, The Atlantic has posted three essays on Between the World and Me, from Michael Eric Dyson, James Forman Jr., and Tressie McMillan Cottom, all of them uncritical. The Japanese and American ways of thinking about crime, privacy, and police powers are so different -- and Japan is such a generally peaceful country -- that it's functionally impossible to fully isolate and compare the two gun control regiments
How the U.S. Got Involved In Vietnam
This became known as the "Staley plan." General Maxwell Taylor and White House aide Walt Rostow led a delegation that "expressed a conscious decision by the Secretary of State to turn the Vietnam problem over to the Secretary of Defense."(63) The major theme of the Taylor-Rostow report was that the Vietnam problem was mainly a military one, which could be solved by a larger commitment of American power including, if necessary, American fighting men. Although this agreement resulted in an uneasy truce, it was soon made obvious that France had no intention of allowing Cochin China to unite with the rest of Vietnam
