#2 Hmmmmmmmm...

As published in Forbes and originally published in the journal Social Psychology and Personality Science, Botox takes away or dampens the emotional feelings in a particular situation. That may be due to less interaction between facial muscle movement and brain. According to David Neal, a psychology professor at the University of Southern California, if muscular signals from the face to the brain are dampened, youre less able to read emotions.[64]

One way botox might affect emotional feelings is by dampening the relay of signals from the face to the amygdala and brainstem centers for autonomic arousal.[65]

The mental effects of botox may extend beyond emotional feelings to the ability to understand language about emotions. An experimental study suggests that cosmetic use of botulinum toxin for treatment of glabellar lines affects human cognition. As reported in the L.A. Times,[66] Havas and colleagues (Havas, Glenberg, Gutowski, Lucarelli, & Davidson, 2010 [67]) asked subjects to read emotional (angry, sad, happy) sentences before and two weeks after botox injections in the corrugator supercilii muscle used in frowning. Reading times for angry and sad sentences were longer after botox injection than before injection, while reading times for happy sentences were unchanged. This finding suggests that facial muscle paralysis has a selective effect in human cognition, and shows that botox hinders the ability to understand language. According to the lead researcher in this study, "botox causes a kind of mild, temporary, cognitive blindness to information in the world, social information about the emotions of other people."

#4 It is not medicare so much as terrifying seniors with tall tales of what Republicans will do to Medicare. She is counting on tbe media to help her spread the big lies. I hope Americans are at the point that theyno longer trust the media but i am not so sure.

#5 If there were any chance of this actually happening, they would have someone far more credible than Nancy talking about it.

#6 I hope the majority of the people in our country are not voting only for the stuff they get from Uncle Sugar.

#7 But they are, JohnQC, they are. Whether for stock price support, mortgage bailouts, farm subsidies, SSDI/Medicare, food stamps, mortgage deductions - whatever. Virtually everyone is now 'dependent' on the government in some way, to some degree, and that is most assuredly NOT an accident.

#8 Some people, like Pelosi, think they can talk to old people as if they were children. But I think there are a lot of old people with enough teeth left in their heads to be insulted by it. They know where the money comes from and they have a pretty good idea about how it gets wasted and squandered by the likes of Madam Pelosi.
