Suvine. The confederate flag is not banned. It is not illegal. Anyone can fly the thing on their own private property whenever they want to. Or they can walk down the street with it. Or they can stick it up their yazoo if they want. That's their right to free speech.
They cannot make someone else fly it. They cannot make someone else walk down the street with it. They cannot stick it u

Thanks for the link Suez. I'd never heard that phrase before. So it comes not just from Mackow.
Interesting. So I think I see what this means: When someone is a follower of any particular ideology to the point where they have gone beyond ever questioning any of the information presented, and they take it all in as FACT, and then they pass it on to others as FACT, then they become a "

Tai, you make some great points about the level of repression. I lived in Texas some 15+ years after the Civil Rights Act; and even then, some of the "best" schools of Austin, Texas (reputed to be a "progressive" city) still retained their own version of segregation.
They did this by allowing Blacks and Mexicans all into the same school, but then segregating the classrooms

Well then John R., if in the statement above, you're saying (as you have before) that you don't support racism (and I don't either), it seems we agree there (since I also agree with the part that says

John Rose, you can wave that flag all you like.
But the flag is off the capitol grounds in South Carolina. Yes! Whatever the history of the Civil War, the flag has been a noted and consistent symbol of Jim Crow and racial repression - so much so that it recently helped inspire the murders of 9 innocent people in their church. South Carolinians are aware of this fact because they live in So

It's DOWN. Yay finally for the majority, who, at least in this instance, stepped up and demanded a noble response to an ignorant act.
You lingering southern Civil War rebels, fly it inside your own house or on your own lawn if you will. It doesn't belong on State capitol grounds as a constant reminder of Jim Crow and the dark hearts of a dwindling minority. Yes I know the history (...all to

Yes, and let's not forget Native Hawaiians, or the Marshallese, whose island nation was transformed into a nuclear testing site - in return for Spam, Kool-Aid, and the highest rate of diabetes in the world.
On the other hand, I'm personally proud to have direct ancestors who fought in the Revolutionary War. One female ancestor is known to have melted the lead weights in her imported grandfath

My guess: fructose in the form of concentrated sugar extracted from the whole food triggers a different response than fructose consumed as part of a whole food with fiber and all the other natural components of the food.

Interesting observation Brome!
I bet if those penguins/bears/whales/salmons got their fat from the same kind of junk so many humans get fat from, they'd be just as bad off as we are.

Hi HH. I'm glad you enjoyed my story.
To answer your question, my B12 is methylcobalamin - a generic brand that the local health food store puts their label on.
I recently learned something new about methylcobalamin: The reason the dose is so huge is that it degrades easily. A larger dose is required to make up for that.

Living Food, I thought it was pretty cool that you were open-minded about another perspective (Tai's)!
Here are some thoughts on the subject (presented as possibilities, since who can really know?):
Maybe there's no such thing as bad karma - just lessons that all of us must learn (including earthquake victims; bomb victims; the severely disabled; the healthiest, smartest, and kindest among

Thanks for the Fuhrman link. Wow, that's very low, and it seems like both fats and fruits are restricted. Probably this diet would lead to major weight loss if a person sticks to it. This

Hi fresh, I wasn't aware of the book you cited by Dr. Fuhrman. I'd like to have it! I've read his book on fasting, which does include cases of people with diabetes.
I'm assuming the diet is vegan and includes cooked foods, not necessarily very low fat, and with fasting also included as an aid to recovery; but this would be just a guess.
Thanks for the link (wish I could get it today)!

Yes, agreed. But that's as far as it could go. Strong evidence involves an experimental group, a control group, appropriate methodology, and replication. Anecdotal (case history) evidence is considered the weakest form of evidence. Andrew Perlot's demonstra
