The United States is a melting pot nation with many religious people with different religions. There is no official religion of the U.S., as opposed to Saudi Arabia or Great Britain. Our founding fathers had the wisdom to create a secular government which tolerated all religions, whether Christian, Muslim, Jewish, or any of the rest of them.

I like Newt. He is very intelligent and gives insightful lectures. But, like any other politician I’ve ever heard, when he starts to talk religion, the horse manure gets a little deep. If one does look at the U.S. Constitution, as printed online, you can do a ctrl f word search and enter “god”, and there is no mention of the word. God is mentioned only once in the Declaration of Independence, and it does look like they’re talking about a montheistic God, but they express it oddly as “…Nature’s God…”. There certainly is no mention of Jesus or Christ. The main philosophy driving the creation of the U.S. was the Age of Reason rather than some particular religion.
Al Gore on the bongos.
Some words roll off the tongue awkwardly, or sound bad, and gal does both. It sounds like someone beginning to vomit. But maybe there’s some sort of antiquated association with the word, gal . To me, gal harkens up a picture of the Andrew Sisters at a dude ranch. When was the last time you heard someone use the word auto ? “Where’d you park your car ?” compared to “Where’d you park your auto ?”
The women all had good kicking technique. It’s not problematic that they enjoyed kicking this dummy in the gonads, necessarily, since kicking and punching people is actually very invigorating. Good training, too, in case they ever get hassled. As for the dude asking to be kicked in his privates, it’s a sign he needs to look for a career change.

The earth warms and cools naturally without the help of pollution. Whether or not the computer models are sufficient to predict the future can be debated. Pollution might affect the weather, but I fall short of believing that it is a controlling factor. Yet, despite my agnosticism, I’ve always been against pollution. So, I’m cool with reducing pollution. The cap ‘n’ trade tactic is a loser, unfortunately. It won’t work because China and India and the rest of the 3rd world aren’t on the program. If it won’t work, do something else (That’s my politics in a nutshell: Pragmatism). The reason why polluting technology is used is because it’s the cheapest. Cap ‘n’ trade comes with a price, and maybe that money would be better invested in R & D, to develop technology that is non-polluting and cheaper than present technology.

I’ve heard that coffee promotes fat. I’m not sure about that. Could be, but if you drink coffee, it should be taken black, no sugar. It’s an acquired taste, but it doesn’t take long to acquire it.
Green tea is the preferred drink. It has a similar drug effect that coffee has, but seems to be mellower. Green tea is consumed by itself, no sugar or fat content.

Avoid tap water. As a plumber/pipefitter, I know why you should avoid tap water, but that’s a long story.

Milk is pushed by doctors because they see the protein, calcium and vitamin D as being essential. I wonder if supplements are a better way to get those nutrients. Then again, I wonder if pills work.

Having watched that lesson on fructose, I’ll be reading the ingredients of bread at the supermarket. And maybe I’ll cut down the beer consumption a little, too.

I sneezed last night.
ah…ah…ah-CHOO – HOO
My entire body quaked, my hat shot straight in the air, and I think my heart stopped. I’m sure it frightened the neighbors.

“My Boy Lollipop” hit the charts in 1964, even though it appears she lip-synced her hit, there, in that clip in 1973….in her scrumptious, little white jump suit. The thing is, in 1964, that was the depth of pop music, and into that exploded the Beatles to bring back the driving
down beat, the spirit of Chuck Berry, and the “rock group”.
