Why don't we focus on eliminating the chemicals that are killing Americans?

As in, All the nonsense that's in our foods, what we are prohibited from knowing about?

Ammonia in beef driplets is the least of it. Why don't we focus on what's making everyone fat, no matter how much they eat?

HFCS is doing it's part to kill Americans, as is extra salt, fat, sugar added into most everything--NOT JUST processed foods, but "fresh" foods as well--color injected or fed into animals we eat, antibiotics which have made most others lose efficacy, chemicals flushed into water supplies, oceans, lakes, rivers that certainly affect other animals.

So, why, goddammit, don't we stop these atrocities, which affect Americans on a daily basis, before getting involved in a civil war which has only recently used/maybe not, chemical weapons on others, while chemical weapons are being routinely used against Americans and directly affect our own citizens?

Oh, look. Another school attack with death.

**CORRECTION**

I originally referred to this atrocity as a "shooting." Apologies to all.

A teen student was stabbed to death and three others were injured in a possible gang-related confrontation Wednesday at Spring High School in the Houston suburb of Spring, Texas, Harris County Sheriff Adrian Garcia said.

Three students described as "persons of interest" were taken into custody after the fight in a hallway leading to the school cafeteria, he said. At least two were taken away in handcuffs, KTRK-TV reports.

The sheriff's office later said it was questioning a 17-year-old boy as the only suspect, the Houston Chroniclereported.

Spring High School, which serves 3,000 students, was locked down, and classes were canceled the rest of the week.

Garcia said the stabbing occurred around 7:10 a.m. and "may have been gang-related." He said the incident started with a physical confrontation involving a "cutting instrument." Investigators have not found the weapon involved.

NALT Christians

This is encouraging, but about 30 years too late.

I had no idea that Diana Nyad, the swimmer from Cuba to FL,

Is a lesbian. That makes me double-cheer!

I feel dirty for going there.

Check out the reaction to news that a TX town is running out of water due to fracking. It's amazing.

How many parents, of whatever persuasion, allowed this poster into their sons' rooms?

?w=700

Was that a temporary lapse in the protective shield they try to build against "self-pollution," or a grateful hope that their sons would be straight, as 90% grow up to be?

I kid. I don't expect a valid response to this,but the question is still appropos.

My parents objected to me having that very poster, but I'm still queer.

Even years after the cheat is exposed

Believers still buy into it.



I guess it doesn't matter how many times the crooks are exposed, there's a sucker born (or "reborn&quot every minute.

Imagine how much good all the money these crooks are given could actually do to help the poor, the sick, the hungry-- basically all the things I was taught "christian" meant when I was a child.

"Christians" today, at least the most vocal ones, are the exact opposite of what I was taught as a child in the 70s and 80s.

Actually, more like the Antichrist we were warned about repeatedly.

An Idea I just had. Is it worthy?



It just seems obvious.
