Dietary SupplementsVersus Drugs,

Interesting article.  As a user of dietary supplements rather than drugs, whenever possible, I do not like the idea of regulating dietary supplements, such as vitamins and the like.  Instead of ibuprophen, for arthritis, I take peptan 500 a purified collegen powder and Danish Rose Hips.  The FDA says this is safe and it works in many people. 

Here is the article, for you to view..  by the way have you noticed how many drugs are advertised on TV, maybe that is where we need to start, we are building a pill dependent nation.  If you have children start counting the ads, drugs, such as and including Viagra, .. this should be the pervue of the doctor and not advertised for the youth of America to try and get,for recreational use.

In Florida there are clinics everywhere for dangerous drugs, and the addiction problem is seriously linked to the easy access in the clinics.  They have traced people from Tennessee and Alabama for example driving to the nearest Florida clinic to get oxycontin and then bringing it back to their state and selling it on the street.



The Lethal Impact of Flawed Government

By Bill Faloon
Horrifying problems are being overlooked by a majority of the American citizenry.
We hear almost daily reports of governmental ineptitude and fraud but blindly assume this will not seriously impact us.
Complacency in the face of oppressive and ineffective government is absurd in light of real world examples that exist today.
An extreme illustration can be seen between the per capita income of North and South Korea. If you are fortunate enough to live in South Korea, you enjoy annual per capita income of $26,000, but those confined to North Korea struggle with a meager annual per capita income of $1,700. The North Korean government shoots those who try to flee to China or the South.
It was not always this way. In the early part of last century, North Korea was the prosperous part of the country. It has more natural resources and had greater industrial development. After suffering nearly 60 years under the rule of a centrally directed economic dictatorship, the population is impoverished. Famine is estimated to have killed millions in the mid 1990s and remains a threat today. South Korea, on the other hand, has the 30th highest per capita income in the world.

The difference between South and North Korea is government.

In the United States today, our government is being manipulated at every level by pharmaceutical interests. As Life Extension® adamantly predicated in the 1980s, the inevitable consequence of governmental intrusion into health care is the approval of dangerous drugs, the delay of lifesaving therapies, and the financial insolvency of this nation.
In the coming months, you will be reading inside reports about how prescription drugs are being marked up 100 times over the cost of manufacture. Consumers pay these rip-off government-protected prices through their medical insurance premiums, prescription drug co-pays, or out-of-pocket purchases of FDA-approved medications.
To add insult to the largest consumer fraud in the history of mankind, pharmaceutical interests have successfully lobbied Congress to pass the Medicare Prescription Drug Act of 2007 and the Health Care Reform Act of 2010 that mandates that tax dollars be used to pay these grossly inflated prescription drug prices. Just imagine owning a business where you sell something for 100 times more than it costs to make, and the government guarantees you get paid in full when your customers don’t have the money?
As you will read in this report, pharmaceutical industry greed extends beyond the hundreds of billions of profits guaranteed by your tax dollars. They are also using the government to suppress competition from low-cost dietary supplements by having agencies like the GAO (General Accounting Office) disseminate biased information for the purposes of motivating Congress to pass even more restrictive legislation against what you are allowed to put in your body.
You still have a choice as to whether this country goes the way of North or South Korea. Email your Congressional Representative and two Senators that you will not tolerate them denying your free access to dietary supplements.

Ayn Rand , do you know her, read her!

In 1991, the book-of-the-month club conducted a survey asking people what book had most influenced their lives. The Bible ranked number one and Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged was number two. In 1998, the Modern Library released two lists of the top 100 books of the 20th century. One was compiled from the votes of the Modern Library's Board, consisting of luminaries such as Joyce Carol Oates, Maya Angelou, Edmund Morris, and Salman Rushdie. The two top-ranked books on the Board's list were Ulysses and The Great Gatsby. The other list was based on more than 200,000 votes cast online by anyone who wanted to vote. The top two on that list were Atlas Shrugged (1957) and The Fountainhead (1943). The two novels have had six-figure annual sales for decades, running at a combined 300,000 copies annually during the past ten years. In 2009, Atlas Shrugged alone sold a record 500,000 copies and Rand's four novels combined (the lesser two are We the Living [1936] and Anthem [1938]) sold more than 1,000,000 copies.

Off Shore Drilling

Just wondering, as many boaters know, the ocean has various depths, whether close to shore or even miles off shore.  If we drilled in shallower water, even closer to shore rather than excessive miles out to sea, would we have been able to handle this disaster quicker, and  more efficiently?  Maybe this question should be part of the analysis of the off shore drilling regulations.  I don't claim to know the answers, however, before we shut down the industry with a ban, we should be considering how to avoid this type of accident and if the distance off shore could be taken into account.

The other question is that rather than have the fisherman, and many men who are out of work, just sit there and do nothing, why not use them BP to build even small berms that would contain the oil along the shorelines that have not been touched yet?   People are desparate for jobs, especially in the States that are hit with this pollution.  Again, I am not an expert on this, but in addition to a million dollars BP has given for relief to be doled out, why not provide jobs in the clean up which should be going on now with as many workers as possible.

The Last Song, by Nicholas Sparks

Teenager at home?  This is a must for parents of teens, and also for the teen.  When I was reading this,   I remembered my own 17th year,and how difficult it must have been for my mother, alone,because my Dad died young.  She was with out her husband to guide her through the tough years of raising two children.  We did not scream , we had some disagreements but we worked it out!

My mother was trusting, loving and caring!  I learned from that to give back what she gave me, love, respect and caring for her, as did my brother.   This book is a breath of fresh air for both parents and teens
