    Food for thought

    What's behind all that anger Robert Mac? Nothing negative coming from here... I'm all for eating beef. You can be suspect about politicians, but not reporters? There are plenty of reasons that they would cover up Dr. Atkins death. Consider Heath Ledger... Do you think he died of an...

    Daily Dobbs

    Who do we have to blame for all the candidates coming from wealthy families? In fact, you have to have money to end up running for office. Why? Is it the money that makes a candidate "better" than any ordinary Joe? I think people often confuse money with intelligence, hard work, and now good...

    Corporations and Big business

    It's more than that executives deserve to get paid high salaries, retirement, and severences packages. The worst part is that those costs get passed on to us in some way or another. We have to pay more for insurance, oil, computer products, technology, home supplies, or whatever. So I get...

    Food for thought

    Soap, are you saying the article speaks for itself? I already know what that says... Did you read the writer say the heart problem had nothing to do with the diet? And how do they know this? Are you really going to believe that? Here we have the guru of a diet, a medical doctor (like...

    Food for thought

    Well, I don't know where you got your facts... I do know that when Dr. Atkins died (at 72) it was discovered that he had heart problems for several years. The media said he fell and sustained a head injury. From there you can take it any which way you want. As for verifiable statistics on...

    Food for thought

    I think the Atkins diet is hard on the body. It somehow leaves a person feeling full, but not necessarily satisfied. I have seen too many times a person loses 25 pounds on the Atkins diet and then put it right back on. Can't continue to eat like that forever! Dr. Atkins himself died of heart...

    Here's a new idea

    Tex: Very much so. It is a wonder that people are blinded to the need for regulations and/or regulators to help, not hinder. aplusmnt: Thank goodness we all have more time on our hands to wait it out!

    Recession--Depression??

    Anyone with a high school education can interpret the graph to be nonsense. 1. It is not scaled correctly on the bottom. 2. There is no scale on the left. 3. There are no labels as to what the points represent. 4. There are no titles. 5. The colors don't mean anything. What is this all...

    Happy Thanksgiving

    I may not have a BS, don't want one. I have a BA and an MA. I think I'm fairly well educated myself- closer than to a Dr. than he. Glad he has helped with ranchers issues. He should stick to that. Thought you folks could offer Tex some support in his trying time. Perhaps PM him similar...

    More preacher ' stuff'.....

    First, all people all subject to corruption. It's not just the gov't, the charismatic leaders, the CEO's, but every one of us that is subject to corruption and evil-doing. Just because our individual corruptions, small as they may be, aren't bulldozing thousands does not make any one of us any...
