For your health,
Eat This Daily. Slash Heart Disease Risk
By doing nothing more than eating three apples a day, several slices of whole wheat bread, or a side dish of broccoli, you will significantly cut your risk of death from heart disease, according to a pooling of the results of 10 scientific studies conducted in the United States and Europe on more than 330,000 men and women, reports Reuters. Specifically, you need 10 grams of dietary fiber a day. One apple contains 3 grams of fiber, whole wheat bread has 1.5 grams, and a stalk of broccoli has 2.7 grams. Plan your grocery shopping list accordingly.

Deu 29:18 Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from, the LORD our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;
Deu 29:19 And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:
Deu 29:20 The LORD will not spare him, but then the anger of the LORD and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the LORD shall blot out his name from under, heaven.
Deu 29:21 And the LORD shall separate him unto evil out of all, the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the law:
Deu 29:22 So that the generation to come of your children that shall rise up after, you, and the stranger that shall come from a far land,, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which the LORD hath laid upon it;
Deu 29:23 And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:
Deu 29:24 Even all nations shall say, Wherefore, hath the LORD done thus unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger?
Deu 29:25 Then men shall say, Because, they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD God of their fathers,1 which he made with them when he brought them forth, out of the land, of Egypt:
Deu 29:26 For they went and served other gods, and worshiped them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not3808 given unto them:
Deu 29:27 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book:
Deu 29:28 And the LORD rooted them out of, their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.
Deu 29:29 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children forever,, that we may do all the words of this law.
Take heed U.S. lest this nation befall a similar fate.

Here's a great joke courtesy of Keep and Bear Arms,
Democrat vs. Republican
From the mouths of babes...
A first grade teacher explains to her class that she is a liberal Democrat. She asks her students to raise their hands if they were liberal Democrats too. Not really knowing what a liberal Democrat was but wanting to be like their teacher, their hands explode into the air like fleshy fireworks.
There is, however, one exception. A girl named Lucy did not go along with the crowd. The teacher asks her why she decided to be different.
"Because I'm not a liberal Democrat." Then, asks the teacher, what are you?
"Why I'm a proud conservative Republican," boasts the little girl.
The teacher is a little perturbed now, her face slightly red. She asks Lucy why she is a conservative Republican.
"Well, I was brought up to trust in myself instead of relying on an intrusive government to care for me and do all of my thinking. My Dad and Mom are conservative Republicans, and I am a conservative Republican too."
The teacher is now angry. "That's no reason," she says loudly. "What if your Mom was a moron, and your dad was a moron. What would you be then?"
A pause, and a smile. "Then," says Lucy, "I'd be a liberal Democrat.

I am againts homosexuality.
I find in the bible that what's in the bedroom stays in the bedroom.
The Spartan's were gay. There wonderful society never came about. They threw the old and infirmed the handicapped the mentally tormented and anyone that didn't meet thier expectations of a perfect human specimen off a cliff (by the way Hitler admired the Spartans for that). They conquered a neighboring city state so they could have slaves to do their farming for them. They threw their young boys out in the wilderness to live or die until they were twelve then they gave them to a mentor (which was expected they would have a gay relationship with). They enticed their young girls into lesbianism(again at the age of twelve).
So homosexual's here's your legacy under the original birthplace of democracy.
Homosexuality is an abomination before God *( Lev 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind,2145 as with4904 womankind:802 it1931 is abomination.8441) and if you people think that God will let this nation prosper with such evil acts going on think again.

Al I don't know if you realize it or not but I have been going over some of the very first of your archives and I think that you do have a book there.
Its is around philosphies that systems are built.
I think in this case it may help clarify the economic philosophy that we here in america try to embody and people seem to have forgotten.
