Capitalism - Feudalism without the Kings
Tax the Rich
Website Wednesday
Apparently, Rick Santorum won the latest three Republican primaries/caucuses/whatever. I can't believe the money masters of the Republican party will allow him to be the candidate however. (But, you say, look at Reagan, he was a conservative. No, Reagan ran on the platform which won. He was never a true believer. Note: Reagan was also a lousy president.) The real Republican party (I love me that capitalism with all the tax breaks I can get.) knows it can't win with Santorum; not on the national level. It would be interesting to see Obama vs. Santorum bout though. Santorum would spout his absolutely insane beliefs on everything: government, women, sex, probably even little puppies and Obama would move more and more to the right as seems to be his doctrine of governance: meet the enemy and arrange a golf game.
But enough grousing, go to http://www.peachygreen.com/ and read about the good people are doing to save the planet: We’re here to tell you that amazing things are happening right where you live and all over the world, which make the earth a kinder, cleaner place. It’s time to put aside the doom and gloom and think positively about the people places and things that are making the world Peachy Green.
I know I don't believe the world is doing enough to save the planet and I haven't dug deeply enough to find the sponsors of this site; but there are good ideas here for going green and that can't be bad. That is, as long as you don't come away from the site believing just buying recycled goods, etc. will turn around climate change. But it is a start.
Then there is: http://www.twofoods.com/ where you compare two foods and get the calories and nutritional value of each. Yes, I plugged in apples and oranges and they are both very good for you. Then I plugged in dinner roll and doughnut. and all the types of rolls they showed were at least 100 calories less than the doughnut and had more than 3xs less fat. A bagel is a much better choice. However, a cinnamon raisin popped up with 273 calories while a multi grain bagel appeared with 2379 calories. I think some data entry person skipped a decimal.
These are fun sites. Be sure to click "Wildlife" in Peachy Green; adorable animals abound.
See you next week.
