On Evolutionary Fitness and Real Health

I have debated all summer and fall whether or not I would compete in a couple of bodybuilding contests for 2008. There are several cons, but mostly, the time constraints and my job responsibility and stress would serverely limit my ability to add “another goal” or endure a 12-week pre-contest diet. I already spend a [...]

“A Nation Divided?”….

Wednesday, November 14, 2007 20:40 Comments Off

…is what flashed on the screen in front of Glenn Beck’s crazed, anti-Ron Paul rant. A nation divided between the war-loving, powermongering, establishment plunderers and peaceful people who are tired of being looted and jack-booted and forced to endure theft, prison, slavery, and sacrifice?
