Let me have men about me that are fat;
Sleek-headed men and such as sleep o' nights:
Yon Cassius has a lean and hungry look;
He thinks too much: such men are dangerous.

"Good Americans are hefty...."

Ya know, I've seen some BS that is more BS than other BS here on the Mother of All BS. But this BS is the most BS BS I have ever seen, and that is no BS.

GOOD Americans are "hefty." Look at President Taft! Look at President Arthur! For contrast look at President Polk, who started the Mexican War, and President Lincoln, who started the Civil War, and "President" Bush, who started this stuff in Iraq.

Here's most of what it says:

Hello my name is Dr. Don VerHulst, M.D., a Medical Doctor, Naturopathic Health Practioner, and ordained minister. I am blessed to be part of the FaithMeds™ Institute, which strives to develop health ministries all over the world.

Over the years I have worked with hundreds of patients, just like you, who have struggle with personal battles concerning their health. You may have one thing in common with my patients . . . your health problems are NOT YOUR FAULT! Follow me here and I will share with you some important facts that can change your health for the better, for the rest of your life!

Follow Me Here and I will share with you an important medical discovery that can change your health for the better for the rest of your life!

You see, like you, my patients did everything the 'other medical experts' wanted them to do but sadly, they weren't losing the weight long term. It just wasn't working.

That's when I tell my patients that it's time to choose to take personal responsibility for their own health. "Good Health Is A Choice", that you must make for yourself. It is your health and it is your responsibility. No one cares about your health more than you.

The best indication of good health is healthful weight loss. GlucoFree™ is the fastest and safest way to reach that goal that I have ever seen.

Our Standard American Diet (SAD) lacks many necessary primal nutrients. To compensate for this, our research scientists applied God's blue print for optimal health by developing highly effective supplements that help nourish your body as He intended.

We are only as healthy as our individual cells, FaithMeds™ Institute's supplements feed and restore your body, starting at the cellular level.

Due to recent advances in nutraceutical medicine, the choice of good health is now easier to make than ever before. Now we have better, safer alternatives to prescription drugs.

Sticking my head in for a quick hello.

I've been trying to get my computer to do something it isn't programmed to do. Tough thing, that. I bought a movie from Europe that I knew wouldn't play on the DVD player but thought it would play on the computer. Nope. And there are programs that are supposed to help with this, but so far they don't. Idiot film producers, trying to control the marketplace with these idiotic zones, but I bet they'd sell a lot more videos if everyone could see any of them.

Okay, back to work. And to occasional tinkering with the software.

Ergo, Truth as a defense is illusional.

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads
From: Rapparee
Date: 29 Mar 07 - 12:34 PM

The Truth is ALWAYS a valid defense! As Davy Crockett taught me, "Be sure you're right and then go ahead!" The Truth will set me free! Beauty is Truth, Truth Beauty/This is all you know and all you need to know! Truth is the silliest thing under the sun. When truth is nothing but the truth, it's unnatural, it's an abstraction that resembles nothing in the real world. Truth always rests with the minority, and the minority is always stronger than the majority, because the minority is generally formed by those who really have an opinion, while the strength of a majority is illusory, formed by the gangs who have no opinion—and who, therefore, in the next instant (when it is evident that the minority is the stronger) assume its opinion ... while Truth again reverts to a new minority. Truth is always a delusion.

Mom, I haven't posted here in a few hours because I wanted Amos to be able to revel in his achievement. It takes so very little to amuse him, you know, and I wouldn't want to "queer the do" (as the song says). Amos doesn't ask much, I guess -- a crust of moldy bread now and then, some methalated spirits or shaving lotion to wash it down with, underwear that's not been worn continuously for more than three or four weeks -- you know the sort of things he likes.

Yes, I know that he's been a bit of a disappointment to you, but then he's been a disappointment to all of us. So I don't see why we shouldn't let him have his little joys and pleasures.

Poor chap gets so very few of them....
