Wither Freedom?
The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries. W. Churchill...
Except I don't expect those in power will share the misery.
We contend for a nation to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.

"Magic" foods
There seems to me to be a major disorder of thought out there. People think that eating "special" foods will cure all their ills. It's not just the "eat grapefruit" diets, eat protein diets, etc. that I'm thinking of. It's the idea that the quantity doesn't matter. If I eat 90 calories of sugery crap, I'll get fatter than if I eat 100 calories of nutrious fruit. UNTRUE. Calories are calories.
