Jim, Cut &Paste from Wednesday:Vaclav Havel's address to the US congress, February 21, 1990: "The Soviet Union . . . was a country that rightly gave people nightmares."Noam Chomsky, February 1990: "I have in mind what I consider is 1 from the most illuminating examples from the total and complete intellectual and moral corruption of Western culture, namely the awed response to Vaclav Havel's embarrassingly silly and morally repugnant
Sunday school sermon in congress the other day It truly is also unnecessary to level out .
. . that in comparison to the conditions imposed by US tyranny and violence, East Europe under Russian rule was practically a paradise.
"Christopher Hitchens on Noam Chomsky in Slate magazine May 2011 after the death of Osama bin Laden:"In
short, we tend not to know who organized the attacks of
Sept. 11, 2001, or any other related assaults, even though it would be
a credulous fool who swallowed the (unsupported) word of Osama Bin Laden that his
group was the 1 responsible. An attempt to kidnap or murder an ex-president of the United States (and presumably, by extension, the sitting one) will be
as legally justified as the hit on Abbottabad. And America is an
incarnation on the Third Reich that doesn't even conceal its genocidal methods and aspirations. This is the sum total of what has been learned, by the guru in the remaining, within the last decade."

I take advantage of gloves for peppers and onions.
Sometimes I even using swim goggles when undertaking peppers.
This may possibly sound crazy, but my eyes are actually sensitive to jalapenos.
It functions wonderful!

Appropriate following he was born, I worked out 3 times per week at Energy
