Good to hear you made it to DC and everybody is OK.
Congratulations!
There should have been a ticker tape parade to greet you and tens of thousands of people.
Hundreds of thousands of people.
Miles of parade with costumes and horses and police and clowns.
Cowboys and Indians.
The Calvary and Armies.
Guns and Cannons and Motorcycles.
Airplanes and helicopters in the sky and marching bands.
..I expect there were none.
Obama and Michele and the girls, along with Biden and his family, and Holder and his family should have all been there to greet you and asked you to stay over at the white house for a grand celebration and preparedness for a coming week of special meetings and gatherings with the congress and senate and house of representatives.
And then governors from all fifty states.
..I expect there were none.
The world just doesn't know..
Keep up the great work!
Nothing is more important than what you are doing.
The fire will grow.
We are all facing the same thing.
Every single one of us.
T'ill death do us part.
Sugar and carbohydrate addiction.
Sugar and carbohydrate addiction, and alcohol and caffeine and tobacco addiction.
Pharmaceutical addiction.
Marijuana the worst of them all.
Speed.
Nobody knows..
Not a living soul.
Except you, and now me.

My response to a review posted today on Amazon in response to the Katie Couric "FED UP" Documentary about diabetes and obesity and sugar addiction.
It's so obvious that the processed food industry has paid various government officials say things like 'we don't have conclusive evidence that sugary soda drinks are bad for children'. About 80% of American schools sell Coca Cola or Pepsi to kids. Did you know that drinking "100% orange juice" is as bad as drinking a Coke?
1. Tomato sauce contains added refined sugar.
2. Barbecue sauce and ketchup contains added refined sugar.
3. Processed LOW-FAT products contains added refined sugar. (without added sugars, low-fat products taste awful)
4. Salad dressings contains added refined sugar.
It's sad to see that most people still think that animal fats are bad for you - and as a consequence, parents let their children eat toxic ultra-processed and sugar filled breakfast cereals.
---------On to the Socialism-Nanny State part--------------
Yes, it's true that the government has curbed smoking by banning smoking ads, banning smoking in public, demanding that tobacco companies put warning logos on cigarette boxed, etc. It is true that smoking can cause cancer, although the claims are wildly exaggerated. Remember that the "50,000 Americans dying annually from second hand smoke" figure was made up?
Anyway, my point here is not to discuss whether or not smoking is bad for you. I also understand the claim that 'government should crack down on the processed food industry just like it did with the tobacco industry'. After all, a few decades ago, even doctors used to promote cigarettes on ads. I am sure that if the government cracked down on the processed food industry (like the documentary advocates), the results would be mostly positive.
However, do you want to live in a country with such a powerful government who can interfere in your personal life and food choices? Remember that raw milk (which has been used for thousands of years in the West) WAS BANNED BY THE GOVERNMENT IS SOME STATES.
Coca Cola can only advertise their products to you - you don't have to buy those products, you have the freedom to choose. But Big Government can put you in jail and take away your rights. Remember that Communist Big Governments have killed about 150-200 million people in the last 100 years - and no Big Corporations existed back then.
I really don't understand why people like you attack Western Civilization, which has given you so much freedom. Countries like China and Iran censor the internet btw...
You replied with a later post
Sugar and hybrid carbohydrate plant life are stimulant drugs having profound effects on our minds and beings and feelings and senses and our spirits and souls, -- all this besides what they do and the damage they do to our bodies.
Say something..
