I have a question. Is not corn syrup better for you than surcrose? Is it not high fructose corn syrup the culprit? Is it not the bonding of the dextrose and sucrose molecules in high fructose corn syrup a occurence that does not exist in nature? I have not had chemistry in 46 years, so I may have forgot something (lol).

Our nation is a disaster, a total disaster. The above article is from one of my favorite writers.
Most of you are aware that I am 70 years old. At 70 I should be more idealistic but as I observe our failed nation I am both realistic and pessismistic. I await the self-implosion of our fascist-Nazi America. My retirement years are not very enjoyable because the hatred, corruption, and lies are endless in our nation that is wallowing in the abyss of hell.

Paul Craig Roberts is a Republican but he is an objective American writer. Please read his above article very carefully!

I wish to thank you for your comments that seem to understand my plight as an American. I consider myself a patriotic American but I can rub people against the grain at times, probably more often than not.

Here is a psycho with his psycho talk, endless psycho talk.

Cheney has received the "Keeper of the Flame Award." Whenever I hear rhe word flame in politics, I think of the eternal flame in hell. I do not wish for anyone to be the eternal keeper of the flame in hell but the lusting for human blood in the killing of God's children is one way to be the eternal keeper of the flame in hell.

Whether it is in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq or even in the U.S., as we’ve seen in recent years, war takes its heaviest toll on the poorest. It is a profound mistake to believe that military force is a solid foundation for peace.
People, I OPPOSE WAR!!! War creates more problems than they resolve problems. WAR IS OUTMODED!!! Only mature persons can understanding what I am saying. If wars resolve problems, why do we still have wars???
Thom's Blog Is On the Move
By webmaster
Hello All
Thom's blog in this space and moving to a new home.
Please follow us across to hartmannreport.com - this will be the only place going forward to read Thom's blog posts and articles.
Images of Thom
At Mondragon - both the mountain and the cooperative city - in Spain (written about in "Threshold" book)
From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
From Cracking the Code:
"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."
DDay,
You already know what makes Stephanie "tick." You're very perceptiive. I really WOULD be telling tales out of school. Just be content that they really would just reinforce what you already know...
I'm sorry, DDay. (More than once I've mentioned things on this blog which I typed before I could stop myself... "diarrhea" fingers, I guess. LOL)
