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.
@Foodfascist: Methuselah was an old-testament figure who lived 969 years (CDT).
@Gerald yer probably right about the vinegar, but it won't do that much for your social life.
@harry ashburn, what you say may be true but my fine wine will age for many years before it turns into vinegar.
Here is a true experience. I met a man and his wife at the barber shop. He was 99 years old and his wife was 98 years old. I asked him how did you grow to 99 years and look so good? He said to me that he and his wife take a shot of vinegar every day. He believes it's the vinegar that helps him and his wife.
The study of my body may reveal the fine wine is turning into vinegar but a shot of the research studies on me may become vinegar and people can live into their early 100s. My body may be a combination of fine wine and vinegar to help our world's population to live longer.
I have tried to alert you to the fact that we are destroying our youth through various insidious means. Our youth will develop a kill mentality in time through mind control techniques and operant conditioning.

Thank you Thom for the alert on this practice in a southern state!

@Gerald, eventually wine turns to vinegar. :D
@GEne savory: We all see what we want to see. -helen keller
I am not interested in having my body being some centerfold on the internet. I want my body to help people.
My Body
Someone seems always interested in my body. When I was young, my parents were interested in my body so that I did not have some health problems. In college the baseball coach was interested in my body. In a few years after college my wife became quite interested in my body. Now, as I age like a fine wine, the medical profession is interested in my body. The University of Michigan Medical Center is studying my body for research purposes. Hopefully, the study will yield volumes of information that can be used to help the world’s population.
Methuselah - Extremely long living biblical figure.
@Harry- who is Methuselah - Greek Mythology to me :)
Someone better tell Big Ed that we should modify messaging to predator corporations and or Vampire Monopoly and to Norman Goldman. Mike Malloy already uses the term predator corporations. Listening to Ed now and he is right on Thom's old messaging with just the plain corporations, and Ed delivers that right on MSNBC lol! We need to protect our progressive talkers. There are good corporations out there.....
@LeMoyne, i went metric years ago, for my self-image :D :D
Yay Cedarcrab! The camera adds ten pounds ... and it takes off ten inches, right?
Re: ADHD; My religious fundamentalist aunt has been saying for 50 years that the reason Methuselah and co. lived so long was 'cause there were no toxins in their world.
RE ADHD- did anyone hear CNN report a Candian Study by Jean Claire that there was a significant relationship between pesticides and ADHD?: They even interviewed the researcher who came out and said we need to eat organic fruit and vegetables.
The only way to get universal health care, campaign finance reform, an end to resource driven militarism and so many other things (end to private prisons, illegal employers, etc.) is to amend the Constitution to strip human rights from for-profit corporations. There is no doubt in my mind that the founders intended Constitutional rights for people and definitely not for corporations. The US Constitution was a seminal declaration of human rights.
All of the US and our Constitution need to gain some clarity between the actual citizens - The People, -associations of live people and very different - businesses chartered on paper (associations of capital). People need air, water and food to live. Businesses need capital and profit to survive.
I think an Amendment can be constructed on this issue that reinforces the entire Bill of Rights in a way that it gets agreement from left and right. Most people agree this country is (way) off track now and a solid pro-people amendment could strengthen the spine of the Democrats and break the Republican deadlock or maybe even split that party of no.
The USCG under orders from BP threatened to arrest a CBS film crew.
I think the Coast Guard has their guns pointed the wrong way.
(figuratively speaking, of course.)
@maxrot: thanx, but too late. I lost that in the dot-com bust.
@harry, well if you don't have a face, perhaps I should start the next big social networking page, I'll make millions... it'll be the sister page to face book, I'll call it Asssite. :-)
We can all put up our favorite moon (_)) shots.
N
Caller to Norman Goldman said Germany also charges corporations a 50,000 fine for employing illegal immigrants.
The obvious question about wolf pack attacks on national financial system: why is this not an act of war by non-state actors?
While Al Qaeda and their crazy crew may be motivated by ideology, the wolf packs' motivation of profit is but little different. Will Greece borrow Predator drones from its NATO ally the USA to take out the leadership of the group attacking it?
Dear cedarcrab, is "Chatroulette" a street in New Orleans?
"I have opinions of my own, strong opinions, but I don't always agree with them." george w. bush
In the 19th century people recognized a clear conflict of interest in being allowed to take out a life insurance policy on a person without that person's knowledge. It became illegal.
When you see a nekkid man on Chatroulette just point, laugh and say, "That looks just like a penis only smaller."
THX for the Change in terminology from corporate America to Vampire Monopoly and perhaps to Predator Corporations. These are criminals that create crimes. It makes us feel that we can do something about it. Just like terrorism- who can stop terrorism- but we can stop the crimes committed by the terrorists. We may even get some good corporations on our side.
@MAxrot re; #48: I tried to enter facebook but they require a face.
