That I don't trust big chemical companies does not mean I do trust the government, nor did I say I want to avoid GMOs - you're making assumptions that aren't warranted. Like the legislator in the link, the fact is that I don't know much about GMOs - but that doesn't mean I reject them without...

No snow in southern Ky, but it's raining, and I'm pretty sure it will be ice soon. Ice scares me. [Unless it's in a glass!] ;)

My only comment was to applaud the legislator who seriously put some effort into learning about a subject, so I think the "BULL HOCKEY!" reply was unwarranted. And what, exactly, am I supposed to "get over"?:confused:

That's because cross breeding is NOT the same thing as genetic modifications. Crossbreeding can only produce the qualities that already exist in one parent or the other [barring mutations, which are unpredictable]. Genetic mods can introduce something that wasn't there before [ie: resistance to...

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/05/us/on-hawaii-a-lonely-quest-for-facts-about-gmos.html?pagewanted=6&google_editors_picks=true Hats off to one legislator who tries to do the job he was elected to do! It's a tough job, when done correctly.

Almost all 'reality' shows are inherently fake, to some degree, because they are edited, rather than shown in real time. [That would be boring!] What is left out [or scripted] can change what actually happened to something that looks very different - but Linder said the producers would like to...

Why what? I said it could be a good thing, like Ice Road Truckers, as in mostly honest. Not making truckers look wild [That WV show] or tacky [Honey BooBoo] or both [Jersey Shore]. I don't see a question....

The receptors for opiates are the mu receptors. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter, [like hormones], not a receptor itself.

It wouldn't be boring! And boring is, in any media, the kiss of death. I trust Linder Caffee's instincts, so I'd say it could be a good thing, like Ice Road Truckers. They showed the reality, mostly: neither too grubby nor glamorous, it was pretty honest, for a 'reality' show. I wouldn't get a...

Pot was given the title back in the days of 'Reefer Madness' [hilarious movie, if you've never seen it], because it was seen as a dangerous drug. We know now that it isn't, [except to waistlines and 'to do' lists, mainly], but the title and perception remain. My point is that the gateway lies in...

I had a PO box for awhile, but it doesn't work for package deliveries, [I order things online], and it was always full of 'junk' mail. I now have a trusted family member collect my mail & packages, and that works well.

I'm not neither one of these guys: cheri1122.jpg photo - Danny Pearce photos at pbase.com What a goofy idea - wonder why I never thought of it, lol.

Thanks, Steve - I know you would have. I just figured you need your beauty sleep, and I need the exercise, lol. Seriously, I probably wouldn't have mentioned it, but sometimes, we forget to let 'wannabees' in on the occasional downside of driving, and I think they should hear that, too. It's not...

True. On my last load, I blew a coolant hose just before midnight, just north of Columbus, Oh. First call was to dispatch, and their first question was "Do you need us to locate roadside assist?" I really appreciated that - most would ask first whether it would affect my delivery time, as if...

Whether the source is "biased" or not has zero to do with the facts, and you didn't dispute any of the facts. My own experience with alcohol has not been a gateway to anything [except the desire to sing at karaoke] which seems to be true for millions of others, so, gateway to what?

People who want a 'better' or 'higher' high either find some better pot, or they're just smoking pot for lack of access to something that will provide the high they want. What I'm saying is that smoking pot does not cause a desire for other, more powerful drugs. That's what the gateway theory...

Read the first paragraph of the essay by William Deresiewicz [cited in the OP], cause he's describing you, and he's calling you a liberal, lol. Those who wear a military uniform [and some of them are family members I happen to love] deserve thanks and appreciation - same as the firefighters and...

The stupidity is in a system that imprisons people and ruins their lives for a private behavior that causes harm to no one else. Unlike, say, alcohol, where those who imbibe can subsequently kill people by driving, [and they do, with horrifying regularity], and never see the inside of a cell...

To the end called knowledge, goober. When I read something that differs from what I believe, I like to find out whether what I thought I knew is wrong - sometimes, it is. Sometimes, what I 'know' has been superseded by new info that I wasn't aware of, and sometimes, it was wrong even when I...
