Q & A

Should fattening foods be taxed like tobacco?

A big fat NO!
Soon, our toes, our tongues, our eyeballs, and our belly button lint will be taxed.
Where will it ever END?
Well, that will be taxed too.
In fact, I believe it's being taxed [off] right now.


What’s behind the steep drop in President Obama’s approval rating in the past several weeks?

Citizens are fickle, finicky, and feisty.
Obama has had a lot "on his plate", and the jokes about him being a "messiah" haven't helped.
Americans probably expect too much too soon.
The rise and fall of approval is like the rise and fall of tides, and will forever occur as long as there is life on this planet.
One thing for sure, Obama's popularity will fall even more if the economy is not improved after one year, and then, look out, here come the Republicans!


Are you more or less concerned about global warming than you were a year ago?

I am more concerned.
I am also concerned about those who still contend that Global Warming is not occurring, or that man is not one of its main causes.
Look at the temperatures occurring today in Oregon and Washington State.
Sure, this might be only an aberrant or cyclical occurrence, but what if it isn't?
And what about the recent news that thousands of Pacific islanders will need to relocate in the near future because of rising tides?
Self-denial will not remove the inconvenient truth of Global Warming.
