not be said on television. To this those ‘words’ are bleeped’ on TV and
relegated to cable shows or movies.<br />But, unlike sticks and stones, words cannot harm us,
unless strung together into hate phrases meant to incite riots.<br />Our cherished 1<sup>st</sup> Amendment preaches that.<br />So, should books be banned?<br />We rate movies as fit for certain age groups but allow
parents to be the ultimate deciders.<br />What about schoolbooks?<br />Take Isaac Newton sitting under a tree and an apple
supposedly falls on his head leading him to discover gravity and write about it
in his 1687 “Philosophy Naturalis Principia Mathematica”?<br />At the time this was a radical idea.<br />If he was shunned as a heretic and the book banned, then
what of all the discoveries based thereon?<br />Where would be today?<br />Well, for one thing we would not be on the moon, or mars,
or even, perhaps in the air!<br />Did George Washington cut down that cherry tree?<br />Was there a race massacre in Tulsa Oklahoma in 1921?<br />One of those two is true, yet the false one is in history
books and celebrated in folklore.<br />What terrible harm could there be from teaching both
events as they really were?<br />An old western trope states that when
the legend becomes fact, print the legend.<br />But in an educated society the legend must be noted with
an asterisk directing the reader to a footnote explaining the difference.<br />We live in a time when many believe the moon landing was
faked, the Earth is flat, and a Jewish rabbi, born in the middle east over
2,000 years ago, was white, had blond hair and blue eyes!<br />Events that are happening today are already being ignored
and stricken from history books.<br />If we continue down this road of ignorance how long before
we have to deal with versions of Orwell’s Ministry of Truth in our daily
lives?<br />It has been said that those who ignore history are doomed
to repeat it.<br />But if we allow censorship to keep our children from
learning about history, good or bad, we’re all doomed!</span></h4><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p></o:p></p>

A friend, neighbor, or relative may spot it and comment, "You must be so proud."</span></p><p><span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: verdana; font-size: x-large;">And truth be told, the parent does feel a bit of pride, even if the item on display is not a Rembrandt or a piece of paper studded with "A"s.</span></p><p><span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: verdana; font-size: x-large;">After all, it represents the culmination, or at least the beginning of the journey toward what the parent had dreamed of for their child.</span></p><p><span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: verdana; font-size: x-large;">The parent, as mentor, has tried to point the offspring in the desired direction his or her entire life, and can now start to see the budding of their bidding, the fruits of their unselfish labor.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #0c343d;">I wonder if the refrigerator in Mitch McConnell's home, or Ted Abbott's kitchen will display the achievements of the nurtured </span><a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/school-massacre-continues-texas-grim-run-mass-shootings-84958539" target="_blank"><span style="color: #660000;"><b>murderer of children in Uvalde, TX</b></span></a><span style="color: #0c343d;"> this week.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: verdana; font-size: x-large;">Will the headlines replace those of the deranged killer in a Texas church, or a Walmart?</span></p><p><span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: verdana; font-size: x-large;">Or will the photos of the grieving parents be tacked onto the appliance alongside the current massacre, leaving space for the next one, and the one after that, and on and on.</span></p><p><span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: verdana; font-size: x-large;">It is way past time for the Repub party to join the overwhelming majority of humans across America in their desire to end these senseless attacks on innocent men, women, and of course, children!</span></p><p><span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: verdana; font-size: x-large;">Take the bill, passed by the Democratic majority in the House, out of the freezer and place it on the table to be voted on!</span></p><p><span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: verdana; font-size: x-large;">Let the public see who is on the side of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, without fear of being gunned down in a movie theater, a church, a high school, or an elementary school, and which political party is, instead, in the pocket of the NRA!</span></p><p><span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: verdana; font-size: x-large;">Thoughts and prayers are not a substitute for seeing one's child grow up, get married, have children, and buy a house with a refrigerator upon which they can post wonderful works of art that rival a Picasso!</span></p>Reschzoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04554054134794211702noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4569871318191484217.post-18957984829420282222022-05-10T10:27:00.003-04:002022-05-10T10:27:53.074-04:00WHAT DO YOU MEAN "WE" WHITE MAN?<p><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">Why does the US Constitution say, “We the people…” when the
document really means “We, the white land-owning men…”?</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">You would have to get in your time machine, don your time
appropriate garments and head back to 1775 Philadelphia for the answer.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">Of course, the real answer lies many years, if not centuries
or even millennia earlier when the ‘weaker sex’ relied on men to bring home
the bacon, a beaver, or a buffalo and provide safety.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">But before you make like Anne Boleyn, let me assure you this
will not be a very long history lesson on the minority rule of men. It will
merely be a roundabout way of showing that while ‘the squeaky wheel gets the
oil’, ‘might makes right’ is still the rule.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">There are several more aphorisms that could be used but
after a while they may take the reader’s attention away from my purpose, so I’ll
stop before it’s too late, and strike while the iron is hot!</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #20124d;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">(Sorry, I couldn't resist.)</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">In law there is something called, ‘Adverse Possession’ which
is generally used with regards to land ownership, but I will stretch it’s use a
bit here for reasons which will become painfully clear.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">Adverse possession states that if someone owns, or claims to
own, or has in his possession, that which he was not originally entitled to,
for a prolonged period, without dispute by the original owner, then ownership
is given to the usurper.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">The idea and practice comes from England, which just so
happens to be where the United States came from.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">So, where does adverse possession fit into the argument about
“We the people”?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">White, land-owning men have seemingly owned all other groups
of human beings in America ever since arriving here from England, so, QED.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">And since the above has only been disputed a handful of
times, albeit successfully, the rule still stands and can be reinstated at any
time!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #20124d;">Two such successful disputes involved 'squeaky-wheel' suffragettes, and equally 'squeaky-wheeled' African
Americans </span><span style="color: #20124d;">marching</span><span style="color: #20124d;"> for</span><span style="color: #20124d;"> </span><span style="color: #20124d;">Civil Rights</span><span style="color: #20124d;">.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">However, it now seems that the people noted in the Constitutionally
cited, “We the People”, have decided that enough is enough.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">They have started to
rescind the hard-fought for and won rights of decades past.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">Well, not all the “We the People´ have decided the above.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">A mere five to four simple-minded; single-minded, simple
majority on the Supreme Court of the United States is simply about to do so.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">With a stroke of their conservative pen, those five
individuals will strike down the first right from a list they should hold sacrosanct; that
of women being allowed to control their own bodies.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">The archaic reason is, after all, they have been possessions
of white men since before this Nation even began and were merely on loan to themselves.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">And once “We the People” have taken care of women’s health
issues, their right to vote against their husband’s wishes could be next.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">Rescinding the rights of those they consider inferior sects of
our citizenry will follow, as all the dominoes will topple, and America will
finally be ‘taken back’.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">But no time machine is needed to stop that which would
appear to be inevitable.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">No new revolutionary war, or civil war be started, or rather
continued.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">The first shot heard round the world has been fired.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">Now is the time for all good “We the People" - "All the People” to stand
up and be heard before their voices are, like Poe’s Raven said, heard NEVERMORE!

font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">Why does the U S Constitution say, “We the people…” when the
document really means “We the white land-owning men…”?</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">You would have to get in your time machine, don your time
appropriate garments and head back to 1775 Philadelphia for the answer.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">Of course, the real answer lies many years, if not centuries
or even millennia earlier when the ‘weaker sex’ relied on the men to bring home
the bacon, a beaver, or a buffalo and provide safety.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">But before you make like Anne Boleyn, let me assure you this
will not be a very long history lesson on the minority rule of men. It will
merely be a roundabout way of showing that while ‘the squeaky wheel gets the
oil’, ‘might makes right’ is the rule.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">There are several more aphorisms that could be used but
after a while they may take the reader’s attention away from my purpose, so I’ll
stop before it’s too late, and strike while the iron is hot!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">In law there is something called, ‘Adverse Possession’ which
is generally used with regards to land ownership, but I will stretch it’s use a
bit here for reasons which will become painfully clear.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">Adverse possession states that if someone owns, or claims to
own, or has in his possession, that which he was not originally entitled to,
for a prolonged period, without dispute by the original owner, then ownership
is given to the usurper.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">The idea and practice comes from England, which just so
happens to be where the United States came from.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">So, where does adverse possession fit into the argument about
“We the people”?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">White, land-owning men have seemingly owned all other groups
of human beings in America ever since arriving here from England. QED!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">And since the above has only been disputed a handful of
times, albeit successfully, the rule still stands and can be reinstituted at any
time!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">Two such successful disputes involve squeaky-wheel
suffragettes, and equally squeaky-wheeled Civil Rights marching African
Americans.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">However, it now seems that the people noted in the Constitutionally
cited, “We the People”, have decided that enough is enough and have started to
rescind the hard-fought for rights of decades past.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">Well, not all the “We the People´ have decided the above.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">A mere five to four simple-minded; single-minded, simple
majority on the Supreme Court of the United States is simply about to do so.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">With a stroke of their conservative pen, those five
individuals will strike down the first right from a list they hold sacrosanct; that
of women being allowed to control their own bodies.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">The archaic reason is, after all, they have been possessions
of white men since before this Nation even began and were merely on loan.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">And once “We the People” have taken care of women’s health
issues, their right to vote against their husband’s wishes could be next.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">Rescinding the rights of those they consider inferior sects of
our citizenry will follow, as all the dominoes will topple and America will
finally be ‘taken back’.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">But no time machine is needed to stop that which would
appear to be inevitable.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">No new revolutionary war, or civil war be started, or rather
continued.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">The first shot heard round the world has been fired.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">Now is the time for all good “We - All the People” to stand
up and be heard before their voices are heard, like Poe’s Raven said, nevermore!

If not, hurry and do so before it is banned.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">"Animal Farm" teaches us that while all men (creatures) are created equal, some are more equal than others!</span></p><p><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">Perhaps Mr. Orwell was alluding to America's valuation of the African slave population of the late 1700's and 1800's who were ruled to be worth only <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-fifths_Compromise" target="_blank"><b style="background-color: #ffe599;">three fifths</b></a> of a person.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times;">This ended, although it still exists in practice today, to a degree, when the North defeated their brethren in the South and </span><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times;">the 14th amendment to the Constitution was ratified. It explicitly repealed the 'non-equal' status of the former slave.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times;">However, the action of repealing the 3/5 compromise caused a reaction that led to the </span><a href="https://www.history.com/topics/early-20th-century-us/jim-crow-laws" style="font-family: times;" target="_blank"><b style="background-color: #ffe599;">Jim Crow Laws</b></a><span style="color: #20124d;

font-family: times;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">And the crack really widened with the Supreme Court's 1954 ruling in <a href="https://www.history.com/topics/black-history/brown-v-board-of-education-of-topeka" target="_blank"><b style="background-color: #ffe599;">Brown v Board of Education</b></a>.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #20124d;

font-family: times;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Each of those acts caused reactions felt to this day.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">The next war front emerged for all to see and hear, when women decided they needed to be treated as equal to men and started stating this out loud, very loud in the early 1900's.</span></p><p><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">Starting just after the Civil War when African American men were given the right to vote by the <a href="https://www.history.com/topics/black-history/fifteenth-amendment" target="_blank"><b style="background-color: #ffe599;">15th amendment</b></a>, the women's suffrage movement began.</span></p><p><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">Once again, the action of ONLY ensuring men a new right caused women to react in a wave that extended into the 20th century.</span></p><p><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">The <a href="https://www.history.com/topics/womens-history/19th-amendment-1" target="_blank"><b style="background-color: #ffe599;">19th amendment</b></a>, written up in 1919 but not ratified until 1920, finally allowed women the right to vote.</span></p><p><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">While all the above rights were won after long dangerous and deadly fights, their continuation has been under attack since inception.</span></p><p><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">They require diligence and vigilance to ensure their lasting effect on the lives of all Americans.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times;">But just as George Orwell warned of dangers and potholes in the road to a free and fair Democracy, so too does</span><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times;"> Margaret Atwood in her cautionary "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Handmaid%27s_Tale" target="_blank"><b style="background-color: #ffe599;">The Handmaid's Tale</b></a>".</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">In America we control our bodies.</span></p><p><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">Our laws protect others from harm we might inflict, or attempt to inflict, on others.</span></p><p><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">But for some reason this seemingly simple principle does not extend to our elected officials!</span></p><p><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">It was not until 1973, 49 years ago, that women were finally granted the legal right to control their own bodies with regards to that uniquely feminine act of childbirth.</span></p><p><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">That was the year the Supreme Court of the United States of America ratified into law the legalization across the land of the procedure known as abortion.</span></p><p><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">Commonly called <a href="https://www.history.com/topics/womens-rights/roe-v-wade" target="_blank"><b style="background-color: #ffe599;">Roe v Wade</b></a> this law finally freed females from back-alley abortions and the use of hangers in a grotesque and dangerous way.</span></p><p><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">This right and the action of granting it to women caused the immediate reaction from a large group of hypocritical men, and sadly some self-disrespecting women, who call themselves Evangelicals.</span></p><p><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">Together with their allies of the radical right, they have been plotting, fighting, complaining, and chipping away at this settled law, ever since day one of its existence.</span></p><p><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">Little by little they found footholds in the Repub Party, which basically had nothing with regards to moving America forward since the 1980's.</span></p><p><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">They kept proposing bills in State legislatures across the country with a dual desire to please their so-called righteous base and keep or gain local power.</span></p><p><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">Finally, through a conglomeration of strange and dangerous liaisons, foreign and domestic, they were able to find and ensure the promotion to the Presidency of a puppet with absolutely no moral compass and no desire to help anyone but himself, his friends and his family gather and hide wealth.</span></p><p><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">While this minority elected, twice impeached president presided over the land, the final three nails in the coffin of justice were appointed as Justices to sit for life on The Supreme Court of America. </span><span style="color: #20124d;

font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">Will this finally be the act that causes the reaction necessary to save our Democracy?</span></p><p><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">Don't just wring your hands, maidens, YELL, SCREAM, REACT.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #20124d;

magician can get the crowd to look to the left while he does something on the right
he’s ahead of the game.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">The republican party has become masters of the magical
world of deflection in that they are constantly getting the public to blame the
‘left’ for things they have done and continue to do on the ‘right’!</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">Just like
most magic tricks, once you know how it’s done the mystery is gone, along with the
thrill.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">A true magician must continually tweak his act in order to remain
mysterious and popular.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">Information overload is also a good method of deflecting
awareness of what is really going on.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">A perfect example is ‘The Three Ring
Circus'.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: georgia;">You may or may not love the flying trapeze act in the center ring, but
you will not be bored</span><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: georgia;"> because the clowns in ring number one have the crowd
rolling in the aisles.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">And look to your left where the beautiful blonde lady is
standing on her horse while it races around the third ring!</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">But sitting just behind
the curtain on the right are the architects of the ‘entertainment’.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Armed with
their algorithms and pollsters they gather information on what works and what
needs more work to work. And they devise insidious questions aimed at getting what they want to work, to work.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Comedians know that a guy getting hit with a cream pie
or walking into a pole might not draw a laugh.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">BUT if there's another guy watching the pie fly or the nose meet the pole, it's the look on the second guy's face that gets you to laugh.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">That’s why Fox’s Carlson has made a career on right wing television.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">His absurdly fake dumbfounded ‘How can this be happening’ look works
on his mesmerized viewers as they suspend all logic and react with whatever emotion he is
trying to elicit.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">And he tweaks his act by setting up the center ring of shame
by asking absurd questions that imply the obvious guilt of the subject in today's crosshairs.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">He will ask a guest, or planted clown, “How do you feel about crime being
up under the Biden administration?”</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Invariably the answer that was preplanned is
accompanied by the now infamous Carlson ‘open-mouthed’ stare of disbelief.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">And Tuck's ridiculous act has been so successful that those in Congress with nothing constructive of their own have adopted and adapted the tactic.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">When
Ted Cruz and the rest of the clowns on the right used Tucker’s fake dismay to
falsely accuse and ‘diss’ Supreme Court justice nominee, Ketanji Brown Jackson,
they were playing to <b>their </b>audience.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">When they asked if she thought babies were
racist, or ‘Can you define what a woman is’, they were hoping to taint her with
the same undeserved guilt as one would paint a married man with by asking him, “When
did you stop beating your wife?”</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">And naturally the answer does not matter since the question itself has already elicited the desired effect. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">And their 'base' loves it!</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">These tactics are not new.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">They have been used
by con-artists, grifters and flim-flam men for ages.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">The latest and most obvious example was recently voted out of the White House after he lost the popular vote for the second time.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">But because the tactics seem to
work on enough voters, who have little or no desire to do their own research,
the lack of veracity of the implications cause enough of a negative stain on the recipient to attain their desired end result.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">And when the questioner uses a disgusted look, he seals the deal.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">The ‘right’
stopped being right for most of America when they stopped caring about America
and started realizing they could win by deflecting.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Gas prices are up?</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Look who’s
in power!</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Milk costs more?</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Blame Biden (Or Obama, or Clinton,
random Democrat in your district.)</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">“We did not cause any of the inflation that’s
hurting your bottom line because we are not in power. But if you vote for us,
we can clean up the mess”.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Does the above sound familiar?</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">It should.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">It is the 'lather - rinse - repeat' tactic used by the GOP every time a Democrat is in power.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">The republican party blocks everything
the Democrats try to get done and when the pain of nothing getting

WHOSE HERITAGE??<h3 style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #783f04;">I
received another of my daily emails (sometimes 4 or 5 a day) from the
hypocritically named Heritage Foundation warning me of the 'left's' socialist
agenda.</span></span></h3><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #783f04;"><br /></span></span></div><h3 style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #783f04;">This
group of wealthy individuals who make believe they care only about America's
integrity desires to defend it from the evil of social change.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #783f04;">They
are constantly stoking fear and hate while asking for money to continue the
fight.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #660000;"><u>The

the Oscars to thank for it.</span><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><br /></span><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">When Will Smith slapped Chris Rock during the Oscars the
event was seen around the World.</span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">Comments were fast and furious across all social media sites.</span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">Some took Will’s side; others took Chris’ side and most couldn’t
have cared less.</span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">But ‘Slapgate’ should have started, or restarted, a debate on
the role of censorship in America.</span></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">We have lived with the puritan rules for so long that many
did not even question ABC’s decision to cut the audio portion of the 3 or 4
second altercation.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">Had they not done so American television viewers would have
been subjected to bad words.</span><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">Oh the humanity!</span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">By the way, no other country cut the audio!<br /></span><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">If you listen closely, you will hear George Carlin laughing
hysterically in his grave.</span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">No one can blame ABC for their move since federal rules
prohibit the broadcasting of obscene indecent and profane content on radio or
TV.</span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">The words in the statute are known to every living soul on
the planet and have been used by every living soul on the planet, including the
people who wrote the statute in the first place.</span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">And if one is to say that we are protecting our children by
hiding those words from them I would point to book bans and note they increased
sales of the targeted items.</span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">Banning anything makes the desire for it that much stronger
just as surely as absence makes the heart grow fonder!</span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">In America we have banned prostitution because it is dirty
and can spread disease.</span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">It is also controlled by ‘the mob’ whoever they are,
and we must try to cut off their funds.</span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">In Amsterdam they chose a different route to control ‘the
oldest profession,’ Red Light Districts.</span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">If that particular activity tickles your fancy, you can have
your fanny tickled, or whatever the two of you decide, in the privacy of a
clean controlled environment. (And by the way, it is taxed so the government takes on the role of pimp, if you will.)</span></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><span><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">There are also Red-Light District Tours which “Tripadvisor”
gives a 4.5 out of 5 rating!</span></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><span><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">We also have a higher rate of incarcerating drug users than most
other civilized countries in the world.</span></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><span><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Countries such as Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway,
Spain and Switzerland all operate overdose-prevention centers where lives
are routinely saved.</span></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><span><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">New York City proudly operates its own center where it saved
averted at least 59 overdoses in its first 3 months of operation!</span></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><span><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">But for the most part we imprison drug users and in the end
society is not truly served.</span></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><span><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Many will end up using again and eventually die.</span></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><span><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Instead of facing the problem appear to choose the east way
out.</span></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><span><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">The sooner they die, the better for the living. </span></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><span><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">But it is not true, nor is it humane, especially when there
are proven ways to help drug users ‘kick the habit!’</span></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><span><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">If we really wanted to censor obscenities we would go after the
gun massacres that take the lives of innocent men, women, and children.</span></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><span><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">But we choose to offer thoughts and prayers rather than ideas
and action.</span></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><span><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">We say, “It is too soon to discuss gun violence,” or “It is not the
right time to talk about gun control.”</span></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">And more people die.</span></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><span><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">That is the real obscenity in America, not curse words!</span></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><span><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Reality!</span></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><span><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Yes, Will did slap Chris.</span></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><span><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Yes, Chris did react by saying, “He slapped the shit out of

slid into the alley to ‘shoot up.’</span></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">And no man, woman, or child was killed! </span></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><span><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">But thankfully Americans across the country were spared the awful audible life-shattering verbal attack between two men in tuxedoes in the Shrine Auditorium

That's why there are elections and horse races, etc.</span></p><p><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">Should one buy a hybrid or an electric car?</span></p><p><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">You could say that in the face of man-made climate change, using less polluting fossil fuels would seem a no-brainer. But, for various reasons, not everyone can. For example, businesses that haul heavy loads over very long distances would find it hard to work around the current limitations of electric batteries.</span></p><p><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">Anything that involves personal feelings or choices will be debatable.</span></p><p><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">But there are many issues that could and should be considered as self-evident!</span></p><p><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">Putin's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine exhibits a plethora of them.</span></p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">Should one nation invade another?</span></li><li><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">Should anyone bomb a children's hospital and maternity ward?</span></li><li><span style="color: #20124d;

font-size: x-large;">Clearly war is hell but committing war crimes and crimes against humanity the ultimate hell!</span><p></p><p><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">Another self-evident issue has been exposed by Putin's war, profiteering!</span></p><p><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">In a Capitalist society, prices for goods and services are controlled by 'supply and demand.'</span></p><p><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">But profiteering suggests that raising prices on necessary items and keeping them high without cause is simply wrong.</span></p><p><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">Gasoline prices rise with the increased cost for a barrel of oil.</span></p><p><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">We are all aware of that cause and effect.</span></p><p><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">But the speed with which the price rises would cause Einstein to scratch his head.</span></p><p><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">And the length of time it takes for prices to return after oil prices drop would make a snail appear fast.</span></p><p><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">An argument made by gas station owners at the pace in the latter example is that they must clear out the more expensive gas from their tanks before selling the more affordable commodity.</span></p><p><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">But one should ask why they did not use this absurd logic when future gas prices were rising while they still had less expensive inventory in their tanks!</span></p><p><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">And finally, I come to a self-evident issue that houses the heart of every black and white issue in America, politics.</span></p><div style="text-align: left;"><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="color: #783f04;

researchers are one step closer to figuring out how to slow the ageing process.</span></p><p style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Even 70- to 77-year-olds
can lower their mortality with high-intensity interval training (HIIT), a <a href="https://www.bmj.com/content/371/bmj.m3485"><span style="text-decoration-line: none;">Norwegian study</span></a> has
found.</span></p><p style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">In the study, researchers
at the University of Trondheim compared the exercise activities of 1,567
people, who averaged 72 years of age, over a five-year period. </span></p><p style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Those who completed the
HIIT ("high intensity interval training") program outperformed the
other two groups, who did moderate exercise or normal sports at a significantly
lower heart rate. </span></p><p style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #20124d;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b>Biohackers want to go much further
than HIIT<br /></b></span><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Biohackers,
who follow a trend originating in the US, are using "hacks" to try
and "turn back" their biological clocks.</span></span></p><p style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #20124d;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">One
of the most prominent biohackers is Silicon Valley entrepreneur David Asprey.
He weighed around 309 lbs as a 26-year-old because his diet was centered around
pizza, chips, and Coca-Cola. His arteries were as old as his
grandfather's. <br /></span><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">"I
decided to radically change my life because if I hadn't, I would have dropped
dead soon enough," recalled Asprey. <br /></span><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">That's
when he started trying everything possible to rejuvenate his body and brain
cells. <br /></span><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: -0.25pt;">Asprey's morning cup of coffee contains </span></span><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: -0.333333px;">ghee or</span><span style="letter-spacing: -0.25pt;"> clarified butter.</span></span></span></p><p style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #20124d;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">"The
first thing I do is skip my breakfast and just drink my Bulletproof coffee,
which is an organic coffee that has a little ghee mixed in, as well as a little
MCT oil," he explained. <br /></span><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">The
clarified butter, which is all ghee is, suppresses the feeling of hunger, as
does the caffeine. The MCT oil is based on coconut oil and contains saturated
fats called caprylic and capric acids. <br /></span><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">"They
help the body create important fasting substances called ketone bodies. They
dispose of excess cellular waste during the morning fasting period,"
Asprey said. <br /></span><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Max
Gotzler is a well-known German biohacker. His book, "Der tägliche
Biohacker" (The Daily Biohacker), published in October, promises to teach
you "how to be more efficient, healthier, more resilient, more balanced,
and more productive every day in small steps."</span></span></p><p style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #20124d;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b>"Intermittent fasting improves
blood fat levels"<br /></b></span><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Renowned
aging researcher David Sinclair of Harvard Medical School, who's been studying
longevity genes for decades, confirmed that skipping breakfast or dinner —
intermittent fasting — can rejuvenate us. That's because the temporary
starvation changes our metabolism — instead of sugar, we burn fat, disposing of
useless cellular waste. In this cleansing phase, we get rid of inflammatory
cells, for example, which can do great damage to our bodies.</span></span></p><p style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #20124d;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">"Studies
show that intermittent fasting improves blood fat levels, and can lower blood
pressure," said Berlin cardiologist and general practitioner Natascha
Hess. <br /></span><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">"Especially
when combined with exercise," she added. Fasting rejuvenates blood vessels
in 95% of all cases. <br /></span><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">"However,
those who have a genetic lipid metabolism disorder are dependent on medication
in addition to lifestyle changes," Hess said. So, biohacking doesn't
always work.</span></span></p><p style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b>"Those who don't sleep enough
suffer more pain"</b></span></p><p style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Biohackers
also focus on improving sleep. To do this, they use watches and fitness bands
with apps — or wearables — that record sleep phases. A popular example is the
Oura Ring.</span></p><p style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Using
small sensors on the inside, the ring measures sleep phases in a similar way to
fitness bracelets. With the help of an app on your smartphone, you can check
how many deep sleep and REM sleep phases you have gone through. REM sleep is
the time during which we emotionally process the experiences of the day and
store them in our memory. </span></p><p style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #20124d;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">"If
you have too few deep sleep or REM sleep phases, you can only renew your cells
insufficiently. You age faster," said Berlin orthopedist, sports
physician, and pain specialist Christopher Topar, who's been testing the Oura
ring for a few months. <br /></span><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">"60%
of my pain patients say they sleep badly. Those who don't sleep enough suffer
from more pain," he said. </span><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: -0.25pt;">Biohackers use wearables to improve their sleep. </span></span></span></p><p style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Knowing
which apps, smart fitness watches, or wearables his patients can use to improve
their sleep is part of his holistic approach. </span></p><p style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">In
recent years, scientists have discovered how ill lack of sleep can make us.
It's not just daily exhaustion we struggle with; poor sleep increases the risk
of <a href="https://www.insider.com/what-is-heart-disease"><span style="text-decoration: none;">heart disease</span></a>,
obesity, and <a href="https://www.insider.com/what-is-diabetes"><span style="text-decoration: none;">diabetes</span></a>.
Headaches and <a href="https://www.insider.com/what-is-depression"><span style="text-decoration: none;">depression</span></a> also
occur when we sleep too little or too poorly.</span></p><p style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #20124d;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Not
everyone is going to improve their sleep by wearing a fitness bracelet, watch,
or ring to track their sleep stages. <br /></span><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">"However,
such gadgets help us find out why we sleep poorly, wake up repeatedly at night,
or wake up too early in the morning," Topar said. </span></span></p><p style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Some
people may have eaten too late, others may be sleeping badly due to too much
alcohol or television.</span></p><p style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">It's
also known that reading on a smartphone or tablet suppresses the release of the
hormone melatonin, which the body normally releases in the evening and is
supposed to make us tired, due to the blue light that these devices emit. This
would also explain why so many children who play games with a computer or
tablet until the evening suffer from trouble falling asleep.</span></p><p style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #20124d;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b>Nutrition plays a key role<br /></b></span><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Another
important part of the biohacker lifestyle is nutrition. They advise eating less
red and processed meats.<br /></span><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">David
Sinclair believes your plate should look colorful with yellow, red, or green
vegetables rich in phytochemicals called polyphenols. </span></span></p><p style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #20124d;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">"These
substances inhibit the growth of inflammatory and cancer cells," said the
Harvard professor.<br /></span><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Biohackers
have also been known to use some controversial methods.</span></span></p><p style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">David
Asprey, for example, had his body's own stem cells transplanted into other
parts of his body, including his sex organs. </span></p><p style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">You
can read about his biohacks in the book "Super Human: The Bulletproof Plan
to Age Backward and Maybe Even Live Forever." </span></p><p style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">This
is just as unadvisable as overdoing diet, exercise, and sleep control. </span></p><p style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">"Our
health should be at the center of our lives, but controlling it should not rule
us," said cardiologist Hess. But she advises a bit of self-measurement
using apps for many of her patients. </span></p><p style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">"You're
often surprised how many calories are in a 'small snack' and that it takes half
an hour of exercise to burn them off again."</span></p><p style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Relaxation
is another important factor in maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and it's often
overlooked. If we've had a particularly stressful day, it's important to tell
our body that it's allowed to relax in the evening.</span></p><p style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Doing this should stop the
release of the stress hormones adrenaline and cortisol, allowing the body and mind
to properly rest.</span></p><h4 style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br /></span><i><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Read the
