  Please don't spread the stupid... Fructose is easliy metabolized and used as fuel, even if it is more readily stored compared to straight glucose. And last I checked, there is a lot of fructose in fruit...

  Re: NO GO zones

  The US doesn't have the military resources to respond to areas like this. There are places in Michigan like this. Not to mention various areas all across the US that you wouldn't dare enter if your skin tone didn't match those who live there.

  Re:

  This doesn't have anything to do with the size necessarily. The issue is that there is no innovation. Innovation brings new procedures and new medicine. Innovation also requires research, much of which has now been pointing to certain medicines and procedures being not only unnecessary, but also harmful. It is easier for them to hide this if they don't make anything truly revolutionary.

  Re: Uhm, no, It's not.

  Ah yes, because the words of one man hold so much weight on the true nature of American society. There are those who disagree with the view that the US is unified under common beliefs. They are the same ones who often have issues with them saying that the founders were just wealthy barbarians fighting to hold on to their power riding on the backs of the poor.
  
  Then there are those who work and prove those people wrong on a daily basis. The funny thing is that those who lambast the for fathers for being “elitist wealthy landowners who considered it important to keep government out of the hands of the masses” are the ones who try to disenfranchise the poor by telling them that they can’t do anything or get ahead, that they can’t make more of themselves, that they can’t affect change, that they are being held down by the evil white man. All the while the play off of this and do absolutely nothing substantive to help them change their situation.

  What now?

  So does this mean that everyone who was caught speeding in that speed trap will now be refunded by the state? They should certainly have their records expunged of the incident along with any damages to their insurance record and insurance payments as well. It would seem necessary as they literally just admitted as much.
  
  Class action lawsuit?
