Lucky Story

Dr. Atkins attacked for years chemo therapy and the drug companies for this reason - chemo does not work long term it makes people worse off than they were before --- gee just like the food pyramid of healthy the FDA along with Kellogs and the dairy association doled out --- Eat low fat nonsense that only made America fat.

Rga, once again you take distorted facts as whole truths. You seem to do this with both Politics and Audio. Your quite the persistant fellow, so it's no wonder when you find the information your seeking.

And when Atkins said this - instead of testing what he had to say they put out enormous campaigns calling him a nut. Since he got all the information from MEDICAL science to start with(the stuff the big boys try and hide) - it's no conspiracy theory it's a science McCarthyist blackball approach. The best form of propaganda in the 21st century is to use scientific propaganda. Science is the answer today as religion was and still is for others. Science - Eugenics, Science - convining people Harman speakers are best why? Cheap parts easy to ship designs and heavy psueudo science to say it's better - when anyone with ears knows it's BS. Science has become controlled by Big corporate industry - and it's not science anymore.

My gosh Rga. It must be frustrating living inside your world. The core Atkins diet is not and was not healthy. It's the same old thing...when major medical universities do real (peer reviewed) studies on diets such as the Atkins they come to the conclusion that it's a health risk. Yet quacks like you think the man is keeping them down. It's the same ol' elixir being sold in a new bottle...and you'll buy it. Why? (my guess) it's not because you believe so much in the Atkins diet...but because you believe so little in everything else. Your pissed off...and without someone or something to aim your frustration and anger toward...well, it wouldn't make for a very good release. Now would it (rhetorical)

- and sadly a good 40% of Americans buy into this tripe. No wonder they keep the education funding down

Rga, once again you seem to easily buy into distorted facts. Please...Please...if your going to be such an angry young man...do your homework...and get your facts somewhere other than from either the Bush, Kerry or Moore camp websites(and the like).

Funding for Education is actually up over 58% already in the first three years under Bush, and is set for further additional increases in January. Such as a 9.8% increase toward programs for low-income children and also a 5.9% increase in funding for special education. This is on top of the 58% increase that we've already had. The increase in only three years under Bush has been larger than all the increases in eight years under Clinton. In just three years there has already been an increase that took place that was larger thn the previous eight years...when the economy was (falsely inflated and) booming.


Where your confusion is coming from is from believing (once again) distorted facts and misrepresentations of the facts (or taking fact out of context).

Where some people are claiming education spending is down (27%) is when comparing the maximum that he himself (Bush) had set up in the "no child left behind act"... to what he later (after 9/11) had reduced from the maximum proposed. So the 27% reduction was from the maximum increase that Bush himself was going to allow for education, before the unexpected expenditures on the war. Even so...he still achieved a 58% increase in only three years. More increases toward education are due to follow in '05.

This is simply a political tactic that's been used over and over again to misconstrued what actually happened. Both parties do this often, especially in campaign years.


There are certainly other falsehoods that Bush detractors are claiming, that fall far from the truth. But this doesn't mean, in any way, that Kerry detractors are not doing the same. Because they are. You just can't believe the first thing that gives you an emotional release. If you don't like Bush, fine. There's lots of good reasons not to like him. But prove to yourself that you've come to that conclusion on good information. Well, I suppose you could believe the first thing that gives you a "wanted" emotional release...but just be sure of the path you take to reach a conclusion that may never change.

- a smart public would revolt.

Just to refresh...the above statement you made here, was in reference to the cut in spending on education by the Bush administration. Well, an informed public may think otherwise to your statement...as there was an actually 58% increase in three years on education.

But if you would like to elaborate on what you meant by "a smart public would revolt." Well, there are only a few ways you could have meant that statement...and I would have to say...that I disagree.

- frankly if it happens to me I'm pulling a Nicholas Cage in Leaving las Vegas and drink myself stupid and get laid by a bunch of sexy hookers.

Tell me that when you've got a loving son or daughter coming to visit with you once you've heard the news. No, they may not be able to find the right words to say...or possibly any words. But tell me then that your going out to drink yourself drunk and screw. Tell me that then, and I'll believe you


Rga, best wishes to your father...and his family.


God Bless,
