Health Care

It's bad enough that the government has fooled so many Americans into eating wheat, but it gets worse...
"Note that I said "modern" wheat, because I would argue that what we are being sold today in the form of whole grain bread, raisin bagels, blueberry muffins, pizza, ciabatta, bruschetta, and so on is not the same grain our grandparents grew up on. It's not even close....The gluten proteins in modern wheat, for instance, differ from the gluten proteins found in wheat as recently as 1960. This likely explains why the incidence of celiac disease, the devastating intestinal condition caused by gluten, has quadrupled in the past 40 years. Furthermore, a whole range of inflammatory diseases, from rheumatoid arthritis to inflammatory bowel disease, are also on the rise. Humans haven't changed -- but the wheat we consume has changed considerably."
Holy crap. It wasn't enough for the government to foist wheat on us. It had to corrupt the wheat to be more harmful than ever. Sort of like meat.

God bless Lance Armstrong. God damn the state.
"The USADA, a quasi-governmental agency created by the U.S. Congress in 2000, formally charged Armstrong in June with doping and taking part in a conspiracy with members of his championship teams. Five other cyclists have been accused of conspiring with Armstrong over the course of 14 years to hide doping activity.The agency said in a letter to Armstrong that it has blood samples from 2009 and 2010 that are "fully consistent" with doping."
As if those samples didn't exist before today. He won his races before then. What a crock of crap.
"Armstrong's attorneys contend that he has "passed every drug test ever administered to him in his career - a total of 500 to 600 tests... more drug tests than any athlete in history.""
So what is really going on here? The state would be better off co-opting Armstrong. Apparently, he didn't oblige. My theory is that Armstrong provides the proof-positive that the government-cancer establishment is unhealthy for Americans. Prove me otherwise.
