Recipe swap is part of the raison d'etre for that space on the internet. But it's a good example of getting snippy in direct proportion to the insignificance of the issue at hand. <br /><br />You're right; healthcare for all is a high-stakes game. So is running the free world. Rush Limbaugh would like to decide who does that, and if I join him in saying the President sucks, without taking into account what that might cost me (and sometimes it's worth it I get that) I have no one to blame but myself if I'm surprised by the outcome.Fran / Blue Galhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18293627981248346055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983386.post-96143767609924882009-11-01T13:19:27.520-06:002009-11-01T13:19:27.520-06:00OOOps! forgot to post the Starbucks calorie link

Now this ladies recipie suggestion probably looks downright reasonable in comparison. <br /><br />But the point is why the #@ck are we getting our panties in a knot (knew you'd like the panty reference) over calories in your drink when 122 Americans are dying every day for lack of health insurance?<br /><br />Or the fact the Ntl.debt just went over the 12 trillion mark?<br /><br />Or why we are still engaged in 2 wars of choice?<br /><br />Let's assume adults can count calories, and consent to whatever adult sex they like (within the law)?<br /><br />There are such bigger issues to deal with!Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198689517878201943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983386.post-39481418363925886462009-11-01T10:27:09.337-06:002009-11-01T10:27:09.337-06:00'I also watched Reagan get elected in '80....<i>'I also watched Reagan get elected in '80.'</i><br /><br />That's enough to turn anyone to the dark side.

Clarity of perspective certainly isn't issued at birth.<br /><br />One thing that many don't do in this short life that we are given to spend is to approach the subjective analysis of others actions and lifestyle with the potential outcome of <i>'Not my thing - but not worth the hassle'</i> when confronted with some mild outrage to the sensibilities...The problem being that the reactionary trip wire seems to be set far too low and tight for most.darkblackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06584075324283109495noreply@blogger.com
