This 'n That
Lots of items on my "radar" right now.
I've been following the news on the MRSA infections, trying to figure out what's happening with that. The best I can come up with is: keep your immune system strong, cover up your cuts when you're out of the house, and wash with plain soap and water often. It sounds like the underlying causes of this superbug are antibiotic over-usage and anti-bacterial cleaning products.
Toys from China: why should we even mess with stuff from China anymore? Unfortunately, you can't just choose items from other countries easily, as sometimes there is no choice. Such a high percentage of anything you find in any store is from China that it's hard to avoid. But when there is a choice, why not buy products made elsewhere? I have even found myself (when there is no choice) questioning whether or not I really "need" that item anyway. (Reminds me of that VeggieTales where Bob asks Larry how much stuff he needs to be happy. Larry's reply: I don't know! How much stuff is there?!)
And on the election front: once again I'll reiterate that the Republican primary this winter/spring is the "big one". If we elect a dud for the Republican nominee, we might as well say Hello Hillary. I hear people talking about how if we don't nominate and vote next November for someone like Giuliani, we are guilty of splitting the vote and making it possible for the Democrats to win. Personally, I think they have it backwards. If people insist on a RINO for the Republican nomination, then they are the ones guilty of forcing us to split the vote. I liked this article by Dick Armey that I just read this morning. I am still likely to vote for Ron Paul. I think that actually following the Constitution is probably the only way our out-of-control spending and liberty-crushing ways can be stopped. A lot of Christians are coming out in support of Mike Huckabee, and I do like the way he stands on the social issues, but he is not nearly the supporter of liberty that Ron Paul is.
That last paragraph makes it sound like I am some kind of a political nut. I really don't think THAT much about politics. But when I do, I like to cut to the chase.
