They obviously have never seen our cats. Stress reducers? I don't think so.
The study didn't say what caused the reduction in heart disease, and I agree that it probably isn't reduction in stress. My daughter's cat lives with me, and the damned thing is in heat and howled all night long last night. With that combined with the daylight savings time change I'm pretty damned tired right now.
I felt like killing the damned thing when it wouldn't shut up, but then my daughter would kill ME.
Also, if you can't afford new furniture you can't afford a cat. If you're looking to obtain one of these strange creatures, I wrote an article about the subject several years ago that you might find helpful.
You pseudo-cyborgs will be assimilated. Resistance is not only futile but when you need an implant you'll beg to join us! The Vice President of the US is a cyborg. Your grandma's probably one of us.

(I have a crystalens implanted in my left eye. It focuses despite the fact that I turn 56 next month. My eyesight is better than 20/20 at all distances... well, it was before it started bleeding internally a couple of weeks ago. See my sig for details about the implant. The bleeding is a result of a torn retina, if you are seriously nearsighted you are at risk for a torn retina. If you see black snow and something that looks like a snake, you have a medical emergency and should get treatment immediately. My retina specialist says I may need a vitrectomy.)
You're fighting the wrong battle, kid. The fight is between those in power, the corporations and their lobbyists, and we, the people.
And you're helping them fight us.
BTW, I'm a geezer.
It's said that if you're a conservative when you're young you have no heart. If you're a liberal when you're old you have no brains. I'd say if you consider yourself boxed into outdated ideas like "liberal" and "conservative" you have neither brains nor heart.
When I was in my tewnties, marijuana was going to be legal as soon as my generation got in power. Well, so much for THAT generational battle!
The voting box is broken when the media doesnt spread the news
The media doesn't spread the news because they are owned by the same corporations that "contribute" heavily to both "mainstream candidates" (IE, both the Republican and Democrat wings of the Republicrat Party) in every major race.
When Nader was running as a "third party" (Green) candidate, he wasn't on the ballot in enough states to gain the Presidency even if he won every state he ran in, and the media slobbered all over him. The Libertarians were on the ballot in 49 states, yet the media said nary a word about him.
Your corporate overlords, most of whom are foreign (Sony, BP, Shell, etc) aren't about to let go of their power. We, the People, lost and lost big a long time ago.
That said, I still vote, but split my vote between "third party" candidates. Because voting for a candidate that will vote against your interests is worse than wasting a vote, it's just plain stupid. People don't stay away from the polls because they're apathetic, they stay away because they know they have no real voice. Both candidates against legalizing something you love? Why vote?
The Legislative branch passed the Bono act, despite the fact that the Constitution says "for limited times". The President (Clinton IIRC) signed it, despite the fact that the Constitution says "for limited times". The Supreme Court ruled that "limited" means whatever the other two branches want it to mean.
Since this is the case, it logically follows that your car can be searched without a warrant. I said more about it here a few years ago, and again here a couple of months ago.

George writes a song, and has copyright on it for the rest of his life. Paul wants to sing George's song but doesn't want to pay him for it, so as he's rich but frugal he just has Geeorge killed, say gives him a brain tumor or "accident" or something.
Paul can now sing George's songs publically, record them for profit, whatever, and there is no longer a copyright.
US Copyright on international works was introduced because US publishers wouldn't publish American authors. American publishers would simply publish works from British authors and didn't have to pay anyone. If the author, who holds copyright under the GP's scenario dies, the publisher can continue selling books without paying the author.
Industrialists kill people every day, with impunity. My grandfather fell four stories because the Purina Corporation was too cheap to put doors on the elevators (1959). He was a complete cripple, unable to do anything at all, even speak, for the next ten years, when he mercifully contracted pneumonia and died.
When I worked at Cerro Copper for two months a couple decades ago, two people died on the job in that factory, one falling into a vat of molten copper. You might think being a policeman or soldier would be the most dangerous job, but you'd be wrong. The most dangerous job is construction.
The only way a rich powerful man goes to prison is if a richer, more powerful man wants him there. Your naivete is touching, your corporate masters need more people like you.
True, and it's not just drugs. Take the "war on terror" for instance. Actually anything whatever government does prefixed with "war on". Mojo Nixon said it well a long time ago:
Burn down the malls, Burn down the malls, Burn down the shoppin' malls I said Burn down the malls said burn down the shoppin' malls burna burna burna burna down shoppin' maaalls
Hey you ever get the feelin that America is turning into some kinda sit-com lowest common denominator shopping mall marketing strategy from hell?
You ever get that feeling? Well I got that feeling right now and it's kinda getting under my skin, yeah.
So get some gas-o-line and Burn down the malls SAY IT Burn down the malls LOUDER Burn down the malls You know it just started out as a kind of corner store. Then it turned into a shopping center
Oh I remember the shoppin' center openings man. they used to have those big lights shinin' up but now... Now, where do the old folks go? Where do the young kids go?
What's America, what's America turning into? Mondo-condo-shopping-mall-hell! I say Burn down the malls, Burn down the malls, Burn down the malls
Nero had the right idea- fiddle while you burn... Now another thing is kinda gettin' on my nerves... Another thing that's kinda gettin' on my nerves is this national 21 drinking age. Huh? what do ya think about that? A bunch of malarky! whatever malarky is man. You know if Reagan finally gets the war he's lookin for you think he's gonna be draftin' 21 year olds? No man they're gonna be draftin' 18 and 19 year olds. But ya cant buy beer. You can get married and screw yourself up real good but ya can't buy beer. Ya can charge 8 million dollars on the mastercharge but ya can't buy beer. You can vote for one fool or another but ya can't buy beer. 'cause this is America. America that's run by the lowest common denominator, the money. How many units did ya move Mojo?
How many things of apple juice did ya sell? C'mon suckers- c'mon feel it Burn down the mall, One more time, one more time Huh, one more time, huh One more time Burn down the malls, Burn down the malls
Alright all you weirdo's out there, all you moralistic twisted evil little icepeckers, you say "we wanna censor rock and roll". We wanna decide what you read, what you watch, what you listen to!
Ooo ooo ooo Mr. Falwell! Oooh Miss Tipper Gore! Wait till i got you on the floor! We gonna tie you up inside of a shopping mall! Then we're gonna then we're gonna...
We're gonna have a war on drugs! A war on drugs! We outta have a war on war you suckers. We outta have a war on this senseless condominium new car helllll!!! Burn down the malls Burn down the malls Burn down the malls
Software *is* a fundamentally different construct than anything that came before it
True, but it's been around for over half a century, and that's discounting Ada Lovelace, the world's first programmer, who died in 1852 (the machine she wrote programs for, Babbage's Analitical Engine, wasn't actually constructed until the late 20th century).
Why is physicality so valued as to deserve patents when software is not?
Why should software deserve patents when music does not?
You can believe what you want, but I saw more SR-71s parked together than what the media reported having been built. It must have been the same way with the bombers.
Wouldn't have been very smart of them to be truthful about how many spy planes and bomers they'd built.
I'm not sure if the U2s were natively stationed there, but I beleive they were as they were there quite a lot.
You are correct, Dover was (is?) a MAC base. It was NOT the base with the B-52s. I'm not going to name that base.
This was between 1971 and 1975, Dover had 141s then. The C-5s were brand spanking new at the time.
I mentioned a C-5 simulator in some detail in a K5 story I wrote a few years ago. It was about the coolest thing I'd seen in my life, at least at the time it was.
No, Dover was (is?) a MAC (Military Airlift Command) base. The bombers were stationed on SAC (Strategic Air Command) bases. They did away with the SAC when the cold war ended.
I was at Utapao, Thailand, too. Utapao was a SAC base as well. I can't even find that one on Google Maps; they may have changed its name. It was a Thai navy base that we rented part of to bomb Vietnam from. I saw my first U2 at Utapao.
It's not far from Fuckit Island (spelled "Phuket" on the maps, the Thais have a different alphabet than us but it's pronounced "fuck it". Fuck It Island was hit by that Christmas tsunami a couple of years ago.
I saw technology in the USAF in the early seventies that's still classified today. Food for thought.
From the two linked diaries: The bhuddist priests do things that make Kwai Chaing Cane look like a clumsy dork is from the first link, I walked around the wall, and "click-click"- I was staring into the barrel of a shiny chrome.45 calibre automatic pistol. "Ow alai?" the gun's owner demanded, or "what do you want" in English is in the second.
And you call that evidence.... we should make better schools.
Evidence? You want scary read this St Louis Post Dispatch story. Thirty people who had been arrested on drug charges were released after the arresting officer was shot and killed. Apparently the only "evidence" was the cop's word.
"Well" you say, "that's just one redneck state?" Well, I live next door to that state, here in Illinois they fired two detectives for perjury, planting evidence, and other bogus stunts - after the two were caught. The detectives weren't charged with their obviously criminal actions, and one man who had been arrested on charges of being a dope dealer, then released when it was clear the charges were bogus, is suing.
It's too bad that the law doesn't have the same definition for "evidence" as scientists. It's pretty easy to see how this "creationist" garbage gets started.
BTW, no where in the Bible does it say how old the universe (or the earth) is or how God went about making life. Like the two stories about dopers, they're just taking some asshat's word for it.
