I want to ride to live, and live to ride!

A bitter sweetener.

I will admit to occationally listening to the radio show Coast to Coast as I drift off to sleep. I will not, however, admitt to being part of the tin foil hat gang. Still, on the few times I have heard it, some of the less exotic segments do give you something to think about. Take for instance the one that was on the other night featuring Dr. Betty Martini. It was about aspertame.

Now I would assume that most US citizens have at least heard of the documentary Sweet Deception, and know there is some difference about artificial sweeteners' saftey. But if one-half of what is on Dr. Martini's web site is accurate, we are in serious trouble. I am sure the FDA would say that the MDs opposing aspartame are alarmists. Problem is, too many of them are reputable, and do research, or are close to those who do. They are all saying the same thing, and they have documentation to back them up. The FDA just has name calling.

Some times I think I am going nuts. This organization is supposed to keep unsafe additives out of our food supply, yet they are in the pockets of Monsanto and others. The corruption in my government makes me sad; but it also makes me as mad as hell! Who do these amoral, puissant, money grubbing, sell-outs think they are? It is time for a total house cleaning of our government, and I think we may be on the edge of needing an out and out revolution. God I hope not! I really don't want war, and the havoc and devastation that comes with it. I just think the apathy of decades, the good 'ole boy system adopted by the hippies not in office may be too entrenched to take care of it any other way.

God help our country! He is the only one who can now, because we have destroyed it.
