Cans or bottles? -- you decide
Is it ok to drink from cans? We haven't thought so for many, many years when we learned of a former NFL team who practiced on a field laden with heavy-metal sludge: many members succumbed early to Alzheimer's, dementia, and similar neuro-muscular issues.
It seems metals and brain function do not peacefully co-exist.
We had reason to revisit the issue recently. Here's what we found:

https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080213103206AAICdiK
Summary: Cans bear risk from liners and the aluminum itself. Alzheimer's takes many years to emerge, but autopsies show patients have higher rates of aluminum in their brains. Where does it come from? As these web pages point out, many sources. Still....
Scientists are wary even though partisans like the American Beverage Association tells us a cheery "no problem."
So we come back to the ubiquitous question: who do you trust? Or in the immortal words of Clint Eastwood, "do you feel lucky, punk....well, do you?"
This writer doesn't trust trade groups, and doesn't feel "lucky," and very rarely drinks from cans. Beer -- bottles only. Water bottle and cookware -- stainless steel.
Cancer and dementia are horrors. Why help them along?

Two pieces of great journalism: Ty Cobb and the life insurance industry
Who Was Ty Cobb? The History We Know That’s Wrong - Imprimis
Executive summary: The angry, evil, "rascist" Ty Cobb is a myth. One of the best pieces of journalism we have come across lately. This, and the life insurance expose on 60 Minutes from Sunday.

Thought police nab two
Calvin Trillin’s Poem on Chinese Food Proves Unpalatable for Some - The New York Times
and
Born again Christian and top fighter Manny Pacquiao on homosexuality
Pacquiao net worth is $200 million. He lost his Nike contract over this, and we can't find exact amount of same, but assume "millions." Said he was sorry to offend LGBTs with unfortunate choice of words ("worse than animals," whereas the Bible calls it "abomination", but glad he could tell the truth.)
Telling the truth will get you a knock on the door from the thought police.....please remember, freedom of speech is a one-way street. Only acquiescence and obeisance to the Political Correctness god is acceptable. Surely, by now, everyone knows that......?

How They Brainwash Us
How They Brainwash Us -- Paul Craig Roberts - PaulCraigRoberts.org
Liberalism has helped to make Western peoples blind by creating the belief that noble intentions are more prevalent than corrupt intentions. This false belief blinds people to the roles played by deception and coercion in governing. Consequently, the true facts are not perceived and governments can pursue hidden agendas by manipulating news.
