Better than 4 wheel drive. I need this. Seriously. It even has compartments so that if you get tired and hungry on your way home from work, you can just ease it on over to the side of the road and make a snack and take a nap. I’d take this over and suv ANY day of the week!
My husband and I bought a six pack of canned air the other day, you know, the stuff you spray on your key board to clean it? Well, 3M added a bittering agent to the recipe to ‘discourage inhalant abuse’ that’s not all they’ve discouraged. We are taking back the cans to where we purchased them and will be getting our money back. The bitter smell and taste do not only affect those who try to abuse the product, but also those of us who are using the product is intended. This is called, ‘Nanny State’, and means that corporations are governing people, and how they use their products in order to prevent law suits. I do not need a nanny. I do not need to be punished (and using this product feels like punishment) for the actions of those who never learned to, ‘just say, no’. Using 3M’s new canned air formula leaves a nasty taste in your mouth and lingers in the air long after you are done spraying. Can you imagine a large office of people spraying this product? 3M, I do not need you to Nanny me! Stop punishing your customers for the actions of others!
Criminals get bold. This man is being told by police he can’t even use a chicken poop catapult to protect his property. Two thumbs down to the UK police.
We interrupt the regularly scheduled blog entry to bring you this breaking news…scientists in New Zealand have genetically altered an onion improving it (by their standards). What improvements did they make to this new Frankenfood? It doesn’t make you cry when you cut it, really?
Now really, do we need, want, a genetically engineered onion just because it makes us cry? I don’t. Do you want the FDA to make producers of such monstrosities to label them to let us know if we are eating cloned meat or genetically altered food? I DO!
If you are what you eat, then whose to say that eating a piece of food containing altered DNA won’t alter mine? If tea can naturally have an effect on your health in positive ways; lowers blood pressure, reduces cholesterol, helps you to lose weight, then how can something I eat that has been tampered with not effect me in a negative manner?
