We joked about the government making us exercise...
...but it may actually become a reality in the United Kingdom
The Chairman of Health in the UK is proposing that companies with more than 500 staff would have an "exercise hour". Employees would have to deliberately choose not to join in.
He also wants to introduce a smoking permit, which smokers would be required to show each time they bought tobacco.
[I'm sure you would have to pay for the permit.]
"It is not like banning something, it's a softer form of paternalism." [Give me a break.]
Some responses from the public:
After we have our "exercise hour", will the Government appointed nanny then be around to wipe our little noses? Perhaps to burp us after a meal?
The Government is hanging cameras everywhere, telling us what we can and can not wear, eat, and smoke.
When did we stop electing public servants and begin electing parents?
My comment: How much you want to bet the United States will start something like that?

Violet is smarter than we think
In 1934 a dollar was worth 1/20th of an ounce of gold; $20 bought an ounce of gold. Today a dollar is worth 1/742nd of an ounce of gold, meaning it takes $742 to buy one ounce of gold.
In the long term the dollar price of gold represents past inflation of the money supply. Few Americans know nor seem concerned that the 1913 pre-Federal Reserve dollar is now worth only four cents. But, apparently Violet is aware of the shrinking value of the dollar.
She was at the flower shop with her mommy and she found the money kept on hand to make change. About $100, mostly ones and fives. Violet had trouble holding onto the big wad of money in her little hand, and accidentally dropped a lot of the bills on the shop floor. She looked down at the "mess" she had made and said, "Uh-oh." But, no problem. Being the good little girl that she is, she began to clean up the mess she made by picking up the bills and throwing them in the trash can.
After all, it's just paper.

Ron Paul is getting noticed
It may be hard to hear Tucker Carlson's words at the very end of the video, but what he says is, "Now, I'm proud of it."

HIMALAYA GOJI JUICE!
Hey, I just had something confirmed about this Goji juice that Sing (Lorraine's uncle) has been drinking: It's not a fad, it really works!
Neisha, do you remember in an email I told you about Goji juice, and you said you looked it up online and got the impression that it was "just another fad" like the Noni juice everyone was ranting and raving about a couple of years ago? Well, I was just watching Oprah, and you know that doctor she has on occasionally, who's an expert on sex, and longevity, etc., etc.? Well, someone in the audience asked him how to keep up your strength and have more energy, and his answer was, "The best thing I can tell you is to drink Goji juice." When I heard THAT, I knew it wasn't Sing's imagination; he'd been talking about how good he's been feeling, and for someone who no longer has cancer (of the colin), I'd say it's worth a try to get Goji juice.
It's pretty expensive, but you only drink 1-3 oz. daily, and it supposedly has lots of great stuff in it. Sing's sold on it!
Just thought I'd share this info with you all!
Thanks, and have a glorious day...
