1 turkey leg has 1100 calories and 44 grams of heart killing animal saturated fat.

Wonder why so many feel the need to take a nap after that meal?

I went for a 5 mile jog after pigging out on organic fruit on thanksgiving.

Food that makes you sleepy is heart killing food that is killing you.

Food should NEVER make you tired. It should energize you.

Aware of the slaughterhouse conditions where these often sick animals are butchered?

Grow it here, sell/buy it here, consume it here. BAM, the local economy grows.

Colorado has a buffer against future recessions. Colorado has a built in safeguard that will keep our state's economy afloat throughout future or current hard times. Hard times may come but we won't starve, because of this economic gift of sustainability.

Imagine that..
A self-sustainable sector of Colorado's economy growing so large that its economic footprint is now easily measurable.

Marijuana is now becoming a large and fast 'growing' sector of Co's economy. Pot's economic footprint is now a growing slice of Co's economic pie. Measurable growth, profits, job creation, job security, lower unemployment.

And WOW, it IS providing jobs, dignity, economic security for those now employed in the thriving pot industry.

Old abandoned prisons, factories etc are being re-purposed into gigantic grow facilities. Creating, re-invigorating areas/towns that were depressed into now growing economies.

Blight is being reversed.

Fully self-sustainable. Local.

Think about it like this, if our nation adopted the concept of grow it here, buy it here, consume it here to factories and manufacturing, how our national economy would grow..

abandoned factories could be re-purposed into working factories with good paying jobs that breathe life into local economies.

Fully self-sustainable. A national economy built on that won't go into recession.

Grow it/manufacture it/make it here. Buy it here. Consume it here.

National self-sustainability.

There's new life in Colorado. It's green and smells skunky. It also makes us more recession-proof.

Legal Marijauna.

It will take potheads to teach America the lesson of sustainability.

Pothead Economics 101.

Sustainability is how we 'roll' in Colorado.

Replace this fascist police-state with a FACTORY-STATE and watch crime nearly vanish.

Living-wage factory jobs and low unemployment are proven to be the #1 crime fighter that any society has in its arsenal.

The presence of factories in any community can bring a sense of community pride. People don't want crime to happen in a vibrant community when the economy is strong. Made strong by people having jobs vs the blight and decay of mass unemployment.

Unemployment is a crime driver.

Today..
Free trading our factories in masses to China has created a mass of unemployment rivaled only by the Great Depression in the 1930's.

Hillary is a pro-outsourcing free trader. Hillary is pro-TPP.

Hillary's policies create crime, blight, and poverty.

and feed this police state.

FFS Hillary, just bring back the $3 a day wage, pay docking, no overtime pay, 90 hour workweek

Walter Reuther didn't get bodyslammed on the concrete 7 fucking times while battling Ford Motor Company's KKK-backed "Service Department" while organizing a union drive at Ford in the 1930's..

JUST TO SEE DEMOCRATS FREE TRADE OUR MIDDLE CLASS TO CHINA TO KILL WAGES

Hillary, YOU are..

Pro $3 a day wage for us, the peon class

Anti-40 hour work week

Pro-wage-docking(fuck up on the job and your boss docks half your days paycheck)

Pro 16 hour workday

Anti-overtime pay

Anti-paid holidays and paid vacation time

Anti-OTJ safety requirements

You automatically take these stances when you advocate for free trade and outsourcing.

Hillary is ripping the Democratic Party apart because the Clinton's sold out the spine of the party, its middle class.

The ENTIRE purpose of free trade is to undo Walter Reuther's legacy of building America's middle class.

The Clinton's might be the worst thing that has ever happened to America's middle class.

The First step in solving a problem is realizing there is one. America is not the greatest country anymore.

18 women with very similar accusations: Bill Cosby is an alleged serial rapist.

18 women have now come forward with very similar accusations against Bill Cosby.

That Cosby DRUGGED and RAPED/Sexually Assaulted most, if not all of them.

8 of the women have taken lie detector tests and passed.

Bill Cosby has refused to take a polygraph. Even if it isn't admissible in court, it could go a long way to clearing him if he truly were innocent. I'm guessing he is guilty as hell but the legal system needs to investigate and if evidence warrants, prosecute Cosby.

.......................................

As I've said before, until rape becomes a FEDERAL civil rights issue, we'll continue to see county and state police and prosecutors turn a blind eye to rape accusations or help cover it up or sweep it under the rug.

Steubenville, Oh
Jameis Winston and FSU.
The Coz
just to name a few, think of how many unreported rape/SA's that have happened where women won't come forward, knowing they'll be treated like the criminal by police or prosecutors.

No wonder so many women are reluctant to ever report rape.

Rape is becoming one of the most UN/UNDERPROSECUTED crimes of our society.

Our society needs to pass laws that enable the federal govt to investigate/prosecute if warranted, when it appears that a local prosecutor dropped the ball on a rape complaint by ignoring or conspiring to cover it up. Like murder, there should be no statute of limitations on prosecuting rape. If Cosby raped back in the 70's he should still be fully indictable for that crime.

Until this happens, America is the land of unpunished serial rapists.

Unprosecuted rape is a societal cancer that can only be cured by tough federal laws.

Acid Rain Has Turned Canadian Lakes into a Kind of Jelly

Source: MSN News

CityLab
John Metcalfe

Swimmers who dive into any number of Canadian lakes might not emerge clean and refreshed, but dripping with globs that resemble slimy fish eggs. A legacy of industrial pollution has caused great changes in the country's water chemistry, creating a boom in tiny organisms that transform lakes into "jelly."

That's the gooey news from scientists behind a new paper in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, who say that populations of this particular organism have doubled since the 1980s in many of Ontario's lakes. The reasons involve a complex dance of species, but here's the short version: Acid rain caused by smelting operations and other human activity removed calcium from the soil in drainage areas. That depleted the calcium levels in many lakes, which has hurt a kind of plankton (Daphnia) that needs the element to build armor. Enter a competing plankton, Holopedium, which requires far less calcium to bulk up and is coated with a gel that's excellent at repelling predators.

Nutenyahoo = Slobadon Milosavic

Yet, why hasn't the Nut been arrested for committing many of the SAME war crimes committed by Milosavic?

Why is Nut a free man, let alone a head of state? (Slob died in his cell awaiting a war crimes tribunal.)

Nut's crimes are already fully indictable.

We need to start calling Nut the NEW SLOBADON MILOSAVIC.

Indict the ethnic cleansing war-criminal.

Millenials. Oppose. Free Trade. Loudly. And. Vocally. Or. Face. A. Bleak. Future.

We will all face a lifetime of servitude, low-wage-slavery, unemployment, vanishing job benefits, and we will watch our nation waste away, a process already well underway.
(This is every middle class/empoverished person's fight, including me, just saying, the youth have more to lose because they have their entire live's in front of them)

I'd like to see most every college campus become an 'epicenter' of anti-free-trade protest.

Because young college students(and non-college young people as well) have their entire lives in front of them. They will suffer a lifetime of poverty if WE don't END free trade.

Free traders have declared war on YOU.

They war for YOUR servitude and your enslavement to a low-wage future.

STAND UP AND FIGHT OR FACE A BLEAK FUTURE.

OPPOSE HILLARY. OPPOSE TPP.
