Declarations and Such...
As the first post in "Things You Should Know" it seems fitting to have another first...such as the first Ten Amendments of the Constitution of the United States, also known as the Bill of Rights. Although many tout the First and Fourth Amendments, it is pretty revealing to fully understand the Bill in its entirety. This Playlist is a class given by the Constitutional Scholar-and former Presidential hopeful-Michael Badnarik. Enjoy... Truly, this is something you NEED to know...

What's in Your Diet?
As I grew up, Grade School was full of characters... The funny guy, the cool guy, the hot girl...you know. It also included that one, singular person whose family had the "weight problem." That individual normally turned into that big guy or gal that everyone wanted to befriend in high school, but at the end of the day--in elementary school--this person was simply made fun of (whether for good or bad). Now, the trend is seriously reversed, and as a country, we find ourselves on an epidemic of obesity that is unprecedented. Part of this issue revolves around what foods people decide to eat. At the same time, it is what's in the food. I believe it is more of what's in the food than what foods you're actually eating...and I'm not alone. Either way, our friends over at JustLabelIt.org are on a campaign to ensure that we not only know what's in it on a substantive level, but also, which organisms of our food chain have been genetically modified to provide "nourishment"... Check them out, as well as their video encouraging fellow Americans to petition the FDA to make this clear on the label...
