Overheard at the Bank:

“If socialists understood economics, then they wouldn’t be socialists….”

“Change is the only thing in this world that is permanent”

“Most people don’t want the truth, they want comforting words and support”

“Living is not about avoiding failure, but getting back up after you fall”

“Clinging to someone, friend or lover, while they slip away is like clenching your fist to hold sand….it simply slides through your grasp more quickly”.

“The way friends and lovers love you is reflection of their depth, not your value”

“Mistakes are proof you are trying…if you never make mistakes, you are not trying”

“A future is not given to you. It is something you must make for yourself.”

“Death is not something a man should fear, he should fear not learning to live”

“You cannot start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading the last one”

I actually approve of his removing these artificial dyes from food. Personally, I’d like to see it happen faster than 2 years.

They serve no real purpose other than to make them more appealing to consumers (and especially children)…but they don’t make for better tasting food, nor longer lasting nor more nutritious.

At least not the current list that he proposes.

Honestly, they should have been eliminated years ago.

And, oddly enough, we have data showing their (marginal, but measurable) effect on kids, or at least some kids….So I approve, as there is hard data, not just conjecture and urban legend and someone’s anecdotal claim on an internet post that cannot be verified.

(BTW, this was already in the works by the FDA, Kennedy just accelerated it)

I think I will find a way to burn some carbon producing garbage.

In the diner:

“It isn’t racism, It is recognition of patterns in behavior.”

huh…

I mean, it took time, but the Battle of San Jacinto pretty much was the point that it was set.

After that, it was all over but the shouting and hand waving.
