So, what's the gimmick, Frank? Where's the trap door, Frank, or are you
telling me that you had an epiphany? Has the spirit of organic gardening
touched and softened your free-market soul? In any event it does my
heart good to see you post this article, or maybe it's just that I've
just returned from having my big heart roto-rootered at Kaiser in San
Francisco, to give me another 100,000 miles on my ol' ticky-ticker.

No, but I too don't like the idea of the seed market being taken over
like this.

A few years ago I told a guy from Pioneer Seed at the PA farm show after
DuPont had taken them over that I was retired from DuPont. He told me
that DuPont was ruining the company with their emphasis on safety.

I got my angioplasty with stents over 4 years ago. So far, so good

Ah, brothers under the skin ;O)

Besides those, I've got a plate with 5 screws in my shoulder, wires left
over from closing chest and a titanium clot filter in my inferior vena
cava - maybe 10 pieces of metal, total. This is not even adding dental
stuff. Takes your mind off important stuff like gardening.


Sounds like you are safe from MRIs.


You know, I'm not sure, as I don't think any of these parts are
magnetic. I know the clot filter isn't and plate in collarbone is just
under the skin and does not attract a magnet. Not sure about the stents
or chest wires. I'll have to ask my cardiologist when I see her in a
couple of weeks. Never had an MRI but have had enough xrays and CT
scans that I oughta glow in the dark.


IIRC MRI have to do with the magnetic moment of hydrogen atoms as they
are excited to higher energy levels and then fall back, they give off
unique electromagnetic waves which reflect the difference in their
orbital energies. These are the wavelengths that MRIs are looking for.

Obama is now backing a bipartisan Senate budget plan that would cut Social Security and Medicare, while cutting taxes on the wealthy. In addition to entitlement cuts, the so-called "Gang of Six" plan would eliminate a number of popular tax breaks and deductions, including write-offs for home mortgage interest and employer-provided health benefits. The savings would help offset the cost of then lowering the top individual and corporate tax rates from 35 percent to at least 29 percent.

America is not broke.

You put Lloyd Blankfein in pound-me-in-the-ass prison for one six-month term, and all this bullshit would stop, all over Wall Street. That's all it would take. Just once.
