Maggie's FarmWe are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for. |

Truth
I do not think that anybody views Mrs. Bill Clinton as a truthful person, or as a person of good moral character. Those things are not required of politicians, and certainly not expected of the Clintons. However, she did tell the truth yesterday: "I often feel like there’s the Hillary standard and then there’s the standard for everybody else."

Rachel, you are wrong
What Americans want is government to get out of their way. I might be wrong, but "making America great" still depends on what it used to, which is a culture of self-reliance without government micro-managing, over-taxing, and over-regulating their lives.

Almost all of human Vit D is produced by skin in response to UV solar radiation. Animals with fur and feathers produce their own. In its favor, it seems to help prevent some cancers and heart disease, so it is a good guy. In the US, Vit D is added to commercial milk to make sure kids get some. About 15-20 minutes/day of unprotected sun seems enough to raise Vit D levels but few people get that daily. Sunbathing nude, of course, makes it quicker. Some of it is stored in fat cells for a while, until it gets used up. Recent evidence suggests that sunblock does not prevent Vit D production in skin very much. In temperate climates, it's not a bad idea to take oral Vit D. I do, and all of my MD friends do. Few people sunbathe in January around here. When it comes to sun damage and skin cancers, sunburn seems to be the criminal, not some wholesome sun. Saturday, July 16. 2016Saturday morning links
