Adam's posterous

Bye bye beardie … well sorta.

It was fun while it lasted but now that it’s suddenly jacket weather and it’s getting caught in zippers and was long enough to actually get pinched in shoulder straps the silliness had to come to an end.

Switched back to “normal” beard mode. :)

Ancestral Health - Russian Literature Paradox. Robb Wolf

I thought this was a good quote from his talk here: 

Robb Wolf - "If we were in a room discussing Russian literature and I made some bold statement regarding the grammatical style of 18th century Russian literature, how many of you would have an opinion on that topic? Maybe one of you who actually studied 18th century Russian literature in college. Nobody else has an opinion on the topic because you haven't actually done anything related to that field. But yet everybody is a damn expert on evolutionary biology and human organs despite the fact that they've never attended a single class on medical anthropology, they've never read any of the literature on the topic and it doesn't matter whether it's an MD. a DC. a PHD. of nutritional sciences these people have not spent any of the time researching the pertinent information but yet they have strong opinions as to what human beings did or didn't eat or how they did or didn't live, and that is shocking to me. And pisses me off."

Representative David Wu

Three weeks ago an internet user and constituent wrote to congressman David Wu asking for his support of a Marijuana legalization bill.

Congressman Wu wrote back to the individual stating he felt Marijuana was "harmful to our society" (full post here http://redd.it/iiudw ). Here's an except:

Should I be given the opportunity to vote on this bill , I will work to take a position that respects a careful balance between Oregonians' decision to allow the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes while maintaining control over a substance which I believe is ultimately harmful to our society.

Last week it was reveled congressman Wu had sexual intercourse with the underage daughter of a friend. Congressman Wu is resigning from office.

I think congressman Wu will be getting an education in what actually IS ultimately harmful to our society.

Beard Update

Epicbeard

I believe I’ve surpassed philosophy professor and am hovering between Tolstoy and COBOL programmer. 3" more and I become a member of the Istari wizards and will be issued a robe and pointy hat! That’ll be awesome!
