VICTIMIZED BY MILLIONS
POLITICS and CORN SYRUP and TSUNAMIS - GIVING THEM "BREAD AND CIRCUSES"
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               EVERY FIVE YEARS the Congress votes into law the "Farm Bill", which provides enormous amounts of your tax dollars as subsidies to farmers in states producing such crops as corn and soybeans. The congressmen representing such states must satisfy their constituents to be re-elected.                  Crops such as corn and soybeans provide cheap sources of sugars (e.g. high-fructose corn syrup) used in soft drinks, donuts, cookies, etc.                    THERE ARE NO SUCH SUBSIDIES FOR FARMERS GROWING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES (the healthy alternatives to foods loaded with cheap sugars). While government officials are faced with a health crisis due to people being overweight, their "Farm Bill" makes it easy for the population to become obese!                NOW ADD ON THE FACT that processed foods, loaded with cheap sugars, are also filled with "preservatives" (poisons in small amounts) used to retard spoilage (the poisons kill microorganisms whose waste products, i.e. green mold, etc., spoil food). THERE IS NO WAY TO PUT PRESERVATIVES INTO FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.                    AN ADDITIONAL PROBLEM of possible adverse health risks, due to the frequent ingestion of small amounts of preservatives, accumulating to large amounts over time, goes unaddressed: the entire population consumes foods containing such poisons, making it impossible to establish a control group.                                                                                                                                                                                      THE PROBLEM ADDRESSED BY ALL OF THIS IS HOW TO ENABLE LARGE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE TO OBTAIN ADEQUATE FOOD AT AN ACCEPTABLE COST. The preservatives help to lower the cost by making many of the foods purchased last longer.                                                                                                                                                                                                               THE ROMAN EMPERORS HAD A MAXIM: "GIVE THEM (THE POPULACE) BREAD AND CIRCUSES!" (i.e. keep them well-fed and entertained, or you'll be assassinated!). The entertainment was provided through watching gladiatorial combats, and lions eating criminals and Christians, in arenas!                                                                                                                                                                                                                  WE ARE ENTERTAINED by watching such events as the UFC, boxing, wrestling, football, soccer, etc., on our laptops and tablets, when we cannot attend these spectacles in person. Fighters are hurt in UFC matches, and in professional wrestling, while boxers are sometimes killed in the ring. Roman gladiatorial combats were fights to the death!                                                                                                                                                      EVERY SOCIOLOGIST knows that introducing solutions results in unforeseen additional problems. Our cost-effective nutrition makes us obese, as does sitting in front of televisions and laptops, while not getting exercise. This causes enormous medical costs. Even bending over computers for long periods of time strains the back of the neck, which often results in a diagnosed medical condition.                                                                                                                                                                                             The movement "OCCUPY WALL STREET" was the result of dissatisfaction by the populace with poor economic conditions resulting in home foreclosures by banks. Nearly 300 demonstrators were arrested by the NYPD for violence, often directed against the police.                                                                                                                                                                             PEOPLE IN CONTROL OF GOVERNMENT WANT THINGS TO GO SMOOTHLY! THEY MUST SATISFY THE VOTERS! You have no doubt heard the expression used in the Navy: "DON'T MAKE WAVES!".                                                                                                                                                                     MY WEBSITE DOES EXACTLY THAT! THERE IS FEAR IN HIGH PLACES OF A VERITABLE TSUNAMI!                                                                                                                                                                             WITH ALL DUE RESPECT TO THE POWERS THAT BE, I HAVE NO INTENTION OF ALLOWING MYSELF, AND MANY OTHER CITIZENS, TO BE VICTIMIZED, WITHOUT PUTTING UP A FIGHT!                                                                                                                                                                     I HAVE BROUGHT THE MATTERS ON THIS WEBSITE TO THE ATTENTION OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, AND OF A WORLDWIDE AUDIENCE, AND I FEEL JUSTIFIED IN SO DOING!
