I've accepted a few of lifes inequities but there's one that's been bugging me lately. I've switched over to whole grain rice and discovered I like it better. Kind of blows the doors off that white crap I've been eating all these years. What I can't help wondering is why I need to pay twice as much for food that requires less labor and processing to produce? I guess that goes for most of them though.

I've been doing dead lifts at the gym recently. It's one of those exercises. Basically means it is difficult to do it correctly and a lot of people end up doing something they shouldn't. The "something you shouldn't" could be anywhere from a strained lower back to a hernia. Don't do those things. My conundrum is what to do when you're half way through a weighted, compound motion and in a semi-squat position? I should also mention I had 100kg hanging from my arms and gas in a gym full of people. Doing "something you shouldn't" can sometimes be a choice between the lesser of two evils. I do not currently have back pain or a hernia.

Sorry to not be ranting on about politics. I feel like I've said my piece for the moment. Huckabee is the anti-christ, Romney would be if he thought it'd help him be President, McCain will spontaneously oxidize and return to dust on the third Tuesday of the fourth month in the first year he is elected, Guliani has really bad camp-drag issues, and Paul is just weird - Ross Perot, big ears weird. All of the Democrats are flawed and poll-driven but, at least, the lesser of two evils. Too bad we can't have Al Gore but it looks like he's got too much integrity to try politics again. 

I did find out we have around 28 or so Democratic delegates that represent out-of-country voters. That means I get a shot at the primaries with real time representatation.

cool.
