I would have a glass of wine with a meal...until myeloma appeared. The doctor doesn't forbid it, but research revealed it is not good for me. The more I read about the effects of alcohol, even in moderation, upon the brain and body, the less I am inclined to drink even one glass. I've learned to enjoy ice water with lemon...
OTOH, some people in the longevity "blue zones" drink 1-2 glasses of red wine per day and live significantly longer. But they do have an overall better diet and are usually physically active...
I've always been ruefully amused by the fact that the French smoke unfiltered cigarettes and engage in a diet high in fat/carbs, but live longer than we do. Most of their movement is via walking or bicycling, though. They are far more physically active than the average American.
There isn't much hope to be had in an idiocracy, but sometimes.....just sometimes.....I see a glimmer of hope anyway.

In my defense, I was fully in favor of the Washington team taking a more modern, more progressive mascot that truly reflected our values as a nation, but no matter how many letters I wrote, no one would respond to my suggestion of the Washington Groomers. I see this as nothing less than a lost opportunity.

Stephen Miller Files Complaint That Gay Pop-Tarts Are Sexualizing Kids
The former Trump adviser has filed a civil rights complaint over “woke” breakfast foods.
There are a few good flavors--mainly the classic flavors. But most of the new flavors are, indeed, flavorless cardboard. And they stopped making my favorites--cinnamon roll and apple fritter.
How about absolutely not?
I guess it depends on whether or not you think being transgender is a choice or not.AMA authors argue for tax funded UTERUS transplants
An American Medical Association (AMA) article suggested that taxpayers should subsidize uterus transplants worth up to $300,000 to help transgender women get pregnant.www.dailymail.co.uk
How about absolutely not?
I can't imagine why anyone in their right mind would choose the lifestyle of a heroin addict, but people do it every day. I'm not suggesting that gender dysphoria isn't a real thing; it most certainly is, but the idea that every single trans person out there has this malady is preposterous. We don't always know why people do the things they do, but this feels like the logical starting point to take when someone "comes out" as trans. Is is true gender dysphoria or just some poor sap with abandonment issues who is desperate seeking approval or affection? It sure feels to me like few are interested in making the distinction, but considering the 40% suicide rate that comes with it, I think it's very important.
No one chooses to be a heroin addict. They choose to get high and for a myriad of reasons they become addicted.
Being trans is not a "malady" in need of a cure.
Who cares? I suspect the vast majority of trans people are genuine gender dysphoria. Those are the people I'm interested in seeing get the help they need.
it never ceases to amaze me how willingly folks flock to these moronsWasn’t sure where to put this.
