Skillern HotSprings

As Memorial Day weekend is only hours away, I thought I should send some of the great pictures we took LAST weekend before it was too late. We camped at Big Smoky creek like we did last year and did our annual hike up the river to Skillern Hot Springs. We had a GREAT time and this year Skillern has been fixed up very nice. Complete with a drain pipe and plug to fill the pool up much higher than has been possible in the past. I've included some pictures for your viewing pleasure. Click here for a map from Fairfield to the Big Smoky Camp ground.

When a corporation has a monopoly on your LIFE!

The war on vitamins is about to start. Just wait. This is the beginning: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070516/ap_on_he_me/vitamins_prostate

Now that the FDA has the power to “regulate” vitamins, expect to see a lot more press about how Vitamins are bad and Pharmaceuticals are good. Vitamins are bad because they are made by god and perfected by nature in every way. Pharmaceuticals are good because scientists make them and they are good for our “economy”. They also help finance lobbying organizations that make it possible for 1% of our population to get rich beyond belief. Woohooo!!! FDA good! Nature bad! Oh, and the bonus is that it is ILLEGAL for our government to negotiate with Drug companies on prices. Therefore these for profit, public companies are left with the responsibility of giving us a fair price, which currently is over a 3,000% mark up! Oh, and some might say, “oh well, if the prices are too high here, I’ll just buy them from Canada”. WRONG. It is also illegal to purchase drugs from any other country except the USA. So much for freedom eh?! Talk about a monopoly on your LIFE!
