3rd section - "Better than sex"

letting people die so that young girls will think twice about (but still go through with) having sex.

just a sidenote that i keep bringing up from my psychology course, the egocentricity of early adolescence and puberty prevents children from seeing the consequesnces of thier actions in the big picture. "The world revolves around them," and I know you and I both have thought in the past "It will never happen to me."

But if the bill succeeds, and the rate of teen deaths due to HPV increases, as well as the rate of teen pregnancies (as i'm sure already is, though i have no evidence) maybe the right-side will reconsider (not likely). The religious conservatists are going to be responsible for the extinction of the human race, i think.

Big Jeans

Big people have big jeans. It's a law of nature. An interesting coincidence is that the bigger a pair of jeans, the bigger the back pockets are. Imagine, if you will, a size 48 pair of jeans with the pockets from a 32. So big jeans = big pockets.
Now, big pockets means a wallet sinks further into it than "normal," thus making it harder to retrieve to pay for McDonald's. It seems, then, that obesity should be a self-defeating cycle.

Dinner tonight

Dinner:
Marinated thinly sliced chicken breast in sun-dried tomato dressing with added garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt.
Rendered about 1/4 cup bacon with 1/2 cup red onion, sliced.
Added chicken, and sautéed until completely cooked.
Added alfredo sauce, and brought to temperature.
Immediately before serving, stirred in finely chopped jalapeno (to stay crisp).
Served over fettuccini and topped with fresh (cold) tomatoes.

Dessert:
"French fry" shaped Fuji apples, topped with brown sugar, and toasted.
Served in a whole wheat tortilla with chunky peanut butter and cinnamon.
Topped with cool-whip.

coffee: hot and cold

This is not about which temperature is better.
The question I have is why does hot coffee taste like crap when it cools off, and iced coffee taste like crap when it warms up? Is there a fundamental difference in the molecular structure of the coffee when brewed at different temperatures, or is it simply that luke-wark coffee tastes like crap?
