A good article for Current-Events-Challenged individuals such as myself, on the topic of the recent Egyptian Revolution.

Cause I won't run
No, I won't be no runaway.”

Bennerisms:
It turns out that house pets need good nutrition, too.
Our friends recently got a puppy, who subsequently (on the day it received simultaneous de-worming medication and a vaccination) developed diarrhea that continued 24 hours per day for (too) many days in a row.
Dear Family,
I am reading “Deep Nutrition: Why Your Genes Need Traditional Foods,” by Cate Shanahan. Also, am continuing to read Weston Price. And I tell you, I am tired of the word “degenerate.”
I also am totally intrigued, and want to understand: what does it mean to be human and _healthy_? How does one do what we are, in the end, unofficially programmed to do: conceive and birth and raise healthy children?
Dear Family,
“...Pippi, can you tell me what seven and five are?”
Pippie, astonished and dismayed, looked at [the teacher] and said, “Well, if you don't know that yourself, you needn't think I'm going to tell you.”
All the children stared in horror at Pippi, and the teacher explained that one couldn’t answer that way in school.
“I beg your pardon,” said Pippi contritely. “I didn't know that. I won't do it again.”
“No, let us hope not,” said the teacher. “And now I will tell you that seven and five are twelve.”
“Cooking is not seen as a universal skill of self-sufficiency and adulthood... We are surprised when someone doesn't know how to drive a car, but we are not at all surprised when someone doesn't know how to cook. Large corporations are more than happy to keep us in this state of helplessness. It creates a huge market for factory-processed products and fast food.”

Dear Family,
Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child
Listen to the DON'TS
Listen to the SHOULDN'TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me--
Anything can happen, child,
ANYTHING can be.
--Shel Silverstein, “Where the Sidewalk Ends”

Yet another well-referenced critique of “The China Study,” by Chris Masterjohn.
Dear Family,

Next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all...”
