If someone is going to be a judge in a beauty pageant, they must be neutral and unbiased. Many have heard the story and comments of what happened the other week when this shameless man asked Carrie Prejean if every state should make gay marriage legal.

When he disagreed with her answer, he publicly attack her immediately afterward. He should be ashamed of himself. He may be an adult, but this man is nothing more than a teenager who never graduated from highschool.

Grow up Perez Hilton, please have some respect for other people's opinions.

One of the great things about going out in Minneapolis or any other city that bans indoor smoking is that you don't come home smelling like cigarette smoke. I absolutely can't stand my clothes, hair, and skin smelling like that wretched stench. If someone wants to smoke, they simply step outside and do so without affecting everyone else.

That's one of the worst things about moving back to Atlanta. I enjoy going out with friends and having some food or a beverage in town. However, in most places you find smokers poisoning the air everyone else is breathing. I have no problem with them smoking, just don't let it affect the air I'm breathing.

To all those commuters out there... How often do you sit in your car staring at headlights in front of you thinking: "There's got to be a better way."

What if after then light turns green all cars begain moving at once like a train Instead of waiting to go successively?

What if people had blinders like horses so they don't rubberneck, slow down, and look at accidents?

What if you knew the traffic patterns ahead of time and could navigate to the fastest moving lanes?

What if you could predict the optimal departure time to achieve minimum driving time?

So many ways our system could be improved. It will probably be 20+ years before we see any real progress. We need changes now!

Did you know that if you ask your dentist about the safety of mercury in amalgam tooth fillings, he may lose his dental license if he says it's not safe?

Try it. Ask your dentist and see what he says. The ADA controls his business and what he's allowed to say.

New studies show that when dentists work on your fillings, it releases toxic mercury gas from one of the most dangerous metals known to man.

Mercury has a negative vapor pressure, so it's always releasing toxic gases.

Even those new, low emission, "green" curly light bulbs contain mercury. If one of those breaks, you have to call poison control and immediately evacuate the premises. Definitely not a good thing.

Do some research and have them removed for your own health.

One thing that I've always disagreed with is the required fees for paying your utility bills online. I used Xcel and CenterPoint Energy in Minneapolis for a little less than a year. I've always paid by check via US Postal service because they charge you up to $5 every time you pay online. This is quite ridiculous.

So, I pay by putting my check in the mail. Yes, I do have to pay for a stamp, but it's still cheaper than paying online. You also have to wait for the check to get there which is also a pain.

Taking electronic payments online is with no fees should be the standard.

Now don't get me started on the Tickermaster convenience fee either.

My sister recommend a movie to my family: The Beautiful Truth. It's quite an insightful story about the Gerson therapy and how Max was able to cure cancers and other diseases using organic foods, juices, and other methods to accomplish such feats.

The movie goes into such great depths like:

1. MSG is in almost every food we eat. The FDA has allowed food processing companies to get away with this by letting them hide it under other names. How MSG leads to autism (pdf flowchart): MSGTruth

2. The toxic effects of aspartame, which is in Diet coke, chewing gum, Listerine strips, and more.

3. How the ADA will terminate a dentist's license if they speak out against one of the most toxic metals known to man, mercury, which is almost every amalgam and filling. Just ask your dentist if having mercury in your mouth is harmful. If they want to keep their license, they will not say it's bad.

4. How the multi-national company Monsanto wants to rid the world of heirloom seeds and replace them all with genetically modified seeds that withstand their pesticides better. That way, they sell more pesticides and make more money.

This is some serious stuff. Our health is being manipulated just for our money. Can the world ever break free?

Please watch the movie. It's on Netflix streaming.

I thought of this idea while I was looking up some directions with Google maps: Wouldn't it be great to display driving times depending on departure time?

For example, if you leave at 6PM on a Friday in Atlanta traffic, it usually takes x amount of time to drive this route. You could then adjust the departure time and you can see how that affects total drive time.

It's an interesting idea and would be great in cities with heavy traffic. Google, care to implement?
