Have you ever noticed there are certain topics that are debated endlessly when it comes to

Sure, we debate this topic as well.
And believe it or not, this issue is even MORE full of myths, lies

I don’t doubt the importance of health care and the mission of the government, but their attention should be directed toward improving the health and wellness of our youth.

I am in Chicago attending a seminar for a few days. I don’t have a ton of time however, I’ve got something really bugging me and I just have to get it off my chest.
