The study, conducted by William P. Ruger and Jason ReSorens and released earlier this year, explores what the authors claim is the "first-ever comprehensive ranking of American states on their public policies affecting individual freedoms in the economic, social, and personal spheres."

SUPER SIZE ME THE MOVIE and SUBWAY FRESH FIT MEAL
I just recently got to watch SUPER SIZE ME, the movie about Mr. Spurlock who documents what happens to his health when he eats McDonalds fast food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, for a month. Besides gaining something like 27 pounds. He's right. There IS an EPIDEMIC of OBESITY and DIABETES! We Americans cannot allow ourselves to go to fat!
In our busy lives, cooking seems to take up too much time. We trade fat, salt, sugar (even added to the salads!) to buy ourselves a few hours off in the kitchen. A recent trip to SUBWAY sandwich shop was revealing. They had napkins that printed out the caloric content of some of their sandwiches versus Burger King and McDonalds. So it looks like luncheon meats are a better alternative to burgers laced with additives. The napkin is printed with the words SUBWAY FRESH FIT MEAL TM. Their Veggie Delight is 265 calories, 3 g of fat. BIG MAC R VALUE MEAL is 940 calories and 50 g fat. WHOPPER R VALUE MEAL is 1030 calories and 59 g fat. NO DOUBT THE FRIES and COKE add significantly the calories and fat of a VALUE MEAL.
The information on the napkin suggests it is C DOCTOR'S ASSOCIATES INC.

INDIANA MINT RELEASES NEW LINCOLN PENNY!
Hot news for you coin collectors and the rest of us who simply USE AMERICAN MONEY! Click on the link title above to get to the Indystar.com news!
excerpt:
"Some waited for hours to get rolls of the newly minted coins that depict on their reverse "tails" side a teenage Lincoln reading a book while taking a break from rail splitting.
Lincoln lived from age 7 to 21 in Spencer County in an area about 30 miles northeast of Evansville that was then little more than a densely wooded frontier town.
"The 14 years Lincoln spent here in Indiana gave him the skills and character, compassion and fortitude, to lead the nation through one of the darkest periods in our history," Mint Director Edmond C. Moy told the crowd.
