United Serfdom- Cutting Foodstamps
Protests have been raging in North Carolina and its not Occupy. NAACP’s “Moral Monday’s” has transformed into a movement where hundreds have been handcuffed in the last two months in a show of solidarity for the countries poor. GOP have referenced the bible in their attacks on food stamps and programs for the poor. This has hit a chord in the black and religious bible belt of the south.
Contemporary GOP argue that the por need private charity, jobs, and self reliance instead of government handouts. This ignores the fact that their are a limited amount of wealthy donors(less than usual because of the recession and nearly stagnant recovery) and dollars as the price of living and food continues to skyrocket. GOP also ignore the fact that the jobs market is still recovering slowly, workers wages are at record lows compared to Ceo pay, and the workforce has to compete with a global workforce that can operate at a much cheaper man hour price.
The GOP wants to continue to give bush era tax cuts, while following the age old American policy of cuts to the nearly bankrupt Medicaid program,raise taxes on middle class families, and restrict access to the state run pre-k program. The NAACP has vowed to carry on the protests indefinitely until change is brought. The protesters know that change won’t be immediate, but they vow to continue to fight until the end.

Taxing the Poor- Cuts to Food Stamps?
I used to be sold on the idea of Obama, Democracy, and the American Dream. This was before I realized what Capitalism and our way of living meant. Capitalism is a system of inequality and a system built on division. It teaches us that we have to work hard, that we have to work to accumulate(super wealthy and super poor), and that it teaches us to value the individual in the hopes of personal success. Capitalism will never be a system for the people, because it is built on the principle that for one person to have, another person must lose.
The Dow has made remarkable returns since the economic downturn, businesses sit on huge stashes of cash, and the parties still disagree on how to fix a floundering U.S. economy as we rake up billions in government debt. Congress now begins on how much to cut from food entitlement programs mainly food stamps. After passing a farm bill that is aimed at protecting growers over the general population, even as the United States and most developed countries continue to produce more food than is consumed.
The bill passed in the Senate 66-27 and now heads to the House. Estimates range from 4 billion over 10 years to 20 billion over 10 years. The people who are supposed to have the best interests of the people decide to cut down on food assistance, during a time when jobs are hard to go by and product price inflation continues to outpace average worker wage growth. This amounts to a slap in the face of the poor as some corporations continue to legally pay no taxes but social programs such as education, food, and assistance for the poor continues to get taxed.

Wellness Drink – Nopalea
Wellness Drink – Nopalea
Have you heard of the wellness drink called Nopalea? This drink has been getting a lot of positive reviews from those who have tried it. Being a health conscious person, I actually gathered some information about the drink myself. According to the maker’s of the product, Nopalea reduce pain caused by inflammation, improve joint health, and reduce muscle swelling.
For me, the most interesting thing about this product is that it reduces pain caused by inflammation. I have been experiencing inflammation in my elbow for a few months now. I strongly believe it was caused by lifting weights. I’ve used heat pads for temporary relief and even tried supplements such as fish oil capsules and calcium tablets. Unfortunately the pain still exist.
My father is in his late 60′s and he is very active. Recently he was diagnosed with gout. It started in his hands and fortunately it was treated at an early stage. Nopalea maybe an option for my dad as well. He will need something to help keep his joints healthy at his stage of life. He does a lot of physical work such as mowing the lawn and cleaning carpet and I don’t see him quitting anytime soon.
Most of us experience muscle swelling from time to time. Whether it is caused by extended hours of hard labor, running that extra mile, or trying to keep up with your workout partner, your muscles will respond in a painful way. Have you ever heard the saying “No pain no gain”? I am a firm believer of that phrase, however reducing the pain is always a plus in my book.
I’m going to be honest with you guys, I haven’t tried Nopalea yet. However I have placed an order for a free bottle. Once I try the product and determine whether it works for me or not, I will gladly share my experience with you. Thanks for reading this post.

Bike Riding Tips
Many people are wearing riding helmets for added protection during bike rides in our over populated city of Atlanta. We have few bike trials here, so many bikers have to ride their bikes on the street along with traffic. The worst times of the day to ride are around 8 to 9am and 4 to 6pm. The volume of traffic is at it’s peak during those times. From 7 to 8 pm are the times I usually ride my bike. for safer biking, consider riding at an local park if there’s one in your neighborhood.

Reduce Stress In Your Life
Causes of Stress:
Stress differs for different people..BUT, it is still a matter of being aware of personal thresholds. However, some common areas that cause stress in our daily lives include our work situations. This is common in most people and cuts across gender and occupation. Sometimes, the home situation can add to your stress levels especially where there are personal bills that keep piling up. Health related issues could also be a cause of stress, which in turn produces even more health related issues.
