Jim Pavlik replied to Pat Coyle's discussion Has America lost its moral compass?"Actually mood altering substances were totally banned in 1984 because they generate split loyalties and discourage communal activities. I don't remember well, but I don't think mood altering substances came up in animal farm at all.…"
Jim Pavlik replied to Pat Coyle's discussion Can Government programs solve obesity in America?"You can find the link I already posted in this thread. Most of the diseases people think about when they think about obesity (heart disease, stroke, diabetes) are probably not caused by diabetes. Rather they are co-symptoms of the underlying problem…"
Jim Pavlik replied to Pat Coyle's discussion Can Government programs solve obesity in America?"Yeah, I wasn't challenging the wisdom of the recommendation, I've read my Pollan. I was just curious why it kept popping up here in response to the obesity question. HFCS used to pop up all over the place in obesity conversations but that…"
Jim Pavlik replied to Pat Coyle's discussion Can Government programs solve obesity in America?"This issues of subsidies and high fructose corn syrup keeps coming up. I think corn subsidies are bad and I think sugar tariffs are bad. I don't know if removing either one would eliminate obesity although it will help make freer markets and…"
Jim Pavlik replied to Pat Coyle's discussion Can Government programs solve obesity in America?"Given my comments here and on a previous thread am finding it hard to type the following sentence:
I agree with Sean Murray. This is the wrong question.
Obesity is not the problem. Paul Campos is probably the leading academic on this but he's…"
Jim Pavlik replied to Pat Coyle's discussion Can Government programs solve obesity in America?"Obese people in this country die of malnutrition. Obesity is not a sign of being well fed , it is a sign of being overfed. Fat and sugar contain calories but not essential ingredients necessary for life."

- Why join Smaller Indiana? What are you hoping to experience here ?
- As SmallerIndiana has grown it has gotten more interesting and more useful, which is the exact opposite of how most social networking sites develop. Sites like Facebook and MySpace bog users down with social cruft that increases, rather than specializes, the type of information its users receive. I like that I have more control over what information shows up on this digital doorstep.

Some Babble on the Babbling Banshee
Like with my review of Good Grief, Sidney there were bits to like and bits not to like in The Babbling Banshee. I like to get the bits not to like out of the way first because they're not worth dwelling on.

Tastes Funny
Initially my plan was to enjoy the outdoors between my viewings of Good Grief, Sidney and The Babbling Banshee unfortunately it was blisteringly hot outside and if I had lingered too long I would have been compelled to spend the day in blissful hedonism at The Old Point--by which I mean partaking of the drink Ben Franklin thought was "proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." I… Continue

Good Grief, Sidney--A Solid Effort All 'Round
The premise of Good Grief, Sidney is simple: Walter's wife has died and in order to come to terms with his grief he has written a play. The antagonist in the play is Sidney, Walter's atavistic other self. Walter feels he owes it to himself and to his wife to remain the aggrieved widower; Sidney however, wants to get laid. He's not so much an alter-ego as an alter-id.
The actor playing Walter was nervous and awkward,… Continue

The Best of the Blizzard at the Phoenix Basile Theatre
Sitting in the front and center-most table at the Phoenix Basile Theatre for last night's viewing of The Best of the Blizzard there is no way I could have live-blogged the show for the Indy Fringe Festival/Smaller Indiana crossover even if I'd remembered to bring the lappy, which I didn't. I also didn't bring… Continue
