    Thank you Jack Chick. I haven't finished reading the letter, but I know it's good having gotten to this line:

    As one who is a former "vampire," now set free by the power of the Cross of Christ, I have a certain vested interest in this issue which goes beyond the academic.

    Alison, with regards to the link on student government, and the related Gateway article, not to play Devil's advocate (although that urge has come up with increasing frequency in recent posts), but it sounds like you want to have your cake and eat it too. What he posted was wrong and, as pointed out, public officials should be careful what they write, when it's available to the public, but if the basis of his removal is that he was (probably indirectly) representing the SU, how is it that you can claim that Meagan doesn't represent ECOS? In both cases, you have people connected to organizations but expressing themselves individually. I'm not saying that Meagan represents ECOS, or that Knisely wasn't being a dou... uh... an assface in writing what he did. But given that Meagan doesn't represent ECOS in her capacity of making the complaint, how can Adam be representative of the SU, or his position therein, when writing in his blog?

    Um, yeah. Cake.

    The Law of Fives: "All things happen in Fives, or are divisible by or are multiples of Five, or are somehow directly or indirectly appropriate to 5."

    (e.g. The E(fifth letter of the alphabet)dmonton Oilers (Oiler has five letters) won five Stanley Cups, the last of which was in a year divisible by five)

    ... oo-wee-oo.

    okay... I got caught in some badly worded statements... aluminum is cited as the suspect cause of alzheimers... but people still use aluminum cans and cook in aluminum pots... so many other things are cited as suspect causes of other diseases or illnesses, but they're all still out there too...

    and... in your under arms, yes it is highly unlikely that the aluminum will actually do much, but it does get absorbed. And perhaps it isn't the aluminum that causes breast cancers, but they're starting to find links between chemical deodorant use and cancers... and the most prevalent location of breast cancers happens to be in the breast tissue in or near the under arm area... they've found the chemicals in deodorants lodged within those cancer cells too. Yeah, probably inconclusive evidence, and a new field of research, but still someting to be aware of... like those who first started thinking about lung cancer and the link to smoking or inhaling nasty materials like asbestos.

    And... Tom, perhaps Lush is focused more on women, and catering to their specific needs, so yes, I can see how you would have issues with their products, but there are other conventional organic/natural deodorant bars out there that you can buy at Shopper's or other such stores for pretty much the same price and effectiveness as your good old mennen bar, and they'll do as much or less damage to your clothes than that same mennen bar. Don't damn a company off the failure of one product meeting your needs (in a line of many)... and I'll try to keep that in mind too when thinking of damning any other sort of company. Besides, many different deodorants of different makes and companies can ruin clothes... think about all those white marks you can get from other brands, and the bleaching that can happen to your clothes as a result, and those can be from things like speed stick. oh, and on that, some toothpaste also bleaches clothes (just so you know!).

    Thanks Beck for the dihydrogenmonoxide link, much appreciated. I wasn't trying to be alarmist.. perhaps I came off that way. Sorry. It's just that no one ever talks about all the things that we put in and on our bodies as bad when some of them definitely are. Think about it... fragrances are VOCs (volatile organic compounds) some of which are HUGELY implicated in causing cancer. Nail polish often has formaldehyde or acetone in it - acknowledged carcinogens... but the charcoal on your barbecued chicken also is an acknowledged carcinogen. It's about choices and where everyone wants to draw their personal lines in the sand.

If you are wondering the image is of the Freedom Gundam. No the Gundam was not originally known as the French Gundam.
