You guys act as if it was a crime to be a gal. As if one day by drinking the wrong water your manhood is (pouty) all... gone... Come on guys, don’t get all knocked up about it, until you try it. Maybe one day, you’ll have to. ;)

As for the Roman Empire, If you include the eastern part of the Roman empire, Byzantium, all told, it arguably lasted over 1,650 years. I think we can rule out a sudden rash of lead poisoning. It was Islamic poisoning.

Several years ago, I read a book about the effects of flouride in our water supply. It was called, “The Flouride Deception”. Now I can’t remember exactly what the book said, but it was pretty compelling research.

The likely causes are: pesticides and other agricultural chemicals; pthalates in plastics; and the chemical residue of birth control pills in human waste.

True; yet the decline of ROME and its leadership has long been ‘linked’ to lead poisoning in the ruling classes.

Whether entirely true or centuries-old urban legend, the Romans did use lead/pewter implements.

I read a story a while back about the birth control pills in the water harming fish populations...an environmentalist was interviewed and started hemming and hawing. He actually said something like “Well, this may be true, but we can’t reasonably expect people to change their lifestyles.”

Nah. It’s just common sense to destroy entire fish populations to protect some degenerate’s right to sterile fornication.

Definitely! Where has all the testosterone gone? As a woman I can tell you, it is short supply. Soy is a big deal, try to find something in your cabinets without it. Time to go back to meat & potatoes.. Not fast food meat, ok. That & start shooting and killing stuff again! All of my girl friends are asking the same question.
I think I have contributed as a wife by being more like a mother & taking care of everything.. That is my New Year’s resolution! It is also in my nature to lead & take on responsibilities that rightly belong to my husband. His turn!
