    Default Keeping the World Safe From Cheerios!

    Apparently, there is some subjective views regarding their claim to lower cholesterol....

    Stunning shocker.

    Better get Inspector Gadget on it right away!
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

    legal eze, specific wording on their advertising. let em work it out.
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    Nothing. I just like the idea of the "War on Cheerios"! We could finally win one of these "wars" on nouns...

    Trouble is that once we prevail in the War on Cheerios we'll then have to take on the Cheerioats, Tasty Oats, TasteOs . . .

    Hehehe, that reminds me of when in the novel Catch-22 the main Character Yossarian is performing censoring duty while recovering from combat wounds in the hospital. He gets bored after a while and decides to declare war on an adverbs and censors them from all letters, which needless to say, made for some humerous malapropisms.
