Miscellaneous Rambling

Strange days indeed: Detroit casino sponsors garden to produce seedlings for Detroiters to replant throughout the city. * * * * * * * I'm stunned at the growth of urban gardening. Last week while driving home from northern Michigan, I saw a billboard for a "rural urban agriculture" tradeshow. It's a great development, with absolutely no downsides that I can discern. * * * * * * * No matter how discouraged I get at the federal government, a significant part of me says you can't keep the American spirit down. Urban farming is just one symptom of that relentless spirit that de Tocqueville marvelled at. * * * * * * * The New Evangelization, I suppose: Fraternitas, a Catholic online pub. * * * * * * * The Patient Will See You Now. The transforming business of health care. One of the best Econtalk podcasts of the past few years. Fascinating. Based on some online research after listening to this podcast, I think I can get my cholesterol checked for under $40. * * * * * * * Have breast cancer concerns? Pay $249 for some peace of mind . . . or notice that you need to be extra vigilant. It beats the $4,000 that the mainstream medical establishment charges for such tests. * * * * * * * Tell Congress: Pass a Constitutional Amendment defending traditional marriage (sign the petition). Quixotic? Probably, but no more so than voting every four years and thinking it makes a difference.
