They named their commune the Boones Farm commune, christened the house with a bottle of Boones farm and a bag of weed.

Ohio at one point ordered it off the shelves because of its formaldehyde content. Probably its safest ingredient.

and growers to produce a consistent wine from year to year. It a 'safe' but good wine. I love a nice big chilled glass in the summer. Never surprised but always satisfied. Since when does wine drinking always have to be challenging? What's wrong with just enjoying a glass of one's favorite wine????

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you, too!

Look up "The Poisoner's Handbook: Murder and the Birth of Forensic Medicine in Jazz Age New York" by Deborah Blum for details on the reality of this scenario.

They split their heads open (because there were no safety regulations on the proper height of a metal bar), and then bleed to death (because municipalities could not afford fire/rescue/ambulance services).

...don't get it how men who read this comic book trash are elevated to positions of power.

I actually once tried to read it, and almost died laughing, because that senile old bat thought that the second law of thermodynamics didn't apply to the "inventions" of brain dead capitalists.

The only excuse for reading Ayn Rand and taking that tired, mindless automaton seriously is that one is not old enough for his or her acne to have cleared up.

Eddie Munster/Ryan should be disqualified from any form of power for being so puerile as to have bought into this crap.

The objectivist philosophy that 99% of us discarded in high school. High school! Not even college level material. I guess that might indicate that these three cretins are part of the 1%.
