I had a Hindu friend explain to me once that becuase they were more than likely American cows, not Indian cows they weren't sacred and therefore he could and did eat burgers from Wendies, McD's, etc. So I supposed following his logic the answer would be yes. Assuming he wasnt working at a burger joint in India.

Insomniacs...your tricks for staying asleep?
by restrangled inpersonally i have tried ambien,....yes puts me out but i am up in 2 to 3 hours.....heavy doses borrowed from those taking it for years.
they are shocked it dosen't keep me down.
i just wake up woozey....i hate it.. i can fall asleep easy but just dont stay asleep....its absolutely awful.. i wake up probably 3 times a night if not more, ....i take the dog out, whether he wants to or not, go out smoke a cig and then go back to sleep.. what i find helps me is very fresh ironed sheets with lavendar scent.....that will give me 3 hours without waking up.. the blankets can't be too cold or too hot,..which is almost impossible to get perfect,....the pillows cant be too hard or too soft....i have at least 6 on the bed to choose from..... what the hell is wrong with me?

I have found that doing a good hard work out, something along the lines of running for 45 minutes, and then 15 minutes of some strength training every day, skipping naps in the afternoon and avoiding caffiene at all cost after about noon time helps me alot. Sometimes to a 900 Mg Ibuprofen helps as it dulls the aches and pains which might bother you and wake you up at night.

Well for the most part I think its a horrible idea to have government run healthcare for the general population. But is the system broke as is, yes. The only thing I would say would be contructive ways to deal with it is to lessen the role of insurance companies in the whole system and minimize malpractice litigation.
There was one doctor from back home that took to taking cash payments at substantially lower rates and to making his patients sign an understanding that he had nothing but the minimum liability insurance so in good faith he would do his absolute best to give quality medical care but if being a human he made a mistake, that suing him beyond the minimum amount of the coverage he had it would personally bankrupt him and that he would not authorize his insurance company to ever settled.
At the time for several years his business was booming and all the patients were raving. I wonder what its like now.

Sure let him return.
Is he a horrible person? Yeah
That is why I will never buy any of his or whatever team he lands with merchandise. And I would hope that others would do the same and thus the people would speak and he would have to do whatever line of work his college education prepared him for, hopefully that is something he can survive on.

I can see your example being the explanation for most of restrictions of female clothing coming from the WTS or the Elders. Jealous they cann't have it so they don't want to see it so they will shame the woman into covering it up. Its not about modesty so much as jealousy.
But at least you are showing signs you learned. Most of us guys do. We like it when they girls are all hot and sexy, and if we can get them, which unfortunately we often don't, then we get even more controling and try to force them not to wear that stuff becuase we don't want other guys thinking exactly what we were thinking before they were ours.
I say let women dress the way they want. If I like I will pursue them. If they I can win them over then I would want them to keep on being the way they were when I pursued them so and therefore will not try to change or control them.

Not to play to many word games or whatever but the fundamental problem with our healthcare system is not the healthcare itself but the manner in which it is paid for. Insurance companies are to me one of the necessary evils I wish we could find a way of living without, kind of like credit cards. They do have some benefits but it takes more self discipline than many people have to be as potentially positive as they are made out to be. Insurance is companies are in the business to do one thing, take in as much money in premiums as possible, and pay as little out in claims as possible. Now ideally its sold as a way to mitigate the financial hard ship of paying out huge amounts of cash for things that are supposed to rarely happen. But it has become a way for all healthcare cost to be managed and its being abused by just about all concerned. From the patient who refuses to shop for price competitiveness and either procrastinate making matters worse or go to the Doc for every little sniffle, to the Dr. in CYA mode that 1) orders alot of test that do not meet the return on effectiveness to cost test and 2) tries to make up for losses on people who don't pay on those that do, and then the insurance company that looks for any possible loophole to get out of honoring a policy claim or bullying the Doc into changing his Dx to something a little cheaper for the insurance company.
The Army system works but I don't know that alot of people would be pleased with the sacrifices. Rationed care, long waits unless it involved life, limb or eye sight and Docs more inclined to be a little more tougher on the patient, ie telling them straight out they need to tough out little illnesses or minor aches and pains. The other thing that makes the Army system work a little bit better is that the Army enforces weight and physical fitness standards, and is slowly starting to regulate smoking and dipping, as well as tackling alcohol useage. They can literally control everything you eat, the amount of physical activity you have to do and they regularly drug test every soldier. Yeah I get free health care but look at everything I give up. Now I do it becuase I voluntarily gave up certain rights when I signed my contract. And I won't even go into the problems with the VA, another wonderfully run government health care provider. But to make a government run health care system work, those are the kind of things that will have to be a part of the plan to really make it something that does not bankrupt us.
