4 simple sentences --  Great summary by a Notre Dame University Engineer... Here are the   10,535   pages of Obama Care condensed to 4 simple sentences.  1.   In order to insure the uninsured, we first have to un-insure the in-sured.   2.   Next, we require the newly un- insured to be re -insured.   3.   To re -insure the newly un- insured, they are required to pay extra charges to be re -insured.    4.   The extra charges are required so that the original   insured, who became  un-insured, and then became re -insured, can pay enough extra so that the original un-insured can be in sured, so it will be 'free-of-charge' to them.

The heroic bomb-sniffing rats of Africa that are helping save thousands ...

Throughout the world, places that have been involved in war and/or civil strife often have large   minefields that still need clearing. In 2013, it was estimated that there was a global average of around nine mine-related deaths every day. The situation is especially dire in Africa.   Typically, clearing a minefield involves men in body armor walking in very precise lines with metal detectors. Anything (from a rusty nail to an old ammo cartridge) that sets the detectors off must be investigated before moving on. A new method of bomb detection using rats, however, is flipping this process on its head. A Belgian NGO called APOPO has developed a way to train African pouched rats (named for the storage pouch in their cheeks) to sniff out bombs quickly and safely.     They used this rat because it has an incredibly fine-tuned sense of smell and a long lifespan (8-9 years) to yield returns on the nine months of training they undergo.     They're called HeroRats, and not one has died in the line of duty since the program started in 1997.     The average mine requires 5 kg (roughly 11 pounds) of weight to trigger an explosion, but even the biggest of these rats are only around 1.5 kg (3.3 pounds).     Since they're trained to sniff out explosives exclusively, they aren't distracted by other metal objects the way human minesweepers are.     They can effectively search 200 square meters in less than 20 minutes.     A team of humans would need around 25 hours to do the same job.     Since they're in the African sun a lot, the HeroRats get sunscreen to keep them cancer free.     If a rat does get cancer, it receives full medical treatment.     The rats are "paid" in avocados, peanuts, bananas and other yummy, healthy treats.     After about 4-5 years on the job (or whenever they lose interest in working), they're allowed to retire.     Retirement consists of eating all the tasty fruit their little hero heart's desire.   ​Outstanding.​

This "something to read at your next party" seems to make more sense every time it makes the rounds

"If we concentrated on the really important stuff in life, there would be a shortage of fishing poles"  By Junius P. Long   Food For Thought:   If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but not for being in the country illegally,  you live in a country run by idiots.     If you have to get your parent's permission to go on a field trip or to take an aspirin in school, but not to get an abortion,  you live in a country run by idiots.     If you have to show identification to board an airplane, cash a check, buy liquor or check out a library book, but not to vote who runs the government,  you live in a country run by idiots.     If the government wants to ban stable, law-abiding citizens from owning gun magazines with more than ten rounds, but gives 20 F-16 fighter jets to the crazy leaders in Egypt ,  you live in a country run by idiots.     If, in the largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but not a 24-ounce soda because 24-ounces of a sugary drink might make you fat,  you live in a country run by idiots.     If an 80-year-old woman can be strip-searched by the TSA but a woman in a hijab is only subject to having her neck and head searched,  you live in a country run by idiots.     If your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more,  you live in a country run by idiots.     If a seven year old boy can be thrown out of school   for saying his teacher is cute, but hosting a sexual exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable,  you live in a country run by idiots.     If hard work and success are met with higher taxes and more government intrusion, while not working is rewarded with EBT cards, WIC checks, Medicaid,   subsidized housing and free cell phones,  you live in a country run by idiots.     If the government's plan for getting people back to work is to incentivize NOT working with 99 weeks of unemployment checks and no requirement to prove they applied but cannot find work,  you live in a country run by idiots.     If being stripped of the ability to defend yourself makes you more safe according to the government,  you live in a country run by idiots.   If you are offended by this article,   I'll bet you voted for the idiots who are running our great country into the ground.  DON'T MAKE THAT MISTAKE AGAIN!!!
