<p>You know, my first real revelation came in my senior year of  High School when my English teacher asked my class to do a report for the final quarter of the last year of High school.  Naturally&#8230;I picked Marijuana.  The next 2  months after that I spent a considerable amount of time researching and studying all available information on the topic.  I started to realize something very early on in my studies.  Everything I was taught about Marijuana&#8230;was a lie.</p>
<p>This was a tough thing for me to grasp because up until then I had at least had some hope that what society and the school system was teaching me was true. Turns out..there were a lot more things going on that needed to be looked at a little bit closer in regards to the former and current legalities surrounding my favorite plant&#8230;Marijuana.  In any event I ended up getting an A- on my paper&#8230;It deserved an A++.  I remember my English teacher at the time pulled me aside and commented on my oral presentation of my findings. She said &#8220;Mike, I don&#8217;t agree with any drug use, but your report was great and I can&#8217;t dispute anything you said&#8230;.and this lady was a tight ass.  So needless to say it made me think a bit more..</p>
<p>I started to think about how It was public knowledge that 500,000 people a year die from smoking Cigarettes and Alcohol, which as we all know are perfectly legal and socially acceptable, yet in all its recorded usage, over 10,000 years of humans using Cannabis, there was not 1 recorded death related to Marijuana use.</p>
<p>I started to see that in our past America was quite fond of the magical plant known as Hemp / Marijuana.  In fact, at one time American citizens were actually required to grow marijuana.  Then I found out all the reasons why it had been made illegal and started to think how it was morally &amp; ethically wrong to be doing what the Federal Government of this country was doing. What they were doing to ordinary, peaceful, happy, empathetic, non-violent citizens who were simply choosing to continue to use a scientifically proven substance to help enhance the enjoyment of their lives.  I remember sitting back smoking a joint the summer after I graduated from High School laughing and thinking I had uncovered something that was so rediculous and insane it HAD to be changed in the next couple years&#8230;right around the same time proposition 215 was being passed in California.</p>
<p>Sadly enough though, here we all are still, waiting for the Federal Government of the United States of America to pull its enormous head from deep within its ass.</p>
<p>Please do some research and open your mouth and speak.  Speak up for the environmental power Hemp / Marijuana has for us as a people.  Understand the hundreds of health benefits Marijuana has for everything from Cancer, Anxiety all the way to addiction its self.  Have you ever quit smoking Marijuana after smoking all day every day for years&#8230;.I have.  There are NO PHYSICAL WITHDRAWLS WHATSOEVER.  Do people understand this or am I the only one that has figured this out?  I need your help.  This country and your people need your help.  We are American citizens and we have the right on a state by state basis to say NO to the Federal Government.  NO we will not allow you to violate our civil rights. NO you will not arrest and ruin our lives over &#8220;one of the safest, most therapeutic substances known to man&#8221;.  I will NOT allow you to tell us we can smoke your government subsidized cigarettes sprayed with radioactive pesticides and pollutants.. and not smoke Marijuana.  NO you will not ruin MY fucking life because YOU have been misguided.</p>
<p>We ALL need to speak up people&#8230;&#8230; the time is now.  To see more weed rants on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/true101story">my Youtube channel click here.</a></p>
<p>If you are having problems with drug addiction it might be a good idea to check yourself into a <a href="http://lapalomatreatment.com/treatment/prescription-drug-treatment.htm">prescription drug rehab.</a></p>
<p>ONE LOVE.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Celebrate Earth Day earlier, by starting a new Earth-friendly habit. Take a stock of how green you&#8217;re living and set some personal goals for a greener life and a greener you. Try walking through your house and making a list of opportunities in each room, then do the same with the garage, your yard and your workplace.</p>
<p>Need some help here are a few tips:</p>
<p><strong>Snack attack:</strong> Snack-size products mean more packing waste. Buy in bulk or choose the largest  container possible, and dole out single servings into reusable containers.<br />
<strong>Strip Tease:</strong> Power strips enable you to plug a room&#8217;s worth of electronics into one place and unplug them all with a single yank or flip of the switch when not in use.<br />
<strong>Dry Idea:</strong> When your bath and kitchen towels are on their last legs, give them a second life  by cutting them up to make dishcloths, washcloths, or dust rags.<br />
<strong>Bar None:</strong> For showering and hand washing, skip the liquid soap in favor of a bar-less packaging, and just as much cleaning power. Choose a mild soap made from organic and fair-trade vegetables ingredients, with no synthetic colors, fragrances, or antibacterial additives.<br />
And for you <strong>meat cleavers</strong> in the world aim to cut out your meat intake. If that feels impossible, start with one meatless day a week, and work up from there.<br />
<a href="http://true101story.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/eath-hands.jpg"><img src="http://true101story.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/eath-hands-300x300.jpg" alt="" title="earth hands" width="400" height="400" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-474" /></a><br />
Being green matters. If you don&#8217;t do it for me do it for Earth Day and all the other 364 days of the year. The power to save the planet is in our hands. Don&#8217;t drop the ball. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jamie Oliver is here to start a revolution. The impassioned chef is taking on obesity, heart disease and diabetes in the USA, where our nation&#8217;s children are the first generation NOT expected to live as long as their parents. Now that&#8217;s scary! Jamie starts his revolution by visiting the most obese city in the most obese region in the most obese county in the world- Huntington, West Virginia. As a county we can follow Jamie&#8217;s revolution on his new series Jamie Oliver&#8217;s Food Revolution on ABC.</p>
<p><a href="http://true101story.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/fr.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-468" title="fr" src="http://true101story.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/fr.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>On the show&#8217;s premiere, we meet the Edwards family whose diet consist of bacon, eggs and cheese with deep-fried biscuit doughnuts with chocolate drizzle for breakfast; pizza, french fries, and corn dogs for lunch; and possibly take -out or fast food for dinner. The Edwards have four children  3 boys and 1 girl. Their twelve year old son, Justin, visited the doctor for the first time in a long time. There he found out he was morbidly obese and has a high insulin level and if he continues to eat the way he does he will soon have diabetes which could result in kidney failure, blindness, high blood pressure, arthritis, etc. A twelve year old, a 6th grader shortening his life 20 or 30 years. Justin is one of many- one of three kids are overweight or obese. Who&#8217;s fault is this?  It is now more than ever that we as a country need to  improve the quality of food available for our youth and making healthy foods more affordable and accessible for families.</p>
<p>Through his series, Jamie is inviting viewers to take a stand and change the way America eats, in our home kitchens, schools and workplaces. That&#8217;s how your start a Revolution: Real People Real Change.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #00ff00;">This is about life and death.</span></strong><strong><span style="color: #00ff00;"><span style="color: #00ff00;">I</span>f you want to get more involved in Jamie&#8217;s revolution, you can. <a href="http://www.jamieoliver.com/campaigns/jamies-food-revolution/petition"></a></span></strong></p>

<p>Look close. You may be staring at the end of cancer. Those tiny black dots are nanobots delivering a lethal blow to a cancerous cell, effectively killing it. The first trial on humans have been a success, with no side-effects. Mark Davis is head of the research team that created the nanobot anti-cancer army at the California Institute of Technology.The 70-nanometer attack bots are made to attach the cancerous cell&#8217;s surface and carry a piece of RNA called small-interfering RNA (siRNA), which deactivates the production of a protein, starving the malign cell to death. Davis&#8217;s team are conducting additional trials to make sure that there are no side-effects whatsoever.</p>
<p><a href="http://true101story.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/flesh.eating.nanobots.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-457" title="flesh.eating.nanobots" src="http://true101story.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/flesh.eating.nanobots.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="298" /></a></p>
<p>You can send as many of these soldiers as you want, and they will keep attaching to the bad guys, killing them left, right, and center, and stopping tumors. Ideally, it is amazing to think we can maintain the quality of life for cancer patients. And this can be another step closer in that directions.</p>

<p>Studies have shown avocados contribute nearly 20 different types of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients that can help your body function normally. A one-ounce serving (approximately one-fifth of an avocado) is just 50 calories.</p>
<p>Nutritional Benefits:</p>
<p>Vitamin C	4%	antioxidant / connective tissue formation / immune system<br />
Iron	        2%	oxygen transport / immune system / prevents one type of anemia<br />
Vitamin E	4%	antioxidant / muscular development / tissue repair<br />
Thiamin	2%	metabolism / cardiovascular health<br />
Riboflavin	4%	protein, carb and fat processing / skin health<br />
Niacin	4%	digestion / skin health / nervous system<br />
Vitamin B6	4%	nervous and immune systems / prevention of one type of anemia / oxygen transport<br />
Folate	8%	metabolism / prevention of one type of anemia / prenatal health<br />
Pantothenic Acid	4%	nutrient processing / red blood cell formation<br />
Phosphorous	2%	bone health / teeth formation<br />
Magnesium	2%	muscle and nerve function / bone health / sustains regular heartbeat<br />
Zinc	        2%	immune system / wound healing / supports reproduction and growth<br />
Copper	2%	normal blood pressure / regulation of heart rate<br />
Manganese	2%	bone health<br />

<p>Avocados give your favorite foods a delicious, creamy taste. It is a very versatile fruit in that it can be added to everything from salads and sandwiches to dips and salsas.<br />
<strong><span style="color: #008000;">&#8220;There is absolutely no nutrient, no protein, no vitamin, no mineral that we know of, that cannot be obtained from plant-based foods.&#8221; –Michael Klaper, M.D. </span></strong></p>
<p>Bottom line: The avocado, pound for pound, has more energy than unprocessed meat. (what does that tell you?!)</p>

<p>Please enjoy this video and watch it in its entirety then try and understand the severity of what is taking place in America. We have more Government employees than communist Russia ever had and have imprisoned more of our own citizens than ANY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE ENTIRE WORLD! Why is that? How many of those rotting in jail do you think were simply Americans choosing to injest the proven safest form of recreational intoxication found on Earth?? I am just truly astonished that we have not figured out what to do with the FAILED war on drugs = (Americans). Wake-up America!  This country needs your help to right the wrongs that have been allowed to take place. Please take the time each day to research the facts surrounding the country you call home and how YOU can make a difference in what you believe in.</p>

<p>As many of you may know I have been making videos and posting them on Youtube for about 6 months now as a personal video log of sorts.  Before I did this however I was viewing Youtube&#8217;s content for years prior.  I am a huge fan of all the [...]]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_417" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 490px"><a href="http://true101story.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/nohatebig1.gif"><img src="http://true101story.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/nohatebig1.gif" alt="" title="Why So Much Hate?" width="480" height="486" class="size-full wp-image-417" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Why So Much Hate?</p></div>
<p>As many of you may know I have been making videos and posting them on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/true101story?feature=mhw4">Youtube</a> for about 6 months now as a personal video log of sorts.  Before I did this however I was viewing <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/true101story?feature=mhw4">Youtube&#8217;s</a> content for years prior.  I am a huge fan of all the uncut, raw, unedited (and edited) content found on the Internet and more specificly &#8230; <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/true101story?feature=mhw4">Youtube</a>. </p>
<p>However, one of the negative things that stood out to me was all the unbelievable hatred that some people seemed to make it their mission to send out to the world. I have scanned thousands upon thousands of channels, sites, comments, pages, etc. over the last 5-6 years and was overwhelmed with feelings of anger and disgust for these people.  The Internet is largely uncensored, and I firmly believe that it should stay that way but you have to wonder&#8230;How much damage are these Hate-Mongering degenerates actually causing to society with their worthless content??</p>
<p>What I eventually found extremely amusing though was that all of these hate filled evil people had something in common &#8230; they were ALL COWARDS.  So I started clicking on every single hateful, evil comment I could find and tracking it back to the channel or source it came from. I was amazed to see that 95% of these people had not 1 single upload of themselves showing their faces while preaching the message they believe so much.  All they did was anonomously hate from behind the comfort of their safe little monitor. </p>
<p>Funny right? </p>
<p>Then I started thinking about it. I thought, maybe it&#8217;s a good thing that these people have a venue to portray their stupidity &#8230; so everyone can see them for what they actually are. I started to realize that when people are exposed to stuff like that they can actually see how weak and pointless the message that all of these &#8220;haters&#8221; have. I thought maybe it was better that they get all of that hate, anger and aggression out on the Internet instead of letting it build and eventually hurting some innocent person in &#8220;real life&#8221;. </p>
<p>You have to wonder as I still sometimes do &#8230;. What is the answer to this perplexing problem? There are no-doubt hundreds of thousands of impressionable young minds out there scowering the Inner Webs for topics &#038; content to feed their curiosity.  Do you go down the road of of traditional media and censor to the point of repression?  Should we continue on with the uncensored organic nature of the Internet and just let everyone have their say as long as no one is actually being harmed?</p>
<p>Unfortunately for my readers I do not have all the answers but I do know this&#8230;Love and Understanding are MUCH more powerful than the Hate and Evil used by some.  It takes everyone, everywhere to make a conscious effort to teach as many young people as possible that we are all essentially the same.  We are all the same person searching this world for answers &#8230; all the while hoping we have enough food, water, shelter and love to get through the day. I truly hope I live to see the day when man has reached a point in history when we ALL understand and accept this irrefutable fact of life.  We have accomplished so many great and wonderful things yet we have not collectively learned to Co-exist with each other, with the other creatures we share this earth with and last of all &#8230;.. with our home Planet Earth as well.</p>
<p>Be safe People&#8230;Be nice, and try to CARE about more than just yourself. Always remember that We are all stuck here together and our children will have to clean up the mistakes we make.  Peace.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The fact that smoking causes lung disease and oral cancer isn&#8217;t exactly news, and only tobacco industries will be shocked hearing such facts. So why do you still continue to smoke?&#8230; No answer? Well let me ask you this.. How much do you like your penis or vagina?</p>
<p>Besides cancers of the head, neck, and  lungs, cigs are especially connected to cancers in your <strong>reproductive organs</strong>.  Yes! You heard me correctly your reproductive organs. Recent studies have found at least doubling of risk among smokers for cancers of the vulva and penis.</p>
<p><strong>Women</strong>: Cigarettes  also interfere with your ability to have kids. Fertility rates for women who smoke are 30% lower than nonsmokers. And if you&#8217;re an idiot who continues to smoke while your expecting you increase the risks of miscarriage, stillbirth, low birth weight, underdevelopment, and cleft pallet. And if your child is able to overcome that&#8230; let&#8217;s not forget about second-hand smoke that effects 42% of toddlers and infants who are forced to inhale it in their homes. The Centers of Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 702 children younger than one year die each year due cigarettes their parents smoke. What a gift to give your child?!!?</p>
<p><strong>Men: </strong>Smoking also does a serious number on sperm, resulting in more deformed cells and less ability to swim. So even if mommy doesn&#8217;t smoke daddy could still cause problems. Not convinced want more&#8230; smoking hurts blood flow, male smokers are at least twice as likely to be unable to get it up. So the next time you grab your pack of cigarettes after some hot sex remember to sing to your sperm&#8230; &#8220;Just keep swimming, Just keep swimming.&#8221;</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">The next time your smoking  a cigarette look up pictures for <a href="http://images.google.com/images?rlz=1C1CHFX_enUS368US368&amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;q=penis%20cancer&amp;um=1&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;sa=N&amp;hl=en&amp;tab=wi">penis</a> and <a href="http://images.google.com/images?um=1&amp;hl=en&amp;tbs=isch:1&amp;sa=1&amp;q=vulva+cancer&amp;aq=f&amp;aqi=&amp;aql=&amp;oq=&amp;start=0">vulva</a> cancer.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Tasty huh?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">If you are having problems with drug addiction it might be a good idea to check yourself into a <a href=" http://lapalomatreatment.com/treatment/prescription-drug-treatment.htm">prescription drug rehab</a>.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: left;">Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 15 minutes</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Serving Size: 4</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Ingredients:</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">1 (16 ounces) package extra firm tofu, drained and pressed</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">2 cups of vegetable broth</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">3 tablespoons of vegetable oil</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">1/2 cup of all purpose flour</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">4 tablespoons of <a href="http://vegetarian.about.com/od/glossary/g/nutyeast.htm">nutritional yeast </a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">1 teaspoon of salt</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground pepper</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">1 teaspoon of sage</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Directions</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">1. Cut pressed tofu into 1/2-inch thick slices; then cut again into 1/2-inch wide sticks. Place tofu in a bowl, and pour broth over the top. Set aside to soak.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">2.  In a separate bowl, stir together flour, yeast, salt, pepper, sage, and cayenne.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">3. Warm oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">4. Remove tofu sticks from broth, and squeeze most (but not all) of the liquid from them. Roll sticks in breading. (You may have to roll sticks twice to end up with a fairly dry outer layer of breading.) Place tofu in hot oil; fry until crisp and browned on all sides. Add more oil if necessary.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">They are better when they are extra crispy. Vegan goodness. <img src='http://true101story.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p style="text-align: left;">&#8220;Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances of survival for life on earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.&#8221; —Albert Einstein</p>
