“George Bush doesn’t care about white people!”
Image source: Reuters
Now I have purposely not said anything regarding Kanye West’s claim that George Bush doesn’t care about black people simply because he is just exercising his right to freedom of speech in this country. With that being said, I also believe in the old saying “With freedom comes great responsibility”.

Splenda: Is it good for you?
**UPDATE**
Use Stevia instead (a natural herb sweetener).

I thought about it for a little while and decided to go for it. Something inside was already telling me that this was a bad move. More »
