My grandmother and a number of other relatives have had Diabetes. I am not trying to make fun of that awful disease by posting these two videos. However, I also have to admit that they're so silly that they make me laugh until I'm in physical pain:

And before you finish the workweek out, be sure and stop by the Hidden Blog and take a neat little test to find out how many earths we'd need if everyone on the planet lived the same lifestyle that you live. Name Hidden is kicking much butt with 6.3 earths. I'm not doing as well, as my results indicate:

Disclaimer: The pseudo-scientific survey used to determine how many planets you'd require is complete and total horse crap.

Even if it were possible to come up with such a figure (and it isn't), and even if that figure could be accurately calculated with just a few mouse clicks at somebody's website (and it can't), the people who've put that website together aren't living in mud-huts in the Serengeti. They're living thoroughly modern, wasteful lives... just like you and I... or they wouldn't have their own webpage designed to apply enough guilt to convince you to adopt their political views.

Remember, people who argue for their political views with guilt rather than logic do so for a reason. The reason is this: Logic isn't on their side. So continue to live your life, and try to live it as responsibly and in as much moderation as possible... but don't let propaganda like the Earth Day Footprint Quiz effect the way you think one way or the other. Scare tactics and guilt are always the weapons of choice by those who have no choice but to use them.
