What I Learned November 26- December 1, 2010

-My dad has to have some sort of sandwich spread on both pieces of bread in a sandwich or he'll get the hiccups

-Dick Wilson (not the actor, I mean the corrupt Oglala tribal chairman) was an asshole and I hope he's rotting in hell

-South Dakota was, and possibly still is, the most racist anti-Indian (American Indian) state in the U.S.

-Michael Jordan can't fight (according to Charles Barkley)

-Stephen Colbert, when not in character, is an incredibly nice guy

-Firefly is an amazing tv show, and has been added to my list of shows that should have never been cancelled

-Most personal hygiene products (makeup, shampoo, conditioner, soap, sunscreen, etc) contain chemicals and toxins that cause cancer, premature puberty in young girls, learning disabilities, infertility, and a mess of other health problems. The European Union has recognized this and made it illegal to sell products that contain such chemicals. The U.S. still hasn't but there are hundreds of companies who have pledged to keep these chemicals out of their products. For a list of companies who have agreed to do this, as well as more information, go to safecosmetics.org

-There are no laws stopping companies from claiming their products are "natural" "organic"or "herbal" when, in reality, they aren't

-Triclosan, a chemical used mostly in anti-bacterial products but also in many other products and even clothes, is no more effective at getting rid of bacteria than soap and water.
