He is best known for pushing through the amalgamation of the Army, Navy and Air Force to create the Canadian Forces. His reputation within the military is "lower than a snake's belly in a wagon rut". The only people who supported him in office were those hoping to profit by his mismanagement. He makes Robert McNamara look like a genius as SecDef. After his term as MND, he ran for the leadership of two political paties in vain attempts to become PM. Then he founded his own political party, twice. He has been a political joker since 1970. Quoting Mr Hellyer on any subject is akin to implying one is a fool. No, I do not like him. Cheers FWIW, the article notes that Mr Hellyer was MND in the late Sixties.

Hear me out now. There are what, 350 million Americans? Fat is about 70% carbon by weight. So if each of us were to gain just 40 pounds that would sequester 9.8 billion pounds of carbon, which is the amount of carbon in 26 billion pounds of carbon dioxide. Krispy Kreme anyone?

Unless he was lying!

Well, could be. Mainly because, if say, he came walking out blabbing that he had just seen wide eyed smallish gray creatures, partying out in a round craft…well, you know…

Painful (electroshock) treatments, shrinks, people laughing their asses off.

I fear it is too late now. This example is as good an argument against socialized medicine as any I've seen.
