when I stand back and observe the whole tapestry of life, what is important, what is trivial, etc., national caffeine awareness month is no where to be found. I certainly hope this person who has sacrificed so much in the name of public service is well paid for this bullshit.
What frivolity.
How can a mayor declare a 'national' anything?
This is just dumb.
I hope all the MADDers and anti-amoking Nazis are happy.
Oh lovely. got moved to BLOGGER.
Not even CHAT, but blogger.
Kushner is an authority on the subject. She delves into both the physical and psychological dangers that caffeine can cause in her new book called "The Truth About Caffeine". In addition to the book, she has developed a line of caffeine-free coffee replacements called Soyfee, made from 100% organic soybeans.
Isn't that an interesting coincidence? Here's a vendor, Ms. Kushner, peddling goods that happen to replace what she is campaigning against.
I have to wonder at the non-profit status of the "Caffeine Awareness Alliance" since its campaign to eliminate caffeine is being run by someone who stands to benefit from that elimination. It vaguely reminds me of General Motors role in National City Lines.
At least the CAA's website has a fairly straightforward description of its activities: CAA was founded in 2003 as an authoritative voice for advocacy to serve the needs of the Caffeine-Free Industry & create a valuable network of resources to executives, sales people, retailers, buyers, growers, media and associations.
But somehow that industry advocacy bit is lost in the referenced article, and instead we read that ... [p]rior years have seen ways of celebrating this event ranging from educational events in school to even picketing outside coffee houses.... I find it odd that any industry advocacy group is out sponsoring pickets and school events.
These people run for office because they are too "la-la" to pass a job interview in the business arena.
