I've probably spent as much "virtual time" over/on Gitmo as anyone -- on FR -- at least...
I analyzed all of those E Degenerate "Gitmo" photos that I could get my hands on -- and, there is nothing on them that matches trees on Gitmo -- if you magnify-match the supposed "same" trees.
Besides, all anyone incarcerated on Gitmo is going to see is walls & wire -- not scenery...
Amateur "analysts" "see" what they want to see -- not what's really shown in the images... The same goes for "truthers" -- who ignore any evidence that disagrees with their pet "theory".

I found 1 drop sufficient before turning in at night.
If I go to a doctor with a list of symptoms and my expected diagnosis...the reply is just.."that's what to expect when you get old'...same for the last 2 doctors
I got better results from a Holistic Integrative Health doctor.
Sounds reasonable. Thanks.
HeroismLet him take both reputation and life in his hand, and, with perfect urbanity, dare the mob by the absolute truth of his speech, and the rectitude of his behavior. To this military attitude of the soul we give the name of Heroism. Its rudest form is the contempt for safety and ease, which makes the attractiveness of war. It is a self-trust which slights the restraints of prudence, in the plenitude of its energy and power to repair the harms it may suffer. The hero is a mind of such balance that no disturbances can shake his will, but pleasantly, and, as it were, merrily, he advances to his own music. There is something not philosophical in heroism; there is something not holy in it; it seems not to know that other souls are of one texture with it; it has pride; it is the extreme of individual nature. Nevertheless, we must profoundly revere it. Heroism feels and never reasons, and therefore is always right; and although a different breeding, different religion, and greater intellectual activity would have modified or even reversed the particular action. Yet for the hero that thing he does is the highest deed, and is not open to the censure of philosophers or divines.

Nice!
Imagine H. L. Mencken, the Terror of Baltimore, writing a speech after visiting the local pub and drinking a quart of ale. That's the net effect!
Shortly after Abraham Lincoln was assassinated, Emerson penned these words about Lincoln:
What pregnant definitions; what unerring common sense; what foresight; and, on great occasion, what lofty, and more than national, what humane tone!
His brief speech at Gettysburg will not easily be surpassed by words on any recorded occasion.
