Mirinda:
As I get arrested less often than I get thirsty, I feel like my Mirinda rights are being violated more often.

The Happy Hermit 
With reference to your recent blog about healthy diet: I would rather propose a Mirinda warning like “This soft drink contains large amounts of artifical sweetener and fructose. It increases the risk for the consumer to develop obesity, diabetes type 2 and metabolic syndrome”
Artificial sweetener in Mirinda? Do you have reliable sources for that? I used to think so, too, but it seems there are no artificial sweeteners, only real sugar, in the Mirinda sold here, according to the ingredients list. “Here” being Germany. My guess is that the ingredients were changed a few years ago. Maybe there is legislation that doesn’t allow artificial sweeteners in products that aren’t labeled “lite”, “diet”, “zero” or whatever, I don’t know – all I know is that I can now drink Mirinda again without having my stomach revolt.
I have a friend that was in the area that was locked down while they search door to door for the last terrorist, They attempted to make him and his wife and kids leave the area to which he refused they then came into his house “without consent” 8 of them in swat uniforms with assault rifles and conducted a room by room search of his whole house including basement and attic, and garage, He was unable to keep his eyes on all of them . They then apologized for the in intrusion and told them to keep their doors locked . He said during the time they locked down the area that their cellphones wouldnt work so they had no way of calling out since like many americans they had no house phone. And now the media is talking about the bomber rights and the fact he wasnt read his miranda ,,
Shockingly sad if this is our new reality.
