I disagree that the letter was enforcing an "abstract" notion of exercise - there are some pretty specific benefits to "exercise" listed, first, and second nothing in the phrase "Able patients are advised to participate in at least 30 minutes of physical activity and 10 minutes of stretching and light muscle training five days a week" precludes one from thinking "I should do that while walking in the woods to enjoy the trees!" or "I should head out to Angel Rocks and check out the spring flowers!"

In short, just because you picture an impersonal 30 minutes on a treadmill when you read "exercise" doesn't mean the rest of us do.

Great letter, great message. The results of these simple life changes can (and do) bring "immediate pleasure" to the individual and certainly "social good". If my father hadn't integrated these (and other) changes more than six years ago his heart attack three years ago could have been fatal - instead there was no damage to the heart muscle and he's walking me down the aisle next year.

Exercise is the act, the benefits, the reward all rolled up into one. Whether you choose to "integrate" it or do it "for its own sake" you are doing yourself - and your family - a great service.

Yes, the story WAS "stupider" wasn't it? ;-)

Those who bought tickets won't be sorry. I saw EJ w/ Billy Joel at Rich Stadium in Buffalo, NY in the mid-90s and it was phenomenal. EJ performed "Piano Man" and BJ performed "Rocket Man". I'd still love to see EJ perform Rocket Man though...

lol

I live in AK now but I used to live in NY and I still post on a local forum back there...we just went 'round on this one, too.

Quite a luxury to have problems like these, when you think about it.

I'll take your word for it that "go back to where you came from" is just your little way of saying "we're cool, bro - you're you and I'm me". The confusion was clearly all mine. Apologies.

Hmmmmm.
You're getting there MC.
Of course, you're assuming that a person who thinks differently from you can't be from the same place as you are...or that everyone wishes to be surrounded by similar-thinking people as you seem to. I'm personally happy to be surrounded by people who think differently about all kinds of things.

Blanket statements like he must be from San Fran?

I went to see Elton John (w/ Billy Joel) years ago and I came out of it intact and straight. I promise, going to see a homosexual man perform music will not make you a homosexual. It's not as if he simulates sex during Rocket Man or anything. Swear! lol

Anyone else-

For those interested - it's well worth the ticket price. He's an incredible performer and you won't be sorry. Especially considering the level of entertainer that he is - can't be often Fairbanks gets this kind of act!

Apparently he was on Larry King not too long ago and had expressed interest in playing the states he'd never been to - and he mentioned Alaska specifically.

What a great opportunity - for those who understand that "being yourself" isn't "promoting your lifestyle" or risking a massive "coming out" as hundreds of EJ concert-goers raise their arms, zombie-like, and go shopping for Prada loafers.

"Liberal" (and the use of said word as an epithet) is my personal favorite conservative emotive catch-all phrase!
