The factory in Florida where the bulk of Coke’s orange juice products are made sounds less like a bucolic grove where natural things grow than an oil refinery where natural things go to die. And yes, that includes the “Grove Made” variety. Read more. [Image: Coca-Cola] Woah, this is pretty crazy.

I also think, though, that what people all over the country fear today is being abandoned by their government— if a tornado hits, if a hurricane hits, if a riot occurs— that they’re going to be out there alone, and the only way they’re going to protect themselves in the cold, in the dark, when they’re vulnerable, is with a firearm. I think that indicates how relevant and essential the second amendment is in today’s society to fundamental human survival.
