It maintains that there exist both bodies and minds.

Rush LimbaughThe best defence of the country is the fear of the fighter. If we are strong in fighters we should probably never be attacked in force.

I also ditched my own addictions and compulsions around food, especially sugar.
Kris CarrTouch was important.
