>Your comments about the Inuit are arrogant, racist crap!

Hey Ron! Uhm, chill? I think you misinterpreted Geoff's comment about the "noble savage" as a declaration that the Innuit are savages. I believe he was just referring to the "concept" of the noble savage, AKA "the natural man". IMHO, an Edenistic trap.

I am a sef-declared coffee nut. I don't drink much of anything other than water, the occasional beer or wine, and coffee. Don't much care for tea - but, I was raised in a coffee-drinking family, and have been partaking regularly for some 40 years or so. Unlike my parents, who drank the stuff well into the evening most of the time, I have to avoid it after noon or I'll be up all night. I suppose they could get away with it because they made very weak coffee - as for me, I like it as strong as I can get it (espresso is a good thing). We all have our vices...

What amazes me about coffee is the love/hate relationship it has with the health "journals". It seems like one week coffee is bad, the next week it's good. I think the last thing I read was fairly pro-coffee, but I'm sure I'll read a contrary opinion shortly.
