I am learning about Retsina- a greek wine with a pine flavor. I've learned it comes close in flavor to how wine would have tasted thousands of years ago. I've also read that the people of that time would have used honey and spices and even seawater to alter the taste. Does anyone know how I can find out how this flavoring was done? (I seem to have exhausted all the internet information) I'm wanting to have as close to authentic flavor as possible.

All scientists and many people know, race is not a scientific term. It has become so, but there are no races, only genetic traits. A person with pure genes, if there are any, of one genetic type, can in 3 generations of mixing, become another genetic type. Since this hypothesis is proven, why do we as a race, the human, find it so hard to ignore skin color?

It seems like politicians are getting better and better at squeezing and extracting more money out of average people throughout the world.

A week ago, at Thursday’s night Democratic presidential debate in Orangeburg, S.C.,
former Sen. Mike Gravel of Alaska reportedly said:


“Every one of those people except Kucinich is taking hedge fund money,” he claimed. “Hedge fund money is the manipulation of the economy overseas and nobody knows anything about it…. If the world economy tanks, it’s going to be because of the hedge funds.”

Can someone give more specifics about what Gravel was discussing?
