When naming this piece, you would look at it and think wow, we are going to have a geopolitical debate, but today, we are not. What we are going to have, is a discussion on one of the more intriguing of side effects I have noticed in some vets and kids of vets from the Vietnam War.
Picture one day, you are feeling pretty awesome, things just feel good, your body actually feels like it could go ahead and do anything. Then later on in that evening, you get home from work, and feel like the characters in Goldfinger.
Last night, this happened, but I was not dipped in gold. I tried to get off of the couch, and boom, it was as though my body had pretty much wanted to stop functioning. It was as though each and everyone of my synapses had failed to fire.
Often I would watch my father, sometimes there would be this energy there, and then, it would disappear. He stated to me once, it is as though the dioxin would store itself in the fat cells in the body, and then, at times of pure exhaustion, it would release and make you just downright tired. It is like a chemically time-released chronic fatigue. Which leads to the title of this article, it is though your bloody, energy and bio-rythm's had been replaced with old oil.

On another note, I am trying to get an interview with people who work with Agent Orange people, just so we can share it with others. Hopefully this will happen soon.
All the best,
Jim.
