He was talking to groups who don't normally bother to vote, who started paying attention because the economy was so bad. He was talking about fixing the economy so they can go back to not paying attention.

My understanding is that most of the "bad for your knees" is actually when you don't soften the landing by bending your knees or ankle and your legs/knees get a jolt, not just the weight involved.

I'm guessing because their understanding is still wrong: 3> log10 5 + 5 + log10 5 + 5 ;; i.e. (log10 5 + 5) + (log10 5 + 5) 2.0 In Rebol this would be equivalent to (log10 (5 + (5 + (log10 (5 + 5)))))

I suspect a lot of the magic will fall away after realizing the block data structure (the square brackets) are pretty close to a Lisp list. And just like in Lisp, they're used for both code and data. One big difference is words are ev

I don't remember how I found it, but REBOL was one of the first programming languages I learned around 25 years ago. Most of my personal projects are still written in it. I have yet to try converting anything to Red.
