I'm sure you realize that the purpose of the 2nd amendment was to arm the populace to fight any domestic or foreign threat, right? Not self-defense against criminals and certainly not hunting. Therefore, an appeal to a "need" to own a specific firearm based on how useful it is for those things is irreverent in context of the constitution.

To be fair, the AR15 is a pretty neutered version already of a "weapon of war." However, weapons of war are exactly what the 2nd amendment was specifically designed for. That's how a civilian population can fight domestic or foreign threats. Not with hunting shotguns.

If we don't feel we need / want the civilian population to be allowed to own weapons of war, then we need to change the 2nd amendment - not pretend it doesn't exist or says something else.

Another question I had is this. When you consider the environmental impact of wind turbines, do you consider the amount of oil and oil products that are used in them? I believe they have multiple gearboxes in them which take hundreds of gallons of expensive gear oil that must be changed at regular intervals. I realize this is less oil than you'd use for other sources of power, but is this considered when looking at the impact of large-scale wind farms?

How easy was/is it to keep the weight off? I'm sure you must have had to change your lifestyle in a major way from what you were doing before the show. Was it harder to lose the weight, or keep to the "new lifestyle" required to keep it off?

Favorite lift (and why is it the trap bar deadlift)? Least favorite lift?
