Expert Author: Rev Michael Bresciani | Category: Religion Bernard discovered that all living organisms have internal "multiple dynamic equilibria adjustment and regulation mechanisms." In simple terms, that means we all have an internal clock. Homeostasis is that inner knowledge of time or our ability to define a day with or without a clock or a watch.

The current flush of spending by the government and the health care proposals now in the Senate are the single greatest threat to economic security the nation has ever had to face.
