One of the Most Concise Descriptions of MDs I’ve Ever Read

The more I read, the more I research and discover the horrifying conflicts of interest in our medical system, the more I’m inclined to agree with perspectives like that listed below. IMO, one of the most dangerous aspects to American culture is the free pass given to Continue reading “One of the Most Concise Descriptions of MDs I’ve Ever Read”

Why Do Pro-Vaxxers Keep Claiming Their Side of The Vaccine Debate is the Only Scientific One?

I’ve been chuckling to myself, with a tint of sadness, at the number of intelligent people I know who seem to become absolutely mindless when the vaccine debate comes up.  One of the most common comments from these otherwise sharp thinkers is that “it’s all settled science / 99% of scientists agree / anyone who questions vaccine info from the gov is an anti-vax nut job”.

So what if I told you there actually WAS science behind the other side Continue reading “Why Do Pro-Vaxxers Keep Claiming Their Side of The Vaccine Debate is the Only Scientific One?”

Diversity Lies at the Heart of the Tenth Amendment Movement

Diversity is absolutely the heart and soul of the Tenth Amendment movement. People seem to really like the idea of a political

Grow Freedom Not Government
Grow Freedom Not Government

camp that includes ALL of the diverse, minority groups that stand to gain from the protection of the 10th Amendment.

An alliance that puts gun rights people along side of gay marriage groups, abortion activists, supporters of marijuana legalization and constitutional scholars is an alliance showing the kind of diversity that this nation was founded to serve.

Who were the first Americans if not members of a diverse collection of minorities, cultural and philosophical misfits who were tired of central planners deciding their fate?

Change You Can…Huh?

Well, though I voted for neither Bush or Obama, I have been rooting for the Democrat controlled congress and white house to really look different from the previous and infamous eight years.

What we have seen so far…looks more Republican than Democrat.

Can someone please explain to me why, despite having a comfortable margin in the Senate, that the Republicans seem to still be calling the shots?

The Stimulus Bill, which I grudgingly supported back when it had populist measures such as executive salary caps, incentives for American goods and help for the clueless American auto industry has been gutted to just look like another gift to the Corporatocracy.

Couple that with the free ride all of this is getting from Corporate media pundits and my belief in Obama’s promised change has become very faint.

    If elected president, Senator John McCain would reserve the right to run his own warrantless wiretapping program against Americans, based on the theory that the president’s wartime powers trump federal criminal statutes and court oversight, according to a statement released by his campaign Monday.

    McCain’s new tack towards the Bush administration’s theory of executive power comes some 10 days after a McCain surrogate stated, incorrectly it seems, that the senator wanted hearings into telecom companies’ cooperation with President Bush’s warrantless wiretapping program, before he’d support giving those companies retroactive legal immunity.

Neil Young feels driven to work on electric car

Neil Young, the rocker who provided some of the soundtrack to Vietnam-era protests, is trying to change the world again – with his car.

Young has teamed up with Johnathan Goodwin, a Wichita mechanic who has developed a national reputation for re-engineering the power units of big cars to get more horsepower but use less fuel.

The two are looking to convert Young’s 1959 Lincoln Continental convertible to operate on an electric battery. Ultimately, they said, they want the Continental to provide a model for the world’s first affordable mass-produced electric-powered automobile.

‘Johnathan and this car are going to make history,’ Young told The Wichita Eagle. ‘We’re going to change the world; we’re goin”
