276. Cheney, Guns, Social Security, Vigilance, and Tort Reform
     It's been called everything from an accident to something more conspiratorial. Both views and/or positions are wrong. The shooting of 78-year- old Harry Whittington by Dick Cheney on Saturday showed 3 things. First, it unveiled the fallback plan by the Administration in the event that Social Security 'privatization' fails again. Take that AARP! In taking the action, Cheney exhibited the 'bottom-line' approach he touted in 2000 by referring to his background as CEO of Halliburton (now a subsidiar…



277. Hypocrisy Abounds: The Bush Administration's Manipulation of the Constitution
     I'm starting to wonder why no one in the Democratic Party is challenging the GOP on their hypocrisy when it comes to their stance on the Constitution, when it comes to the warrantless wiretapping by the NSA that was authorized by President Bush..  They claim they want strict literal interpretation of the Constitution, unless the president wants to interpret Article 2, Sect. 1 to give himself the power to wiretap US citizens without a warrant.  Please allow me to explain how ridiculous the Bush a…



278. Minor Disruptions Cause Chaos in Transportation By Lance Winslow
     Recently the Los Angeles Transit workers are on Strike and the RTD is not operating, this happens every few years. This disrupts the flow of people on their way to get food, go to work, attend college or visit friends. When the flow of transportation is disrupted it hurts our trust in the integrity of the system and affects our lives. When you design a city and have a transportation system to support the population and then turn it off you cause chaos.In Los Angeles they had a grocery store st…



279. Does America "Get It" about Terrorism? By Douglas Bower
     I have to be honest. It is time to come clean. Though the rising cost of health care was indeed the primary reason my wife and I uprooted our lives and left America, it was not the only one. In very close competition was the issue of terrorism.We left America on August 1, 2003, and could not leave fast enough. Though health care is the primary reason we cite in our writing for leaving, the ongoing threat of Islamic terrorism in America was another motivating factor. Here is what I thought on t…



280. Chasing Shadows! A Dream
     I feel the earth under my feet shake, and the explosions deafen my ears. Day change to night as the thick dark smoke obscures visibility for hours. And I begin to see death with my naked eyes. But after all the shootings and bombings, the smoke clears at last. And we expect to see seven dead devils: Hatred, Oppression, Frustration, Injustice, Mistrust, Fear, and Enmity. But there they are—laughing and falling over themselves. And the kings, Sunrise and Sunset, are full of wonderment. What …



281. Maybe Nothing Changes By Andy Carloff
     For the Batko..."These Nazis are being hung up, so that the townspeople can spit on them and beat them... They will be unhooked in one or two days," he told me. I looked on. There were three white males chained to a fence. All of them bore the Swastika on their clothing."What... for?" I asked, "That doesn't seem like modern German due process of law.""The Nazis killed millions," he told me, "They worked some to death, tortured others to death, and killed others in the middle of the street.…



282. FEMA Preparedness Plan for Planet By Lance Winslow
     The United States is prepared for Natural Disasters on a large scale. We have survived some of the largest. We have weathered Hurricanes, Tornadoes and long-term droughts with crop failures, which have also brought huge wildfires. The Western United States has been hit with some of the largest and most devastating Earthquakes in the present period and modern era.Recently we have seen other nations were also hit, in fact few nations have been spared from disasters of large magnitude. The FEMA p…



283. Using More Trees to Reduce Atmospheric CO2 By Thomas Clouser
     As global warming continues to escalate the concerns of today’s scientists, the federal government has been spending millions in research in an attempt to reduce greenhouse emissions, the substance that has been credited with the increase in planet temperature since the beginning of the 20th century.Greenhouse gases---largely comprised of carbon dioxide--- is a product of burning fossil fuels such as oil and coal. Automobiles, home heating systems, and factories are just 3 examples of large c…



284. Take Marijuana Off the DEA's Docket By Eric Nielsen
     Quit paying the DEA to chase marijuana. We could save millions for education (or tax credits, for you republicans). We spend millions locking up Americans for using marijuana. Or as NORML says in a 1999 billboard campaign up in bus shelters around the city, "A Pot Smoker is Busted Every 45 Seconds -- and You Wonder Why We're Paranoid."An unclassified report by the National Drug Intelligence Center shows that violent crime is not a problem with marijuana, except by the drug runners. Shouldn't w…



285. Scandals and Elections By Sunny Sambhara
     There are more than a few opinions on this whole sordid affair. Many have spoken at length, sometimes borderline long-winded, about it. That said, as far as I'm concerned, the Gomery Report and the Sponsorship Scandal is the best thing to happen to Canada since the invention of maple syrup!Some people claim PM. Martin was exonerated by Gomery, but he wasn't, not really. On pg. 25 of the report, Gomery states clearly that all members of the Liberal cabinet at the time the sponsorship program …



286. Throw the Bums Out - Now! By Robert Lachman
     Now that New Orleans is underwater and the Speaker of the House feels it shouldn’t be rebuilt. Now that Home Land Insecurity Chief Michael Chertoff and FEMA Director Michael Brown have made fools of themselves by giving press conferences three days after Hurricane Katrina crushed the Gulf Coast by telling everyone what a wonderful job they’re doing (they did nothing).Now, one week after the biggest and most preventable disaster in this nation’s history was not prevented and was not even dealt…



287. The FTC Purports and Misrepresents Their Law Enforcement Experience as It Attacks Business By Lance Winslow
     We should all give much kudos to the Federal Trade Commission. We sincerely compliment you on your misdirection, smoke screams and use of self-aggrandizement to further justify the on-going ability to govern, lead, legislate, regulate, and enforce law in the franchising industry. Many of the fear tactics and public relations ploys at the Federal Trade Commission show tactics straight out of the Machiavellian Play Book. Therefore we believe some sort of award is deserved for such strict adher…



288. Market Impeders and Market Inefficiencies By Sam Vaknin, Ph.D.
     Even the most devout proponents of free marketry and hidden hand theories acknowledge the existence of market failures, market imperfections and inefficiencies in the allocation of economic resources. Some of these are the results of structural problems, others of an accumulation of historical liabilities. But, strikingly, some of the inefficiencies are the direct outcomes of the activities of "non bona fide" market participants. These "players" (individuals, corporations, even larger economic…



289. Are You Fired Up About America? Nothing Communicates Like Honesty
     One day I was tuning up and down the radio dial as I drove down the Interstate. Time after time, I landed on talk shows featuring callers that were simply dismayed at the direction America is going. They were frustrated that so many important issues were either being glossed over or ignored by federal, state, and local government. It was clear that a great many people were highly concerned, yet felt helpless to do anything about it. That's when I decided to design some t-shirts with patriotic me…



290. What Are the Inspectors Really Looking For?
     Let's take a step back from the fray and examine the real target in Iraq...what are the inspectors really looking for? The answer is: whatthey have received from the US - the West's own exports - such as dual-use equipment used for manufacturing of weapons of destruction. This was supplied with the blessing of the US Commerce Dept...$1.5-b worth of dual-use goods. The inspectors have destroyed a good deal of the equipment imported inthe 1990s, but much still remains. The West's companies and gov…



291. CARIBBEAN SINGLE MARKET AND ECONOMY ( CSME) - NOT My Business
     The Caribbean Single Market and Economy (CSME) involves the free flow of labour, goods and capital among participating Caribbean Community (CARICOM) members states. The emergence, of this single market means that legal and administrative restrictions affecting trade, labour and technology within the CARICOM region will generally be a thing of the past. But one of the greatest advantages is that it will encourage intra-regional trade and allow CARICOM states to negotiate as a single entity. This …



292. Policy Separated from Politics By Robert Baird
     Alexander Hamilton – Policy Separated from Politics:I am related to Hamiltons who came to Canada as United Empire Loyalists but I cannot say for sure they were related to this man who clearly was also a monarchist. William Hamilton Stewart is one of the Stuart historians I have quoted and his name is proof for the Hamiltons being part of the Stuart Hibernian and Merovingian continuum. This man says his family history goes back to the Berbers for at least 20,000 years and I think he could go fu…



293. Barry Chamish re: Steven Plaut, Daniel Pipes and The Jewish Press
     Now to the vulgar slander that appeared in the Jewish Press last week. First, some background: Before I ever heard the name Daniel Pipes, it was reported to me that he had mounted a campaign of slander against me. Until then, I didn't realize that not only was he a member of the Council On Foreign Relations (CFR), he was almost entirely funded by them directly or by proxy. His prominence was not due to any innate talent; he had an in. His father, Richard, was head of the CIA's Soviet department…



294. Your Government at Work: Gitmo Torture and Beyond
     The American Civil Liberties Union has undertaken the task of obtaining declassified documentation of prisoner abuse in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (Gitmo).The documents were obtained under a Freedom of Information Act request (the FOIA is a federal law that allows the public access to documents and other information from the federal government) on Oct. 7, 2003, and the ACLU has been releasing the documents to the public as they’ve received them. The collection of documents contai…



295. Politics is Missing Ideals that Lead to Greatness and Wallowing in Mediocrity By David Perdew
     Politics has been called the art of compromise. Unfortunately, that means the art of mediocrity, too. Greatness is never accomplished by compromise, only through dedication to the ideal.Politics in America today, no matter the party affiliation, is so far from ideal it's pathetic. Our leaders exhibit no drive to govern for the people as representatives, but govern to contain the people. And I'm not talking about the leaders of the party in power, but those on both sides.It's especially difficu…



296. Some truly frightening statistics regarding economic freedom in The Untied States
     The Wall Street Journal and the Heritage Foundation (A conservative think tank) just came out with their most recent Index of Economic Freedom. This index measures the relative economic freedom the people of each country have. This study is performed by economists from around the world.The study takes into account too many factors to list here: Taxes, corruption, government spending, property rights, regulations, barriers to business, tariffs, etc. The countries with the best ratings are countri…



297. Lawyers and Franchising By Lance Winslow
     It is amazing how the Federal Trade Commission has destroyed franchising, by selling the industry out to lawyers. We need to have accountability for the regulators and we can start by firing the head of the Franchising Group at the Federal Trade Commission and anyone who has worked in that department in the last 6-10 years. Let me give you an example of what the Federal Trade Commission’s Franchising Group’s policies have made a mockery out of the purest of business models; Franchising.A Judge…



298. Hurricane Hunters and Hurricane Killers By Lance Winslow
     The Hurricane Hunters indeed have captured our imagination. A military squadron, which actually flies aircraft into the eye of a Category Five Hurricane now that takes guts, wow. These are some brave men and women indeed, however it is time to move from studying Hurricanes to killing them. It is wonderful all the data we have collected over the years in studying these storms which wreak havoc.Isn’t there anything we can drop from these aircraft to help in the killing of these killer storms? We…



299. Reelect President Bush for the 2nd term: Evidence & Proofs By Dr Ma
     Why President Bush should have his second term? The arguments can be drawn from Gas price, Job creation and War in Iraq scientifically. If it is scientific, it must observe the same result, test in the same experiment and constitute a mathematical truth. For example, we all know that goose is white because we see the same color in anywhere. We know that water is H2O because the experiment result is the same. Needless to say, 2+2 = 4. We now apply these criteria to my arguments.War in Iraq. Is …



300. Senator Joe McCarthy, Sex Offenders, and the 109th Congress By Sharon Wilson
     Edward R. Murrow is back in the nick of time, just when we need him the most.“Good Night and Good Luck” is a feature film account of Murrow's 1953 and 1954 "See It Now" broadcasts assailing Sen. Joseph McCarthy during the nation's anti-Communist hysteria.From the moment in a 1950 speech when McCarthy waved his infamous (and never-identified) "list of 205 Communists working in the State Department," the senator exploited the country's Cold War paranoia, relentlessly pursuing those he deemed Co…
