351. The Animal Rights Summit
     The Animal Rights SummitBy David LeonhardtIs it just me, or is society becoming increasingly polarized? It seems like for every action there is an equaller and oppositer reaction. For and against war. For or against the environment. For or against the family.Consider the role animals play in society. No, I am not referring to politicians, TV producers or Janet Jackson. I mean animals like rabbits and mice and bears.Some people will even lay down their lives for animals, protesting against the us…



352. American detained in Jerusalem's Russian Compound
     Nobody arrested me. I was DETAINED when I faithfully reported to the police office at 9 a.m. Monday morning, January 9, 1996 (day before my birthday) the day after The Jerusalem Post published on their front page an article shedding light on what they were doing in the dark. After my initial interrogation of six and one half hours, the Thursday before, I reported, as demanded, to the police station Friday morning, Saturday morning, Sunday morning, and then Monday morning the fellow who had actua…



353. Why do Pakistanis consider Mahmud Ghazni, Mohammad Ghauri and Aurangzeb Great Muslims?
     I am an Indian and a Hindu but I am not a fundamentalist. I believe in the composite heritage of Hindus and Muslims and I think both are pillars of India. However, if we go back into History, we will find some disturbing truths. Everybody in both India and Pakistan know about our ancient Indus Valley Civilization and the sites are located in both India and Pakistan. Subsequently, in the ancient historical period, there were glorious years of Ashoka the Great and Chandragupta. In those days, Indi…



354. Doorstops and Paperweights
     Ted Stevens (R-Alaska), chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, has come up with what he believes is a brilliant idea. He thinks the FCC should have to the power to hold cable and satellite channels to the same decency standards as over-the-air broadcasters. Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas), Stevens' counterpart in the House, agrees. Each plans to propose bills to that end in his respective house of the U.S. Congress. Many of their colleagues, eager to always be viewed as tough on indecency, are rea…



355. Uniting Americans
     Liberals are fretting over who President Bush will nominate to replace a retiring Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. For them the prospect of Justice O’Connor who has only at times been a friend to the Constitution being replaced with a truly qualified Supreme Court Justice is terrifying. She has flirted with liberal ideology enough over her tenure that the left has gone from completely opposed to her to promoting the need to replace her in kind because the mere thought of her replacement being to the…



356. MOVING TO CANADA IS A JOKE...The Economic, Military, and Social Integration of North America By Doug Krieger
     Eh? I can think of scores of reasons to move to Canada (or opt for the Mexican Riviera) . . . any place but Babylon the Great: The USA. The War in Iraq . . . or better yet: The entire Military-Industrial Complex sucking the life-blood out of Americana for starters. Or, how about the whole hedonistic culture of greed, avaricious appetites, and super sizing all things godly and ungodly—from Hollywood to Mega Churches; indeed, ours is a “city set on a hill which cannot be hid” but the closer…



357. The Supreme Court-Eminent Domain-A Conundrum By George W. Cannata
     The Supreme Court recently handed down a very controversial decision regarding a case in New London, Connecticut.What does that have to do with this web site? The fact that this decision can effect the economic well being of us all I think it falls within the purview of Caveat Emptor.When I first became aware of this decision, I was appalled that the Supreme Court would allow a city or a state to take away a persons home to make room for some real estate just to provide more tax revenue for th…



358. The World of Diplomatic Backstage By Humair Ishtiaq
     De-classification of official documents have been a routine practice in the United States, while just the opposite is true of Pakistan. Successive governments over the years have believed in hiding away from public eye even the most innocuous of official documents without realizing that the practice only adds to the sense of national confusion. "I will expose everybody when the time is right," is a sentence that finds place in every politician's armory. A case in point is that of Mohammad Khan…



359. Sudan: Submitting the Criminals to The ICC!
     Everybody concerns about justice in the World should be delighted because the call to submit the criminals in Sudan to the International Criminal Court(ICC) became a reality last Thrusday in the UN's corridors!The UN Security Council voted 11-0 to refer a sealed list of 51 people accused of crimes against humanity in the Sudanese Darfurian region to the ICC.The USA, China, Brazil and Algeria abstained after the last minute wrangling led by the US to exempt its citizens from submission to the ICC…



360. French Riot Holographic Training for Police By Lance Winslow
     The riots in France are nearly under control after almost four weeks of mayhem. Over 300 cities effects with cars being burned, some 20,000 automobiles were destroyed. The French looked very ineffectual to the rest of the world as they allowed the rioters and civil unrest to reach epic proportions. Molotov Cocktails were used made from recycled bad French Wine bottles and thrown into buildings and cars to start blazes.The French were only able to arrest a few of the arsonists and threatened to…



361. I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night....
     Yesterday I saw a clip on TV of Joan Baez singing Joe Hill at the Cindy Sheehan Crawford protest. Instantly my thoughts flipped back to Woodstock (the movie), where of course she performed the same song. It's hard for an old hippie/freak like me not to attach some significance to this - it takes us back to the beginning of the culture wars, which began as an attempt by the right to roll back the cultural changes of the 60s and early 70s. There is a powerful temptation to see a symbol of the whee…



362. Geographical Indications in India: Law & Procedure By P.M.George Kutty
     LegislationThe Indian law of geographical indications is enshrined in the the Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration and Protection) Act, 1999. This Act seeks to provide for the registration and protection of Geographical Indications relating to goods in India. The Act is administered by the Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trade Marks, who is the Registrar of Geographical Indications Registry. The rights granted under the Act, are operative in the whole of india.What is a G…



363. Intelligence Failure and the next Armageddon
     I like figures of contrast. Like oxymoron. I like it very much. But what is an oxymoron? you may ask. One dictionary defines it as “a phrase that combines two words that seem to be the opposite of each other.” It gives one example: a deafening silence. But I am going to give you a long list: Extinct life. Temporary tax increase. Plastic glasses. Terribly pleased. Political science. Tight slacks. Definite maybe. Pretty ugly. Working vacation. Exact estimate. Microsoft works. If you want to fully …



364. Enlightenment Experiments By Robert Baird
     Pierre Dupont de Nemours:After arranging the Armistice that ended or settled outstanding issues after the Revolutionary War Pierre Dupont de Nemours came to join the Royals including the Hapsburgs who were living near Jefferson and other esoteric Merovingians in and around Delaware. He and his family became important armaments manufacturers and it is reasonable to remember what Eisenhower said in his Military-Industrial Complex speech. Pierre Dupont de Nemours and the Physiocrats are not reall…



365. International Terrorists Have US Partners; The Federal Trade Commission By Lance Winslow
     The Federal Trade Commission in their latest move to increase (MUD) Much Unnecessary Disclosure on the Franchisors of this Nation is helping the International Terrorists with in depth information. By requiring extra disclosure the FTC is making what would normally be private business information into public knowledge and part of the franchising rules required disclosure. Including addresses and names of all outlets and owners. The FTC will not even look into this complaint and continues to thi…



366. The Right To Die Should Be A Personal Matter
     I believe that the right to die should, in most cases, be a personal matter and not a political matter (I am talking for adults, not for children. Children, and I include teenagers in this, have not lived long enough and do not have enough life experience to decide their own fates. Some of them think the world is at an end if they get a bad grade or a pimple.). While I am a Republican (I just can't stand the thought of aligning myself with far left fanatics like Howard Dean, Ted Kennedy, Nancy P…



367. Move Aside Terrorism, Here Comes... Bird Flu! By Gary Simpson
     After years and years of being pounded daily with the negative messages of terrorism, we are now being belted around the ears with the latest depressing news... bird flu. Now, why do you think that might be happening?Sure, there is a threat - a very real threat and yes, we do need to be made aware of it. However, governments all around the world, via media outlets, are saturating our minds with the expectation of it. Just like they did with terrorism.Presidents, Prime Ministers, Ministers and …



368. Sexual Harassment is a Problem in Washington D.C. By Lance Winslow
     In Washington D.C. they just cannot seem to keep it in the pants, it seems everyone is running around spreading venereal diseases. Often Gay men will do it in the bathrooms in government buildings while on the job and being paid by the Taxpayers. Those who do it in public buildings are breaking the law. Those who break the law, are lawyers and work at the Justice Department, any regulatory agency or any public building for that matter ought to be fired for doing so. That is reasonable logic.Fi…



369. Medicade Scam; Worse than You Think By Lance Winslow
     You are not going to believe what is going on in North Western Michigan; Check this scam out, typical health care fraud. There is a $3000 allowance per month if your child is on medicade because the parent is poor. Now some of these people have six kids. So this mental health hospital; all these kids who have health care degrees scour the area to find these kids from poor people and sign them up at the hospital. The hospital is huge. No wonder all these kids who are perfectly healthy are …

     The Democratic Party stands for a lot that we can be proud of. The North Fulton Democrats have outlined the Democratic Party Values and Principles For Which We Stand:We are Pro-Constitution of the United States of America: As horrific as 9/11 was, it did not repeal our constitution The Patriot Act is impeding our constitutional civil rightsWe are Pro-Democracy: Even as we impose Democracy in foreign lands, we should not forego our own Every Citizen should have the right to vote, and the …



371. Hypocrisy of Over Regulation By Lance Winslow
     All to often law makers and regulators create rules and regulations using a linear mindset. They claim they understand the issues, even have public hearings to prove it. Yet the people who are able to attend such things are usually lawyers and losers. Losers because anyone in the market place who was winning does not have time to show up, they are too busy producing and participating in their respective industries. So they hire attorneys to show up and talk with regulators. Those attorneys who…



372. Space Colonies a Primary Goal By Lance Winslow
     Many folks who are pro-NASA and Pro-Space Colonies say that this should be our primary goal as a nation, as individuals and for corporations as well. However this argument is cut short with reality of the needs of mankind. Most individuals wish to live well, in freedom and abundance and a company's goal in the current paradigm is to grow and profit. Provide shareholders value if a corporate entity. In a small business it is to profit and use that unit for trade to provide those things needed…



373. To Grow Out Of Unemployment By Sam Vaknin, Ph.D.
     There is a connection between economic growth and unemployment. There is a connection between growth and inflation. Therefore, commonsense (and financial theory) goes, there must be a connection between inflation and unemployment. A special measure of this connection is the Non Accelerating Inflation Rate of Unemployment (NAIRU). Supposedly, this is the rate of unemployment which still does not influence inflation. If unemployment goes below NAIRU, inflationary pressures begin to exert themsel…



374. NASA Budget Space Shuttle Thoughts By Lance Winslow
     Regarding the issues with the Space Shuttle and the in flight explosion of the Columbia. I believe that of course that hindsight is always easy to use to place blame, however we must continue the program and the Space Shuttle as it sits may not be the best technology as newer technology is now available for re-useable craft such as;http://www.space.com/businesstechnology/te...tps_030307.htmlhttp://abcnews.go.com/sections/scitech/US/...ttle030210.htmlThere are newer ideas for heat tiles being c…



375. Fact to Fiction: The Brutal Truth about the Practice of Stoning By Brooke Sikula
     “Like humans void of soul or mind, they jeered and yelled as they went about selecting their most jagged stones.” – David Hearne, excerpt from Hulagu's Web.Stoning is a brutal and outdated practice that is kept alive only by Muslims under Sharia rule. Although it has been practiced since biblical times, every other culture has systematically ceased the practice in favor of more humane forms of punishment. The torturous sentence leaves the victim in agony. David Hearne, in his book Hulagu's …
