405. Dismal Performance of the NSA By Lance Winslow
     The NSA failed the American people and allowed the attack to occur on 9-11-2001. They had nearly an unlimited budget to work with, complete interagency trumping power and more data than God. Yet, they squandered away our chances in another huge bureaucracy of epic proportions. It is unacceptable for failure. Government’s number one job is to protect the American people, yet with all the funding, black budgets and manpower they failed. Why is this? Has the NSA become weak, drowned in bureaucrac…



406. Affirmative Action By Andy Carloff
     [Author's Note: First few sentences inspired and written Sunday, April 7, 2002, but everything beyond the first two lines was done Wednesday, April 10, 2002.]I have said before that I detest the slaughter of animals because it is tantamount to Racism. I hold an incalculable hatred for Affirmative Action, though, because it is Racism! To this Affirmative Action -- does it not lift value off of the shoulders of courage and skill and put the value on the shoulders of skin color and race? Does…



407. Return to the Land of Emmett Till By Susan Klopfer
     There are some stories that a journalist can never forget no matter how hard one tries.Like fading pictures in a photo album, certain impressions remain in the mind long after time has erased the details of the events.For one young black reporter, Cloyte Larsson, the 1955 Emmett Till murder trial was that kind of assignment.When the trial of the young Chicagoan's murderers ended in acquittal, Larsson - the only female reporter to cover this historical Mississippi Delta trial - worked abroad fo…



408. PALS in Pakistan Part Three – Why Transfer PALS to Pakistan? By Teve Torbes
     Pakistan is not unique among nuclear powers in its lack of permissive action link technology. Both China and India also lack PALS. Pakistan does, however, pose a unique risk of loss of control over its nuclear arsenal. While any country that possesses nuclear weapons would gain security benefits from installing the technology, Pakistan’s current lack of an established command and control regime makes it an urgent case for a U.S. transfer of technology.Pakistan faces several challenges in creat…



409. Bureaucracy Suffocating the Flow of Transportation By Lance Winslow
     We are slowing the transportation flows of our civilization by over burdening our transit systems, transportation companies, airlines, railroads and shipping companies with linear thought out rules and regulations. We are over regulating, over taxing and attacking the free market sector companies and this is cost America jobs, governments in tax base and hardship for travelers, vendors and industry, which rely on this transportation.When companies are over taxed passed the amount their custome…



410. Is George Bush Two-Faced? By Kathy Thompson
     Yes, Bush is two-faced. The two sides of the faces are total opposites. His personal left side shows he is happy and relaxed.The professional right side of his face is more stern and guarded. The striking difference indicates he is very moody.His SQUARE FACE indicates he is confident, a freedom lover, optimistic, aggressive, ambitious, go getter, successful organizer. He gets things done.His FOREHEAD is high, straight, and wide showing intelligence, and a logical linear thinker.The wr…



411. Don't expel Jews from Gaza!
     The following photos and words are shared with us from Israeli Yuval Zaliouk (who is from Haifa but also has a home near Toledo, Ohio). See for yourself how the Israelis, by the grace of God, have made the desert blossom as a rose, and how Sharon and Bush coldheartedly intend on uprooting such productive Israeli citizens and turning their labors of love, their blood, sweat and tears over to their sworn enemies! It's an outrage that must be stopped, so help us God!Imagine - God forbid - Bush bla…



412. Free Markets, Farmers, and GM Crops By Lance Winslow
     Many are condemning the latest GM Terminator seeds. Yet there is not need to cause a raucous because the free market will decide which seeds farmers buy? When a Corporate farmer plows under the crop for next season sometimes he uses the old seeds for new life next season. In which case he might have a problem with the newest Genetically Modified Terminator Seeds. Well then if this will be the case he should use a different seed, which will spring up next season and grow, non-terminator seeds? …

414. Facts About the Management of American Ports

The uproar began when it became public that the British company Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Co., who manages terminal at 6 US ports was being bought out by Dubai Ports World.

415. Difficult Choices
     I am a veteran and a patriot. Such a remark often makes a writer the target of ridicule or worse, but I refuse to withdraw it. It happens to be the plain, unvarnished truth. In September of 1972, on my own 18th birthday, I raised my right hand and swore solemnly to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. I served my country faithfully and was discharged with honor. I am a veteran and a patriot. That has not changed – yet that very oath…

419. The Illusion of Democracy
     The Illusion of DemocracySerbiaIn the bitter cold of Serbia’s October, tens of thousands of defiant, men and women take to the streets in protest. In unison they roar “He is finished.” They capture the parliament building in a show of defiance. Outnumbered, police relinquish power to the mob, standing idly by as young men and women storm the building. Before long, millions of uncounted ballots from the rigged elections are thrown down to the people. They shower the jubilant crowd like bursts of …



420. Joseph Campbell - Permanent Human Values By Robert Baird
     At the start of the US involvement in WWII Joseph Campbell was put in the position of having to defend culture and truth rather than go along with the crazed nationalism and outright invasion of so many public institutions through all manner of propaganda. He ended up being accused of being a Nazi by many who should have known better. The Bollingen Foundation was backed by Mellon family money and it sought to establish an integrative disciplinary approach including the mystical precepts of Mir…



421. Proven Risk Youth Vs At-Risk & High-Risk Youth By Andre Norman
     In the fields of juvenile justice policy and programming, there are certain terms that are used to describe target populations. In terms of youth who are prone to illegal and illicit acts, the two terms that are most commonly used are at-risk youth and high-risk youth. The former term is generally associated with youth who come from lower-income, urban, single-mother backgrounds. High-risk youth is a label used to categorize and describe youth who share the following characteristics:* are from…



422. The Self-Appointed Altruists By Sam Vaknin
     Their arrival portends rising local prices and a culture shock. Many of them live in plush apartments, or five star hotels, drive SUV's, sport $3000 laptops and PDA's. They earn a two figure multiple of the local average wage. They are busybodies, preachers, critics, do-gooders, and professional altruists.Always self-appointed, they answer to no constituency. Though unelected and ignorant of local realities, they confront the democratically chosen and those who voted them into office. A few of…



423. Emerging Markets, Property Law By Lance Winslow
     I read an interesting article in foreign Affairs magazine last year, and recently in the Economist also. The articles stated in some way that a country without a set of laws for property rights would mean slow-growth, lack of foreign investment and economic vitality would be scarce. While I tend to agree with this premise to some degree, I think you might enjoy a second opinion. Let me tell you where I differ, first off, a mobile business franchise is a safe investment even if property righ…



424. Rants by Lance: BRAC Committee Talks Irrelevant Completely By Lance Winslow
     It is amazing we have so many men, who belong to the greatest military in the history of mankind, pussy footing around. The politics of BRAC are not in line with the reality of protecting our nation. Additionally the men and generals who are deciding on the things are being too nice to each other and too much ego stroking to make for meaningful debate. I think they are a bunch of pussies and we need some real men to hash this out, who are doing it for our nation, not their friends or fiefdoms.…



425. Lost and Found in Gaza By Dr. Mel Glazer
     The evacuation of Gaza is now completed, and the world has been watching closely. As a proud member of the Jewish People, I have nothing but admiration for the soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces, for the humane way they carried out this most difficult military assignment. Most soldiers train to fight against their enemies; the Israeli army was specially trained to evacuate their own families, friends, and sometimes even their own rabbis and teachers. In fact, there was nothing easy about t…
