476. How Bill Cosby got it Wrong By Tamika Johnson
     Bill Cosby got it wrong. His many speeches regarding the plight of poor blacks in this country and their lack of personal responsibility, were not only off the mark, but completely irresponsible.Cosby failed to take into account many mitigating factors, in what became his regular rants about poor blacks in this country. For example, the last of the civil rights laws was passed in 1965, so it's been forty years since the physical signs of government sanctioned racism have been in place. Please…



477. Propaganda, rhetoric and repetition
     'See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda.' George Bush, 'President Participates in Social Security Conversation in New York,' May 24, 2005 We're all well acquainted with the ideas of propaganda, repetition and the Big Lie as outlined by Josef Geobells, the Nazi Minister of Propaganda: basically any lie, repeated often enough, will be believed. A corollary is that you may has well make it a …



478. Economic Sacred Cows Are Out of Milk
     Copyright 2006 Cole's Poetic License No matter which decade you went to college you probably took econ. As David Brooks of The New York Times writes, 'economics was the queen of the social sciences.' Psychology, sociology, history and anthropology were 'easier', not quite so solid. No longer. Economic theorists used to assume that people everywhere were natural 'profit-maximizing creatures trending toward reasonableness.' They believed that as people throughout the world became better educated a…



479. Anybody but BUSH!
     Anybody but BUSH!Joshua BuntonAugust 30, 2004Yesterday in New York thousands of protestors marched down seventh avenue. And, of course, C-SPAN is covering it like a big news event.I took the time to watch some of the coverage. I expected to find protestors marching for one cause and one cause only to get George W Bush out of the White House.What did I find instead? What I found was a mixture of people protesting topics from around the globe. According to the “United for Peace website” (organizat…

481. The New Face of Black Leadership: Black, Gay and Proud
     The New Face of Black Leadership: Black, Gay & Proud By: Herndon L. Davis http://herndondavis.com As we approach MLK Day and as the country contemplates this year's congressional races, there is a growing concern amongst the African-American community as to its ability or perhaps its inability to hold on to its once unshakable political power. No longer the country's largest ethnic minority and still reeling from forced comparisons of its civil rights legacy to the current day struggles of gays/…



482. The Reason There Can Never Be Peace on Earth
     There is a saying about sex, 'The fantasy is better than the reality.' There is a saying about phobias, 'The phobia is worse than the reality.' Peace on Earth is a fantasy. It will never happen. There are many reasons, and the reasons are deep, but one reason stands out above all others. If you can overcome it, if you can figure out a way around it, then you will receive the Nobel Peace Prize. Yes, you too can win the Nobel Peace Prize. Lets say that there are 200 countries on Earth today. Lets …



483. How Taxing Utilities Can Keep Governments In Check
     Under free market, all companies can talk all they want that all the stuff they put there is for my own good. However, if the product is overpriced or if it doesn't serve my interest to get the product, I just don't buy it. No companies, full with corruption and inefficiency, will last in the market, unless it is governments companies. The same mechanism doesn't apply to governments program. Indonesian governments build airplanes. It doesn't make business sense. Then every one is required to bu…



484. Council of Six By Robert Baird
     The head of the Club of Rome has said that the major issue that prevents World Peace is the matter of terminology or differences in what people mean across different cultures. I have no illusions about having devised a fool proof proposal here - but it would be nice if the dialogue existed and not until it does exist will there be much hope for real change.1. Love should be the guiding force in all actions. Any act that diminishes one life diminishes all life and the decisions of man must resp…



485. The Middle East: Prior Claims?
     A Lebanese-American named Sharon Nader Sloan recently published his thoughts on the Palestinian claims that “Palestine is their land, and that Jerusalem is their capital, and that Israel is occupying their land.” He further notes that Palestinians believe that since the West Bank is theirs, that “to resist occupation they have the right to send suicide bombers into crowded bus stations, pizza parlors, etc., and kill innocent men, women and children. And all Arab and Muslim countries support them…



486. The European Bank for the Retardation of Development By Sam Vaknin, Ph.D.
     In typical bureaucratese, the pensive EBRD analyst ventures with the appearance of compunction: "A number of projects have fallen short of acceptable standards (notice the passive, exculpating voice - SV) and have put the reputation of the bank at risk". If so, very little was risked. The outlandish lavishness of its City headquarters, the apotheosis of the inevitable narcissism of its first French Chairman (sliding marble slabs, motion sensitive lighting and designer furniture) - is, at this …



487. It's Time to Get Tough With Drunk Drivers By Anthony Bloch
     With all the education on drunk driving that our society has received in the past thirty years we feel that not much has changed. All you have to do is turn on your television every night to your local news station and hear about another tragic traffic accident caused by a drunk driver. We feel it’s time to get extremely tough with drunk drivers. We have set out what we think are appropriate penalties for Drunk Drivers.We also feel that every time a person gets into a motor vehicle while un…



488. Superior Ethics for Inferior Beings By Dawn Worthy
     Did you know that some vegans do not eat honey? They have several reasons for this:· Some bees are inadvertently killed by the breeding and harvesting practices of beekeepers· Kept bees are tantamount to at best indentured servants and at worst slaves· The natural cycle of bee proliferation is effected by removal of honey from the hive and the process of natural selection is distorted· Taking the honey from the bees is stealingGentle readers, some of you will dismiss this as balderdash withou…



489. The Homestead Revolution VI
     Part 6 of a 6 part series. Happy Slaves The lowly earthworm, slaughtered by the trillions or zillions by chemical, corporate, money lover agriculture, is worth many times the pennies it costs to buy your starter stock, if they are not readily available for free. The profitable organic food producer raises them in controlled conditions to increase their rates of reproduction, foil predators and to prevent their escape. Worms are the cheapest labor you can get for your food crops. They work nigh…



490. Be Power Smart and Save Energy By Nicky Pilkington
     Before people can be informed on the options that they have when it comes to turning their house into an energy efficient household, they need to know why it is so important to save energy. Unfortunately, most of the time, due to the fact that people are too busy to be interested or are simply overwhelmed with the everyday problems, it makes no sense to them to care about energy saving issues.However, there are environmental organizations that are doing a great job at explaining to people why …

492. IS REINSTATING THE DRAFT SUCH A BAD IDEA?
     In his bid for the presidency, John Kerry pronounced a “secret plan” to reinstate selective service. The fact that New York Democrat and fellow leftist Charles Rangel had proposed this plan wasn’t mentioned, so Kerry’s allegation created hysteria within the blue states. But there are several ways in which reinstating the draft could benefit our country.FREEDOM IS EARNEDToo many people in the United States believe that the freedoms granted them under the Constitution are an entitlement program pr…



493. Tales Of The Bizarro World
     It seems to me that at a time like this the CBS news non-story is extremely problematic not to CBS but to all the other news organizations who have been repeatedly failing to do their jobs. Just in case you haven't heard or don't know about what has happened at CBS let me explain. A politically motivated gentlemen handed CBS producers a couple of forged documents to REINFORCE a case that they already had, heaping atop the evidence that showed that our President is indeed an irresponsible coward …



494. The Politics of Freedom
     The war on terror should not be a political war. It should not be a war pitting Republican against Democrat or Christian against Muslim. The war on terror is a war on evil. There have been countless wars in our world that to some extent have protected against some level of evil. But this evil we fight today is an evil more bitter, more deadly, than anything you or I have ever lived to see. It is an evil so deeply rooted in hatred that it will take a very long time, if ever, to defeat. I am again…



495. Musical Chairs and the Razor's Edge By Mike Poff
     There is no more deep seated or emotionally heated dispute than one amongst family. This is the amusing folly the conservative movement and Republican Party finds it’s’ self in this fall before the mid-terms of 2006. Elitists, populists, neo’s, cultural, economic and every other hybrid of conservatism are marching in a circle of musical chairs around the Janet Meirs nomination. Some are complaining about the choice of this tune. Others are displeased with the seat they had and see a chance to …



496. From Democracy to Omniocracy By Charlotte Laws
     Clint Eastwood recently plunged into the murky political pond with his statement, "Extremism is so easy. You've got your position, and that's it. It doesn't take much thought. And when you go far enough to the right, you meet the same idiots coming around from the left."Is it easy to be an extremist, and is the political scale truly circular, so that the "far right" clasps hands with the "far left"? Does the left-right continuum serve as a constructive paradigm upon which society can be struct…



497. Silicon Valley Brain Drain; Bad Trade Policies, Why? By Lance Winslow
     We have brain drain issues in Silicon Valley, we have taught so many students from India, Pakistan, China all kinds of heavy duty industrial high tech studies and research and now that they cannot find jobs, many will be going back to those countries to work and with them all our technology. Brain fart? You teach them nuclear physics and you assume if they go back they will make paper dolls or something? Try nuclear weapons dummy. Besides realize that their countries will make them design t…



498. Maryland Lawyers and Politicians Want More Regulations By Lance Winslow
     We know that in Maryland, which some call “Merry Land” due to its completely liberal skew that Sarbaines Oxley laws were born. These laws no matter what anyone will tell you, have done more to upset our trade deficits with China than any other single factor. Senator Sarbaines is not even running for re-election now, which is smart because he would have major opposition and who ever was close to beating him would have on hell of a bank roll to do it. It is hard to say really which is worse; Osa…



499. Gods 401k plan
     As the starving slaves tend away at their cubicle farms, multi-national companies get fat on consumer desires. Investors fortify their crops for the season ahead garnering internal nutrients from CEO’s to assure their successful growth. Wait a minute, who is really benefiting from this? Only about five percent of the world population is according to recent studies. The rest of us are left fighting for scraps from the new harvest each year.“Look Kobe, those silly earthlings are fighting again ove…
