526. Gone With the Wind Almost Did Not Make It By Bill Cherry
     Corporate America has been shaken recently by lawsuits and criminal charges of fraud by Enron, Martha Stewart and Tyco. Huge companies who lied to stockholders, the SEC and the government. They all took stockholders’ money and then violated their trust by mishandling it for the profit of top officers. Good old common greed at work at its best. But isn’t that what’s becoming of America? It’s all about the money.For instance, the movie classic Gone With The Wind almost didn’t make it to the…



527. International Law, Dangerous Precedents, and Reality Check By Lance Winslow
     Regarding International Law, Treaties and Agreements. In reality it is not as it seems. On the surface we all pretend to be on the up and up. The United States is a very proper nation in terms of our treaties and agreements and have been for hundreds of years, but no one else is; i.e. Oil-4-Foods, 3800 Chinese Spies in D.C., French Foreign Legion spying and shenanigans, Israeli spying, Russian Spying, Syrian games all supposedly on our side in or declared non-hostiles.Today we have extortion n…



528. PALS and Pakistan Part One – Introduction to Permissive Action Links By Teve Torbes
     In the aftermath of September 11th, Pakistan has been thrust into a new relationship with the United States. Questions about domestic reaction to this relationship have given rise to fears of Islamic fundamentalist groups compromising the security of Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal and even suggestions that the United States should prepare for possible military action within Pakistan to seize control over its nuclear weapons (Davidson and Global Security Newswire). Other commentators have suggested…

530. Pilot-Less and High Speed Train Transportation Systems; Better Strategy Needed By Lance Winslow
     We recently saw another ferry accident, this one in NY when the pilot of the vessel fell asleep, which may have been a medical situation or condition, but never the less, accidents like these would be prevented by pilot-less transit systems. This would be no problem with modern technology. We know in the future this will be an accepted method and fully safe.Today we will see a union propaganda road show with the media incited fear in our citizenry to protect their jobs through a blocking of th…



531. China: Tibet Standoff By Lalith Ninan
     The People’s Liberation Army of China invaded Tibet in 1949. Since then each Tibetan has a many a tale of oppression, forced occupancy and violation of fundamental rights to narrate. Tibet is now home of several hundred thousands of troops who forcefully manages the daily affairs of a once free nation.The Chinese government claims that it has the right to ownership of Tibet neither because of the military conquest nor because of the so-called “Seventeen Point Agreement for the Peaceful Liberat…



532. FTC Franchise Rule Making Sound and Fury in the Sand Box of Free Markets By Lance Winslow
     Today we have a new franchise report from the Federal Trade Commission to further inhibit the franchise model thru more redundant paper work and over regulation, which will only serve the lawyers and give job security to the bureaucrats. However, it serves no free man in this present period. If you look at all the comments in the FTC’s franchise report and rule making session; you see dickering from both sides over phrases, disclosure topics, wording in the UFOCs from lawyers, franchise right…



533. Time to Stop the Insanity By Charles Stone
     This is a plea to stop the madness. The "Drug War" so beloved of politicians and cops and all of those who wish to exert control over the behavior of others is in reality a war against ourselves, perpetrated by ourselves and the only casualties are ourselves.We have taken a public health issue and turned it into a moral crusade. We pack our courts and jails with people whose only crime is looking for a little escape from reality while we set violent criminals free. We deny substances with med…



534. White Farms, Black Farmers
     The Western press casts him in the role of an African Saddam Hussein. Neighboring leaders supported his policies but then succumbed to diplomacy and world opinion and, with a few notable exceptions, shunned him. The opposition in and its mouthpieces accuse him - justly - of brutal disregard for human, civil, and political rights and of undermining the rule of law.All he wants, insists Comrade - his official party title - Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe is to right an ancient wrong by returning land, e…



535. On The Privatization of Social Security By Dr. Alexander Ma
     Reform Social Security has been talked of Capital Hill for many years. However, it is just put in a real action by President Bush recently. The reason is Social Security could have shortage to pay retirees by year 2018 and bankruptcy by year 2042 because the growth of retirees is faster than the contributors of Social Security. Privatization is the process of putting percentage of payroll tax of Social Security into private account that can be invested into stocks and bounds markets. Stocks an…

537. Maximizing Efficiency at Our Airports By Lance Winslow
     Our Airports have excess capacity, which is not being used due to the fact that many airliners sit during the nighttime and fly during the day. This is only one problem we have that can be solved through better optimization. You can go to any large airport in this country and see how few aircraft are taking off in the middle of the night.This is a problem at Airports, where aircraft are usually parked in the middle of the night and fewer and fewer red eye flights these days. Most of this is du…



538. It's The Democrats Who Discriminate By Anthony Bloch
     We have been told that it's Republicans who are racists and the ones who discriminate against minorities. This is not true. We only have to look at Democratic and Republican ideologies to find out who the real bigots are. The party that discriminates against minorities is the Democratic party. Are you surprised? Well you shouldn't be.So lets analyze the Democrats ideology on minorities. Democrats and Liberals believe that we must throw money at immigrants and minorities in order for thos…



539. Suicide Prevention in Prisons By Lance Winslow
     Prison guards and corrections professionals are hard at work insuring that suicides do not take place. They have special attire, suits, straps, rubber rooms and event blankets, which cannot be tied in knots. Those who are believed to be a risk of suicide are checked on every 15 minutes. But it is nearly impossible to completely prevent suicide. The Suicide Prevention Resource Center (SPRC) supports suicide prevention with some science, skills and practice. If you want to learn more about thi…



540. The Public Is Enemy Number One By S. Harrell
     There is something egregiously wrong about a government that will not listen to its people especially in, dare I say it, a democracy.Poll after poll warns that people are opposed to the government’s specious solutions for social security, they are opposed to the Medicaid cuts and they are opposed to congress in general, opinion showing the majority of people believe those on the hill are doing a poor job overall.Polls also show that consumer confidence is down and, tellingly, the only large re…



541. How To Stand For Local Council
     Many individuals want to take a greater role in their community and give something back by becoming a local councillor. It is a fulfilling role, but also an incredibly time consuming one, which should not be taken on lightly without full consideration. To stand in a council election there are some legal requirements. First, you must be a British or Commonwealth citizen of at least 21 years of age, be of sound mind, free from bankruptcy and imprisonment (no more than 3 months can have been served…



542. How the poor were lost.
     Copyright 2006 Vincent Wilmot When the poor were the majority. The poor in developed countries like the USA and UK are now a minority, though up to maybe the 1950's or 1960's they had been a majority. While the poor were a majority their main problems were simply economic poverty and economic exploitation. Government bodies manned by the upper and middle classes understood this sufficiently to be able to handle the poor with some appropriateness, if not always entirely to the poor's liking. The …



543. Politics and Friends on the web.
     Politics and Friends on the Web; Today is a very sad day for me. I always believed that friendships were sacred. But I have found out that what may be a fact for me is not always that for someone else. I have also learned that friendship and politics do not seem to mix. If that is so, then how will we ever have peace in this our country or in any where else in the world. I was enjoying posting on a Politics and Religion Board of fellow authors, which seemed to me would be objective and intellige…

     Thank Catholic schools for faith in every student Their high achievement comes as they spend half the money of Indiana’s public schoolsby Sheri Conover SharlowLibertarian Writers' Bureauhttp://www.writersbureau.orgWhile government schools scream about small cuts in their state funding, Catholic schools will celebrate the great work they do with half the per-student spending of their counterparts.This is Catholic Schools Week, when schools nationwide will showcase what they do for millions of chi…



545. If At First You Don't Succeed...
     ...try, try again! That's how the saying goes. And the American left adheres to that philosophy like no other! For years the left has been trying 'Bish is Hilter' and 'Bush is Evil' and 'Conservatives are NAZIs' as their main 'intellectual' debate against the current President of these United States and doing so without success. Dropping poll numbers have nothing to do with left wing lunatics and their ranting but rather a disenchanted conservative base tired of open borders, rampant spending, p…



546. Iran: The all new Russia and China game
     As we get closer to the scheduled 6 nation meeting in London on Monday, January 30th, that is supposed to discuss a draft resolution to refer Iran to the UN Security Council for its secret nuclear weapons program at the next meeting of IAEA board of governors on February 2nd, Tehran Mullahs anxiously, as they did not expect this to happen until March, are trying to somehow join up with Russia and China to stop the matter from escalating further. Russia and China are two permanent members of the…



547. National Security and the Press Part Five – Constitutionality of Restraints on Coverage By Teve Torbes
     One other significant problem for freedom of reporting is that despite the existence of guidelines for how embedded reporters should be treated, the individual experience of reporters can be largely controlled by the local commander in charge of them. In fact, during the first Persian Gulf War, the informal restrictions imposed on some journalists were so onerous that they were unable to transmit any information until after the conclusion of the conflict. Sherry Ricchiardi, Preparing for War,…



548. Nationalism
     This article discusses how governments seek public endorsement of their policies through Nationalism. In speeches and on Vietnam memorials it always states that the soldiers, who died, died for our freedom. This is really strange and illogical. We actually lost the war. Did the victorious 'Charlie Cong' storm America and enslave us? Once we left Vietnam, we hardly had anything to do with them and they no longer posed a problem. But did they ever pose a problem? It seems the word 'Communist' was …



549. My Two Cents--Did You Exercise Your Voting Muscle?
     Whether or not you are pleased with the results of the 2004 election, the season of high intensity politicking has mercifully come and gone . . . for now. This election day, tens of millions of Americans exercised their voting muscle--more than 120 million by some estimates, or 60-percent of eligible voters--and that's encouraging. Kudos to you if you can count yourself a member of this group! Still other tens of millions of Americans did not vote--many of them between the ages of 18 and 30, the…



550. The Price of Loyalty
     With the recent shakeups in the presidential cabinet, it has frequently been observed that the quality most treasured in the present administration is that of loyalty.Is that such an admirable quality?We prize the loyalty of our friends who protect our good name when we are not present. We respect the loyalty of committed couples who stay true to each other no matter the outside temptations. We recognize the loyalty of employees who stand by their ethics and keep competitors and enemies at bay. …
