926. Was Pakistan a British Creation? By Ranjit Hira
     The furore in the BJP camp in India, triggered by L K Advani’s recent remarks about Jinnah being a secular person and yet the founder of Pakistan, seems to have subsided. What is the real, historical truth? Recently unsealed British top-secret archives provide a stunningly different version of what really happened during the cataclysmic partition, in 1947, of India into three separate and distinct entities.Prior to India’s independence, it was widely believed that India was not likely to survi…



927. Ronald Reagan: Hero or Villain?
     D-e-a-t-h. The mention of that five-letter word instills fear into many. Only a few mortals could dare death like the poet John Donne. When his beloved brother died, he wrote death these damning lines: Death do not be proud/ Though some have called thee mighty and dreadful/ But thou art not so/ Nor yet canst thou kill me/ and Death shall be no more/ Death thou shalt die.The poet was audacious. However, one year after writing his poem, Death killed John Donne. So, 'Pale Death, with impartial ste…



928. Political Sports Player of the Week - Oct. 10, 2005
     Mohamed ElBaradei is this week's Political Sports Player of the Week. Mr. Baradei and the organization he leads, The International Atomic Energy Agency, won this year's Nobel Peace Prize, which was announced this week. The White House strongly criticized ElBaradei in the period leading up to the start of the Iraq War, contending that his findings, indicating that Iraq did not have any WMD, including nuclear weapons, was absolutely wrong.

929. Priests Perform Purification Rituals After Bush Visits
     When President Bush visits a country, he often evokes many different kinds of reactions and as a result security is a big issue. During last week's tour of India and Pakistan, security was especially tight, because the trip took him physically close to Osama bin Ladin than he has ever been. To conceal its profile, Air Force One flew without lights through the night and once on the ground, two helicopters and a motorcade rushed him everywhere that he and the first lady needed to go. During his r…



930. Censorship, Our Enemy By Andy Carloff
     "If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear." -- George Orwell, Notes on Nationalism"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." -- Evelyn Beatrice Hall, The Friends of Voltaire (1906)"It is always to be taken for granted, that those who oppose an equality of rights never mean the exclusion should take place on themselves." -- Thomas Paine, On First Principles of Government (1795)"Where they have bur…



931. The Absurdity of the Public School Monopoly By Joel Turtel
     The notion that local governments should have almost total monopoly control over our children’s education is not only unjust and tyrannical, it is also absurd. Children need education, to be sure, but they also need food, clothing, and shelter. The same poor or irresponsible parents who public-school apologists claim will not educate their children without compulsion, might not feed, clothe, or shelter them either.Yet, we do not see local governments owning and operating supermarkets, departme…



932. Move Washington DC to New Orleans By Lance Winslow
     Due to the lack of ability of the State of Louisiana to protect her citizens, due the lack of New Orleans to beef up their levee system in the last 35 years and due to the inability of the Governor of the State of Louisiana and the Mayor of New Orleans to help their own folks we should not give money to repair the city. We have no way of knowing the money will be properly spent, since that city is known for corruption. Instead we should allow them to sink or swim on their own. It appears that …



933. A Chat with Osama
     After speaking with Saddam, I was not especially surprised to hear from Osama. He did not care to speak with me off the record and wanted me to record and publish our conversation. He said he could no longer imagine talking to any American in a position of authority. He said he had been trying to do that for more than twenty years and the response was always; who are you that we should listen? He felt he had satisfactorily answered the question of who he was and noted that it produced no meanin…



934. MURALS
     “MURALS” ( A brief excerpt from our book ) The abstract notion of ‘society’, much touted by politicians, is, of course, a shibboleth. Society is the sum total of human relationships especially those we designate as 'role-playing'. Man is a social being and his life is by definition contextual. How he relates to himself, his work, his friends, his past, his present, his future, his family and the world in general determines his life and defines him. From the wastelands of the social pariah to th…



935. Privacy Versus Security
     Lately the far left, the Democrats, certain left wing celebrities, ultra liberal newspaper reporters and editors and network news reporters and commentators have been ranting and raving about how President Bush has illegally taken away our right to privacy by signing an Executive Order allowing the National Security Agency to intercept certain communications between people of interest, in the United States, and people in certain other countries. Many of the foregoing are even saying that the Pre…



936. The Morality of Using Stem Cells By Jackie Wellman
     One third of all fertilized eggs spontaneously abort and are expelled from a woman's body. We do not have funerals or mourn these embryos. Could it be that they are not really "babies" yet? Only when it is convenient do people call these clumps of cells, babies or fetuses. They are not fetuses. Stem cells are retrieved when the embryo is about five days old. There is a big difference between an embryo and a fetus. The thought of not using a five day old clump of cells that is going to b…



937. Over Population of Earth by the Human Species By Lance Winslow
     Our innate needs to procreate and continually populate the Planet earth like a plague is causing some issues, which may in fact turn our bright future and destiny into a mirage of desperation. How so you ask?Well let’s take for instance our fresh water supply, if humans need an abundance of water supply and there are more humans then you need more water since human beings need surface water is fresh to live, we need to think of ways to turn saltwater into freshwater and to have enough of such …



938. Genetically Modified Plants Could Become Sentinels for the Military By Thomas Clouser
     As concerns grow over the threat of bioterrorism and weapons of mass destruction, Penn State University genetic researchers are working on an early warning system -- the figurative canary in the mineshaft -- that could be as unobtrusive and ubiquitous as plants in a landscape. This “canary” is a specially engineered plant or group of plants designed to detect and signal the presence of many harmful chemical or biological agents.In theory, soldiers could be equipped with a hand-held electronic…



939. Legislators, not sober drivers, are ones with impaired judgment
     Open-container bill wouldn’t make roads safer, but it would make life more difficult for drivers--It’s a good thing that the current open-container bill wasn’t law when I was a newspaper reporter. One of our photographers could have unwittingly broken the law as we covered a story.We joined two hilarious volunteers, a lawyer and a funeral-home director, for the city-wide cleanup. Their mission: To become real garbagemen. They debated what to do with goopy trash bags they dubbed radioactive (“Rea…



940. Do You Hate President Bush? By Lance Winslow
     Do you hate the President? The reason I ask is that you maybe reading Bush wrong and might need to adjust your media sources for intake, do not get caught up in the sound and fury of the world power struggle as in the end everyone is all on the same team, they just are jockeying for pole position, which is human nature in primate bi-pod politics of such upright walking species. Rather than choosing sides, you might wish to realize that.Indeed, the masses are caught up in the game and have surr…



941. The Contemporary Global Marketplace - IT, Software, and Services By Jack Brown
     "Had there not been outsourcing and utilization of cheaper resources offshore, average computer users would not have been able to afford the hardware and software that are available to them today." In this manner, author Robin Sood brushes aside superficial criticism of outsourcing and brings home to the reader of IT, Software and Services: Outsourcing and Offshoring two key points: outsourcing is already widely used and its positive effects go well beyond increased company profits. Forget abo…



942. Spies In The Ointment ----For US Ports
     Funny how the debate over the United Arab Emirates management takeover of US port facilities fails to focus on spying as a major concern. Nothing less than the security of the Ports of New York, New Jersey, Baltimore, Miami and even New Orleans, a major choke point of America's oil supplies, is at stake. Enough has been written about how petrodollar flows find their way into the hands of militant Islamists and finance the forces of world terrorism to establish it as fact. These money transfers m…



943. Debt Relief and Reality Check By Lance Winslow
     The United States and other first world nations have been asked to forgive debts of foreign third world nations. We have obliged in doing so. This is a tremendous gift to the world, yet there are a few problems with this. Number one; that money, we as a nation are paying interest on the debt. It adds to our national debt. Another issue is that when you give away money you make others weak; “give a man a fish” theory. Often when we give other nations monies we do so for a specific ear marked us…



944. Federal Trade Commission Will Not Monitor MLM Companies By Lance Winslow
     Having been to every city in the country over the population of 10,000 in the last four years I have been noticing a trend. I have seen Multi-Level Marketing folks hard selling their business opportunities in public presentations. Listening to these sales pitches in nearly every coffee shop I have step foot and stayed for more than one hour; it is now obvious to me that these MLM people are making at least 25,000 to 40,000 of these presentations per day in public places. This estimate includes…



945. US Senate and Future Holographic Virtual Reality Technology Video Conferencing By Lance Winslow
     Can we free up some of the US Senators time? Can we keep them at home more in their own districts away from the sleaze and corruption, votes for sex, and massive onslaught of special interest lobbyists? It would be safer for our nation too, as having too many Senators in one place in such a high-risk city is not the smartest thing in the world. By sending the Senators back to their districts they will better serve their constituency and thus serve the people better. But how on Earth can we get…



946. Let's Restrict the Definition of Marriage for Straights
     The debate du jour across the country is whether to legitimatize homosexual unions with the title of “marriage.” The primary argument against this move is that doing so dilutes the meaning of marriage and diminishes the family, which is one of the cornerstones of civilization. I happen to agree with this perspective. However, there are heterosexual couplings that also fit that template. Perhaps we should also restrict the definition of “marriage” for heterosexuals as well.The most visible – and …



947. This time, they've gone too far
     June 23rd, the Supreme Court crossed the line. An Associated Press story headline read: 'The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that local governments may seize people’s homes and businesses — even against their will — for private economic development.' Please read this, because this decision will set a precedent to usurpe your rights as a property owner. In my opinion, this is completely unconstitutional. I urge you to write to all your lawmakers (links provided at the bottom of this page) to expr…



948. The Road To Anarchy By S. D. Harrell
     The first Hispanic Los Angeles mayor in a hundred years, Antonio Villaraigosa, says he’s a peacemaker. Tragically, he has been given his first test.On July 10, 2005, a 19-month-old Hispanic child, Suzie Marie Pena, was shot to death as her father, Jose Raul Pena, held her in his arms. The police said the father was using the baby as a human shield and they had no choice in shooting her. A story contradicted by the child’s mother, witnesses and other relatives.What incenses me, besides the fac…



949. We The People By S. D. Harrell
     Just who are “the people?” It appears some of our politicians haven’t quite got a handle on that. Or of their job descriptions, for that matter. They need to get back to basics concerning the reason for their inhabitation of offices in the Capitol complex and the White House. So maybe the question should be, “Who are the people in the eyes of politicians?” To politicians are they, as experience and time confirms, only those scant few they pay attention to nominally around election time and des…



950. Spark Propulsion Assist for Wind Turbine Generators By Lance Winslow
     The most modern Wind Generators are huge with some of the blades of the propellers over three stories high. A large fan blade or propeller moving that is that large not only moves through a lot of airflow, but it indeed picks up a lot of static electricity, which can be of detriment to the electrical system and cause corrosion. It may also be very important to consider the issues during lightning storms as bolts of lightning look for discharge and energy from the ground will go back up again.h…
