1126. Fair Trade and Pearls in the U.S. By Kevin Canning
      Guides for RetailersThe regulations about marketing pearls are listed in the FTC’s Guides for the Jewelry, Precious Metals, and Pewter Industries. The guide is very specific about what retailers should call a pearl. Gems that are created when a mollusk is nucleated must be called “cultured pearls.” “Imitation pearls” are any product that is designed to look like a pearl. “Seed pearls” are a small pearl that measures less than 2 mm.The FTC goes into specifics to help make sure consumers are…



1127. Politics And Fun - Can The Two Mix?
      Birmingham Hodge Hill, the week before the 2005 parliamentary by-election. A team of Conservatives, both young and old, pour off the campaign coach ready to... have their photograph taken outside the Labour headquarters with Boris Johnson. Yes, even in the most frantic of campaigns, political parties have never been adverse to enjoying themselves at the same time. Thousands of leaflets were delivered that day but, when the dust has settled on the campaign, what many people will remember is Labou…



1128. Liberalism – A Mark Too Low A Price Too High By Michael Bresciani
      After the dance the piper must be paid. To help us calculate the cost of paying the piper we will borrow from the math of physics. In the laws of physics there resides an immutable principle whose exact formulations I do not know, but even a novice like me can know how it works. If you throw logs on a flame (cause), a roaring fire is what you get. (Effect) I know it probably seems too dumb, bothering to explain something so simple. But I for one believe it is the ability to see this that most …



1129. Me and Mao Tse-Tung!
      My first political experience was with Mao Tse-Tung on 1968-69. That political experience occured in Sudan not in China! I could possibly see right now some surprises on the faces of my valued readers.That was exactly before the second Sudanese military dictator Ga'far Numeri took over power through his coup d'etat in May 25, 1969.I was at the final level of my intermediate school and about to receive the results of the high secondary school examination that time. I read a lot of Mao's Red Book…



1130. Sweet Lies, The Aspartame Issue By Betty Martini
      Aspartame activists are constantly being attacked because all data are a matter of public record from congressional records to government documents. Now there is even a movie, Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World (www.docworkers.com) that exposes how Don Rumsfeld got aspartame approved even though the FDA said no. Go to this link to see a clip of the movie exposing the politics Rumsfeld used: http://www.soundandfury.tv/pages/Rumsfeld2.html Bullington used the issue of when I lectured for the W…



1131. Without Country
      Without CountryTerry Dashner“’If you are ever tempted to say a word or to do a thing that shall put a bar between you and your family, your home, and your country, pray God in his mercy to take you that instant home to his own heaven. Stick by your family, boy; forget you have a self—while you do everything for them. Think of your home, boy; write and send, and talk about it. Let it be nearer and nearer to your thought, the farther you have to travel from it and rush back to it, when you are fre…



1132. Let me throw out a random thought on Homeland Security Leadership Structure By Lance Winslow
      Streamlining Homeland Security with a Free market flair? An idea of adding four more components to the joint chiefs of staff; hire a Jack Welch type as an ombudsman to the group, who does not play rank games. Two; Have an additional force called Biological Warfare for both defensive military and civilian populations; Homeland security force to unite the police forces, law enforcement agencies and private sector database team. Add a division to the defensive plan for space efforts with an ombud…



1133. HOW TO DATE ANN COULTER (IF YOU MUST)
      HOW TO DATE ANN COULTER (IF YOU MUST)by Kenn GividenKennGividen@WritersBureau.orgI’ve decided to go public with my intentions: I will not be asking Ann Coulter for a date. There are some good reasons. First, I’m married. Second, there is a substantial age differential. And, third, I fear rejection.While reading Coulter’s book, How to Talk to Liberals (If You Must), I thought about the prospects.A single, middle-aged guy who’s still trying to look like he’s in his 20s would make a perfect match. …



1134. AMERICA , LAND OF THE FREE , HOME OF THE BRAVE!
      'But for how long ? !' We send our brave men and women off to fight in a foreign land , while we allow certain anti Christian government officials to little by little chip away and remove the vary 'GOD given' freedoms that we sent them off to defend! We allowed the BIBLE to be removed from our public schools while we allowed the' theory' of evolution to be forcibly taught to our Children we look at incidents like Columbine and we hear a woman who's lost a child in a school shooting say GOD how …



1135. The Things That Stay Important To Us... By Laura Walker
      Selfless Service 1LT Laura Walker walked into my classroom just over five years ago as a Yearling in CH101. She was intelligent, professional, and had a positive attitude that was infectious to the underclassmen. Laura branched engineers and I was happy to see that she chose Fort Lewis—a post that I myself was headed to. Laura was a top platoon leader in the Task Force and was hand-picked to become the Task Force’s Public Affairs Officer (PAO) where we worked together to showcase the great th…



1136. Is speech really free?
      Freedom of speech is one of the greatest defining features of a civilised society. Those of us living in the free world can look upon our democracy with pride and the knowledge that we have the right to speak our minds. We are free to express our opinions, unlike in countries such as Afghanistan where basic rights are stifled. Yet how free though is our freedom of speech? There are still topics in life where we are restricted. Legal requirements to stop people talking on matters of national secu…



1137. PALS in Pakistan Part Six - Objections to PALS
      Some arms control experts voice a variety of objections to transferring PALS technology to Pakistan and other states. These range from objections to the likelihood of Pakistan's acceptance of the program to political objections to the ramifications that granting Pakistan PALS will have on other states that are considering proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. While there may be validity to some of these objections, the on balance effect of a technology transfer program dealing with PALS …



1138. Poverty in America: Over 35 Million Living Below the Poverty Line By Ofer Shoshani
      The problem of poverty in America comes as a surprise. How can a wealthy nation experience poverty? Though the rate of poverty is lower in a developed nation like America than in Africa, the problem of poverty is real. Inner-cities and rural communities in America are all affected by poverty.In 2004 the American government defined poverty as a family of four living with an income below $18,810. However, consider the costs in America of housing, utilities, transportation, food, health care, and…



1139. Great Melting Pot Indeed By Lance Winslow
      An interesting conversation that I thought I must share with you. Today in a coffee shop in the United States of America the subject matter turned to South of the Border. We discussed the politically hot topic of Illegal Immigration to the US from Mexico. In our discussion we both agreed that all of our ancestors came here from somewhere else. Of course many of us have at least some native Indian in our bloodlines.Since we are the great melting pot, which I pointed out to my new found conversa…



1140. You've Come a Long Way, Baby? By Jane Bixler
      Pharmacists refusing to fill birth control prescriptions written by qualified health care providers, based on personal and moral beliefs? Many women find it hard to fathom such a quandary. Could it be true that in the year 2005, some forty years after oral contraception was initially marketed, reproductive rights are yet again being challenged?It has been seen all over the country, in companies as world renowned as Wal-Mart, which was among several pharmacies refusing women to obtain the pill …



1141. Battling Society's Cancer: Unemployment By Sam Vaknin, Ph.D.
      The official figures are staggering: 35% of the workforce - about 280,000 people - are unemployed and looking for a job. Each 1.43 employee support 1 unemployed person. In the USA the figure is 3.3 to 4 employees supporting all the unemployed AND all the pensioners!The truth is less ominous. Many employed people in Macedonia go unreported. Their employers prefer not to report them as employed in order to avoid paying social benefits and retirement benefits to the state. This greatly distorts t…



1142. Muslims and the media
      Muslims and the media It's been clearly demonstrated that just one spark is sufficient to light the fuse, if the fuse has been primed and correctly prepared. The continuing global disturbances and chaos caused by protesters claiming Islamic affiliation is the most current example. I doubt whether Danish Newspaper Jyllands-Posten could ever have anticipated the scale of the response the publishing of so-called caricatures of the Islamic Holy Prophet Muhammed would cause. I say so-called, because…



1143. NAFTA; What did we learn? By Lance Winslow
      A quick look back at NAFTA; how did we do?Stabilizing trade relations with your bordering neighbors is a smart move indeed. Did NAFTA live up to the objectives set forth? Two decades before we initiated NAFTA, there were issues which needed to be resolved to keep peace and help Mexico move up in the World to her full potential. Today NAFTA, which covers all of North America and Mexico and a few other partners has rules such as 51% of all vehicles are to be built in a NAFTA country. Again the r…



1144. Mahatma Gandhi: Destroyer of the Nation By Kedar Joshi
      This article argues that Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) was a destroyer of the nation (i.e. India) and moreover a threat to the national unity, integrity, and progress. His threefold satanic legacy is constituted of his: 1. Principle of non-violence and misconception of truth 2. Idea of primordial lifestyle 3. Self-centred dictatorship All these three points are quite interwoven and ultimately support how he would have continued to destroy the nation.1. Gandhi wrongly thought that the pri…



1145. Why Don't We Listen To Entrepreneurs? By Lance Winslow
      I just got done reading a series of articles dating from December 2000 to September 2001 (pre-9-11) regarding Larry Ellison's bush to get the government to link all it's databases. Now everyone agrees, but now we are post 9-11. I wonder if Larry Ellison as loud as he can be sometimes ever stood up and said I told ya so? He would have every right to. He warned us. Gates did too, maybe not as verbal about it or graphic as Larry Ellison described the government’s computer databases like a file ca…



1146. What If TV News Had Covered D-Day?
      Imagine: What if today’s American TV news had been there to cover D-Day, June 6, 1944?“Good morning, this is Peter Jennings at ABC News in Washington with this special report. The War Department is confirming this morning that Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of Normandy, is now in motion. Unfortunately, the news from the battleground is grim for American forces. Despite attacking with the largest military force in history, the Allies appear to have lost this battle before it has begun. W…



1147. Want Free Money from the Government? By Lance Winslow
      Have you ever noticed that our civilization rewards schmucks and cheats rather than the best citizens? Have you ever noticed all the programs and the monies we spend to rehabilitate folks and how little we spend to reward those who do good and actually propel our nation forward?If you want to get your fair share of free money from the government the easiest way is to do a crime, as there is lots of money available for druggies, criminals and other offenders in re-habilitation grants and federa…



1148. THE GOLDSMITHS
      This is a short and simple story. It may be called a fable, but it is true in its portrayal of how our present money system evolved. Many years ago, a certain rich man wanted to go abroad for a two-year vacation. He owned, in cash, ten thousand shekels of gold. He could not take the gold with him because of its weight and the danger of being robbed; so he went to a goldsmith to ask if he could leave his gold with him for safekeeping. The goldsmith, who had a large secure storage facility similar…



1149. Stopping a Nuclear Bomb on a Hydrofoil By Lance Winslow
      The US Homeland Security is worried about Hydrofoil or Skimmer Craft used as fast moving bombs on water entering one of our ports or Naval shipyards. If you will remember the XXX” Movie with the Hydrofoil Craft with a Biological Weapon which would kill millions of people if it released it’s gaseous cargo.http://www.hollywoodjesus.com/movie/xxx/27.jpeghttp://www.hollywoodjesus.com/xxx_photo.htmAlthough this is hypothetical it is also very possible. One study described our many inlets and rivers…



1150. Experts? By Robert Baird
      ACCREDITATION: - Scholastic regimentation from the post WWII period has accelerated to the point that Canada won't let an Olympic figure skating medalist teach or coach young Canadians the errors and damages of the present system. She could earn more in the U. S. or other places but she is willing to do this for free if they would let her. How would Einstein or Bucky Fuller become professors in today's structured adherence to accepted models of learning? Canada is held up as a fine example by …
