1176. The Divided Language By Brendan Ryan
      I was dismayed to learn the other day, that my all-time favourite George Bernard Shaw quote may not in fact have been uttered by him.Nevertheless, even the misquotation that Britain and the United States are two countries divided by a common language, will ring true with any British Expat who has tried to make their new home in America.There are hundreds and probably thousands of words that are different or embody a changed meaning or intent.British people coming to America often assume that t…



1177. Voters are to Blame for Bad Politics
      When I was growing up, I actually considered a career in politics. I quickly changed my mind, though, when I discovered that there was way too much politics involved in it. Obviously, that's a play on words, but I get funny looks from people when I tell them that. However, I am completely serious. The politics of running for and holding elective office is influenced too much by the politics of power, influence, and money. But whose fault is it that such a condition exists? I believe voters have …



1178. Thoughts on Democracy and Political Dialogue
      1. IS HAVING A DEMOCRACY MORE EFFECTIVE IN ADDRESSING POLITICAL CONCERNS? The answers below, except for item 3, are a composite of what has come out of 3 Christian web sites in trying to answer the above question. 1) Winston S. Churchhill used to say 'Democracy is the worst system of government we have, except for all the others. 2) Democracy is more effective, if it upholds the protection and advancement of individual well-being, through good public education, civil liberties, and a largely un…



1179. Protecting Children From Porn By Don One
      There’s a new Michigan state register (at https://www.protectmichild.com/) in the works to create a database of e-mail addresses that cannot (under penalty of the law) be spammed with content that could be deemed objectionable to children, most notably porn. The database will extend to include pager and cell phone numbers sometime in the future. Right now, it’s sort of like the national DO NOT CALL registry, but for electronic mail.What happens is that parents and guardians write or phone in t…



1180. Count Rumford By Robert Baird
      Why did FDR say Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and Count Rumford were the three most important Americans? (1) Why did the Holy Roman Empire and the Hapsburgs make Benjamin Thompson a nobleman? James Bond had nothing on this man of mystery.FDR lauds their intellect and does not say why they were truly all that important. He is part of the same ‘octopus’ but at a lower level or ‘front’ for political purposes. Jefferson was a politician as was Franklin too, but that is not why they are so im…



1181. The Dehumanization Of Humanity By S. D. Harrell
      As I read over the account of Leslie Burke, the British citizen who argued for the right to stay alive if circumstances arose where doctors thought he should be put to death by starvation, a case which he lost on appeal, I prayed that I would never find myself infirm and helpless and unable to keep doctors or relatives from killing me. It’s a shame that I should have to pray this prayer, but we are living in times where the dehumanizing of human beings is prevalent. We are living in societies …



1182. The Cabal, Miss Miers, and How We Know that God is a Democrat By John T Jones, Ph.D.
      I’ve learned three things this week.First, the President is a very intelligent man.I learned that from his latest Supreme Court nominee, Harriet Miers, who has known the president for a long time and remains close to him to this day. She was not approved by the Senate for saying that. In fact, she was not given due cordiality by the Senate. It was more like, “What the hell are you doing over here? Get your pretty butt back to the Whitehouse.” She was not treated as a human being by the nonhum…



1183. Political Radio Advertising for 2006 By Scott Perreault
      With the landscape of American politics becoming extremely polarized, the scope and type of radio commercials that are produced will be challenged to offer rhetoric and copy that touches the heart and not deflect off the shield that surrounds the soul of most voters. The conditioning of the mind has been evolving since the first political radio commercials.Scott Radio (www.scottradio.com) a radio political voice and script writing organization conducted a survey of over five hundred radio list…



1184. A Look Ahead to 2008 (Part II)
      Last week, I began my look ahead to the 2008 presidential campaign with the potential Republican candidates. Today, I will continue by taking a look at the potential Democratic candidates. Among them are New York Senator and former First Lady Hillary Clinton, former Vice President Al Gore, New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, Indiana Senator Evan Bayh, Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack, former Vermont Governor Howard Dean, North Carolina Senator John Edwards, Illinois Senator-elect Barack Obama, Nevada…



1185. George W. Bush: The Feline-Ferret President
      Pet stores offer the perfect outlet for the Pet-Looker, those of us who experience on occasion, a sudden impulsive urge to own a pet. A quick breeze past the dogs accompanied by much cooing-'That Jack Russell is adorable! Look at that! Sleeping in his dog bowl!'- is recommended Pet-Looker therapy that usually does the trick. The urge to own is satisfied. Memories of total responsibility and time involved required to own a pet kick in. The Pet-Looker moves onward and forward. My son and I recentl…



1186. Hate Crimes In Paradise By Nanci Holloway-Prince
      I wrote a book two years ago “Corruption In America’s Paradise”, it’s a free read on the Internet. I wrote the book because just after our second season in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands we began to get hate mail and phone calls.Dirty tricks and sophisticated 100-year plans predicted in my corruption book that have come to fruition in St. John. Half of all business ventures fail in the first year. In 1988 I wrote an entrepreneur training program that scored more points than the grant writers at Ca…



1187. An Environmental Voting Guide for US State Elections
      SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL ECO-SHERIFFAn Environmental Voting Guide for US State ElectionsIn these times when states are suffering extreme downward pressure on budgets and spending, how is our environment making out? Did it suffer cuts right along with the Program to Assist Millionaires Become Billionaires? Are important environmental projects being dropped from the budget along with luxury items like the statehouse's new Gold-Plated Enforcement Gavel? And why is the issue of environmental protection re…



1188. KVB: Whoever Wins, We Lose
      While the rest of the world watches, Americans will be voting on November 2 to either re-elect George Bush, or John Kerry. You can be sure that as citizens of the earth, we all have a vested interest in the outcome of this election. The most powerful nation in the history of the planet is at war with terror, and terrorist organizations. This war started in New York City, on the infamous date of September 11th, and has now gone from Afghanistan to Iraq. Iran and her peoples are especially concern…



1189. Hawala, or The Bank That Never Was By Sam Vaknin, Ph.D.
      I. OVERVIEWIn the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks on the USA, attention was drawn to the age-old, secretive, and globe-spanning banking system developed in Asia and known as "Hawala" (to change, in Arabic). It is based on a short term, discountable, negotiable, promissory note (or bill of exchange) called "Hundi". While not limited to Moslems, it has come to be identified with "Islamic Banking".Islamic Law (Sharia'a) regulates commerce and finance in the Fiqh Al Mua'malat, (transact…



1190. Your America
      Chances are your America and our politicians America are not the same place. If you are dead center on the earning scale in real-world twenty-first-century America, you make a bit less than $32,000 a year, and $32,000 is not a sum that our politicians have ever associated with “getting by” in this world. Politicians have never had a job the way you have a job­, where not showing up one morning gets you fired, costing you your health benefits. Politicians may find it difficult to relate personall…



1191. Comunismo e o Socialismo 4
      Vamos ver o Brasil de hoje, os 'projetos sociais' que os governos estão fazendo. Não pretendo fazer uma análise aprofundada da situação, somente apresentar parte do meu ponto de vista. Penso que estou fazendo a minha parte dentro da minha comunidade! O Brasil é um pais de constrastes. Nós somos a 8a economia do mundo, temos uma ótima renda percápita, mas também somos um dos paises que tem a maior diferença social? Porque? Porque os 'ricos' são mals? Porque os governos roubam? Porque não há inter…



1192. A Libertarian's Christmas Wish list for 2005
      I moved back to Fort Wayne five years ago. I moved back to Fort Wayne to raise my family. I want to do my part to make America a better place for my children; I do not think anything is more important then that. I feel that America has made some very bad decisions in the last 84 years. In 1920 Franklin Roosevelt started 'The New Deal' and the government started growing. In 1920 total government spending was about 4% of the Gross Domestic Product. Today, total government spending is about 40% of …



1193. RFID: California's Identity Information Protection Act By Sally Bacchetta
      Utah introduced a bill designed to limit the use of RFID by state and county government. It was voted down. Maryland introduced a similar bill. It, too, was voted down. This is California's second RFID bill. The first was... voted down.So, California's Bill No. 682 may not be an original idea, but it is important and relevant. And the strong bipartisan vote in favor of the bill is also important and relevant.California Senator Joe Simitian (D-Palo Alto) introduced the bill in February 2005. Ye…



1194. Continuing Change in the Offshore World By Christopher Evans
      The offshore financial centres have been forced in recent years to review almost every aspect of the ways in which they operate in response to the international anti- money laundering laws and initiatives by major economies such as the E.U. and the U.S.A. to increase co-operation in the areas of preventing tax avoidance and tax evasion. These pressures continue and it is clear that the only way forward is for these centres to eliminate, as a priority, all forms of discrimination between diffe…



1195. Ann Coulter vs. One Billion Arabs
      In a recent column, Ann Coulter expressed indignation regarding an apparent Federal Aviation Administration policy not to perform searches on more than two Arabs at a time. I was not aware of this policy, but not surprisingly, Coulter would like all Arabs stopped and searched. You know, because they’re Arab. I think Coulter is applying some sort of twisted logic to this subject. Something along the lines of, “The terrorists that attacked the United States on 9-11 were Arabs. Therefore, all Arabs…



1196. Israel Termed A ‘Nuclear Power’ By US Officials By Angelique Van Engelen
      In the last two weeks, two non-senior US officials indirectly called on Israel to start planning on cancelling its nuclear weapons programs. Even though they said this is not intended for ‘the foreseeable future’, their publicly terming Israel a nuclear power on a par with India and Pakistan might be a sign that the US perceives of nuclear issues as too serious to condone the double standards it employs freely on other issues.US-Israeli relations at high level are however unlikely to be subjec…



1197. 5 Years in Prison for Satirical Flash Films About the President of Belarus By Michael Garmahis
      They do not allow the criticism of the president in any kind, whether it would be an animated file, a joke, the poster or the broadcast. So they believe in Minsk and don't understand humour.For the first time in the world, they threaten creators of flash with 5 years in prison if authorities prove that hero of films and the president of Belarus is the same person. Public Prosecutor has brought criminal case on the fact of distribution on the Internet site: www.mult.3dway.org cartoon films (tra…



1198. The Inertia of Power
      I hate it when Saddam Hussein gets proved to be right ... Buried in all his pre-invasion bluster was a promise that Iraqis would give the Americans 'another Viet Nam' if they tried to occupy the country. To many, this sounded like just another empty threat, but I took note when he said it. The reason for my attention had nothing to do with Saddam or any tribal fealties in his favor. Instead, it gave me pause to recall a comment made to me by a veteran foot soldier who fought in World War II. We …



1199. What If There Were Brothels Within 1 Mile Of The Whitehouse By Lance Winslow
      What if Washington D.C, had any more crime? What if there were many brothels within one mile of the White House? What if they had minors doing the services? What if these young girls had been smuggled into our country for this purpose?What if no one bothered to clean up all the crime in Washington D.C.? What if such a National Disgrace went on year after year? What if no one said anything about this? What if all our dignitaries and political leadership looked the other way?What if Washington D…



1200. Between Hiroshima Japan 6 August, Nagasaki 9 August and the NY 11 September!
      Japan lit its candles of pure,'noble sadness' on the 60th anniversary of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The mayor of the late city, Iccho Itoh, criticized the USA for dropping the first atomic bomb in Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 and following that after 3 days by the second atomic bomb which attacked Nagasaki.The two bombs harvested the lives of more than 242,437 people to end the Second World War by the surrender of Japan.Iccho Itoh, urged the United States to stop the recent new nuclear policy and m…
