1426. An ROI on National Security By Lance Winslow
      Do you find it interesting that people complain about the costs of Homeland Security in that they fail to understand the value of a “NO EVENTS” for instance? We have not had any big attacks, since 9-11 in the United States. There may have been an event or two we do not know about as citizens as the authorities are working on the cases and going after the bad guys?Since we have not had any big attacks one should be asking; Why? Probably because we are offensive over there and thus they cannot …



1427. Saddham Hussein: Not Yet Uhuru
      So Saddham Hussein--the 'sadman of Iraq,' murderer, and possessor of weapons of mass destruction--is finally caught like a rat. He was hiding in a 'spider hole,' in a farm near his hometown of Tikrit, not far from one of the palatial palaces that he had built for himself by the River Tigris. And everyone is raising a high five and slapping each other's back with the misguided belief that they have begun to see light at the end of the tunnel.They say that the road to Jerusalem and in fact to worl…



1428. Workmens Compensation Lawyers, Lets Raise Minimum Wage; No Lets Not, Say We Did, We Have By Lance Winslow
      The debate to raise minimum wage in California is totally negated. The debate holds no weight because workmen’s compensation rates are completely out of control there. Arnold the Governator was able to get a little reform but with all the lawsuits flying it is no use, the system is broken. How can the employers pay the workers anymore, they are already paying more only the insurance companies are getting the money not the workers. This recent article is very telling indeed."62 Pizza Hut Restau…



1429. He's Back
      HE'S BACK After a year of silence, Osama bin Laden has filled the world's headlines with an audiotape, and the predictable opinions are being heard. Is his offering of a truce a sign of weakness or strength? Is he making such statements because he is harried or is the statement a result of the recent U.S. missile attack in Pakistan? All of these questions are to be expected from a media that has usually asked: Is he really alive? Where is he? It rarely asks: What did he say/mean? Bin Laden's p…



1430. Voters are to Blame for Bad Politics By Terry Mitchell
      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 hav…



1431. The Democratic Ideal and New Colonialism
      'Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful concerned individuals can precipitate change in the world ... indeed, it is the only thing that ever has'(Margaret Meade)'Democracy' is not the rule of the people. It is government by periodically vetted representatives of the people. Democracy is not tantamount to a continuous expression of the popular will as it pertains to a range of issues. Functioning and fair democracy is representative and not participatory. Participatory 'people power' is mob…



1432. Can Indianapolis afford an NFL franchise?
      Can Indianapolis afford an NFL franchise? by Kurt St. Angelo @ 2005 Libertarian Writers' BureauSince at least 1997 - only 14 years after the 63,000-seat Hoosier Dome was built for $82 million - Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay was publicly lobbying for a new stadium to host his team. Although pushed back by the Pacers' $175 million taxpayer-supported Conseco Field House deal, he said his turn would come. He has repeatedly said that his NFL franchise 'cannot survive' on the revenues provided …



1433. Eminent Domain Suggested as Cost Saving Measure in DC By Dan Spankie
      Washington DC council member David Catania actually suggested that the council should consider claiming eminent domain of certain widely prescribed pharmaceutical formulas in order to help reign in rising drug costs for the city. Catania suggests that the patents should be acquired by the government through the mayor's declaration of a public health emergency and then generic manufacturers would be contacted to produce the drugs for cheaper than they are commercially available.There are so man…



1434. High Speed Trains and The Future of Transportation By Lance Winslow
      Where are all the high-speed trains we were promised? Where is a cohesive transportation strategy? With the current price of fuel we need better and efficient systems to move people; these gasoline prices are for the birds or Camels?For years they have been discussing High Speed Trains, between Los Angeles and Las Vegas and from Houston to San Antonio to El Paso, Houston to Dallas, Dallas to Austin to San Antonio, Dallas to Amarillo, Amarillo to Denver, Denver to Kansas City to Wichita to Okla…



1435. Bush's Brain is Leaking
      In a surprising move, Republicans across the United States this week demanded that President Bush and Karl Rove explain to the American people just how Karl Rove was involved in the leak of the name of a CIA agent, Valerie Plame, to the media in 2003.Oh wait, sorry, that's not right. Republicans are not demanding an investigation. Instead, they've covered Karl Rove in a warm blanket of spin in an effort to deflect attention away Rove. Does it matter that White House Press Secretary Scott McClell…



1436. Housing Bubble, Interest Rates, Timber Costs; What Has Changed? By Lance Winslow
      What has really changed in the housing market with regards to timber dumping from Canada, lumber costs since the Professional Building Magazine issue in Sept. 2001. How is this affecting the housing market or the predicted housing bubble burst which was suppose to cripple the economy. We have seen the Federal Reserve raise rates, lumber prices go up, still America was buying up new homes and joining the ownership society faster than at any other time in the history of our nation.Unfortunately…



1437. Fraud From FTC Insiders, Who Can You Trust? By Lance Winslow
      The FTC franchising division purports their law enforcement experience in a recent report on franchising. Yet they are so busy attacking companies without solving the real issues. The entire franchise division seems to be a ploy for consumer confidence using our courts and some media headline grabbers is about all? If so fine, we can use high consumer confidence levels, turn it into a government public relations department, but please spare us the BS in claiming that the FTC has any law enfor…



1438. Cloning; The Possibilities and Advantages of Thought Swapping By Lance Winslow
      We can all see the issues involved in the cloning debate, which go much deeper than religion; the real debate has to do with evolutions process of a self-replicating organic machine, human beings, and the future of science and the species. There will be power shifts in economic status amongst ruling elite, political families, etc along with issues of entanglement, connected brains and communication abilities in the future. Discussing issues with individuals or entire groups of clones will be d…



1439. Editorial: Dear Red States
      Dear Red States, We've decided we're leaving. We intend to form our own country, and we're taking the other Blue States with us. In case you aren't aware, that includes Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and all the Northeast. We believe this split will be beneficial to the nation, and especially to the people of the new country of New California. To sum up briefly: You get Texas, Oklahoma and all the slave states. We get stem cell research and the best beaches…



1440. PALS in Pakistan Part Seven – A Dangerous World By Teve Torbes
      Second, most of the signals that Pakistan has sent have suggested that they would accept U.S. nuclear security assistance as long as Pakistan received assurances that any information gained would remain classified and that the U.S. wouldn’t attempt to intervene in their program. The Italian delegation mentioned earlier specifically discussed PALS with Pakistan’s General Kidwai, and left with the belief that Pakistan would accept U.S. offers of assistance if they were made (Cotta-Ramusino and M…



1441. Moving Day in Gaza?!
      The BladeThe Blade just doesn't get it. 'Moving day in Gaza!?' A reality-based editorial title for the terror about to be unleashed against 8,000 Israeli men, women and children (simply because they are Jews), would be 'Ethnic cleansing in Gaza,' 'Gaza to be made Judenrein,' or 'Sharon sells out Israel for foreign interests.'The United States shouldn't pay Israel to do the dirty work of their sworn enemies, to violently expel productive Israeli citizens from their homes and property, their lite…



1442. Does Your Farm Stink? The EPA Wants to Find Out By Thomas Clouser
      Farmers will eventually be facing federal regulations involving air emissions produced on their farms, that may touch on everything from spreading manure, to the exhaust fan at the barn. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced its construction of the Air Quality Compliance Agreement.According to the EPA website, its primary goals are to reduce air pollution, monitor animal feeding operation emissions, and to develop a national consensus on the methodologies for collecting and sam…



1443. Farming Human Clones By Lance Winslow
      If someone wanted to farm future clones they would need many things. They would need to also consider the time commitment for the future and weigh the costs for those 16-years of conditioning. A military of a country might decide to do this, as it would make their elite forces almost uncanny in cooperative ability and effectiveness. The sixteen-year investment is of course the real issue, it therefore becomes all about ROI and economics. The economics of cloning and human life, which most Amer…



1444. The Politics of American Public Education and Why Dramatic Progress Still Eludes Us By Leanne Hoagland-Smith
      The current political efforts aimed at improving the American public educational system appear to reflect Einstein’s definition of insanity – doing the same thing over and over again hoping for different results – than truly creating sustainable change. Until, we begin at square one, sustainable educational achievement will not happen and the limited resources of time, people and taxpayer’s dollars will continue to be depleted.A closer examination of the facts that are rarely discussed needs t…



1445. Ground Gas Canisters for Land Mines By Lance Winslow
      Land Mines have been one of the most evil left overs of any war. Land mines solve many problems for those holding territory from being over run. They also come in handy to prevent illegal entry to a nation. Unfortunately left over landmines kill thousands per year long after the conflicts have departed. What if we had landmines, which merely shot sleeping potion canisters into the air, putting the would-be victim into long-term hibernation? Then you can still inexpensively secure your borders …



1446. Unemployment Iraqi Style By Virginia Bola, PsyD
      Let's put it all into perspective: the U.S. has an unemployment rate hovering at just above the 5% level (although much higher in ethnic populations). Iraq has an unemployment rate in the 75% range.How on earth do they live?We are all aware of the difficulties of being out of work -the financial pressures, the emotional trauma, the ruin of so many marriages and families, and the overall cost to society. The effects of unemployment on personal dreams of success wreak havoc with the self-esteem …

1448. Union Members Don 't Be Fooled, Conservative Talkers Have it in for You By Peter Mennona, Jr
      Ever wonder why labor unions consistently endorse democrats over republicans in nearly every election? The answer is simple. Democratic officials support the right of workers to unionize and collectively bargain. Ronald Reagan, the great communicator, communicated loud and clear that he didn’t recognize unions, or their right to strike, when he decertified the air traffic controllers union in 1981. This executive order led to the largest labor protest in our nation’s history when 400, 000 m…



1449. Politics- Is It Good At All?
      Politics- a word detested by most of the common people. To an ordinary person, politics is a synonym to corruption, misuse of power, money laundering and other malpractices. Politics has earned such a bad name for itself everywhere, that even the most honest political leader is looked upon with suspicion. Elections come and go. Majority of the populace does not bother to vote. They know, once elected a candidate forgets his electorate and runs after money and power. But these elected leaders can…



1450. Osama Swings Election
      With all the noise about undecided U.S. voters through the Summer of 04, it is safe to assume more than two per cent were undecided a few weeks before the election. Among the decideds, an equal or greater number would have swung their votes at the drop of a hat. Osama came on TV and told them not to support George Bush. So they went to the polls and proved their patriotism, by doing exactly what Osama expected them to do. So why did Osama want this president reelected?Fact is, the War on Terror …
