126. Fahrenheit 9/11
     I watched Fahrenheit 9/11 a few days ago and found many aspects of the movie interesting. Some of the ideas discussed within the movie I had heard before. Many from newspapers and others from news radio shows or CNN.The movie starts out showing the 2000 Presidential Election. It goes through the Florida debacle and shows video clips of what happened on the Senate floor. There were several people who testified on behalf of the people in Florida about the wrong doings. However since no Senator had…



127. Discount Cigarettes and Cheap Tobacco from Europe to the UK By Declan Keane
     It never fails to amaze me. HM Customs and Excise are at it again, stopping everyone in this country from getting the bargains that we are entitled to. The cost of running the country might in fact be out with the Governments budget, but do we have to pay the deficit?The fact that we as a Country are part of the European Union and are entitled to free trade across Europe doesn’t seem to matter to HM Customs & Excise. This “law unto itself” outfit are beginning to annoy the hell out of everyone…



128. Why Our Political Leaders Should Embrace the Fair Tax Plan.
     The Fair Tax Plan (HR.25/S.25) has been out for well over a year now and yet there are still many people who have never even heard of it. One would think that a plan as bold and beneficial as this would be sounded from one coast to the next. Yet that is not the case. As a point of fact there are many liberal political leaders who continually ridicule the Fair Tax Plan whenever it is mentioned. They're acting under the misguided belief that this wonderful plan favors the 'rich'. That is the farth…



129. The Capture of Saddam: Great News for Americans and Iraqis, Bad News for the Liberals and the Main Stream News Media !
     The recent capture of Saddam Hussein by the U.S. Military was great news for the American and Iraqi people. Across our nation the news of his capture was met with hoops, hollers, and smiles. The news was especially good for Iraqi Americans. Cheers went up at the New York Jets- Pittsburgh Steelers game on that Sunday, after President Bush's announcement was broadcast over the stadium loud speakers. Arab Americans were dancing in the streets, celebrating, waving American and Iraqi flags. What a gr…



130. Is Congress Going to Lay the Groundwork to Include Education with the Steroid Legislation? By Louis Victor
     As of late steroid use in sports has been the topic of conversation by the media. From Jose Conseco appearing on Donnie Deustch’s “The Big Idea” which airs on CNBC to Congress looking to pass legislation to regulate steroid use in professional sports.Is steroid use a problem in pro sports?Well it depends on who you asked, but steroids weren’t developed in 2005, they have been around for quite some time. Most people associated bodybuilding with steroid use so football and baseball players that …



131. Debate on Torturing International Terrorists By Lance Winslow
     For those who wish to debate the issue of torturing the International Terrorist murderers and say it is not humane? I wonder if they have thought this thru completely. If someone has a better way to deal with this issue, then I say to thee, well then; Why not go confront them, tell them you are an American and tell them to have a little "Time Out" and think about a less violent approach? Mention you come in peace, you know tell them you are a Christian American or something peaceful see how lo…



132. The Internet Right – Are They Doing It Right By Michael Bresciani
     It looks overall like the liberals are advocating for no lines to be drawn on most matters. The right insists there are lines, very clear and important lines. This alone puts the right clearly ahead in the battle. The idea that there is nothing to fight for leaves the left with no real soldiers. There are of late, however, a lot of embarrassed civilians among their ranks. Those in the internet right are providing a good part of the scathe that discomforts them.The single most important contrib…



133. The Fed and Other Garbage By Robert Baird
     "The Jesuit priest John H. Surratt, proven to be the ring leader in the death of President Lincoln was untouchable. In the affidavit of Henri De Sainte Marie, Aims Report, House of Representatives, 39th Session Congress, Page 15, Ex. Document No. 9., he says: ‘I believe he is protected by the clergy and that the murder is the result of a deep laid plot, not only against the life of President Lincoln but against the existence of the republic, as we are aware that priesthood and royalty are and …



134. Protection of the Intellectual Property in Russia By Segey Talpa
     A Governmental commission, headed personally by the Prime Minister has been created in Russia recently in order to counteract the infringements in the sphere of intellectual property. As he stated earlier, little is done for the protection of intellectual property rights in Russia and, therefore, both the rights owners and the state are actually robed. Are there any changes today in this area? What contribution has customs service made in order to protect business intellectual property rights?…



135. Vacation, Uninterrupted
     A five week vacation. A recent survey by the travel site Expedia.com shows that's a lot of vacation time. The survey shows that most Americans get about 12 vacation days a year but only use 9 of those days. As for 'working' vacations, technology 'forces' most people to work on their vacation rendering claims of George Bush actually working during that time meaningless as a distinction.The survey also found that Bush's vacation time is much more in line with citizens of France. The French, who we…



136. "Fahrenheit 911" Wins Round One
     Every nation has its inventors. No; make it illustrious sons. (Because there are few illustrious daughters.) Look at this checklist: Alfred Nobel was an illustrious son. While his fellow Swedish natives were busy catching fishes in the North Seas, he was engaged in harnessing the destructive power of the atom. The Japanese residents of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during the Second World War know the rest of the story.Italy too has her illustrious son. At a time when the Catholic Church believed that…



137. Should the Government Compensate the Clients of TAT? By Sam Vaknin, Ph.D.
     This, of course, is a political decision. There is no "right" thing to do. Even the IMF imperatives are not sacred. Sometimes, inflationary goals should be sacrifice to avoid the total collapse of the banking system and, with it, the economy as a whole.Unfortunately, a lot of experience has been accumulated elsewhere in the world. No country was exempt, all suffered collapsing or near-collapsing banking systems. India had to nationalize the fourteen biggest banks - and, later on, tens of priva…



138. POLITICS: A Country Divided.
     POLITICS: A Country Divided. In the last two Presidential elections it has appeared that, our country and the voters are equally divided. This has seemed to provide an atmosphere of constant battle with so much distasteful rhetoric by individuals, the press, and political leaders. The feelings of freedom to speak and democracy are not always present. One may wish to question if they even exist. There seems to be a cry perpetuated by flag waving individuals that any one who wishes to question th…



139. AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM AND AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL SECURITY POLICY (After September 11)
     AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM AND AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL SECURITY POLICY (After September 11) This paper is not to judge exceptionalism and to find whether it is good or not; rather it is to survey exceptionalism as Americans' difference with others. The question raised is whether American international security policy after September 11 could be taken as an example of exceptionalism? American exceptionalism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocquevelle in 1831, referred to as the perception that the Uni…



140. My "Scaridness"
     I'm scared. I'm scared. So very, very scared. I'm so scared that scare is a word not enough to define my 'scaridness'. 'They're lurking'. 'They're plotting'. 'They're patient'. 'They want to take away my way of life'. They want to take away my 'scaridness' (not to be mistaken with 'truthiness'). I can't let them do that. I love my 'scaridness'. It's a sacred 'scaridness'. It lets me know that I'm alive. If I didn't have 'scaridness', I'd be dead. Being scared makes me feel alive. Thank God that …



141. Why do the Republicans keep bringing up seatbelt laws?
     We have a new Republican Governor; we now have a Republican majority in both the Indiana House and Senate. The Republicans keep talking about a “mandate.” There are many very important issues that need to be addressed in Indiana: Property taxes are out of control (Mine have increased over 60% in the last year here in Allen County), we spend OVER $11,000 per student per year on a public school system that produces students who on average score 24 points BELOW the national average on the SAT test,…



142. The Glorious Acts of Our Legislature By Mike Kole
     I always have to remember to take a deep breath when examining the laws being proposed by our grand Legislature. I detest most of the new legislation on the table, but have to forgive our representatives in the House and Senate for it. After all, writing laws is what a Legislature does, and if they don’t write enough laws, it can begin to look like they’ve been loafing.Call me strange, but I rather prefer a Legislature that goofs off and under produces new laws. I’m convinced we have enough of…



143. The Mother of All Political Battles Has Begun! By Gene Labarge
     News is spreading of the retirement of Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, setting up a political battle the likes never before seen. This is the first of what could be several openings in the not too distant future.If you think you've seen crazy political rhetoric before, you ain't seen nothin yet! This will prove to be the political equivalent of a steel cage match. Believe me, it's on! The smokescreens and scare tactics will be flying. You are about to see a meltdown by the liberals …



144. Trade Wars, China and Over Regulation At Home By Lance Winslow
     We are seeing some trade wars brewing as American trade deficits mount and the money flows moving to China. We see OPEC manipulating our supply a tad and China’s thirst for oil increasing, thus furthering the supply issues. We must keep our trading partners and play on a balanced field to keep peace in the world. When playing fields are tiled feathers get ruffled and history shows the unfortunate possibilities that can ensue.The Germans before WWII used the trade payments as a tool and establi…



145. Bush Victory: A Defeat for the Have-Nots? By Virginia Bola, PsyD
     The shouting is over and directions for the next four years selected. Judging by past behavior (the best predictor, psychologically, of future behavior), we can look forward to:1. Continued and probably expanded tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans and large Corporations. It is no surprise that the stock market soared on the election news: big business stands to gain greatly by the results. Predictions? A strong effort to curtail product lawsuits, no matter how valid, to protect bottom line …



146. Esso makes $36 billion profit but still doesn't spend on climate change.
     Exxon Mobil, Esso's parent company, is the largest oil company in the world. At the end of last month it reported the record breaking profit of £18 billion made in the past year. Here's another fact- the burning of oil as a fuel accounts for 23 % of all global greenhouse gas emissions. In the light of these facts, why has Esso run advertising campaigns in the US which are highly critical of the Kyoto agreement? Why also have they funded think-tanks with around $12 million who have questioned the…



147. Sheik Palazzi expresses solidarity with David Ben-Ariel
     Date: Sun, 14 Aug 2005 19:46:21 +0200To: 'David Ben-Ariel' From: Istituto Culturale della Comunita' Islamica Italiana Subject: Re: Update on visa for Israel Dear David, I am simply shocked by what I read. I knew the Israeli government is becoming hard, cruel and dictatorial toward opposition groups (the wife of an activists protesting against disengagement was recently sent to jail together with her month years old daughter) but I never suspected this kind of attitude was extended not only to Is…



148. Americqa, Jihad is Coming!
     America, Jihad is Coming!By nevine Al Seidi | Friday prayers on the 28th March lasted for hours in all mosques of Cairo ( and all Islamic countries) pushing Arabs for Jihad. Jihad, is fighting in the name of God the enemy of God. The concept of Jihad ( Arabic for Struggle) lies in the belief of the irrelevance of human life next to the interest of the land and the people. Any true Muslim believes in Jihad, be that a member of Al Qaeda, a member of Hizbullah or a member of a football team. I unde…



149. Fan the 4 Flames of Freedom
     On September 11, 2001, 4 freedom-hating zealots tried to snuff out the 4 freedoms that are the foundation of, not only the U.S., but of all freedom-loving countries around the Globe. The terrorists hijacked 4 airplanes and crashed them into 3 of their 4 planned targets: the Pentagon and the 2 financial towers in New York. This attack shocked the U.S. and shocked the world. It produced death and destruction, anger and misery, defiance and calls for revenge.Although some military strikes may be ne…



150. Are We Serious About Fuel Alternatives? By Thomas Clouser
     As you can see from some of our previous articles, government agencies predict about 40 years of petroleum still remains. As usage climbs, the amount of time remaining may shrink even more. New reserves will be found, but developing countries, such as we’re seeing in China with their industrial revolution taking place, will demand greater volumes of petroleum to supply energy needs.People under 50 years of age should be considering this phenomenon as a potentially life-changing circumstance.…
