Fear Game
-- Featured Comments --
Be fearful, Americans. Your government wants you to be very fearful. It wants you cowering in a corner. The reason it wants you fearful and cowering in a corner is because your fear provides many thousands of lucrative JOBS and wonderful federal pensions to be drawn by those in the George W Bush-created Homeland Security apparatus. Fear led you to believe them when they lied to you about Saddam's non-existent WMD. Fear leads you to believe them when they say your sons and Read More...
The Pen Is Mightier Than The Sword

The Pen is mightier than the sword.
(Although I have found a sword to be effective against my closest enemies.)

BBR12345 @yahoo.comFreedom is a word as is news as is propaganda - and it is true that the pen is mightier than the sword.
Fox cable and other news corp.media outlets are sticking that sword into the heart of truth.
This article written by Rupert Murdoch a foreigner from a country that has an underlying white supremacy persona and whose Read More...

As someone who recovered from hypertension through diet, I felt dismayed by this article. Kaiser Permanente has improved its patients' ability to control their blood pressure with medication, and this is presented as good news; but the real news here is that the medical community continues to ignore a method of blood pressure control that is simpler and better.
A year and a half ago, I was a trim, fit, nonsmoking 56-year-old with a blood pressure of 150/90. I began taking Read More...
File Sharing Sites
-- Featured Comments --
In my experience, when Macs have malware problems it is because a user has fallen for a Trojan horse or been sucked into an email bot list. The former can be avoided by not clicking on random links in email or a browser and not frequenting porn and illicit file-sharing sites.
I also think having a book being read in text-to-speech could be more distracting than an audiobook or music because you focus more on the sound because it is unnatural. Text-to-speech is also aesthetically Read More...

On You First Argument.
(1) Why is there "Apartheid" in Palestine against Jews and Israelis? Why can't Israelis or Jews "settle" anywhere where they can buy land or a house? Are Jews and Israelis the new "Negroes" of Palestine: No "negro Jews need apply"?
(2) Why is there a "Pale of Settlement" in Palestine in which no Israelis or Jews may live, move or settle?
(3) How about Palestinian Israelis - are they to be permitted to settle in the rest of Palestine - including Jordan, Read More...

To Jonas:
Regarding Cyprus Invasion: There was a military coup against the democratically elected government in Cyprus. Greece was behind it. England did nothing against it. Turkey was obliged to intervene according to the agreements made between these countries. Turkey has warned against if for decades. Ethnic Turks were being killed by the Greek Cypriot gangs for decades under Makarios. Turkey has protested numerous times. International community did not do anything about Read More...
The Truth Will Set You Free

Brian, your remarks about "depressed markets", an old Democrat scare tactic, fly in the face of the experience of most pension funds in the private sector over the years. You are making up factoids to support your position.
The truth is that our country can not afford SS and Medicare in their present form over the next 50 years no matter how they are studied by demographers. The programs must be reformed or they will result in the financial collapse of our nation.
So, forget Read More...

Very well, putting everything back into proper form, you can accept the "fact" as either :
1. Someone does not know his OWN ideas well, and so he sounds irrelevant, or
2. Someone is not obliged to find the time to explain in details his ideas, and that is reasonable and rational, or
3. Someone is not obliged to find the time to explain in details his ideas, and that is unreasonable and irrational
whichever you deem is fit. And certainly you can criticize him or her Read More...

The reaction, not only by China but also by the U.S, Germany and other countries, to examine future reliance on nuclear energy is understandable. As people, we are scared every time a disaster strikes us, and it is a good move to examine and to check our energy resources.
I don't think, however, that canceling (or suspending) nuclear energy generation is the right way to go. What this means is that energy will be generated by coal and by other pollutants that will further Read More...
Best Place In The World To Live

Just want to say thanks for making the whole town sound like a bunch of money-grubbing scam artists. That is pretty awesome. Walnut Ridge is definitely a small, sleepy little southern town. Folks still sit on their porches drinking iced tea in the afternoons. Children can play outside and ride their bikes down the street without the fear of being snatched up by strangers. I can walk my dog anywhere in town at any time of the day or night without the fear of being mugged. We Read More...
