A Terrorist By Any Other Name... ISN'T

Here's a good one. I mean it's only $300,000 and how could you do without it, right?

You Don't Have to Be White to be Xenophobic

It's not only white people who are anti-immigrant, xenophobic, and ethnically cleansing. It seems to be a curse of the human race.

(Anti-) Religious Persecution

I found out about persecution of atheists and anti-religion people through CHURCH AND STATE magazine. Here's the article:

Although I'm not an atheist, I certainly support their rights.

If you're interested in the campaign against (non-) religious persecution, you can see more information at:

It Couldn't Happen There (a good law)

In the U.S., distributors are free to cut films and make other changes to boost their profits. In an example of a good law, in Denmark... ONLY THE FILMMAKER can make such changes. Cutting without the directors permission is illegal.

An American Solution

So, we've got a feature on how Big Pharma holds the public hostage by selling its exclusive pills for $1000 a dose.

Then the AARP bulletin talks about how much Alzheimer's treatment costs and suggests a way to reduce it by "approving market exclusivity... for medicines that can slow the progression of dementia."

Sure, that'll do the trick.

Sure we got the cure... if you got the bucks (can you say 1% anyone?)

And... could you tell me how 20 years of $1000 a day medication will "save hundreds of billions of dollars?"

Moore is better....

Someone once told me that filmmaker Michael Moore once said that Americans are "the dumbest people on earth." Ok, I agree, but why the urge to prove it all the time?

Just 'cause I'm a Cop, Doesn't Mean I Have to Know the Law...

EIGHT TO ONE????

Are there NO good guys left on the court? I can imagine the NEXT cop stop:

"Well, I thought it was illegal to drive a RED CAR in this state. THAT'S why I pulled you over. And now, while I'm at it... I'm going to see what that bulge in your pants REALLY is!"

And GMOs will solve the problem of Pesticides... yeah right

I'm reproducing this in full. (Click on the image to see the whole thing.) It is encouragement enough to:

1. Avoid GMOs (ban them?)

2. Buy Dr. Bronner

Give some, get some..

Now, I'm usually a fan of allowing whores to do their work and get paid for it. But these Congressmen! They're giving whoring a bad name!
