(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.

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.

Now, tell me again, censorship is only something done by the government, right?

Thinking of buying a new TV?

Ok, I don't think I'll be getting a new TV in this millennium! And... er... what do people DO in front of the TV anyway?

Last year some Tea Party-ites ran a Tea Vee ad about how China will pass the US in corporate strength because all the money has been  drained from US corps by taxes. The trouble is... THEY DON'T PAY THOSE TAXES!!!

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?
