Creationists revile On the Origin of Species after having got through the chapter(s) on geology. It shows that Creationists are small-minded, and have to believe in a Young Earth, because knowing that the earth is many billions of years old is apparently just too much for them!
Great clip here of Neil deGrasse Tyson talking about what the human mind does when faced with things we don't understand. A little long at 27m but well worth it.
For a guy who made a career of shaking down a beloved pop star in court, Evan Chandler seems to have lacked a sense of fulfillment, for some reason...Global's worse than when we were last at Kyoto.Pay no attention to that Three Mile Island leak. Looks like insurance companies are as reliable in Canada as they are in the U.S. A heckuva budget crisis, Ahnie. Looks like Blackwater Guards who murdered are free to leave. Uranium's polluting Nevada's wells. Will we let 9/11 suspects state their cases in court? Goldman Sachs employees finally clean up other people's garbage, for once. We'll let you build liquor stores and casinos all you want, but we sure as hell won't tolerate marijuana dispensaries.
Aaron Russo well know producer and manager told the world Rockefeller (son) told him the goal was to implant RFID chips in EVERYBODY , we'll its begun , Rhode Island school district has begun .. test program to put am RFID into every students bag .

Called radio frequency identification devices, and often referred to as “tags,” they use radio signals that link the person or object tracked to a computer system. They have become controversial in Rhode Island when local school officials considered using them to track students, and they have also attracted attention because they are essential to the state’s electronic toll-collection system, E-ZPass.
The employess of the Seoul subway system have to wear chips. They want to make sure they're not "reading in the crapper", etc.
Slowly wedging that door open, one place at a time.
As for the school, I'm sure it's for the children. (And maybe there are some good aspects to it, but I don't like the direction this chip stuff is leading.) (Implants anyone?)
... while I agree there are serious concerns about privacy and a corporate-controlled info-society, this is sounding an awful lot like the 'death panels' nonsense.
Death panel nonsense is when they say, "Obama is going to kill grandma." I said, "I don't like the direction this is heading," which is not much different from saying, "There are serious concerns about privacy and a corporate-controlled info-society."
Why did Bush wait until AFTER JFK was assassinated to come foward with the warning?
Here's the document:
Here's a transcript of the text:
TO: SAC, HOUSTON DATE: 11-22-63
FROM: SA GRAHAM W. KITCHEL
SUBJECT: UNKNOWN SUBJECT;
ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT
JOHN F. KENNEDY
At 1:45 p.m. Mr. GEORGE H. W. BUSH, President of the Zapata Off-Shore Drilling Company, Houston, Texas, residence 5525 Briar, Houston, telephonically furnished the following information to writer by long distance telephone call from Tyler, Texas.
BUSH stated that he wanted to be kept confidential but wanted to furnish hearsay that he recalled hearing in recent weeks, the day and source unknown. He stated that one JAMES PARROTT has been talking of killing the President when he comes to Houston.
BUSH stated that PARROTT is possibly a student at the University of Houston and is active in political matters in this area. He stated that he felt Mrs. FAWLEY, telephone number SU 2-5239, or ARLINE SMITH, telephone number JA 9-9194 of the Harris County Republican Party Headquarters would be able to furnish additional information regarding the identity of PARROTT.
BUSH stated that he was proceeding to Dallas, Texas, would remain in the Sheraton-Dallas Hotel and return to his residence on 11-23-63. His office telephone number is CA 2-0395.
the corporatists and their handlers are watching this country a slow agonizing death, segment by segment and the WH has absolutely no concern whatsophuckingever. Geihtner and summners care not one jot about the human toll of this carnage. the goldman boys will have their bonuses and will not leave one crumb for anyone else. they continued the booshPolicies of feed-the-rich. this is not what the people who voted for Obama and the dems wanted. yet that is what we are all getting. we have two oil wars and bank bailouts with no concern for fiscal balance. but healthcare-for-all, which would be the greatest burden lifted from our economy in it's history, has to meet budgetary restrictions while feeding the gluttonous insurance industry. many people in this country are angry enough to vote for palin right now. I have heard it with my own ears. they ask themselves,"can she be any worse than these people?". and honestly, I am running out of arguments. what the hell is trying to choose constantly between the lesser of two evils?
and the media all-out war against Obama and all things democratic is unabated.
I truly hope that someone (Stewart, Colbert, Letterman, et al) pays tribute to Thanksgiving by showing Sarah Palin's "turkey pardoning" episode from last year.
If only to see her reaction.
Apparently the original incident it was an "attack piece" on her.
(I know this is an open thread, so if you will please indulge me, that would be great. Didn't know where else to go with this. There's right and there's wrong, and this just seems wrong.)
Wow, are the folks at RedState (www.redstate.com) thin-skinned or what? I was bounced from its website and censored Saturday night after indicating that Middle America is disillusioned with the political Left and Right. Evidently, I hadn’t consumed enough of its apparatchik Kool-Aid before engaging the right-wing fringe at RedState. Oh well, so much for constructive dialogue . . .
I have visited hundreds of political websites and blogs, and I spend countless hours each day on the same, and never before have I ever been censored, never mind immediately and reflexively cut-off, for asking reasonable policy questions (a string of the last night’s exchange, is available on at my blog below, if you would like to view the extent of the knuckle-dragging). I will wear the rebuke like a badge of honor, and as a reminder of RedState’s inability to provide a forum to rationally discuss public policy issues impacting Middle America.
In fact, I was chastised for expressing my reasonable views and I was told, “You’ll find that stuff not welcomed here.” My goodness, are we in China? (Well, not yet, but we will be soon, thanks to the trillion dollars of U.S. Treasury debt China owns and America’s skyrocketing deficit, following eight years of fiscal irresponsibility in Washington, but I digress). Suffice it to say, it’s become very clear to me why the website is called “RedState”—it’s RedState’s proclivity for censorship, of course.
For the fringe on the Right, it is precisely this irrational, emotional response to reasonable inquiry that has marginalized and isolated it from normal, thinking human beings. Unfortunately, the folks at RedState continue to read and believe their own press releases, insulating them from anyone thinking outside of their tiny little circle. Like many of the fringe lunatics on the Right, it remains out of touch with voters and continues to create a vacuum in the center, which will someday be filled, but not by someone of its liking.
Middle America and the pocketbook issues that impact it everyday have been neglected too long by the far Right. Understandably, the fringe at RedState is sensitive about it and unwilling to discuss the recent failed leadership of the Right. This is disappointing, but it brings clarity to how RedState helps the Right maintain its minority and irrelevant status.
A word of wisdom for those of you on the far Right that are hard of hearing (likely from too much banjo music): Middle America is where the voters are, which, based on your irrelevancy, you do not comprehend. However, if you’d like to dig out of the hole you’ve put yourself in, stop neglecting it. It is interested in jobs, affordable healthcare, and quality education for its children; oh yes, and constructive dialogue. Americans visiting the RedState website, whether they be Red, Blue, or Purple, deserve better than being treated like pivot men in RedState’s knuckle-dragging circle-jerk.

Death panel nonsense is when they say, "Obama is going to kill grandma." I said, "I don't like the direction this is heading," which is not much different from saying, "There are serious concerns about privacy and a corporate-controlled info-society."
If I am not "Tex", nevermind this message.

Funny, but yet sad how we have yielded our economic sovereignty through the advocacy of laissez-faire economics.

Who killed JFK?
In Miami...Theodore Shackley and the same types in New Orleans??
That sure is a crazy theory about the magic bullet! Have physicists really confirmed the theory or is that wishful thinking?
George Bush the first, Chuck Colson and Lyndon Johnson.
Why did Bush wait until AFTER JFK was assassinated to come foward with the warning?

Posing in front of a turkey slaughtering process then, is like walking down a dark alleyway with hundred-dollar bills hanging out of your pockets.
You've got one party that employs the peasants and another one that corrals them. What we need is a party that empowers us to employ ourselves.
