Watch out for this bill. I started a petition once for a similar bill, only to find out there are so many of these floating around in Congress that it does’t do any good to spend so much time on just one. But it looks like this one may get passed by Congress. http://www.naturalnews.com/030418_Food_Safety_Modernization_Act_seeds.html
Maybe I’ll have to move to Texas! After all, Ron Paul lives there. That’s a good enough reason, but there’s even more here, http://thenewamerican.com/index.php/usnews/crime/5212-texas-legislature-to-consider-firearms-freedom-act
A new book is out from the Mises Institute, a collection of essays by Walter Block on “cutting edge topics.” Jeffrey Tucker points out that this fills an important gap in libertarian literature, a well-rounded introduction to why liberty does work and why the government has failed. Tucker, “What first appears to be an eccentric collection of unpredictable opinions on a large range of provocative topics turns out to be a compelling presentation of the logic of liberty applied to a series of practical issues that surround us every day.” Take a look, http://blog.mises.org/14654/building-blocks-for-liberty/
It isn’t because they are terrorists but because they are human.
I realized that it isn’t really fair to say, “okay, to get $25 off the fee, register before Tuesday” and then my site goes down for some of Saturday and most of Sunday and Monday. In light of that, I’m extending the discount until 10pm on Friday. So if you missed the chance before, the discount is still good. I also have a partial syllabus created, if you aren’t sure if you want to do it. I can email it to you and you can have a “sneak peek” at the course. And remember, student scholarships are available. Email me…
Yeah, the GOP has to keep up their facade of smaller government. They all know that earmarks account for such a tiny fraction of government spending it doesn’t really matter. It is like taking a grain of salt out of the salt shaker and proclaiming that you’ve helped reduce sodium intake. If the GOP ever decides to cut warfare and welfare spending, I will really be surprised. Really surprised. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/11/15/AR2010111504511.html
Bush is being discouraged from spreading his sickening torture propaganda in the UK. If only Americans had that much sense… http://www.lewrockwell.com/spl2/boris-johnson-bush-torture.html
So the site has another look (again) and all has been recovered from the devastation of the weekend. Don’t thank me, thank Bluehost. They just did everything for me. I basically said, “help! HELP!!” and they repaired all that was wrong. And very quickly too. And although this is slightly unrelated, Bluehost has unlimited storage which is going to be really great. So if you are thinking of getting a website, I would recommend Bluehost. I have had very good experience with them. But even so, I had about 24 hours to contemplate my stupid mistake and long for someone…
As The New American says, “As world leaders have gathered in Asia for the Group of 20 (G-20) summit to discuss measures to revitalize the frail global economy, tensions have risen over struggling currencies and trade. Likewise, President Obama and other world leaders in Seoul, South Korea for the two-day summit are having to contend with one another’s opposing strategies for fostering a more stable economic environment and preventing a looming financial meltdown.”
A report just came out, revealing that it costs NATO $50 million to kill a single Taliban insurgent. So as The New American points out, the Republicans will respond to this news and say, “oh, well, let’s try to make killing more efficient. If we are efficient enough at killing ‘them’ then we’ll win!” instead of thinking that perhaps it is better to save a human life than to save $50 million.
