Our heroes are dieing in vain. What this country needs is a citizenry that will remove the pseudo-Christians and money whores from office and elect a democratic constitutionalist. There are two of them running for the office of President. One is a republican (Ron Paul). The other, a democrat and my choice (Dennis Kucinich).When I served in Uncle Sam's Canoe Club. I took an oath. That oath was to

I get fed up with all the rebel rousers telling me, a veteran, that I need to get behind the ball and put on my game face to support the troops. The fact is that I do support them. The current administration I do not.There are good reasons, to me, why I don't support the Bushittes. None of them have to do with a political party. Though I will admit that the Republicans are more inclined at the

I just got this in an email from Americans United. I thought I'd share it with no changes and in its entirety.AN OPEN LETTER TO JERRY FALWELLDecember 2005Dear Jerry:Here's some news: There is no "war on Christmas!"I've seen you on various television news shows claiming thatthere is but, in fact, there simply isn't.

Nicolas Carranza is due to go before U.S. District Court today for crimes against humanity. One of these charges is for torture during the 1980's in El Salvador.On the surface, this would seem like a just event. In a lot of ways it is. Those who commit crimes like this, as well as those who allow them should be held accountable. For America to take him to trial is two-faced.Though, for the most

Clark Atlanta University is set to close its engineering department. A predominantly black school, its services are very much in need for the black community.The schools administration states that it is over the lack of money. Faculty members claim that the department brings in more than $2 million every year. A lawsuit has been filed by professors and students to keep the department open.I

I have just been listening to Against the Grain on WRFN Radio Free Nashville.Radio Free Nashville is a wonderful talk radio site with streaming audio. They also have links to various organizations that make a difference. Their talk shows and music selection rock. That's probably the best compliment I'll ever give a radio station. So there it is.

The Associated Press is running a story today about the hard time that the fundraisers for 9/11 memorials are having raising the half billion dollars they need for the three monuments. The article states that the hurricanes and other disasters have lowered donations to the memorials.I say; thank God that they're having trouble raising these excessive funds.

I sit here, not believing the scenes that I see on the television. Unable to fathom the words I hear on the radio. Where is the federal response? I understand that some people didn't want to evacuate. I also know that a lot of people couldn't. They are too poor, or physically unable to get out of town. I can relate to that. If not for my wife, I wouldn't be able to evacuate my town. I'm poor and

Am I the only person on the planet that doesn't care whether Paula Abdul got laid by some young punk half her age? I get so tired of hearing about this type of crap for months on end. It's not like this high school aged drama has any effect on the average person.Reuters is running a story about how Paula Abduls fling is ruining the credibility of "American Idol".

In a departure from industry practice, Compass Group North America is no longer buying pork raised on antibiotics.

Mental health hospitals in California seem to believe that they don't have to treat their patients with respect, or appropriate medical care.Several hospitals have been under investigation by the U.S. Justice Department for abuse of patients. They are also being accused of obstructing the investigations.To me, the people that need the most care in life are children and the disabled. There is no

Wal-Mart has just opened a new store in Shanghai, China. This, to me, is not that big of an event. Well, except for one thing that nags at the back of my mind.When Wal-Mart first started making its big push, several decades ago, its big advertising spiel was that it bought and sold American made goods at every opportunity.While 'buying' American made products, it drove the manufacturers into the

The Agricultural Research Service has developed a technique of producing rainbow trout that grow larger than natural. Larger trout are desired by the consumers and the aquaculture industry. The 'frankentrout' are triploidal, meaning that they have three sets of genes and are not able to reproduce. This sounds good at the outset, but the methods of producing triploidal trout leave something to

To put it simply, the service sucks. That's not to say that any other fast food service is better. Just that Burger King in Georgetown, Kentucky really has shitty service.You see, they NEVER get the order right. We've tried several times to get a correct order. We just can't seem to get it through their thick skulls, that a Whopper with no lettuce means that there shouldn't be any lettuce on the

3.6 million people. That's how many are facing starvation in Niger according to Oxfam. Parents feeding their children grass because the western world refuses to help.Make yourself an important person.

That's right, radio without the crap.I've been listening to WRFN for the last week or so. Ran into a link at the Tennessee Indy Media site. I like it.WRFN is a low power station, just outside of Nashville. They play a mix of news, talk, and music. Not too much of one over the other.The format is more laid back, and gentler on the soul, than either traditional music or talk radio. I can, hell I do

Where is the aid that Niger needs? The United Nations is stating that the developed world is ignoring the food crisis. Children are dying of starvation. Some are so bad off, that when given food, they can't keep it down.Where are all the agencies that I see begging for dollars on the television? If they are there, why can't they help? Is it because of you? Have you given today?Why is the '

All of my life, I have had the belief that artists were cut from a different mold than the rest of society. It didn't matter whether they were potters, painters, fabric artists, or musicians. It always seemed that they were an inclusive group. A society within society in general. A group of people that embraced the differences of people.Apparently I was wrong. It seems as though the male members

The world is becoming more stressful as I write this.I hate those crappy ring-tones that people have on their cell phones. I've changed mine to an old type ring. It seems that people are 'pleasantly' surprised when they hear it for the first time. Who would of thought that someone could be happy about a phone 'ringing'?Birds in Germany though will be facing the wrath of people everywhere. It

What is the real cost of the U.S. war in Iraq? We probably won't ever know.We know that it's costing the taxpayers of America billions of dollars. How many of these billions could of been spent at home, or on humanitarian issues abroad, instead of on killing?Over 1,700 U.S. troops have been killed. Many more have had their bodies mutilated.

The use/abuse of methamphetamine has hit catastrophic proportions.

When I was a kid, many moons ago, we were told that "winning isn't everything, it's how you play the game". I played many games of baseball, basketball, football, soccer, and tennis.

I was on a winning team....once. I just
