STATES RIGHTS:

Texas House committee passes bill to ban porn-scanners in Texas.

HEALTH CARE:

The benefits of going paleo for pregnant mothers and newborn babies.

GLOBAL WARMING AND ENERGY:

It looks like solar cycle 24, which just started getting going, has reached maximum. So not only is cycle 24 the weakest sunspot cycle in a century, it's also going to be about half the length of a normal cycle.

POLICE STATE:

This is an important point: the government knows that terrorists come here because our government is over there. They aristocrats do it on purpose. They want a police state so they can control us.

"We go there, and they come here. That’s the root excuse for a U.S. police state. That cause is going unaddressed by the U.S. government. Its ambitions are just the opposite, which means it doesn’t care about a peaceful and carefree America."

Politicians are not like us. We like to get along in a system voluntary exchange. They like to use violence to force their will on others.

Documents leaked by WikiLeaks purport that al Qaeda would respond with nuclear retaliation if bin Laden was killed or captured. This is ridiculous on many levels. First, we have assume that al Qaeda has the ability to attack us with a dirty bomb, and is choosing not to. Why wait? Second, what else would you expect al Qaeda operatives who want to protect bin Laden to say? This is baloney. Don't get me wrong. If the US continues it's policy of invading Muslim countries and killing Muslims, eventually some Muslim will retaliate with a dirty bomb. Unless our government ends its aggression against Muslims, it's inevitable. But al Qaeda didn't have such a weapon primed and ready to go just waiting until bin Laden was killed or captured. Still, the best thing we can do to protect ourselves is to end our government's aggression against people all over the world.

MISC:

My experience in the horse show business backs up this statement:

"Ninety-five percent of the people in this business lose money, and the other 5% are lying."

The only reason to get into the horse business is for love of the animals, not profit.
