schools
By Larken Rose at YouTubeObamacare Hubs Coming to the Nation's Schools (CNSNews.com) Merging the worst of both worlds. Only thing I can think of that is worse would be merging TSA and USPS to help them save money and improve customer relations. Great 12-minute video making a point that words
proclaiming your freedom are not the same as freedom. Your chains?
Break them.

Risk
is Not Dangerous
(Read

challenge – which necessarily entails the possibility of failure. One
does not seek it, one is aware of its possibility. But one accepts the
possibility as the necessary price to be paid in order to meet the
challenge. To strive, to achieve. To be competent rather than
complacent. To do – as opposed to not doing. Risk is the very thing
that makes human progress possible. To refuse to act – or to limit
action – until and unless all risk is removed is to negate the
possibility of acting. It is to embrace stasis – and even that amount
to a false sense of security, since failing to act out of fear of risk
can itself be lethally paralyzing. Think of the prey animal that
freezes rather than bolts at the sight of a predator.
Yet risk-avoidance has become the cornerstone of the red giant phase American police state, whose lurid glare we all live under today. Every new authoritarian measure is proposed – is justified – on the basis of risk-avoidance, no matter how infinitesimal the risk. Any risk is too much risk. No price too high, no imposition too extreme. If it makes us safer. If it reduces some risk. The
Youngest Victim of Police Abuse
(Read

in tears. “You don’t need to do that!”
“Shut the f**k up!” replied one of the gallant officers. When Dozier failed to act on that thoughtful suggestion, Officer Jarad Wheeler strode up to her and kicked her in the stomach with sufficient force to open a door. At the time, Raven Dozier was nine months pregnant. For about fifteen minutes, the DeKalb County officers conferred with a supervisor outside the house -- within earshot of Raven’s brother, who was sitting, handcuffed, in the back of a police car. “He kicked a pregnant woman,” one of the officers reported.
Gun Rights Examiner readers were introduced to
McNulty’s “Blood on their Hands” project on April 25, when this column
reported on the effort’s launch. A follow-up was published on May 2 to
report on McNulty’s appearance on the nationally-syndicated Armed
American Radio program, where McNulty informed host Mark Walters that
this correspondent would be working with him as an associate producer
on the film in an interview that can be listened to by clicking

apparently unable to come to grips with the slowly evolving social
realities of marijuana usage, marijuana legalization, medical marijuana
legitimacy, and federal prohibition vs. New Jersey's own
passed-but-not-yet-implemented "Medical Marijuana Patient Protection
Act," split the difference and found Forchion guilty of possession
while hanging themselves on the distribution charge.
