The Truth is Out There
By Lady Liberty

Because I have a very busy schedule, I attend very few events outside of those related to my job or politics. I do, however, make exceptions for things I think I might really enjoy. For example, a few weeks ago, I went to an Alice Cooper concert (for the record, yes, I had a great time, and yes, even in his mid-50's, Alice still rocks). More recently, I was in the audience for a talk on UFO's. Now, I know these things are a little odd, but such things entertain me and that was the sole reason for my attendance at both of these venues.

Despite my best knowledge at the time, it's turned out that both of these things were beyond entertaining; they both ended up having a significant relationship to politics as well. In the case of the Alice Cooper concert, most of you have doubtless seen Mr. Cooper's recently publicized comments concerning rock stars and politics. I confess to being both amused and delighted by his words. Meanwhile, the politics involved in the UFO talk were more subtle, but the implications far broader. When I reflected on those implications further, I also found them to be quite a bit scarier than Alice Cooper, even in full make-up. (Read the rest here)

The result of post traumatic stress syndrome, or are no more common than what would be encountered in the general public. The exact same story told to the soldiers returning from Vietnam with similar devastating effects from the government's unbridled use of dioxin in that country.

The government merely turned on the word processors, highlighted Vietnam, dioxin, trees, and defoliant, and hit the global replace to substitute Iraq, DU, tanks and weapon. Viola! Presto! Shezaam! The new intensive study was formulated, written, completed and the finding was the same. "Spin" anything not proven beyond the shadow of a doubt. Ignore, classify or delete anything showing a possible correlation. Deny treatment, clean up and responsibility. Who knew? Who could have figured? After intensive review of all information that does not show the substance to be unsafe, the substance in question is undoubtedly, unquestionably, irrefutably and undeniably SAFE!
