Many of my friends and family will ask me how I can make a video like this and my answer would be that although I must be fucked up to make the video the most heinous things about it is the fact Jesus let it happen!!

WWJD? Some will take this to mean What would Jesus do? I wonder something different. What was Jesus doing? I mean was he too busy to notice these children suffering or was there some justification to the death of innocent children?

See the reason I ask is because it baffles my mind that the Lord and Creator would not only allow something like this but he seemingly endorses it with the fact it happens so often.

What benevolent God allows his children to suffer in such a way? What kind of people follow this kind of leader? WWJD? What was Jesus doing while these children suffered?

EDIT:
I just want to add that I love you and Jesus as much as I love everyone. It’s not about not believing but about not understanding. Can someone please explain why children must suffer the worst things imaginable?

Here is an excellent documentary on Monsanto and the incredible power they have over the food we eat. As shocking as this is when I found out that George Bush and Donald Rumsfeld were a part of things I knew it was really bad. If Donald is a part of things then you know it’s evil. Few of us realize what it is we are eating and who it is that is controlling the supply.

I always thought her fears were unfounded and I never understood why she was so scared of cancer until after she passed at the age of 93 back in 2003. As I aged and became a more mature person I came to realize where her fears came from. My grandmother was born in 1910 and lived through the “Great Depression” and both “World Wars” and long enough to have seen what cancer has done to America and humans in general over the past century.

I do not know the statistics but I do know that fewer of us died from cancers and many of the other health conditions that we face today than we did 100 years ago. I know that as my grandmother grew older she saw more and more friends and family members pass away from cancers and this was where her fear came from. She must have known it was getting worse and worse and she must have realized it was our unhealthy and unnatural lifestyles that were killing us and I am certain she was right. She knew and she was trying to warn us. Everything causes cancer!.

We are poisoning ourselves with chemicals that we consume and cover ourselves with. We are dying from the unnatural eating habits and processed foods we so love. We are actually contaminating our gene pool with chemicals in the body and our environment that are producing an alarming number of genetic defects such as autism, down syndrome, childhood cancers and other debilitating or deadly ailments and we all seem oblivious to it.

I watch health freaks jog for miles, and cyclists pedal for days and weight lifters move a mountain in the name of healthy living and then take a shower with a chemical concoction of unpronounceable and unnatural ingredients with complete faith in the faceless corporation that produces it for us. These same people will spend hours and hours trying to perfect their bodies through supposed healthy living but they’ll also spend hours and hours sunbathing or tanning in a booth for the sake of tan skin to enhance those healthy images. Soaps, shampoos, perfumes and tanning booths cause cancer.

To perspire is a natural body function necessary for healthy people. Antiperspirant is designed to stop a natural and necessary process. Deodorants and antiperspirants contain aluminum and other contaminants which we place directly on the open pours of our body where they are immediately introduced to the blood stream. My mother in law developed cancer of the lymph nodes and the doctors had to chop into her armpits to remove the rust. I do not wear deodorant because I’m scared of cancer and if you can smell me you are standing to close and you need to step back up anyway. Deodorants and antiperspirants cause cancer.

Health conscious people will spend a fortune on organic foods and vegetarian meals so they can prolong their lives and end up covered in toxins from the chemtrails we breathe and the fluoride infused water that we drink because they trust that no one is out to intentionally harm or poison them. Our polluted environment causes cancer.

Every morning millions of kids wake up and pour out a bowl of vitamin enriched corn and cow mucus and they call it breakfast. Breakfast is the “breaking of the fast” our body experiences as we sleep and is known to be the most important meal of the day. Why does your breakfast food need to be enriched? It doesn’t? Good food has nutrients in it by nature and does not require chemical enrichment for nutritional value. Human babies need milk but they don’t need it from a cow or a can of simulated milk like Similac (Simulated Lactation). Babies need mothers milk from the mothers breast for at least the first year of life and that’s it. How can it be that by nature a human baby must consume animals milk? They don’t, it’s a scam. No one needs Vitamin D enriched cows milk. They just want us to buy it from them so they promise it’s ok, but its not. The antibiotics, genetic modifications and growth hormones that all cows have been infected with are destroying our abilities to heal ourselves and made us reliant upon the pill pushers to supply us with corporate owned vitamins and nutrient supplements to help us live. Cows milk and baby formula causes cancer.

Do you now why Americans eat so much corn? It’s not because of health reasons but instead the farm subsidies paid for by US taxpayers which makes corn the cheapest food in the world. Vitamin enriched corn and corn syrup make up a HUGE part of the American diet and only for the reason that politicians get to keep their cushy jobs by paying off the lazy ass farmers who need government assistance to do their jobs properly. Processed food and corn products cause cancer.

My wife pours salt on everything she eats. She says she has to in order to taste it. I think that salt is a primary factory in the poor health so many of us face. I know that salt has powerful properties and it can be used to generate electricity in batteries but it is also caustic and can rust an iron ship into nothing over time. Iron is an important ingredient in human health and when we eat mass amounts of salt we upset the chemical balance of the body. Salt is rusting our bodies from the inside out.

This chemical imbalance caused by salt is similar to the PH balance of a pool. If the body has to much salt then it becomes alkaline and a breeding ground for cancerous cells. Do they tell you that at Fast Food restaurants when they saturate the french fries in table salt? NO, they claim not to know but it’s a lie. They know the food they serve us is killing us. They just don’t care. Iodized Salt causes cancer.

What can you do? Not much but try to live a health lifestyle and stay away from toxic cities where the air you breathe and water you drink are contaminated. The environmental toxins are almost unavoidable and about all we can do is be aware and take a stand as often as possible. Stop buying the poisons they sell and stop pouring them all over and into our bodies. Stop bathing, eating or anyway exposing yourself to chemicals. Read the ingredients and stop eating the poison. If you cannot spell it you should not eat.

True Rastafarians live an ital lifestyle. In it’s simplest form ital means straight from the earth to the mouth. Rasta man eats roots, herbs, fruits and vegetables grown from the earth. Rasta man trusts Jah and nature but not the baldhead who deceives with his wicked tongue.

Will the rasta man live longer with his healthy living? No one but my grandmother knows that and she’s not hear to remind us of something we should all know. Everything causes cancer!

Hard times spreading just like the flu
Watch out homeboy, don’t let it catch you
P-p-prices go up, don’t let your pocket go down
When you got short money you’re stuck on the ground
Turn around, get ready, keep your eye on the prize
And be on point for the future shock

That’s the intro for “Hard Times” by Run DMC from way back in 1984. I remember listening to the album shortly after it was released and I did so daily for quite some time actually. Living in Key West or Stock Island actually, I grew up listening to many of the original rap hits with my teenage friends like Dominic and Keith who were both into music in their youth and had parents who afforded them nice things like new record players and lots of records. We listened to all sorts of raw lyrics and our parents never knew what our innocent minds had been exposed to. We lived in key West, a unique paradise devoid of racism, intense peer pressure and many of the social traps that children face today but lots of us were not as wealthy as some of our neighbors and I often wondered how that happened. What kind of secret knowledge did these people possess that allowed them to become so rich and happy? I thought rich people of Key West always looked happy with all their cool new stuff like big fast boats and fancy homes and when we tagged along with them I always wondered if me or my family would ever have so many nice things and so much happiness. We were always happy enough with what we had so they must be that much more happy with all the extra things they had, right?

I now know that money does not afford a person happiness but it can make happy people more comfortable and it’s nice not being poor. I’m content with the idea I may never be wealthy but I do well enough and I keep working at it for the sake of my family and my own well being. I always remember asking myself if there were some way out of the difficult financial times faced by so many people I knew and I remember thinking that surely this was a temporary or unique situation. It could not be that people were poor all of the time and eventually a person or even a family could bring themselves out of it.

How naive a child I was and how fanciful those dreams were when I thought about my Utopian life in that perfect place free of troubles and worry? Looking back now it would seem my dreams are shattered or at least in a shambles when you consider that the closest thing to them has been realized in a 3D movie. I must have spent over $60 for tickets and popcorn to watch Avatar in 3D twice because it was so close to my childhood dreams except of course for the 10 foot tall blue creatures and floating mountains in an alien world. My utopia was right here on earth and I just had to find it, or so at least that was how the dream went.

Approaching what must be 25 years now of seeking the truth to it all I have come to realize the truth is we are in sad shape as a species and humans across the globe are soon to face the most difficult times in our history. Ever since the cold war days of apocalyptic movies like Red Dawn and Mad Max and my first full read of the Bible and understanding of the gruesome ending that so many of my fellow sinners will face under Gods wrath I have wondered if the world was coming to an end or if there was some other explanation for the madness that played out on the daily news. I mean things just seem to be getting worse and worse for everyone but the very wealthy and we are poisoning everything from water and air to our own genetic code with the chemicals and toxic lifestyles we live and the only thing most people seem to care about is themselves.

I know that in time Mother Earth will be just fine no matter how sickened she is by the prescience of us disgusting humans and the horrid waste and pollution we produce with total disregard for anyone or anything around us in the name of vanity and greed. Whatever we do Earth can heal and move on and if anything is known it is that “Genesis” can and does occur and that life will continue if not for us then for some other more adaptive or maybe plain lucky species. Maybe some other world, one free of humans, can be a Utopia but I think we humans are hell bent on destroying ourselves and everything around us in the process.

For all our intellect, education and understanding we must be the dumbest of all the animals. For being such social creatures by nature we have an outrageous number of social limitations which hold us back as a species with issues like race, religion, wealth and even sexual orientation taking precedence over the fact we are all human and members of the same family. Those of us with dreams of equality and stability for all humanity who still think we have a chance at all should seek medical attention and/or psychiatric care because you are crazy and most likely ill of mind. It is obvious we have never been more separated by church and state and race and education and wealth and so many other huge obstacles than we are right now today.

Some will call me crazy but I think we have been screwed by nature. I know it sounds weird but it’s true. I believe we were doomed to fail as a species by the very nature of our success as a species. Charles Darwin’s survival of the fittest theory has survived now for quite some time and at no time in history has it ever been more believable then now. Looking at the current status of our evolution it is obvious we are devolving and falling backwards as a species through the degradation of society and our lack of compassion for our fellow humans.

Our evolutionary drive to live no matter what, that survival of the fittest mentality that made us the ruler over all other species, has evolved into a sickness called greed which is destroying all the social gains made since the time when cavemen roamed the earth and bashed each other to death with rocks and sticks over food and water. Greed is so powerful that it has stunted or even warped our social evolution and driven us into complete madness. Humans have never been so savage as they are today and the severity and heinous nature of our actions has never been more disgusting. There is no need for me to list the many horrible things that we do to each other but the crimes against children are the most disgusting. Why must we prey on children? How is that any supreme being would allow it’s creation to destroy itself and prey upon the most innocent of all?

We live in a world controlled by a select few who have the secret knowledge which brings them wealth and power. A world where the struggle for life is about building something for someone else with the hopes you can live on the scraps they toss you for a majority of the people and the minority are doing all they can to keep it that way. The gap between the have and the have nots has become a chasm that most families will never cross as the rich have gotten richer and the poor have never been so damn poor.

America has entered what will be no doubt be an even “Greater Depression” than the one my grandmother lived though with one glaring difference. In the 30’s American families came together and took care of each other in hard times and in the first decade of the new millennium we are more likely to have an experience like Hurricane Katrina or even Haiti where total chaos and social meltdown takes place immediately after the system fails. There will be no coming together of the people in the hard times we face. Those days are gone and those people have been replaced with a new generation of less able and less caring people. We have never been more dependent upon government and the people that control us than we are right now and it gets worse and worse with each new generation.

We are well conditioned consumers with total disregard for anything other than our own immediate personal gratification. Our lack of concern and understanding for the repercussions of our actions is sickening and with every second we do more harm than good in the world. We have now gone so low as to have the concern that human traffickers are stealing babies from an earthquake stricken disaster zone in Haiti and selling them off as slaves and prostitutes.

Can you name any other animal that is so cruel and sadistic as we are? Is money so important to us that we have to sell children into these horrors?

It would be such a sweet thing to me to get a prescription for marijuana after so many years arguing with everyone from my mom to my judges and probation officers that I needed it. Ganja is my “mentalcation” and it eases the stress and pains of everyday life for me. I enjoy puffing one for just about any reason but it’s the most fun before and after eating food and first thing in the morning. I like to wake and bake for a fresh start each day

They found water on the moon but people right here on earth can’t get clean water to drink or enough food to eat. I’m sitting here watching CNN and they jut had a story about NASA finding water on the moon. They claim it only cost 79 million dollars to slam a device into the face of the Moon which they can test all the way back here on earth that tells them there is water on the Moon and they think it was a pretty good deal for the price. The idea being that if we had to carry less stuff from Earth we can possibly travel farther into space using resources like water and other minerals found on the Moon. No, they are not planning to bottle moon water. At least not yet they aren’t.

As soon as the story was over they cut to commercial and the last spot before they cut back to news is for their new program CNN Heroes and the hero spotlighted was a woman who runs Project Clean Water in Africa which obviously deals with the lack of clean drinking water that plagues so many people in the world. I love irony and I found myself laughing out loud at how ridiculous it was they had these stories so close together. I wonder what the lady from Project Clean Water would do with $79,000,000?

In America my mother has free water service in her Florida home that allows us to use as much as we want whenever we want but in Haiti they drink water that is contaminated by garbage and pollution. In China it has gotten to be so bad that people in the most populous nation on Earth are getting cancer and disease from the contaminants dumped in their drinking water sources and once again children are suffering the most. Young Chinese children work in the electronics reclaim industry processing heavy metals and industrial waste that often ends up in the drinking water.

On one hand if you work for NASA or any of the billionaire contractors they pay with our tax dollars you might argue it was money well spent. You might even ask your friends over at CNN to do a cute news story that shines a positive light on NASA or maybe you’ll win an award from the NY Times for the Aries rocket that boosts your image and makes Americans feel better about the billions we spend on space travel each year.

On the other hand if you live in Africa, Haiti, China or any other place on Earth where you have a hard time finding clean drinking water you may think spending 79 million just to find out if there is water on the Moon is a waste. You might also disagree with spending so much in outer space when we have so many problems right here on Earth.

My questions to you is, what do you think? Should we bother with travel to the Moon when people on Earth can’t get enough food and water?

I feel sick. I think I need some ganja to heal my pains. I may have to move to California to do so but I can finally smoke herb in America and not face federal prosecution for it. It’s a watershed moment in the fight to legalize marijuana and I for one and excited for the future when we can toke on the White House lawn!!

in reference to:

“Thirteen years after California voters made the Golden State the first in the nation to legalize medical marijuana, the country’s top law enforcement official told U.S. drug agents to stop raiding medical marijuana gardens and busting patients who have medical prescriptions for pot.In a sweeping directive, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder told federal authorities it’s not a wise use of their time to go after people who use or provide medical marijuana in strict compliance with state law. Since California passed the groundbreaking Proposition 215 in 1996, 13 other states have passed similar laws.”

Everyone has an opinion on Microsoft software but I must be honest to tell you that I’m impressed with how well the speech application works. I look forward to using this new speech recognition software to conduct more of my writing business so that I can spare my hands the cramps and endless pain of typing with my fingers. It looks like I will be speaking to my computer more often.

For those of you who have Microsoft vista I suggest you take a look at just how easy it is to set up this intuitive software simplify your online life as well. If I could just get this thing to write HTML code my life would be so much easier offer now have to take the fact that it’ll crank out a couple hundred words in under a minute.

It’s a straight forward no bullshit assessment of our current economic condition and a viable solution to California’s budget crisis. The time is now to embrace the decriminalization of marijuana and move past the “War on Drugs”. Have we not had enough war in this lifetime? Smoke a fricking joint and relax for the sake of our economy

Smoke This Recession / It’s simple: First we tax the booze. Then we legalize the pot. Done.

Really now, could there be a better time to decriminalize/fully legalize pot? Or, more fully, to decriminalize pot, and then spread respectable pot shops and vending machines and dispensaries far and wide, instill quality control and decent oversight and then tax the living hell out of the glorious, stress-reducing goodness, as we stop wasting billions fighting its grand ubiquity and instead sink into profitable pools of warm, hazy progress? Don’t you already know the answer?

I’m a Gator!!

Gators rally to win SEC title — South Florida Sun-Sentinel.com

If the sound of the current typically comes before the actual crash of the waves, the Florida Gators couldn’t help but hear it all week.

How the stakes of a national championship semifinal would create a fourth-quarter classic instead of another Gators blowout. How playing Alabama wasn’t simply about stats or execution but about who could impose their will in the most physical nature. How special players always prevail.

That’s when wide receiver Carl Moore got a feeling about his quarterback.

“I knew [ Tim Tebow] was going to step up big time, I just knew it,” said Moore, who caught the first touchdown pass of Florida’s 31-20 win over Alabama. “Everyone in our locker room knew that he was going to win this for us at the end of the game.”

O.J. Simpson was convicted and sentenced to 15 years. This is the saddest brother in the whole world. This  man got away with the crime of the century as it has been called and he ends up screwing it all up in Lucky 13 years. How funny is that?

I saw the family of Ronald Goldman, the boyfriend O.J. killed with his wife Nicole, on the news boasting about how they had hounded him into this. Seems a recent book deal he had set that they were able to shutdown was the last straw and financially he was done.

He orchestrated a robbery that he claimed was an attempt to recover his own personal effects and the people he brought along had guns and held a sports dealer in a hotel room in Vegas. The judge cut him some slack and could have easily sentenced him to much more. He faces a maximum of 33 years and is eligible for parole in 9.

O.J. spent a fortune to hire  the dream team of lawyers who were able to manipulate evidence and the jury into an acquittal on a case with DNA evidence. I might start writign to him in jail because I just have to hear what happened and how he didn’t see he was being setup.

Simpson’s conviction came October 3, the 13th anniversary of his controversial acquittal in the killings of Nicole Brown Simpson and Goldman.

TheStar.com | sciencetech | 2,700-year-old marijuana found in Chinese tomb

OTTAWA – Researchers say they have located the world’s oldest stash of marijuana, in a tomb in a remote part of China.

The cache of cannabis is about 2,700 years old and was clearly ”cultivated for psychoactive purposes,” rather than as fibre for clothing or as food, says a research paper in the Journal of Experimental Botany.

The 789 grams of dried cannabis was buried alongside a light-haired, blue-eyed Caucasian man, likely a shaman of the Gushi culture, near Turpan in northwestern China.

The extremely dry conditions and alkaline soil acted as preservatives, allowing a team of scientists to carefully analyze the stash, which still looked green though it had lost its distinctive odour.

“To our knowledge, these investigations provide the oldest documentation of cannabis as a pharmacologically active agent,” says the newly published paper, whose lead author was American neurologist Dr. Ethan B. Russo.

Remnants of cannabis have been found in ancient Egypt and other sites, and the substance has been referred to by authors such as the Greek historian Herodotus. But the tomb stash is the oldest so far that could be thoroughly tested for its properties.

The 18 researchers, most of them based in China, subjected the cannabis to a battery of tests, including carbon dating and genetic analysis. Scientists also tried to germinate 100 of the seeds found in the cache, without success.

The marijuana was found to have a relatively high content of THC, the main active ingredient in cannabis, but the sample was too old to determine a precise percentage.

Researchers also could not determine whether the cannabis was smoked or ingested, as there were no pipes or other clues in the tomb of the shaman, who was about 45 years old.

The large cache was contained in a leather basket and in a wooden bowl, and was likely meant to be used by the shaman in the afterlife.

“This materially is unequivocally cannabis, and no material has previously had this degree of analysis possible,” Russo said in an interview from Missoula, Mont.

“It was common practice in burials to provide materials needed for the afterlife. No hemp or seeds were provided for fabric or food. Rather, cannabis as medicine or for visionary purposes was supplied.”

The tomb also contained bridles, archery equipment and a harp, confirming the man’s high social standing.

Russo is a full-time consultant with GW Pharmaceuticals, which makes Sativex, a cannabis-based medicine approved in Canada for pain linked to multiple sclerosis and cancer.

The company operates a cannabis-testing laboratory at a secret location in southern England to monitor crop quality for producing Sativex, and allowed Russo use of the facility for tests on 11 grams of the tomb cannabis.

Researchers needed about 10 months to cut red tape barring the transfer of the cannabis to England from China, Russo said.

The inter-disciplinary study was published this week by the British-based botany journal, which uses independent reviewers to ensure the accuracy and objectivity of all submitted papers.

The substance has been found in two of the 500 Gushi tombs excavated so far in northwestern China, indicating that cannabis was either restricted for use by a few individuals or was administered as a medicine to others through shamans, Russo said.

“It certainly does indicate that cannabis has been used by man for a variety of purposes for thousands of years.”

Russo, who had a neurology practice for 20 years, has previously published studies examining the history of cannabis.

“I hope we can avoid some of the political liabilities of the issue,” he said, referring to his latest paper.

The region of China where the tomb is located, Xinjiang, is considered an original source of many cannabis strains worldwide.

I feel as though I was born in the perfect year and since my birth in 1970 I have been witness to some historical events but none of them are even worth mentioning when you consider what I saw happen over the past 24 hours or even the past 24 weeks for that matter.

When Barack Obama was given the Democratic nomination I was not shocked. I was upset because I honestly did not believe America was ready to elect a Black man to the White house and I did think we needed change that no Republican would provide. I have never been so happy to have been proven wrong. Maybe the day has come when fewer of us see color and more of us see through the skin to the person inside.

Barack Obama is a polarizing, transformational figure with the weight of a planet on his shoulders. He made a lot of promises and lots of people want to see him fail but the fact is we have a new leader and he’s not a rich white man. An educated black man will run America and the next four years should prove to be far more interesting than the last four have been.

Good luck to Barack Hussein Obama. Let’s hope we get at least half of what he offered.

This line in the article pretty much sums it up:
“In recent years autism has been blamed on everything from discarded iPod batteries to mercury from Chinese power stations, from antenatal ultrasound scans to post-natal cord clamping, from diet to vaccines,” Fitzpatrick said in a statement.”

There are more than one reason for the condition called autism and trying to figure it out is useless. It’s become a blame game with the medical establishment throwing out garbage science to confuse people and avoid being caught poisoning our children. What we need to do is figure out how to make the world a safer and better place for these people. The common thing I have seen in most autistic children is an inability to defend or protect themselves in the face of danger. Most autistic children are simple happy people who focus more on the lights in a room rather than whether or not someone is trying to take advantage of them. They need a world where their neighbor isn’t willing to use them to get ahead.

It seems to me like autistic people are an evolutionary step forward with new abilities they have a difficult time understanding or managing. My son cannot control the things he hears and is easily distracted by the everyday sounds of life we all tone out. He will probably never drive a car or even hold a normal job but he will make music one day I m certain. By taking a step forward inn evolution this new generation has lost some of those base abilities we take for granted. My son has a hard time tying shoes but he loves anything slip on or velcro. He’s defenseless against many people and a pushover when it comes to dealing with others. Even much smaaller and much younger children can easily overpower or take addvantage of my son because he rarely faces confrontation or defends himself. He allows people to take things from him and he wont say anything about it.

In the world we live in now he is weak and sure to become a victim of the nasty hard world around him. He has evolved while society and the world around him has de-evolved into a nasty uncivil place where my sons unequivocal trust of man is a liability and not a trait to be admired as it should be in an evolved society. We will spend billions in search of the reasons for autism and billions more on the search for a cure when what we should do with that money is use it to force the evolution of society into a better and safer world for all of us.

Autism linked with rainfall in study | Health | Reuters

Children who live in the U.S. Northwest’s wettest counties are more likely to have autism, but it is unclear why, U.S. researchers reported on Tuesday.

Michael Waldman of Cornell University and colleagues were searching for an environmental link with autism, a condition characterized by learning and social disabilities.

They got autism rates from state and county agencies for children born in California, Oregon and Washington between 1987 and 1999 and plotted them against daily precipitation reports.

“Autism prevalence rates for school-aged children in California, Oregon and Washington in 2005 were positively related to the amount of precipitation these counties received from 1987 through 2001,” they wrote in the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine.

Dr. Michael Fitzpatrick, a London physician who wrote “Defeating Autism: A Damaging Delusion”, expressed doubt, noting that autism diagnoses are on the rise in all climates.

No one know what causes autism, whose symptoms range from severe social avoidance to repetitive behaviors and sometimes profound mental retardation.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that about one in every 150 children has autism or a related disorder such as Asperger’s Syndrome. Rates in many countries have been rising, although that may be partly due to increased reporting and diagnosis of the condition.

Doctors agree there is a genetic component to autism. They also theorize that something in the environment and possibly conditions in the womb can trigger the condition.

The researchers said their study supports this idea.

Perhaps infants and toddlers are kept are kept indoors in front of the TV more in rainy climates, and that somehow causes brain changes, they said. Or perhaps they breathe in more harmful chemicals while indoors.

Vitamin D deficiency caused by insufficient time in the sun might also be a trigger, they said.

“Finally, there is also the possibility that precipitation itself is more directly involved,” they wrote. Perhaps a chemical or chemicals in the upper atmosphere are transported to the surface through rain or snow.

“In recent years autism has been blamed on everything from discarded iPod batteries to mercury from Chinese power stations, from antenatal ultrasound scans to post-natal cord clamping, from diet to vaccines,” Fitzpatrick said in a statement.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has launched a long-term study to find the causes of autism and other childhood conditions.

swinging black batons, symbols of the New Authority,
and you will say,
“No, my children and I will not come with you.”

You will say no — not because Charlie Sheen
inspired you one night on FOX News
to look more closely at falling towers.
You will say no — not because Alex Jones
led you through the darkness with a bullhorn.
You will say no — not because Howard Zinn
handed you the Book of Truth on a silver platter.
You will say no because you are your own
star of truth shining the way.

At your unique hour, in the dark,
beneath a burning paper currency moon,
the Cold Hand of Power will touch you and revolt you.

At your unique hour,
when they come for you because you asked questions,
because you did not lower your eyes,
because you did not bow down,
at your unique hour,
in your unique circumstance,
you will find yourself in the grip of a courage
you have not known but which you are.
You will stand in front of black helmets with invisible faces,
and you will say,
“No, my children and I will not come with you.”

Daughters and sons of revolutionaries,
blood burning for freedom,
eyes set toward tomorrow,
each of you alone in the darkness,
beneath tender constellations burning gold and silver,
each of you will remember the path to take
when the Cold Hand of Power comes for you,
each of you will make your way without direction or encouragement,
as those before you made their way without direction or encouragement,
forging history, embracing destiny.

You will not march in file.
You will not march.
The revolution will not be organized.

In your darkest hour,
beneath the burning moon,
you will pledge allegiance to the truth,
as those before you pledged allegiance to the truth.

The truth cannot be organized.

“The Revolution Will Not Be Organized”

For those of us who know nothing about the next Vice President here is a page with some pretty disgusting details into this womans life.

She’s a perfect fit for the Grand Olde Party boys and possibly the first female President in history. The hunting thing is not the worse she could do but its certainly not humane or sporty to hunt habituated animals who are accustomed to being viewed by humans and not shot by them.

I think the fact she’s so in bed with the oil industry and that she has already been accused of abusing her power are the scariest things we have to worry about. We have already been the victims of power hungry abusive leaders and what are we about to get?

Same shit on a different shit ticket!!
