The AAP Speaks Out About Ads Targeting Children

Posted on by rchapin

The AAP (American Association of Pediatrics) released a statement indicating that there are so many advertisements bombarding our children that they fear for their health.

Not mentioned in the article; what does this say about our society and the evolution of consumerism and capitalism? . . . We are now raising a generation that has been bombarded with advertisements and conditioned to be such avid consumers. How will this affect the continuing degradation of our environment and our natural resources?→ Continue reading “The AAP Speaks Out About Ads Targeting Children”

Who should really be apologizing for the fallout of Kerry’s gaff is Democrats

Posted on by rchapin

Unbelievable! Horrible! Worst thing that you could have done at this point in the campaign!

Kerry’s botched "joke" this past Monday? Nope. The fact that the Democrats cowered like spineless rats after the NeoCons went on the attack.They misssed their opportunity to take control of the final week in the campaign and remind everyone why they shouldn’t vote for the Republicans:

The completely botched war in Iraq
The Bush administration lying to the country about WMD
The Republican corruption in → Continue reading “Who should really be apologizing for the fallout of Kerry’s gaff is Democrats”

Possibly the Most Damaging Cover-Up in US History

Posted on by rchapin

It seems that vaccine industry, members of Congress, and the CDC may have colluded to cover-up what may end up being one of the nations great medical disasters:  the thimerisol-autism link.

A terrifying article about not only the danger of thimerisol laced vaccines but the cover-up by our leaders and those who we thought were looking out for our children.→ Continue reading “Possibly the Most Damaging Cover-Up in US History”

Bush’s Resolve Might Again Come Back to Bite Him

Posted on by rchapin

It seems that Bush’s resolve not only applies to policy but also to politicking.

This week Bush was out stumping for Republicans in Congress and is sticking to the playbook from the last two elections – national security, with a bit of tax cut talk.

I’m guessing that he hasn’t read the most recent NIE in which the 16 US intelligence agencies all agree that the war in Iraq has made the United States less safe.

Of course, he could → Continue reading “Bush’s Resolve Might Again Come Back to Bite Him”

Hilarious Want Ad

$10,000

06′ Suzuki GSXR 1000

Farmington, UT 84025 – Aug 7, 2006

2006
Suzuki 1000. This bike is perfect! It has 1000 miles and has had its
500 mile dealer service. (Expensive) It’s been adult ridden, all 
wheels have always been on the ground. I use it as a cruiser/commuter.
I’m selling it because it was purchased without proper consent of
a loving wife. Apparently "do whatever the f*** you want" doesn’t mean what I thought. Call me, Steve.→ Continue reading “Hilarious Want Ad”

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.

The House approves legislation to shutdown horsemeat industry . . .

Posted on by rchapin

. . . and reveals blatant specism when it comes to animal rights.

One of the authors of the bill, Rep. John Sweeney, R-N.Y., said, “What we are exposing today is a brutal, shadowy, predatory shameful practice that borders on the perverse. It reflects on our culture. It reflects on our priorities.”

Mr. Sweeney, I’m guessing that you’ve never toured a factory chicken, or hog farm, nor seen how they are slaughtered.

Oh, wait, I forgot that you probably don’t → Continue reading “The House approves legislation to shutdown horsemeat industry . . .”
