Yea, I’d say something got stimulated, just not in the way Bush wanted. I don’t think anyone is really surprised about this. I sure as hell am not. I predicted, like many others, that it would go to bills, credit card debt or some kind of debauchery. Who in the hell is going to think to themselves, “Hey, I got $300 or $600; I am just going to blow it on some stupid, materialist trinket or dohicky when gas prices are going sky high, and I am living off of credit card loans. That’s a great idea!”

Convenience VS. Ecology
Stop Plastic!

Plastic bags were just outlawed (first in California, where else?) from the supermarkets. Then from drugstores. Plastic bags have come to be no more, no longer used, no longer manufactured for California. Now, it’s soon for your state. Why?

Why it’s for the good of the environment, Honey! Plastic doesn’t decompose in landfills. It lasts and outlasts. California (always first) has put a “stop” law on these bags to keep them out of landfills, out of the ocean. Have you ever seen the news reports of this gigantic doughnut of plastic stuff in the ocean that’s continuously and permanently circling upon itself, goosed by ocean currents?

Barack Obama may have made our generation’s “I have a dream” speech.

Barack Obama made a speech a couple of days ago that rocked the minds of those that truly understand our present societal problems. Those that have the perceptual abilities to see past the bullshit and petty distractions are gearing up for a new wave of public discussion. I strongly feel that Senator Obama is the leader, the inspiration this country has needed for decades.

Short answer: maybe. It seems that physicians are not taking placebos as lightly as we once thought. The placebo effect, “a therapeutical effect based solely on the power of suggestion” that has showed up in all clinical trials and is commonly used scientifically in pharmaceutical research, is said to be used by 45% of Chicago internists when prescribing to patients.

Wow, has honey got some press to be proud of?! It seems that there really is some truth to the old wives tales that honey really is a cure all. In November, honey seemed to get some very late, but not forgotten, recognition that it can be successfully used as an antibiotic ointment for small cuts, abrasions and sores. The in December, it got the recognition for being a better nighttime cough medicine for children (older than 1 year old of course).

A “sense of moral superiority might lead to rationalizing bad behavior.” I guess that about sums it up for me. I don’t think I have much to add to that. This is a very interesting read though. Please take a moment to read over this study. It will just reenforce, in a very objective way, what you have thought about all the hypocrites that call themselves “conservatives”.

If you think the government is allowing assisting corporations in keeping us ignorant and blind to what is going on behind the screen, then you may be on to something. Conspiracies theorists just may be right when they talk about the government being behind the creation of blind, brain-washed consumers.

It has seemed that for every alternative fuel source came many drawbacks, some negating the whole reason for utilizing them. Hydrogen fuel was one of the alternative fuel sources that had much promise, but in application was not the dream it was said to be. That is, until now.

If you don’t believe us, click here to see how Hillary is Bush’s new friend. If this is true, I was right all along. Hillary is just another manipulative, lying, corrupt politician in liberal’s clothing.

I know we all know what King George has done to America (especially the economy), but just in case you needed it put in to intelligible words to fire back at some idiot that thinks he is anything more than a jackass, her is a very good article written in Vanity Fair that pretty much covers it all. A Nobel laureate, Joseph E. Stiglitz, puts into words what most of us just grunt out in a nauseating, “I am sick of even having to argue this” fashion. Unfortunately, we can’t give up, and we need to be stay abreast on what is going on, no matter how painful it is.
