Any law that makes people victims is a law that should simply not exist. The ability to defend ourselves against any kind of attack is something we should all enjoy regardless of what country we call home.

While fewer than 5 percent of these could be completely automated with existing technologies, more than 60 percent were made up of tasks of which at least 30 percent could be automated, the study found. In short, most jobs — including white-collar ones — already involve a sizeable chunk of activity that can be automated.

1) Scientists Discovered Molecule That Triggers Self-Destruction of Pancreatic Cancer CellsWith pancreatic cancer ranking as one of the most deadly forms of cancer, researchers were excited to report on a promising new breakthrough for a treatment.Pancreatic cancer, which maintains a 95% mortality rate, is resistant to all current treatments. Patients have extremely poor chances of surviving for five years after being diagnosed—and since the disease does not show symptoms until the advanced stages, it is notoriously hard to diagnose.However, this Tel Aviv University study published earlier this month finds that a small molecule has the ability to induce the self-destruction of pancreatic cancer cells. The research was conducted with xenografts—transplantations of human pancreatic cancer into immunocompromised mice. The treatment reduced the number of cancer cells by 90% in the developed tumors a month after being administered.

[A New York Times study describes how both red and blue states use public education to indoctrinate students in their preferred ideologies. This dynamic should dampen hopes that public education can fix the problem of widespread political ignorance.] Dana Goldstein of New York Times has an interesting article describing how state governments in both liberal California and conservative Texas work to skew school textbooks in favor of their preferred ideologies.

The danger of uniform nation-wide indoctrination is the main reason why John Stuart Mill opposed state control of schools, even though he favored government subsidization of education for those unable to afford it.

Another reason to “privatize” “public” education!

And tax breaks on top of that? While at the same time making major political campaign contributions. The issue is not about being pro-life or pro-choice, but about not using taxpayer money for campaign gifts.

Afterward, one of the vaccine industry officials mentioned, Dr. Paul Offit of Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia– who refused to provide details on his vaccine industry income and ties for the report– lashed out with false statements. Among other untrue claims, he stated that I had not asked him for information or that he had provided it. In fact, I had carefully documented my requests and his failure to provide the information.

Short answer — NO!

And, another demonstration that the Gooferment is immoral, ineffective, and inefficient. As well as untrustworthy!

The FDA doesn’t stop “impure” dangerous weight loss supplements.

How about a fine that starts at a company’s profits for a year?  Second offense, two years.

I’d prefer that the Gooferment stay out of it completely and just open the courts to suit by harmed individuals.  But if must stick it’s nose in “regulation”, then make it worth the effort.

Authored by Antonius Aquinas, The efficacy of a metallic monetary system is beyond dispute at least among real economists which eliminates just about 95% of whom are now engaged in the “profession.” Money, which gold is, allows for specialization, the division of labor, and provides the means for mankind to escape from barter and, thus, a primitive existence.

I can’t imagine a football game where the definition of a yard was inconsistently lengthening.  All measures and stats would be worthless.  Designing a strategy and tactics would be a nightmare for any plan.

So too, when the there is NO uniform standard of account, store of value, or sanity, it’s an impossible situation that is doomed to collapse.

The question is does it take civilization as we know it down with it?
