Tuesday, September 6, 2011 Class Warfare of The Big C
Here we are in the year 2011 and we still have no "cure" for cancer. I remember, as a child over 50-years ago that cancer was the national scourge and that every possible research dollar was going to go into finding the "Cancer Cure".

So, here we are on the brink of -- what? Homeless is no longer the poor "shlub" who no one knows. He or she is our neighbor or perhaps soon to be us. The thought, the mere suggestion, is no longer inconceivable. Together we hold our breath; we may even reach our hand out in the hope of a "handout" when in the past the thought would have been too demeaning to even contemplate.
Thursday, October 5, 2006 Is it Time for a Bloodless Revolution? (15 comments)
If you are mad as hell and tired of taking this anymore then we need to band together and in a collective scream oust every sitting elected official. Together and only if we come together in a single voice, can we send our message loud and clear to those in office, and those seeking office, that we are not going to sit idly by and allow our civil liberties, our inalienable rights, and our humanity to be mocked and abused?
Friday, September 22, 2006 An Alternative to Sen. Bill Nelson and Rep. Katherine Harris
Independent, Brian Moore, is somewhat of a Don Quixote, and not unlike the middle-aged gentleman from La Mancha, who was obsessed with chivalrous ideals who takes up his lance and sword to defend the helpless and destroy the wicked, Brian Moore has a rich history of raising his voice and fighting against invincible odds.
Tuesday, August 8, 2006 A Case for Impeachment
Never before has a sitting president deserved it more. Never before has such egregious acts gone ignored and unpunished. It is time we exert our rights as citizens of these United States of America and begin the long road to healing this nation.
Tuesday, April 25, 2006 Genocide (1 comments)
The inhumanity of man upon man, woman and child is so appalling, so horrible that the words are inexplicably inadequate. The Western world is not innocent. In fact, there are more instances of intrusion, escalation and insertion than this article can include. But, there is one issue that must be stated and that is Depleted Uranium: The dream child of Dick Cheney.
Sunday, March 26, 2006 Reaping Profits for the Grim Reaper
Body brokers who are willing to sell off parts and tissue of a diseased deceased caring less of the consequences and more about lining their own pockets. Its become a billon-dollar business. One might rightly state that theyre worth more dead than alive.
Tuesday, March 7, 2006 These Are a Few of My Scariest Things
If any business was run like the government of the United States it would have been out of business long ago.
Thursday, February 23, 2006 The Big "A"
Alzheimers disease is a slow, deliberate eating away of neurons in the brain. It is as if massive portions of the brain have been wiped away. In actuality, that is what happens. Huge chunks of the brain are decimated never to be repaired or returned. Once theyre damaged, once theyre gone, theyre gone forever.

"We need not resolve the difficult question of when life begins. When those trained in the respective disciplines of medicine, philosophy, and theology are unable to arrive at any consensus, the judiciary, at this point in the development of man's knowledge, is not in a position to speculate as to the answer."
Sunday, January 29, 2006 A Child's Delimma
Are we irresponsible children if we do not opt to care for our aging parents ourselves? Does it make us a bad person? Is the child who places their parent or parents in a facility, albeit an excellent one thought to be a selfish, unappreciative child?
Monday, September 12, 2005 If It Were Up to Me
I yearn for the good ole' days of politicians who actually took responsibility. Remember the plaque on Harry S. Truman's desk: The Buck Stops Here?
