Mayor Bloomberg and New York Organ Donor Network launch innovative organ preservation program
Pilot program seeks to honor the wishes of organ donors and save lives

Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and the New York Organ Donation Network today announced the launch of a new pilot program to honor the wishes of registered organ donors and help save lives. Nearly 8,000 people in New York City are waiting for a life-saving organ transplant, yet the United States does not have a procedure in place to recover organs from locations outside of hospitals.

Someone give this man a cigar!

I was just listening to the pod with James Babb from WeWontFly.com and was struck by his observation that the government's solution to the problem it created with the porno-scanners would be worse than ever, i.e. biometric I.D., background checks, etc.  Here it is already.  Ah yes, gotta love that Hegelian Dialectic!!

Katherine Mangu-Ward from Reason Magazine wrote an excellent article about the growth of virtual schools and why it's hasn't grown faster.

With the MSM grasping at straws to discredit Rand Paul I want to know if can bring lawsuits against Curves and Lucille Roberts because they are gyms that only give memberships to women? Senior housing is my next target because of their ageist leasing policies. I should have a right to work out in any gym I want to because they opened their business to the public and I shouldn't be kicked out of Planet Fitness either for dropping weights or grunting while lifting them. 

Here's why!

I have noticed the libities of learning diabled people h as be taken  for a ride. here in the UK it is practically non egsistient I for someone in this catigory can speak up fror my libities but those in authority do not like it and tell me to "be quiet, I should not speak out!! " that is tipical I am also A member of the Liberarian Party Scotland UK branch. can eny of my fellow conspitior advise me on this

thanks

Don't even think about singing 2 Live Crew in China. As part of a continued effort to crack down on "vulgarity and dissent," nearly 200 of the country's karaoke venues have installed the "National Karaoke Content Management System," which supervises the playlist and automatically alerts the police if a vulgar song is performed.

Check out this protest in Berlin.  Awesome!!!

Imagine that!!  Former DHS chief Michael Chertoff, a leading proponent of body scanners, is now the head of a security consulting firm whose clients include Rapiscan--a maker of the body scanners and thus far the main recipient of government contracts for the machines.

Anybody know of website or youtube video that just rattles off examples of why the government should be feared more than a disturbed kid trying to blow up his underwear. I was arguing with a so called liberal who now expresses fear towards terrorism and is rattling the saber for US involvement in Yemen and anywhere that Obama wishes to go. She was shocked that I fear the government more than terrorism and listed the DEA shutting down medical marijuana clinics in California along with Ruby Ridge, Waco, Kent State but there has to be a complete list out there. Any ideas?

I spoke with Ziggy in the U.K. this morning to get his insights on the events of the world.  He brought some terrible news to my attention that deserves wider scrutiny.

British drug smuggler executed in China's Xinjiang

Dude was likely bi-polar, and executed for, from what I can tell, the non-violent non-crime of transporting an intoxicating substance through a totalitarian police state.  It was noted that the man may have suffered from untreated bi-polar disorder.

Now this kind of story scares the hell out of me. If they want someone to stay silent all they have to do is bring in child porn allegations and you can look forward to a living hell. 

This is a story I happened to run across late because it's from October. It's a story from The Adcocate, a newspaper from Baton Rouge, LA. Long story short, the District Attorney, Hillar Moore III, is threatening jail time for parents who allow their children to miss more than 3 days of school. First of all, school sucks. If school was so great, children wouldn't have to be coerced into going to school. Second, it is inherently wrong for any school system or state official to cage a parent for failing to make their children go to their indoctrination camps. Parents should not be so sheep like and not let the state tell them where there children should be. Parents should be responsible enough to watch over their own children.

Just read this story about how 4 Utah Teenagers rapped their order at a McDonald's in American Fork, Utah, and were cited for disorderly conduct.

This really blows my mind.  Trespassing maybe, but disorderly conduct?  Hardly.  The effectively sang their order to the drive through attendant, and had criminal charges filed agains them.  This is stupid, and is a telltale sign of the police state we live in.
