I came across the following frightening story a couple of days ago: “The nation’s first comprehensive high school homeland security program, a three-year course to help kids land jobs in the growing anti-terrorism industry, is in its infancy in Maryland. But it’s recently been attracting the attention of educators and school districts from as far away as California and Florida…
“Some question whether the program will teach students to be open-minded about the government’s national security (…)

During this winter solstice time in America some of you will consider again the birth of babies in unlikely places, such as a particular middle-eastern stable during the Roman era approximately 2,000 years ago. And while reading about the 2007 Sissy Awards at www.advocate.com I got to thinking about another unlikely birth place, a particular lesbian womb of the early 21st century. The animal stable birth is well publicized by the anecdotal writings of the Middle Eastern (…)

I have been keeping track of George W. Bush and his shenanigans for over 6 years. I have thousands of files on his doings, sayings, and atrocities. I did not start out loathing him, but was curious about how this callow, shallow, inarticulate, culturally-incurious, spoiled rich boy could possibly have been entered into the political arena by party bosses.
His early years shed no light on his leadership ability. His rich (…)

Abstract: There has been a fundamental change in the nature of war and militarism since World War I, and this change has escalated out of control since World War II. The use of toxic gas as a weapon, poisoning of water ways or air, and using chemicals in warfare broke the taboo against widespread and indiscriminative killing of non-combatants,.
This trend escalated during WW II through carpet bombings, the (…)

Oklahoma Universities have had a long standing in Anti-Democracy. This has been perpetuated by the Oklahoma Regents for Higher Education.
Yesterday that was made even clearer by one of the State Universities instructing employees
they could not say Merry Christmas to Co-workers or in emails to name a few areas. If they begin with Christmas where will they end up if not stopped now.
Contact Oklahoma law makers and tell them what you think.

SWOSU a small state run Oklahoma University has instructed staff they cannot use
the term Christmas. As a further example of un-Constitutional freedom of speech

The secret destruction of (…)
