Thoughts on funding of “cures” for psychiatric illnesses

Thursday, November 11th, 2010

(Slightly abridged from something I posted to Usenet earlier tonight) We need to cut any and all government funding of public, private, nonprofit, and academic efforts researching “curing” mental illness, autism, retardation, etc. because there is a major conflict of interest issue. Unlike medication, which treats symptoms such as depression, anxiety, paranoia, attentiveness, etc., a [...]

Another Reason the Media Establishment Mocks & Opposes the Meaningful

Monday, August 2nd, 2010

I’ve always maintained that there is an agenda behind the media establishment’s mocking and opposing faith, religion, family, and culture – that being the lacking created by promiscuous sex, abuse of drugs and alcohol, and other superficial phenomenon creates psychological voids in one’s life, which can be temporarily “fixed” by buying the products in the [...]

People are starting to wake up.

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

For at least 2-3 years, including on this blog, I have been pointing out the hypocrisy resulting from the commercialization of open-source software, including the FSF selling out to special interests, TPM in the Linux kernel, the NSA winning a “no-bid contract” of sort into the Linux kernel’s remote attestation features, remote attestation in Linux [...]

But when it involves bad medical advice…

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

…then it is spam. I was really unhappy to see, this afternoon, that someone had linked to my previous blog entry and written a commentary themselves, which I could only read a half a paragraph, since the user shut their blog down on the same day. No Internet Archive either. I guess it’s forever lost [...]

“Blogs vs. Twitter & Facebook” Arguments, As Applied to the Bill of Rights

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

There have been a lot of posts (and political lobbying) within the past few years by a dying Media 1.0 establishment and a gullible public to discourage the creation and reading of blogs, this time by encouraging Twitter and Facebook as replacements for blogs. Examples: 1 2 3 4 Rather than go on a standard [...]

I hate this.

They don’t even give any reasoning anymore behind their unwelcome infringements on your right to free speech. I’m not just talking about the government – I’m talking about every aspect of your personal life.

The protest ended last night…

Friday, May 7th, 2010

…and while Islam will continue to be forced via theocracy, violence, and censorship, as it has for centuries, hopefully my protest will make those who care about freedom aware of this direct threat on our lives and liberties, willing to ignore “political correctness” and other forms of left-wing censorship, and that, as with any other [...]

Repeal Freedom of Speech – it’s 230 years old!

Monday, February 1st, 2010

This video is scary. A conspiracy theorist goes around the streets of California trying to get signatures for a “Repeal the 1st Amendment” petition. He markets the 1st Amendment as outdated and tells people signing that a repeal will prevent “hate speech” and will ban criticism of the President. No joke! Watch the video: Video [...]

A gem from a time when…

Sunday, September 13th, 2009

This is a gem from a time when the trivial and superficial were frowned upon, when thought and creativity were encouraged, especially in children, when morality, however you defined it, was the center of your life, when society valued freedom, the individual, where asceticism and social justice complemented each other in the minds of youth, [...]
