In a modern democratic society, there’s no denying that “big business” has one supreme goal – make as much money as they can. There’s also no denying that no other economic/sociologic society can be as successful as a modern democracy. But without a proper balance of power between corporate America (big business and executive management) and the people who actually drive the machine (the common employees), a democratic society will eventually burn itself out.

While the world knew about the disaster at Three mile Island, few Americans are aware of what was actually the worst nuclear spill in U.S. history, according to officials at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. At 5:00 AM on Jul 16, 1979, 100 million gallons of radioactive waster containing uranium tailings breached from a tailing pond into the north arm of Rio Puerco, near the small town of Church Rock, New Mexico.
One hours later, workers shored up the hole in the tailing pond dam, but by 8:00 AM the radiation was detectable in Gallup, New Mexico. Radiation was detected up to 50 miles from the site of the spill. more |

| Of the vast amount of information available on the Internet, which subset is most hated by practically everyone – child pornography. This deplorable form of pornography is so widely frowned upon in our society; persons who are convicted and serve time in prison are considered the lowest man on the totem pole and suffer unheard of humiliations including sexual abuse and severe beatings. Detractors of freedom advocates will use it as leverage by pointing out that persons seeking to ensure free speech often end up protecting these sexual deviants. Even the United States government can use it in legal requests to gain unquestioned cooperation from just about everyone. more |

| Charles Goodyear, born in 1800 in New Haven, Connecticut, was barely 60 years old when he died in debt. His discovery of the process of vulcanization should have earned him millions.

Now Foley has been discovered to be a pedophile himself after a 2005 incident with a 16 year old boy, was uncovered months later. more |

| The United States has had many antagonists during its eventful history – Russia, Korea, Viet Nam, Iraq – even the mother country, Britain, was once considered an aggressor. One sordid assailant is often overlooked and possibly even misunderstood – Iran. Many in the U.S. already recognize that Iran has a strong loathing for the United States.

Sadly, it looks like successful actress Lindsay Lohan is headed down that same path. more |
