Ex-FEMA head to start disaster planning firm
“Brown said companies already have expressed interested in his consulting business, Michael D. Brown LLC. He plans to run it from the Boulder area, where he lived before joining the Bush administration in 2001.”
I think Mr. Brown will do a great job of running this company, we need hundreds more just like it.

Alzheimer – Aluminum/Phosphate Connection
“Americans are losing their minds to Alzheimer’s disease. It’s an epidemic. And it’s not typical of what’s going on in the rest of the world.
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that there are 18 million people with Alzheimer’s. Over 4 1/2 million Americans have the disease. We account for 25% of all Alzheimer’s cases, even though we represent only 4.6% of the world’s population. Europe is experiencing half our rate of disease. For Americans over 85 years of age, 50% are thought to have Alzheimer’s.
The question is, “Why?”
Interesting insight..

Is having a child — even one — environmentally destructive?
A rather Moonbatty take on children and the environment. Give it a read…it is always good for us parents to know and understand the agendas being spoon fed to our kids in school.
This movement seems to be the exact opposite of the command given to Adam and Eve, which is still in force today…

My Homebirth Story
“When Lynn first mentioned the idea of giving birth to our baby at home I told her she was crazy! No way was I going to allow that. I was the man of the house and it was my responsibility to protect and watch out for the well being of the family and I just felt that giving birth at home away from the professional medical support was just plain irresponsible if not downright dangerous. Well, that was because I had bought into the prevailing notion that childbirth is inherently risky and fraught with danger that requires the constant supervision of trained medical people. Little did I know just how wrong that notion was.
Lynn does not give into me that easily so she worked and worked on me to educate me about the idea of homebirth. I am not too stubborn and will change my mind if I am presented with new information so I did some reading and listened to Lynn with an open mind. It was when I read Marilyn Moran’s book Birth a Dialogue of Love that I realized we should have a homebirth.
It was Marilyn who made me realize that birth is part of a couple’s love just as conception is. I concluded that I was missing something from our four prior hospital births. I was not a participant; I didn’t have a role to play; I was extra. I just stood around trying to talk soothingly to Lynn and holding her hand (when she let me), but the focus of attention was on the medical surroundings and all the interventions, the constant stream of strangers into the room to check on progress, to hook up the fetal monitor, to insert the IV during one of the births.
I felt so unneeded one time I went and got myself a sandwich for lunch, leaving Lynn there knowing the medical people would be watching her. I know that seems pretty cold and heartless of me, but I feel that the situation contributed to that. As I recall, it was actually the doctor who suggested I go to get some lunch.
Then we got close to delivery (still talking about the other four hospital deliveries) and that’s when I really became superfluous. In all four of our hospital births there would come a time during labor when Lynn would not want to hear from me or touch me. One time she actually told a nurse she wanted to hear her, not me, and wouldn’t let me touch her.”

“Guys, if you want to gain a whole new appreciation for the miracle of life and for your wife then catch your own baby. You’ll also feel more of an attachment to that child too. I feel different about Millicent than my other four that were caught by doctors in the hospital. I don’t mean to say I love Millicent any more than Robby, Melanie, Hilary or Christina.
I love all my children as unique and special gifts from God entrusted by him to my and Lynn’s care, but there is just something there with Millicent that isn’t with the others. I really believe she even reacted to my voice differently as an infant, almost as if she knew that I was the first one to hold her. I should have had that with all my children and if I had it to do over again, I would have had all of them at home.

Mao Biography upsetting the Marxists
Boo Hoo, yet another Marxist Dictator is being exposed as the murderer he truly was, and the Socialists are not happy about it…
“In Berkeley, where revolutionaries schooled in the ’60s tilt against global capitalism and post-socialist state China is a growing field of academic study, radicals and scholars alike are coming to grips with a new biography that paints Chinese communist icon Mao Zedong as pure evil.
In “Mao: The Unknown Story,” authors Jung Chang and Jon Halliday portray Mao (1893-1976) as a cynical hedonist who rose to absolute power on Soviet strongman Josef Stalin’s muscle and his willingness to crush millions of peasants in famine, war and sadistic repression.
The authors, who spent a decade on the project and scoured private and government records in China and Russia, say Mao killed 10 times more innocents than Hitler and was as pitiless as he was incompetent as a revolutionary. The fabled Long March of the 1930s? Bungled. The Cultural Revolution of the ’60s and ’70s? Nothing more than a murderous fit of pique by a tyrant upset that he’d been crossed by rivals and enamored of public torture.”
and
“What sets this apart from other historical studies is that this person Mao, who led an historic revolution and changed the landscape of China and was an inspiration throughout the world — they’re saying this was a scheming, bloodthirsty opportunist who was evil from the day he was born to the day he died and who hijacked a revolution,” Lotta said. “I think it’s part of a continuing attempt to discredit communism and Maoism and any alternative to the current world order.”
And discrediting Communism is bad???
I keep hearing all about “post socialist” China, and Capitalist China. I don’t where these people get their facts but until China has free elections, a free press, Rule of Law, Seperation of Powers, and most notably, A FREE MARKET ECONOMY, as well as Protection of the masses to buy and sell property, they will not be, and are not a capitalist country.
They are still a Communist state that has a ruling class soaking a lavish lifestyle off the blood, sweat, and tears of the workers.
This new book exposing Mao is a good thing, but don’t be fooled into thinking that any sort of discrepancies in lifestyle and income are because of Capitalism in China. Nothing could be further from the truth. Free Markets and the Rule of Law will bring prosperity and a higher standard of living to this traumetized country. When Mao’s picture is finally taken off of Chinese Money, then I believe China will have regained its soul.
I have not read the book yet, but Wild Swans is one of my favorites!
