My Silence Cannot Be Bought

http://www.commondreams.org

A woman wanted to know the truth and she died shortly after her decision to find the truth. I've chosen to go to court rather than accept a payoff from the 9/11 victims compensation fund. Instead, I want to know what went so wrong with our intelligence and security systems that a band of religious fanatics was able to turn four U.S passenger jets into an enemy force, attack our cities and kill 3,000 civilians with terrifying ease. I want to know why two 110-story skyscrapers collapsed in less than two hours and why escape and rescue options were so limited.

FDA acts against 5 electronic cigarette distributors

http://www.fda.gov

The FDA uses it's powers to ban "electronic" cigarets. Welcome to the new powers of the government.

Aren't these really a toy instead of a food, drug or cosmetic? Yes, yes, yes. I know how they work and that these can be used as a drug delivery system. So does your automobile. I believe that the FDA needs to narrow it's focus and do a better job there instead of expanding what it does. Consumer Reports or similar private testing agency would be a better forum for public safety with respect these devices.

Recently, when enjoying some food and drinks with my bud Adam (a sponsored athlete of Marijuana Muscle) on his property, an unexpected and unwelcome visitor stopped by.

http://www.youtube.com

Daily News @ http://RevolutionNews.US ~ (FL) miaminewtimes.com - Adams is an exemplary cop if his personnel record is any indication... But he says the state's largest police department has become a menace, regularly abusing and humiliating the people it's sworn to protect -- and then lying about it. "They're supposed to be my brothers in blue," he says, struggling to keep his voice audible as his eyes become soggy. "But they're not my brothers -- not when they're treating people like this...
