Ron Paul on January 4, 2007, purportedly would:* reduce identity theft by prohibiting the use of a Social Security number for any purpose other than for specified Social Security and tax purposes; * prohibit the federal government from establishing a national ID or uniform identifier system; and * prevent federal agencies from using federal grants, contracts, or funding (the carrot and stick strategy) to compel or blackmail states into adopting uniform ID standards that would create a de facto national ID system.CHECK BLOG for the FULL ARTICLE.-04|17|08- FREERICE.COM - FEED PEOPLE At FreeRice.com, you can "donate" 20 grains of rice to the needy simply by choosing the right answer to a word definition problem. Each correct answer results in another donation of 20 grains. FreeRice.com is the creation of 49-year-old American computer programmer John Breen, and is the sister site of Poverty.com, launched in January 2007 with a counter showing one person dying of hunger every 3.5 seconds. Breen is no stranger to such programs, having created The Hunger Site [www.thehungersite.com] in June 1999.As to who foots the bill for the food being donated, the site says: "The rice is paid for by the advertisers whose names you see on the bottom of your vocabulary screen." As more people play the game, the site racks up more advertising revenue, which in turn is converted into food donations for the hungry. On 7 October 2007, the first day of the site's operations, only 830 grains were donated. As of 17 November 2007, the number of grains of rice given away amounts to 2,457,120,420.The rice is distributed by the United Nations' World Food Programme [www.wfp.org], an organization that in 2006 reached 87.8 million people in 78 countries.Check it out and help feed people while you better yourself.

GUN BAN For the first time in nearly 70 years, the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday will enter the constitutional debate over the Second Amendment right to bear arms. At issue is the nation’s strictest gun control law - Washington, D.C.’s ban on handguns. Only one other city in the nation, Chicago, has a law this strict, but if the District loses, it could imperil other less restrictive laws across the country - laws that ban machine guns, and assault weapons, for example.CHECK BLOG for the FULL ARTICLE.-03|09|08- DRUGS FOUND IN DRINKING WATER An Associated Press investigation shows at least41 million Americans are exposed to pharmaceuticals in their drinking water, including systems here in Ohio.

But is the government manufacturing ghosts? It was late November 2006, and twenty-two-year-old Derrick Shareef and his friend Jameel were hanging out in Rockford, Illinois, dreaming about staging a terrorist attack on America. The two men weren't sure what kind of assault they could pull off. All Shareef knew was that he wanted to cause major damage, to wreak vengeance on the country he held responsible for oppressing Muslims worldwide. "Smoke a judge," Shareef said. Maybe firebomb a government building.CHECK BLOG for the FULL ARTICLE.-10|04|07- L.A.S.E.R. TAG 2007 L.A.S.E.R.

Five feet six and barely 120 pounds, Rodgers was darting in and out of buildings at the Colorado ski resort, 11,000 feet up. He crept into the back bowl's ski-lift shacks, then made his way across the slopes to a massive shelter for skiers and a snack bar piled high with bulging trash bags. Everywhere he went, Rodgers set a crude timing device. Each timer was connected to a small filament attached to a matchbook. The flame from the matches would ignite a road flare or a gas-soaked sponge, which in turn would set off a five-gallon plastic bucket filled with a mix of diesel and gas—a concoction Rodgers liked to call "vegan jello." When the timers went off, the entire mountain would go up in smoke.CHECK BLOG for the FULL ARTICLE.-02|25|05- PA PATRIOT UNDER FIRE Darrell W.
