Monsanto's Seed Monopoly And Political Influence
Above clip shows how organic farmers are being sued because genetically modified genes get into their organic crops through cross-contamination and wind up mixed with the organic sometimes in a hybred. The farmers say it's not their fault, but yet they get sued by the big corporation anyway. Also, they had a contract with Iraq to be able to force them to use their seeds only. If they succeed in destroying seed banks, as was alleged in the video, we are really screwed.
Below video shows how influential they are with the media.
The monopoly and influence is moving towards the eastern countries like India as is shown in the below video.

Dr. Laura: Todays 'Self Appointed Activist Types' Breed Hate, Anger And Destruction
What do you think about Dr. Laura's apology? Do you accept it? Please leave a comment...
According to various sources, Dr. Laura Schlessinger has said or written:
"A huge portion of the male homosexual populace is predatory on young boys."
"If you're gay or lesbian it's a biological error."
"I call homosexual practices deviant."
"The First Amendment is not the 11th Commandment. Its protection does not extend to ALL speech."
"When we have the word 'homosexual,' we are clarifying the dysfunction, the deviancy, the reality."
"....[reparative] therapies which have been successful in helping a reasonable number of people become heterosexual."
"...I believe that homosexual behavior is deviant; that when homosexuals adopt children, these children are intentionally robbed of a necessary mom and dad..."
"I'm sorry, hear it one more time perfectly clearly: If you're gay or a lesbian, it's a biological error that inhibits you from relating normally to the opposite sex. The fact that you are intelligent, creative and valuable is all true. The error is in your inability to relate sexually intimately, in a loving way to a member of the opposite sex - it is a biological error." Quoted from Dr. Laura's Website, 1998-DEC
Meanwhile, here is a video that is in response to Dr. Laura's percieved homophobia a few years back....
Who was 'spreading hate' then, huh?
When someone comes off as a 'know-it-all' and 'holier than thou' and they are percieved as homophobic and racist, it is difficult to forgive and forget and move on so easily.
Perhaps it is her own 'just deserts' for spreading her hate, she must die by the sword?

'Secret' Gay Agenda: Freedom And Equality For Everyone
Oklahoma State Representative Sally Kern claims there is a secret cabal of gay millionaires who want freedom and equality for all in America. How she sees freedom and equality a threat to the 'American Way', I don't understand.

For over 65 years, Smokey the Bear has been telling us to prevent forest fires, but few of us know that the original Smokey was really named 'Hotfoot Teddy'. Teddy was rescued from a forest fire in New Mexico in 1950 by a game warden. Life Magazine has a slideshow about the Real Smokey the Bear here.

'An American Family' - The Original 'Reality TV' - Lance Loud Comes Out Gay
It's a common misconception that many think reality television only started in the 2000s. Filmed in 1971 and first airing in the United States on PBS in early 1973, 'An American Family' documentary was revolutionary for the times.
Here are some fascinating links:

Some Truths About STDs & HIV/AIDS - There's No Such Thing As 100% Safe Sex
The only way to be 100 percent safe from a sexually transmitted or even a socially transmitted disease is to never kiss anyone, never hug anyone, never shower with anyone, never share clothing, razors, toothbrushes, or combs, never have any kind of sex at all with anybody!
Q. What is the next best thing to 100 percent safe sex?
A. 99 percent safe sex.
Condoms, when used properly, are highly effective, and can be up to 99 percent safe from the following diseases spread by fluids: HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, trichomoniasis. Condoms remain the single most effective way to prevent sexually transmitted dieseases, aside from total sexual abstinence, of course.
Did you know that there have never been any reports of HIV transmission by kissing?
Kissing and/or swapping saliva can, however, give you the following viruses: herpes simplex type 1 (coldsore) virus, herpes virus type 2, Epstein-Barr Virus also known as human herpesvirus 4, mononucleosis, Cytomegalovirus, Streptococcus, common cold viruses, influenzas of all types, measles, meningitis, Gingivitis, pyorrhea, candidiasis or thrush, Coxsackievirus, hepatitis viruses A, B and C, gonorrhea, syphilis or chlamydia.

Just hugging can be quite dangerous in fact...
The following can be contagious from bedding or sharing clothing or towels: Crabs or Pubic Lice, Molluscum contagiosum, Scabies.
The concentration of HIV determines whether infection may happen. In blood, for example, the virus is very concentrated. A small amount of blood is enough to infect someone. A much larger amount of other body fluids is needed for HIV transmission. (source)
...and it must get into the bloodstream.
It is not enough to come into contact with an infected fluid to become infected. Healthy, unbroken skin does not allow HIV to get into the body; it is an excellent barrier to HIV infection.
How much risk are you willing to take?
No-risk safer sex play includes:
masturbation
mutual masturbation
cybersex
phone sex
sharing fantasies
Low-risk safer sex play includes:
kissing
fondling — manual stimulation of one another
body-to-body rubbing — frottage, "grinding," or "dry humping"
oral sex (even safer with a condom or other barrier)
playing with sex toys — alone or with a partner
The highest risk kinds of sex play are:
vaginal intercourse
anal intercourse

Award-Winning Documentary Film Screening Canceled After Anti-Gay Protest
After several hours of people pointing their fingers in her face and telling her she was going to hell, Keturah Cappadonia cracked.
In tears, the 28-year-old librarian in Coudersport, a rural town of 2,500 people, sent an e-mail to Joe Wilson and Dean Hamer, canceling the planned screening of their award-winning PBS documentary about the challenges of being openly gay in rural Pennsylvania.
Several churches in Potter County launched a campaign to force the local library to cancel, and the president of the Potter County Tea Party called for the library’s funding to be revoked if it didn’t comply.
The film is called 'Out in the Silence'.
'Out in the Silence' captures the remarkable chain of events that unfold when the announcement of filmmaker Joe Wilson’s wedding to another man ignites a firestorm of controversy in his small Pennsylvania hometown.
Drawn back by a plea for help from the mother of a gay teen being tormented at school, Wilson’s journey dramatically illustrates the universal challenges of being an outsider in a conservative environment and the transformation that is possible when those who have long been constrained by a traditional code of silence summon the courage to break it.
