Oregon Medical Marijuana Program: Oregon Business Magazine Promotes it

The cost of the drug war is at least $10 billion and close to that if Marijuana were taxed like alcohol and tobacco which are both death dealing drugs. MARIJUANA HAS NEVER KILLED ANYBODY.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - When I first saw the article in Oregon Business Magazine, May 2010, titled Marijuana Goes Mainstream in Southern Oregon I could barely believe it.

After reading, and nearly vomiting, about the ignorant vehemence of Dan Harmon of Associated Oregon Industries (AOI) I was really “hornswoggled”.

ADD, ADHD and Autism Causation: Could it be Chlorinated Hydrocarbon Pesticides

I feel that it is time for the pediatric researchers of ADD/ADHD and Autism to investigate the chlorinated hydrocarbons.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - I believe the above title has driven many physicians and psychologists to end up with a similar problem.

ADD is classified in The Merck Manual as a developmental disorder but Autism is classified as a psychiatric disorder. I’m not going to get caught up in the semantics of this and it may be simplistic of me to lump them together but I’m doing it anyhow, you’ll find out why later.

Justice Breyer but not Justice Thomas?

I remind all of us that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, a former corporate attorney for Monsanto has not recused himself from this case.

(DA NANG, Vietnam) - The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear oral arguments Tuesday regarding a federal judge's temporary ban on a breed of pesticide-resistant alfalfa, setting the stage for the court's first-ever ruling on genetically modified crops.

This might indeed be an opportunity to strike a more permanent blow to Monsanto and its latest horror - genetically modified seeds and crops.

Monsanto: Not just Dioxin - But PCB`s as Well

...and genetically engineered seeds, forced bankruptcies, suicides - the list continues and grows daily!

(DA NANG, Vietnam) - Monsanto has no, I repeat NO regard for human life or our environment. They continue to destroy both with only one goal in mind: Corporate earnings and profit.

Monsanto has earned over $11 billion in 2009? How much money Monsanto spent on SAVING human lives from the horrific deaths and illnesses associated with Agent Orange? That's right, zero.

The Hypocrisy of a Killer

Hypocrisy is defined as “the act of persistently professing beliefs, opinions, virtues, feelings, qualities, or standards that are inconsistent with one’s actions. Hypocrisy is thus a lie”.

(DA NANG, Vietnam) - On April 18, 2010, The Dow Live Earth Run for Water will take place.

Dow Chemical, event sponsor, said, “these activities will ignite a massive global movement to help solve the water crisis”.

The 35th Anniversary of the Fall of Saigon

It is estimated that between 2,495,000 and 5,020,000 human lives were lost between the years 1959 and 1975 in Vietnam. These numbers include those who died as a result of combat, disease, famine and yes, murder.

(DA NANG, Vietnam) - On April 30th, 2010, we commemorate two extraordinary events in United States as well as World history.

The first marks the capture of Saigon, then the capital of South Vietnam, by the North Vietnamese Army.

New VA Program Should Speed and Simplify Process for Agent Orange Veterans

VCS Endorses VA's Bold Action to Reduce Claim Backlog.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - A reprieve this week for veterans of the Vietnam War suffering from exposure to the chemical defoliant Agent Orange.

Tuesday, the Department of Veterans Affairs said it will begin automating part of the cumbersome system that has resulted in so many thousands of veterans waiting for years, sometimes until the end of their lives, for compensation from their war injuries.

Bisphenol A - Political Hell Freezes Over

The FDA’s credibility has no validity, as they have seemingly accepted a myriad of corporate bribes allowing food manufacturers and chemical companies to corner the market on the poisoning of America.

(SALEM, Ore.) - On January 16th, The US Food and Drug Administration finally hopped ship in a last ditch effort to save what’s left of their sinking vessel.

It was hardly a rush to reckless abandonment in the wake of mounting toxic bisphenol glaciers shining brightly as beacons in the night.
