Stocking up on food illegal

You may be declared a terrorist suspect for storing more than seven days of food. The Mormon Chronicle reported that there was an alleged “raid” on a Tennessee LDS (Mormon) Food Cannery, in which Federal agents demanded their customer list. See youtube.com/watch?v=iD1T61oTrR8.

Owe the IRS? You're Not Going Anywhere

Owe the IRS $50,000 or more? Proposed Senate Bill 1813 would take away your passport keeping you from leaving the country. Specifically leaving or entering the country.

Time to get back to this!

I haven't been doing this in a very long time. I promise (mostly to myself) that I will get back to this soon.

Talking points for right wing radio, circa 2004

I sent this site out to my e-mail list tonight. It's about some right wing talking points put out for radio talk shows by someone named Frank Luntz. I guess it was his idea to discredit the idea of global warming but now has changed his mind. In case this site disappears from the web I attached a copy on the first comment.

The Lebanese Bloggers

Here's a good place to see what the Lebanese Bloggers are saying about this war.

Movie: Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime

I just saw a good movie online. It's called Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime 1.0, and is on Google. I found this through a blogger called MUSCLEMOUTH. If you can, watch it, but be advised it's over an hour long so you want to make sure you have the time.

Deep Confusion

Deep Confusion is the name of a blogsite I just heard about through the creator's call in to the Mike Malloy show on Air America. You might want to give the lady a read. Her husband is a doctor in the military flying between Iraq and Germany with our injured. (Disgusting war!)

She also talks about the movie about nine-eleven, Loose Change. If I haven't mention this movie before, I highly recommend this movie but with this caution: you should get/have some exposure to some of the events that occurred then and some background in the deception, lies, and manipulating of this government before you see this move. I can't imagine seeing this without a little preparation. It would put me (and did a little bit anyway) into state of shock. If you have questions about the movie post them here and I will try to help and maybe others as they read will help too.

If you want to search for this movie yourself, go to google, click on more, click on video, and enter the search phrase Loose Change. You want to see version 2. You can also find copies in other languages like French, Swedish or German.

Bad Treatment from the San Diego Government

Here's an e-mail I just sent complaining about the treatment I got from my government. It sure made me irate! You should have heard his attitude.

Dear San Diego County Supervisor Pam Slater-Price,

As a citizen of your district I called your office requesting a public hearing about the integrity of our voting process here in San Diego County. I'm concerned because the voting machines were taken home by the he voting machines were sent home with volunteer poll workers the night before the election, and in some cases as long as two weeks before the election, and that they are extremely accessible to tampering. I am also concerned that the absentee ballots weren't counted. For example, when Bilbray in the Bilbray/Busby race was declared the winner the SD Voter site still showed a sizeable amount of absentee ballots not yet tallied that could have swung this election either way.

I got a call back from your aide, Jim Gonsalves, who was angry that I should call to complain and ask for a public hearing into this matter. He said who was I (one person) to say such a thing and where was my proof. I told him that that is why I thought there should be public hearings into the matter to see if there was any proof. He asked me who I thought would pay for such a thing.

I AM a citizen and shouldn't be treated this way. He at least should have said he would look into the matter. I guess in politics you can't be nice and I should have demanded a hearing instead of requesting one.

I would appreciate a reply back from you, and under the circumstances, personally.

Thank you, Bob Wolfe

A Single Person Could Swing an Election

This article is from the Washington Post dated June 28, 2006. If the link above has retired, I repeated the article as a comment (to save space here) to this post and to my post of Thursday, June 08, 2006, entitled: San Diego's FIXED VOTES. I've also added as a comment a long but very interesting article written in the Rolling Stone magazine by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on June 1, 2006, entitled "Was the 2004 Election Stolen?" Hint: drag the comment box corner to make it larger, it'll be easier to read the comments.

An Inconvenient Truth

I was part of a four-some today that went to see the movie "An Inconvenient Truth" by Al Gore. I would highly recommend this movie with this caveat; it did put one of our members to sleep. Not the most exciting or action-packed and even a bit dull at times, but the information presented was almost heart-stopping and very startling.

The weather HAS changed noticeably in my lifetime. I remember in the early forties (Yes I am that old) a thin ribbon of smoke from the incinerator (more about that later) going up as far as you could see in a perfectly un-tinted blue…in Los Angeles!

An incinerator was a stove/oven thing we used then to burn our trash. I can still smell the burning of orange peels. We would open the bottom door and pick through the ashes with sticks, pulling out anything unburned, like tin can tops and egg shells and orange peels. We never thought of pollution then, and I’m sure being that young at the time didn’t change that fact.

Peace Takes Courage

I was up very late last night after spending hours at a site I heard about. The site is www.peacetakescourage.com and is stunning considering it's published by a 15-year-old girl. I hesitate calling her a girl after seeing some of the things she's done. I would call her a young woman. She's had some death threats for some of the videos she's created. Especially the video named WWJD? which can be seen here. If you click on the "Animations" tab you can see lot of her videos. Also of interest are the tabs "About", "Blog", and "Forum". This whole site is amazing considering her age. I can only assume she's had some help. She has been on several news shows lately. You can find a copy of her interview on CNN if you search for her name, Ava Lowery, on youtube.com.

Looks like a very powerful can't miss movie. You can go here to watch an interesting interview with this film maker, Aaron Russo.
