Jim Webb, D-Va: Not a Friend of Veterans Exposed to Agent Orange

Years of denial, small breakthroughs, and a large setback, or is it a stab in the back?

(DA NANG, Vietnam) - Senator Jim Webb, a Vietnam Veteran himself, has won approval to STALL the newest three presumptive illnesses from the Agent Orange list which Secretary Shinseki had already approved.

This is, at least for now, a temporary and 60 day freeze. However, if he receives congressional momentum in favor of what he is proposing, these three new presumptives, COULD be prevented from being approved.

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”.

`The IDF is Jack the Ripper` - Israel`s Weak Shot at a Propaganda Video....Stupid!

Israel's weak attempt at a propaganda video.

(SALEM, Ore.) - I was a little concerned when this propaganda video minimizing Israel's murder on the high seas was sent over to Salem-News.com, after all propaganda is dangerous stuff.

`Great Salad Bowl`?

The fact that we were a "great melting pot" gave us the strength to endure because, first and foremost, we were all Americans ... each adding their own flavor to the blend in the pot.

(Harrisville, N.H.) - America has been known as "the great melting pot" for as long as I can remember. People from every corner of the globe combined as Americans to make our country great. They took advantage of opportunities that existed here that did not exist in their native lands.

Opportunities to reap the benefits of their own hard work, opportunities to worship God in their own way, opportunities to speak their minds freely, and opportunities to raise their families in peace and safety.

(EUGENE, Ore.) - Anwar al-Awlaki received some press coverage recently when the U.S. Government declared that they had put out a hit on him. Al-Awlaki has documented connections to several 9/11 hijackers and to Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hassan. The “Times Square Unexplosive Device Planter” Faisal Shahad claims to have been inspired by him.

What is less covered in the media is that other so called “jihadis” have declared him to be a CIA agent.

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.
