What's Another Year in Afghanistan?
http://thwapschoolyard.blogspot.com/2010/02/whats-another-year-in-afghanistan.html
After eight years of a corrupt, brutal, unelected puppet-government, propped-up by foreign troops and gangster warlords? After eight years of arresting farmers, some of whom joined the insurgency in response to the depredations of the torturing, thieving, raping government forces, and others who hadn't taken up arms against anyone at anytime, and handing them over to that same Afghan government where they were tortured, perhaps killed?
After eight years of subjecting our own troops to witnessing children being raped at the hands of the government forces we're propping-up, arming and training?
After eight years of civilians killed by NATO air-strikes?

As ProPublica has detailed in more than 60 articles, the process comes with risks. The fluids used in hydraulic fracturing are laced with chemicals—some of which are known carcinogens. And because the process is exempt from most federal oversight, it is overseen by state agencies that are spread thin and have widely varying regulations.

Study Offers Evidence That Spongiform Brain Diseases Are Caused By Aberrant Protein
Scientists have determined how a normal protein can be converted into a prion, an infectious agent that causes fatal brain diseases in humans and mammals.
Using a recombinant mouse prion protein, known as PrP, the team discovered that the protein's interaction with lipids, the main structural component of a cell membrane, leads to its change in conformation, or misfolding of the protein.
The newly formed recombinant prion made mice sick within 130 days after injection into the brain, and those brain tissues from the sick mice infected a second group of mice as well, thus proving the recombinant prion's serial transmissibility.

Mythic Truths Unify, Mythic Lies Fragment – “A house divided against itself cannot stand.”
http://dandelionsalad.wordpress.com/2010/02/22/mythic-truths-unify-mythic-lies-fragment-%e2%80%93-%e2%80%9ca-house-divided-against-itself-cannot-stand-%e2%80%9d-by-robert-s-becker
When 86% (!) of us in last weekend’s poll conclude government is broken, we’re talking not just systemic breakdowns, but the disintegration of unifying mythologies that define core relationships and make co-operation, even mutual survival possible. When paralysis is apparent even to nitwits, we must look beyond personalities or partisanship to divergences in belief systems that fragment the nation, what people assume, often unconsciously, to be good and true.
