DC School Warns Parents they’ll call CPS if You’re Late to Pick Up Your Children After School
As we have frequently reported here at Health Impact News over the years, very few children in the U.S. seized by Child Protective Services are taken because they are being abused.

Recently a school district in Pennsylvania received media attention for threatening parents who were late in paying their school lunch fees of being reported to CPS and possibly losing their children. Now, another report out of Washington D.C. shows how one school threatened parents who... more »
Even When They Manage To Steal Control Of Government, Conservatives Don't Do Anything But Obstruct
Ohio reactionary, Gym Jordan (R-OH) is a leading Republican on two committees: Oversight and Government Reform ,where he is the ranking member, and Judiciary. That's it. He's not on any committees that deal with passing actual laws, just committees that most deal with bad behavior. So when he goes on Fox every other day to warn about how Democrats don't deal with anything substantive, he's referring to his own committees-- and he's lying. Democrats have passed dozens of bills to make life better for the American people but they can't move forward because Senate Majority Leader, ... more »

On The Modern Aristotelians
The Aristotelian philosophers are more likely to have a balanced worldview than the philosophers who are not inspired by Aristotle. While modern philosophy is mostly atheistic and socialistic, many Aristotelian philosophers are vocal about their theism and conservatism. It will be wrong to say that atheism is incompatible with Aristotelianism—but I think it will be difficult for an Aristotelian to be an atheist, or a socialist, because the modern approach to Aristotle is inspired by the work done by the two 13th century theologians, Albertus Magnus and Thomas Aquinas.

Sept. 10:really bad times are on their way.
I've been looking at some pictures of life in Britain about 1900. For the poor - who were most of the population - life was vile. Boys and girls six and seven were sent to work in factories, or being lowered down into chimneys to sweep them. It was six days a week - and, get this, 16 hours a day for kids of six. Commonly, then, there was no schooling. And therefore no hope for a better future. Clothing was hand-me-downs, ratty and filthy. They lived in vile flats, often just one room for the whole family. And no toilets. No running water. Their parents were wretchedly dressed. Oft... more »

"A Look to the Heavens"
“These three bright nebulae are often featured on telescopic tours of the constellation Sagittarius and the crowded starfields of the central Milky Way. In fact, 18th century cosmic tourist Charles Messier cataloged two of them; M8, the large nebula above and left of center, and colorful M20 near the bottom of the frame. The third emission region includes NGC 6559, right of M8 and separated from the larger nebula by a dark dust lane. *Click image for larger size.* All three are stellar nurseries about five thousand light-years or so distant. Over a hundred light-years across the expan... more »
"It Is Our Fate..."
"Well, it is our fate to live in a time of crisis. To live in a time when all forms and values are being challenged. In other and more easy times, it was not, perhaps, necessary for the individual to confront himself with a clear question: What is it that you really believe? What is it that you really cherish? What is it for which you might, actually, in a showdown, be willing to die? I say, with all the reticence which such large, pathetic words evoke, that one cannot exist today as a person– one cannot exist in full consciousness– without having to have a showdown with one’s self,... more »
The tearing-down of the old city of Jerusalem
* Men* should learn to stand within the citadel of being, insulated by the currents of the Holy Ghost but capable of reaching out in mercy’s name with the response that is dictated by their own inner God nature. They should lovingly place themselves upon the ladder of availability, going up or down so that their awareness can coincide momentarily with the ups and downs of others as the elevatorlike consciousness of humanity rises and falls. Thus the compassionate ones, taking no thought for their lives, descend to the level of greatest need to raise up the downtrodden to a higher r... more »

“Stress: Are You Sick With Worry?”
*“Stress: Are You Sick With Worry?”* by Jordan Lite “You're probably familiar with the insidious effects of stress on your sleep quality and its link to anxiety and depression. Now growing body of evidence suggests that stress can take a physical toll, too, damaging everything from your heart to your immune system. It may even shorten your lifespan.

The Poet: Mary Oliver, "One"
*"One"* "The mosquito is so small it takes almost nothing to ruin it. Each leaf, the same. And the black ant, hurrying. So many lives, so many fortunes! Every morning, I walk softly and with forward glances down to the ponds and through the pinewoods. Mushrooms, even, have but a brief hour before the slug creeps to the feast, before the pine needles hustle down under the bundles of harsh, beneficent rain. How many, how many, how many make up a world! And then I think of that old idea: the singular and the eternal. One cup, in which everything is swirled back to the color of the sea and s... more »

"8 Things to Remember When Everything Goes Wrong"
*"8 Things to Remember When Everything Goes Wrong"* by Marc Chernoff “Today, I’m sitting in my hospital bed waiting to have both my breasts removed. But in a strange way I feel like the lucky one. Up until now I have had no health problems. I’m a 69-year-old woman in the last room at the end of the hall before the pediatric division of the hospital begins. Over the past few hours I have watched dozens of cancer patients being wheeled by in wheelchairs and rolling beds. None of these patients could be a day older than 17.” That’s an entry from my grandmother’s journal, dated 9/16/19... more »

TRUMP IS NO DOVE, BUT I STAND BY "WAR-AVERSE," WITH AN ASTERISK
I'm told I tweeted the wrong thing today: The fact that Trump seems war-averse and just fired his most virulent hawk doesn't mean he isn't a fucking horrorshow in every other way. — Steve M. (@nomoremister) September 10, 2019 Some responses were a tad harsh: "War averse" lol. Delete this messhttps://t.co/rc1m2bCRe2 — Liz Warren = Dow Chemical blood money (@plsnobreadlines) September 10, 2019 I shouldn't have said "war-averse." Trump is averse to starting *new* wars. It's not because he's a dove. I think this is correct: He's not war-averse, precisely. He's Vietnam-averse. Grena... more »

"Maybe..."
"Maybe this is kind of cliche, but animals, well, dogs, are what I do for a living. One reason I like spending time with them so much is they seem to think people are really good. They live with us, and obey our rules, most of which make no sense to them. And the main reason they do it is because they like us. When I watch them, sometimes I'm so blown away by how enthusiastic they are about everything we do that I have to go out and buy them something squeaky or chewy, just because I love proving to them that it's not a mistake to see the world as a great benevolent place. I hope on... more »
