FDA orders Dr. Mercola to stop writing about health benefits of vitamin D?
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
It is apparent that CSPI is a long standing public relations whore for the Big Pharma agenda. I do read plenty of Mercola's writings and he is always careful and sourced as well. But that has never stopped the peddling of false claims to promote an alternate agenda. Most of these creeps would be better served by simply ignoring the Dr. Mercolas of this world. Let them bear the expense of sharing useful information. However stupid does as stupid does. *FDA orders Dr. Mercola to stop writing about health benefits of vitamin D… because knowledge is the enemy of every totalita...

Better yet, just having a safer alternative allows the more rational members of society to push those alternatives when faced with risk taking behavior. Recreational substance use can possibly become safe enough. none of this stops crack cocaine but that is a dealer driven problem to start with along with the pharmaceuticals and...

Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *Firearms, Americas* [image: Firearms] There are many good 1911s out there and the one built by Kimber is among the finest. *Key point: *Colt made its fame through the powerful and reliable 1911 pistol.

While it was Colt Firearms that produced the first of the John Moses Browning-designed M1911 .45 pistols, today the market leader in the category is Kimber. And it isn’t hard to see why, as the company has become known for building fine sporting firearms th...
