The Causes and Cures for Global Warming
Friday, July 30th, 2010Author Tony Demaio
Folks, I have been giving some thoughts to the problem of global warming. I sort of hope it is true, as I sit here in “sunny” California, in the middle of April, with a fire in the fireplace trying to keep warm. As a matter of fact, I KNOW it is true because [...]
Western Energy Capitol–Making the Most of What We’ve Got
Friday, July 30th, 2010Author Steve Foste
Do you really need a PhD in Energy to understand the solution to the energy problem? Do you have to be a lobbyist to line the pockets of the politicians to get anything done? Or do we have to go to the elitist to develop the system of energy control so they [...]
The Minimum Wage – How Poor is Poor?
Friday, July 30th, 2010Author Tony DeMaio
Once upon a time, many years ago, I had a Civil Service job and was making the princely sum of about $3,000/month ($150/day). At the time it was one of the highest paid Civil Service positions in the State of California. (For the most part, higher levels were political appointees.) I had a [...]
Who Is Watching Your Inbox?
Friday, July 30th, 2010Author Linda Brady Traynham
I have a superb SPAM filter built into the e-mail provider I use customarily and ferocious protective software on my share of our…seven, is it, now?… computers, so I do not ever get advertisements for Viagra or cures for prostate cancer, neither of which would be of any use to me. [...]

How much food do you have and where should you be putting your money today?
I have been looking at the food system at http://www.pleasanthillgrain.com/foodpak1.aspx. Now, I understand that most of us don’t really [...]
Testing, Testing, Testing

INTRODUCTION
Given the response to my probability post, let me pursue another topic which has received some notoriety over the past few years due to a considerable amount of corruption and misinformation. I’m sure most of us have heard the phrase “The teacher is teaching the test.” and/or “70% is a ‘C’, and 60% [...]
RACISM What’s The Score?
Wednesday, July 21st, 2010Author Tony De Maio
I have watched with some amusement over the years at the attempted implementation of “Affirmative Action”, “Leveling the Playing Field”, “Equal Opportunity”, and other euphemisms for favoritism, discrimination, and preferential treatment. I guess it’s somewhat of a coincidence that all these attempts results in “pleasing” some privileged faction, obtaining votes for various [...]
Peace Games
Wednesday, July 21st, 2010Author James The Wanderer
The 1983 movie _War Games_ has a sentient computer put in charge (actually, it gains control) of all American nuclear weapons. The computer “games” all the possible outcomes of thermonuclear war, whether the Americans attack first, the Russians attack first, the Russians attack the Chinese who then attack America, and so on; [...]
NAACP Calling the TEA PARTY Racist
Wednesday, July 14th, 2010Author Mike Rough
The NAACP during its 101’st annual convention has passed a resolution condemning racism in the Tea Party movement. This statement alone is an indicator of just how far out of touch the NAACP is in it’s antiquated thinking and reactionary tactics.
“We take no issue with the Tea Party. We believe in freedom of [...]
