Bird Flu Basics
My wife and I have had a few discussions of late about the avian flu. With the recent genome mapping of the 1918 flu showing that it was an avian flu, and news of more birds being found with it, this has been a big topic in the media. Google’s blog has a great primer [...]
Why I’m Glad We Have Private Health Care
Calls continue every day, from people who don’t know any better, to nationalize America’s health care system. They believe, wrongly, that health care could be provided better and cheaper if it was freely available to all, and paid for through taxes.

Recently, I linked to images from the top hospital in Cuba. Now, we have this article about health care in Canada. ” A letter [...]
Judge Refuses to Insert Terri Schiavo’s Feeding Tube
Fox News is reporting that Judge James Whitmore of the US District Court has refused to have Terri Schiavo’s feeding tube reinserted pending the upcoming court case. Whittemore is a Clinton appointee. An important point to understand here is that the feeding tube need not be inserted. The feeding tube isn’t what is being refused [...]
Starving the Dog – Starving the Wife
If I decided to withhold food and water from my dog, and the government found out, I would be hauled away in handcuffs and charges would be filed. Michael Schiavo decides to do the same for his wife, and not even the animal rights activists will stand up for her, much less the judge in [...]
Terri Schiavo Story Far From Over

On hearing the news that she was to be killed, Terri cried out. Barbara Weller told Terri, “Just say you want to live.” To this, Terri yelled, “IIIIIII WAAAAAAAA” loud enough [...]
