Comment on Cyberbullying: A Rundown of Cyberbullying Laws by Tom Jacobs

Tom Jacobs — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 22:49:17 +0000

Please be advised of this month’s publication of “Teen Cyberbullying Investigated” by Free Spirit Publishing in Minneapolis. This is the first book written for teens to read along with their parents, teachers and others. It presents real cases of kids in trouble at home, school and with the law over their online and cell phone activities. As Mary Beth Tinker [Tinker v. Des Moines School District (1969)] states, “Every teen who has a cell phone or goes online should read this book. It’s as suspenseful as Harry Potter and as scary as Twilight, but these stories are real.”
Thanks for looking.

Comment on Lawsuit Over Hormone Drug Forces Wyeth and Pfizer to Pay by jeffrey dach md

Synthetic Hormones, Pfizer-Wyeth Lose Big Court Case

A 112 million dollar punitive award indicates outrage at the “wanton and reckless” conduct by Wyeth for pushing a cancer causing pill. This is the tip of the iceberg, as another ten thousand cases are waiting for their day in court.

Seven years ago, the 2002 WHI study revealed that PremPro causes breast cancer, and millions of women shifted away from synthetic Prempro. The result of this flight from Prempro was a dramatic decline in breast cancer rates, and a shift to the safety and efficay of bioidentical hormones..

WAKE UP AMERICA!

The lobbyists for the open border, the church, business consortium’s are deviously careful not to mention E-Verify, that discrepancies can be resolved at the Social Security agencies? Nor do they inform of the success rate of E-Verify, the fed immigration tool identifying illegal labor. These entities were nearly successful through the intervening Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV), with support from majority speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to crush the computer verification program. Unfortunately, E-Verify may become obsolete if they pass Comprehensive Immigration Reform, that will legitimize 20 to 30 million illegal immigrants? Plus it’s being kept in the dark, that millions more will pour across our undermanned border, or from across the world, once they get the word that AMNESTY is about to commence?

We will be donating taxpayers dollars to support the poorest of families, with little or no education. Taxpayer will be paying for the old and sick person, mentally handicapped and those who need surgery who reaches American soil. It will be the–SAME– nightmare as the1986 immigration bill (IRCA) all over again, when 3 million materialized into 5.3 million and those working in agriculture disappeared, to enter the mainstream of US working class. Unless we put a stop to another BLANKET AMNESTY now–the impoverished, the criminals will keep coming–forever. Grade your policy makers at NUMBERSUSA? Read about Capitol corruption at JUDICIAL WATCH, ALIPAC, CAPSWEB, AMERICAN PATROL & THE DARK SIDE OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. What can you do for AMERICA?

Comment on Divorce Alimony Reform: A Necessary Evil? by Peter

Peter — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 20:54:24 +0000

Why are the homemaker spouse’s efforts during the marriage a “sacrifice”, one which must be paid both during the marrige and afterward, whereas the breadwinner spouse’s efforts are a “duty” and “obligation”?

Is busting ones rear in a farm, factory, or at best a soul destroying office job for years on end, missing out on the tender moments of one’s growing children, not a “sacrifice” too?

How come the soon the ex homemaker spouse doesn’t owe any backpayments herself for the “sacrifices” that the breadwinner spouse made? Shouldn’t she be making some back payments / compensations herself, providing some homemaker services to her ex after the divorce?

Essentially, why is alimony one-way?

Comment on Senate Finance Committee OK’s Health Care Reform Bill by Tom Degan

Tom Degan — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 12:19:38 +0000

My younger brother Jeff is the shame of the Degan family. He not only lives in France, he actually likes it there. He has a French wife and two gorgeous little French daughters. Honestly I think the guy is a closet commie. Back in August, in a letter to his fellow countrymen and women regarding health care – or “Hell Care” as he called it (What a card!) – he ended it by saying:

“In short, in the US, you pay more, get less, and die younger than we do in Europe. What part of that don’t you understand?”

Well, hey there! That’s a danged good question! What part of that don’t we understand? Why is it that so many of us have to be dragged, kicking and screaming like half-witted little preschoolers, into the brave new world of change? What the hell is the matter with us anyway? How can it be that such a huge number of Americans cheerfully join movements of mass stupidity and salivate on cue to the sound of Dr. Glenn “Pavlov” Beck’s bell? It kind of makes you wonder, huh?

Comment on Personal Data, an Email Error & Security Breach Notification Laws by cb on bonanzle

cb on bonanzle — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 09:29:14 +0000

This just blows my mind. I’m sorry, but Rocky Mountain Bank was in the wrong here. Totally in the wrong. They should have reprimanded their employee instead. I would have to question as to WHY did the employee have to email ANYONE a list of sensitive information? Do people NOT know or realize that emailing from one address to another is NOT safe or confidential as we are lead to believe. Emails can be intercepted along the route by hackers and those who use script programs to spy on mail servers and such.

I sincerely hope that Rocky Mountain Bank customers have heard about this story and hope that they close their accounts at Rocky Mountain Bank PRONTO and find another bank to do business at. Rocky Mountain Bank needs to take responsibility of their own f**k up instead of blaming someone else or trying to pretend that a criminal phantom exists when it doesn’t.

Just who the hell does Rocky Mountain Bank think they are to take away someone’s right to have an email account? Corporations like them seriously disgust me. I hope that whoever the person is that had their email account taken away, I hope that person sues the living sh** out of Rocky Mountain Bank AND Google.

Comment on What is Single Payer Health Care? by Chris

Chris — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 19:57:56 +0000

This is technically incorrect. The UK’s National Health Service is a government agency that provides comprehensive health care in hospital, clinics, and doctor’s offices. It is not “single-payer” but actual “socialized” (meaning government operated) healthcare. Private insurance is available in the UK for supplemental care and care outside the NHS which some, mostly wealthier people, opt for. Private doctors refer patients to the public hospitals for most specialized care.
Canada’s Medicare is a single-payer plan which means that health insurance is socialized . Doctor’s work on a private basis (though most hospitals and clinics are government managed) and their trade associations negotiate with provincial governments on service fees that are reimbursed through Medicare.
