I don't want to play crackpot conspiracy theorist here, but isn't it a little alarming how many cases of poisoning turning up with our food products lately? Look at the CDC report on this recent outbreak in peanut butter. PEANUT BUTTER! If terrorists are looking for effective ways to dismantle this country they do not need to hit high profile targets, all they have to do is watch the news. The most disturbing aspect of this is how easy it is to distribute a toxin/germ/etc to the whole population. Take a good look at the map that shows the areas affected by this peanut butter outbreak. This is becoming very unnerving, folks.

When will the "free" mainstream press start researching and revealing which companies (such as Halliburton) are making a profit from the services and sales to the US government towards the Iraq war "effort"? When will the press reveal who the key figures behind these companies are?

Select which of the following you know:

a) Hundreds of people have died, and over 300,000 have been left homeless in floods in southeast Africa this week.
b) Anna Nichole Smith died.

I know you'll choose A, because thats the priorities of our country. Patriotism to the blonde girl with pretty boobs. However, ask any one of those Mozambicans left homeless, who have never had access to the internet, and they will tell you all about New Orleans. They will tell you they went to church to pray when it happened. I was there, I was overwhelmed at how concerned people were and how much they talked about it everywhere. And yet, Anna Nichole Smith still makes the headlines, and you haven't herd a word about the floods in Mozambique. She must be such a better person than those nameless ones who have died this week, right?

Noelle Bush, daughter of Jeb Bush, niece to George Bush, was found in possession of a rock of crack cocaine...while in drug rehabilitation.

She was sentenced to 10 days in jail.

The average sentence for crack possession in the US? 120 months (United States Sentencing Commission, 1999 Sourcebook of Federal Sentencing Statistics)

So, if you still think there isn't a royalty in the USA, think again.

Iraq could cause as many as 1 million Iraqis to flee their homes this year, the world's migration body said Friday.

The media wants the government and everyone else to be 'transparent', but they won't tell us who they are getting their copy from. (Fox and CBS were willing, and did so; why not the other big Networks? What are they trying to hide?).

Or is it one more ploy by the anti-smoking brigade? I am a non smoker but I believe they are going to far with the banning measures.

America is the world biggest hypocrite. Today we are the terrorist. We have always been the terrorist. We do not seek jutice or fairness. For heavens sake our economy is built on the blood of innocents. How can we justify al our horrific deeds. And how can we justify lying to our ownselves and denying to accept the truth.

For me it seems everyday is different. I work as a technician on a mine site in the desert country of Western Australia which is an hour flight from Perth. The roster is 7 days on the mine site and 7 days back home in Perth for a rest. Yesterday a lighting strike hit the overhead lines that supplied the villiage which accommodate arround 1200 people for the mine. There is now no power in the villiage for the last 2 days with temperatures during the day at 47C. On top of all that when the water was off I opened the tap for my shower and when the water supply resumed the tap was still on flooding my room. At 47C you can immagine my room has become a sauna.

This article annoyed me so much.

Apparantly a study has been done on which enthic group makes more progress during school from the age of 11 to 16. I think it was non-British born Indians, Chinese and I can't remember the other one, are making better progress than British born people. Therefore they named the article 'Thick Whites'!

Now if it turned out that, just for example, it was Indian people that made the least progress. They wouldn't call the article 'Thick Indians' would they, because that would be racist!

I'm not really bothered about being called a thick white because I am not thick and I am proud to be white, but its just the principle of it. There would be huge rows and complaints if it wasn't the white people being slated!

Does anyone else think this is rude?!
