When I read this week about Rom Houben I was saddened and angered because of what we did to Terri Shiavo. Who is Rom Houben and Terri Shiavo?
First Rom Houben. After a near fatal car crash he laid in a coma for 23 years, or so his doctors thought. In reality he was completely paralyzed yet completely awake. Let me say that again; his body was paralyzed, he couldn't move a muscle, not any muscle. Not a finger, not an eye lid, nothing. And at the same time he was completely conscious. He could hear all that was going on around him. When they opened his eye lids to examine him he could see all that was in front of him. Most horrid of all, he could think and speak to himself the whole time and was screaming to the doctors, nurses and visitors that he is awake! But no sounds came out. Click here to read one of the many news stories.
Now to Terri Shiavo. Terri collapsed in her home in February of 1990 and the result of her trauma was that she was left in what the doctors called a persistent vegetative state (PVS). After a short time her husband began the legal process of having her removed from "life support". In reality the machines that she was connected to helped her, but they were not required. Honestly without them there was a good chance complications could result and she could die, so they were used to avoid that. However, at the same time Terri's parents argued that based on observations they felt Terri was mentally conscious. Her parents opposed Terri's husband as he went through the various court proceedings to first have a do not resuscitate (DNR) order approved, have her removed from so-called life support (which was later rescinded) and finally, get this, have her feeding tube removed.
Terri's husband was her custodian and in charge of her care. Because Terri didn't have a living will there was nothing her parents could do without extraordinary actions by the courts. Terri's parents offered to take custody and to care for her, but her husband refused the offers.
So, after 7 years of legal battles our courts, aided by our culture of death, allowed the hospital to remove her feeding tube and in effect induce death through prolonged starvation and dehydration. Her death sentence took about 2 weeks to carry out.
Imagine IF she was in the same condition as Rom Houben? Watch this short video and look at the state Terri was in. Was she really brain dead? From what see she is in better shape than Mr. Houben!

The New Scientific Method: Remove The Data That Doesn't Support My Theories
And this comes on the heels of yesterday's article about the global warming god, um..ahh...errr, I mean "climate change" god Al "jaba the" Gore. He's so smart! I should just shut up and stop pointing out inconsistencies.
Well, today the internet is abuzz after a major global-warming advocacy center in the UK had its e-mail system hacked and the data published on line. Yes, uh-oh. Here are some quotes from those emails, but first I have to repeat myself YET AGAIN! Isn't the role of the scientist supposed be that they follow the data no matter where it leads? Scientists come up with a theory and then apply data (observations of reality) to either prove or disprove the theory. But that is no longer being done in regards to the lie of global warming, or evolution for that matter. Rather we have scientists who so buy into their theories that the reject any data that opposes it. THAT IS NOT SCIENCE!
A couple of quotes from the emails (emphasis is mine):
Nature trick? Hide the decline?
Pesky data. Making us have to explain those "blips". Sheeesh!

A couple of quotes from the emails (emphasis is mine):
Subject: Diagram for WMO Statement
Once Tim’s got a diagram here we’ll send that either later today or first thing tomorrow. I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) and from1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline. Mike’s series got the annual land and marine values while the other two got April-Sept for NH land N of 20N.
Nature trick? Hide the decline?
Subject: 1940s
Here are some speculations on correcting SSTs to partly explain the 1940s warming blip. If you look at the attached plot you will see that theland also shows the 1940s blip (as I’m sure you know). So, if we could reduce the ocean blip by, say, 0.15 degC, then this would be significant for the global mean – but we’d still have to explain the land blip. I’ve chosen 0.15 here deliberately. This still leaves an ocean blip, and i think one needs to have some form of ocean blip to explain the land blip (via either some common forcing, or ocean forcing land, or vice versa, or all of these). When you look at other blips, the land blips are 1.5 to 2 times (roughly) the ocean blips—higher sensitivity plus thermal inertia effects. My 0.15 adjustment leaves things consistent with this, so you can see where I am coming from. Removing ENSO does not affect this.It would be good to remove at least part of the 1940s blip, but we are still left with “why the blip”.
Pesky data. Making us have to explain those "blips". Sheeesh!

The Earth Is About To Melt
Can you believe that this cotton headed ninny muggins is about to become a billionaire off of this hoax!
Geothermal energy is relatively new?! Relative to what, the invention of the wheel? The world's first geothermal heating system dates back to the 14th century and America's commercial use of geothermal generated electricity dates back to 1827.
Comedy gold: [picture me doing an Al Gore impersonation when you read this] "The interior of the earth is extremely hot, several million degrees.." What a complete nincompoop. No science has ever stated that. Scientists estimate the very center of the earth to be about 10,000 degrees fahrenheit...TOPS. The core of the SUN is several million degrees.
And did you catch that...he sneaked in there "...and the surface of the earth is hot". Yes, just burning up! Must be because the multi-million degree core of the earth is melting us from the inside. Birdbrain.
Just watch him. Do you really think this guy believes all the crap he's feeding us?

The Creator
Ok, this one is a bit tongue and cheek, but I couldn't resist.
Below is a new ad for Guinness [beer]. It's kind of neat, but after watching it I thought to myself, hmmm even Guinness knows you can't "create" without a creator. Or in this case creators.

Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death!
The title of this article are the words famously stated by Patrick Henry and which is the motto of New Hampshire to this very day. Twenty years ago today the berlin wall finally fell. I posted a short video below that shows you the celebration of freedom and how dearly it is loved by all people everywhere! Watch it and then continue reading.
The fall of the Berlin wall was the culmination of years of cold war which pitted democracy against Marxist socialism. It was in a speech two years before the fall of the wall given by President Ronald Reagan where he demanded "Mr. Gorbachev tear down this wall!" No matter what side of history you are on, everyone knew that if Communism is such a benefit to its people, why do you have to force people to participate in it? The answer: Statism always requires force, and it always strips people of liberty. It always comes with handcuffs and prison camps and, yes, even murder when needed.
Now switch gears to this past weekends successful vote in the House .
What are we becomming?

Psychics - What's The Harm? It's All Just For Fun
I read this article Crystal Ball Boom:Psychics, Tarot Card Readers Profit in Tough Economy
Where do I start? It saddens me. I find it sad that people purposefully turn away from God and look to these people for help and guidance. I don't get it. He's the One who spoke into the chaos and gave it order. And it was good! He longs for us to trust Him. He knows best. Believe me I know this first hand. Just ask me sometime.
Additionally, no Christian should ever, EVER seek out someone like this:
"You shall have no other gods before me." Exodus 20:3
"Don't dabble in the occult or traffic with mediums; you'll pollute your souls. I am God, your God." Leviticus 19:31
"I will also turn against those who commit spiritual prostitution by putting their trust in mediums or in those who consult the spirits of the dead. I will cut them off from the community." Leviticus 20:6
"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves." Matthew 7:15
Fortune-tellers, tarot card readers and psychics are reporting an uptick in business during the current economic downturn as people look for guidance, employment advice and a window into their personal economic future.

Halloween. Obama Style
This idea isn't originally mine, but I have vastly improved on the idea. Kinda like BASF.
I wish I thought of posting this before Halloween, but I will try and remember this for next year...unless net neutrality is in place. In that case, the government will have shut down my blog by then.
After your children return from trick or treating have them dump out their candy on a table or counter top in front of them:
1. Look to see if one of your children has more candy than the other child(ren). If this is the case take from the ones who have more and give it to the ones who have less. Explain to them that this is known as redistribution of wealth, oops I mean "candy", and it is better for everyone.
Note 1: The one with the most "candy" will probably complain. To overcome this explain to them sometimes change isn't easy. If they still complain simply point at them and in a loud voice yell "RACIST!"...No I mean call them a big fat meanie.
Note 2: The following Halloween it will not be unusual if one or more of your kids figure out it would be better if they just stay home and not go trick or treating at all. After all they will benefit off of their siblings who do go out and work..ah err....I mean "trick or treat" for it.
2. After the wealth, darn it! I mean the "candy" (sorry), is redistributed take 40% from the one who originally had the most and 20% from the other child(ren). If one of the children did not go trick or treating, do not take away anything, but rather give them 10% more from the 40%/20% you took, I mean "collected" from the other children. Explain to them that this is how fair taxation works.
Note 3: Most of the kids will not like this, especially the ones that did work..[pause]..I mean go out and trick or treat for it. If this happens simply stop talking to them and every time they complain punish them by taking away freedoms... ha, did I say freedoms? No, I meant "privileges".
Note 4: The child that did not go out and "trick or treat" and benefited from the work of the others will develop an undying devotion to you. They will worship you and sing songs about you. You can use them to stifle and intimidate the other citizens.....ummmm I mean "children".
3. Take the remaining wealth (darn it I did it again), I mean "candy" and use it for yourself as you see fit, but not in a way that your children benefit from. But rather in a way that will hurt them in the long run all in the name of "fairness".
Yes we can.

Change The Culture, Change Everthing
When I started to read this article titled Italy, Vatican In Uproar Over Crucifix Ruling, I thought how odd. There is no way you can remove the displaying of the crucifix from Italian culture. What idiotic court made that ruling and why? Then I read this in the article:
Never one to give up the fight, I say do whatever you can to fight this for as long as possible. But in reality, the end is near; the European cultures have one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel. And America, you're next. Watch the below video and it will explain it all. It starts a little slow, but stick with it; it is eye opening.
The ruling by the court in Strasbourg said crucifixes on school walls could disturb children who were not Christians. Italy has been in the throes of national debate on how to deal with a growing population of immigrants, mostly Muslims.

Updated: The Guilt Of An (Ex) Abortionist
Read this article: Planned Parenthood Director Leaves, Has Change of Heart and be sure to watch the accompanying video as well.
While I think this woman's decision is the right one and I am very thankful for it, the report leaves me wanting more. From what I understand, the straw that broke the camels back was based on her not liking the new "business model" of Planned Parenthood. Because of the economic downturn, Planned Parenthood executives were de-emphasizing pregnancy prevention to one that encouraged abortion. I personally do not think that their business model was anything other than a "cha-ching" abortion mill, buuuuut that's just me.
Honestly I would have preferred it if her change of heart was in fact caused because she finally couldn't take being part of such a monstrous act, realizing that abortion was abhorrent and sinful. She did say that she felt like all of the guilt is gone, so she must have felt guilty over something. Was it the practice of abortion alone or the emphasis on the new business model? But I won't complain about what did it for her, I will celebrate the fact she saw the light.
One last observation; what was Planned Parenthood's reaction to this? They are suing her and issuing a restraining order! Something having to do with client confidentiality. Whatever.
UPDATE: Here is a better article that puts the decision in a more understandable light.
