More Proof of "Profits Before Lives"

Here is more evidence that Big Business & Government care nothing for you. Read for yourself what is being handed to Big Business in the form of "Eminent-Domain Powers" so that they can take your property for the purpose of putting down power lines and pipes for oil and gas. Pay close attention to what they will be allowed to put into the air that you and your family breathe and the water that you and your family drink. Get a copy of this "Energy Bill" from the member of Congress representing your district. Unless you are a sheep or someone making huge profits from "energy companies," I think it will disgust you as it does me.

How Long Are We Going To Take The Lies?

How Long Are We Going To Take The Lies

“We will simply never be able to get the amount of debris shed by the tank down to zero.” Griffin said on the “Today” show Thursday. “We are trying to get it down to a level that cannot damage the orbiter.” quoted from http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8736011/

THIS IS BULL. The technology already exists that would make it possible to put a shuttle into orbit and bring it back into the atmosphere without ANY debris being shed from the fuel tanks or other parts of the shuttle. The issue is MONEY. It has ALWAYS BEEN MONEY. MONEY versus LIFE. Which is more important to NASA? The answer is obvious. MONEY. I am literally sickened by the words and behavior coming from the agency. You should be too. Demand a change in the value system that exists within the agency and all of government and big business. Tell them that lives matter more than profits, and that until they get it straight, they no longer have our support.

NASA says sizable piece of foam flew off shuttle - Return to Flight - MSNBC.com

How stupid is this?

http://msnbc.msn.com/id/8720825/

This makes no sense to me. After all the tests that were done following the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster, we were given undeniable proof that these pieces of insulation could indeed cause serious damage to the shuttle when they tear away from the ship. So, what does NASA do? Does it change the insulation tile design? Does it stop the program until a new design can be created? No, it puts cameras on the ship to see what happens on the next launch. That's it, let's make the next crew guinnea pigs. People mean nothing to government and corporations. We are just "human resources" to be used up like oil and iron ore. I cannot believe that there is not a cry of outrage across the country because of what has been captured on tape.

Birth control patch linked to higher fatality rate - Women's Health - MSNBC.com

Use this link to put the rss feed from this blog on your site: http://passgo.blogspot.com/atom.xml

This is sad. But more than sad, this woman's death should not have happened. According to the article, both Ortho McNeil (the maker of the birth control patch used by the woman) and the FDA knew of problems related to using the patch. Despite the problems, the FDA approved the sale of the patch. What are the problems? Nothing minor - women using the patch have a 3 times greater risk of blod clots and stroke than those using birth control pills. It appears to me that our goverment is sending a message through its actions. This message is becoming clearer everyday. Your life is not worth as much as the profit that can be made.

Is it not time for us to stand up and tell this government, just as in the 1976 movie, "Network," "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore"? I think it is.

Bush on Rove's leash

Use this link to put the rss feed from this blog on your site: http://passgo.blogspot.com/atom.xml

Can You Say, "Puppet"?

Bush Won't Comment on Rove During Probe - Yahoo! News

Bush is now dragging his heals after promising to remove the person responsible for the Valerie Plame outing. Are we surprised? Like his father, he says whatever is politically correct at the time. Rove has given reporters his permission for them to name him as the source of their stories, but apparently that means nothing to Bush. The President is looking more and more like a puppet than a head of state.
