Will Mount Rushmore Revert to an Indigenous Tribe?

May 12th, 2012

Venezuela Has Become a Place of Great Change but Little Hope

May 8th, 2012

By Dan Miller El Presidente Chávez is probably dying and Fidel Castro has warned about blood (not Chávez’ blood) in the streets. He may well be right, for the wrong reasons. Venezuela became a mess, gradually, after el Presidente Chávez took over the government in 1999. Change came slowly for a few years but eventually [...]

We Continue To Be Deprived of Our Most Sacred Human Rights

May 3rd, 2012

By Dan Miller Even the most essential of our human rights are being withheld by “our” government. Unless we fix the problems ourselves soon, the U.N.

Darwinism Is Needed

April 6th, 2012

By Dan Miller We need social Darwinism. Without it, we are likely to become extinct like the do-do bird.

An Angry President May Have Ways to Tame a Disobedient Supreme Court

April 4th, 2012

By Dan Miller None are no good ways and with only one exception none appear to have been attempted. Still, we do live in very interesting times.

The March 16th Executive Order Can Be Hazardous to Our Health
