Cage-free eggs is the way to go

Poor, misguided soul.

Another letter to the editor about "cage free chickens"

let me just say this,

"THEY'RE CHICKENS!"

That is all.

---------------------------------

I support the cage-free egg program at the University of Iowa. As a UI student who lives in the residence halls, I feel that by having these eggs we are supporting the community and a healthier lifestyle as well as enabling people from various dietary backgrounds to enjoy the campus dinning.
I have meet many students in the dorms who follow strict dietary guidelines, many which prohibit consumption of genetically processed or cruelly treated food. These students have been suffering in the dinning halls because they feel they cannot eat there, yet the university makes them buy a meal plan. The program has opened their eating possibilities. I also encourage this program for the support it gives to the local community.
By having such a large, Big Ten school support such a program, we are directly encouraging other large schools across the nation to do the same.

A letter in the Iowa City Pres Citizen today

Clinic celebrates BLT Night:

This June marks the 15th anniversary of BLT Night by the Emma Goldman Clinic. It is an evening where as a community non-profit, we provide free health care to the bisexual, lesbian and transgendered women's community, hence, BLT.
From 4 to 8 p.m. June 15, those in the BLT communities will receive free gynecology exams, including a pap and breast exam, sexuality transmitted testing and treatment, HIV testing and referral and health information in a festive and non-judgmental atmosphere.
There are many communities in our area that lack access to health care. The BLT communities are among them. Barriers include no access to health insurance and other financial barriers. Sometimes health care practitioners who are unfamiliar with the needs of BLT individuals may be perceived as being judgmental or disrespectful in their delivery of health care services. Some in the BLT community may have the misconception that it is not necessary to receive preventive reproductive services because of who they engaged with sexually. Our goal is to break down these barriers by providing a free, high quality, safe and respectful experience to the BLT communities.
This winter, the Emma Goldman Clinic offered an African American Women's Health Day. This summer we will be working with Proteus and the UI Mobile Clinic to help provide reproductive health care to migrant camp workers. It is part of our service to the community to be involved with such projects and is part of the $212,200 in services that we subsidized last year as our commitment to increasing financial access to reproductive health care services in our community.
The Emma Goldman Clinic is proud to offer BLT Night. If you are a member of the BLT community and would like to make an appointment, please call us at 337-2112 or 800-848-7684 and check us out on the web at www.emmagoldman.com.

Fault lies with human, not divine

From a letter to the editor in the Des Moines Register today.

My response follows letter

------------------------

I was pleased to read that Pope Benedict XVI visited the former Auschwitz concentration camp as “a son of the German people.” The picture in the May 29 Register shows the pope walking alone into the camp, while those who accompanied him wait a respectful distance behind. It was a poignant view of a German pope walking respectfully into a camp that witnessed unspeakable acts of horror during World War II.I was disappointed at the pope’s question addressed to God: “Why, Lord, did you remain silent? How could you tolerate all this?” Benedict XVI should have addressed his question to all German, Polish and other Christians who did next to nothing to stop the reign of terror unleashed on the Jews and other people Hitler and his followers butchered.Those who did nothing are the ones to ask, “Why did you, in the name of Jesus, fail to stop the evil that was all around you? Why did the United States fail to intervene when we knew what was going on?”To suggest that God was silent is to miss the point. People, many of whom would have claimed to be Christians — Catholics and Protestants — failed to stop the slaughter. Why? — The Rev. Russell Melby, Ames.

-------------------------

Well, I can't say that I disagree with the good Reverend Russell here.

Again, it goes back to not wanting to get involved, every time we do, the whole world hates us, anytime we don't, the whole world hates us. (except for maybe WWII)

For insatnce the genocide going on in Darfur right now, everybody wants to know how come we aren't stopping it, but the second we go in there it will be, we're after the oil, or diamonds, or whatever the hell they have there.

You know, I recieved an e-mail awhile back about how we should just pull out of everything and everywhere and let the rest of the world fend for themselves, except for England. We will no longer help anybody else with anything. Why should we, all we do is get chastised for it. The next time a third world country gets invaded by Iraq, Iran, or whomever...tough bananas,fight it out yourselves....earthquake, flood, volcano...tough cookies....have at it. We're done pullin' everybody's butts out of the fire.

Where will this all end?

This is from a letter to the editor in the Iowa City Press Citizen, my response is after the letter, and rest assured my response has been sent to said paper.

--------------------------------------

Without a doubt we live in disturbing times. Spurred by very little resistance we entered a war which our recent history (Vietnam) should have prevented us from doing. In addition, our government has phenomonally created a humongous national debt and more billionaires simultaneously. Our middle class population is sliding downward into a credit-card illusion of wealth, our government holds non-charitable attitudes towards the disenfranchised.
Indeed, the Katrina revelation has shaken the bones of a nation which prides itself on rescuing those in need. However, though the unabashed wire tapping comes close, nothing is as frightening to me as the private combat training schools which are rapidly emerging across the nation. ("Minutemen to start on Security fence in Ariz.," May 28.)
When people take up arms (minutemen) and the government allows young civilians who've been nurtured on video game violence to unabashedly learn killing techniques in a "shoothouse" setting, we are in great trouble as a nation. Who knows how long consumerism will hold back the tide of the great divisions now taking place? I shutter to think of the possible repercussions of this killing industry which uses "a fake house, convenience store and bar room" as the settings to learn killing tactics.

Corinne StanleyIowa City

-------------------------------------

Oh Corinne,

a war we enetered with very little resistance? How about seventeen U.N. resolutions over twelve years? Not United Sates resolutions, United Nations resolutions.

Issue number one, you lose.

Our government created billionaires? I know, lets call Bill Gates, Steve Forbes, the Walton family (no not the T V show people, the Wal-mart people) and see just exactly how the government created them.

In fact, if I remeber correctly, the feds tried to get Bill Gates for having an unfair monopoly. So by your logic, they built Microsoft up, just to tear it down, although I wouldn't put something like that past the feds, I'm pretty sure that's not what happened.

Issue number two, you lose.

A credit card illusion of wealth? Damn those feds making people use those credit cards. I know one time I was at this Wal-mart the federal government created, and I was trying to pay cash, and this treasury agent appeared out of nowhere and made me use my credit card.

Issue number three, you lose.

The Katrina "revelation" and just what was that....that the corrupt local government down there created a welfare state that conditioned some people to sit on their *sses and wait for help? Let me tell you something, I WAS THERE , that's right, I went down there with my company and we were helping to rebuild the phone network (I work for a large cell phone company in Kansas City) and ninety percent of the people I talked to were helping themselves, it's just that the ultra left news media only reported on the people that wouldn't help themselves, and blamed it on Bush.

Issue number four, you lose.

Unabashed wire tapping?

Collecting data of what numbers were calling what numbers is unabashed wire tapping? Not only that, we haven't been attacked again in almost five years now. Specifically because of measueres like"unabashed wire tapping"

Issue number five, you lose.

"When people take up arms" (minutemen)

Wow, lets go ahead and have a little history lesson shall we? Without the Minutemen doing what they did during the revolution, you may not have been able to write a letter like you have just written.

It's our basic RIGHT to defend our country, property and our border in any way we have to. The same thing may end up being true in this case, if we don't defend what's ours.

Issue number six, you just lost.

Basically Corrine, you've lost every single issue, badly. Wich is about par for the course, the ultra left wing socialists have been wrong on the wrong side of every single issue thruout our history, look it up. The proof is in the pudding folks.

Minutemen Offer Widespread Blame for Inflow of Illegals

---------------------------------

Leah Yoon, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security's Customs and Border Patrol agency, said the Border Patrol has no qualms with the intentions of Americans who want border security, but is concerned that volunteer efforts at the border could do more harm than good.
"Securing the border is a dangerous task meant for highly trained law enforcement agents — Border Patrol — who are equipped to perform official duties of federal law enforcement officials. Well-intentioned individuals in an unforgiving terrain mixed with a volatile border environment can become counter productive to securing our nation's borders," Yoon's agency offered in a written statement.

Good God, can we go ahead and side step, and cut down a good thing the minutemen are tying to do here?

Okay Miss Yoon, then why doesn't your agency DO SOMETHING about it....like getting Bush off his fanny about this...I know, I know we're sending some National Guard guys down there to go play soldier for a couple years....(nothing against the guard) but come on, they need more authority than we're giving them...like I don't know, shoot to kill, that'd cut it off real quick, wouldn't it now?

Death penalty for second offense child molesters

South Carolina just became my second favorite state.

If you don't want to read this (wich I don't blame you) it basically says second offense child molesters can get the death penalty.

It is current legislation, not a law yet...but this is a step in the right direction!

GO GAMECOCKS!

C)(1) A person convicted of a violation of subsection (A)(1) is guilty of a felony and, upon conviction, must be imprisoned for a mandatory minimum of twenty-five years, no part of which may be suspended or probation granted, or must be imprisoned for life. In the case of a person pleading guilty or nolo contendre to a violation of subsection (A)(1), the judge must make a specific finding on the record regarding whether the type of conduct that constituted the sexual battery involved sexual or anal intercourse by a person or intrusion by an object. In the case of a person convicted at trial for of a violation of subsection (A)(1), the judge or jury, whichever is applicable, must designate as part of the verdict whether the conduct that constituted the sexual battery involved sexual or anal intercourse by a person or intrusion by an object. If the person has previously been convicted of, pled guilty or nolo contendre to, or adjudicated delinquent for first degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor who is less than eleven years of age or a federal or out-of-state offense that would constitute first degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor who is less than eleven years of age, he must be punished by death or by imprisonment for life, as provided by this section. For the purpose of determining a prior conviction under this subsection, the person must have been convicted of, pled guilty or nolo contendre to, or adjudicated delinquent on a separate occasion, prior to the instant adjudication, for first degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor who is less than eleven years of age or a federal or out-of-state offense that would constitute first degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor who is less than eleven years of age. In order to be eligible for the death penalty pursuant to this section, the sexual battery constituting the current offense and any prior offense must have involved sexual or anal intercourse by a person or intrusion by an object. If any prior offense that would make a person eligible for the death penalty pursuant to this section occurred prior to the effective date of this act and no specific finding was made regarding the nature of the conduct or is an out-of-state or federal conviction, the determination of whether the sexual battery constituting the prior offense involved sexual or anal intercourse by a person or intrusion by an object must be made in the separate sentencing proceeding provided by this section and proven beyond a reasonable doubt and designated in writing by the judge or jury, whichever is applicable. If the judge or jury, whichever is applicable, does not find that the prior offense involved sexual or anal intercourse by a person or intrusion by an object, then the person must be sentenced to imprisonment for life. For purposes of this subsection, imprisonment for life means imprisonment until death.

REVISED PREAMBLE TO THE CONSTITUTION

"We the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help everyoneget along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid more riots, keep ournation safe, promote positive behavior, and secure the blessings ofdebt-free liberty to ourselves and our great-great-great-grandchildren,hereby try one more time to ordain and establish some common senseguidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt ridden, delusional, and otherliberal bed-wetters. We hold these truths to be self evident: that a wholelot of people are confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim theyrequire a Bill of NON-Rights."

--------------------

ARTICLE I: You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV, or anyother form of wealth. More power to you if you can legally acquire them, butno one is guaranteeing anything.

------------------------

ARTICLE II: You do not have the right to never be offended. This country isbased on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone -- not just you! Youmay leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion, etc; butthe world is full of idiots, and probably always will be.

-----------------------

ARTICLE III: You do not have the right to be free from harm. If you stick ascrewdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful, do not expect the toolmanufacturer to make you and all your relatives independently wealthy.

---------------------------

ARTICLE IV: You do not have the right to free food and housing. Americansare the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly help anyone inneed, but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing generation aftergeneration of professional couch potatoes who achieve nothing more than thecreation of another generation of professional couch potatoes. (This one ismy pet peeve...get an education and go to work....don't expect everyone else to take care of you!)

------------------

ARTICLE V: You do not have the right to free health care. That would be nice, but from the looks of public housing, we're just not interested in public health care.

------------------

ARTICLE VI: You do not have the right to physically harm other people. If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim, or kill someone, you do not have the right to live, you will fry in the electric chair. (Personally, I favor public hanging on pay per view and putting the money towards the national debt.)

--------------------

ARTICLE VII: You do not have the right to the possessions of others. If yourob, cheat, or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens, don't besurprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a place whereyou still won't have the right to a big screen color TV or a life of leisure.

-------------------------

ARTICLE VIII: You do not have the right to a job. All of us sure want youto have a job, and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we expectyou to take advantage of the opportunities of education and vocationaltraining laid before you to make yourself useful. (AMEN!)

--------------------------

ARTICLE IX: You do not have the right to happiness. Being an American meansthat you have the right to PURSUE happiness, which by the way, is a loteasier if you are unencumbered by an over abundance of idiotic laws createdby those of you who were confused by the Bill of Rights.

-------------------------

ARTICLE X: This is an English speaking country. We don't care where you arefrom, English is our language. Learn it or go back to wherever you came from!

---------------------------

ARTICLE XI: You do not have the right to change our country's history or heritage. This country was founded on the belief in one true God. And yet,you are given the freedom to believe in any religion, any faith, or no faithat all; with no fear of persecution.The phrase "IN GOD WE TRUST" is part of our heritage and history, and if you are uncomfortable with it, TOUGH!!!!

And by the way, a handful of the major companies are the ones that turned the numbers over, for a small fee of course. The only one that didn't that was asked, was Qwest. So if you want to be mad about it, be mad about YOUR phone company turning over YOUR info to the gov't for money. Hope that clears up this confusion.

About damn time! Since our lovely federal government refuses to do anything, basically.

This guy should be "Captain of the Sheriffs" nation wide. This is the same guy that took cable away from the prisoners, the feds told him he had to keep it, so he said okay, I'll give 'em cable and allows nothing but the Disney channel and the History channel.

World Qualifiers!

This isn't really earth shattering or anything, but my softball team down here qualified for the World Tourney in St Louis, Mo in Sept. Pretty neat deal......we actually finished 2nd in our division, but the team that beat us for 1st, had already qualified, so we get the bid to go.

Unfortunetley, that's th same weeknd as the Iowa/Iowa St game, so you guys will have to miss that while in St Louis watching us. (heh heh)

------------------------------------------

We, the people, will have to bring these guys down:

First of all, all you have to do is look at this nimrods picture. That should tell you everything you need to know.

Having said that, I won't bore you with a point by point arguement on why this guy is wrong, not just completley wrong, but so far off base wrong he's already back in the dugout.

I will however go ahead and dispute this paragraph he wrote:

------------------------------------

"However, it should now be clear even to most Republicans that the war in Iraq is more than a mistake, more than a fiasco, more than a quagmire; the war in Iraq began as a criminal conspiracy hatched by PNAC and has now developed into a deluge of impeachable high crimes and reprehensible violations of international law."

----------------------------------------

Um.......okay so I guess if Algore would've won, you'd be wanting to impeach him too becuase he also stated Iraq had WMD's, as did Clinton, as did Kerry as did Great Britain, as did France, as did Russia.

Then there also was the little matter of Iraq breaking......are you ready for this Loren.......SEVENTEEN U N RESOLUTIONS, wich right then and there, after breaking the FIRST ONE gave us the authority to go in to Iraq, but we didn't. Okay, do you understand? Those weren't UNITED STATES resolutions, those were UNITED NATIONS resolutions...so just exactly how is it possible we broke international law you stupid ass?

NOW GO AWAY!!!

It is amazing what people will do to the facts.

Moussaoui Gets Last Chance to Speak Before Going to Jail

Guys, this is bad, bad, bad. He needed to get the death penalty....and here's why:

His life imprisonment sentence instead of the death penalty sends a message to the Islamic radicals, ie: Al Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbolah.....that America is weak and cannot do what must be done. Do you realize what would happen if they would somehow get Bush, or Rice or Cheney?

They'd be dragged thru the streets of every middle eastern city they could get to.

There was a former terrorist on the radio down here in K C awhile back, and he has even met with Bin Laden......he said,

"America, if you ever find Bin Laden, you take him back to New York City and hang him from the highest building you can find and put it on world wide T V. That is the only thing these people understand, is sure brute force and no mercy. If you did that, it would send a clear message to them, you are serious."

He also went on to say that, "Don't worry about turning him into a martyr, they would be so demoralized, they would collapse."

So there you have it guys.....straight from the horses mouth. Dare I say this was some liberal ass jury....pretty sure if this would've been in Texas, or somewheres like that.....this guy would not be passing go. (as in monopoly)

JOKE OF THE DAY:

Two Eskimos, a big one and a little one, go to their local Alaskan convent with a question. The big one nudges the little one and says, "Go ahead, knock on the door, knock on the door."
The Mother Superior answers the door. Again, the big Eskimo nudges the little one and says, "Go ahead, ask her the question, ask her the question."

The little Eskimo timidly says, "May we speak with the midget nun that lives here please?"

The Mother Superior answers, "There are no midget nuns living here."

The big Eskimo starts nudging the little one again and says, "Go ahead, ask her the other question, ask her the other question."

The little Eskimo asks in a quavering voice, "Well. Are there any midget nuns in Alaska?"

The Mother Superior responds uncertainly, "Why no, I don't believe so."

With this the big Eskimo falls down and rolls on the ground, clutching his belly as he laughs uncontrollably. "See", he says to the little Eskimo, "I told you that you *ucked a penguin!"

`Mexican immigration laws:

(After some back breaking research, okay maybe it wasn't back breaking...here are a few of the laws for specific types of pepole if you want to go to Mexico and take up a permanent residency:

Retirees:

If you are over 50 years of age, and want to engage in "non remunerative activities" and you are receiving funds from abroad (from a pension or other investments or fixed income) at least to the value of 400 times the daily minimum daily wage per month and a further 200 times daily minimum wage per month for each dependent (e.g. spouse, children) then you can apply for a Retiree Immigration Permit. Read more about retirement in Mexico on Mexperience

Investors:

You can receive an immigration permit if you are willing to invest your capital in Mexico. You investment can be directed at industry or services, and must equal a minimum of 40,000 times the minimum daily wage in Mexico City.

Professionals:

If you are a qualified professional, you can have your certificates validated by the Mexican Consulate and apply for an immigration permit to live in Mexico. You must be sponsored by a company who must satisfy the authorities that you are essential to their operative requirements.

Scientists & Technicians:

If you are involved in science, or are a qualified technician, whether commercially or for education, you can apply for an immigration permit in Mexico. You may need to be invited by one of the established scientific or technical organizations in Mexico.

Artists and Sportspeople:

These people can apply for an immigration permit. Each case is considered individually and entry is at the Interior Ministry's discretion.

Science Says Guys With Sex on the Brain Do Stupid Things:

Hmmmm...who would've thunk it? See, it's always the females fault! hee hee

--------------------------------------------

; )

NEW YORK — Finally, science has confirmed what voluptuous vixens have known all along — the sight of a sexy woman is all it takes to send a guy’s decision-making skills careening into the realm of insanity.
And the more testosterone the hapless dude has floating through his bloodstream, the worse the problem gets.
Bram van den Bergh and Siegfried Dewitte, the researchers at the University of Leuven in Belgium who proposed the sexy study, say their findings confirm that those most likely to be in a position of power are the most swayed by influences of the opposite sex, Mail and Guardian Online reports.
The pair gathered 44 student volunteers between the ages of 18 and 28 and had them participate in a financial game to test how they reacted to fair play. The students were split into pairs, and before half of the games, some were shown images of alluring ladies or lingerie. The research team found that the guys who took a gander at the libidinous ladies were more likely to accept unfair play than those whose eyes remained unexposed to the erotica.
Van den Bergh and Dewitte then ranked the men according to their testosterone levels and found that the more testosterone a man had, the worse he fared in the tests.
“We all think we are rational beings, but our research suggests ... that people with high testosterone levels are very vulnerable to sexual cues. If there are no cues around, they behave normally, but if they see sexual images they become impulsive," said Dewitte. “It’s a tendency, but these people are not powerless to fight it. Hormone levels are one thing, but we can learn to deal with it."
The researchers are conducting experiments to find a similar effect in women, but have yet to find a visual stimulus that mars their ability to make good decisions.
