Vaccinations and Autism Link VerifiedDocuments have emerged today proving the innocence of Dr Andrew Wakefield, the vaccine / autism researcher who has been falsely accused by the British Medical Journal of "fabricating" the study data he published in 1998. The documents, just made public yesterday, reveal that other researchers replicated his results independently and with documentation, 14 months before Dr Wakefield published his own work. We have the full story and the links to these documents that now shatter the BMJ's false reporting and blatantly dishonest misrepresentation of the facts: http://www.naturalnews.com/031116_Dr_Andrew_Wakefield_British_Medical_Journal.html |

Teenage WisdomMy son came home from school one day, 'Guess what I learned in Civics Two, It says I need not clean my room, I have freedom from religion, I can wear earrings if I want, And if you ever spank me, Don't you ever touch me, Don't preach about your morals, Mum, I have these children's rights, Mum's Reply and ThoughtsOf course my first instinct was I mulled it over carefully, Next day I took him shopping I've called and checked with D.O.C.S. I've cancelled that appointment I said 'No time to stop and eat, Just save the raging appetite, He asked 'Can I please rent a movie, I also rented out your room, Your clothing won't be trendy now, I'm selling off your jet ski, Hey hot shot, are you crying, Send to all people that have teenagers or have already raised teenagers, or have children who will soon be teenagers or those who will be parents someday or ANYONE WHO'D JUST GET A LAUGH I love this One!!! |

Be The Example That By Emulation Will Save The WorldI goofed last week. I failed to set a good example. While reflecting on my failure and looking for ways to do better I penned this: Hear Earth, she is crying, To make profits we haste, Destroyed, pillaged and plundered, Her beauty we admire, We overuse and replenish not, If we take more than we give, The problem is really not carbon, For us plastic's fantastic, Coporate greed might have won first place, Psyche and street drugs first dull men's senses, I fear big pharma have gambled, To forsee disaster from their profit, We eat what is promoted, Our waistlines are growing, The more artificial the food, The authorities in whom we trust, Else our trajectory is plotted, We must rise above our disinterest, So let us vote with our spending, We need to clean up our collective act, We need to set an example to our friends, Tom Grimshaw |
Until next time, dream big dreams, read widely, think well of your fellow man, eat food that's good for you and do the important things that make a difference - they are rarely the urgent ones!
