The Conscious Earth: An Inconvenient Truth Squeezed from Classrooms

Stacy Reed November 27, 2006March 13, 2016

http://consciousearth.blogspot.com/2006/11/inconvenient-truth-squeezed-from.html From the article: “The producers of An Inconvenient Truth have offered to supply American classrooms with 50,000 copies of the movie free of charge. That offer has been rejected by the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA), the nation’s leading science education teachers group, citing a risk to funding from key financial supporters. One of those supporters is Exxon-Mobil.”

Bye-Bye Civil Liberties

Sya October 18, 2006April 28, 2012

The American Civil Liberties Union is mad as hell. President Bush signed the Military Commissions Act of 2006 into law and the ACLU called the new law one of the worst civil liberties measures ever enacted in American history. “With his signature, President Bush enacts a law that is both unconstitutional and un-American. This president will be remembered as theContinue readingBye-Bye Civil Liberties

Sya May 3, 2006May 24, 2012

Man wins a free song download from Pepsi and uses the credit to buy “Silence” by Ciccone Youth.

Attention Wal-Mart Shoppers, You’re Scumbags!

Kylere February 27, 2006June 12, 2012

Wal-Mart is the favorite store of the middle-class trash-crowd because they are easily mislead by its bait-and-switch business practices. For example, Wal-Mart has been known to set very low prices on a cheap import item predominately located at each section of the store then jack up the rest of the prices in the department to compensate. Being ignorant, the trashContinue readingAttention Wal-Mart Shoppers, You’re Scumbags!
