A real nice acquaintance I know from dining at the bar of the Library Alehouse in Santa Monica showed me this photo he shot and made into this Sign of the Times. The homeless couple, in Chicago if I'm not mistaken, posed for this photo.

Don't let yourself go. Prevention is easier than finding a cure. Read books like these and take action.
This shows how much foresight Ron Paul had back in 2002. He was one of the few, actually one of only six Republicans, who voted against the Iraq War. Listen to this address before Congress, and in hindsight, you'll know Ron Paul is the pro-peace candidate with very good reasoning and NOT a fear mongering fool like the others in DC.

I have always considered myself to be the Anti-Kelly Clarkson. And, it feels real good when I am proven wrong with my feelings about someone that once irritated me. It was not necessarily her, personally, that was irritating. It was the way the media hyped her up, musically, and in other ways that probably even bothered Clarkson.
Something good that Clarkson did, made me stand up and take notice. Clarkson courageously made a contrarian move away from the liberal left Hollywood standard and endorsed a real Washington rebel named Ron Paul for President via her official twitter account. The tweet stated that she loved Ron Paul. (see Twitter.Com/Kelly_Clarkson).
Her song, Mr. Know it All, (above video) is as if it were written for the wrath she has received from a loud vicious minority of her following. This song could be the answer to sends to those fans that maybe they don't really know Clarkson at all.
The thing I liked most about her endorsement is that she didn't back down from those who slammed her online and still are trying to raise their voices above Ron Paul supporters on all of her social networks on twitter, facebook and youtube.
Bravo, Kelly Clarkson! You got this writers attention for the first real time. But, you have risen to the occasion. You now have a new fan aright here. GC - Editor - The Scoop
Sally Fallon Morell, known to many as Sally Fallon, is one of the most contrarian nutritional experts in the U.S., who has a background and wealth of knowledge, which bucks the common wisdom of industrialized, big pharma and big agri controlled federal level food oversight.
As a story entitled "Against odds, Lipitor became world's top seller" hit the newswires today, it made me wonder what Sally Fallon would say about the way this drug was marketed and whether it is a necessary drug or not. And, would she say cholesterol blocking drugs are good or have any benefit? I think that she would not and she would have a very good argument as to why they are not good. And, this press conference below, where she speaks in detail about Cholesterol, is a small glimpse of contrarian information on the subject from a well researched, scientific perspective.
In the video below, Sally Fallon Morell of the Weston A. Price Foundation (WestonAPrice.Org) hosted a press conference with concerned scientists and nutrition researchers on Feb 14, 2011. In her introductory remarks she describes the Flaws in the 2010 USDA Dietary Guidelines, with a particular emphasis of the impact on school lunch programs.

Out of all of the Presidential candidates, it is difficult to argue with the well informed about the fact that Ron Paul is the most consistent on all economic, monetary, foreign policy, health care and other issues over his political lifetime of approximately 30 years. Whether one agrees with him or not on the issues, the authenticity which he represents is what makes him resonate with me. It's also what has made him resonate with college and even a wide swath of high school aged students who are just about to vote.
These days it seems like everyone in Washington trying to get elected or reelected are claiming we need to eliminate the Federal Reserve. People in the know are aware of the fact that Ron Paul is quite literally the only politician who talked about this for his entire career as a true citizen politician. Everyone who says it now rarely gives credit to the godfather of the Audit The Fed movement, Ron Paul.
All the wars that cost us trillions of dollars, that the U.S. is presently in, Ron Paul is the only person running who actually voted against from the start, not to mention voting against all subsequent funding. Ron Paul calls terror a tactic and is critical of the idea that we have a war against a tactic. He has maintained that our flawed policies of interventionism have created more enemies than we would have otherwise. His non-interventionist approach is often called isolationist by his critics. But calling him isolationist is plain ignorant, for non-interventionism includes the pursuit of trade, dialog, friendship and non intermingling in the internal affairs of other sovereign nations. Not meddling is not the same as isolationism.
What the U.S. is doing with regards to Cuba, Iran, Venezuela, just to name a few, is isolationism. Not having open dialog and making false accusations against others, non-stop. Cutting off trade the way the U.S. has with Cuba and even Iran is isolationist. Ron Paul advocates for honesty, dialog, trade, and true friendship which is the opposite of isolationist. So, whenever you hear someone calling Ron Paul isolationist, ask them if they support cutting off trade with Iran and Cuba. Why should your average non military businesses be cut off from trading with like minded people across the world? Isn't that what freedom and liberty is all about?
