Bigfoot Story Of The Day

    Continuing our focus upon sightings of Bigfoot wearing clothing, we add this one:
  About 1950, near the Eel River above Eureka, Florida, a girl walking in a meadow sees a Bigfoot dressed in torn clothing.

What's Better In The News With Dolphins, India, And The Economy

    A scientific paper has made a strong correlation between the British Petroleum (BP) Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf Of Mexico to the deaths of dolphins. This paper is being argued against by British Petroleum which paid for the study. Lung disease caused by oil contamination was found in most the of the dolphins captured and released in the Gulf. About half of the contaminated porpoises were given a "guarded or worse" prognosis.
    India's dominant party is going to try to overcome a supreme court decision to begin again a ban on homosexual acts. The Minister Of Law stated, " We must decriminalize adult consensual relationships." There can be little doubt that India is in a cultural revolution to recognize and give sanctity to the rights of the individual rather than the traditional domination by males.
    Ben Bernanke is going to taper- a little - monthly bond purchases. The government buying of mortgages and treasury purchases will be reduced by $10 billion in January. These bond purchases have benefitted housing and the hiring and pay scales of federal government bureaucrats. By not spending this money, there may be some growth in small businesses.

What's Better In The News For Lobotomies, Wiretapping, And Green Peace

    What's better with lobotomies is that Thorazine replaced lobotomies in the mid 1950s. For the most part, Thorazine, the first anti-psychotic medication, also ended the barbaric practices of electroconvulsive (shock) treatment, hot then cold water hosings, high pressure water hosings, and insulin induced comas. The Wall Street Journal has revealed that almost 2,000 veterans of World War ll in Veterans' Administration (VA) hospitals received lobotomies. Most were done from 1947 to 1950. The overriding decision for a lobotomy appears to have been to control violence.
    There were two kinds of lobotomies. The usual one was for the surgeon to fold back the skin of the patient's forehead, saw to holes into the skull, insert a spatula-shaped knife into the brain and then twist the spatula. This would destroy the brain fibers between the prefrontal area (the area right behind the forehead) and the rest of the brain.
    The second method was to insert an ice pick beneath the upper eyelid, through the bony eye socket, and into the brain. This was a simple procedure, and we know of a psychologist with a Master's Degree whom the physicians let perform such an operation on a patient.  This was not at a VA hospital but at a state mental hospital.
  A presidential panel has offered 46 proposals to the president that could result in big changes in the way the United States pursues intelligence gathering. The pendulum is about to swing again in spying. It swung too far under President Clinton who insisted that foreign spies basically had to be Boy Scouts to be hired by the United States. This led to 9-11. Americans must recognize that we successfully fought World War lll against the Soviet Union, and that we are currently in World War lV against the Islamofascists. This war will be over when the Muslims reform Islam to purge the hate from the Koran. The hate is essentially found in the command by Allah to kill the infidel. We Christians got over that bias and now it's time for the Muslims.
    Russia is hosting the Olympic Winter Games in Sochi this February. In order to look like a more civilized nation, a bill has been passed which would grant amnesty to those convicted of  "hooliganism." This will, if anything is certain in Russia, result in the two members of the Pussy Riot Band being released before serving their last three months of a two year sentence. More significantly, it will probably result in charges being dropped against thirty Green Peace members arrested after they tried to board a Soviet offshore oil platform in the Arctic.

Bigfoot Story Of The Day

    This happens in Springbrook National Forest, Southeastern Queensland, Australia in 1984. Three young people are on a hike when one of them, a woman, sees a 5 foot 6 inch Bigfoot squatting on a rock at the edge of a creek. He is playing with a twig. His hands, feet, and face are black and free of fur. He has a human/ape face, and his eyes glisten with intelligence. Unconcerned about the humans, he continues to play while the three hikers, enthralled with such a discovery, watch him. Suddenly, the three hear a strange, gurgling noise and then a crashing sound as something runs toward the cub. The cub looks behind him. The three hikers are terrified to see a huge, long arm emerging from a bush next to the cub. The arm is covered in black hair, and the hand has five fingers. The cub takes the hand, and mother and cub disappear into the forest. The three humans run in panic with the smell of a wet dog behind them. They think they saw a breast in the bush from which the arm was extended.

What's Better In The News With HIV Drugs, Monsanto, And Argentine Looting

    For the large part, before ObamaCare insurers required patients to pay only a flat copay- $10 to $50- for HIV drugs. Under ObamaCare insurers are requiring patients to pay 50 percent of the cost of the drug. This can amount to thousands of dollars, and for examples, Humana and Aetna are doing this in Florida already. Another problem is that insurers are putting HIV drugs, even the generic ones, on the highest tier, that is, charging the most for them. Fortunately, some 31 HIV and AIDS organizations  are asking Obama to look at these problems. This, again, is not what We, the People, were promised with ObamaCare.
    Monsanto is partnering with Novozymes  to cultivate microbes such as tiny fungi that will aid plants. This offers the potential of sidestepping genetically-modified (GM) seeds that many people are fearful will have adverse effects on humans in the future. As far as we are aware of, there has been no damage to date from GM plants, and no reason to think there will be.
    The looting has stopped in Argentina. It began in the  province of Cordoba about two weeks ago, and was stopped by the police only after they had been given a big raise. But from there, the looting spread to four other provinces. For example, hundreds of looters on motorcycles broke into a milk factory where the workers resisted the bikers but were overwhelmed. The looters sped away, laden with cases of milk. Looting has happened due to police protests and small strikes over wage increases in all twelve Argentine provinces. To stop the widespread theft, the government doubled the starting wage of a policeman to $1,300 a month.

Bigfoot Story Of The Day

  In Low Gap, Johnson County, Arkansas, 2005, two boys hunt for coons with their dog. One boy test fires his little .22 rifle to make sure it's sighted in. At the second shot, both boys hear a very loud, monkey-like scream from a dense thicket about 80 yards away. Alarmed, they walk back home and get their father who sensibly comes out with a 30-06 rifle and a .357 magnum revolver. They see that the dog has treed the coon up a cliff. It's very late, and they call to the dog but he won't leave the coon. They all leave, knowing the dog will return home. Next morning, the dog is lying out in the yard. The father approaches the dog to put him back into his pen and feed him. He reaches for the dog, and for the first time, the dog snaps at him. Finally, the man is able to safely pick up the dog and put him back into his pen. The father notices that the dog has his ears torn and acts as if he is hurt. That could have been done by the coon or the creature that made the loud monkey-like scream.

What's Better In The News With Pot, The Ukraine, And The Republicans

  What's better with pot is that if you are 18 years or older, you may legally grow six marijuana plants if you live in Uruguay. Additionally, private companies will be able to grow pot, and the government will sell it. Some 20 to 30 companies are poised to start pot farms in the warmer northern regions. Countries to the south of the United States are sickened by the drug wars the U.S. has financed in their countries. The only difference such wars has made is that the violence has become more brutal and widespread. The drugs remain. Mexico City legislators are looking at bills to legalize marijuana as are officials in Puerto Rico, Chile, Belize, Barbados, Trinidad, and Tobago. Many credited the initiatives in California and Colorado for inspiring them plus giving them models to consider for their own use.
  The Ukrainian government made a surprise push to eject the demonstrators from their camps by sending in the troops. Surprisingly, the troops were rebuffed by the demonstrators without violence. Unidentified sources in Yanukovych's administration had not expected this push to clear the camps and stated it was because the president has come under the influence of more hard-line advisors, including, ominously, Russians. We predict Yanukovych  will use violence if he continues his association with Russia. At the same time, Catherine Ashton, the European's foreign policy chief did meet with the president who repeated over two days of meetings that he would sign the EU pact. If this is true, it is good news, but along with using violence, the Russians also export lying.
  What's better for the Republicans is the many Democrat leaders who said along with Obama that you would be able to keep your insurance with ObamaCare, and it would be cheaper, are in trouble for being wrong, badly wrong. Republicans may have an issue they can ride to Congressional victories in '14 and a Presidential victory in '16. Certainly, many voters are getting weary of the mistakes of this administration and are ready for a change. As for the Republican leaders, it all comes back to character: Are there any leaders with strong enough personalities to say the obvious or will they too continue to admire the Emperor's clothes just as McCain and Romney did?

Bigfoot Story Of The Day

  This story comes from Montgomery County, Arkansas in 2008 and shows how successful putting out corn for deer can be in attracting Bigfoot and how Bigfoot kills deer. A couple move onto 16 acres of woods with the plan of building a house. They live in a camping trailer in the meantime, and both work in a nearby town. Animal lovers, they put out corn in two locations. Soon Bigfoot kills a deer at both spots by breaking both of the back legs of each deer and pulling the head and back leg off of one deer. We surmise he broke the neck of the other deer once he crippled her by breaking her back legs.  A dog is found bleeding beside the couple's front porch. A quart of sweeten water put out for humming-birds is drunk. Blocks of suet for birds are eaten. The couple finds two 18" tracks, and then they hear whooping sounds. The neighbors have five sheep killed, and their nearly-200 pound Rottweiler has a leg pulled off but survives. Unfortunately, the story ends here, but this would be a terrific place for a Bigfoot camera-hunter, or two preferably, to set up an armed camp for a while.

What's Better In The News About Chickens, Pre-K Education, And The Ukraine

  Tyson has decided to raise their own chickens in China instead of buying them because of safety concerns. Tyson covers its chicken yards so wild birds flying over can't introduce diseases by way of their droppings. Tyson is also building chicken houses in rural areas far from neighbors who raise poultry to try to keep down the rate of disease transmission by way of the air. Chinese housewives have remarked that they are willing to pay a little more for a better kept bird. They also like the label on their chicken having a production date so if there is a problem, the chicken can be traced back to his home. Tyson is aware that these safeguards cost but hope the costs will be small enough to remain competitive.
  What's better with pre-K education is that study after study, even a gold-plated forty year longitudinal study, show that early childhood education results in children who are learn better, behave better, live healthier, and earn more than those who don't get such an education. President Obama has a $75 billion plan for preschool education. China, Mexico, and India are all promising to increase their enrollment numbers.
  The European Union (EU) is sending its foreign policy chief, Catherine Ashton, to Kiev to try to resolve the political stalemate: President Yankovych's refusal to join the EU. Unfortunately, Yankovych is moving toward Russia, having recently invited Putin for a visit. If Yankovych continues the association with Putin, we fear he will be influenced by Putin to deal with the massive pro-European Union demonstrations in the Ukraine by using violence. Putin is thuggery personified.

The Bigfoot Story Of The Day

  This story comes from Johnson County, Arkansas and is about a hunter who sees the tops of two small trees bent at about seven feet with both of them pointing in the same direction -toward the mountains. He is in the woods hunting squirrels with a diminutive .22 rifle. He shoots some squirrels and then hears what sounds like a hollow tree being struck with a club. He hears four bangs. He also notices that the woods have becomes silent.
Even the woodpeckers who call and drum at lot at this time of day are quiet. Then he sees it. A Bigfoot is squatting behind a thin screen of brush. He is rocking side to side. The hunter thinks he is about to be attacked. He's actually killed a 375 pound black bear with such a small caliber rifle by aiming and hitting the bear directly under the chin, severing his spinal cord. He carefully aims at a spot directly underneath the chin of the Hairyman and shoots the little rifle. The Bigfoot springs up, whirls around and runs off. The hunter fires 15 more shots at the back of the Bigfoot, and he is sure he has scored at least 7 hits. The Bigfoot continues running, his legs noticeably bent but with long strides that are very fluid. His long arms swing in an exaggerated but fluid manner too. The hunter runs to his truck, throws the vehicle into gear, and stomps desperately on the accelerator. Much to his horror, the truck roars backwards deeper into the woods, hitting a tree. He put the transmission into reverse rather than drive. He throws it into drive and roars out of the woods. The hunter never hunts in that area again. But unlike many other hunters who have seen Bigfoot, he does go into the woods again, just not that woods.

What's Better In The News About Brains, Cancer, and Crippling Our Military

  For us who like differences between male and female, this is big. Brain imagery shows that women's brains are better connected across the two brain hemispheres than men's are. But men are better wired within each hemisphere. This may mean that women are better in multi-tasking (think of the myriad tasks a mother must do in raising her children and how essential that is for the survival of our species) and analytical thought (this too would be essential for raising children). Men though are better equipped for more focused work, requiring attention to one thing at a time (think how important this would be in hunting, fighting, and meeting other challenges. This could also be part of the reason that more estranged men kill their girlfriends or wives rather than the reverse).
  Cancer is expected to kill almost 40 percent fewer people in the next ten years because of survivorship programs. Apparently, there are a significant number of people who initially beat cancer but die later. Survivor care includes a treatment follow-up plan, physical rehabilitation, and emotional care such as counseling and support groups. Chemotherapy can cause secondary cancers and damage to the body. There is always the chance cancer will return. Most people- 70 percent- suffer depression. Patients have immunity deficits and get infections more easily. "Chemo-Brain" is real with both temporary cognitive problems as well as 15 percent of the patients having long-term mental damage.
  Survivor-Care is designed to combat these problems with the services already mentioned. In addition, there is a software program called "Journey
Forward" used to customize follow-up plans.
  What's better for the crippling of our military is the 2016 presidential election being won by a Republican. Americans are going to look at the cowardly, indifferent abandonment of an American ambassador, two Navy Seals, and a State Department technical expert at Benghazi. Americans are going to look at Obama's lie that he will not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon. Americans will learn that the number of military fighting men and women have been decreased by 50 percent since the 1990s while the number of military bureaucrats has increased by 100 percent. The time for change is more than here. It is urgent.

The Bigfoot Story Of The Day

  This is a report from a 75 year old man in 2009 from Ouachita County, Arkansas. He claimed that his father and his father's brother happened upon five Bigfoot in a pool of water in a river bottom. His father said they were ugly and the three female Bigfoot had big breasts that hanged quite low. His brother never got over the shock and would not go into the woods again. The father fed a four and a half foot Bigfoot whom he called Little Sam. He'd go into the woods and bring him food. The writer says he only saw Little Sam twice but he had a humpback and facial hair. He remarked that the Bigfoot was very ugly. Years after the writer left home, he got a letter from his father saying that he and his wife hadn't seen Little Sam - only the family knew about him - so he hunted for him and found his body. The writer said that the creature never talked but only grunted, but still he cried when he read of the death of Little Sam.

What's Better In The News With Mexico's Oil, Military Women, And Stolen Art

  Mexico may be winding up to pass a bill that will allow foreign companies to drill for oil and gas. A major problem is that the oil is being defined in the bill as "strategic" which allows State control. It remains to be seen if foreign companies will be able to live with oil and gas at the whimsy of Mexican bureaucrats. Corruption runs deep in Mexico. For example, several months ago, a drug cartel seized a port, and it took the Mexican Navy - the least corrupted government entity- to seize it back.
  Another bill, this time in the U.S., is moving through Congress to criminalize retribution against victims of sexual abuse in the Armed Forces. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand also proposes that military commanders should no longer have the power to decide if assault cases can proceed. She rightly argues that the military prosecutors should decide that. Unfortunately, she has been unable to find political support. However, criminalizing retaliation is a major step forward for the military if it passes.
  Both Israel and the U.S. are pushing the Germans to be quicker and more open in restoring art stolen by the Nazis from the Jews during World War ll.
Germany has a well-deserved reputation of slow-walking and being uncommunicative about current claims on stolen art that has been found. This is odd in that Germany has historically been eager to shed its National Socialist (Nazi) past and to aid the Jews who survived the Holocaust.

Bigfoot Story Of The Day

  An acquaintance told me a few days ago that he puts out deer parts, deer killed on the road, and other meat to attract coyotes so he can try to shoot them. He hears plenty of coyotes singing at the kill sight, but recently has been hearing something howl that he knows is not a coyote. But he doesn't know what it is. I wonder if it could be a Bigfoot and plan to ask him to entertain that idea. Sometimes, the howling of a Bigfoot is much louder and deeper than coyotes. If Bigfoot starts to howl while coyotes are singing, sometimes the coyotes will quit howling. There is also a "hitch" to Bigfoot's howling which I cannot explain further. Maybe you'll understand it when you hear it.
  Questions, comments, and sightings of Bigfoot and black panthers (pumas) are greatly welcome. Peter Nickerson 352-359-0850

What's Better With Mass Murders And Louisiana's Vouchers

  The International Commission On Missing Persons (ICMP) established in 1996 has made so many advances using hard work and even jerry-built equipment in identifying people killed in genocides and other calamities that about eighty percent of people are being identified. This means that each body is given his individuality back and provides closure to his family, friends, and country. Also, once people are certain that someone is dead, they can demand accountability for his death if it was done by others. This means that mass killers will feel less safe as there is no statute of limitations on murder. In time, they will pay for their crimes.
  Judge Lemelle in Louisiana has said that he believes vouchers promote racial balance and doesn't want to stop that. That seems rather vague, but if it promotes vouchers, all the better. He's given the Department of Justice
(DOJ) 60 days to agree to a review. DOJ wants blacks to stay in public schools because it keeps public schools less white. This is the Achilles Heel of centralized government- one size fits all, and people are regarded as mere numbers not individuals. Black children must sacrifice a good education via vouchers to remain in failing schools so highly paid, political elites can have their way. These force freaks have their own children in private schools, of course. Why do We, the People, tolerate such arrogance and two-facedness? Judge Lemelle is doing his part to make education better for many individuals. Stand strong, Your Honor.

Bigfoot Story Of The Day

  This is a strange story from Dana Jacalien, then a 40 year old refrigerator mechanic in 1979 living in Kodiak, Alaska. He and his friend had boated to Etolin Island near Wrangell to shoot deer. They had a stand about 7,000 feet up and were going to camp there and shoot down at the deer in the morning. Dana's friend wasn't satisfied with the anchoring of the boat and decided to stay there for the night. Dana went up to the camp and soon was in his sleeping bag. A Bigfoot came up to his sleeping bag, leaned against a limb, and looked down at Dana. Dana says the Hairyman (as Bigfoot is known in Alaska) had a knowing smile. Then Dana heard " a collective consciousness that whispered with a longing voice 'Leave me alone.' The Bigfoot walked off. The next morning, Dana told his partner what had happened and showed him the Bigfoot tracks. They left without shooting any deer. Peter Nickerson

What's Better In The News

  What's better is that one woman thought she saw an opportunity, took it, and it led to a business that may make $40 million this year. Alli Webb in California wanted to get some time away from her kids and make some money. She had been a hair stylist so she offered to go to clients' homes and give them high-quality blowouts. Soon she had more requests than time and started hiring other people. Today, she has 32 locations and 2,000 employees, mostly part-timers. She stresses high quality blowouts and personal service. She charges $40.
  What's better with the Bernie Madoff billion dollar scam is that Frank Di Pascali, one of Madoff's schemers who holds only a high school degree is being a cooperative witness. It's in his best interest as he has been convicted and not yet sentenced. He has detailed how Madoff and his crew outwitted auditors. Auditors can learn from Madoff's tricks. For instance, in the '90s an auditor surprised Di Pascali by demanding to see the detailed trading logs of a certain day. Of course, Madoff had none, so Di Pascali managed to slip out an order under the auditor's nose telling the rest of the crew to create the trading logs. They hurried to make some and then put them in a refrigerator as they were got off the press. Next, they tossed them to each other to make them look old and used. The counterfeiting worked for the auditor was satisfied with "trading logs."

Watching Bigfoot

  There was a very good word used to describe the walk of the Bigfoot which has been compared to cross-country skiing and long-distance ice skating. The word is "gliding." We saw this word used in a report from Taylorsville, North Carolina. The gentleman, a hunter, saw the Hairyman from his car. He was on a powerline, a likely place for a Bigfoot to hunt due to its high browse factor and glided into the woods when the gentleman spotted him. We checked maps and saw that there were about four lakes and ponds in the area as well as a river. Bigfoot are like Navy Seals: they use water for refuge, getting into and out of situations, and are extremely comfortable in that medium. There is even speculation that they have underwater caves and diving efforts have been made to locate such caves but to no avail as far as we know. Peter Nickerson 352-359-0850

Wha'ts Better In The News

  Free lunches were offered in America as a draw to get you inside the restaurant where you were expected to buy beer. Hence, the saying that there's no such thing as a free lunch. Then main form of advertising on Twitter is "native ads" which are advertising messages subtly mixed with the content. Mixing ads with content is necessary since phones and tablets are too small to conveniently separate the two. But the practice is spreading to larger format information platforms. The New York Times already has native advertising and our beloved paper, the Wall Street Journal, is considering it. It appears that it is simply going to be the reader's responsibility to have the savvy to separate the wheat from the chaff.

Watching Bigfoot

  We want to tell you an interesting, colorful story. The story comes from the Kamchataka Peninsula in Russia. It is told by a hunter who had already killed a 10 foot Alaskan Brown Bear there and did not go on this particular hunt with his buddies. The hunter is Bill Lee of Boise, Idaho. The hunting party guided by Indians followed a brown bear for four days. They found where the bear had an epic battle with another extremely powerful creature. The ground was torn up, and the hunters found a limb that the other creature had used against the bear (bears can't hold clubs). The limb had been torn from a nearby tree and measured about five feet long with the bigger end about five or six inches in diameter. The big end was covered with blood and fur. The hunters tracked down the bear the next morning. He was sleeping in some thick bushes so they waited patiently for him to get up. Hours later he emerged from the bushes and began walking very stiffly and slowly. The bear was humanely killed by two shots from a .416 Rigby, commonly known as an elephant gun. When he was skinned, he was found to have bites on him, but they weren't as deep as bear bites. They also were arranged in a horseshoe shape like a human's, not the long and narrow pattern that a bear leaves. The Indian guides had read the signs at the site of the epic battle a day before and said that the bear had attacked a female Bigfoot who had a youngster with her. Immediately, a male Bigfoot had jumped on the back of the bear and began biting his neck. During the battle, he had pulled thelimb off and used it as a club. The mother Bigfoot had run off with the cub, leaving the fight to the male.The area was full of wild strawberry bushes. This fight was probably over finite resources. Peter Nickerson, 352-359-0850.

What's Better

For people who love their family, others, and themselves enough to keep guns handy to protect the above, one-person handguns are now available.
They are very expensive, costing about $2,000, and we believe in time all the technology will be solely in the gun and a watch or ring will not be needed.
  Armatix sells an IP1 pistol and a IW2 watch. You synchronize the watch and gun, enter your PIN number, and the gun is unlocked. In addition Triggersmart Technologies has a gun and bracelet or ring that activates the gun. These guns allow you to have a firearm within reach, but it avoids the tragedy of other people, especially children, fiddling with the weapon and accidentally shooting others or themselves. It also makes it more difficult for thieves to have a useable gun.
  Security sensors have proven their worth by their absence. In order to boost sales, Penny's took off its security sensors. Sales did go up but so did theft. It took a full percentage point off sorely needed profit. Less theft means lower prices, so maybe the public can put up with the sensors more easily.

Watching Bigfoot

  A strange story emanates from Estes Park, Colorado. Jim Holder and his son, to all appearances, innocently videoed a Bigfoot walking in the forest there. They put the video on the Internet and then received a lot of abuse from people who thought the video was a hoax. Someone even complained that the penis of the Bigfoot was circumsized and therefore couldn't be a Bigfoot. Apparently cowed by the din of criticism, Holder decided to take the video off the Internet. We understand that it was a good video, showing a reddish Wildman taking 12 steps, stopping, and tree-peeking. His cone head was clearly visible. Bigfootery is extremely frustrating since good videos are very hard to find plus the anonymity - to a degree- of the Internet makes it easy for some people to show their worst. We urge people to stand up to abuse. If you back down, it leaves room for people to believe you were doing something wrong. Science operates on the truth and needs people who won't abandon it when the crowd shouts otherwise.

  What's better with Lenin is that his mausoleum in Red Square is being over-shadowed by a huge Louis Vitton trunk. The giant trunk houses an exhibit of the company's luggage. Luggage that you can buy and is not forced on you by the State represents a liberty of the individual. As Lenin famously said, "Everything belongs to the State." No longer, Butcher. Communists are unhappy, saying that the trunk desecrates Lenin. Not true. Lenin is a desecration to humanity.
  What's better with the Senakuku Islands is that Obama did send two unarmed B-52s over the islands without filing a flight plan with Communist China as demanded. But Obama has asked domestic carriers to file flight plans. Didn't we learn at Munich that appeasement does not work but only reinforces the bully? Did we not predict such a thing would happen after the insane appeasement with the temporary nuclear agreement with Iran? The lamb calls the wolf. All over the world.
  What's better with working conditions in Bangladesh is that two private safety pacts have been put together "pledging" to invest in factory inspections and upgrades. Steep upgrades, we hope. Walmart is a signatory.
There are also three other groups- Walmart is included here too - that are trying to hone out a single, comprehensive inspection plan. Critics, with justification, see this as more fog saying that the safety risks in the factories are glaringly apparent to any intelligent, honest inspector. They state that what is needed is the government to give such inspectors the power to demand the factory owners make changes or face shutdowns. It remains to be seen what kind of safety plan, if any, the government will pass and enforce. One also wonders about the judicial system in Bangladesh. Can't parties on behalf of injured or killed factory workers sue the factory owners?Overall, this could be a very difficult situation in that you don't want factory workers injured or killed, and at the same time you don't want factory owners deciding that safety features are too expensive and choosing to move to a less demanding country. This leaves your workers jobless and maybe homeless and hungry.

Watching Bigfoot

  Recently Dr. Jeff Meldrum from Idaho State University was mentioned in regard to the Falcon Project in which he would use drones with cameras to look for and video Bigfoot. It appears that William Barnes began the same project after he saw a Bigfoot and had his life changed. He was a weekend gold prospector and had gone out to his site, set camp, and was waiting for his buddies to show up. Suddenly, he heard a Bigfoot walk up to his tent and stand only three feet from him. William Barnes hit upon the idea of using a 35 foot blimp that could hover and would house infra-red cameras and audio equipment. It would fly at night, and he wanted to start on the Bigfoot famous Klamanth River and eventually cover thirteen Bigfoot rich states. The problem was money, and Barnes hoped for donations including the very unlikely Russia. The last I've read is that he's accumulated little of the projected $350,000 necessary to begin. Meldrum's drones will be cheaper, and they can operate in the daylight with no fear of being downed by pot-shots. Peter Nickerson 352-359-0850

What's Better In The News - Exclusively For Ayn-Randians, Libertarians, and Conservatives (For Individual Rights)

  What's Better With Christianity? What's better is that Harvard and the writer of a Harvard blog on the Christian website Harvard Ichtus are both apologizing for a posting saying that the Jews should be punished because Jews killed Christ. It is insane to hold Jews living two thousand years after the death of Christ liable. Besides, only a handful of Jews- the Sanhedrin- and a few Romans had Christ killed
(and then for only a couple of days). The author of the crazy post was a new convert to Christianity coming from Judaism. New converts to anything are especially susceptible to doing extreme things to prove their new loyalty which, of course, is going to be questioned.
  I say that not only should we  love God and others as we love ourselves, but that we should choose to do the most loving thing in any situation that has reasonable options.
  What's Better With ObamaCare? It's better that Americans are starting to see the gimmick in ObamaCare. The trick is to legally order millions of people to pay for overpriced and excessive insurance to provide money to insure the poor and the medically uninsurable. It is obvious that ObamaCare, like Islam, needs to be reformed. You don't deceive people, and you don't kill people of other faiths- so-called "infidels." Naturally, the sponsors of both would disagree.
  What's Better With Music? Alice Herz-Somner, 101 years old, is still playing the piano. She is the oldest living Holocaust survivor and was departed to Theresienstadt concentration camp in 1943. She performed over 100 concerts in the 41 months she was there. After the war, she fled Communist Czechoslovakia to newly created Israel and eventually settled in England. Her son survived the same concentration camp though her husband did not. Play on, courageous lady!
