My
Muzzle Energy Computer now allows you to specify velocity in
meters/second or feet/second, and it shows energy in foot pounds or
joules.
Kentucky Coaltion to Carry Concealed - The progress of "Shall Issue" concealed carry laws in the last 16 years - an animated map of the US. Something to look at when you're feeling down.
Edgar J. Steele - Impeach Bush Now - before he kills more thousands of innocents.
Thousands of Iraqis and Afghanis have died on Bush's watch, and as a direct result of his orders. Hundreds of Americans have died and continue to die in the Middle East, for the sake of Chosen ambitions and American gas prices.
Thousands upon thousands of Iranians and Syrians are now marked for death, as well, to be sacrificed for Israeli hegemony.
We are on the brink of nuclear war with North Korea.
America has become a literal police state, with political dissidents being rounded up and jailed every day by Reich Marshal Ashcroft.
Charley Reese - President George W. - some strong words for the mouseketeer in chief.
It's becoming increasingly clear that it was all bull. There are no stockpiles, unless Harry Potter's Invisibility Cloak covers them. There is no nuclear-weapons program. There are no hidden long-range missiles. There never was any connection between Iraq and al-Qaida. Iraq was not an "imminent threat" to Kuwait, much less to the United States and the rest of the world. Gulf War I, arms inspections, 13 years of cruel economic sanctions and periodic bombings had reduced Iraq to a shell of its former strength.
Bottom line: The Bush administration, on false pretenses, took Americans to war. I don't mean by that that the president was lying. I think he chose to believe what he wanted to be true and disregarded all the evidence to the contrary. He wanted to get Saddam. To do that, Saddam had to have weapons of mass destruction. Bush was apparently unwilling and still is unwilling to believe that they simply didn't exist.
And the world is not better off without Saddam in power, because whether Saddam was in power or not had no effect on the world one way or another. Iraq is not and never was a major player in the world. It has far too few people and too few resources, despite its oil. But the United States is much worse off.
Ron Paul's Texas Straight Talk - Federal Reserve Inflation Punishes Saving - I've never heard Dr. Paul say this in so many words, so I will. The Federal Reserve must die!
Centralized planning is as disastrous in monetary affairs as in economic affairs. Just as Russian commissars could not determine prices or production levels in the absence of a free market, the Federal Reserve Board cannot determine the "proper" level for interest rates or the money supply. Our fiat currency and artificially low interest rates can only result in the deterioration of the U.S. dollar through inflation, which in the end will cause interest rates to rise no matter what the Fed says or does. Older Americans especially stand to suffer most from Mr. Greenspan's easy money policies.
