Invisible No More - (USA)
Dr. Devin J. Starlanyl Remarks Invisible Illnesses Conference Washington, DC (May 11, 2002) Thanks for all the other wonderful people who have taken so much time and effort to bring about this event. Look around you. Most of us here, those with chronic invisible illnesses, share more with each other than we do with our blood relatives. About 10 years ago, I created a word, FMily, to express the bond that we share. It’s not just people with fibromyalgia and chronic myofascial pain that

Update : Ed Koch of all people (die hard democrat) is also sp0oked by the comments of President Obama’s advisors as noted by Betsy McCaughley (article link below video): Most alarming for people like me, who at 84 years of age recently needed a quadruple bypass and aortic valve replacement, are the pronouncements of President Obama’s appointee, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, brother of Obama’s Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, who, according to a New York Post op ed article by Betsy McCauley, former Lt.

Getting mobile with wheelchairs - (USA)
A wheelchair is an instrument which helps disabled people to overcome immobility. It allows them to go from place to place, either by themselves or with the help of a caretaker. A physically challenged person takes the help of a wheelchair either when he/she can not walk or can walk only an extremely small distance. This is due to the result of an accident or a medical condition. However, with the help of wheelchairs , a lot of disabled people have re-gained a lot of independence and mobility

Not Dead Yet: Feminism and Mythology - (USA)
Zenobia has a post up about the latest article on the revival of UK feminism to appear in the Guardian. She notes: I came to Mind the Gap via quite a similar article back in 2006 (ish? I don’t remember exactly), and it was exactly the same, feminism was a dirty word, but there was a new wave of feminists exploding onto the scene, as though there was nothing there before. I think I can remember three articles saying similar things – one was about feminist blogging actually – and Mind the Gap

FACEBOOK ALLOWS HOLOCAUST DENIERS TO STAY - (USA)
BY KI MAE HEUSSNER Abbas Hodroj says he has the right to express his opinions on Facebook. So when the 25-year-old student from Portland, Ore. heard that the social networking site was under pressure to ban Holocaust denial groups, he decided to join one. Now, he’s one of 39 Facebook users listed as members of the group “Holocaust: A Series of Lies,” a community for those who, like Hodroj, do not believe that the genocide of about 6 million Jews during World War II ever took place. “

Death panels? What death panels? Oh, those death panels - (USA)
Sarah Palin’s warning about the effects of Obamacare on the elderly and infirm have been met with derision and ridicule.

Rick Moran can’t take it anymore . It starts with Sarah Palin’s Facebook statement. The Democrats promise that a government health care system will reduce the cost of health care, but as the economist Thomas Sowell has pointed out, government health care will not reduce the cost; it will simply refuse to pay the cost. And who will suffer the most when they ration care? The sick, the elderly, and the disabled, of course. The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby w

Barack Obama, in theory and practice - (USA)
For a long time, I've been alarmed by the big-government collectivist ideology of Barack Obama. Many times I've described him and his policies as socialist. But now that he's POTUS, I've come to see that my choice of terminology was not completely accurate. Just for clarification, here's a definition of socialism: so·cial·ism [soh-shuh-liz-uhm] –nounthe stage following capitalism in the transition of a society to communism, characterized by the imperfect implementation of collectivist princip

Macho Stimulus Plan - (USA)
PRESIDENT-ELECT Barack Obama has convincingly argued for a stimulus package that creates jobs that produce things we desperately need and want. “We’ll put people back to work rebuilding our crumbling roads and bridges, modernizing schools that are failing our children, and building wind farms and solar panels; fuel-efficient cars; and the alternative-energy technologies that can free us from our dependence on foreign oil and keep our economy competitive in the years ahead.” Yes, we need brid

Not unexpected, but sad news out of Hyannis this morning .

Feminist Essay - (USA)
““Does your mother work?” “No, she’s a housewife.”” This statement is just an example of what was heard in and before the feminist movement and the 1960’s. Since then, women’s roles have changed dramatically - instead of being “just a wife”, or “just a mother”, now women can be both and have jobs outside the house. However, women are still considered a subordinate group because not only do women have different physical characteristics than men (the dominant group), but they experience all of th

How to pick the worst possible health care examples - (USA)
Most of us know the propaganda technique called “The Big Lie” (which, as Hitler put it , is a lie so colossal that no one would believe that someone “could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously”.) But I think that the health care debate has gotten to The Even Bigger Lie, which is a lie so stunningly huge that it sucks all the intelligence out of anyone who sees it, a lie that cannot be disputed because it is self contradictory.
