Ignoring Clint Eastwood's advice in "Dirty
Harry" that opinions, like certain body parts, are best kept to
yourself. Using starvation of the enemy population is not
new, while outlawed now by international law, the Nazis did it
during World War II in the war against Russia,
"Hunger Plan" killed
millions of Soviets. And, while Americans might say that we'd never
do that, we did it as well during World War II in our attempt to end
the Japanese conflict.
Using Famine as a Weapon of War
The Constitution created
our powerful federal government. In Article VI, it declares
the Constitution to be the ''Law of the Land'' and requires
the elected and appointed officers at state and federal
levels to be ''bound by Oath or Affirmation to support this

Yes, no question that ''Lyndon
gets things done'', including winning the 1948 Senate race in
the 10th Texas district. At the last minute in Alice, Texas, 218

bringing him the win. Not only that, they lined up in
alphabetical order and all of them voted using a fountain pen

in desperate need of an EPIPEN, but the passenger didn't have
one, and the emergency first aid kit on the aircraft didn't have
one either. In fact, he later learned, airlines didn't carry
them. They do now, or at least there is movement to do so. A
little long (11 minutes), but very informative.
My friend Steve agrees with Clint
Eastwood's theory about aging: ''Don't let the old man in''.
Steve just turned 85 and is as active as ever, actually
getting married last year to a lovely lady younger than he.
The age difference? It might be fatal, I told Steve, to
which he replied, ''if she dies, she dies''. More
It all began when the
Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) hired its

Grey's serialized novel,
published in Ladies' Home Journal in 1922-1923, was one of the
first pieces of literature produced which offered a harsh
portrayal of American government agencies towards Native
Americans. Grey depicted the white settlers as missionaries who
preyed upon the subordinate race, forcefully converting them
into Christianity and altering their way of life. This depiction
sparked a lot of backlash in the form of angry letters from
readers once the novels were published. More
