I find that many people I discuss 9/11 with, if they are not totally like that river in Egypt, will still want to see more evidence. Some, however, have apparently very short attention spans. These little YouTube videos that people make are really wonderful. They are short, to the point,
Note: This video link was edited October 15, 2023 because Anthony Lawson’s channel was, at somepoint during the great censorship purge, removed from YouTube, and I still want you to be able to watch it here. Go vote in the poll before you watch this video. Don’t worry, nobody will

As I was working developing a website and blog for a friend’s business, something occurred to me. It was just a minor observation, but one that got me thinking and you might find it interesting. It is something that has probably, at least fleetingly, come to the mind of everyone
This is an election year and there are plenty of people who at this point realize that the US President is largely a figurehead, as are pretty much all the others, and who will tell you that it really doesn’t matter who is elected, the outcome, essentially speaking, is largely
As a timely follow up to my recent post Against Patents, I thought it might be appropriate to show an example of how the little sister of patent monopoly, copyright, is abused. One of the worst copyrighting ideas is the idea of licensing where you as an individual pay for
A friend of mine recently sent me an article regarding a possible breakthrough in the cause of Bee Colony Collapse (Zombie Fly Parasite Killing Honeybees, Yahoo News, January 4, 2012). Some of you may remember that back in 2009 a friend and I published a paper called Honey bee colony
2012 has begun. You may be prepared for disaster, but are you prepared for good fortune?
Updated October 15, 2023 because YouTube deleted The Corbett Report channel some time ago and I still want you to be able to watch this video here. I thought this very well done video from the Corbett Report would make a good follow up to yesterday’s post The Marketing of
The Generalist has a new look! Finally! Ok, ok, it took a little goading on the part of a friend of mine, but here it is. Do let me know if you encounter any problems. I will be tweaking as I discover little issues. Also, there will be new posts

Recently I wrote a quick post about the FDA in relation to a TV show on Animal Planet called I’m Alive. I received a couple of comments, but one of them requires a little more explanation so I’ve decided to answer it as a post. First, the title of that
My friend Richard died this year in January. Shortly after his death I submitted a paper he had written for publication in a scientific journal called Bioscience Hypotheses. The editors were interested, but they had questions. As I had contributed somewhat to Richard’s ideas, I was familiar with them and
So I’ve been sick for a few days (swine flu?) and have been staying home and going stir crazy. Lack of exercise and the general misery of being sick have meant a lot of late night TV for me. Last night, for the first time, I got a chance to
