    I spent years in Ca, where I had the misfortune to live in an area infested with cults! No I am not kidding. They had all kinds of tricks up their sleeves when it came to harassing people. They had one trick where they could stop a car engine. One would feel a pulse of electromagnetic energy, and then dead engine. Later, I saw on one of those news shows this can be done by anyone with a basic knowledge of electronics and simple equipment. I had a friend who claimed to hear such voices, and when I tried to help that person, I heard them a few times myself. I always knew in my heart it must be some kind of technology that few people know about yet. Interesting that both places I lived were near military bases. $10 says it was some kind of government experiment that got out of control. Hope it all comes out before the economy crashes. I guess if it is a marketing tool, even possessed Uncle Sam can't keep it quiet.

    "The researchers conclude that "meta-analyses, as with other study types, are open to the influence of systematic bias."

    DUH!!!! Studies today are nothing more than marketing. As someone who has had training in research, don't even get me started!

    I'm not a pacifist, neither a warmonger. However, the nature of man is clear. Most artists are on the left side - live and let live. Dead people cannot receive art. When a soldier ie; "puppet of the warmongering regime in question" creates something, it has to reflect his experience. That is art. Bottom line, this song is a symptom. How do we treat it? With a band aid? Rap talks of drive bys all the time. Same type of environment = same type of people. WAR. It's ugly. So stop it.

    ...America gets all its energy just from those few wind turbines? Fantastic!

    I don't know about anyone else, but the strangely harmonized rend— uh...version of America the Beautiful gets on my nerves.

    The doctor may or may not know, or in most cases would probably only venture a guess. But that's beside the point. As journalists, the broadcaster's responsibility isn't to sell medical care, any more than it's a reporter's job to hawk cars or hamburgers. THey're trusted to give us as complete a picture of the subject as they can.

    They're supposed to be the go-between, giving us a well-investigated report on the subject including interviews with opposing voices and so on. That's why news outlets pay people (or at least USED to) to investigate and interview and ask probing questions and otherwise dig for information.

    Let's put it this way: If you have the time and the cash to do your own investigative work to determine whether or not the medical procedures you're deciding on are safe, then I'd say don't let the gurneys hit you on your way through the hospital. But I think news outlets put themselves in a position to be held to a higher standard.
