“[State controlled] education is a weapon, whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.” – Joseph Stalin

"[I]f you serve a child a rotten hamburger in America, federal, state, and local agencies will investigate you, summon you, close you down, whatever.  But if you provide a child with a rotten education, nothing happens, except that you're liable to be given more money to do it with."

--Ronald Reagan

“Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.” - Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870-1924)

Something Fishy About Louisville Riverfront Arena Proposal

By Theresa Fritz Camoriano

As I have listened to the arguments about where to locate a proposed sports arena in Louisville, I have begun to smell something very fishy along the riverfront.  The LG&E site, across the street from the Ohio River, would cost $114 million dollars more than the water company site, which is three blocks farther south, largely because it would require moving the LG&E electric transmission station across a street – roughly 30 yards, which would cost over $63 million.  It also would require building a flood wall, since it is in the flood plain.  The Arena Authority (a group of people appointed by the governor and mayor) has recommended the much more expensive LG&E site, but the reasons that have been given so far just do not hold water.             (click here to read more)

The emerging 'uncivil' society       by Henry Lamb

Hundreds of thousands of people poured into the streets last week to oppose legislation designed to stop or reduce illegal immigration.

Governments Restrict Access to Healthcare and Prevent Medicine Development: major new report.

A View On The Immigration Problem        By Theresa Fritz Camoriano

As the granddaughter of immigrants from Italy and the wife of an immigrant from Honduras, I have a perspective on the current immigration problems that might differ from yours.  I am sympathetic to people who are just trying to make a better life for themselves and their families, and I understand that a country needs to control its borders in order to control its security.               (click here to read more)

Making bumpy budgetary roads smoother         By Joel Peyton

Like traffic reduced to one lane, politicians appear to have a single solution for meeting Kentucky’s transportation demands. “If we just had more revenue, we could get these bridges built and roads fixed,” they clamor.              (click here to read more)

National brawl over subsidies       by Greg LeRoy

A national brawl has broken out over subsidies to big-box retail. Except this time it’s not anti-sprawl activists protesting Wal-Mart. Instead, it’s the #3 outdoor sporting goods retailer ratting on #1 and #2. Check out www.sayno2outdoorsretailsubsidies.com               (click here to read more)

UK, Joseph Beth, the Heraldo-Liberal, and Nancy Barron Welcome a Traitor;   Major Mark A. Smith, ex-POW, Vietnam, Responds         By Jeff “Mario” Smith, Guerilla Reporter

The Bluegrass Festival of Books on April 29, 2006, from 9 – 5, in Lexington, KY is touted as a time to meet “your favorite authors”. I did not see any of my favorite authors listed, and was immediately struck in awe at the name of one particular “author”. She is referred to in the literature as one jane fonda. Patriotic Americans know her as ”hanoi jane” and don’t consider her an author, but rather a traitor.              (click here to read more)

Terry’s Tidbits       by Terry Gray

Still Fear Arab Terrorists?

In the first  place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith  becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on  an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate  against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American.  There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language.. And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people." --Theodore Roosevelt 1907
