Wired News: “We’re headed toward an era when human beings will be casually ‘enhanced’ with higher IQ’s, better looks and longer lives. In a new book, Bill McKibben explains why designer babies could be a very bad thing. By David Gelernter from Wired magazine.

We as humans have become awfully arrogant. God makes each person unique. (Psalm 139) We shouldn’t be manipulating our own genes. The techniques to guarantee smarter children or better-looking children will require the creation and death of countless embryos before the desired child is “conceived.” That’s just plain wrong.

Freedom’s Source


[Victory]

I received this poem about soldiers from the Traditional Values Coalition. I’d like to share it with you.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press.

It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.

It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.

It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial.

It is the soldier, who salutes the flag… who serves under the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag…who allows the protester to burn the flag.

Were it not for the brave…there would be no land of the free.

Author Unknown

Our brave soldiers deserve our deepest thanks and admiration for their
willingness to fight and to die for the freedoms we possess here in the
United States—including freedom of the press!

Next time you see some dumbonstrators, remind them of this little gem.

1st Step Toward Safety

Pilots Get Firearms Training; Could Fly with Guns Sunday

CNSNews.com: “A volunteer group of airline pilots got a lesson how to defend themselves with a firearm, and those who pass the course at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Glynco, Ga., will be able to fly with guns as early as Sunday.

Finally! Even after Congress made it a rule, the TSA didn’t want to train pilots. The anti-gun folks there resisted at every turn. Pilots deserve the right to protect themselves and their passengers with lethal force if necessary. This is the first thing the TSA has done since 9/11 that makes me feel safer in the air. Why did it take almost 2 years?

No Such Thing as ADHD

Some Experts Doubt Existence of ADHD

CNSNews.com: “ Australia is grappling with the debate over attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and the drugging of children diagnosed with it. One U.S. doctor says there is no proof ADHD exists at all. Australia is one of several countries to follow the U.S. trend over recent decades. U.S. psychologist Dr. Bob Jacobs told the Youth Affairs Network Queensland conference that doctors and pharmaceutical companies had turned behavioral problems in children into a disorder. He voiced concern that misdiagnoses resulted in youngsters being prescribed powerful drugs like Ritalin, which may affect their long-term mental and physical development. In a radio interview afterwards, Jacobs – who is on the advisory board of the International Center for the Study of Psychiatry and Psychology – said his conclusions had been made as a result of his own observations during many years in practice, working with children and families.

I’m glad to see some scientists are starting to doubt the lies told by the drug companies. You know how the ADHD diagnoses was invented? A bunch of drug company execs were sitting around a room saying, how can we sell this drug? They came up with a new “disease” which has no clear diagnosis.
