Just Peanuts: Profits Before People

Salmonella found at Ga. plant as early as 2006 Owner Stewart Parnell refused to testify at hearing; 9 have now died See the jar, the congressman challenged Stewart Parnell, holding up a container of the peanut seller's products and asking if he'd dare eat them. Parnell pleaded the Fifth. The owner of the peanut company at the heart of the massive salmonella recall refused to answer the lawmaker's questions — or any others — Wednesday about the bacteria-tainted products he defiantly told employees to ship to some 50 manufacturers of cookies, crackers and ice cream. "Turn them loose," Parnell had told his plant manager in an internal e-mail disclosed at the House hearing. The e-mail referred to products that once were deemed contaminated but were cleared in a second test last year. Summoned by congressional subpoena, the owner of Peanut Corp. of America repeatedly invoked his right not to incriminate himself at the House Energy and Commerce subcommittee hearing on t...

Obama = Sociopath? You Decide.

I remember asking my late therapist a couple years ago, "am I just imagining I see pathological types around every corner?" She reassured me that she'd known me for 13 years then -- knew I had my head screwed on fairly straight; except for having a pathological parent which made me suseptible to narcissistic & sociopath types -- and that I probably was seeing, at least "the behaviors" of these kinds of people. The fact that I had experienced serious trauma because of one just a few years prior -- made me "hypervigilant" and she assured me, it was a good thing. She also told me my high intelligence was a good thing because I would now "pick apart things that set my alarm bells off. " This is one of the big reasons I simply cannot warm up to Obama. Knowing what I have learned about pathologicals -- he fits far too much of the profile for me. Sure, a lot of politicians do, but this isn't even the same man he was a month ago when Hi...

OLMERT LACKS MORAL AUTHORITY When your own military turns on you, time to leave the dance. Hint, hint... Reserve soldiers say Olmert 'lacks moral authority', must resign 'Prime minister lacks the moral authority to send us out to battle again,' soldier who took part in Lebanon war says. His comrades say Israel should focus on returning kidnapped soldiers home by Rony Lifshitz Despite the release of a generally critical report on Wednesday that endorsed key decisions Ehud Olmert took during the 2006 war in Lebanon, a group of reserve soldiers who took part in the campaign are calling in him to resign, while others contend that Israel should now focus on returning kidnapped IDF soldiers Eldad Regev, Ehud Goldwasser and Gilad Shalit.

"The prime minister lacks the moral authority to send us out to battle again....

Instability, Chaos, Violence Born of Unstable, Irresponsible, and Dangerous Leaders In light of current events I felt these to articles went together... like peas in an 'article' pod. And one of the most profound quotes I have read recently is in the second article. It refers to physical wounds but I know for a fact it applies to mental & emotional wounds as well: Your body forms a cocoon, so it will always be part of you, but it won't hurt. Yes, whatever has happened to us and to them - will always be a part of all of us. by Christopher Brauchli Blessings are upon the head of the just; but violence Covereth the mouth of the wicked. -The Proverbs In his April 21 radio address to the nation (inspired by the violence at Virginia Tech earlier in the week) George Bush announced that he has directed federal officials to conduct a national inquiry into how to prevent violence by dangerously unstable people. It is a worthy endeavor. The news from Darfur (as well as...
