If Atkins
Doesn't Work
Atkins is an
effective diet
for many people,
but a large
number lose
weight--and then
put it right
back on. One
reason:
glucose
intolerance
, the epidemic
precursor to
diabetes. The
Velocity "Last
Diet Ever" is
the cure--and
it works when
all others fail.
What are school
textbooks
teaching our
kids?
Anything?
Good Lord, have
you read a high
school history
book lately? Or
a book on social
studies, or
government? If
not, you’re in
for a shock.
Read this essay
to learn why our
schools are
turning out
illiterates
faster than we
can throw more
money at them--
and what you
(yes, YOU) can
do about it.

NY Times
Photo Bias?
This startling
analysis of the
44 photos of
Bush & Kerry
published in the
NY Times
in the month of
May, 2004,
reveals the
Times' true
colors. (But,
see
the photo-analysis
for the month of
August.
WOW--the Times
did a complete
about-face!
While still
favoring Kerry
with quantity,
the times
actually
published
equally good and
bad photos of
both
candidates--so
the
photographic
bias issue seems
to have been
brought under
control.) __________________________________________

The Threatened
Citizen: The
Pros and Cons of
Concealed
Weapons Carry
With many
States
liberalizing the
issuance of
"concealed
carry"
permits--permits
to allow
civilians to
carry
handguns--many
of us may be
considering
obtaining such a
permit in order
to be able to
protect
ourselves.
The upside
seems plain
enough: No
more Mr. Nice
Guy when
threatened by a
street thug, and
woe to anyone
deciding that
your television
set is just what
he needs to
complete his
room decor.
The down side
is--well what IS
the downside
anyway?
This essay
addresses that
question--a
question that
has been far too
often
passed-over unconsciously
by pro-gun
writers who fear
that under the
onslaught of
anti-gun
sentiment,
mentioning
anything
negative about
gun ownership is
somehow
tantamount to
giving
ammunition to
the enemy. But
to avoid the
issue is merely
taking
"ammunition"
(knowledge) away
from those who
most need
it--the
threatened
citizen. Read
it

FORBIDDEN
KNOWLEDGE
There is a
raft of
knowledge,
know-how and
specialized
expertise in the
world whose very
existence goads
the
establishment to
punish, ban,
ignore or
ridicule it.
This "forbidden
knowledge" is
not a collection
of screw-ball
claims of
homeopathy, ESP,
alien abduction
or the lost
inventions of
Nikola Tesla,
but strangely
unpopular ideas
and inconvenient
facts. This is a
listing of such
claims and
facts,
accumulated over
the years.
Readers are
invited to send
their own claims
to
thosholzel@aol.com
for inclusion in
this on-going
listing. But
no patent
nonsense will be
printed (except
my own).

SETI?
"... I cannot see why
the discovery of
extraterrestrial life
would any longer be such
a prodigious deal.
Fascinating, certainly,
but not miraculous; and
certainly not (in
Goodwin and Gribbin's
words) "arguably ... the
most profound discovery
in the entire history of
human civilization"'.
What, more than that of
mayonnaise?"
So writes James
Hamilton-Paterson in the
London Review of
Books.
Just what is the Search
for Extra-Terrestrial
Intelligence--science or
religion? Here are
three opinions,
including a trenchant
affirmation of the faith
by H. Paul Shuch,
Ph.D., Executive
Director The SETI
League, Inc.
