OK, Libertarians: The Assault Rifle They Want To Ban

Ruger-1022.jpghttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruger_10/22 

It’s…the Hippie teen hunting weapon they once brought to school.

Don’t laugh. They’re already telling you the real agenda: An East Coast mayor appeared on MSNBC claiming all firearms were “Weapons of Mass Destruction” that should be banned ( except for officials, natch, thus creating an exclusively armed aristocracy–the definition of feudalism…) while many extreme conservative pundits wax apoplectic and demand ‘violent’ shows be forbidden to boot. So find what many Libertarians know in this  informative article on a great weapon in many US homes, and additional links below…NEVERMIND hysterical officials that are ignoring that:

"I'm an atheist; I suppose you can call me a sort of libertarian anarchist. I regard religion with fear and suspicion. It's not enough to say that I don't believe in God.

Uh-Oh: UK To Ban Teaching Of Life-Extending, Patient-Driven Complementary Medicine

Anna Tyzack

Photo: Controversialist Anna Tyzack says alternative treatments put her on the right track as she exercised, gave up caffeine addiction, and started to realize health was part of a system not just some pill.

27 programs have been shut down–The glorious UK, once a pioneer, now under a right-wing government says things like the benefits of stress-reducing acupuncture( or regular) massage, not putting poisons or allergy-inducing foods in one’s body,  Osteopathic adjustment massage and ending self-defeating habits–or those seeking to e.g.  research the remedies of Chinese and tribal systems– to induce healing long accepted in the US are not ‘evidence-based’ and will be banned from universities–so say the officials whose ‘model’ health system is enmeshed in a scandal as coercive government ‘evidence-based doctors’–woefully undertrained by US standards to save money– misdiagnose fatal cancers as blemishes, prescribe aspirin for raging infections, and euthanize troublesome oldsters who dare to complain. Hmmm…dare we suggest–a user-driven, voluntary, universal, endowment based, free to the poor automatic  system with choice of providers run by unions as one possibility?…(See down our wall scientific knowledge by public in UK, bless ‘em) …Let the fur fly high!

In 2004 NASA officals signaled a informal understanding, said Lib leaders. Now at last NASA has announced after years of meetings behind the scenes it will push for such scientific space stations.
