Important short video on aspartame --aimed at kids
Please pass this along to your e-mail list. I hope millions of kids/teens see it. Aspartame is a poisonous drug that is causing health problems for millions who are unaware of its damaging effects. It is contained in most "diet" products on the market -- and all "diet" soda drinks, including Diet Pepsi and Diet Coke. Link for the video clip: http://www.noticias.info/vid_w/video_play_ES.asp?Id=Eep3PJ--CzcFOR...

Readers' comments on KBR/toxin story
Dick Cheney, whose face and curled-lip sneer show the evil that lies within him, has created so much karma for himself in this incarnation, it will take him an eternity to clean his slate. The deaths, injuries, and illnesses of our troops sent off into an unnecessary war by Cheney and Bush are only a small part of their terrible deeds in the past...

Many are insisting Obama is not black
I've always thought of Obama as being the perfect combination of half white/half black to carry on in a Lincolnesque tradition. And he seems to be doing just that. We have never needed a president like Lincoln more than we do right now. Obama has many of the same qualities that Lincoln demonstrated: wisdom, thoughtfulness, compassion, reaching...
Obama left with little time to curb global warming
Never has an incoming president had more on his plate! I do believe Obama and the people he is appointing are up to the demanding tasks that are set before them.

Colin Powell Slams Sarah Palin
Too little, too late, Colin!......Why didn't you speak up when you were part of the Bush/Cheney debacle? Powell is trying to salvage his own image now. But it's too darn late. He will go down in history, tarnished, as part of the worst presidency to ever happen to America....
Colin Powell speaks sense to the Republican party
It's about time someone did! That party has been taken over by rednecks and fundamentalists. But their number is dwindling, as the minorities creep up to become the majority. Colin Powell knows this, and he and other of the intelligentsia of the party are plenty worried!http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/12/11/powell-gop-polarization-backfired-in-election/...

Great exchange between Jon Stewart and Mike Huckabee
I am cheering for Jon! He is absolutely accurate in his statements that being gay is NOT a choice. It makes Huckabee's arguments fizzle into the dust. Religious people claim to be loving, caring people. Yet they will deny the right to marry to gay couples, and put themselves as judge and jury against those who were born gay. I love it in this video...
