Hi Everyone,
I've been posting at DailyKos lately, but I wanted to share this with all of you. I stumbled on this topic yesterday and I think it's worth sharing. It's a whole side of the financial world I never knew existed.

Ronald Reagan rode the Religious right to power, as did George Bush Sr. and Jr. From the Clinton era to two years ago, Congress was controlled by Republicans who rode into power on the same horse. The religious right faithfully voted for their party because . . .they had no place else to turn.
Having read DEFuning's article on Genetic Transmission of PTSD? I know that some of the concepts can be a little strange.

What we learn in school is that there are three branches of government: Congressional, Presidential and Judicial. In practice, we have a fourth branch of government which is comprised of a loose coalition of the super wealthy who use lobbying and campaign contributions to exert influence on the other three branches. Again, nothing new here.

Home Depot is like a dancing Bear. It is remarkable that it dances at all, but it doesn't dance very well. I am writing this because I have a lot of experience with Home Depot. I am a general contractor who specializes in Handyman type job. As a result, I am in and out of Home Depot at least a 100 times a year. I visit them up and down the San Francisco Peninsula from San Jose to almost San Francisco. (SF has no Home Depot.)
Have you ever tried to explain to anyone how the bad the media is at getting out the truth? Have you been met with glazed eyes and skeptical stares?
Here is an interesting example of the media's lack of interest in the truth:
I am writing a book and in the process, I needed to discover some facts about research into psychic abilities. My scant knowledge, like most people's went something like this:
