Yahoo! News - Suspected Maoists behead man, crush legs of eight in Nepal: police: "Suspected Maoists behead man, crush legs of eight in Nepal: police"
CIA - The World Factbook -- Nepal: "Reforms in 1990 established a multiparty democracy within the framework of a constitutional monarchy. A Maoist insurgency, launched in 1996, has gained traction and is threatening to bring down the regime. In 2001, the Crown Prince massacred ten members of the royal family, including the king and queen, and then took his own life. In October 2002, the new king dismissed the prime minister and his cabinet for 'incompetence' after they dissolved the parliament and were subsequently unable to hold elections because of the ongoing insurgency. The country is now governed by the king and his appointed cabinet, which has negotiated a cease-fire with the Maoist insurgents until elections can be held at some unspecified future date. "

How to Cure Health Care: "II. Why third-party payment?
Two simple observations are key to explaining both the high level of spending on medical care and the dissatisfaction with that spending. The first is that most payments to physicians or hospitals or other caregivers for medical care are made not by the patient but by a third party - an insurance company or employer or governmental body. The second is that nobody spends somebody else's money as wisely or as frugally as he spends his own. These statements apply equally to other OECD countries. They do not by themselves explain why the United States spends so much more than other countries."

From Newsweek, May 1, 1972
'The reign of tears is over. The slums will soon be only a memory. We will turn our prisons into factories and our jails into storehouses and comcribs. Men will walk upright now, women will smile, and the children will laugh. Hell will be forever for rent.'
That is how Billy Sunday, the noted evangelist and leading crusader against Demon Rum, greeted the onset of Prohibition in early 1920. We know now how tragically his hopes were doomed. New prisons and jails had to be built to house the criminals spawned by converting the drinking of spirits into a crime against the state. Prohibition undermined respect for the law, corrupted the minions of the law, created a decadent moral climate-but did not stop the consumption of alcohol.
Despite this tragic object lesson, we seem bent on repeating precisely the same mistake in the handling of drugs. "

"What countries have legal prostitution?": "Eleanor Roosevelt's 'Call For Decriminalization' was adopted by 50 nations but not her own! When Eleanor Roosevelt read a convention paper on sex-work to the United Nations in 1949, she added herself to the list of endorsers of a prostitutes' rights movement which would fight on for decades to come. Her call for the decriminalization of prostitution was ratified by more than 50 countries -- ironically, her own 'free' country did not number among them -- whose leaders undoubtedly recognized not only the vast waste of resources necessary to punish prostitutes, but also that the rights of all women are contingent upon the rights of those most vulnerable in society."

Mein Kampf: "...The Jewish doctrine of Marxism rejects the aristocratic principle of Nature and replaces the eternal privilege of power and strength by the mass of numbers and their dead weight. Thus it denies the value of personality in man, contests the significance of nationality and race, and thereby withdraws from humanity the premise of its existence and its culture. As a foundation of the universe, this doctrine would bring about the end of any order intellectually conceivable to man. And as, in this greatest of all recognizable organisms, the result of an application of such a law could only be chaos, on earth it could only be destruction for the inhabitants of this planet.
If, with the help of his Marxist creed, the Jew is victorious over the other peoples of the world, his crown will be the funeral wreath of humanity and this planet will, as it did thousands of years ago, move through the ether devoid of men.
Eternal Nature inexorably avenges the infringement of her commands.
Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord [p. 60]." "... hear it from the original ..."

Our Votes, Our Guns: Robert Mugabe and the Tragedy of Zimbabwe: "This is a super-readable book about the career of Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe, whose corruption, brutality, and paranoia have wrecked Zimbabwes democratic institutions and have brought the country to the brink of economic ruin. The book is refreshingly free of cant, and the author has a sharp eye for political grotesqueries, which have abounded in post-independence Zimbabwe. My only complaint (and hence the rating of 4 stars) is the lack of footnotes or any real analysis of the social or economic currents underlying Zimbabwean politics. Instead, journalist Meredith is content to chronicle events newspaper-style. "
Update: Inconceivable!: "And the award for the most whacked-out commentary on the terrorist attacks goes to ... WorldNetDaily's Anthony LoBaido, whose Sept. 13 article starts off by declaring 'America has killed over 500,000 Iraqi children under the age of 5 years old with our anti-Saddam sanctions' and proceeds to make the argument that America deserved to be attacked and suffer massive loss of life. Why? LoBaido enlightens us:
All that is evil in the world can be found in New York: MTV, the United Nations, the U.N. abortion programs, the Council on Foreign Relations, New Age Church of St. John the Divine, WallStreet greed, Madison Avenue manipulation and of course more confirmed AIDS cases than the rest of America combined. Let's remember the filthy sodomite gay parade last summer in New York.
LoBaido earns extra points for his reference to 'the openly Marxist, treasonous and abortion-mongering, occultic Hillary.'"

But Tehran said it welcomed international supervision of the building program and said it would not use the devices to enrich uranium - for the time being. The process can make uranium into fuel for peaceful or military nuclear purposes."

Jerry Falwell: " Falwell's revulsion sometimes manifests itself in bizarre, nearly paranoid, ways. In 1999 he published an article in his National Liberty Journal entitled 'Tinky Winky Comes Out of the Closet.' The piece focused on disturbing clues that one of the characters in the hit children's show Teletubbies was designed to promote the gay lifestyle:
Now, further evidence that the creators of the series intend for Tinky Winky to be a gay role model have surfaced. He is purple -- the gay-pride color; and his antenna is shaped like a triangle -- the gay-pride symbol.
When the mainstream media ridiculed Falwell for analyzing the sexual politics of a show aimed at pre-schoolers, Jerry responded that he didn't understand how people could miss the subtext. He contended that gay periodicals had been discussing Tinky Winky's sexual orientation for quite some time. Falwell simply couldn't grasp that the gay community's embrace of the character had been tongue-in-cheek"

CNN.com - Falwell apologizes to gays, feminists, lesbians - September 14, 2001: "LYNCHBURG, Virginia (CNN) -- The Rev. Jerry Falwell said late Thursday he did not mean to blame feminists, gays or lesbians for bringing on the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington this week, in remarks on a television program earlier in the day.
On the broadcast of the Christian television program 'The 700 Club,' Falwell made the following statement:
'I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America. I point the finger in their face and say 'you helped this happen.''
Falwell, pastor of the 22,000-member Thomas Road Baptist Church, viewed the attacks as God's judgment on America for 'throwing God out of the public square, out of the schools. The abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked.' "

?4???: "�D'Annunzio non incarna lo stereotipo come si e' sempre detto del padre padrone che schiacciava sotto il tallone le sue amanti�, osserva la studiosa: �Tutto al contrario. Per esempio, disprezzava l'idea della madre e sposa esemplare sbandierata dal fascismo. Alle sue partner chiedeva di essere soprattutto indipendenti. Preferiva la donna amazzone, la frequentatrice di bar, l'indipendente capace di vivere sola, di guadagnare. Innovatore in tutti i campi, da quello linguistico a quello letterario, fu un precursore della modernita' anche nel suo ideale femminile�."
