If we all looked up and wondered about the stars, we would realize that we are all in this together. And so, we are truly part of the One. That is true spirituality, which will never be found in any church, school, or institution.

The world's largest atom smasher – a giant scientific instrument that was designed to recreate the big bang but was broken by a piece of bread dropped by a passing bird. – has been repaired and scientists hope to restart it this weekend.
(Poor bird did that on purpose, to save us from these lunatics!)
"As a parent I'm not just competing with the movie in the movie theater, I am competing with the millions of advertising dollars that has inundated every nook and cranny of my daughter's life," she said.
It isn't sexual innuendo or violence that has parents worried. It's the all-consuming obsession that the main character Bella, played by Kristen Stewart, has for Pattinson's vampire Edward Cullen. For parents who want to raise self-confident girls who first and foremost love themselves, it is hard for them to stomach 18-year-old Bella's all-encompassing and self-destructive passion for Edward.
In the second installment of the series, Edward leaves Bella because he believes she is better off without him in her life. Bella is heartbroken, but discovers that the supernatural Edward appears before her when she is doing something dangerous or harmful to herself. This leads Bella to attempt cliff diving and dangerous motorcycle stunts that endanger her life.
"Washington (CNN) -- Federal prosecutors in Washington announced Friday they will dismiss a manslaughter charge against one of the Blackwater contractors charged in a high-profile shooting incident in Baghdad, Iraq, two years ago....
...The September 2007 shooting left 17 Iraqi civilians dead."
"Tyler County officials decided Friday to shut down the schools after more than 33 percent of students in the county's two elementary schools were absent with flu-like symptoms, said Dr. Thomas Gilligan, chief health officer with the Wetzel-Tyler Health Department."
"Swine flu shots became available yesterday for babies aged between 6 months and 1 year, and a health official said that day that babies can get vaccinated for both H1N1 and seasonal flu at the same time.
Lin Ting, deputy director-general of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) said the number of babies eligible for the vaccinations has been estimated at between 100,000 and 150,000.
This is with the shots available at 548 locations around the country, such as local county or city health departments and district health centers."
"...the vaccination has been in its full swing, especially since Premier Wen Jiabao called on, during his inspection visit to the Beijing Children's Hospital on Oct. 31, an energetic effort in fight against the virus by "encouraging the inoculation, but on a voluntary basis."
"The Black Death was one of the deadliest pandemics in human history, peaking in Europe between 1348 and 1350. It is widely thought to have been an outbreak of bubonic plague caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, but this view has recently been challenged. Usually thought to have started inCentral Asia, it had reached the Crimea by 1346 and from there, probably from black rats on merchant ships, it spread throughout the Mediterranean and Europe. The Black Death is estimated to have killed 30% to 60% of Europe's population, reducing the world's population from an estimated 450 million to between 350 and 375 million in 1400. This has been seen as creating a series of religious, social and economic upheavals which had profound effects on the course of European history. It took 150 years for Europe's population to recover. The plague returned at various times, resulting in a larger number of deaths, until it left Europe in the 19th century." - Wikipedia
"Pneumonic plague is one of three main forms of plague, all of which are caused by the bacteriumYersinia pestis. It is more virulent and rarer than bubonic plague. The difference between the versions of plague is simply the location of the infection. Pneumonic plague is an infection in the lung(s), bubonic plague is an infection of the buboes or lymph nodes, while septicemic plague is an infection in the blood stream.
Typically, pneumonic form is due to a secondary spread from advanced infection of an initial bubonic form. Primary pneumonic plague results from inhalation of fine infective droplets and can be transmitted from human to human without involvement of fleas or animals. Untreated pneumonic plague has a very high fatality rate." - Wikipedia

"We need to develop methods to get across the message that vaccines are safe and beneficial to society and we need to learn how to deal with the crazy people who are trying to stop us doing that." :
Author William Bramley finds out, after conducting extensive research on plagues throughout history, that strange anomalies occurred just prior to a pandemic. There happens to be a wealth of information and reports coming out of the black plague concerning strange beings and flying discs.
I am saying that the Black Plague/Pneumonic Plague/Swine Flu mutation was created in a lab, using advanced technology. This is certainly not something that grows on trees in a forest or jumps out of a pig pen in Mexico. I believe the same can be said for AIDS and Ebola.
"The 20th century is the only period during the past 200 millennia in which aquatic indicators reflect increased warming, despite the declining effect of slow changes in the tilt of the Earth's axis which, under natural conditions, would lead to climatic cooling."
"Prof. Greenberg finds that because Europa has so many open cracks on its outer ice shell that surface oxygen would be delivered down into Europa’s ocean at such a rate the water could have a hundred times more oxygen than originally expected. Prof. Greenberg thinks the concentrations of oxygen could be great enough to support both microorganisms and perhaps even larger sea creatures!"
