    A woman with a petition went among the crowds attending a state fair, asking people to sign her petition demanding the banning of dihydroxymonoxide. She said it was in our lakes and streams, and now it was in our sweat and urine and tears. She collected hundreds of signatures to ban dihydroxymonoxide — a fancy chemical name for water. A couple of comedians were behind this ploy. But there is nothing funny about its implications. It is one of the grim and dangerous signs of our times. This little episode revealed how conditioned we have become, responding like Pavlov's dog...

    POLITICIANS in the former British colony of Virginia are starting to wake up to the fact that its government is about to sign a secret treaty called the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) that will give sweeping powers to the movie and music businesses to lock up filesharers. Two US senators are not happy about allowing the government to sign such a treaty, which is so secret that hardly anyone knows about it and the entertainment cartels have the right to send death squads around to the houses of people who are in the know but shouldn't be [you made the...

    A myth exploded By INQUIRER staff: Tuesday 30 March 2004, 07:11 RESEARCH APPEARS to back up what teenagers have been saying for years - file sharing is not stuffing the music industry. A study conducted jointly by researchers from Harvard Business School and the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, has found that in 2002 music sales were unaffected by the increase in file sharing, and the industry may have even benefited from it. Researchers looked at data from file-sharing services was used and 1.75 million downloads during a 17-week period in 2002. They said that while there were a...

    DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- There's a topless protest being planned this weekend in Daytona Beach, at the end of Bike Week. Liz Book of Ormond Beach is among the organizers. She hopes to lead a thousand "top-free" women and men along a half-mile of Main Street from the pier to the bridge. The goal is to add Daytona Beach to the small but growing list of places that allow women to show their breasts openly, just like men. Even if only two people join her protest, she plans to still go through with it. City officials and police are mostly...

    Take all American women who are within five years of menopause - train us for a few weeks, outfit us with automatic weapons, grenades, gas masks, moisturizer with SPF15, Prozac, hormones, chocolate, and canned tuna - drop us (parachuted, preferably) across the landscape of Afghanistan, and let us do what comes naturally. Think about it. Our anger quotient alone, even when doing standard stuff like grocery shopping and paying bills, is formidable enough to make even armed men in turbans tremble. We've had our children, we would gladly suffer or die to protect them and their future. We'd like to ...

    WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. –– A jury convicted a 14-year-old boy of second-degree murder Wednesday for shooting his English teacher, rejecting a more serious charge that could have put him in prison for life. Nathaniel Brazill had insisted that the shooting of popular English teacher Barry Grunow, 35, on the last day of school a year ago was an accident. The teen, an honor roll student without any previous criminal record, faces 25 years to life in prison on the second-degree murder count. He was also convicted of aggravated assault. © Copyright 2001 The Associated Press

    TALLAHASSEE, Florida (CNN) -- The Florida Secretary of State's office is expected to soon certify the state's presidential ballots -- one week after a still-contested election that will give the presidency to the victor. The secretary of state's expected certification numbers -- which are certain to be altered with the inclusion of incoming overseas absentee ballots at the end of week -- topped a frenetic day across the Sunshine State that saw furious activity in the courts, and in the back-and-forth struggle between Republicans and Democrats for a favorable public opinion. The deadline for certification of Florida's vote passed ...

    Bush Wins Presidency Tuesday, November 7, 2000 By Matt Gross&nbsp;&nbsp; George W. Bush has won one of the closest presidential races in history, according to Fox News Channel projections. Just after 2 a.m. ET, Fox News projected that the Texas governor had taken Florida, whose 25 electoral votes put him over the critical 269-vote mark. Gore officials said they would contest the Florida results. The desperate battle for the Sunshine State &#151; just one of dozens of contests that came down to a minuscule margin &#151; was almost decided earlier Tuesday night, when many news organizations declared Vice President ...

Tuesday November 7, 2000; 9:37 AM ET Jesse Jackson Jr. Says Church Politicking 'Supersedes the Law' It may be against federal election law to campaign in church. But for Democrats seeking to get out the vote in minority districts, politicking from the pulpit has become indispensable. In the last days of this year's campaign, Vice President Al Gore, Senate candidate Hillary Clinton and her husband have all made regular appearances at African-American and Hispanic churches. Even when parishioners objected to Mrs. Clinton campaigning from the altar at a Rochester, ...

    A high-ranking U.S. Navy officer has confirmed WorldNetDaily's Aug. 23 report that President Bill Clinton wanted to lower the American flag beneath the level of Vietnam's flag during a planned trip to the Southeast Asian country before he leaves office. One of WND's more controversial reports in recent months, the exclusive story by reporter Geoff Metcalf had two parts: One, that the president was secretly planning a trip to Southeast Asia after the November election but before the end of his term, and two, that he planned to have a U.S. Navy ship, with him onboard, lower its flag -- ...
