NEW YORK (PNN) - November 6, 2012 - Long gas station lines and empty gas pumps have plagued drivers across New York and New Jersey since superstorm Hurricane Sandy slammed into the east coast last Monday, leaving a gas shortage across the region.

Former New York Giant Michael Strahan recently appeared on Live! with Kelly and Michael. In an obvious attempt to promote the flu vaccine, host Kelly Ripa asks him whether he has gotten his flu shot yet. Strahan replies that he hasn’t had a flu shot in years and wouldn’t get one while he was in the NFL, and that he is in excellent health. Ripa appears somewhat unsure as to how to deal with such a candid response, especially since it runs counter to her efforts to promote the dangerous flu vaccine.

James Babb is Director of We Won’t Fly, an activist group seeking to educate people as to the dangers of allowing themselves to be moved through radioactive body scanners at airports. The group is staging a protest to have travelers opt out of body scanners in large enough numbers that they effectively shut down - or at least slow down - the processing of humans through airport security. He eloquently expounds on how people are not cattle to be ordered through procedures that could kill them.

In this fascinating video, activist Chris Duane of Sons of Liberty Academy presents an interesting proposition: to stop fighting the criminal political cabal and just remove yourself from existing society. He advocates each individual asserting his or her independence by no longer playing the political game. Citing Mahatma Gandhi’s nonviolent Revolution, he provides food for thought for an audience that is tired of banging its collective head against the immovable object of political and corporate greed and corruption.
