In this example of how uncompassionate government has become in the Police States of Amerika, the city of Salem, Oregon, shut down an unobtrusive yard sale Jan Cline has been holding every weekend in order to raise money to pay for her treatment for a rare form of bone marrow cancer. All the city bureaucrat could say to her was, “Sorry but it’s the law.” How disgusting have our governments become when a citizen is prevented from selling her own property in order to save her own life, due to bureaucratic regulations?

Hackers no longer scared of FBI
WASHINGTON - July 24, 2011 - Hacker groups Anonymous and LulzSec, which had 16 of their alleged members arrested last week in the United States by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, don't usually respond to statements written or made about them. But when the FBI's deputy assistant director gave an interview to National Public Radio saying those arrests send "a message that chaos on the Internet is unacceptable", the hacking collective erupted with a statement of its own:
“We are not scared anymore. Your threats to arrest us are meaningless (because) you cannot arrest an idea. Any attempt to do so will make your citizens more angry until they will roar in one gigantic choir. It is our mission to help these people and there is nothing - absolutely nothing - you can possibly to do make us stop,” said the group Anonymous.

Commentary: The Fourth of July
by Dennis Grover, American, in Independence
RENO, Nevada - July 4, 2011 - I live my life fully engulfed in joy. I live it that way because I created it that way and cannot imagine anything different. It is the Fourth of July, “Independence Day” and I have to ask; independent from what?
On this holiday I received more emails than usual exclaiming various degrees of ecstatic joy. Nevertheless, however I viewed one patriotic video with a variety of pictures of soldiers, Washington D.C. monuments and other familiar national treasures, it brought tears to my eyes, not because of the patriotic words and scenery, but because of what realities now lay behind them.
