IS IT POSSIBLE TO SURVIVE CANCER? Anne Nelson`s remarkable story.

When did you learn of your cancer and what was the diagnosis/prognosis?

In late March 2004, I had been suffering some mild headaches, nothing to speak of, some forgetfulness, mild depression and dizziness.

Policies For Agmates Discussion

Hi Agmates, here are ten areas of discussion for us to start with. A great big meaty bone to chew on. Enjoy!

TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR AUSTRALIAN POLICY MAKERS?

1 Taxation:

• Immediate start on implementation of the TRANSACTION TAX model, understanding that a tax rate of 1.5% will collect as much tax as the whole of the rag-tag taxation regime collects now, but eliminate most of the infrastructure needed to collect it, and reduce costs of bureaucracy, tax evasion and… Continue

`WAR OF THE WORLDS` by ORSON RUD*.

`WAR OF THE WORLDS`

by ORSON RUD*.

An elderly gentleman said recently that he remembered the wireless play `War of the worlds` and how it caused mass panic, with people rushing to get out of cities etc.
He also said he got very frightened by the play and that the `War of the worlds` play is nothing compared to what he`s watching our Government do today!

ETS – to have or not to have?

FRANK BRENMUHL

THE clamour from the different organisations and political parties calling for action on the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) lacks balance and reason.

Save farmers from Great Barrier Reef swindle

Recent media outbursts that the Great Barrier Reef faces catastrophic danger from climate change and ocean acidification are based on piggybacking a fraud on top of a fraud.

A message from my share broker friend...

I am a financial planner by day (and author of Political Guts by night), and as such, I have developed a friendship, albeit a rather unusual one, with the guy who handles our clients' share portfolios. He has some very strong opinions, perhaps another reason why I like him, and this was in an email from him today. I read it, then read it again, and deep within, I found a huge amount of sense! Enjoy!

Dollar at 86 cents , Oil 64 usd per barrel . So why are we paying $ 1.26 a litre for petrol . Now when the price of oil started to rise the oil companies said that we would pay one cent per litre for every Dollar the barrel of oil went up .

Four Corners, ABC TV - Clean Coal Technology.

Tonight, Monday 7th September at 8.30 pm, ABC1 showed a program on the realities of Clean Coal technology. If you didn't see it, Tuesday night, tomorrow, it's on at 11.35 pm and it's worth watching. I might even watch it again. Very interesting.

It opened with the statement that coal burning produces 30% (or whatever) of the world's polluting greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide. Not off to a great start, Aunty! Never mind, we persist.

It talked of the political backroom deals… Continue
