So what’s the deal with Gardasil? That depends who you ask. Big Pharma would have you believe that apart from so-called vaccines like Gardasil your children are at serious risk of cancer and so forth. The truth of the matter, however, is quite another story.
Fortunately, more and more people are becoming more and more aware of the dangers of Big Pharma (as well as other Big Corporations). Whereas “TV said it was ok” seemed a good enough justification in the past for writing off so many things as “conspiracy theories,” each day we are witnessing an increase in the number of news reports, even from the main-stream media, either warning of the dangers or reporting the outcomes of such things as new “vaccines,” genetically modified food and more. It seems that the crazy people who warned us of such dangers were on to something.
Instead of laying out the dangers of Gardasil for you here, I am going to point you towards a couple of people who have been working hard to shine the light on this atrocious and even criminal behavior. Below are some links for Mercola.com and NaturalNews.com. Both of these are great resources and I would encourage you to keep an eye on each of them. Follow the links below and be sure to check out the related links they offer.
(You may be asked to sign up for the Mercola articles in which case it’s up to you. I have never had a problem with spam from Mercola and his newsletter has turned out to be one of the few I actually check out every time it comes. If you are hesitent to give out your email, just go sign up for a new email to use only for such things. You should do that anyway and only provide the information you want to provide when signing up for that new email address. Gmail from google gets the job done.)
These are just a handful of the tragic stories and dire warnings surrounding Gardasil as well as many other vaccines. Get your google out and do some investigating of your own. This is serious stuff.
Big Pharma is rearing its ugly head in the Great White North.
A new law, C-51, which seeks to outlaw up to 60% of natural health products sold in Canada, is being pushed by the major pharmaceutical companies (as if that’s surprising). Follow the link below to read the whole story, then spend some time browsing Natural News for a ton of great information. This is a site that you need to visit regularly.

Have you heard of Make Magazine or the Maker Faire? What about Instructables? If not, then check them out now.
Maker Magazine touts itself as the first magazine devoted entirely to DIY (Do It Yourself) projects and their Make Faire is an awesome two-day family friendly event in the San Francisco Bay area celebrating the DIY lifestyle. But don’t think of it as a home and garden show or even a cool gadgets showcase. It is a tinkerers paradise and a great place to both catch a glimpse into the future and race evil looking power tools.
Instructables is more of the same. It is an online treasure trove of DIY projects and fun activities. Fun to read and even more fun to do.
Just thought you might enjoy that. Have fun. Til next time!
Well, the book, that is. I am excited to say that I received my first two copies of Ron Paul’s new book, The Revolution: A Manifesto yesterday and I am already digging in, despite having about five other books that I am required to read asap!
I will not go on and on right now. I will only say this: You need to read this book. I don’t care who you are or what you believe, you need to read this book.
If you support Dr. Paul, then read it to further support him and refine your understanding of the R3volution. You will come away motivated and equipped to continue the struggle.
If you are not familiar with Dr. Paul, then you owe it to yourself to see what he is all about. Try to lay aside your presuppositions and preconceived notions (as much as one may) and come at this fresh in order to truly understand it.
If you are an enemy of the R3evolution (and shame on you) then you must read this book so that your arguments are not in vain and are directed fairly and properly at what Dr. Paul believes and not what someone else says he believes (Main-Stream Media would be a perfect example).
Seriously, if I find myself in another Ron Paul debate with someone who receives his information from Faux News, CNN or the New York Times again I will….I am gonna… well, I will kindly ask them to read the primary sources and then come back and talk to me. : )
I said I would not go on and on right now, and I won’t, though I am having to purse my lips as I write this.
YAY!: Lakers Win! Avalanche Win! Angels Win Series Against Mariners!
BOO!: Ducks Lose.

RON PAUL IS COMING TO TOWN! Well, if you live in San Diego, that is. And fortunately, we live close enough!
The San Diego Meetup group has announced that Ron Paul will be signing his new book, The Revolution: A Manifesto, at Balboa Park on Friday, May 23, at 6:00pm. An exact location has not been determined yet, but we are assured that all systems are go. Alison, I and the kids will be there in our Ron Paul duds, hootin’, hollarin’ and generally carrying on for Ron and hopefully getting our books signed and maybe even having some pictures taken. Of course, if they allow hugs, I will have to be pried away from Dr. Paul as well.
When I get more specific information, I will try to post it here.
If you have not ordered the book, get on with it! There is a link in the sidebar.
Things have been busy around the Morrow household, to say the least. And to be completely honest, I have not been all that enthusiastic about posting to the blog. I am finding that I am simply not able to do the things I really want to do at the moment, and the subsequent frustration is keeping me from doing other things that I am capable of doing (or at least trying). This being the case, we will just have to wait and see how things evolve here at BTFOG.
For now, here is what I’m up to.
Books I’m Reading:
Four Views on Salvation in a Pluralistic Society (or something like that). Actually, I have not started reading it yet, but I have to start soon. It’s for class. Unfortunately, I am not entirely interested in the topic at the moment - or I should say, I am more interested in other topics right now. Regardless, I better dig in soon.
Shedd’s Dogmatic Theology. A great theology, but again, for class, and I am not yet looking forward to this readings accompanying assignment. Oh well.
Who Moved the Stone by Frank Morrison. Classic defense of the resurrection by the one-time atheist. Almost 80 years old now (the book, that is) and still kickin, I am using it as part of a larger research project. Stay tuned.
A handful of other resurrection works.
Family Driven Faith by Voddie Baucham. Very good book I come back to from time to time. Recommended.
A Foreign Policy of Freedom by Ron Paul. Basically, I am just reading this again as I wait anxiously for Dr. Paul’s new book, The Revolution, to come out. Have you pre-ordered yours yet?
A bunch of reference works.
Mere Christianity. There are so many incredible bite-seized pieces of brilliance in that book, it should be read and reread.
Sites I am keeping an eye on:
http://www.americanvision.org/garyblog/. While Gary and I have finally found something to disagree on (let’s just say it’s partially political) for the most part, I nearly always enjoy reading Gary’s take on things. He and his staff do a good job of coming up with new and varied yet relevant topics to post about every day or two.
http://gobabymorrow.blogspot.com/. Yes. It’s my wife’s baby blog. Honestly, I regularly read something on there I didn’t know about. Besides that, I love to read my wife’s thoughts on just about anything.
http://www.chuckbaldwinlive.com/. A good resource for the libertarian, constitutional leaning Christian. Take the time to dig through the article archives.
http://www.diigo.com/. I finally found the tool I have been looking for. If you want the ability to make persistent notes and highlights on Web pages, have access to your bookmarks from any computer, and a ton of other things, check out Diggo. I am actually hoping to write up an entire post dedicated to Diggo in the near future. Check it out.
Anything related to the Lakers, Angels, Ducks and Avalanche.
A handful of other things that I don’t have time to write about now because my daughter Abby just woke up and it’s time to get fatherin’.
I had a few other things to share, but they will have to wait. Abby calls.
When you get a chance, head over to the Recommended section to learn about one great book and a couple of good films.
A Nation of Sheep by Judge Andrew Napolitano will give you the intriguing, maddening and often frightening details of what happens when a government assumes too much control. This is the perfect book for people who have a tendency to label just about everything as a conspiracy theory or who take Fox News or CNN as gospel. Coming from a Fox News host and regular contributor, it packs an unexpected punch, from a guy who cannot be labeled a conspiracy nut. The book is entertaining, informative and a quick read.
Why We Fight and No End In Sight may prove a bit more controversial at first, but are important and necessary films and will help to give you “the other side of the story.” These can’t be written off as mere “Bush Hate” or Left Wing propaganda. These are stories from the soldiers, Iraqi people and high level US government personnel who dared to question the motives, plans and execution of the so-called “War on Terror.”
All of these will move you and get you thinking. Regardless of where you are in the discussion, these resources will prove invaluable.
Obviously, I have not had much opportunity to write lately. Honestly, I have no idea when I will get back into the swing of things. I do have a good reason though. In fact, I have a couple of good reasons.
Penny or PJ or Penny Jane or Penelope or Lorena (if you’re her Baba Strobel) or the tune to Penny Lane (if you’re her father) was born at 8:06 am, March 19, 2008. She clocked in at 8 pounds, 5 ounces and 21.5 inches long.
She is healthy and perfect, as is mom, and we couldn’t be happier (especially now that it is over — *smile*)
Here’s a few quicks pics for now I am sure we will be taking and posting many more in the days and weeks to come.
Alison and I want to thank everyone for their prayers and support. We both know that many of you were weary of a home birth, and not only did we understand, we appreciated your concern. Fortunately, everything went very well, if a little faster than we had anticipated. But I’ll let Alison tell you all about it. Head over to Go Baby Morrow to see what the mother has to say.
Judicial Watch, Inc., a conservative, non-partisan educational foundation, promotes transparency, accountability and integrity in government, politics and the law.
Through its educational endeavors, Judicial Watch advocates high standards of ethics and morality in our nation’s public life and seeks to ensure that political and judicial officials do not abuse the powers entrusted to them by the American people.
Judicial Watch fulfills its educational mission through litigation, investigations and public outreach.
This is an important organization with a tag line I can get behind, “Promoting Integrity, Transparency and Accountability in Government, Politics and the Law.”
It is too often forgotten that the government receives its power from the people. Unfortunately, the people act as if the government is the one in charge. We “hire” and pay people to govern us according to established rules and regulations. In a world where the people have, for all intents and purposes, abandoned their constitutional right and responsibility to oversee their government, it is a good thing that there are groups out there like Judicial Watch to help rein in an out of control government that has become accustomed to unaccountability.
Can you imagine a government characterized by integrity, transparency, and accountability? It’s not easy. Regardless, I am glad there are people out there who have not given up hope.
“Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have....The course of history shows that as a government grows, liberty decreases.”
