Tom Coburn Channels Albert Camus
2009-12-18 21:28:00 In one of the great works of the last century, the French Nobel laureate defined “un homme révolté” (translated into English as a “rebel”) simply as a man who who says “no.” In saying “no” to one thing, he says “yes” to something else: Apparently negative since it creates nothing, this revolt is profoundly positive because ...

2009-10-26 23:33:00 A drill team director is suing his former church for alleged false and defamatory statements that he inappropriately touched one of the youth. Charles Coleman was a drill team director at Freedom Baptist Church of the Greater Chicago Area before resigning- from the position and joining another church in 2008.

Debate: A Need For Freedom From Restrictions On Social Media’s Use At
2009-10-22 07:43:00 Lets face it, majority of the companies block social media sites, especially social networking sites in the offices. On the other hand, same companies want to publicize themselves / their products through the same social media. So what is the main reason for companies to avoid using their workforce as their social media publicity team and not leverage the extended networks of their employees? Let us drill down on the reasons from the perspective of employers on blocking the social media sites. As they say, “With great power comes greater responsibility” and according to most of the companies, the responsibility part is more often than not ignored 1)Â Procrastination – This is by far the most important reason for companies to block all the social networking websites in the offices. When people start abusing instead of using the facility, the work planning suffers and the companies are not yet willing to pay you for chatting with 10 friends at the same time. 2) Perce...

Standing for Smaller Government Will Help GOP Win Perot Voters
2009-09-22 10:38:00 It seemed sweetly serendipitous that barely forty-eight hours after speculating about the potential for “Perot voters” (those particularly concerned about the exploding federal debt) to decide the 2010 — and possibly the 2012 — election that I would chance upon a Gallup poll showing that Americans are more likely than ever to say the government ...

The latest Gallup poll confirms what we’ve been observing these past eight months (and even before): 57% of ...

Freedom of Information Act Request pending on Obama's Health Care Spy Progr
2009-08-08 18:13:00  (***DISCLAIMER ON BEHALF OF THE MOTHERLAND:In the interest of full disclosure it is our duty here at Black Dog Press to inform you that the following article may be considered "fishy" information, or even as dastardly as, "disinformation." Understanding that this makes us ungrateful citizens, we ask our readers with what patriotic duty we have left to report this article to flag@whitehouse.gov.***) As the Obama administration begins to figure out that, not only do a large number of American's disagree with the type of Health Care "reform" he seeks to implement, they may have yet another thorn in their side. American's don't like people spying on them. I refer of course to the White House blog, which has been widely reported of late, for asking Americans, to turn in those, who even in "casual conversation" differ from Obama's policy on Health Care. Even more shocking than the fact people could dissent from the Obama administration, and be so ungrateful for the gifts h...

Saudi Arabia, Blogging And The Freedom Of Expression
2009-07-13 09:15:00 The internet is an excellent source of information, and the development of social media has revolutionised the way the internet is being used. True, the UGC is a great opportunity for marketing enthusiasts. But more importantly, the Web has given a excellent platform for people to speak out aloud, whether in appreciation, critical review, or more importantly, in dissent. The Iran Elections took the world by surprise. We blogged about how Iran citizens were using Twitter to broadcast their voices of revolution in a country where civil rights are suppressed without much regard. (On a more retrospective tone, we also blogged about how civil dissent on the internet is easier to monitor and thereby suppress). Which is why this article by Reuters on bloggers testing the boundaries in Saudi Arabia is very relevant to the current scenario. The article mentions how bloggers in Saudi Arabai are forming a close community. Saudi Arabia is well known for its press censorship which is why it is v...

Zoos, Habit(at)s and Thoughts on Animal and Human Freedom
2009-07-13 05:46:00 In Yann Martel?s acclaimed book ?Life of Pi? the first person narrator defends the case for zoos and discusses notions of freedom from the point of view of animals. Some people criticize zoos for being confined spaces as opposed to the natural habitat and forms of life and it boils down to questions of freedom and happiness. Are zoos a form of jail for the animals and are they unhappy there? Are they stressed because of all the human attention and the clicking cameras and the pointy fingers?A zoo is indeed a confined space, but it comes with various advantages. One of them is safety; another is a steady supply of food. In the wild it is literally a jungle. All the animals need to hunt for food in order to avoid starvation, but with it there is the constant danger of becoming prey to other stronger and fiercer animals. In the zoo they may lose some of those killer instincts, but they are fed and protected by humans.In the book, there is an analysis of how animals are actually very co...
