LawyerUCLA.com makes a firm case for Ron Paul as president of the United States. Washington D.C. (PRWEB) December 16, 2007 — LawyerUCLA.com currently serves as a directory for over 6,000 lawyers across the United States. And when it comes to the 2008 presidential election, the website has decided not to keep quiet — making a firm case for Ron Paul. Ron Paul, self proclaimed champion of the Constitution, is a 10-term congressman from Texas. According to the statistics provided on their website, 61 percent of the mentions of the Constitution at the 2008 presidential debates were made by Ron Paul himself, despite being a candidate that has not been given a fair amount of time to speak. Assuming 10 total candidates, 39 percent of the references to the Constitution would be divided among the nine other candidates. If the total number of references were to be split evenly across the rest of the candidates, each candidate would roughly only contribute to 4.3 percent of the Constit

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”--2nd Amendment to the U.S. ConstitutionSuch importance was placed on the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, that the Founding Fathers placed it second, only behind freedom of speech, assembly and the press.The U.S. Supreme Court is going to hear a case that will decide if that right, given to every free citizen of the United States, set forth in the Bill of Rights and reaffirmed throughout American history, can be taken away.For more, Red Planet Cartoons has some background and information to get a discussion going - "An Individual Right"If the Founders were alive today, there's little doubt they'd be troubled by the infringements on basic individual rights and the erosion of the freedoms they left us.About one thing, they would breathe a sigh of relief: citizens still have the right to bear arms. That right is a last guard ag

Jack Tramiel was born in Poland in 1928. After the Nazi invasion of 1939 he and his family were sent to a Jewish ghetto. Later, they were sent to one of the worst concentration camps of the Nazi Germany: Auschwitz.In Auschwitz, Jack Tramiel was selected by Dr. Mengele (more known as "The Angel of Death", one of the most cruel and wicked minds of Nazism) to go with his father to the work camp of Ahlem (Hanover). His mother stayed in Auschwitz. Jack Tramiel's father was assassinated by the Nazis (they injected him gasoline).He was rescued from the concentration camp in 1945 by the US Army.Two years later Jack Tramiel went to the USA, the country that gave him freedom, and joined their army. While he was in the army, he learned to repair typewriters.Some time later, he worked as a taxi driver. He saved some money, and bought a shop in the Bronx, where he worked repairing typewriters. He called it "Commodore Portable Typewriter".He had a remarkable success, and decided to move to Ontario

All the hype surrounding plastic surgery makes it difficult to comprehend that this branch of medicine is actually steeped in ancient history. Roughly placed around the 6th B.C., plastic surgery had its roots in the need for new noses by criminals who had their noses amputated for misdemeanors.A practitioner of medicine named Sushruta devised a procedure which would give these people their noses back. He is held to be the first surgeon to perform a reconstructive rhinoplasty procedure by using skin from the forehead. He devised more than 15 methods to repair a damaged nose. Sushruta is also credited as the first doctor to have performed plastic surgery.The Sushruta Samhita or Sushruta’s compendium holds all his medicinal knowledge and is considered to be one of the cornerstones of Indian medical tradition. After continuous conquests the book traveled all over the Middle East and finally was noticed by a British surgeon in 1793 who went on to publish it a year later. What followed, le

My History Can Beat Up Your Politics Podcast, whose web site is MyHistoryCanBeatUpYourPolitics.com, takes a hard look at our history’s past, specifically at the signing of the Constitution and what went on at the Federal Convention. The anniversary of the signing of our Constitution has just recently passed, yet it seems we do not celebrate that day and the people who gave us our rights to free speech, bear arms, etc. Not many people know a lot about how the Constitution was created, nor do they know all the people that were involved. This is an important event in our history and should be something we all remember and pass on. There is very little celebration of the passing of a date Sept. 17, 2007: the belated Birthday of the Signing of the Constitution. And the Federal Convention that ended its business on Sept. 17, 1787. It seems unfortunate, since we should be celebrating the people who gave us right to speech, right to assemble, right to bear arms, etc. Except they didn&

Today is Constitution Day and what better way to celebrate than with a story from the only one of our founding fathers to have signed all five of the documents which declared our independence from Britain? January 26, 1784, Benjamin Franklin wrote a letter to his daughter in response to the adoption of the Great Seal with a poorly drawn Bald Eagle as its centerpiece. He thought it looked more like a turkey. After essentially describing the Bald Eagle as an ignominious coward, perhaps more descriptive of the British than the American, he goes on to say, I am, on this account, not displeased that the figure is not known as a bald eagle, but looks more like a turkey. For in truth, the turkey is in comparison a much more respectable bird, and withal a true original native of America. Eagles have been found in all countries, but the turkey was peculiar to ours; the first of the species seen in Europe, being brought to France by the Jesuits from Canada, and served up at the wedding table o

Can you imagine Thomas Jefferson, George Washington or John Adams in meetings with our representatives today? Or what would happen to them if they were to run for office? I've often wondered what our founding fathers would say if they were alive today. The more I read of their writings, however, the more I think their general commentary would be, "I told you so." This, however, might also reflect their general sentiments:Thanks for the laugh, Ogre.

Somebody finally asked: Mac and Linux users have their fanatics and fanboys, but where are the Windows cultists? Incredibly odd, because when you ask any non-Microsoft user why they use this or that platform, they’ll rave on for hours about all the great features they love. Ask a Microsoft user why they use Microsoft and get flat, monotone responses: “It’s a standard.” “It’s what everybody else uses.” “My job makes me use it.” “It came installed.” “What, there’s something else?” Well, now, if L. Ron Hubbard can make up his own religion, why can’t Microsoft users? This will be a piece of cake! We’ll show those uppity Mac and Linux geeks that anything they can do, we can do better! Hear ye, listen in faith to the pillars of Microsoftism: Bill Gates invented the computer. All these claims of other computers that happened before him are just evil rumors spread by the Antigates, in a

In the Declaration of Independence, our Constitution and its defenses in the Federalist Papers, we find many principles which lay the foundation of our American Republic. These principles have been under attack since the death of George Washington, and with decreasing understanding of these principles, our foundation is beginning to erode as well. Dedicated to Liberty Day, the purpose of this

This is just me thinking. Please understand I have not heard this anywhere, except in my head. Which is now being shared with all of you. Aren't you lucky. Oh yeah, before I forget. About the 2 last posts. I don't know, I think I was just in a fighting mood. Back to the thoughts in my head. What if as founding Members Agloco decides to reward us. Maybe with some stock right away or something. For helping them through the beta period. This is not unheard of in the software industry. Maybe it is just me being hopeful. And maybe Agloco didn't think about this and then will read this post and it puts a thought in their head too. So again to all those people who want to wait until the Viewbar is released, maybe you should think about joining before the Viewbar is released. Just in case. And why we are hypothesizing, and Agloco is going to throw a surprise reward it might be for the founding members who signed up at least one referral.

William Hogeland, in an Op-Ed piece in the NYTimes sees some interesting parallels between our founding fathers breaking of immigration laws and today's illegal entries into the country.To Hogeland, "every nation is a nation of immigrants" thanks to our connection to "the DNA of our African mother, Lucy.""Every nation is a nation of immigrants," is his first misstep; off the bat the discussion wraps both "legal" and "illegal" immigration into the same brushstroke.According the the Times Op-Ed piece:"America's pioneer values developed in a distinctly illegal context. In 1763, George III drew a line on a map stretching from modern-day Maine to modern-day Georgia, along the crest of the Appalachians. He declared it illegal to claim or settle land west of the line, all of which he reserved for Native Americans."This cannot be denied, yet does not compare to today's "illegal" immigration problem, unless the parallels Mr. Hogeland sees between today's issues and what should be more corr
