'Vegetative' Patient Communicates!

Here's a story out of Scotland that is quite remarkable:

Click Here

Although the results were recorded in 1 patient out of 23, the implications of such a discovery are immense. Can you just imagine being trapped in your own mind, being able to hear doctors and family around you talking about how 'you are not there' and aren't 'alive' anymore? Can you imagine the agony?

PS: The study was published in the New England Journal of Medicine, a legit medical journal.

Rutgers Student falls in Afghanistan

Lance Cpl. Jeremy Kane, a Marine reservist from Cherry Hill, NJ, and student at Rutgers-Camden fell in combat last Saturday, January 23.

You can read more about this fallen American hero here.

We must always remember that we are at war right now and that we have thousands of men and women fighting all over the world to ensure that we remain free. Freedom is not cheap. We may sit here in this country and debate about this and that, but we are only able to because of what men and women like Jeremy Kane have sacrificed for us.

Please keep the family of Jeremy in your prayers and thoughts while they go through this horrible ordeal.

RIP Jeremy.

Libertas Articles

The Rutgers Democrats have printed another issue of Libertas yesterday. In that issue an article on trickle-down econopmics appeared. This article was one of the most specios drafts of reasoning since the last Paul Krugman article I read. His reasoning is that investment does not occure when the rich recive tax cuts because they are more inctivised to save rather than invest. His copnclusions only hold if banks are simply a stor house of money. Banks are investors by thier very nature. They hold as little capital as requierd to keep themselves solvent and invest the rest as fast as they can. To claim that tax cuts do not spur investment is invilation of all economic reasoning. He also makse compariosns of the clinton years (a period at the height of a bubble) to the Bush years (when the bubble burst). Like Robert Frank, the author of this article needs to read more widely.
