PERRY MASON CASE WITH PARROT WITNESS
2016 Jun 11 from Angelo Trotter
Regarding “Michigan: A murder trial may hinge on a parrot that was witness to the crime.” last week’s news, I thought you might find it interesting that there was a Perry Mason episode, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0673353/ based on a book: The Case of the Perjured Parrot.

GUARANTEED INCOME = DEPENDENCE
2016 June 11 from Eli Dumitru
Dear Ed,
It was pointed out to me that the reason governments are going towards a guaranteed income is so the populace will be dependent on, and therefore subservient to, the government. So in addition to impinging on the freedom of the people the government wants to take the money from, a guaranteed income would also impinge on the freedom of the people that the government wants to give the money to. That’s because freedom and responsibility are two sides of the same coin. Thanks for all you do.
