  Because of malnutrition in the entire country, North Koreans are about six inches shorter than South Koreans.

• Dad Arrested, Strip-Searched After Daughter Draws a Picture of a Gun in School

  In reply to JackSprat.

  This is the sort of shake down that discourages anyone from purchasing a firearm. The anti gun war is a war of psychology as well. I’d write more, but I want to get a Nerf rifle for my kiddo and I better get the permit process started.

• Mother ‘Angry With Everybody’ After 14-Year-Old Given HPV Vaccine Without Permission

  February 24, 2012 at 9:22am

  Welcome to 1984. In Colorado, as of last week, the board of health ruled – and they went around all legislative courses, that If you are a healthcare worker in a hospital or long term care facility, you get a flu shot, or get fired. The new law does not allow for religious exemptions or personal exemptions. The goal is 90% vaccinated by 2014. If you do not get the vaccine, you can don a mask from November to March.

  So, if only 80% are vaccinated by the deadline, and the hospital has to fire someone for not receiving the shot, does that worker receive unemployment? If wearing a mask tells everyone around you that you didn’t receive a flu shot, is that a HIPPA violation? The board said flat out that religious reasons are not valid, period.

• FDA Using ‘Interstate Commerce’ to Regulate Your Stem Cells As a ‘Drug’

  February 2, 2012 at 6:04pm

  In reply to cosmic dogma.

  Traveling to Panama for stem cells for my son. They will use his own, and donated umbilical cord cells, no ethical dilemma, and mostly his own cells. $30K we are spending outside the USA, on a treatment that may or may not be FDA approved in years. He shouldn’t have to wait. We are an hour from Regenexx, and their website was very helpful in doing my research. Too bad they only do orthopedics and not neurology. At least they did orthopedics……

• House Passes Concealed Weapons Bill That Would Allow Interstate Travel

  November 17, 2011 at 1:29pm

  In reply to sister1_rm.

  One way for one state to check on the permit from another state would be to establish a national data base of permit holders. Some call this bill a trojan horse for registry. Just a thought….

• 9-Year-Old Girl Who Can’t Speak Receives $16,000 Talking Device

  November 15, 2011 at 8:03am

  In reply to voicecheck1.

  My son has CP and uses a device like this and it enables him to go to school and communicate with his caregivers. The first thing he ever said was, “Lighten up Mom.” This technology is a lifesaver.

  Does anyone remember getting free fries from, “Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun.” Thanks McDonalds.

• TSA Chief Vows No Change in Screening Policy

  November 21, 2010 at 1:28pm

  TSA screens pilots too? The only thing I think they should look for on a pilot is a parachute.

  They have the keys to the plane…..
