Health insurance is not Health Care

Deductibles and co-pays are going to hurt those that can least afford it after the ~300/mo paid to corrupt corporations that make money by denying claims

Name another country that operates their "health care" in this despicable manner

then compare Health Care in Germany to the rotten egg the ACA laid

He's not against Pharma getting their cut of the Cannabis market

Kennedy wants cancer patients and others with serious illnesses to be able to obtain drugs with cannabinoids, but in a more regulated way that could involve the U.S. Food and Drug Administration playing a larger role

Convienently, the Feds own a cannabis patent.

ScientificAmerican: Inside the Solar-Hydrogen House: No More Power Bills--Ever [With Update]

Inside the Solar-Hydrogen House: No More Power Bills--Ever
A New Jersey resident generates and stores all the power he needs with solar panels and hydrogen

EAST AMWELL, N.J.—Mike Strizki has not paid an electric, oil or gas bill—nor has he spent a nickel to fill up his Mercury Sable—in nearly two years. Instead, the 51-year-old civil engineer makes all the fuel he needs using a system he built in the capacious garage of his home, which employs photovoltaic (PV) panels to turn sunlight into electricity that is harnessed in turn to extract hydrogen from tap water.

Although the device cost $500,000 to construct, and it is unlikely it will ever pay off financially (even with today's skyrocketing oil and gas prices), the civil engineer says it is priceless in terms of what it does buy: freedom from ever paying another heating or electric bill, not to mention keeping a lid on pollution, because water is its only by-product.

Slide Show: Photos show what makes this house work

"The ability to make your own fuel is priceless," says the man known as "Mr. Gadget" to his friends. He boasts a collection of hydrogen-powered and electric vehicles, including a hydrogen-run lawn mower and car (the Sable, which he redesigned and named the "Genesis&quot as well as an electric racing boat, and even an electric motorcycle. "All the technology is off-the-shelf. All I'm doing is putting them together."...

...The Strizki's personalized home-energy system consists of 56 solar panels on his garage roof, and housed inside is a small electrolyzer (a device, about the size of a washing machine, that uses electricity to break down water into its component hydrogen and oxygen). There are 100 batteries for nighttime power needs along the garage's inside wall; just outside are ten propane tanks (leftovers from the 1970s that are capable of storing 19,000 cubic feet, or 538 cubic meters, of hydrogen) as well as a Plug Power fuel cell stack (an electrochemical device that mixes hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity and water) and a hydrogen refueling kit for the car...

Why the surprise? He said himself his policies are Republican policies from the '80s
The Change thing was total and complete BS. It's that simple.



Obama: I'm a Moderate Republican Not a Socialist

He should get lots of credit for convincing lots of people to support what they never would have supported if an R was in office. Outside of politics, that's usually called FRAUD.

But Those that point it out are sometimes called RACISTS. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

That is an excellent video. Thanks for posting. Here's another

This is 5 hours long. Known to convert some skeptics.

I just finished watching the entire thing......and holy shit.

It's definitely worth the time.

Just finished watching this a few minutes ago. I must say the people behind this documentary have made a superb job, it really is by far the best there is. Didn't contain any theories that don't have any real evidence and goes trough all the existing evidence very thoroughly. The quality is such that this could very well be shown on a big TV channel.

No matter if you have watched tens and tens of hours of footage & documentaries about 9/11, you must watch this too. For me too, there was some good new information and the way this was put together also helps to organize your own thoughts. A masterpiece!

I just wanted to echo the same conclusion -- this is by FAR the finest documentary that has been made.

I strongly urge you to just give it a try for 30 minutes, and you'll be so overwhelmed that you will continue it for all 5 hours. Amazing job -- super comprehensive. I think this will really encourage other people to press quite hard to re-open it, and finally give the truth that it deserves.

I'm watching this for the first time right now. Mind blowing stuff. I had previously taken the Popular Mechanics as a reasonable account of events.

Just finished all 3 videos today - wow - I think Ive seen all the 911 documentaries available out there, and this is now in my top 3 - it pissed me off all over again. Very well made.

"officials acknowledged Friday that the spy agency collects data from less than a third..."

Not going to believe known proven liars. Who are these "officials"?

How many lies does one have to be told before doubt sinks in?



Is this lying jackass one of the "officials"?

Stop violating the 4th amendment NOW. Lots of people have died for the Bill of Rights.

About solarhydrocan

Is it possible to get fuel from water? Of course it is. Water is H2O. Split the hydrogen from the oxygen and you have hydrogen. Put it in tanks and voila- fuel. Watch it happen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3GDjVskYIs The main cost is electricity. But if Solar Panels power the electrolysis the only cost is the panels and the water.
