Ranking for Journalism forms. Promote national broadband, expand access to cable, pulp dissemination of objective information. Is there such a thing as "objective" information? What to include, exclude. Do we die of partisanship, as they say Romans died of lead poisoning in their wine chalices? Aargh.
Federal Journalism Content Classification Commission: Disclose Degrees of Fact; Reward Fact-Based Incentivize a form of journalism that relies on fact, not bombast. Rank content to separate opinion and fantasy from objective information; offer rewards to incentivize reliance on fact, not bombast or voyeurs
Need for national broadband and all access to objective information:
Voter Online Access Debated
Why not support FCC relaxing common ownership of media rules. Let people have online access for independent researching. How else to self-educate? Not so. Why not? Who are they kidding about whose interests are served?
National Broadband: Neshama and Open Access.
A pollination issue. How to transmit information from and to the financially challenged, or in remote areas. Oppose charges for information and access. Compensate those who create works other than by fees to the individual clicker. Wire the country. Broad information is in the national interest. Wealth and location: no corner on wisdom.
PAPER MEDIA TROUBLES. Stealth persuasion.
Outing the Stealth Persuaders: Subscribe Elsewhere
Paper journalism financial problems as largely self-inflicted; increased ideology promotion (by the profit-focused), diminished news promotion in the public interest, separating neutral, more comprehensive news from opinion.
Newspapers as Educators: Common Law Justice, Terminology.
FACT-LESS OPINION SUBSTITUTING FOR "NEWS"
Opinion Implants in News Slots :
Tainted "journalism". Fact-less media news, focuses on churning opinions without laying out what facts are relied upon. Weasel words about "some people think...."
Churning, repeating what others are reported to say: Why not penalize opinions that do not lay out their fact? What is the grounding?

Tax - Issues. Who is fiduciary; what is charity; why not favor repairs, exemptions
Government as Fiduciary. Review tax exemptions. Need tax overhaul.
Government As Fiduciary for Taxpayer Funds. This means fiduciary obligations and disclosures to taxpayers in all matters.
Supporting the tax deduction for charitable giving.
Criteria for tax deduction / exemption for a donor's charitable giving. Service as well as bucks required.
Relief to modest home dwellers.
Primary Residence To Be Exempt from Property Tax to Assessed Value $350,000. This frees up community money to be spent more widely, and enables ordinary folk to stay in their homes.
Give a deduction for ordinary repairs.
Home Improvement Tax Deduction for Day-to-Day Repairs This provision does not necessarily add to the market value of the home, but the deduction here improves the after-tax disposable income of the homeowner who engages in repairs, much needed in the economy.
Need overhaul. Too convoluted and the middle spine, holding up the country, loses.

LABELING
Sassafras and health, with common sense. Information, not ban.
Sassafras, Modern Casualty of Labeling
Evildoing as a label varies with the centuries. Sometimes, like an old lighthouse, the old purpose of the thing is long gone. See Urk.
FOOD SAFETY
Bee Sniff Test To Determine Marketability of Genetically Modified Crops. If bees won't pollinate, the stuff stays off the shelves.
Allelopathy. Concept Gap in the Lab. Sassafras.
Rats. Rodents. "Allergic" to sassafras anyway. The Sassafras Defense against being eaten. Why use rats to test safety of sassafras as to humans? A root beer site.
Thanksgiving Dinner With Featured Carcinogens. t
All that we eat that also contains safrole, and the FDA just leans back and burps. Serve cancer with Thanksgiving
TESTING PROCEDURES
FDA, Flawed Testing, Sassafras, Allelopathy
FDA uses flawed carcinogen testing procedures: ignores the science of allelopathy in coming to conclusions
Fear of Fair Testing. Safrole and Industry Marketing Interests.
FDA use of rats to test safrole, where safrole is a rodent-repellent to begin with, plus the overdosing of it, skews results. Creates the crime. Like "entrapment", perhaps. Whose interests are served if safrole is banned? Industry substitute-makers?
FDA - Abuse of Process
Unwarranted extrapolation.
FDA Permits No Appeal; Ask Politely.
Without an appeal process, we are left with the polite request to reconsider.
FDA used selected anecdotal evidence.
No human testing at all? Just somebody's anecdotes and then the ban? Fie. Glittering generalities make propaganda, not science.
FDA misuse of doses, solubility, nature of test animal, questionable jurisdiction of FDA and gossip as to sassafras
Are we serious about taking the FDA seriously? Maybe now, with a change of administration. Is that so or a pipedream?
NUTRITION, HEALING
Natural or Synthetic; Six of One?.
Without equal testing, who is to say that the injected or pilled lab variety equals the outdoors grown plant extract?

Rights - Personal and Governmental; Corporate, Constitutional - Index
By Dint:
SPEECH
Political Speech Shall Be Deemed Equivalent to Commercial Speech This establishes that politics is sales, and provides some protection for the purchaser.
Where there is a conflict between interpretation of speech in politics as commercial or subject to fiduciary duty, see Fiduciary Standard of Care Applicable in All Consumer, Voter, Investor Relationships, the fiduciary standard, as providing more protection, shall control.
CORPORATE
The Bill of Rights Shall Protect Only Human Persons; Not Corporations.
Bill of Rights protects bodied persons not legal persons. A corporation may only enjoy Bill of Rights protection if the Board of Directors, shareholders, and all employed by the corporation assume personal responsibility (no "corporate veil") as to acts of the Corporation. See also Bill of Rights (including free speech) applies to We The People.
With Citizens United, this may take a new case: one to pierce the corporate veil if directors' disposition of corporate funds is contrary to the business judgment rule (which is very broad and slippery) and serves more the director's or directors' personal goals, just couched as corporate.
PERSONAL
Family Matters Privacy
COMMERCIAL, POLITICAL
An Act Establishing the Fiduciary Standard, Governmental, Private, Commercial, All Contractual Obligations.
Why should the fiduciary standard, a legal standard, not apply to government and contracts where the public good is at stake or fair dealing. Would this target venality at least a little? Corruption. How else to get at it.
