Electromagnetic Sensitivity In Santa Fe, New Mexico

January 18th, 2010 Greg Smith 1 comment

Santa Fe is the capital city of New Mexico but it’s not nearly as populated as Albuquerque and is known for being artsy and for electromagentic sensitive people.

A Santa Fe man who says he suffers from electromagnetic sensitivity is suing his next-door neighbor for refusing to turn off her cell phone and other electronic devices.

Arthur Firstenberg, who has actively opposed the proliferation of wireless systems in public buildings, claims he has been made homeless by Raphaela Monribot’s rejection of his requests.

New Mexico is the right place to live to get away from all electromagntic signals. The Very Large Array in Socorro, New Mexico is in a signal free zone. One does not have to go far into the desert to get away signals but living anywhere near or in a city is a bad idea.

Anti-Socialist Protest Fire Stations

September 16th, 2009 Greg Smith No comments

I thought this was a joke.

The Group “Angrytownhall” is holding live protests at libraries nationwide, and in downtown Los Angeles on 9/24/09. The “Flamer” movement” aims to protest socialized social services in America, beginning with fire stations. The group has added over 14,000 members in just one month on its Facebook group and is a rapidly growing political movement.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) September 15, 2009 — On Thursday, September 24, citizens from Los Angeles will join concerned citizens across the United States in opposition to ongoing taxes imposed by America’s socialized fire services, and gather to promote individual liberty, privatization, and free market principles.

So many people are engaged in everyday socialism without even knowing it. Our police, our Medicare, roads “So many people are engaged in everyday socialism without even knowing it. Our police, our Medicare, roads” said Angrytownhall President Troy Conrad. “We’ve decided to bring awareness to the rampant socialism in America, starting with our nation’s fire departments.” With over 14,000 members on its Facebook page, “1 Million Strong Against our Socialist Fire Departments,” the “Flamer” movement is a ‘grassroots organization’ intent on keeping taxes low for the American people by privatizing of 100% of America’s fire departments by 2011, then moving to other social services.
“We have too many people who are tired of paying for their neighbor’s fire, when they’ve had no fire. We want our America back,” observed Conrad. The protest is expected to draw thousands in Los Angeles, and tens of thousands nationwide. Los Angeles-based ‘anti-socialism’ protesters will rally in front of the Central Library in downtown Los Angeles at 3 p.m. Local residents are encouraged to attend to show their ‘opposition’ to socialized fire services. For instance:

A pilot light is a pre-existing condition. Why should neighbors be forced to pay for carelessness?
The USA hosts the best fire departments in the world, but that doesn’t mean that just anyone (i.e. non-U.S. citizens) should be able to dial up and have fires put out, without first giving a valid credit card.
There may be a secret order to let houses more than 65 years old burn if on fire.

My new vehicle inventory consists of 125 vehicles with a financed balance of 3 million dollars. This inventory becomes impossible to sell with no factory incentives beyond June 9, 2009. Without the Dodge franchise we can no longer sell a new Dodge as "new," nor will we be able to do any warranty service work. Additionally, my Dodge parts inventory, (approximately $300,000.) is virtually worthless without the ability to perform warranty service. There is no offer from Chrysler to buy back the vehicles or parts inventory.

There Are Things We Just Cannot Explain

Ex-wife I understand, but that he has a girlfriend now. Some people just go too far sometimes and I think this is one of those times.

Willie Windsor, 54, of Phoenix has for several years lived as a full-time baby, wearing frilly dresses, diapers and bonnets, sucking on a pacifier, eating Gerber cuisine, and habitually clutching a rag doll, in a home filled with oversized baby furniture. According to a long Phoenix New Times profile in June, the diaper is not just a prop. Windsor said he worked hard to become incontinent, even chaining the commode shut to avoid temptation, and the reporter admitted feeling “disconcert(ed)” that Windsor might be relieving himself at the very moment he was describing his un-toilet training. Apparently, Windsor’s brother, ex-wife, girlfriend and a neighbor tolerate his lifestyle (though no girlfriend has yet been willing to change his diapers). Windsor is a semi-retired singer-actor and said he’s been celibate for nine years. [Phoenix New Times, 6-9-05]
