Comet Holmes Experiences Millionfold Explosion of Light

Astronomy is one of those sciences that anyone can really get a hang of. Not to say that those who study it aren't far and above us in terms of understanding, but unlike physics or chemistry, it isn't reliant on unfathomable precepts. All you need is a decent dictionary (Wikipedia for preference) and some time to read.

Another Blow Against Vaccine Hysteria—or is it

The vaccine preservative thimerosal has jumped the safety hurdle. Again. So indicates a recent large epidemiological study in the New England Journal of Medicine. "Again" is the problem, though.

Biotech Deaths May Already Total Millions

The global conflict over high-yield farming became even uglier last week when armed activists "for the landless" invaded a Brazilian biotech research farm.

Too busy feeding hungry mouths on a daily basis, Sanchez is now counting on Canada Free Press' partners at the Bogota Free Planet to get the word out that it is only the kindness of people that can keep the organization going.
