Such an excellent topic!
Here's one nobody covered yet; In the mid 80's there was a 60 Minutes episode that cover a remarkable process for using old tires for highways and it was remarkable in that it got rid of the troublesome old rubber, and created a virtually non-maintenance roadway that lasted for years.
So where's it? We can't have no maintenance roads.edit on 9-10-2010 by Jimerton because: Didn't end well.

.. the case of Alvin Greene, the strange fella who won the Senate primary in SC without a shred of campaigning or money spent ...
On Sept. 10, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld declared war. Not on foreign terrorists, "the adversary's closer to home. It's the Pentagon bureaucracy," he said.
He said money wasted by the military poses a serious threat.
"In fact, it could be said it's a matter of life and death," he said.
Rumsfeld promised change but the next day – Sept. 11-- the world changed and in the rush to fund the war on terrorism, the war on waste seems to have been forgotten.
Just last week President Bush announced, "my 2003 budget calls for more than $48 billion in new defense spending."
More money for the Pentagon, CBS News Correspondent Vince Gonzales reports, while its own auditors admit the military cannot account for 25 percent of what it spends.
"According to some estimates we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions," Rumsfeld admitted.
$2.3 trillion — that's $8,000 for every man, woman and child in America. To understand how the Pentagon can lose track of trillions, consider the case of one military accountant who tried to find out what happened to a mere $300 million.
"We know it's gone. But we don't know what they spent it on," said Jim Minnery, Defense Finance and Accounting Service.
Minnery, a former Marine turned whistle-blower, is risking his job by speaking out for the first time about the millions he noticed were missing from one defense agency's balance sheets. Minnery tried to follow the money trail, even crisscrossing the country looking for records.
"The director looked at me and said 'Why do you care about this stuff?' It took me aback, you know? My supervisor asking me why I care about doing a good job," said Minnery.
He was reassigned and says officials then covered up the problem by just writing it off.

I generally roll my eyes at the "birther" argument, mostly because it is fruitless. Right or wrong, he is and will remain president.
unless....
....there are stories about his SSN not matching his residence as a child, when it was issued. That is strange enough, but then you also have him using several SSN's over the years. Combine that with the allegations that he worked for the CIA over in Pakistan, and the propensity for the CIA to put former members in the POTUS seat.
Why is it not being reported on and investigated?
Or the "October Surprise"?
I am 100% positive that something is done to the American population to make them apathetic. But whatever it is, it doesn't work on some people. And that is why we are here, at ATS.

ELFs, extremely low frequencies are worth researching, too. everything is vibrational, the lower external frequenies are on something, the more negative they affect it's biology.
you could also try google if you're curious. or the ats search bar (it's probably closer). don't forget the "-crayons" command
