CON GAMES: Ghosts of Aspens Past

Who can know the truth(s) to be beheld in a ghost town?

For there is this town, you see, our town, hidden away in a valley, a box canyon, a place where no one can find us. And in this town our is an event once a year in which no one is quite as he or she appears. And instead we see ghouls and goblins, and Pebbles and Poison Ivy--and creatures beyond description.

Nobody does Halloween quite like the town in a box. But there's a reason for that. Aspen is of course the one place in America that is nothing more than the land of make-believe.

Nutrition: Facts and Fiction

Even in a well-educated community like the Roaring Fork Valley, myths regarding nutrition still run rampant. In an era of anti-aging and instant gratification, many companies try to take advantage of this and solicit products and information that are of little or no value. While there certainly are some reputable nutrition sources out there, it is difficult to decipher the valuable information from the rest. There are five myths that the majority of the general public refuses to accept as faulty information.

Hitchens v. D'Souza on the Problem of Christianity

I watched Christopher Hitchens debate Dinesh D’Souza last weekend on the subject of “Is Christianity the Problem” (of "what?" is anybody’s guess; the answer "everything" is likely the premise). You can see this debate on Youtube. The video lags behind the audio, but if you can get over that irritation, it’s worth at least a listen.

Subject: FW: Katie has sent you a message about 10questions.com

Friends,

Please take a moment to watch my daughter Katie’s youtube video regarding global warming. If you vote for her video, she has a chance of presenting it to the Presidential candidates.

Crowding of America: Part 10--Next Added 100 Million Americans

Have you ever seen a tsunami? Probably not! Fact is, no one ever saw a tsunami--until it hit! Earthquakes deep under the ocean occur when tectonic plates shift, crash and reposition. In the process, a huge energy wave releases. That energy rips under the ocean’s surface for hours and countless miles until, as you saw in Sri Lanka two years ago, it slamed into beaches with astonishing force. No one could sense, touch, feel, hear or see it. In Sri Lanka, over 100,000 people died in a few minutes.

Fracturing America: Part 9--Next Added 100 Million Americans

Today, California sloshes knee deep in its 37.5 million population overload. It grows by 1,650 people daily! Do the math. By 2050, if this immigration-driven population phenomenon continues, California explodes to 79.1 million people. Source: “Projecting the U.S. Population to 2050” by Jack Martin and Stanley Fogel, March 2006.

What if 20 Million Illegal Aliens Vacated America?

If 20 million illegal aliens returned "home," the U.S. economy would return to the rule of law. Employers would hire legal American citizens at a living wage. Everyone would pay their fair share of taxes because they wouldn't be working off the books. That would result in an additional $401 billion in IRS income taxes collected annually, and an equal amount for local state and city coffers.

The Truth About Owl Creek Farm

WOODY CREEK, COLORADO (Post Time News)—In a revelatory interview with the Guardian of London in October 2005, the widow of the late Dr. Hunter S. Thompson drew the curtain back on Owl Creek Farm and the picture is not the roseate picture that predominated after the gonzo journalist’s suicide in 2005.

Anita Thompson said there was “dark side” to Thompson and she called him the “lord of the underworld.” Before his death, she had been recently staying with her mother because “things were so bad.” She also said that she succumbed to the drug culture that surrounded her husband, and that she and the writer had tried to have a child.
