"Every vaccination does some damage to the developing brain and nervous system due to the numerous toxins they contain. Vaccines cause the myelin, a protective coating over the nerves, to slow down or stop growing. It is this coating that protects children and gives them the neural connections they need to develop as they learn and grow. This myelinating process is in development for the first 20 years of life. All vaccines effectively inhibit this process. I can now walk into a store or daycare and tell which children have been vaccinated or not. The vaccinated children have a certain look in their eyes that is unmistakable. Their cognizance is slower as is their speech and motor skills. Their social skills are lacking too, sometimes to a lesser degree and sometimes to a more noticeable degree such as in the cases of ADD and autism."

"We are a family of 8 siblings and the oldest is gay, and has lived with the same partner for 41 years. At various times, my siblings and I have tried to discover why he is gay and none of the rest of us are. We finally found out through an older cousin that my brother was repeatedly sexually molested when he was 6 years old by a 19-year-old man. Homosexuality is no more natural than alcoholism and drug additions are diseases."

"Down in the vast crater where the World Trade Center towers once stood, hundreds of workers toiled around the clock to clear away what would amount to 1.8 millions tons of imploded skyscraper debris, in a record-breaking cleanup project that communicated anything but defeat. It was supposed to cost $7 billion; it cost $1 billion. It was supposed to take at least a year; it was finished in 8 months. . . .

"The huge costs of our legal system create an average 'litigation tax' of 2.5 percent on every product we buy. The tab for our out of control legal system comes to about $1,200 per person per year. The figure is much higher for some products, such as step -ladders (30 percent) and vaccines (95 percent) that tend to attract lawsuits. The cost of litigation doubles the price of a football helmet, will add $500 to the sticker of your next new car, and pumps up the cost of a heart pacemaker by $3,000."

"When a California family sued the Boy Scouts in 1993 for exposing their son to a Scout leader who molested him, the Scouts were ordered to turn over 25,000 pages of documents to the plaintiff. This unprecedented glimpse into the world of Scot pedophiles revealed that thousands of boys had been molested by Scout leaders and other volunteers between 1971 and 1991, resulting in the expulsion of over 1,800 Scout volunteers for pedophile activity. The documents show that some Scout leaders molested over 40 boys before getting caught and that many, once caught, simply moved to a different Scout troop and continued abusing boys."
