I remember one time when a woman was lecturing me on health research. "Things like breast cancer would be solved if the Government just spent as much money on research into women's health as they do to men's."

I didn't have the knowledge then to counter the argument, but after a few minutes on the web I found: "85% of the research budget goes for non-gender based research (things like heart problems - and heart problems kill more women than breast cancer). Of the remaining 15%, 10% goes for female issues (breast/ovarian cancer, etc.), and 5% for male problems (testicular cancer, etc.). I told her this at a subsequent party. She refused to believe me, and later I heard her telling her same theory to someone else. Oh well, she liked her story.

This book is filled with such stories. This author tends to concentrate on the beliefs of the liberals, with only a few stories listing the faults of the conservative side.

Then again today I read that Michael Moore's bodyguard was arrested for carrying a gun in New York. If he is so against guns as 'Columbine' would have you believe, why aren't his bodyguards following the law and going unarmed.

One or more of the hyperlinks above will take you to Amazon.com. We specialize in books that are available on line for down loading. Where the material is stored in a planar cellulose information retrieval system, i.e. a printed book, we don't have the infrastructure to handle the sale, shipment and subsequent customer service if there is a problem. Accordingly, we have made an arrangement with Amazon.com to handle the order. The above link will take you to the specific book. If you order it from Amazon, they will give you exactly the same price and customer service as if you had entered their site directly. They also give us a small commission which helps to maintain this site.
