By: Oliver Harding | 2010-04-04 | Politics
Since the Blackhall Constitution of 1863 was unable to meet the expectations of the Settlers, the post 1863 period ushered in an ear of quest for a better form of representative and democratic government. However, several factors threatened the implementation of the 1924 Ransford Slater Constitution in Sierra Leone. The composition of the Legislative and Executive Councils, coupled with the implications of colonialism and racism, divide and rule, the Great War (1914-1918) and the Great Debate could be meaningfully regarded as obstacles to constitutional change. read more

Fair Access Constitutional Amendment

By: Ron Bartels | 2010-04-04 | Politics
It is our responsibility to light a fire under the rear ends of our politicians and if we don't step up to the plate now, we will live to regret our inaction.

Time For A Constitutional Convention

By: J.J. Jackson | 2010-04-04 | Politics
When in the course of human events it becomes clear that a portion of the American public no longer understands the clear and unambiguous words of our Constitution it is necessary to further clarify already simple and plain language that even your average third grader in 1776 could have understood. As such I propose that the time for a Constitutional Convention to aid in the process of dumbing down the Constitution of these United States is at hand and I do propose the following amendments. read more

What Constitutes a Modern Bathroom Vanity?

By: Mia Little | 2010-04-02 | Bath showers
A modern bathroom vanity is basically any vanity that is not an antique. Typically though, if a vanity is unique in shape, sleek in design, and stylishly different from any other vanity you have ever seen then it probably falls into the category of modern. Modern design can however, include many different types of materials similar to standard vanities like wood, glass, metal, and even porcelain. The most notable difference between any old vanity and a modern bathroom vanity has to be its unique design, how the vanity is mounted, and the type of fixtures it contains. read more

By: John Bambenek | 2010-04-04 | Politics

Illinois deserves better. read more

Fire Crew $75 - No-doc Domestic $23hr - Jobless politicians a dime a dozen

By: Michael Bresciani | 2010-10-08 | Current Affairs
Current Affairs, Advice, Christianity In what sounds like a page out of Mad Magazine a fire company in Tennessee stood watching as Gene Cranick’s house burned to the ground in Obion County. Cranick had not paid the $75.00 fee to the fire Department so the firefighters stood by and gawked as the family home went up in flames. Not since Billy Joel sang his tribute to the fallen heroes of 9/11 with a firemen’s helmet placed conspicuously on the center of his grand piano has there been such a need to weep over firemen. Perhaps the fire crew wanted to rush in but was under orders not to and, this may constitute the first case o... read more

Replacing the IRS With a Constitutional Tax System

By: Michael Lemieux | 2010-04-04 | Politics
Problem: It has become settled knowledge, within the freedom and tax honesty movements, that the current enforcement of the tax code is unconstitutional and therefore illegal. It is also well known that the tax system is designed to feed the banking system to pay the interest on the money that Congress is supposed to mint, but they have given that power to the private bankers. This would be akin to a fox guarding the hen house scenario. I have written in the past about the illegality of the current income tax scheme; or more correctly, the illegal and unconstitutional methods the IRS uses to force people who are not liable for income tax to pay income tax. Congress has specific and limited means by which it may raise revenue (taxes) for the operation of the federal government. This limitation was made by design to ensure that the abusive taxation endured by the colonists would not be repeated by their newly formed government. read more
