Toadstools and Mushrooms and Other Larger Fungi of South Australia, Parts I and II (1934-1935)

Isn't it enough that I went and found the descriptions? I mean, jeez... The truth is that I looked for a few of them in YouTube and Google Video, but couldn't find them. And being that these were ones which I really thought were on there, I left the rest of the searching up to you guys. Cool?

Tasers have already claimed many people's lives. And not all of those people were "vulnerable" either. In fact, some of them were very healthy. Really? When was the last time you heard about a cop killing somebody by shooting them in the leg? Maybe if the following things were to occur (watch out people, I must be an expert! ), we would start seeing a better police force: 1/ Raise the base pay of the police officers. If they truly are "peace keepers", then they deserve to be treated that way. 2/ Stop giving pay rises to police officers who have simply raised revenue. Instead, only give pay rises to police officers who actually show incentive, and do things like solving crimes. 3/ Get rid of the "us and them" mentality which exists inside the force. It breeds too much distrust and contempt for the country's citizens. 4/ Only employ police officers who are intelligent and respectful. "To protect and serve" means nothing if the average police officer is a spineless meathead. 5/ Make police officers accountable as anybody else who would assault or murder another human being. 6/ Stop making police officers treat the law book like it's their bible. Instead, instruct them to put most of their focus towards the crimes which cause the most grief. 7/ Find out what this "paper work" problem is all about, and fix it. If new "crimes" have to be invented in order to keep the police in work, then I don't understand why we need them. 8/ Destroy all of the tasers, and never bring them back again. Damage doesn't always have to be physical either. What about psychological damage? In my opinion, that's one of the worst things which has happened to the AFP. By employing practically anybody, they're basically telling us that a badge and a gun is all the authority you need. But if that's the case, the only difference between Wyatt and the cowboys he killed was a piece of tin. The government always needs some sort of unhealthy divide though. Because if the police, the people and the army ended up on the same wave-length, there most probably wouldn't be any government left to speak of. Or I should say, there probably would be, although it would be very different to the current one, and many members of the current one would find it hard to get work in the new one.

Off the Grid: Life on the Mesa Twenty-Five miles from town, a million miles from mainstream society, a loose-knit community of radicals live in the desert, struggling to survive with little food, less water and no electricity, as they cling to their unique vision of the American dream.

Alone in the Wilderness Documentary tells the story of Dick Proenneke who, in the late 1960s, built his own cabin in the wilderness at the base of the Aleutian Peninsula, in what is now Lake Clark National Park.

Follow filmmaker Adam Scorgie as he demystifies the underground market and brings to light how an industry can function while remaining illegal. Through growers, police officers, criminologists, economists, doctors, politicians and pop culture icons, Scorgie examines the cause and effect nature of the business - an industry that may be profiting more by being illegal.

Arrowsmith - Outgrowing people is a good reminder of the importance of solitude. Without any moments by ourselves, how would we ever really know who we are? And without ever knowing who we really are, how could we ever sustain a meaningful relationship with anybody? Just some more thoughts to ponder I guess... dbbard - Thanks, that looks like a great site.

Stop Drinking Bottled Water Now!

I think I'd prefer Ionization myself. Reverse Osmosis filters too many nutrients. -
Then it would still be the most recent interview. Because the other one happened in May.

Clitocybe infundibuliformis is a nice one. It tastes like a tart and can be found in the South East.

As long as a person knows what to do, "homelessness" could be the best thing to ever happen to them. Anyway, just when I thought I couldn't be more envious of Dan, he goes and gets a better cabin to replace the original one. And not only that, but this new cabin was put together by Amish builders! http://www.whenshtf.com/showthread.php?34629-New-cabin-project-the-perfect-wilderness-retreat.
