Most people these days for want of an honest answer to our problems in America and the world  readily admitt that the Supreme Court vilated the constitution in its 1973 Roe vs. Wade decision to bar the 14th amendment from its jurisdiction, thus sanctioning abortion on demand.

Since then 55 million plus americans have been killed in what should be the safest place on earth, their mother’s womb. None of us are safe without fidelity to the devine institution of marriage. The 14th amendment establishes our identity and rights proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence as endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights. Without this moral law in our halls of justice the state, health and human services continues to develop its own laws as to who lives or dies.

Among these rights are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, (eternally). This pertains to the fruit of marital love, children and the very joy of heaven on earth. What God has joined together let no man put assunder. To error is human but to persever in error is diabolical. For this reason the founding fathers of our nation voucesate the 14th Amendement saying “Congress shall have the power to enforce this amendment”, which reads; ‘The state shall not deprive any person or life or property.’

There is such legislation in congress, it needs our complete attention and moral support. It is appropriately named The Life at Conception Act. This legislation would correct the supreme court’s error, restoring the sacred identity of every person born, and unborn as a matter of public record to be respected and nutured from conception to natural death.

You’re about to be hit with a double wallop of the most poisonous, naturally occurring substance on the planet.

This toxin is so potent that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established the Maximum Contaminant Level in drinking water at 2 parts per billion. At this ratio, one drop is sufficient to render 5,000 gallons of water unfit for human consumption.

And the federal government and your family dentist assure a plentiful supply of this element in our homes and in our bodies. By this time you may have guessed that this substance is mercury.

You see them everywhere: shops, homes, the lighting section in supermarkets. It’s those cork-screw-shaped compact fluorescent blubs, or CFB’s, that are supposed to be 25 percent more efficient than their incandescent counterparts. But they come at a high price and it’s not in dollars.

All fluorescent bulbs contain mercury. The compact ones contain as much as the period at the end of this sentence. But with mercury a little is a lot. Break one and you’re in trouble. How much trouble you may gather from the following EPA’s decontamination instructions:

1) It is important to cleanup immediately. Mercury is highly volatile; it changes rapidly from a liquid to a gas that can be inhaled.

2) Do not use a broom or a vacuum cleaner. They will only spread the contamination. Do have every one immediately leave the room. Ventilate the room by opening all windows and doors for 10 minutes.

3) Use disposable rubber gloves and push the glass, powder, and mercury onto a stiff piece of paper. Deposit the sweeping and paper into a glass jar with a metal screw-on lid. Label the container “Universal Waste —- Broken Fluorescent Lamp” and date it. Dispose of the rubber gloves outside of the house. Lastly, find out how to legally dispose of the glass jar.

4) If the blub breaks on a carpet, cut out the contaminated section and remove it from your house.

Of course not everyone knows how to dispose of a broken fluorescent bulb. Even if some do, they may not follow the EPA’s decontamination instructions. And it’s a sure bet that billions of these hazardous bulbs will end up in landfills.

The government has targeted 2014 for incandescent bulbs to be 30 percent more efficient and an impossible 70 percent more efficient by 2020. This, in effect, bans common household bulb; it’s either CFBs or candles.

However, it you listen to your dentist, you will have to imagine that this unimaginably hazardous material becomes magically harmless once it is used for a filling. Really? Let’s examine silver amalgams and see how harmless they are.

Silver fillings are 50 percent mercury; that’s more than twice as much as all the other ingredients combined. As such, they are more accurately called mercury fillings, which is what we shall call them.

The metals in a mercury filling are not chemically combined. They are a mixture and a mixture can be easily unmixed. Chewing, brushing, bruxism, hot liquids all serve to release mercury into the oral cavity where it can pass through the blood-brain barrier and enter the brain, or it can be inhaled into the lungs and pass into the blood stream.

Additionally, mercury can enter the body through the canals in the tooth and pass directly into the blood stream.

It is estimated that 34 micrograms of mercury are emitted per day for each filling. An almost insignificant amount. But multiply this by the average number of fillings an adult has, 8, and it’s 272 micrograms. Finally, multiply this by 365 days and you have a yearly dose of almost 100,000 micrograms of mercury. A not insignificant number.

According to a study by the University of Calgary, mercury fillings are a major contributor to the mercury load in the body.

Sweden outlawed its use after examining the brains and kidneys of cadavers. A direct correlation was found between the number of fillings and the mercury load in these organs.

The good news is that about half of all dentists have abandoned the use of mercury. You might want to check with your dentist to see which group he falls into: the magically harmless believers or the potently toxic converts.
