But eventually let it go…. A child diagnosed with autism every 20 minutes? I have to wonder at what point and for what reasons doctors started giving so many vaccines at once anyway.

And parents – are adults so cowed by physician authority that that would so easily allow so many shots at one visit? I refused that plan for…
Thanks to Memere’s email delivery service…. with a couple of slight corrections… The George W Bush Presidential Museum is now in the planning stages. It was supposed to be a library, but the planners kept resigning. You’ll want to be one of the first to make a contribution to this great man’s legacy.

Take Action: Tell Congress: Reject Bush’s Cuts to Public Broadcasting Once again, President Bush is trying to cripple the public broadcasting system by slashing its funding. I just signed a petition to Congress to reject these proposed cuts, and I hope you will too. Mr. Rogers would be proud of you. In 1969, Richard Nixon attempted to cut PBS funding by 50%.
