Teen tied to tree overnight dies

Macclesfield, N.C. — A 13-year-old boy who was tied to a tree two nights this week died Thursday, and his father and stepmother have been charged with murder, authorities said Friday.

Brice Brian McMillan, 41, and Sandra Elizabeth McMillan, 36, both of 1110 Felton Farm Road in Macclesfield, have been charged with first-degree murder and felony child abuse. They were being held Friday in the Edgecombe County Detention Center without bond.

Deputies were called to the Felton Farm Road residence Thursday afternoon to assist paramedics with an unresponsive teen. The boy's father told deputies he had tied the teen to a tree outside the home Tuesday night because he was being disobedient and other disciplinary actions had failed.....

Carolyn Pollard, who lives across the road from the McMillans, said the family moved to the area about three months ago from Florida. The children were homeschooled, and the family kept to themselves, she said.

There Is Hope For Us Yet!

It seems that Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) has formally submitted an House Resolution for the Impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Cheney. It was voted immediately into committee where it will likely die. I have to give Kucinich credit for having the balls to at least follow through and present it. He gets kudos from me.

Who is really profiting off of the high oil prices?

I know this is not a home school issue, but for me it is a life issue right now. Outside of our house payment, food is the second largest expenditure in our budget and gas is now our third. Both have skyrocketed in the past 6 months.

Lindsey Williams, who has been an ordained Baptist minister for 28 years, went to Alaska in 1971 as a missionary. The Trans Alaska oil pipeline began its construction phase in 1974, and because of Mr. Williams' executive status, he was given access to the information that is documented in this book. He tells of the unbelievably huge oil reserves in Alaska and why they have been capped and will never come to market. He gives a breath taking account of the geo-politics behind the headlines of oil.

We are on the verge of an Iranian oil glut which will collapse the dollar. If half of what Mr. Williams says is true then we are in for some incredibly rough times. On April 30, 2008 Iran announced that they will no longer accept payment for oil in USD but in EURO's. The flood is almost upon us and so is war.

Here is his book which you can read online. Be ready to have your mind blown!

Here is a 75 minute speech he gave about 6 months ago which will give you the low down that you will never hear on mainstream media sources.

Elissa Wall Interview on Nancy Grace Tonight

Elissa Wall will be the featured guest on the CNN "Nancy Grace Show" tonight at 8 pm EST. She is the woman who brought Warren Jeffs down and she will be talking about what is going on with the YFZ case and now the House of Yahweh case. Should be an interesting interview.

Fred Flintstone comes to Mississippi

A bill approved yesterday by a Louisiana legislative panel brings religion into science classrooms and undercuts fundamental constitutional principles, according to Americans United for Separation of Church and State.

The House Education Committee unanimously approved Senate Bill 733, a measure that allows public school teachers to use supplementary materials when teaching about evolution.

The Louisiana Science Education Act has the backing of Religious Right groups such as the Louisiana Family Forum and the Discovery Institute and is clearly intended, critics say, to bring religious concepts into the science classroom. The bill is ardently opposed by teachers’ groups, scientists and advocates of church-state separation.

Said the Rev. Barry W. Lynn, Americans United executive director, “This bill isn’t about improving education in Louisiana; it’s about sneaking religion into the science classroom.

“If this passes, Louisiana legislators will be harming children’s education, undercutting the Constitution and holding the state up to national ridicule, “ Lynn continued “People will be asking whether Flintstones cartoons are going to be introduced as documentaries in Louisiana science classes.”

The Louisiana bill is one of several so-called “academic freedom” measures introduced in legislatures around the country this year at the behest of Religious Right forces. Bills were also introduced in Florida, Alabama, Missouri and other states.

Said Lynn, “The federal courts have repeatedly struck down every scheme designed to inject religious doctrines into public school science classes. These so-called ‘academic freedom’ bills are just the latest maneuver to try to get around those rulings.

“If this bill passes, and religious materials are brought into Louisiana public schools as a result, we will go to court to seek justice for the state’s children,” Lynn concluded.
