The cops will push too far and somebody is going to fire back.

(SALEM) - It seems inevitable that Americans will soon be engaged in a revolutionary war the likes of which has never been imagined, and I say the 99% will win, and the government will lose. Of the people, by the people, for the people...

Flawed Studies Used to Claim Circumcision Reduces HIV Infection

"... Unfortunately, it appears that this compulsion continues to drive some professionals and authorities to promote circumcision without proper critical analysis."

(BOSTON) - An article in the December Journal of Law and Medicine cites numerous flaws in three African studies that claim male circumcision reduces transmission of HIV.
