When I was a young man living in London, a city with about 8 million people then, it was never necessary to buy a car. I could get anywhere in London or its suburbs very easily by bus, trolley car, tram or train.

On June 6th 2007 I started my posting with this sentence. This blog has been in existence for a year and a day, so every pagan will understand why I have to put something on it today, whatever.

Having attended a Solstice ritual yesterday with crowds of pagan folks from different communities and beliefs getting together to celebrate something bigger than any of them, I was reminded of the way that pagan religions are still non-ised by the media, or lied about.

You can tell how ancient I am when I say that in my youth people used to argue about things and demand to see something in black and white before believing it. For the current generation I would probably have to translate that…it means ‘ on the printed page,’ white paper and black ink. Pages, like in books.

I was going to dive straight into my promised posting about Laetrile and the chicanery of people supposed to be on the side of health. But I just received a newsletter (6/2009) from my amazing chiropractor, Dr. Scott Stratton of Frankfort, Illinois. As it relates directly to the ploy that the FDA and their buddies in Big Pharma have been working toward for twenty years, and also relates to the article I was about to write, I thought to crib and modify a few cogent lines from it.
