History of the Medical Use of Silver

History of the Medical Use of Silver
http://tse.colloidalsilverkillsviruses.com/pdf/history.pdf

excerpt:
During the early pioneer days on the North American
continent, when there was no refrigeration and water needed
to be transported long distances, it was common practice to
drop silver coins into the transport vessel to preserve water.
This practice also was used to preserve milk and prevent
spoilage, without knowledge that it was the prevention of
bacterial growth that caused the effect.

excerpt:
Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed.

Immigration and Poverty

Unfortunately, any effort to reduce the number of poor persons in the U.S. will be partially offset by current immigration policies. Each year, immigration (both legal and illegal) adds hundreds of thousands of new persons to the nation's poverty count. Overall, first-generation immigrants and their minor children account for nearly one-fourth of all poor people in the U.S.[37]

excerpt:
Conclusion

The living conditions of persons defined as poor by the government bear little resemblance to notions of "poverty" promoted by politicians and political activists. If poverty is defined as lacking adequate nutritious food for one's family, a reasonably warm and dry apartment to live in, or a car with which to get to work when one is needed, then there are relatively few poor persons remaining in the United States. Real material hardship does occur, but it is limited in scope and severity.
