  1. I would not be surprised if these companies would have felt it ok to go to 1930’s Germany. Or any other place where human life and freedom are devalued? They value an unborn fetus. Mothers — not so much — #8 in maternal mortality.

  2. Looking for a company called Brilliant Light and Power, Inc. On their web site they advertise for jobs that require moving to Austin, Texas.
    Is there any way to find out what their new address might be?
