Now you can get what my concern is all about, for the ones that didnt get it the last time.

Please read this... if you were not scared before.......

  
         The  following is a narrative taken from Sunday Morning's televised "Meet The  Press', and the author is employed by none other than the Washington  Post!!  Yeah......the Washington Post of New York and Los Angeles Times fame!!  Must say that I'm duely  impressed..................
 
    

From Sunday's  Televised "Meet the Press" Senator Obama was asked

about his  stance on the American Flag.  Obama Explains National Anthem  Stance
 
Sun, 07 Sept. 2008 11:48:04 EST, General Bill Ginn'  USAF (ret.) asked Obama
to explain why he doesn't  follow protocol  when the National Anthem is played.
 
The General also stated  to the Senator that according to the United States Code,  

Title 36,  Chapter 10, Sec. 171... During rendition of the national anthem when the  

flag is  displayed, all present except those in uniform are expected to stand at  attention

facing the  flag with the right hand over the heart.  At the very least, "Stand and  Face It."

Senator Obama Live on Sunday states, "As I've said about  the flag pin, I don't want

to be  perceived as taking sides, Obama said.  "There are a lot of people in the  world

to whom the  American flag is a symbol of oppression,  and the anthem itself  conveys

a war-like  message.  You know, the bombs bursting in air and all.  It should be swapped

for something less parochial and less bellicose.  I like the song "I'd Like To Teach the

World To  Sing."  If that were our anthem, then I might salute it.  "We should consider to

reinvent our National Anthem as well as to redesign our Flag to better offer our enemies

hope and  love.  It's my intention, if elected, to disarm America to the level of  acceptance

to our  Middle East Brethren.  If we as a Nation of warring people, should conduct   ourselves as the  nations of Islam, whereas peace prevails.  Perhaps a state or period of   mutual concord between our  governments.  When I become President, I will seek a pact   or agreement to  end hostilities  between those who have been at war or in a state of   enmity, and a freedom  from disquieting  oppressive thoughts.  We as a Nation have   placed upon the nations of Islam an unfair injustice.  My wife disrespects the Flag for   many personal reasons.  Together she and I have attended several flag burning   ceremonies in the past, many years ago.  She has her views and I  have mine."  Of   course now,  I have found myself about to become the  President of the United States   and I have put aside my hatred.  I will  use my power to bring  CHANGE  to this Nation,   and offer the people a new path of hope.  My wife and I look  forward to becoming our   Country's First Family.  Indeed, CHANGE is about to overwhelm the United  States of America.   


WHAAAAAAAT the Hell !!!

Yes, ladies  and gentlemen, you heard it right. This could possibly be our next  President.

I, for  one, am speechless.



Dale  Lindsborg,

Washington  Post

SO I HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS BUT THIS IS A KEY QUESTION

Why are we overlooking a very obvious fact.  What makes a man a good candidate to run for president of the United States of America when he wont even show our flag respect by putting his hand over his heart?  We wont go into the other issues.

I'm not even picking sides here cause I am not impressed in either of the big 2 choices we have.

What is going on with this country or the politicians that they cannot see this?

STUPID STUPID STUPID!

Those Small Baby
Carrots In Bags
CNN
9-25-8  The following is information from a farmer who grows and packages carrots for IGA, METRO, LOBLAWS, etc.   _____   The small cocktail (baby) carrots you buy in small plastic bags are made using the larger crooked or deformed carrots which are put through a machine which cuts and shapes them into cocktail carrots . most people probably know this already.   What you may not know and should know is the following: once the carrots are cut and shaped into cocktail carrots they are dipped in a solution of water and chlorine in order to preserve them (this is the same chlorine used your pool) since they do not have their skin or natural protective covering, they give them a higher dose of chlorine. You will notice that once you keep these carrots in your refrigerator for a few days, a white covering will form on the carrots, this is the chlorine which resurfaces. At what cost do we put our health at risk to have esthetically pleasing vegetables which are practically plastic?   We do hope that this information can be passed on to as many people as possible in the hopes of informing them where these carrots come from and how they are processed. Chlorine is a very well known carcinogen. Please let us make this information available to as many people as possible. If you care about your family and friends, pass it on.  

FYI This was sent to my by a friend of mine who's son was shot for "disrespecting" two people that had crashed his party if they would please leave.

            Subject: Fw: best way to lock your car,

                          It is very troubling what lengths people will go
to, to steal something! Most of the time I lock
my car on the door lock inside when I exit the
car.  Little did I know that that is the best
way to lock your car, according to what a friend
sent me on the internet.  Read on.

While traveling, my friend stopped at the roadside rest stop with
bathrooms, vending machines, etc.  He came out to his car less than 4-5
minutes later and found someone had gotten into his car, and stolen his
cell phone, laptop computer, GPS navigator, briefcase.....you name it.  He
called the police and since there were no signs of his car being broken
into.  The police told him that there is a device that robbers are using
now to clone your security code when you lock your doors on your car using
your key-chain locking device (transmitter). They sit a distance away and
watch for their next victim.  Since they know you are going inside of the
store, restaurant, or bathroom, it gives them a few minutes to steal and
run.

The police officer said to be sure to manually lock your car door by
hitting the lock button inside the car, that way if there is someone
sitting in a parking lot watching for their next v ictim, it will not be
you.

When you hit the lock button on your car upon exiting...it does not send
the security code, but if you walk away and use the door lock on your key
chain, it sends the code thru the airwaves where it can be stolen.

I just wanted to let you know about this...it is something totally new to
me...and this is real...it just happened this past Thursday.

So be aware of this and please pass this note on...look how many times we
all lock our doors with our keys (transmitters)...just to be sure we
remembered to lock them....and bingo the guys have our code...and whatever
was in the car...can be gone.  Keep safe everyone!

 PHONE

THIS WAS ONE OF THE 'GOOD OLD DAYS' WHEN PEOPLE REALLY CARED ABOUT
EACH OTHER.

When I was quite young, my father had one of the first telephones in our
neighborhood. I remember the polished, old case fastened to the wall. The shiny receiver
hung on the side of the box. I was too little to reach the telephone, but used to listen with
fascination when my mother talked to it.

Then I discovered that somewhere inside the wonderful device lived an amazing person.
Her name was 'Information Please' and there was nothing she did not know. Information
Please could supply anyone's number and the correct time.

My personal experience with the genie-in-a-bottle came one day while my Mother was
visiting a neighbor. Amusing myself at the tool bench in the basement, I whacked my
finger with a hammer, the pain was terrible, but there seemed no point in crying because
there was no one home to give sympathy.

I walked around the house sucking my throbbing finger, finally arriving at the stairway.
The telephone! Quickly, I ran for the footstool in the Parlor and dragged it to the landing
climbing up; I unhooked the receiver in the parlor and held it to my ear.

'Information, please,' I said into the mouthpiece just above my head. A click or two and
a small clear voice spoke into my ear.

'Information.'

'I hurt my finger,' I wailed into the phone, the tears came readily enough now that I had an
audience.

'Isn't your mother home?' came the question.

'Nobody's home but me,' I blubbered.

'Are you bleeding?' the voice asked.

'No,' I replied. 'I hit my finger with the hammer and it hurts.'
'Can you open the icebox?' she asked.

I said I could.

'Then chip off a little bit of ice and hold it to your finger,' said the voice.

After that, I called 'Information Please' for everything. I asked her for help with my geography,
and she told me where Philadelphia was. She helped me with my math. She told me my pet
chipmunk that I had caught in the park just the day before, would eat fruit and nuts.

Then, there was the time Petey, our pet canary, died. I called, 'Information Please,' and told
her the sad story. She listened, and then said things grown-ups say to soothe a child. But I
was not consoled. I asked her, 'Why is it that birds should sing so beautifully and bring Joy
to all families, only to end up as a heap of feathers on the bottom of a cage?'

She must have sensed my deep concern, for she said quietly, ' Wayne, always remember that
there are other worlds to sing in.'

Somehow I felt better .

Another day I was on the telephone, 'Information Please.'
'Information,' said in the now familiar voice.
'How do I spell fix?' I asked.

All this took place in a small town in the Pacific Northwest. When I was nine years old, we
moved across the country to Boston.I missed my friend very much. 'Information Please'
belonged in that old wooden box back home and I somehow never thought of trying the
shiny new phone that sat on the table in the hall. As I grew into my teens, the memories
of those childhood conversations never really left me .

Often, in moments of doubt and perplexity I would recall the serene sense of security
I had then. I appreciated now how patient, understanding, and kind she was to have
spent her time on a little boy.

A few years later, on my way west to college, my plane put down in Seattle I had about
a half-hour or so between planes. I spent 15 minutes or so on the phone with my sister,
who lived there now. Then without thinking what I was doing, I dialed my hometown
Operator and said, 'Information Please .'

Miraculously, I heard the small, clear voice I knew so well. 'Information.'

I hadn't planned this, but I heard myself saying, ' Could you please tell me how to spell fix?'

There was a long pause. Then came the soft spoken answer, 'I guess your finger must have
healed by now.'

I laughed, 'So it's really you,' I said. 'I wonder if you have any idea how much you meant to
me during that time?'

'I wonder,' she said, 'if you know how much your call meant to me. I never had any children
and I used to look forward to your calls.'

I told her how often I had thought of her over the years and I asked if I could call her again
when I came back to visit my sister.

'Please do,' she said. 'Just ask for Sally.'

Three months later I was back in Seattle a different voice answered:  Information.' I asked for
Sally.

'Are you a friend?' she said..

'Yes, a very old friend,' I answered.

'I'm sorry to have to tell you this,' she said. 'Sally had been working part-time the last few
years because she was sick. She died five weeks ago.'

Before I could hang up she said, 'Wait a minute, did you say your name was Wayne?'
'Yes.' I answered .

'Well, Sally left a message for you. She wrote it down in case you called. Let me read
it to you.' The note said, 'Tell him there are other worlds to sing in. He'll know what I mean.'

I thanked her and hung up. I knew what Sally meant.

Never underestimate the impression you may make on others.

Whose life have you touched today ?

Why not pass this on? I just did....

Lifting you on eagle's wings. May you find the joy and peace you long for.

Life is a journey ... NOT a guided tour. So don't miss the ride and have a great time
going around.  You don't get a second shot at it.

 

THE GINGHAM DRESS
A lady in a faded gingham dress and her husband, dressed in a homespun threadbare suit, stepped off the train in Boston, and walked timidly without an appointment in to the Harvard University President's outer office.
The secretary could tell in a moment that such backwoods, country hicks had no business at Harvard and probably didn't even deserve to be in Cambridge .
'We'd like to see the president,' the man said softly.  'He'll be busy all day,' the secretary snapped. 'We'll wait,' the lady replied.
For hours the secretary ignored them, hoping that the couple would finally become discouraged and go a way. They didn't, and the secretary grew frustrated and finally decided to disturb the president, even though it was a chore she always regretted.
'Maybe if you see them for a few minutes, they'll leave,' she said to him!
He sighed in exasperation and nodded. Someone of his importance obviously didn't have the time to spend with them, and he detested gingham dresses and homespun suits cluttering up his outer  office.
The president, stern faced and with dignity, strutted toward the couple. The lady told him, 'We had a son who attended Harvard for one year.
He loved Harvard. He was happy here. But about a year ago, he was accidentally killed. My husband and I would like to erect a memorial to him, somewhere on campus.'
The president wasn't touched. He was shocked. 'Madam,' he said, gruffly, 'we can't put up a statue for every person who attended Harvard and died. If we did, this place would look like a cemetery.'
'Oh, no,' the lady explained quickly. 'We don't want to erect a statue. We thought we would like to give a building to Harvard.'
The president rolled his eyes. He glanced at the gingham dress and homespun suit, then exclaimed, 'A building! Do you have any earthly idea how much a building costs? We have over seven and a half million dollars in the physical buildings here at Harvard.'
For a moment the lady was silent. The president was pleased. Maybe he could get rid of them now.
The lady turned to her husband and said quietly, 'Is that all it costs to start a university? Why don't we just start our own?'
Her husband nodded. The president's face wilted in confusion and bewilderment. Mr. and Mrs. Leland Stanford got up and walked away, traveling to Palo Alto , California where they established the university that bears their name, Stanford University, a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer cared about.
You can easily judge the character of others by how they treat those who they think can do nothing for them.

'People will forget  what you said, People will forget what you did.   But people will never forget how you made them feel'.

            1. Ever heard of the Bakken Formation?   GOOGLE it.  It will
blow your mind.

            The U.S. Geological Service issued a report in April ('08)
that only scientists and oilmen/women knew was coming, but man
was it big. It was a revised report (hadn't been updated since
'95) on how much oil was in this area of the western 2/3 of
North Dakota; western South Dakota; and extreme eastern
Montana ... check THIS out:

            The Bakken is the largest domestic oil discovery since Alaska
's Prudhoe Bay , and has the potential to eliminate all
American dependence on foreign oil. The Energy Information
Administration (EIA) estimates it at 503 billion barrels. Even
if just 10% of the oil is recoverable... at $107 a barrel,
we're looking at a resource base worth more than $5.3
trillion.

            'When I first briefed legislators on this, you could
practically see their jaws hit the floor. They had no idea.'
says Terry Johnson, the Montana Legislature's financial
analyst.

            'This sizable find is now the highest-producing onshore oil
field found in the past 56 years,' reports The Pittsburgh Post
Gazette. It's a formation known as the Williston Basin , but
is more commonly referred to as the 'Bakken.' And it stretches
from Northern Montana, through North Dakota and into Canada .
For years, U.S. oil exploration has been considered a dead
end. Even the 'Big Oil' companies gave up searching for major
oil wells decades ago. However, a recent technological
breakthrough has opened up the Bakken's massive reserves...
and we now have access of up to 500 billion barrels. And
because this is light, sweet oil, those billions of barrels
will cost Americans just $16 PER BARREL!

            That's enough crude to fully fuel the American economy for 41
years straight.

            2. [And if THAT didn't throw you on the floor, then this next
one should - because it's from TWO YEARS AGO, people!]

            U.S. Oil Discovery- Largest Reserve in the World! Stansberry
Report Online - 4/20/2006 Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the
surface of the Rocky Mountai ns lies the largest untapped oil
reserve in the world is more than 2 TRILLION barrels. On
August 8, 2005 President Bush mandated its extraction.

            [(???) What the!??]

            They reported this stunning news: We have more oil inside our
borders, than all the other proven reserves on earth. Here are
the official estimates:

            -8-times as much oil as Saudi Arabia
            -18-times as much oil as Iraq
            -21-times as much oil as Kuwait
            -22-times as much oil as Iran
            -500-times as much oil as Yemen - and it's all right here in the

            Western United States.

            HOW can this BE!? HOW can we NOT BE extracting this!? Because
some goofy politicians have blocked all efforts to help
America become independent of foreign oil.

            James Bartis, lead researcher with the study says we've got
more oil in this very compact area than the entire Middle East
-more than 2 TRILLION barrels. Untapped. That's more than all
the proven oil reserves of crude oil in the world today,
reports The Denver Post

            -Don't think 'OPEC' will drop its price - even with this find?
Think again! It's all about the competitive marketplace, - it
has to. ----
            [Got your attention/ire up yet? Hope so! Now, while you're
thinking about it ... and hopefully you’ll do this:

            3. Take a couple minutes and compose an e-mail; fax or good
old-fashioned letter to all your friends and associates. Alert
them to the fact that unethical politicians  have been and
will continue to obstruct all plans to make America 
independent of foreign oil.  Something has to be done and NOW.

            If you don't take a little time to do this, then you should
stifle yourself the next time you want to complain about gas
prices .. because by doing NOTHING, you've forfeited your
right to complain.

I was in the store the other night waiting my turn in line, when a frantic woman carrying her toddler came running up asking where customer service was.  I pointed it out and off she went, then several of her friends followed in a panic. They then started pacing the aisles calling out the names of the children missing.

I knew that look, its sheer terror the moment you dont know where your child is, have they wandered off or has some evil person walked off with them?

I soon saw that they had all regrouped and everyone looked calm and happy once again, but I wanted to butt in, maybe put myself in someone elses business, but this time I decided not to.

As I was driving home it occurred to me,this is an important issue.  I talked to my  kids about everything. Things that do happen, things that have happened, and things that might possibly happen. Then I decided to arm them with knowledge of what to do just in case they found themselves in just such a situation..

If you are in a store of course you are supposed to keep your children with you at all times but I have seen a well intentioned family member give the kid a break and let them down out of the cart to get a closer look at a toy and instantly they are gone.

I came up with a plan for us one that they knew from front to back word for word.  If we got separated, first thing was to call out MOM or my name, then find a person that works for the store  and if they cant then find customer service or security, and let them know that you are missing your parent, could they page your parent for you.

NEVER I repeat Never, go with a stranger that says that the parent sent them to get them for her. Because under no circumstances would it be anyone other than me, their dad or their grandma that might be picking them up.  BUT  in the off chance that something bizarre happened and one of us couldnt make it, to never get in with the person unless they had the special word. (now this was a word I let my children make up, so it meant something to them) one that no one else was told ever and not an easily guessed everyday word.  (I had heard the story of Steven a little boy that went off with a man that lied to him and told him that his parents had to leave but asked this man to keep him, and then he slowly proceded to brainwash this boy for years and was using him for perverted stuff and pictures and such.

It is very important for parents to try to cover all the bases, about the weird and strange and not so nice things that happen in this world to children everyday, Let them be prepared, what to do if someone grabbed them, scream and kick and let anyone else around know that they did NOT want to go with this person.  I told them to stick their fingers or thumbs into their abductors eyes if they had to to get away. (funny thing, even after all that my kids said "but mommy if I do that I could poke his eyes out" I said yes honey and if this person is grabbing you taking you somewhere you dont want to go, just what do you think they are going to do to you? They are planning on hurting you, so you hurt them first and get away and run like crazy, Then get to a safe place, knock on neighbors doors or police or security something like that.

I hated having to tell my kids that there are mean and awful people in this world, and that it isnt  all a warm and fuxxy place full of love and caring people, but in reality it isnt.

So parents, work out a plan with you kids much like the plan you have worked out on how to get out of the house if there should be a fire, the excape route, crawling low on the floor, dont open a door that feels hot to the touch, try to get to a window and kick it out and the screen out if possible. Call 911 if you can get to a phone and if you dont have enough time just let the phone dangle, the operator can usually track where the call is coming from.

Also if you can first place to go in a store is the entrance and exit to make sure no one leaves the store with your child, and let every one know that you are looking for a child and the description.  My son was missing for about 45 seconds, come to find out he walked a few aisles over and was talking to a store clerk that was busy working.

Sound like I over reacted? Well she told me that it had happened not so long before that a little girl slipped away from her parents that acted quickly like I had and they found the little girl, in the mens room with a man that was cutting off all her hair and had boys clothes to dress her in. They were very lucky.

You dont have to nag them, kind of make a game of it. let them pick out their own safety route, the secret name and so on but to stick to it,and remind them from time to time when you are going shopping, what to do.

Some of you have probably already thought of this and already had these talks with your children, but for those of you that havent, like tha frazzled lady I saw and the Walmart, maybe its time you do have the safety talk.

I AM PUTTING THIS WITH THE NEWS BECAUSE I FEEL IT IS VERY IMPORTANT

  545 People
 
by Charlie Reese Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them. Have you ever wondered why, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, we have deficits? Have you ever wondered why, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, we have inflation and high taxes? You and I don't propose a federal budget. The president does. You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does. You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does. You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does. You and I don't control monetary policy, The Federal Reserve Bank does. One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president and nine Supreme Court justices - 545 human beings out of the 300 million - are directly, legally, morally and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country. I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered but private central bank. I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman or a president to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes. Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party. What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits. The president can only propose a budget He cannot force the Congress to accept it. The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House? She is the leader of the majority party She and fellow House members, not the president, can approve an y budget they want. If the president vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to. It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million can not replace 545 people who stand convicted � by present facts - of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist. If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair. If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red. If the Marines are in IRAQ , it's because they want them in IRAQ . If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way. There are no insoluble government problems. Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like 'the economy,' 'inflation' or 'politics' that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do. Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible. They, and they alone, have the power. They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses - provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees. We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!

  Can I Borrow $25?

   A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his
    5-year  Old son waiting for him at the door.

    SON: 'Daddy, may I ask you a question?'
    DAD: 'Yeah sure, what it is?' replied the man.
    SON: 'Daddy, how much do you make an hour?'
    DAD: 'That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?' the
  Man said angrily.
   SON: 'I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an
    Hour?'
    DAD: 'If you must know, I make $50 an hour.'
    SON: 'Oh,' the little boy replied, with his head down.
   SON: 'Daddy, may I please borrow $25?'

    The father was furious, 'If the only reason you asked that is so you 
Can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then
   You march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about
   Why
    You are being so selfish.. I don't work hard everyday for such   
Childish
   Frivolities.' The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the
    Door.

   The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little   
Boy's'
    Questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?   
After
   About an hour or so, the man had calmed down , and started to think:
    Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $25.00
   And  he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door
     of
     The little boy's room and opened the door. 'Are you asleep, son?' He
    Asked. 'No daddy, I'm awake,' replied the boy. 'I've been thinking,
     Maybe I was too hard on you earlier' said the man. 'It's been a long
  Day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $25 you
    Asked for.'

     The little boy sat straight up, smiling. 'Oh, thank you daddy!'    He
yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some   
Crumpled
     Up bills. The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get
  Angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then
  Looked up at his father. 'Why do you want more money if you already
    Have some?' the father grumbled.. Because I didn't have enough, but
     Now
     I do,' the little boy replied. 'Daddy, I have $50 now. Can I buy an 
Hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to
  Have dinner with you.'


     The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he
    Begged for his forgiveness. It's just a short reminder to all of you
     Working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our   
Fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter 
to
    us, those close to our hearts. Do remember to share that $50 worth of
  Your time with someone you love..

     If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily
  Replace us in a matter of hours. But the family & friends we leave
  Behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.


     From my house to yours


    'The light of God surrounds us.
     The love of God enfolds us.
     The power of God protects us.
    The presence of God watches over us.
    Wherever we are God is and all is well.'
