I find this fascinating! A doctor or scientist says that there is no proven tests results to show that Glucosamine Chondroitin actually has any substance associated to it to ease joint aches and pains and lubricate and built cartilage. Well, he only referred to the elimination of pain. He said what happens is the placebo effect. That people who take it (myself included) actually believe that Glucosamine Chondroitin will ease their joint pains so it does! If only all of life was that easy to control.
Well, let's think about this. Whenever I hear someone mention the placebo effect they brush it off like so psychological mumbo. jumbo They glaze over and tread lightly the thoughts and principles behind the "placebo effect".
The scientist today made it sound like people were wasting their time taking this stuff although it caused no harm. In my own mind what I heard sounded like "The Secret" in action! The same thing happens to me when I take Glucosamine Chondroitin - the pain goes away. And I firmly believe that the cartilage in my knees and elsewhere are healthy and youthful. My veins clear, my skin youthful, my appearance youthful in everyway. I look and feel like a 35 year old (there, let's see how that turns out!)
Call it the placebo effect, I don't care. Call it wishful thinking. Better yet, call it creating your own reality - The Secret - in action.
Wish it, want it, dream it, then let it go and later on when you least expect it, when it's out of your mind...you'll realize that it is coming to pass!
Think about it. In retrospect have you ever wanted something and then it happened. Or you got something in a rather magical way. Like the pieces or timing was perfect. A day when you followed your instincts and then watched things unfold as you realized you had planned.
Okay, I'll share this little story with you. Last fall while driving to a running event alone I prayed the day be magical. I felt the power in my heart. The day was magically beautiful as it was; a crisp, brilliantly shinning fall day. The shy ever so blue and trees beginning to turn golden My heart was singing with unknown expectations. I knew the day would be magical for some reason...I felt it.
The events had it's mishaps which I demanded mentally who not stop me from crossing the finish line. And I did cross the finish line..so very grateful. Yes, the day was magical. But, then I dared to even ask for more. I wanted romance - now. It had been almost two years!
Oddly enough mixing in the crowd afterwards I noticed that people were extremely friendly with smiling faces and asking me questions about different techniques and power gels. And then she was there looking at me rather wantingly I would dare say. I had known her, or more so, of her for a few years now. We had both come alone..no distractions, so we could talk...how convenient (thanks to the universe). There was no one to over hear or add comments. Sometimes it's a good idea to go places and participate in events by yourself. I think you pay atention to other people more and be alone gives you an opportunity to meet new people. You make more of an effort I think.
Which reminds me for months before this event I knew, I felt that I just had to attend this one although no one else I knew was going. I had my mind set on participating. It was like I had to attend this event. So I did.
Anyway, she and I got to talking, in the course of the conversation, although not specifically pointed out to involve each other, we both spoke of wanting the same thing - I called it romance. Longer story cut short - we were together the next day! And it was magical!
Funny when things are meant to be for me and I am in the process of creating my reality I have, in retrospect, felt that that is when I am the most confident and "know what I'm doing". I felt that when I was with her. That it was meant to be! It's been months and we still see each other on a regular basis. It's still magical too!
Anyway, I guess I got side tracked from the subject of the "placebo effect". My point that I wanted to make is that why did the doctors or scientist or whoever was performing the tests, take the placebo effect so lightly. Making the man in the test with the good results look like a fool for taking supplements that were tested to be useless (but wouldn't harm him). Giving the impression that the placebo effect was just a subconscious, wishful thinking phenomenon that wouldn't last anyway. Like he was wasting his time. Anyway, I didn't like the fact that he discredited Glucosmaine Chondroitin. Like we were fools for believing in supplements. Maybe he was a pharmacuecial salesman.
Anyway, what I think is important about the whole thing is the placebo effect. You know too, a few years ago I had a mid life crisis I guess. Things in my life were all wrong. Some people get disease when their life is out of order...me not. In retrospect I think I didn't get disease because I am so into health. I mentally, psychologically, subconsiously pushed away disease. Instead, I fell hopelessly, smack in on the side of the head, in love. Yes, she was my catalyst to a life change. I know that is exactly what she was. She was an angel. The warmest most loving woman I have ever meant. I still think about her. And if thinking is praying her life so be wonderful. I still feel her in my heart. She saved my life.
What I'm saying here in probably a rather bad way, is that we have some control. In fact, I think, we have a lot of control on how our life can unfold. I had to move away from my family who were draining the very life out of me. I had to end a long term relationship. I had to find a different path. The time we were meant to be together had come to an end.
It's been over two years and I am still estranged from family. Thank you, universe! Free at last! However, I have a very good relationship now with my ex. She is very important to me. We were always good friends. Anyway, she has a girlfriend for over a year now and is doing good. And I like her girlfriend.
So, I think things worked out wonderfully. From time to time I still miss the good doctor. I miss how she cared for me. She felt bad because she couldn't fix me. She and I both knew what was happening to me that day..I was having an emotional crisis. It all worked out! It was truly a magical moment. She changed my life which had to be changed. I know now that I choose love over disease as a way to move on with my life.
So speaking of disease or the lack of, I wish to thank the universe for all of my life lessons, for my good health, the loves in my life, my pain free existence. Life being accident and injury free. Prosperous in so many ways. In just economically draught times, I thank the universe for being one who loves to live simply. Thank you for my "good" old car. Thank you for nothing..breaking down. In advance thank you for my A/C inspection being "cheap" which I know it will be because I'm planning it to be. Spiritually, I have an abundance of wealth. There is nothing I need or want materially. I'm very fortunate (thank you) to be so very frugal. But most of all I'm very fortunate to know "The Secret".

"The End of Oil"
a book written by Paul Roberts. Written in 2004. Gives great insight to the future of oil and it's end. I just read the prologue and was enlightened.
Some day the supply of oil will cease in Saudi Arabia. Our biggest suppliers are Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, and Iran. I'm connecting the dots here. The New World Order which the Bush administration is all for, and invowed entails all of the New World, the Western Hemisphere: North America, Canada, and South America all the way to the lower tip of Argentina.
We are aiming for an oil foothold in Venezuela (South America). We have already talked of "Iran is next" after we pull out of Iraq. See, Hillary has hinted at it, perhaps by mistake? Personally, I do believe that the United States is in such trouble and so beholden ed to so many countries and their oil supplies that both parties actually are forced to think as one.
I believe both parties realize and know already that when we pull out of Iraq, they will find an excuse to move the 100,000 private corporations established now in Iraq, next door to Iran. I think that England and the United States plot there moves together. England's troops have already trespassed and hinted at getting into trouble with Iran. Perhaps so we can move in and "bail them out"? No, not bail out, rather get a foothold in Iran for the real purpose of protecting our oil interest there. We have already established a foot hold concerning "our interest" in Iraq.
In previous speeches haven't you heard Bush slip in those very words regarding our foothold in Iraq: "to protect out interest there". Well, "our" interest there, is "oil". I'm guessing about 90% of our supply or there abouts comes from the Middle East.
I say, change the way we do business. It's easy thinking: Wind mills to produce electricity! Can you get any simpler? Okay, if you won't go for that Mr. Bush administration, how about like what Brazil "learned to do, as we should have done, back in 1974 with the oil embargo situation, and that is turn to renewable resources. Meaning use something we can grow over and over again. Simple you say? Brazil's economy is based on the sugar cane crop and believe me they do not waste a fiber of it. What is not turned into sugar products gets cooked up, fermented (like booze), into fuel. Yes, if they didn't add a poison to it and a bitter taste we could possibly have a bunch of drunken drivers leaving the filling stations. I can see the guy filling his car tank equiped with a cup in hand and slurring: " A little for you, a little for me!" Yes, if the "distilleries" that convert (cook) sugar cane stalks into fuel, didn't add something poisonous and ugly tasting, people could and probably would drink it and get drunk. I think this is fascinating personally how one country could become totally oil free and this year 2007 is there year to do just that.
In Brazil they drive "flex" cars with computers that automatically adjust the ratio portions used of petroleum and Ethanol (sugar cane) so that as Brazil's eases into an all Ethanol use country the Flex cars can adjust right along with progress.
We could be doing the very same thing here in this country and yes in some areas there is more Ethanol in the gas. We grow enough corn in this country and we could also use garbage to burn in our tanks. Then why don't we. Well, I think you already know the answers. Yes, at least two answers. The first: Government (our government), and industries such as oil and auto are making too much money on oil, hand over fit, to switch. Second: The government doesn't own every corn field in the country. In other words doesn't have a strong foothold in the farming business. To put it another way, they wouldn't make any money! You can't tell me this administration and it's cronies (daddy's buddies from way back) aren't making a killing on oil. Read Kevin Phillip's "The American Dynasty". A classic book which gives you the history of the Bush family and the Walker family. Bush was into oil and Walker's were bankers.
Oh yeah, way back when at the beginning of WWI 1914. Classic reading! Classic!
You realize that there is money in war. All wars boost economies and fill corporate pockets where usually some government people are associated with in the way of giving no bid contracts to corporate buddies. This stuff is so fascinating!
Well, I don't care if someone can make a buck but when it's eventually ruins the environment and melts glaciers and gets us into trouble then that's a different story. In other words, these guys are making lots of money, but not doing us any favors at all. They are so concerned and concentrating on filling their pockets and "winning" the race to rule the world that they have forgotten the real meaning of life. In the process of perpetuating greed, they are destroying the very planet around them. Once more they don't even care. It's so obvious to me. Greed is an enormous cancer that grows and spreads and quite frankly I do not believe that there is any cure for patriarchal, authoritarian, adulterated greed.
We, ordinary tax making, skimping to get by legal citizens of this country, come second, third or last after the illegals. Big money for a few comes first! Get the picture now? I wish that there was a "honesty and love all of mankind" pill. Where suddenly every one's hearts would be filled with love for one another and charity filled. Why, we could all have a piece of the pie and it wouldn't be an oil pie. I wish there was a pill to alleviate greed and promote goodwill. There should be more (women perhaps could do a better job of promoting love and goodwill?) women like Oprah.
Let's face it. These guys are out to win, kicking and punching all the way. They want to rule the whole world destroying it in the process. Who and what will be left on it to pass it on. They don't care it's the chase that's important. The big win!
It's for oil for god's sake..don't you see it! "My oil!" and "No, it's my oil!" Let's face it. These greedy people are holding back the progress and processes of mankind. I keep waiting for futuristic technologies we see so talenlyt displayed in the movies to "get here". Where transportation is clean and stream lined and ran by electricity or solar power. Where life is healthy, clean and naturally progressed. We as a society, as a global society, should be far more advanced then what we are now and things all things could be so much more cheaper for everyone. If only some people weren't so greedy!
If we were really a government by the people for the people, there would not be such a huge differential of class separation, which by the way is every growing more wider between very rich and very poor, on a daily "credit card maxed out" basis. The way our economy is headed - the middle class will be coming to an end soon. For years, so the rich could get even more rich, the middle class got the tax increases while corporations got the tax shelters and breaks. See where it got us? If the govenment continues to give corporations all the break and allowing off shoring and out sourcing of good paying jobs just where do you think that will leave this country. In debt ..until they go totally broke and homeless. And the tax base will be totally destroyed. Gee, how will Bush finance it wars then. Soon China will even give up on collecting or they will take over and own this country. We are so indebted to them now. What? Have we offered a few states as collateral already? I'm hoping these guys have planned ahead but I have a sneaking feelings they are only winging it. They are too greedy and wanting immediate gratification to even think about future conseqences or even trying to plan the future.
Now, on their own, and with the blessings of "our" [and I use that term loosely] government corporations are moving off shore to avoid taxes and investigation into ties with our government. Clue number one that government is in cahoot with corporations: No bid contracts to certain corporations in now headquartered in Dubai. Yes, corporations with Arab or Saudi in their names (non-American) are no bid contracted to "protect" our harbours and shipping ports. See where that new Home Land Security deal got us?
So much of our defense plan has become privatized ( and to me meaning unorganized and unsupervised by officials). How can the government keep tabs on all these private corporations? Where is the overseer? This appears as a breech of defense to me allowing loop holes for non securities.
I find it fascinating. But, I wonder just how far planned into the future do they actually plan. You know all these gray haired, or balded, white guys are getting older now. Will they past down their legacies to their sons who will continue on the destruction of the planet and therefore society's demise?
Can't we just have peace and share the wealth around the world? Is that too much to ask. Aren't you all just plain tired of fighting and killing each other? There is enough wealth to go around. Just how big of a vehicle to you need? How big a house? How big an ass? We are a society of greed and hedonism. We have to have it now, thus the maxed out credit cards. Max one out just get another the banks love you for it. Because if you default on their "creative" financing they already have gotten their fees and hidden charges and penalties so they don't care if you go belly up and have to declare bankruptcy and lose your house and your car. The government will merely work with the, rich getter richer, bankers (hello Walker dynasty) and make declaring bankruptcy that much harder.
Bankers (financiers, charge card holders) are geniuses. They rip you off every which way from Sunday with fees, penalties, slightly hidden secret charges and more. They are geniuses at it!
Just when is enough enough? Now I'm a spiritual person and I believe in living simply so that others may simply live. I don't have much but I'm very happy. Have I already gotten the spiritual message ahead of you? After all we can't take it with us into the next life. What we can take is subconsciousness (our souls {our minds}) and wisdom. I think I've been around a few times before.
This world could be running smoothly like an expensive Rolex second hand if we all have our hearts in the right places. We are all spiritual yet you sure wouldn't know it by watching CNN. Have these guys (yes, sorry to say, mostly guys) not yet tapped into their spirituality? You know we are all spirits visiting here on earth as human being. You do know that don't you? Death and eternal damnation is a church teaching manly used to scare and control you. Personally, I think these guys (government and yes, the church) are soulfully lost. I guess they do not know what manufactured true happiness. They can be rich, the top of the heap, but are they truly happy to "win". It's all about winning? It should be all about loving.
Kick out the greedy (sorry, mostly male) leaders who do not share their oil wealth (in Africa) with their people. They let their people starve or die of disease while they sit on the riches. The church is no matter. They hang all their wealth on the ceilings of cathedrals. It's all for show I guess. Sibling rivalry at best! "Look at me mom!"
When are the people of this planet going to get the message? Hey, it's not about one upping your buddies with a bigger house and bigger car. The auto and oil industry has the consumer over a barrel and you fell for it. They want you to waste and burn fossil fuels. They make more money the more you get into debt. And what do you get? An ulcer, perhaps? A broken marriage. Spoiled kids who are just like you, wanting to keep up with the Jones.
It's advertising, people..and you're falling for it. It's all for profit, they're profit not yours. You are being had! Get back to nature, find your spirituality, and get back to life and love. Because you are spinning your wheels right into homelessness.
There are no benefits for the homeless. The government provides nothing. Look at the poor people of New Orleans. They got ditched. You know why? They had already maxed out their credit cards and had no jobs. So there was nothing anymore to take from them. Are you next?
Many people are a paycheck and probably two months away from homelessness. Read "Maxed Out" by James D. Scurlock. Read "Green with Envy" by Shira Boss. Get them from the library and get enlightened.
Simplify and get back to the basics of life. You don't have to go to Luckenbach, Texas with Waylon either to realize the important things in life. So sell those diamond rings buy some boots and faded jeans and be on your way..
Skip church and get into yourself. Watch "The Secret", "What the Bleep Do We Know?" and it's sequel "How Far Down the Rabbit Hole Do You Want To Go?" You will discover a whole new reality; one in which you do have some control! It's very cool!
Okay I'm done preaching. Now for my disclaimer. Hey, it's just me reading books, watching CNN, and regurgitating my take on things. But then I'm just the 800 pound gorilla in the room!
I love that commercial. You do know what it means don't you. See, your subconscious is the 800 pound gorilla. In other words you really know what you should do or how you should be you are merely denying or ignoring the real issues (kinda of like our present administration). I just had to get that last jab in :)

Meditating
I had one of those over-the-counter; well, rather behind the counter day time sinus capsules and I can't concentrate (or slow down enough) to read. And I just picked up four more books from the library. Suzie Orman's book for young people to read, one about the Mayan prophecies, and two about the monetary declination of the middle class.
Surprising I could silence and still myself enough to meditate about fifty minutes. I love to listen to alternative, new age kinda music as I meditate and lift myself high, rising above into space and the highest planes of consciousness. There I think of her and other loves in my life. I send peace waves and happy, loving positive energies to all living beings plant, animal or human.
I cry when my thoughts become emotional and things touch my heart. The little girl who was ten years old on the 20/20 Barbara Walters special about transgendered children. Just how long was it going to take the parents to get it! Reilly, needed that "thing" removed. The band aid of wearing dresses and sporting long hair wasn't enough in my mind's eye. The poor little thing cried and Barbara wrapped her arms around her. I think the parents should have let her have the operation along with the estrogen hormones and enter her into another school. Just wearing dresses was cutting it. The kids were calling her the girl with a dick! My heart broke for her and I cried right along with her.
The little girl, Reilly, born as a boy knew she wanted to be a girl with probably two years old. She wanted the pink cup. At two! She wanted to wear dresses. That "thing" did not belong on her. She covered with a hand cloth with one hand as she bathed in the shower. My god, why did the parents wait so long for her to have the operations. What difference what age? The kid was in misery. Suicidal! Why were the parent so slow to act!
Tell me just what is wrong with people? In their mind's eye everything has to be perfect according to social (church - I blame everything moment of suffering on the evil needless so called sins and rules of shame of the church) norms.
Humans, each and every one, are wonderful unique miracles. So, why are we so picking. Why don't parents smack their idiot kids on the side of the head when they make fun of people. It has been the only thing through the years that I can't tolerate. Because to make fun of some one tells them and the world that you think you are better. And just where do they get off thinking no one will turn around and talk about them. I guess they think they are above it all. I think anyone who criticizes and make derogatory remarks against any one else is about as ignorant as they can possibly be. A low life! Learn compassion is all I have to say!
Well, I couldn't meditate my cold or allergies (whatever?) away and I can't keep my eyes open so I guess it's time to bed.
Anyway. It's time to sleep. Someone just popped into my head..it's late maybe I'll call her tomorrow and see how she is doing.
I saw many friends today. Some for lunch and some for dinner. It was a wonderful bright cheery and loving day. At dinner I saw people I hadn't seen since before Christmas and it was wonderful because they are all even more friendly and I swear each invited me (well, three or fur different people) invited or suggests that I join in some things. Cool!
I love not really expecting anything out of people and then I'm very pleasantly surprised when I do. I think that is the secret to happiness involving people. My advice: "Don't expect anything and then you'll be pleasantly surprised when you do. Just want to share that!
As I meditated this evening I expressed my gratitude for all my many gifts and blessings. I am truly blessed - truly. I get the things and the people I have requested. In retrospect I do see that I do have "The Secret" power within. "order it and you'll receive it just like you order it, so be specific" Don't just say. "I want a man!" Because you will get just any man....crook or no crook etc., So think about what you want carefully. Be specific!
As I meditated I prayed and expressed gratitude for my friends and the loves that got away. The ones where the timely was wrong! How I still love her. The good doctor. She saved my life you know! And there has been other loves...all of which I am most grateful and extend positive their way. Good night!

A Mystery: The Flight of the Honey Bees
Where have all the bees gone? Einstein said when the honey bees go, human kind will go. For without honey bees there can be no plants.
It's a mystery which began in California about a month ago. I remember a fruit grower mystified by the fact that only about two thirds of the bees he had were still there.
Now it seems the strange phenomenon of the case of the disappearing bees has moved to Missouri.
Good thing I bought a 16 oz. jar of extra raw honey today at the natural food store. I was telling myself I still had a third jar remaining. But something told me to go ahead and buy a jar anyway, so I did. Now, I'm glad I did. Because it was $8.00 as it was and now the price will probably rise due to the up and coming honey shortage situation.
Now the bee shortage problem occurred at least a month ago in California and there was no reason to be had then. The bees just left their hives.
And now the same thing is happening here in Missouri. Maybe there's UFO's hovering above and the electrical charge they disperse is killing the bees. I hope not..on the late count.
Now that would be a distraction even the Bush team would not have been able to dream up. UFO's Do you think if sudden the night sky was filled with them Americans in Iraq would cease fighting? Would the sighting of UFO's do the trick?
Do you think we humans..well the men..would insist upon trying to shoot them down. "Beam them up Scottie". Boy, Schaftner doesn't look a thing like he used to look! Well I guess he does..only wider and full bodied.
I'm enjoying the last fire of the season this evening. I'll miss the red amber's, the pop, smacking, sparking cedar wood is making me jump occasionally. I'm sitting here half asleep.
I would like to go to sleep but don't really want to leave the fire. So, I'll lay on the couch...the poping will keep me awak.

War is for men, not women
Why women get caught up in this military stuff I'll never understand. Now you know some men make up excuses why you are there...like for sex? Men are egotistical enough to think if they want it you must want it. Shallow! Single minded! Morans!
Female soldiers not only have to fight the enemy. they have to worry about their co-soldiers raping them. Nice guys! Women can never let their guard now. Some soldiers higher ups try to force themselves on her. In 2005 2400 sexual assaults on women. In 2006 that number doubled. This could lead to PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).
This behavior is outrageous. Many women who were harassed or raped know that there is no recourse, that there is a brotherhood of men in the military. Sometimes the commander or higher ups threaten the women. Women do not get the help they need. There is no sensitivity training to women in the military. This one particular woman didn't go back and made the decision on her own; she said for medical reasons. She was discharged without pay (I guess no benefits either). Yes indeed a brotherhood of men exists in the military. Women please think twice about joining the military...let these guys battle it out on their own. They love war!
Frankly I think war is cearly andn only a man's arena. Let them fight it out! They started it!They love their guns, and unnecessary roughness. Many have no respect for women. Or they think if they are with a bunch of men anything goes. Like a pack of wolves? I don't think women should go into the military..let the men fight it out..they enjoy it! Wars a man's thing. They are the ones that start them..let them fight it out.
ABC news shows a 92 year old woman with a walker getting busted in the face three times by a bis ox three times bigger than she is. Are some men just animals? There was no need to even hit her...she could have just taken what he wanted. Some men are ass holes!
Then they show a cop behind a bar. Another big ox kicked and punched a small woman already down on the floor. Another animal! And this was on tape too!
God it's enough to make you ill. What makes some men so angry and hateful towards woman?
Then there the idiot man who robs cars that are unlocked when someone is pumping gas. Of course he picks on woman because they are dumb enough to leave their purse in an unlocked car.
There guy are not gentlemen by no means. They pick on the easiest targets. These men have no feelings for human life and many just plain hate women. So beware!
God, testosterone is evil stuff! Thank god I,m a woman...a lesbian at that. Gross! The men in my family were a bunch of assholes. Good riddance I say!
Could it happen?
CNN says Al Qaeda threatens to attack the 19 billion a day producing oil refineries in Saudi Arabia. If it happens oil could shoot to $150.00 per barrel rising the price of a gallon of gas to $7.00 in the United States and to $10.00 in Europe. The attack could wipe out 50% of the supply of oil around the world for this is the major producer of oil.
Could it happen? Anything is possible. Al Qaeda said the next hit will effect the life line of the world. See what happens when you put all your eggs in one basket? The auto makers should have a back up plan...electric cars. But old habits are are to break. Yes, a few Americans (Bush cronies) are addicted to oil. They are making for too much money and it's hard to give it up.
The Hydrogen Fuel Cell vehicles proposals by Bush and company was a joke. A distraction! A total side track so Bush and his oil cronies can keep on trading oil and making a killing (in more ways than one). Just like the electric car in 1902 and again in 1997 in California (because state legislation demanded it and got it; that is, until Gm got Bush on their side, then later the clean air commissioner of California traded sides and joined the Bush team...trader!). Yes, the electric car (EV1) was very cool and the people loved it. But from the get-go (hint number one) GM would only lease the car and not sell it to the customer. It was destined from the beginning not to last because big oil didn't want it too.
So, it's just too bad that young people in California are choking to death and all have asthma. It's just too bad people on both sides get killed because we have a war settled in Iraq (when our enemy isn't from Iraq) to protect the oil.
Remember Bush is good, very good, friends with the Saudi's. Al Qaeda are, break away from the clan, Saudi's. I believe one of the many brothers or relatives of the leaders, bin Laden.
So it will be interesting to see where all this goes. Do you think this administration will ever regret their greed and close mindedness. Do you think they will ever regret not planning for the future.
As a society we could be so much more advanced with techninology if the government would have worked together with industries (like they are doing) but for the good of the environment, community and future generations. We are behind. Have you seen some of the foreign cities like Dubai. Is Dubai the new headquarters for big corporations? I know Halliburton moved there and a company there. A Saudi company now guards our harbors and ports. Yes, we have exported our coast guard and protection of our harbours.
Is this on the beginning of the "selling out of America"? Whose president is he anyway? He doesn't act like our president! He ignored the drowning people in New Orleans after Katrina. The levees were ignored by the corp of engineers for years. There was no way that those levees could with stand a level five hurricane. The government just didn't want to spend the money. It's wasn't in the budget which was reserved probably for war (so big corporations could rip off the American tax payers by over charging for war supplies and materials. Of which Halliburton gets a big portion). Expect more extremely severe weather to come because of global warming and pollution.
I think those eight or so candidates that are concentrating on the 2008 election already should be back in their offices instead of campaigning and trying to figure out of way to boot Bush! Or are both sides of the isle in cahoots and all this we are seeing on the news is nothing more than theoretics. Remember the movie "Wage the Dog"?
I think Bush will have the world in total chaos by November 2008.
Dick Derkin and George Tenet both said the intelligents agency,back in 2002, did not support the reasons to go to world in Iraq. Tenet is attacking the white house with his new book which comes out very soon. George Tenet is being called to testify before the house of systems of investigations.
We need health care in this country badly. We need control set at lenders and charge cards institutions. But I know we'll never see it. We, the citizens of this country, will never see progress in these area... because the government works to give businesses and ocrporations and the Mexicans in this country are getting the benefits. They get free emergency care, they have the priviledge of acquring drivers license without social sercurity numbers.
Bush has also met with Prime Minister Martin of Canada and President Fox of Mexico about the trading of the New World order.
Our children need health care. Jobs are going away being shipped overseas where work is cheap. Vehicles are growing as well as houses and prices are headed out the ceiling. Most people's credit cards are maxed. People live from paycheck to paycheck and about one month of bills away from homelessness. Banks rip people off, financial lenders rip people off, auto dealers rip people off. Even D.O.C. eyeglasses tried to rip me off by slipping in extra warranty or services I did not want. After I told him repeated me.. he still ignored my demands. The guy was worse than a used car salesman. And the government is no better and the people are in denial. Rosie is correct in her thinking no matter how much people think she is wrong.
It's because Rosie is strong, intelligent, confident and out-spoken. She does her homework and is not afraid to speak out and expose obvious wrongs. Men and women are afraid of that. Oh anything out of the norm of the church or they're precious gender rolls just freaks these Christians out.
It's common sense. Read the papers. Watch CNN. Get on Netflix's and get some of these documentary DVD's. Do you homework! Then criticize someone ...who just happens to know what she is talking about but you can't stand it because she is right!
No one wants to face the music that this country is on the brink of economical disaster. China hold our 17 trillion or more war debt which is rapidly accumulating every minute. See www.rosie.com and watch the numbers roll. If China should default on our loan just what do you think will happen to this country and our economy. Last quarter was the first time in economical and financial Wall Street history that a foreign country made more on the companies in their stock market than we did. I think that proves that our economy, our country is being shipped down the river.
Halliburton is wasting money, tax payer's money, your money, over-charging supplies and equipment in Iraq. They and about 100,000 other companies are making money hand over fist while Bush gets this country deeper and deeper in debt.
Non of the candidates for 2008 will ever mention the lost of jobs, credit card debt, flattening housing market, lack of education, lack of social insurance.
Rosie makes good points. I hope she changes her mind. Most people are too narrow minded, in denial, too lazy, too busy working two or three jobs (hello, clue number 1!. Why do you have to work two jobs? Because your president is not doing his job). Working for minimum wage...Bush vetoed a rise in minimum wage because companies said it would put a burdon on them. Hey, when people do not have the money to eat out, buy your products, or your services...then what? People need money to live on now.
Do you know that as of 2005 any one working minimum wage can no longer afford an apartment. The rent prices have all risen way faster and higher wages.
People you must wake up before it's too late. Write your congressman.

Celebrating pro-aging.
CNN features a 95 year old college student who will graduate along with her grand-daughter. Last month I talked to a spy, very talkative, energized 82 year old woman who just crossed the finished line and completed a 5k competive run. She ran a 5K.
One day last week the local newspaper featured a 75 year old pilot who had to emergency land her plane in a field because the plane's fuel level was low.
I know a nun who is 76 years old and completes triathlons and wins medals. Well I guess she would she's probably the only one in her age group.
I celebrate these women and all the other inspirationals out there for me to aspire too. If only I knew who they were.
I attend an artist class and there are many older talented women in the class. I celebrate pro-aging.
Today 80 can be like 60. I'm nearing 60, so by the time I'm 80, 80 will be the new 60. I love it! I am very youthful now and think and feel 35 or 40. So, I am preparing my body and my mind for later years. Because I want to be one of those women out there running half marathons, 10k's or 5k's when I'm in my 80's.
Life is what we make it and with the help of new modern medical marvels we are a sure win. Who knows plastic surgery maybe quite affortable by the time I'm 80. I'm excited actually.
But, I do believe that exercise is key! Yes, exercise and diet will carry you through. Also, studies have found that eating like and about 80 percent filling your stomach is better for you than over eating. Also more fruits and vegetables are key.
Here's to pro-aging and all it's wonder, beauty and glory. I celebrate them.
