great Job!

I will say it, Great JOB

 

I am really not going to buy into the painful arguments that the people unhappy with Obama are touting, because, I remember what they taught me, to be patriotic, to put out my flag and never forget ! I am an American, and I have to be proud of my country.  Even if I don't like a war that has cost BILLIONS for the past * years * (but started back way back) that has bankrupt our small business' and our public schools, and our ability to be considered a free country.    I mean, I am really happy now we have put on trial a leader of a country that would kill his own people for not being true to his army and his personal beliefs, and use oil as a weapon, and  we freed the Iraqi  women, now they can vote, and wear jeans*, and live like the Awesome people they are!  

 They love us now..., we learned a whole new language from a president who made words up, and that's OK, and we can even just laugh at the press and laugh at the people and say-- with a Texas, drawl, Y'er Jist Gonna Have ta Trust me on this...So I learned to trust, because if I did not, my president passed a little --thing, its just this little itty bitty--thing, well its called and AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION,     called THE PATRIOT ACT, and well, it takes away my right to privacy, and it can put me in a Federal Prison for being very un-American-like --and  even if I wanted to try to protect myself , it would not matter, because my phones can be tapped, and even my mail can be read, I don't have the right to a fair and speedy trial either, and any person without a citizenship can and will be deported during any crime investigation( or interrogation ) -- we are guilty-- before we are innocent  ....Well, isn't that nice.

 

I listen to a whole lot more comedy now, because when  comedians can do the president better than he does, its time to get with the program.  When SNL can do political advertising for both sides and the woman who is portraying herself, doesn't even know she is condemning herself, and still blame the  media, well- the   -world is really watching...I was watching I was laughing, I was rewinding, I was posting I was thinking this is too good to be true! 

 

 Joe Rogan, is a comedian and he does some great stand up, he made some great comments on how dumb we are getting, and how we don't really even know how dumb we really are!  Well-  its an adult show, and I don't recommend it over Obamas Speech today, as far as --inspiring kids, but for inspiration for adults you can count on some belly laughs.  Why is everyone so wound up for hating Obama, I posted a "good job" on face-book today, and people I don't even know, thought it was a good time to post comments like-- " He just is such a phony- " Ironic that he talks about-- false identities"--Weird, because -- he never said that-- and I know -- I said I wanted him to compel kids off of myspace and facebook and computers, but he was perfect in his delivery of what was -- a great- speech to help kids know more about where his heart is, and what he wants for them to focus on, what is so wrong with that? 

 

Did one kid ask about Universal Medicine?  yes ``that little outspoken @#$%,  did  have a question pop out ,---from the mouth of a babes!  We wonder where they learn such behavior...I can hear my daughter, --"blaming the child and lie and shame, you know exactly who's to blame..the mother and the father.....ompa loompa"  I said take me down the rabbit hole!

 

 

I think that it would be great if we could have affordable health care, not just for babies without parents, or teens without parents, or the elderly or the disabled, but for anyone who wants to contribute part or some of their wages, just like we do for our jobs,  even for those who really don't have jobs, or money, they too can find care. PGE and E has affordable "care" opportunites, for everyone to pay a little at time.  

 

Shouldn't health care be as essential, as the rest of our minimal needs.  In Redding if you cant pay your city of redding bill, you are evicted from your own house, even if you own it!!  WOW-- what is the thinking there?  You cant afford  to poop, or shower,   so out on the street, to do it---on someone else's dime....In California its a law, you have to have car insurance, and you have to have insurance against someone whos not insured, but if they dont have it, --then how can  you get money-- PEOPLE we pay for those who arent insured already--why not make them at least pay a minimal -- my AAA wants me to pay-- for medical Insurance...through my car insurance for someone else if I hit them....WHAT THE HELL?  What about me?  Okay, I worked for years and they took money from my check and when I needed my insurance, UNITED HEALTH CARE, that gets money from the worlds largest compaines, who funds the uninsured, cancelled my insurance, they wanted to sue my employer...Insurance is a scam, I am paying to not get sick I am paying to not hit someone, I am paying to live in a house, and have the right to pay for my Mortgage, but if I need anything from them-- they dont care=-~

 

When will anyone regulate the money given to these insurance companies?  I bought into the world of work and pay and take care of me...No one in NY Corpprate Co. cares.....about the little guy-- down in California---It's time, to really see--People are worth it! And we can do it with style-- we could have nurses in Schools again, and they could help with kids, we should have dentists at school!  Teach kids how to brush  We could really rethink so many things, and would it really be so bad?  I remember my school nurse room, it was a haven for the bruised child, no matter what happened at school, I could always count on my nurse.  Adults, should think about that----

 

 Our cities and states, offer care for those in fires, for those who are criminals, for those who are working for the state or the city, those of us, that dont work for the government would also like to benefit from our taxes.  Now we know the government already knows our personal information, they have access to any information, and if you think that its new that the IRS knows your detailed and sorted life, wake up!  Don't pay taxes, and you will not be forgotten, you will have a brand new understanding of  Federal care.    We pay for plenty, with our jobs, with our taxes, with our lives, our children and our ancestors.  Our families are here because they fought hard to be here , we are proud to say that, but the truth is, not everyone can fight.  Not everyone should fight, and you know what-- maybe we should start fighting germs and leave other people alone, we might actually get somewhere.

 

If we say good job, it should not be for -- fighting, it might be best for us, to working towards a new way of thinking.

 

I want to remind everyone of the reality of the song that I heard in a dream, it was May 1 2001, and I remember the little boy with a huge gun, he stood over the body of an American Soldier  he had just shot down dead, and he looked up to me, while the dirty orange sand swirled in the dry wind all around us, he sang this song to me....

 

How can you just walk away, when you just shot and killed someone?

How can you look at me and say that isn't wrong?

 How can you just walk away, when you just shot and killed someone, ' How can you say your bringing the peace, when you have to have that gun,

How can you say your helping me, when you just shot and killed someone?

How can you lie to me and say that isn't wrong.

How can you just walk away when you just shot and killed someone....

 

 

cant we just stop and think, are we killing someone with behavior we think is peaceful and yet is not? , Walk together and sing, lets not shoot down our people, or their people, lets listen to the children, and sing their songs, of freedom...

 

Great Job Obama, take charge with words of inspiration, dont kill us with ego.

warped reality -skid free

Egad!!

Look at this photo of Chris' hand, it looks warped and strange , like an animated hand, and no one would believe that we did not photo shop this image. This tells a story, we see it one way, the camera sees it another, and reality may even tell a different story. But the warped images that come through also tell a story, the movement of this photo, the image that can't be understood, unless explained, and the unexplainable that remains as shown.





Do our eyes deceive us? Are we oblivious to a universe in front of our eyes, invisible to the naked human eye, but clearly there with the lens of a camera or another more sensitive lens the one we rarely rely on, our inner insight.

Do we look up in the sky, in the daytime and see stars, no because they are not visable -- that does not mean they are not there. When was the last time you saw your back, but you know its there. You cant see it, but can feel it-- you know its there. You see it in the reflection in your mirror, and you forget about looking at it. Its just not important. If you have back pain, you cant see it, but its there, and you know its there, and your back becomes very important, and we have technology, and all sorts of amazing machines to see inside our bodies now, but we cannot see pain.
Just like pain we cannot see, love, that feeling in our hearts, that we know is there but we cant see it. That has got to be intelligent design, wow. Think about it, if we knew every time someone hated or loved us, just by looking at them -- what a crazy world this would be! People would be fighting mad all the time, over how someone just looked at you! Wow, aren't you glad we cant see other peoples emotions, and thoughts. But that some how, replaces the reality that they do exist, and how can we deny that they have a place and space in our reality. Once I was so sure I saw someone move through time and space unlike anything on our plane of reality, and it was unmistakable-fear, not like falling, or making a mistake, but like biting your cheek when eating, like hitting your head on something that you did not see, like you have just been cut-but your not going to die. Your blood runs fast and hot, and your eyes widen, you search for the hand rails, and there are none. Your mind reaches for the exit door, and nothing is there , I was forced to watch and wait until the forces that be, were done with me, its not like a fantasy dream, its a moment when time actually stops.


I am aware of the fact that your view is different than my view, and if I just voice my opinion about the days events we might be agreeing to disagree, and walk away wishing we never brought up--the "daily topics". Let us not find the differences, let us remind ourselves that no matter what we do agree upon, we are still different people, you will go your way, I will go mine. It is up to us alone to be strong in our beliefs, and not untie our knots when it comes to our promises to ourselves and our true faith. What ever your concept of God may be, be at peace with God, aware only that it all will unfold and make sense someday, if not now. We are but minute infinitesimal specs in this universe, and yet as small as we are, we have our own brains, and we are meant to use them, and not forge ideas in stone to be buried and forgotten , and walked over like graves of our past.





Even Buried history teaches us many things, I have been saying to the worried-- over fretting, right republicans, " we still have Catholics.." and that should make you think, they can outlaw your faith, they can make you a religious---criminal, and even tear down your greatest paintings, and burn your buildings, kill your best people---( that's horrible!! ) and cover up your stories, and hide your books, but it wont change anything even in 500 years! We still have a great Jewish society ,and freedom of religion, no matter may come, it does not change the hearts of the faithful.


Why do we forget these proven images of strength? Do we retreat into fear and start the torch of hatred? Why warp reality, to allow the anger to take over, the moment the record skips we change it, so change it! If you want to change the world its easy-- just change your mind, change the record! Change your environment-- go for it! Mysteries of life-still exist to be discovered, don't so afraid to change, ***LIFE***its really going to change with or without us!






My life is full of unexplainable images, and no matter what I do to describe them, or write them, or illustrate them, nothing can change the facts, no explanations exist for me. Mystery is a wonderful feeling, it's almost like- the moment you realize your getting onto a roller coaster, and you know that it's fun, and fast, but you are never quite sure what is around that corner until you get there. The more we try to anticipate it, the more we ache inside, and it makes more sense to let the ride, fulfill our senses in the mysterious ways it does. It is different every time we experience it. Even if we know every curve, we can find a new corner of mystery to explore, and put up your hands, let life take you where it goes-- its okay-- you are in HIS hands. What is even more amazing is how we take gravity for grandid, but that is another day.

One story that fits here, is the one that is all about letting go of the illusion of control. Pennies from heaven was my last entry, and I promised to do a part 2. but I still can not bring myself to tell the whole story of my experience. Some things are just private and meant to be saved, for me, and I can re tell them better with similar examples. I guess that is why, we search for similar examples of our lives, pennies from heaven, and angels, and miracles, we want to believe that other people have seen this too. We really want to believe that it must be true. Carl Sagan, says in his Cosmos series, I really want to believe that there is a God, or that there are Aliens in space. He also says, he cant find any proof, and that he was searching for it, and hoping for it, and that space would be a great waste without it. Carl Sagan, manages to speak clearly about his faith to human species to remain curious, and open minded, or we would all suffer greatly from it. I love the way, he says, you are made of star stuff, and I have more in common with this tree, that any animal, he makes the universe make sense, he takes the mystery of the big picture, and describes it in such wonderful detail that we understand it. And we belong to it again, because we see our story in the similarities of nature and space. Even though we know the obvious differences, we believe this scientist, because we want to believe he is smarter than us. But for someone as decorated and celebrated as he was, he surely had a surpriseing personal life and set of personal beliefs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Sagan

"Sagan was a user of marijuana. Under the pseudonym "Mr. X", he contributed an essay about smoking cannabis to the 1971 book Marihuana Reconsidered[37][38] The essay explained that marijuana use had helped to inspire some of Sagan's works and enhance sensual and intellectual experiences. After Sagan's death, Grinspoon disclosed this to Sagan's biographer, Keay Davidson. The publishing of the biography, Carl Sagan: A Life, in 1999, brought media to this aspect of Sagan's life."


The bigger picture is never easy to see, its there all the time, but we seem to live in the images we create and we use tunnel vision to stay in our own little world. Like the mediocre political climate, that demands the ultimate sacrifice of faith, and limits our reach by cutting of the hand the gestures for holding.





My reasons for bringing up this warped reality is the current political climate, and the effects it is having on our city, our state and our frame of mind. I want to be clear and not grandstand at all, this is not my soapbox, or my advertisement, I simply want to try to explain the images I see. The same people that called us unpatriotic, and sold us a war on Iraq, are the same people that are now, slicing and dicing our country in so many pieces its like we are their sushi to be eaten alive. I understand now what they mean by, if no one does anything evil will prevail, you can tell evil by how hard it persists in making life difficult for others to be happy. In as much as I have said, we still have Catholics, we still have telescopes as well. Dont be blind, to what virtues hold onto reality, or dead to what joys remain in our faith.

pennies from heaven, Umbrellas up-side down

Pennies from Heaven... I hope I can start by saying that, be it known that this is a accumulation of information I have collected to inspire you this summer sunday. I wanted to research quickly the origins of the penny, using the Internet WIKIPEDIA'S definitions, and references, and finding info and GOOGLE. If you think I wrote all of this--today, I will be happy to put my words in red, so that you know what I claim to know. The phrases we love to say and use, but often forget that are relevant back for hundreds of years. Funny how I keep going back to the 15'th century these days, reformation, and the challenges for "change" in government and religion, not unlike what we are dealing with today; but it remains to be seen as we approach some of my own dates that mark my life. Yes, as I near the September days, I remember the 9th day, and when everyone celebrates the number I will not, but hide in myself, to decide will this be the year I tell my story? I think not yet, for I cannot even talk about it, and the what ifs consume me. But, then I meet those who have such doubt and such concern for peace in their lives, I want nothing more than to console them and make them whole. A story, a gift that is from inside, words free as sunshine and useful if needed for reasons unknown to the listener as of yet. Why should we want to convince anyone of anything, when experience is the only real teacher. If you want to know, just ask, and you will. People are like pennies, we have worked very very hard to create civilization, we think we can create value in a coin. But it is we ourselves that devalues it, by over spending- and one penny that used to represent a value of huge commodity, is not even worth 1/100 of a dollar and doesn't exist in foreign countries. When did we loose our spare change, when did we devalue it? You tell me-- this is part 2. Every-time you see a penny pick it up, all the day you'll have good luck. We used to believe that, now it is just superstition, and so goes the tradition of loving pennies. So goes the need to save them and look at the year they are made, and take a moment to think about how it got to where you found it, and how far it might have traveled to get there. Part :1 Research of the common phrases and origins, (and Brainstorming), waiting for you to comment-here is a few words to chew on, more come. Old English versions of the word penny are penig, pening, penning and pending; the word appears in German as pfennig and in Dutch as penning. These words are thought by some to have been derived from the Germanic word Pfand, meaning "pan" (refering to its shape), or the Dutch word pand and English word "pawn", words which mean "a pledge or token". An equivalent to the penny in ancient times was the Greek drachma. Later came the Roman denarius.[1] When Britain was under Roman rule, most of Britain used the coin-based monetary system that was used by the Roman Empire, but their system of coinage soon changed after the Romans left. As the invading Anglo-Saxons began to settle and establish their own kingdoms, some started to make gold coins based on the old Roman designs or designs copied from the coins used in the Frankish kingdoms. Their monetary system had several serious flaws: First, gold was so valuable, that even the smallest coins were very valuable, thus, these gold coins would only be used in large transactions. Further, gold was very rare, and this rarity prevented such coins from being common enough to use for even large transactions. Between the years 640 and 670 AD, there seems to have been a movement by the Anglo-Saxons to use less pure gold in coins. This made the coins appear paler, decreased their value, and may have increased the number that could be made, but it still didn't solve the problems of value and scarcity of coins made mostly of gold The United States one-cent coin is a unit of currency equaling one one-hundredth of a United States dollar. Its symbol is: ¢. Its obverse has featured the profile of President Abraham Lincoln since 1909, the centennial of his birth. From 1959 (the sesquicentennial of Lincoln's birth) to 2008, the reverse featured the Lincoln Memorial. 2009 will see several designs to honor Lincoln's 200th birthday, while the coin will be re-designed in 2010. The coin is 0.75 inches (19.05 mm) in diameter and 0.061 inches (1.55 mm) in thickness. The one-cent coin is often called a penny, but the U.S. Mint's official name for this coin is cent. 1793–1857 copper 1857–1864 88% copper, 12% nickel (also known as NS-12) 1864–1942 bronze (95% copper, 5% tin and zinc) 1943 zinc-coated steel (also known as steel penny) 1944–1946 brass (95% copper, 5% zinc) 1946–1962 bronze (95% copper, 5% tin and zinc) 1962–1982 brass (95% copper, 5% zinc) 1982– present 97.5% zinc core, 2.5% copper plating The isotope composition of early coins spanning the period of 1828 to 1843 cents reflects that of cooper from Cornwall ores from England while coins after 1850 that from the Keweenaw Peninsula, Michigan ores, a finding consistent with historical records.[1] In 1943, at the peak of World War II, cents of zinc-coated steel were made for a short time due to war demands for copper. A few copper cents from 1943 were produced from the 1942 planchets remaining in the bins. Similarly, some 1944 steel cents have been confirmed. From 1944 through 1946, salvaged ammunition shells made their way into the minting process, and it was not uncommon to see coins featuring streaks of brass or having a considerably darker finish than other issues. 1974 aluminum cent from the Smithsonian During the early 1970s, the price of copper rose to a point where the cent almost contained more than one cent's worth of copper. This led the Mint to test alternate metals, including aluminum and bronze-clad steel. Aluminum was chosen, and over 1.5 million of these cents were struck and ready for public release before ultimately being rejected. The proposed aluminum cents were rejected due to two factors. Vending machine owners complained the coins would cause mechanical problems. Pediatricians and pediatric radiologists pointed out the radiodensity of the metal inside the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts was close to that of soft tissue and therefore would be difficult to detect in a roentgenogram.[2] About a dozen aluminum cents are believed to still be in the hands of collectors, although they are now considered illegal, subject to seizure by the Secret Service.[citation needed] One aluminum cent was donated to the Smithsonian Institution. The cent's composition was changed in 1982 because the value of the copper in the coin started to rise above one cent.[3] Some 1982 cents use the 97.5% zinc composition, while others used the 95% copper composition. The price of copper later returned to profitable levels.[citation needed] Many people can hear the difference between the bronze and copper cents and the newer, zinc cents: simply flip the coin, giving it a good, solid strike. The predominantly copper pennies produce a ringing sound in the 12 kHz range. The zinc coins make a noise that is different.[4] In addition, a full 50-penny roll of pre-1982/3 pennies will weigh 5.4 oz. compared to a post 1982/83 roll which will weigh 4.4 oz. Mintage figures for the Lincoln cent can be found here. Facts from GOOGLED PHRASES: It's in this book that we find the earliest known citation of the line, "A penny for your thoughts." While it's unlikely that Heywood coined the phrase himself (excuse the pun), there's no documentation to tell us how much further back it might go. For all we know, it originated twenty thousand years ago with the caveman equivalent of "bright shiny rock for your thoughts." Even if we take the 1546 publication date of Heywood's tome as the date of origination, it's hard to answer your second question--inflation is based on the difference in cost for like services over time, and quite frankly, there aren't a lot of like services between now and 1546. It's easier to set a price based on the 1906 re-printing of Heywood's proverbs. A 1906 penny would be worth about 18 cents today. We can do better than that, though. In 1521, Heywood received a 10 mark annuity as the king's servant. There are 240 pennies to a mark, so that was a yearly salary of 2,400 pennies. According to Town And Country Resources in the San Francisco Bay Area, the average butler makes between $50,000 and $100,000. Let's assume that being a "king's servant" was the equivalent of being a top butler today (hey, it was the king, after all). That means equating 2400 pennies to $100,000, or approximately $42.67 per penny. Conversely, were one to take a penny and stick it in a bank in 1546 at a measly 2% interest, in 2001 your account would hold $81.86. At a more robust 5% interest? Over $43 million. So next time someone offers a penny for your thoughts, keep in mind that it ain't necessarily chump change. — John Corrado : : "BAD PENNY -- The phrase usually is heard in this country (U.S.) as 'A bad penny always turns up,' meaning that a no-good person can be counted upon to come back again and again. The expression was originally English and the unit of currency referred to was the shilling. Sir Walter Scott, in one of his early nineteenth-century novels, whereto: 'Bring back Darsie? Little doubt of that. The bad shilling is sure enough to come back again.'" From "Morris Dictionary of Word and Phrase Origins" by William and Mary Morris (HarperCollins, New York, 1977, 1988). : Here's a discussion of "bending" a penny, from www-cm.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk. The penny being discussed is one of Aethelred's silver ones: : No-one knows the exact value of an Anglo-Saxon penny, although an earlier tenth-century law code says that you could buy a good racehorse for 120 pennies, a cow for 20 pennies and a sheep for 5 pennies. A silver penny in AD 1000 might buy the same as about £10-£20 today. : The small gouges on the reverse of the coin are known as "peck" marks and were made with a knife to test the purity of the silver. The Anglo-Saxons would have had no need to do this, as the bust of Æthelred on the coin was a royal guarantee of its value: this coin could be exchanged for a penny worth of goods. The Vikings, however, only saw the coin for its silver content and *pecked* or *bent* it to find out how soft, and therefore how pure it was. : So a "bent penny" might be one with softer metal (lead?) within, coated with silver and not nearly as valuable as a pure silver one -- such a penny would make a raiding Viking *most* disgruntled. : On the other hand, bending pennies is often regarded as creating luck. Here's an account (from Sheffield, home of SHU, which hosts this site): On the night of 8th October 1960 the good people of Sheffield turned out in force in the pouring rain to say goodbye to the city's last trams (until supertram came along 30 years later!). On that night many thousands of them put old pennies on the line for the trams to run over and distort to make a unique momento of the occasion. This activity can be seen in many of the photographs taken on that famous night. : If the father bent a penny for his daughter's welfare when he prayed to Mary, perhaps what he did was bend one and then keep it or bury it somewhere -- a form of sacrifice, since the penny would then be useless to him as cash. I believe the 'sacrifice' interpretation is correct in this case. A tree outside one Irish cemetary is encrusted with coins - mostly pennies - that have been hammered to half their diameter into the bark and the protruding part then bent flat against the bark. A prayer is offered for the deceased, and the 'sacrificed' penny is proof of the sincerity of the prayer. The prayer would not be heard if the coin was a 'bad penny PENNY WISE AND POUND FOOLISH - "Overcareful about trivial things and undercareful about important ones. The literal image is of the person who fusses over small amounts of money to such an extent that he misses opportunities to save or make large amounts. But the figurative image goes way back; in 'The Historie of Foure-footed Beastes' (1607) Edward Topsell wrote: 'If by covetousnesse or negligence, one withdraw from them their ordinary foode, he shall be penny wise, and pound foolish.'" From "The Dictionary of Cliches" by James Rogers (Ballantine Books, New York, 1985). PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS - "What's on your mind? (Usually said to someone who is looking pensive.) The saying is from a time when the British penny was worth a significant sum. In 1522, Sir Thomas More wrote (in 'Four Last Things'): 'It often happeth, that the very face sheweth the mind walking a pilgrimage, in such wise that.other folk sodainly say to them a peny for your thought.'" From "The Dictionary of Cliches" by James Rogers (Ballantine Books, New York, 1985). From the OED: "e. pennies from heaven: money acquired without effort or risk; unexpected benefits, esp. financial ones. Also (in sing.): a windfall, a godsend (rare). [1st two citations:] [1928 A. BURSTEIN Ghetto Messenger 91 The gentleman, being cognizant of 'pennies falling from heaven' and other tricks.., appeared to take it seriously.] 1936 J. BURKE (title of song) Pennies from heaven." SS Contrary to the OED's grim view of pennies falling down from the sky, I found several places online which contribute this saying to a positive action done by caring angels. Some even take this expression literally and say that angels did pay them, and more than a visit (see a link below). Also, a poem citing the custom (an excerpt) by Charles Marshburn: "I found a penny today Just laying on the ground. But it's not just a penny, this little coin I've found. Found pennies come from heaven, that's what my Grandpa told me, He said angels toss them down Oh, how I love that story!" (http://www.poofcat.com/inspir36.html). We had a daughter "Miki" who passed at age 10 as the result of being hit by a car. Not too long after that we started finding pennies in most unusual places. One day I had moved all the furniture from the We had a daughter "Miki" who passed at age 10 as the result of being hit by a car. Not too long after that we started finding pennies in most unusual places. One day I had moved all the furniture from the dining area and scrubbed the floor thoroughly to wax it. When it dried and I went to apply the wax, right in the middle was a penny. On bathroom sinks that had been scrubbed, a penny would appear, even on a freshly made bed. I purchased a pink plastic heart bank and with a gold pen I marked it "Pennies From Heaven." It is getting almost full even though we recently moved, the pennies still appear! Just The 3rd of October my husband passed away due to injuries he sustained because two boys were drag racing, one lost control and hit him head on at approximately 100 mph. Maybe I will need to get another bank, and hopefully have to write on it in gold "Nickles from Heaven." Sharon French Got a penny story--please let me know!

To:Rick Perry and Staff:

     I received this as an email, and I wanted you to see it.  It is signed " The People of TEXAS".

I would like assistance in finding out if any of this is true, and who would be portraying your state in this way. It has become an a matter of my patriotic duty to find out why anyone would want to break up the USA for any reason.

 

    If this is true I would like you to come forward and say it is so, otherwise, this kind of public political threats should be squashed and put to rest. Everyone supports the commander in chief, and when and if we are in a need for national security, I would never want my children to think that your state would not answer the call of duty.   

 

Sincerely,

This is for those of you with ties to Texas!

              
In case things get a little tough during the next few months, Texans have a plan...
       
        
        Maybe you don't know it, but Texas is the only state with a legal right to secede from the Union . (Reference the Texas-American Annexation Treaty of 1848.)
       
        We Texans love y'all Americans, but we'll probably have to take action since Barack Obama won the election and is now the President of the U.S.A.   We'll miss y'all though.
              
       
           Here is what can happen:

       
        1. Barack Hussein Obama, after becoming the President of the United States , begins to try and create a socialist country, and then Texas   announces that it is going to secede from the Union .
       
       
        2.  George W. Bush becomes the President of the Republic of Texas . You might not think that he talks too pretty, but we haven't had another terrorist attack and the economy was fine until the effects of the Democrats lowering the qualifications for home loans came to roost.

So what does TEXAS have to do to survive as a Republic?


        1. NASA Space Control is located just south of Houston , Texas , so we will control
the space industry.
       

        2. We already refine over 85% of the gasoline in the United States.
       

        3. Defense Industry ~ we have over 65% of it.  The term "Don't mess with Texas ," will take on a whole new meaning.
       

        4. Oil - we can supply all the oil that the Republic of Texas will need for the next 300 years.  What will the other states do?  Gee, we don't know, but you can ask
Obama.
       

        5. Natural Gas - again, we have all we need and it's too bad about those Northern States.  John Kerry and Al Gore will just have to figure out a way to keep them
warm....
       

        6. Computer Industry - we lead the nation in producing computer chips and communications equipment - small companies like Texas Instruments, Dell Computer,
EDS, Raytheon, National Semiconductor, Motorola, Intel, AMD, Atmel, Applied
Materials, Ball Misconduct, Dallas Semiconductor, Nortel, Alcatel, etc.

        The list goes on.
             
        7. Medical Care - We have the research centers for cancer research, the best burn centers and the top trauma units in the world, as well  as other large health centers. The Houston Medical Center alone employees over 65,000 people.
       
        8. We have enough colleges to keep educating and making smarter citizens: University of Texas , Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Texas Christian, Rice, SMU, University of Dallas , University of Houston , Baylor, UNT ( University of North Texas ), Texas Women's University, etc. Ivy grows better in the South anyway.

        9. We have an intelligent and energetic work force and it isn't restricted by a bunch of unions.  Here in Texas , we are a  "Right to Work" State and, therefore,
it's every man and woman for themselves. We just go out and get the job done. And if we don't like the way one company operates, we get a job somewhere else.
       
        10.  We have essential control of the paper, plastics, and insurance industries, etc.
       
         11. In case of a foreign invasion, we have the Texas National Guard, the Texas Air National Guard, and several military bases.   We don't have an Army, but since
everybody down here has at least six rifles and a pile of ammo, we can raise an Army in 24  hours if we need one.

 
        If the situation really gets bad, we can always call the Department  of Public Safety and ask them to send over the Texas Rangers.
       

        12. We are totally self-sufficient in beef, poultry, hogs, and several types of grain, fruit, and vegetables; and let's not forget seafood from the Gulf.  Also, everybody
down here knows how to cook them so that they taste good. We don't need any food.
       

        13. Three of the ten largest cities in the United States and twenty-three of the 100 largest cities in the United States are located in Texas .  And Texas also has more land than California, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Maryland, Rhode Island, and Vermont combined.
       
        14. Trade: Three of the ten largest port s in the United States are located in Texas
       
        15. We also manufacture cars and trucks down here. 
       
        This just names a few of the items that will keep the Republic of Texas in good shape. There isn't a thing out there that we need and don't have.  Now to the rest of you folks in the United States under President Obama:
       
        1. Since you won't have the refineries to get gas for your cars, only President Obama will be able to drive around in his big 9 mpg SUV. The rest of the people  of the United States will have to walk or ride bikes.

          
        2. You won't have any TV as the Space Center in Houston will cut off satellite communications.
       
        3. You won't have any natural gas to heat your homes, but since Mr. Obama has predicted global warming, you will not need the gas as long as you survive the 2000 years it will take to get enough heat from Global Warming.    
       
        In other words, the rest of y'all in the USA are screwed!
              
Signed,
       
        The People of Texas
       
        P.S. This is not a threatening letter - just a note to give you something to think about!   Sleep well tonight 'cause "The Eyes of Texas are on YOU"!!

coffee coffee coffee the most perfect drug...

How many times have you done the same thing day after day after day, and just not wanted to get up and do it all again, but then you drank the magic potion, of coffee and decided that it was all worth it?  Can you hear my music, its either love potion number nine... or its Veronica by Elvis Costello, or its just the Coffee House channel on Serius Sat Radio...   I know some of you, don't drink coffee, and that is great, you can drink something else, tea, water those things are great too, and very similar to coffee, except, well for the color and the smell and the feeling of caffeine rushing through your veins and then to your brain giving you the feeling that you could probably bike the empire state building!  Now you know I have had my coffee today, because I can talk on any good day, but give me a cup of coffee and I am motivational speaker!  I am a Happy CAMPER, I am halarious-- and I can clean house all day, and write and work and do art, and sell you stuff-- oh how the day is good--, almost as good as carrot juice, but that is another story-- today I have to blog about my friend, and love-- COFFEE, that I dont even mind -- if other people love it, its the love we share.....     To be sure-- I am a coffee snob, I admit it, I don't just fiend for coffee and settle for instant Sanka with the freeze dried milk and sweeteners...not for me!  I don't even like--the majority of coffee houses, including the successful Starbucks.  I grew up in Berkeley, and we have PEETS coffee!  Peet taught the Starbucks guy, what coffee was, and how to do it! but he's strayed since.  When I moved from Berkeley to Marin, it was like coffee heaven, you might not think that three or four different types of coffee houses could exist ron the same street, but they do.  Loyal customers will continue to shop where they like the best its about--atmosphere and taste. I remember a great place in Mill Valley and in San Anselmo, called the Coffee Roaster's, it was a beautifully build store, with JUST COFFEE BEANS, no food what so ever! NONE!  They just sold every kind of bean imaginable--for prices that reflected the quality and the time it took to get it there. Carbon footprints were no object!  You just bought a cup of coffee or beans thats it, if you were hungry-- go somewhere else!  BUT, They had this quaint outside patio hidden just out back , with chairs and tables and it looked like a cobble stone road anywhere in paradise, and people sat silently and drank coffee and literally did not have any outside disruptions.  It was so relaxing, no loud music, no distracting displays, no gaudy wall murals depicting how great they were, just ivy and trees.  Nothing was more intriguing to me than this, how does this work, a quiet coffee house....   You cant find that coffee here in Redding, your lucky to have good coffee at all!  I search for it on days like today, because, well, I get so tired of the same old dishes, laundry and dirt, I cant do it one more day! without a little help from my friend-- coffee.   Thankfully, I am a Lutheran, and unabashed coffee lover and people lover too!  You might know that Lutheran World Relief, was the funding to create awareness of coffee growing and selling, and between--pubic awareness, and human rights advocates-- they-made it a crime to use children as young as six- as coffee pickers, or  "slave children" as farm workers.  Thank to this group of concerned people, awareness has almost stopped a world market, of exploiting children for pennies a day on big bucks coffee.  Out of this came, "FAIR TRADE COFFEE" and it means that, people will be paid a fair wage, work a fair amount of hours, and not one underage child will be used.  In many places such as Columbia, children are the only hope of drug addicted parents, and the beans are not just for-- coffee drinks, they are breakfast lunch and dinner.  Literally roasted on a BBQ daily, and then ground and eaten, from stolen the beans pocketed by the farm-workers on their shift.  They have no food, they eat coffee beans.  Not unlike the cocaine leaves they chew...AHEM, yea!  This is a real drug folks, and it begins to dawn on you when you don't have it.  Can you imagine if they outlawed it?  There would be no revolution, we'd all be home with a headache, and too dull to get up!  Entire companies would go out of business, and I am guessing the New York alone would have to make a world time change to get up after California....dont ask..   That's enough ruin any coffee buzz...which makes me worry?  Is coffee such a powerful drug that one day, science will outlaw it?  Its a commodity, traded on the open market, the biggest in the world, and its multi- million dollar pull makes it fodder for drug lords all over the place.  Will it eventually go onto the list of the bad drugs because of the people it supports?  Not likely as long as the good American business people keep their hands in every ones pockets,...basically, we help them make this product and we have some input in the way they grow the most popular beans,  Shade grown, means less water, organic means no pesticides, fair trade, these are terms you must agree too, or our little brown potion will be outlaw juice.   LOVE potion number 1 : COFFEE! KEEP IT LEGAL, stay informed,  SOON I am opening my own  coffee house, please come on in and enjoy!  Please search and find your favorite coffee and enjoy the day!   Yes I am going to open my own coffee house, with real good coffee!~  the PEETS way, and with a lot of perky extras!!   Donations excepted, stock on sale today-- send payment to: Pandawishes, c/o Liz  Masloff  2284 Saturn Skyway Redding CA 96002     LOVE YOU   LIZ         Thank You From Panda Publishing http://artislifeupgraded.blogspot.com/

Monday school starting blues

I really thought I was going to be tough today, I knew I could be just fine watching those kids run off to their futures,.. leaving me behind.    It was a day like so many others, get up early, make coffee toast and eggs, talk and make lunches, but today, we are ripe with anticipation for a new season of learning.  We are ready to burst with the thought of being back on the path of learning, and I was fine all along, not once did I worry, enough socks, enough folders, paper, pencils, not once did I nag, let me fix your hair,... not this time, no input is needed here.  I got out the camera, and I tried to save the moments, that I know are just speeding by, but I get hands, and hair and the blur of the fast moving teenager.    Yesterday, I was enjoying buying lunches for kids, and I said to a stranger who was near by, "Can I buy a lunch-able for a High School kid?"  He laughed and said, "You have High School kids, poor thing, I was just enjoying the fact I did not have to buy any school clothes! "  I never did find out his opinion of the Lunch-ables, but they give that - I love you but not enough to dote upon you with a home-made lunch , like I am such a busy mom, I just don't have time.. Lunch-ables aren't "hot-pockets" but they are probably a close cousin!  Best part about Lunch-ables, they come in that-- super strong sealed package, inside a cardboard--packing box, that even a teen-ager with a skateboard could not destroy!   ..I really do enjoy the lunch thing, its like a treasure hunt, you search for the perfect food to put into a back pack that may or may not ever make it to your child's mouth,.. and then if they do open it-, it could be as good as gold if you are starving or-- as dull as sand, if its  smashed into oblivion.  Grapes are still growing in abundance in our back yard, big sweet, Thompson seedless grapes, juicy and delightful for a hot day.  I picked about 100$ worth yesterday, was happy to have those for lunches today, if all else fails you know you can feel full with a few grapes.   But the packed lunch is like the care package for the homeless, it signifies the separation from the source.  And no matter how much we send them off with great thoughts, and great anticipation's, and affirmations, nothing prepares you for the faces of kids on the first day.  They have a universal look of fear, like what am I buying into?  Who ever said that mass learning was comfortable, and for the faces of the little kids, that I see outside my front door, its the usual face of ," Mom, I am not so sure, about this,...stay with me!"  Those little ones, that say stay with me, walk with me, hold my hand, and then they go to, don't kiss me, drop me off, and then finally its-- I love ya -- bye!  And you are sure, you are not any older, you can't be that much older, but they seem so much older now.    Looking at our little kids, we dressed them up, and we picked out back packs and we let them enjoy the fun, but as they get to teens, they do all the picking out and the fixing of the hair, and finally they come out of their rooms looking someone elses child!  You think =0 what is that, and how did you get your hair to do that?  I know I did not buy you that, and they say," Yea isn't this great my friend gave it to me"  or better yet, they take some piece of clothing from you -- and barely like it, and the next time you see it, its cut up into a totally different outfit, pinned and sewed and placed to have some meaning it never intended!  You never would thought of that... How do these teens get so creative with their clothes and hair, I did not think there was more ways to frustrate parents.   Ah, but the beauty of the day shines through too. And we can be proud to see our youth experiencing the timeless rights of passage like "Senior classes" and  incoming new Freshman. Without a doubt the American kids have the first day of school down to a religious experience full of of faith and hope, universally dressed  in Levi's Blue jeans, and t-shirts with cool logos, and the best pair of sneakers you can afford.  That one consistent thread is comforting, knowing we can always count on something to stay the same--brings us back to recognizing the pattern of circles of the seasons,  that consistent path we walk, the same paths we walked , our children walked and our grandchildren will walk.  They might have bright blue hair, and some other kind of unnatural diversion, but inside there are the same kids we were.  Happy to be on their way--   Good day all!   Godspeed!       Thank You From Panda Publishing http://artislifeupgraded.blogspot.com/

Letters

I have to pay the rent....   We have to pay the bills...   We have to pay attention..   We pay the piper...   Nothing in life is guarunteed but death and taxes...   Enjoy it now, Pay later...   Payments....   Payment plans....   paid off...   pay up, pay down, pay out, pay back, pay as you go, pay for..       Word History: Given the unpeaceful feelings one often has in paying bills or income taxes, it is difficult to believe that the word pay ultimately derives from the Latin word pāx, "peace." However, it is not the peace of the one who pays that is involved in this development of meaning. From pāx, meaning "peace" and also "a settlement of hostilities," was derived the word pācāre, "to impose a settlement on peoples or territories." In Late Latin pācāre was extended in sense to mean "to appease." The Old French word paiier that developed from Latin pācāre came to have the specific application "to pacify or satisfy a creditor," a sense that came into Middle English along with the word paien (first recorded around the beginning of the 13th century), the ancestor of our word pay.   One word so many meanings and forms, and idioms.  We ourselves find our own translation for our own use of words, each day I will see that change as our world changes.   I will use the words I have for better than a pacifier, I hope that we know, as Christ said--   God's Word sets us free; it does not bind us to traditions and meaningless rhetoric; it liberates us into joy and contentment; it brings out our best and gives us purpose and real, authentic meaning. The application of this is in how we control what we say and do, as we are called to do. Our words reflect what is in our heart as do our actions. Serving the needy is our character and maturity in action.   Vs. 26-27: These are the principle verses for us as sincere, authentic Christians who are responsible to do something with our Christian life. We are not called to just be pretty; rather, we are called to get dirty! This is implied in all that we do and believe (Prov. 19:17).   ·        Does not bridle his tongue. God calls us to control our words (Psalm 141:3; Prov. 10:19; 16:24; Matt. 5:9; 12:34; Eph. 4:29)! We are not to divorce our tongue from our mind and heart!               teach with your payment in the good words to others..                   Thank You From Panda Publishing http://artislifeupgraded.blogspot.com/

BATMAN wanted...

With all that this country is doing now, a BATMAN, would sure be welcome, until then, does "today's ROCK music" still have the voice of revolution and the power to create another "Woodstock", or is it just a way to to separate the generations. Now is the time, for an awakening, Music is the language we all understand.

Or is it? I know I am feeling old when, I start to hear a band my kids like, and I think, that's just not music. Or oh dear, what is this world coming too... I might as well get out my knitting!

I was in a club, looking for Ashley, and it really dawned on me, I am old to these people! And worse, I do not get this music. I was sitting there, and when I finally talked to a couple of the kids, I joked about telling them the last musicians, I had met. They did look at me like, okay lady...I dont even want to try to --be cool...

When I listen to the radio , I do get tired of some of the same old stuff, and I love to hear music that is in Movies, the soundtrack people are amazing! My mother knows all the good music, shes always telling me to listen to this artist, or that song, shes great! I love that, and I can always trust my Jazz, or my classical. But, why do we have to get old? Some people seem to never grow up, mature and get dull, ever notice they don't have any kids either...people say kids keep you young, I doubt that!

I love my family, and don't get me wrong, I would always want to be with them, but we all have a different choice for music, especially ASH and NOL, even though they humor me with some of the "older" songs they know I like. Music gets me through some tough times and I often need the uplift of a good acoustic melody-- for healing. Life as a musician must be difficult, so much to take in, I wonder of congress, or politicians think the same way.

Inside all of us, is our song, and we all need to dance to our own music, some of us dance slow and some of us dance-- in a square, and some of us boogie-- if we cant find ways to "get together and feel alright", there is surely a revolution on the horizon, and it wont be, the have and have nots, it will be the old ways against the young change--- I sure hear it every day in the people I meet-- and the elderly are the most outraged!

I just have one song, and I will put it on the link at the top==="alice's restaurant..." if your too young to know it, take a minute to listen, if your old enough to know it and have to say something unkind...its not too late to change your mind....

BATMAN: wanted to save the music, and the people.....

update

Ashley update:

   My Opinion:myspace does not know much about service or children's protection.

 

Its been 8 Days, Ashley has logged in everyday, and yet they have yet to do one thing to tell anyone where she is.  Today, when I asked them for the IP address they refused to give it to me and said the police had to give it to me, the supervisor, claimed the police could have asked for it at any time, and no supena was needed; who lying the police or myspace?

 

 

 

---

warning this is true and shocking

---

 

I have a story that I never wanted to share--but I know the police will really enjoy this:

 

In 1993 I worked at the Sonoma Mission Inn and Spa, a beautiful place nestled in the hills , between Kenwood and Sonoma, I loved it. I met and talked to and Harrison Ford on the very first day of work.  The second day, I did wine event for the Knights of the Vine the oldest and largest wine makers in the USA, and the third was the first of many Sonoma Wine Auctions, were I assisted in  sales of more than a million dollars  of goods-for children's charity.

 

A stellar job, with the rich and lovely.  In the background for this amazing place, to keep up with all the demands was more that 3 head chefs, just in this one Banquet Dept.But there are three restaurants all together, dozen of trained chefs, but one woman-- one woman head chef.   I wont use her name, because she would not want me to, I will call her Chef Jane, for this story. 

 

See Chef Jane lived just outside Kenwood, the property she owned was large and bordered on the towns of Petaluma and Kenwood.  It's a very wealthy community, and well known for its tourists and wine and schools and food, and soon it would be know for the missing child Polly Klaas. 

 

I would drive down the road past her property to go home each night, and pass the evening shadows, but one night i felt something aweful in my heart, as I do when I just know something is not right. I felt some dark shadow pass through me, call it intuition, but this was sadness... I went home and prayed, and in the morning it was on the news,  young girl missing from the window of her house....

 

What did anyone do?  What would you do?  Your child is missing...

 

People looked for many many days...but she did not show up..Chef Jane became more and more upset, she knew what she asked the Police to do , but no one listened to her.  After a month passed, Chef Jane-- said, now I have to go and look for myself... and it turned out as she worried it would, she was devasted--she had to testify, she had to find this herself?...That was when the truth came out.....

 

You see-

Chef Jane, called the police the night the missing girl was reported, and reported a unwanted car and a man on her prop.  You know what the police told her, basically that-- she was in an odd area and they weren't sure what police station should answer....She said there is a strange man and a girl on my land!! Please...then they said-- " YOU crazy woman, if you are so afraid take your GUN and look yourself...."

 

I believe her.

 

Polly Klaas died because no one would listen to Chef Jane and worse the information was so lost--that when the police came accross the car and the guy, they let him go!  Polly was just a few feet from the car and the police did not even know. 

 

THIS CHANGED EVERYTHING WHEN CHEF JANE SUED THE POLICE....AND PETALUMA was never the same.  Do people make mistakes, yes?  Do people have the right to expect the police to care? yes-- and could this have ended better--

 

definitely!

 

What did we learn? The events that happened changed the lives of every single person, that knew her, loved her, and even heard of her.  Chef Jane could not live in her house ever again, she was murdered that night too. 

 

From this debacle of Polly, her father fought hard to make LAWS on sharing information about missing teens, and it is to protect the child.  Police no longer hold onto missing teen reports in one city, they must share and they must tell all neighboring cities, and from that day forward, we realized, that people do break in houses, and take innocent girls right out of their beds.  It made us all, start thinking of crime in a whole new way.

 

Polly never did anything to deserve it, she was a perfect child, and more than beautiful and sweet she was young.  Her life is one that will never be forgotten, but as you might like to know, that MYSPACE knows nothing about it. They dont share information about missing children, they not only dont care to help the parents they enable any child to find other teens and runaway. My experience with my missing child, is that they make up stories, and even contradict what they say to the police.  They make a choice they can be heros, but they silenced me, but not talking to me.  I have effectively no parental control over my child on myspace as soon as I reported my child missing, even though they told me they would help me if I did.

 

I can report my credit card stolen and have the people who use it arrested, and put in jail, but I cant ask MYSPACE to help me find my missing child who uses myspace everyday...

 

Its a law that you cannot abuse or exploit children, but children can post naked photos of themselves, contact adults and sell their soul online--and MYSPACE doesnt stop this.

 

Frontline television is more effective in catching child molesters on myspace than the Police.

 

My next door neighbor turned out to be a molester-- and we live across the street from a elementary school.

 

What do we need to know before we stand up and pull the plug on the demise of the mind --any-ones mind, this web space is not free speech, this is not me trying to be right wing self-righteous, this is me-- one person-- just like Chef Jane, will you call me crazy and wait for death?  I sure hope not.

Everyday log in addcitions?~ ENOUGH ALL READY!

STOP THE LIES! Warning--- MYSPACE LIES! This is my belief, that there are things that we don't allow, and that line is crossed when the rights of adults are squashed.


Is this really happening in the USA, is there an open web site that is not responsible for anything it posts? Is it possible in this great country that children are allowed to lie about their ages, just to advertise the daily drama? Or make their life into daily drama? Can they really privately advertise the daily problems true or not, to anyone who they feel, and lock out the Adults in their life who take care of them?

YES it is true, and if your Teen is doing it, the truth is, there is not one individual that can protect you from your name being libeled printed and there is often no way to even know that it is being done!

I have recently learned that if your Teen is using, MYSPACE for sex, drugs, or runaway schemes you cannot be allowed to see the information that would lead you to the people involved. According to our RPD, not once has this city allowed anyone to revoke a password to be able to help find missing children, except for one TIME where the teen claimed to be KIDNAPPED. NOT FOR ANY OTHER REASON! IN ANY CASE!

But everyday, teens are logging in and they are sending messages and using this free site for "entertainment" while the law enforcement, runs in circles to (obviously ~ not effectively) find missing and exploited children. YOU might think they would want to find them, and you might think that there would be a good reason to do it, but according to our RPD, its never a real EMERGENCY>>>

WHEN IS A RUNAWAY NOT AN EMERGENCY?
Does death of a runaway qualify?
Because who's to blame when the teen dies?

Children can cause all sorts of pain to the parents by threats to run away. It is very common now for parents to say that, there is no way to discipline children, not without hearing that they children have been conditioned to think that their freedom is being impaired. What freedom do parents have if they have children? We gave up our freedom when we had the baby, and then the child learns to wield the weapon of the law at the parents, this really is the sign of the times.

The plague of unethical times has come to fruition, and you too are sucked into it, I too have a myspace, but I thought it made me -- more informed...it might as well have made me a parental psychopath, for caring enough to subject myself search for my child withing the pages of crude and lascivious things that kids easily say and do. There is a place where you can act like a slut, lie like the devil, claim to do your best to impede others future by buying into their Phony Persona, and feed your delusional teen, and the majority of kids--- think that's cool.

UNLESS SOMEONE LIKE YOU, CARES A WHOLE LOT, THINGS WONT CHANGE, THEY WILL NOT. Theodore Geisel ( Dr. Suess)

Here's to all the broken hearted parents who's kids found a way to live out in the big world; be brave and remember, its not what you say, its what you do. The dog barks, he cannot do much else, we do more than bark, we make the laws, and the laws are ours.

What person has not seen the great fable of Pinocchio? This amazing and beautiful movie created by the genius of Walt Disney, clearly shows an image of how we are taken off the path of our lives and easily drawn to do the crimes for others, due to our need for money and the lure of being accepted into the "ADULT WORLD". Over and over in the movie it becomes apparent that the world is full of phony people, and that lives are changed forever when they do not stay on the right road.

ONCE YOU GO DOWN THE PATH OF THE DARK SIDE, FOREVER DOES IT CHANGE YOUR DESTINY. Yoda, explaining Darth Vader to Luke , from "The Empires Strikes Back"

I was published in the Barnes and Noble Executive Training manual for writing what was an effective essay on the story of " Little Red Riding Hood", the ancient fable of how a girl in her prime is taken off her path by the wolves and eaten alive. This story has been done in every format, from movies to cartoon, to plays. The Wolf in darker times, came with a full MALE anatomy, and the girls red robe, represented her feminine cycle. Her ability to create life, and her mother and her grandmother being the circle of the right to life. Her responsibility to this. Thanks to an encounter, with a good BN customer that, told me about it, I was astounded at my new gift of knowledge. I was even more amazed that not 30 minutes later, that night I would be referring to the priceless information for another mother, who was concerned about her daughter's child. It was a revelation, and one that impressed the most well read scholars. I too knew it would forever remain with me; HERE I am , fighting like red riding hood, to kill the wolves, its going to take more than an AXE to get this company, for they have made there minions, and it wont be MYSPACE that will revolt, it will be the addicts. Once again I ask you, are children in charge? Can't we ever say no to them?

I don't believe that the rights of those who are working hard to take care ,protect and educate children should be able to be ruined by the hands of the predatory minds, created by and with the computer, feeding the dark imaginings of the teen mind. This is a recipe for more than anyone can control. This is where FACE BOOK is better, you can see the information, move forward, and people judge you and correct you and possibly hold you accountable. But if we allow MYSPACE to break the rules, many will follow.

MYSPACE should be reduced to WHAT IT DOES BEST, Music only, and PROFESSIONAL~ Entertainment,
;Rights are not just for children, we adults worked hard for centuries to make this world free -- but not to be tossed into the fire by children who cause undue stress on parents, who are trying to have some kind of wholesome discipline, or punish this dangerous~ ONLINE behavior.

This is my belief, that there are things that we don't allow, and that line is crossed when the rights of adults or squashed.

I say enough! NOT one more day, of this! FIGHT TO END~this war on children, give Adults the right to see and have complete access to anything their children do on MYSPACE or shut them down. HOLD MYSPACE accountable to the same crimes that would put a NEWSPAPER WRITER IN JAIL, OR A THREATENING PERSON IN PRISON. Free speech or slander, right to expose yourself and sell false images or just plain LIBEL? we know better and its time we said ENOUGH!!

Don't wait until you experience what we are-- write the congressman or woman and say-- ENOUGH OF MYSPACE LIES
