Decisions and Choices in Life

Choices

When we are young, the choices seem to come easy, but that is because we sometimes do not have enough information to make an educated choice. As we get older, if we take time and do the research needed, we have no excuse because the education and information is easily available. Especially from the internet, which allows us to make choices and decisions with  a reasonable expectation of privacy for those tough personal choices and decisions in life.Decision Research

Life seems to get complicated as we get older. The only alternative to getting old is to die young, probably not a choice many of us would make.

The choices we make determines our destiny. Seems as we look back on life we find choices we  would have changed if we could have known the outcome.

I think that the reason we would change our choices in life is that we ourselves are always changing, growing and our priorities change as well. Think about it, even some of the foods we enjoy change for some reason during our journey through life. Nothing seems to stay the same. Many of us aren’t particularly fond of change, but it happens.

 

Sometimes we allow others to make or influence our choices or decisions because we don’t want the responsibilites. That’s right, so we can blame someone else when things go wrong. The old “Pass the Buck” theory.

You would think we as adults, we would not do this, as it imitates children that get into trouble saying “He Made Me Do it” or “He Told Me To Do It”.

Interestingly enough, many adults do not grow out of the blaming something or someone for their choices and decisions. You would think we had more Pride than that, as grown adults.

Sometimes we allow others to make our choices for us. (Example) Like when we allow our government to make decisions for us, because we don’t think we have time to think about the real problems we need to solve or we just want someone else to make the decisions so we can blame them for indecision or wrong choices.

When, “We the  People“, allow our government to make decisions, unchecked, then we seem to blame our government when things go wrong. Why would we allow the government to make our personal choices anyway? It allows the government to become our Masters instead of the Employees they should be for the people.

Could be that the adults “We the People“,  are just plain lazy and do not want to take responsibility.

In actuality, it is our responsibility to make sure our government doesn’t start making all our decisions and choices for us. This is why our Constitution was created, to Prevent Tyranny!

Now there is another famous problem with choices and decision making, that is procrastination. It seems the we all, including myself, are very capable at procrastinating. Some times this presents more problems or the problem that needs solving, compounds, because we didn’t make a quick decision to rectify or correct the situation.

Take the Risk

Life is like a road. There are long and short roads; smooth and rocky roads; crooked and straight paths. In our life, many roads will come our way as we journey through life. There are roads that lead to a life of single blessedness, marriage, and religious vocation. There are also roads that lead to fame and fortune on one hand, or isolation and poverty on the other. There are roads that lead to happiness, as there are roads leading to sadness. Roads leading towards victory, success, jubilation and roads leading to defeat and disappointment.

Just like any road, there are corners, detours, and crossroads in life.

Perhaps the most bewildered road that you will encounter, is a crossroad.

With four roads to choose from and with limited knowledge, which way should you go?

Which road will you take? Which Road is the Best Road for you?

What is the guarantee that we would choose the right one along the way?

Will you pick any road, or just stay where you are: in front of a crossroad?

You Must Make the Decision

You must make the decision, do not allow others to control your life.

You cannot find the confidence to decide if you know very little about the situation you are faced with.

Just like any person in leadership, head of household or individual… 
You should always ask the 5 W’s ; What, Who, When, Where, and Why.

The 5 W’s

What is the situation?

Who are the people involved?

When did this happen?

Where is this leading?

Why are you in this situation?

This is important information that could lead to a very wise decision or choice. The 5 W’s are just some of the possible questions to ask to learn more about your situation. Frequently and most often, the reason for indecision is the lack of information about a situation which sometimes leads to procrastination.

Keep in mind that, for every action taken, there is always a reaction, whether you see it or not.

There are no guarantees.

Since life offers no guarantees, you will never know that your decision would be wrong or right, until you have made it. So you may as well take the risk and make the decision. It is definitely better than procrastination.

Although it is true that one wrong turn could get you lost, it could also be that such a turn could be an opportunity for an adventure, and open more roads to success. It is all a matter of perspective. You have the choice between being a lost traveller or an accidental tourist of life.  Take caution that you do not make decisions by lack of order or planning.

You do not really know where a road will lead you until you take it. There are no guarantees. This is one of the most important things you need to realize about life and the choices you need to make. Nobody said that choosing to do the right thing all the time would always lead you to happiness.

Loving someone with all your heart does not guarantee that it will be returned. Gaining fame and fortune does not guarantee happiness. Accepting a good word from an influential superior to cut your trip short up the career ladder is not always bad, especially if you are highly qualified and competent. 

There are too many possible outcomes, which you really cannot control. The only thing you have power over is the decisions that you will make, and how you will act and react to different situations.

To minimize your failure in decision making, always educate yourself with all the options and information you can gather. Still, this does not prevent all failure or other undesired outcomes in decision making. Sometimes experience and the “School of Hard Knocks” is our best teacher. Remember, get as much information as you can about your situation.

Identify and create options.

What options do the situation give you?

Sometimes the options are few, but sometimes they are numerous.

What do you do when you think that the situation offers no options? This is the time that you create your own.

Make your creative mind work.

From the most simplistic to the most complicated, entertain all ideas.

Do not shoot anything down when an idea comes to mind.

Sometimes the most outrageous idea could prove to be the right one in the end.

You can ask a friend to help you identify options and even make more options if you encounter some difficulty.

Make sure that you make the decision depending on yourself in the end.

Weigh the Pros and Cons of Every Option.

Assess each option by looking at the advantages and disadvantages it offers you. In this way, you get more insights about the consequences of such an option.

Trust yourself to make that decision then, make the decision.

Now that you have assessed all your options, it is now time to trust yourself. Remember that there are no guarantees and wrong decisions are always at hindsight.  So choose, decide, and believe that you are choosing the best option at this point in time with the information you have compiled.

Now that you have made a decision, be ready to face its consequence: good and bad.

It may take you to success or present more problems. But the important thing is that you have chosen to live your life instead of remaining a bystander or a passive audience to your own life. Whether it is the right decision or not, only time can tell.

Do not regret making a choice or decision, whatever the outcome. Learn from it! 

Get up! Brush off the dirt and dust and go again. Keep in mind that you always have the chance to make better decisions in the future.

Again, it seems our Best Teachers are Experience and the “School of Hard Knocks“.

Vote ObamaCare - You're Outta There!

We the People

 by Ray Stevens

 

We hope you enjoy the video and the Lyrics provided. May God Richly Bless you and yours.

Growing up, Ray Stevens was one of my all-time favorite singers/comedians. His songs, Like Ahab the Arab,  Gitarzan and Everything is Beautiful are all memorable classics.What a comical genius. Let him know how much you enjoy this video and support our dear friend, Ray Stevens.

We the People by Ray Stevens

It’s gonna be a big heart breaker,
Grandma needs a new pace maker,
And the doctor says, “I realize she’s ill,
But there’s talk of legislation, on all our medication,
and maybe all we can do is put her on a pain pill.”

Whoa, me! Hey, Congress!

You vote Obamacare,
We’ll Vote You Outta There
!

We the People!  Have awakened to your tricks.
You vote to let this pass,
You’ll be out on your ____!
‘Cause we the people have awakened…

And to put it in words you might understand, if you had the common sense that God gave a billy goat, you’d no doubt noticed that your constituents, the electorate – that’s us, voters – are onto your
pork-barrel-
special-interest-
tax-and-spend-
scam.

Or, to put it more succinctly, “Heh, heh, heh, Thwwwwwwwwp!”

We’ve heard from Hannity, Beck, and Limbaugh,
What you’ve got in mind for Grandma,
And we found this O’Reilly fella on Fox.
We’re kinda like Joe the Plumber,
And when WE crunch the numbers,
It all adds up to votin’ you out at the ballot box!

He he he he he he…

You vote Obamacare,
We’re gonna vote you outta there!
We the People!  Have awakened to your tricks.
You vote to let this pass,
You’ll be out on your ____!

‘Cause we the people have awakened…

And to put it mildly, we’re harboring feelings of extreme alienation, due to copious amounts of horse manure, that have been shoveled out of the White House AND the Capitol Building, and we sense that we are being royally defecated upon. (Ha ha!) Yeah, we’re gettin’ the impression that you think we are not relevant to these proceedings, and dismissing our input into the situation.

Please tell Nancy Pelosi,
We’re gonna do the Hokey Pokey,
Put the “right” ones in,
Pull the “left” ones out.

You vote Obamacare,
We’re gonna vote you outta there
!

We the People!  Have awakened to your tricks.
You vote to let this pass,
You’ll be out on your ____!

Yeah, we the people have awakened…

And you might want to start looking for another line of work. How ’bout the medical profession? Ha ha. Yeah, they’re gonna need every one that can put up with the red tape and the pay cut. Hey, why don’t you
kill every last job,
tax every last penny, and
infringe on every last God-given right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?!
*
‘Cause let me tell you, ain’t NOBODY happy with you!

We the People! have awakened…

And it occurs to me that you might really like it down in Venezuela!

Hey Folk’s, I have to concur with Jim on this as I have felt this has all been planned for quite some time. What I mean when I say for quite some time, at least from WW2, possibly back prior to Lincoln. We need to stop and look at Who and or What will prosper from any and all actions taken and implemented by our Government.

Say NO! to Microchipping of Humans

The Ultimate “Sheeple Control” Chip

Could this be the reason our government wants control of our Healthcare System? This could be serious trouble for the United States! I know that you are very intelligent. You make the decision with the information I have provided for you.

Oh my, how our government has changed the “Secret Control” of the populous. Seems that the “Sheeple” have allowed our government to control even more than they realize. Many people have already been convinced to allow this chip and many more people will probably comply when the government convinces them that this is the right thing to do under false pretenses. 

Being as small as a grain of rice, it is easily implanted into our body with notice. The power for this chip is derived from our body heat to prevent having to replace them periodically. Where is the two warmest parts of our body you ask? This is easily proven by asking your family doctor. It is the  back of your hand and your forehead. Ring a bell? Where have we heard this described?

Could this be the reason our government wants control of our Healthcare System? Could our government be planning on implanting this device in us when we visit our doctor or the hospital? Maybe even implant it without our knowledge? Or could it be they will say, this is the Best way for you to receive proper treatment no matter where you may go and convince the populous to do it for their “Own Safety and Well Being”? Maybe the government has plans that forces us to allow the chip to be implanted.

 The Mark of the Beast will be  forced on everyone if they are to travel, purchase anything, or survive in society.

 Seems to me the Kings James version of the “Bible” warns us of this control. The following is in the book of Revelations – “He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead.” Revelation 13:16

You may be old or young, male or female. You may be very religious or you may not even believe in God. Nothing about you will matter. If you are alive you will be under great pressure to receive the mark of the beast.

If you choose to receive the mark of the beast it will be placed on your forehead or on your right hand.

Who will get the mark of the beast?

Almost everyone in the world will get the mark of the beast. There are many reasons why people will choose to get the mark:

  1. It will be required for everyone
  2. There will be severe penalties for refusing the mark of the beast
  3. There will be great rewards for getting the mark of the beast
  4. People will believe they are honoring God by receiving the mark of the beast
  5. People will be afraid of not getting the mark of the beast
  6. Peer pressure – most other people are getting the mark of the beast
  7. Financial pressure – can’t buy or sell without the mark of the beast

The video below will give you the Truth about the VeriChip and it’s Documented Uses.

Listen closely, as the video tells where our government plans to implant the VeriChip.

 

People will want to get the mark of the beast because then they will be allowed to buy food, water, medicine and clothes. They will be able to work and get paid. Humanly speaking, getting the mark of the beast will be the logical, sane, safe, smart thing to do. But spiritually speaking, it is not wise to get the mark of the beast.

Please understand that God will not allow anyone to receive the mark of the beast unless they choose to get it. People will not be physically forced against their will. But most people will choose to worship the beast and to receive his mark.

They have found many uses for this chip. The video above talks of many uses for the chip, I wonder if the total comes to 666 uses?

There are 666 versions of the mark of the beast

There will be 666 different options or versions of the mark. The beast will have 666 slightly different names that all claim to be God. One of these names will seem appropriate and attractive to each person on earth. For example, Christians believe that Jesus Christ will come again, the Jews believe that the Messiah is coming. So when the beast arrives on earth he will claim to be Jesus Christ to the Christians and he will offer them a version of his mark that is Christian. He will claim to be Messiah to the Jews and he will offer them a mark that is Jewish.

Most people will be deceived into believing that they should get the mark of the beast. They will line up to get it. They will feel honored to get it.

But please note that this awesome being is not God. You should not worship him. He is the beast. He is Satan. You should avoid his mark at all costs. You will not receive peace, prosperity or eternal life. All 666 versions of the mark of the beast are false and dangerous.

I, for one, will not allow this chip to be implanted in my body. I suggest you do not accept this chip either.

Is our governments plans for the microchip the “Mark of the Beast“?

Maybe I’m Wrong…. but what if I’m Right?

Watch the video below to know more about the “Mark of the Beast”.

Remember! Do Not Get The Mark of the Beast!

WOW! 

The Cucumber Turns Out To Be A Little Gem! 

I will always look at cucumbers differently now.

You will be surprised and amazed at how many different uses I have found for cucumbers. Plus, find out how nutritious the vitamin filled vegetable is for you. I bet this will make you think about cucumbers differently like I do now. It may even get you to plant a few cucumbers this spring.

1. Cucumbers contain most of the vitamins you need every day, just one cucumber contains Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Folic Acid, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium and Zinc.

2. Feeling tired in the afternoon, put down the soda with caffeine and pick up a cucumber. Cucumbers are a good source of B Vitamins and Carbohydrates that can provide that quick pick-me-up that can last for hours.

3. Tired of your bathroom mirror fogging up after a shower? Try rubbing a cucumber slice along the mirror, it will eliminate the fog and provide a soothing, spa-like fragrance.

4. Are grubs and slugs ruining your planting beds? Place a few slices in a small pie tin and your garden will be free of pests all season long. The chemicals in the cucumber react with the aluminum to give off a scent undetectable to humans but drive garden pests crazy and make them flee the area.

5. Looking for a fast and easy way to remove cellulite before going out or to the pool? Try rubbing a slice or two of cucumbers along your problem area for a few minutes, the phytochemicals in the cucumber cause the collagen in your skin to tighten, firming up the outer layer and reducing the visibility of cellulite. Works great on wrinkles too!!!

6. Want to avoid a hangover or terrible headache? Eat a few cucumber slices before going to bed and wake up refreshed and headache free. Cucumbers contain enough sugar, B vitamins and electrolytes to replenish essential nutrients the body lost, keeping everything in equilibrium, avoiding both a hangover and headache!!

7. Looking to fight off that afternoon or evening snacking binge? Cucumbers have been used for centuries and often used by European trappers, traders and explores for quick meals to thwart off starvation.

8. Have an important meeting or job interview and you realize that you don’t have enough time to polish your shoes? Rub a freshly cut cucumber over the shoe, its chemicals will provide a quick and durable shine that not only looks great but also repels water.

9. Out of WD 40 and need to fix a squeaky hinge? Take a cucumber slice and rub it along the problematic hinge, and voila, the squeak is gone!

10. Stressed out and don’t have time for massage, facial or visit to the spa? Cut up an entire cucumber and place it in a boiling pot of water, the chemicals and nutrients from the cucumber with react with the boiling water and be released in the steam, creating a soothing, relaxing aroma that has been shown the reduce stress in new mothers and college students during final exams.

11. Just finish a business lunch and realize you don’t have gum or mints? Take a slice of cucumber and press it to the roof of your mouth with your tongue for 30 seconds to eliminate bad breath, the phytochemcials will kill the bacteria in your mouth responsible for causing bad breath.

12. Looking for a ‘green’ way to clean your faucets, sinks or stainless steel? Take a slice of cucumber and rub it on the surface you want to clean, not only will it remove years of tarnish and bring back the shine, but is won’t leave streaks and won’t harm you fingers or fingernails while you clean.

13. Using a pen and made a mistake? Take the outside of the cucumber and slowly use it to erase the pen writing, also works great on crayons and markers that the kids have used to decorate the walls!!

Pass this along to everybody you know who is looking for better and safer ways to solve life’s everyday problems.

Government Control

What They Don’t Want You To Know About

Money, Gold, Silver, Healthcare and Food Supply

What you are about to read and learn about, our government and most politicians do not want you to know. Read and view the videos and decide for yourself what their agenda is for the United States of America. You probably will not like some of the things that are documented here, but you need to know this information.

I really have a Hard Time with people wanting our government to solve all our troubles. Every time our government gets involved in something, they completely mess things up beyond repair. When are people going to realize that government control is NOT the answer to all of our problems?

I’m going to start with the current issue of Universal Healthcare or so called “ObamaCare” that the United States Government is trying to force on “We the People”.

Government controlled Healthcare does not work without losing all of your freedoms. Check with real people in Canada and the UK where they have government controlled HealthCare, they will tell you it does not work and it did not solve their problems.

See the video below for the Real Truth of Canadian Healthcare System.

 
*

Now do you think that the United Kingdom NHS System is any better? 

See the video below for the Real Truth of UK NHS (National Healthcare System).

*

Healthcare Cost To You

You decide if you want this type of Healthcare (ObamaCare) in America. Surely you are not the Sheeple that our government thinks you are and depends on you to be, or are you?

Now, with Healthcare out of the way… let’s get down to what is going on in our country financially. Let’s see what is happening with the Gold and Silver all across the world including China.

Not only that… let’s see what is happening to our food supply costs and why the prices of food is skyrocketing all across the United States of America. While our government is keeping us occupied with the everyday stress of living or should I say, the survival of our failing economy they say is improving.

If we continue on our current path, the patient (The Dollar) will die and it’s value will be $0.00. This video should prepare Americans for “Hyperinflation” which is just around the corner unless we Stop the Madness. The video will prove to you that “Hyperinflation” is taking place even as you read this information.

Watch the documentary video below to get the real picture of what is being done to America without your knowledge. This documental video is well worth watching and explains exactly what is going on to destroy America and the life that we should be enjoying like our parents and grandparents did.

The Dollar Bubble

If the United States were a Publicly Traded Company…

It would be Bankrupt and it’s stock price would be $0.00!

In my opinion, America has lost it’s value and Prestige all across the world. Very few things are made with Pride in America like they use to be.

I can remember when I worked for a textile manufacture in my younger years that had a Logo “Made in America with Pride“.

What ever happened to the good Old America we all use to take Pride in, as Americans?

I can remember when other countries talked about and always wanted something made in the United States. They would do most anything to get our products to their country.

Now… America is a joke to them. Isn’t it interesting how time has changed things in America?

I have done your research for you, whether you take this information and use it, is up to you.

I am Hopeful that you will take this information that I have provided and use it for the Good of America and your family.

Cigarette -Tobacco Taxes in South Carolina

Cigarettes-Tobacco Taxes in South Carolina

How long will it take for the “Smokers of South Carolina” to say enough? When are the Smokers of SC going to stand up to the “Bleeding Heart Whiners”? I call for a complete “Boycott” on Cigarettes and Tobacco Products! Let them get their Tax Dollars from elsewhere!  

Federal Taxes and South Carolina Taxes on cigarettes have caused a $9.99 carton of generic cigarettes to go to a ridiculous price of $24.50 per carton in the last year or so.

Some economists worry that tobacco taxes unfairly target the poor.  In my opinion, I think they are correct in their worries!

What does our government and the “Bleeding Heart Whiners” against Tobacco, think they are going to do by raising taxes on Tobacco?

They raise taxes on tobacco that they think causes Healthcare expenses to rise and possibly don’t use themselves. Of course they have plenty of “Hot Air” without smoking.  

For those concerned about Healthcare Rates rising, let me explain that “Smokers” pay a higher premium than you do for Healthcare anyway. The “Smokers” legally pay their way.

Furthermore, I don’t think we have seen innocent people lamed up or die because of cigarettes like you have by Alcohol and it’s Abusers. Oh! Wait!… that hit a political nerve didn’t it? How many public servants have we heard about getting DUI’s? But, that’s right… they get off with a slap on the hand and “Don’t Do That Again.” Seems that our government is always passing laws for the rest of us, that they are exempt from themselves.  (Stay tuned to my Blog for more on Alcohol, Government Exemptions from Laws Passed, and much more. Coming Soon!).

Our Government and the “Bleeding Heart Whiners” imposing  Cigarette Taxes is nothing more than a “Witch Hunt”!  But, directed toward a “Sin”  (smokers) in their eyes.

Sin taxes like this, are always like a two-edged sword:

• If our government wants to maximize revenue, it can’t impose a tax so high that it will discourage too many sinners.

• On the other hand, if the goal is to discourage the sin (smokers), the state would want to maximize the tax rate or flat ban the activity (smoking) like they have in many restaurants and public places.

• Trouble is, if everyone quit smoking, revenues will eventually dry up.

• What will you go after then? I know! You’ll go after another one of the peoples habits that doesn’t cramp your style or that you don’t use.

The government and “Bleeding Heart Whiners” have succeeded in destroying jobs in SC and many other places/states by your unfair taxes on cigarettes.

I hope that soon, the guilty ones that came up with these unfair taxes, will experience these same type of unfair taxes on Elite Parties, Restaurants and Alcohol that hit home for them.

Tobacco Industry Jobs

It is interesting that the “Bleeding Heart Whiners” have not thought this through completely. You are destroying jobs like in the picture above, which in turn destroys a tax base on which this country has relied on for many, many years.

There are two other problems worth thinking about: Some states that have securitized their tobacco settlement money may receive less income from these deals if their cigarette sales fall. So, while their tax revenues may rise, lower demand may temper their overall revenue benefits.

With our economy in the serious condition as it is, it’s not like we have tons of jobs available for the people you have or will put out of work.

Below you will find more farmers harvesting in the tobacco fields. I don’t see them putting any chemicals in the tobacco as they harvest it.

I think the Cancer causing Chemicals are what you are after, which are placed in the tobacco during processing by some tobacco product companies after they receive the tobacco from the farmers.

Just recently, Tobacco Companies were forced by our government laws to add the New FSC (Fire Safety Chemical) to the paper that is used in cigarettes. Has our government lost its mind, adding more chemicals to an already hazardous tobacco product? They probably don’t know the long term effects of that chemical called FSC. Just like many drugs that FDA allows on the Consumer Shelves for the general public without being thoroughly tested.

God only knows the health risks in the FSC chemical. So you “Bleeding Heart Whiners” may have cut off your Nose to Spite your face on this law you allowed your legislators pass.

Hard Working Tobacco Farmers

Not to mention what the government and the “Bleeding Heart Whiners”  have done with the subsidies that pay farmers NOT to plant crops. This was implemented to control prices of our food supply from having too much on the market that would have driven prices down. Sounds like Greed and Corporate America controlling things to me. Of course you know that this put many farmers out of business but, that is another subject for another Blog I will soon write.

Smoking is a Personal choice, if I choose to “Smoke”, that is my life, as long as I respect others around me. As far as I know, we still live in America, a Free Country, and so far we are still allowed to make our own choices. Our Freedom will Stop, if we continue to allow the government and the “Bleeding Heart Whiners” to take our Freedoms away.  Your ban on Smoking and High Taxes on tobacco has infringed on my rights as an American Citizen, and I resent that!

Respect you say? Now if you come to my home, or to my farm, I do not smoke around you, even if on the outside if I know you do not smoke. If I choose to eat out, I will go to a restaurant that allows smoking and I sit in the “Designated Smoking Area” the restaurant has provided or I will not smoke until I leave that restaurant. That’s respect!

But yet many, including the “Bleeding Heart Whiners”, drive around in their gas belching, puffing and smoking automobiles and do not give me the same respect. Not to mention some of the perfume and cologne worn by many in restaurants and public places that I am allergic to.

In my opinion, respect is a two way street. So what are you going to do about your infringements on my rights to breathe allergy free air in restaurants and public places?

Now… ”Government Control” and “Bleeding Heart Whiners”;

• What are you going to do when you completely destroy our tax base?

• How will you get the money to support your Extravagant Lifestyle?

• What will you do then?  I know… you will try to enslave us in your FEMA Concentration Camps and work us like your ancestors did the slaves many years ago.

One thing you haven’t realized, “We the People” are tired of your infringement on our Rights, taking our freedoms away and taxing us to death.

If I recall history correctly, the United States was founded to get away from Unfair Taxation and Tyranny.

• What ever made you think that the people of the United States would not eventually see through your “Evil Plan“.

• You are trying to do the same to us, as they did to Columbus and his generation?

How long will it take for the “Smokers of South Carolina” to say enough? I call for a complete “Boycott” on Cigarettes and Tobacco Products!

Let’s show them that the tax dollars they are depending on from our cigarettes, will not line their Greedy Pockets to splurge on Trips to see their Mistresses or to Host their Elite Parties .

By the way, “We were Born to Die”! Not one of us will get out of this life alive!

Host your Web site with PowWeb!

 

Hello, I am Jim Bonham also known as “Farmer Jim” from the “Lighthouse Food Farm” a NonProfit Organization.

I wanted to introduce you to a Web Hosting solution I have used for over 10 years. I used it in my online business, auction, classifieds and with our nonprofit organization.

I have continued to try different Web Hosting Services as I have built Web sites for others. They always come back to PowWeb that I suggested in the first place when starting their Web site, after they experience some of the other hosting solutions available on the Web. So this fact tells me that not only do I prefer PowWeb, but others do as well.

Texting and Driving

This Could Be The Next 4 Minutes of Your Life.

Texting behind the wheel qualifies as irresponsible and completely stupid.

Be forewarned: The four-minute PSA is extremely graphic, showing not only the realistic bloody injuries of three pretty teenage girls, but also an unresponsive infant in a car seat and a preschooler asking her unconscious and bleeding parents to wake up.

Watch video above. Please! Don’t let this happen to your teenagers or family.

There’s even a word for it: intexicated.

This is a gory British Public Service Announcement going to reach kids who believe they are immortal?

Will Bloody Texting Public Service Announcement Get The Message To Teens?

******************************************************

Farmer Jim, Edited & Approved This Message.

I hope it will prevent a needless death by making people aware of how dangerous it is to text and drive. Texting while driving is Very Dangerous!

In my opinion, if you can’t do something safely while riding a bike, then it shouldn’t be done while driving.

Thank you Patricia for Proving this much needed message.

Constitution Day Picture

Take America Back from the Traitors

Implement a “We the People” Stimulus Package

Watch the Video above after you have Read info below:

What would have happened in 1789 or 1942 or 911, if a Top Government Official stepped in front of the people and Publically Proclaimed that America was a Nation of Cowards. He would have been run out of the country on a rail. Packaged and tarred and feathered at least. But that’s what happened in 2009, and you did nothing.

Have you became a Nation of Cowards America?

In the Greatest show of arrogance and distain any Congress ever showed any citizenry. Your disfunctionally elite Self Interested non-representing representatives passed the largest spending bill  in history, without reading it and you did nothing. 

 You want them to obey your Constitutional Mandate and secure your borders, and they ignore you.

You ask them to enforce your immigration laws, and they ignore you.

You say “Stop the Madness” of handing 300 Billion Dollars of a Bankrupted Treasury to Illegal Alien Welfare, rewarding them for making a mockery of your laws, and they ignore you.

And now, in open defiance of the overwhelming “Will of the People“, are preparing more Amnesty Programs.

You say “Stop Exploiting my nations Vital Industries to Foreign Shores“, and they ignore you.

You say “NO” to using your money to Bail-Out Failed, Corrupt and Greedy Businesses, and they ignore you.

You say “Implement the E-Verify Systems” so American Jobs, go to American Workers, and they ignore you.

If your Self Serving Congress were a business, they’d all be in Jail now! The biggest “Traitors” among you, hold “Elective Office

ONLY when they feel the almighty wrath of “We the People“, marching in the streets, from California to New York, shouting “We’re Mad as Hell and We Want Our Country Back”, will they the message “They Work For You” !

Wake Up America, while you were playing with the toys of your consumer wealth, you lost much more than your bloated economy of “Living Beyond Your Means”. You lost your “Representitive Democracy”. Your servants have become your Masters. Taxation without representation is “Tyranny“, but still you look to government to solve problems, they created in the first place. You’re sucking at the “Hind Tit of a Dead Cow”!

Why isn’t there a 3 million “We the People” march on Washington, A nationwide “TaxPayers” revolt, Thousands of cars and trucks surrounding your nations capital? Bringing your Failed Government to a “Stand Still”.

Democracy doesn’t repress power, it unleases it to “We the People“! Take it Now!

They dictated an “Economic Salvation Plan” to you. Now, it’s time to “Stick it To Them” with a “We the PeopleStimulus Package.

Require all laws that apply to the rest of the country to Equally Apply to Congress.

 • Start by first removing the “Elite Priviledges” that place your Non-Representing Representatives above you, not with you.

• Require all laws that apply to the rest of the country to Equally Apply to Congress.

• Repeal Congress’ Right to vote for their own raises.

• Balance the Federal Budget. Force your legislators to do what you now have to do, “Live within Your Means“. If you don’t, you are commiting National Suicide.

• Make Congress pay into the Social Security System. They make laws for it, now they might be interested in thinking twice, before they allow 20 million Illegal Aliens to reap the benefits of a Retirement Program the Legal Citizens paid into all their lives.

Long Term Power Corrupts! Limit congress from serving more than two terms, that’s all you give your president.

• Let them search for their own 401K Plan, instead of the gross unfairness of awarding them their Full Salary for the rest of their lives, after Only Serving One Term.

Stop Paying for lawmakers Insurance Premiums, after all, they are Only Part-Time Employees. They might pass some laws on insurance companies if they had to find one themselves.

• Throw Out of Office, every congressman and woman, who didn’t bother to read the biggest Spending Bill in History before Voting for it!

• With the money you save from all the above: Put it into increased Salary and Benefits for the men and women of the Armed Forces. They Never Fail You!

Start No War unless you intend to Win it!

Make English the Official Language of America. You talk of United We Stand, but do nothing to make it happen!

• Give every Legal Immigrant a chance to succeed.

Not one cent of Tax Payer money for Illegal Aliens. We are a Nation of Laws and Do Not Reward Law Breakers.

Abolish the Electorial College and put the Election of the President back into the hands of “We the People“!

• Bring back Universal Service, two years in the Military or two years in Community Involvement insure your future. Rekindle the “Spirit of America“, Service, Honor and Duty to country. Give your young people a chance to understand that they’re entitled to nothing they don’t earn.

Wake up America, you’ve allowed yourselves to become little more than Cowering Spectators. Watching the Nation your grand parents built, the Richest, most powerful, most Self Sufficient Republic in history, with the Highest Standard of Living any nation ever achieved. Now in the middle of the greatest unprecedented decline in modern history.

The world’s only Super Power can’t defend it’s borders, balance it’s budget, win it’s wars, manufacture it’s own products or protect it’s own currency.

Your Total Government Debt Obligation in the next several years, is approaching the Gross Domestic Product of the entire world.

You’ve diminished the future of your children, grandchildren and ten more generations of Americans.

On September 11th, 2001, 300 million Americans put aside what divided them and rallied around what united them.

You proudly flew your flags, wore T-Shirts that said “These Colors Don’t Run“. Then your leadership told you to do nothing, let your Professional Army do the fighting. Perhaps you learned to do nothing to well.

Two hundred and thirty three years ago the Silent Majority in Boston, got feed up Taxation without Representation and held a little “Tea Party” to prove the anger of  ”We the People” is on the march.

It started the First American Revolution, now it’s time to start the Second American Revolution.

Take an envelope, put a Tea Bag inside, simple, seal it and Send it to your NonRepresenting Representatives in Congress.

They’ll get the ideal! We’re Mad as Hell and We Want Our Country Back!

Look in your mirror, there’s your leader. Phone your talk radio host, call for a Tax Protest, set your Internet Communities on Fire with the ideal.

But if you decide to do nothing again, then Buy A Gun, You’ll Need It!

My name is Thomas Payne.

Don’t Give Up Hope America! Your country needs a New Greatest Generation.

Answer the call, get into the fight. It’s a Good Time to be a Patriot!

The Second American Revolution has just begun!
