"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands
which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and
equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions
of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these
Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain
unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness--That to secure these Rights,
Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed,
that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive to these Ends, it is the Right of the People
to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such Principles and organizing
its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness" . . .

Brace for More Katrinas, Say Experts
For all its numbing ferocity, Hurricane Katrina will not be a unique event, say scientists, who say that global warming appears to be pumping up the power of big Atlantic storms. More and more scientists estimate that global warming, while not necessarily making hurricanes more frequent or likelier to make landfall, is making them more vicious...

Joke Break !
THIS IS A JOKE,  IT'S NOT A NEWS STORY !
Clocks
A man died and went to heaven. As he stood in front of St. Peter at the Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him. He asked, "What are all those clocks?"
St. Peter answered, "Those are Lie-Clocks. Everyone on Earth has a Lie-Clock.
Every time you lie the hands on your clock will move."

"Oh," said the man, "whose clock is that?" "That's Mother Teresa's.
The hands have never moved, indicating that she never told a lie."

"Incredible," said the man. "And whose clock is that one?" St. Peter responded, "That's Abraham Lincoln's clock. The hands have moved twice, telling us that Abe told only two lies in his entire life."

"Where's Bush's clock?" asked the man.
"Bush's clock is in Jesus' office. He's using it as a ceiling fan."

Morality Test
This test only has one question, but it's a very important one. By
giving an honest answer, you will discover where you stand morally.
No one else will know, so you won't be fooling anyone but yourself if you
give anything but a truthful answer.

The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation in which
you will have to make a decision. Remember, your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous. Please read slowly and thoughtfully, giving due consideration to each line.
Here's the situation:
You are in Florida; Miami to be specific. There is chaos all around you caused by a hurricane with severe flooding. This is a flood of Biblical proportions. You are a photojournalist working for a major newspaper,
and you're caught in the middle of this epic disaster.

The situation is nearly hopeless. You're trying to shoot career-making photos. There are houses and people swirling around you, some disappearing under the water. Nature is unleashing all of its destructive fury. Suddenly you see a man floundering in the water. he is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken down with the debris.

You move closer... somehow the man looks familiar. You suddenly realize who it is. It's George W. Bush, President of the United States!! At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take him under... forever. You have two options - you can save the life of G.W. Bush, or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of the world's most powerful men.

So here's the question, and please give an honest answer:
-
-
-
-

Would you select high-contrast color film,
or would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?

Editor's Note: In reference to the story below...  Is America The Land of The Free and the Home of The Brave ?  NO! Not with Un-Constitutional laws like the Patriot Act on the books it's not and never will be again.
 The ONLY way for America to become The Land of The Free and The Home of The Brave EVER again, would require forcing our Congressmen and Senators to get their heads out of their asses long enough to read our Constitution and realize, they NEVER HAD THE POWER TO PASS AND UPHOLD THESE
UN-CONSTITUTIONAL LAWS IN THE FIRST PLACE ! !

In fact... EVERY CONGRESSMEN AND SENATOR WHO VOTED FOR THE PATRIOT ACT, THEY ARE ALL GUILT OF TREASON BY U.S. LAW FOR VOTING AGAINST OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.
Sincerely, [Rev. Neil Colton]

FOCUS | In Silence a Challenge to Patriot Act
...Justice Department and FBI officials have repeatedly declined to identify how many times Patriot Act-related powers have been used to seek or obtain information from libraries, but they have strongly urged Congress not to limit their ability to do so.

The suit, originally filed under seal in Connecticut on Aug. 9, focuses on the FBI's use of a document called a "national security letter" (NSL), which allows investigators to demand records without the approval of a judge and to prohibit companies or institutions from disclosing the request. Restrictions on the FBI's use of NSLs were loosened under the Patriot Act.

The identity of the institution, the records being sought and numerous other details are edited out of the public version of the complaint released by the American Civil Liberties Union, which is a party to the lawsuit.

But the edited lawsuit reveals that the plaintiff is a member of the libraries association, that it provides "circulation and cataloging of library materials," and that it allows "library patrons . . . to search library collections and check the status of their accounts." The complaint also says the institution "provides Internet access for use by staff and patrons" and that the FBI was seeking "subscriber information, billing information and access logs" related to an unidentified target.

Justice Department spokesman Brian Roehrkasse declined to comment on the dispute because of the pending litigation.

ACLU lawyer Ann Beeson said the group is asking the court to lift a gag order that has been imposed in the case and said the dispute is directly relevant to the debate on Capitol Hill over the Patriot Act.

The House and Senate approved bills in July to renew or make permanent 16 provisions of the Patriot Act set to expire at the end of the year. Civil liberties groups are particularly opposed to the House version, which, among other things, would allow those who violate a gag order in connection with an NSL to be sentenced to as long as five years in prison...

Bush's Obscene Tirades Rattle White House Aides
DOUG THOMPSON - Aug 25, 2005
http://www.capitolhillblue.com/artman/publish/article_7267.shtml
While President George W. Bush travels around the country in a last-ditch effort to sell his Iraq war, White House aides scramble frantically behind the scenes to hide the dark mood of an increasingly angry leader who unleashes obscenity-filled outbursts at anyone who dares disagree with him.

"I'm not meeting again with that goddamned bitch," Bush screamed at aides who suggested he meet again with Cindy Sheehan, the war-protesting mother whose son died in Iraq.
 "She can go to hell as far as I'm concerned!"...

...Bush, administration aides confide, frequently explodes into tirades over those who protest the war, calling them "motherfucking traitors." He reportedly was so upset over Veterans of Foreign Wars members who wore "bullshit protectors" over their ears during his speech to their annual convention that he told aides to "tell those VFW assholes that I'll never speak to them again if they can't keep their members under control."...

..."Who gives a flying fuck what the polls say," he screamed at a recent strategy meeting. "I'm the President and I'll do whatever I goddamned please. They don't know shit."

Editor's Note:  Dear Mr. Bush,
How many 1,000's of strong prescription pills did you have to consume to convince yourself of that lie ?  Like most Military families and peace lovers alike who have heard and seen the truth, we are all  waiting for the day when your lies catch up to you and you get sent to jail for the rest of your life.  After all... The only reason America needs police, a strong military, the FBI and the CIA, is to protect the American people from evil blood thirsty tyrants like you and your closest friends !
[RNC]
P.S. All anyone has to do is to turn to "The New World Superpower" (A.K.A. the internet) to read 1,000's of news Blogs wrote by our fighting men and women in Iraq, and/or visit websites like http://www.veteransforpeace.org/ to see that you are dead wrong about how are military families feel about this war.

***** In Today's America There Is A More Powerful Act Than Voting Blue...
And That's Buying Blue ! *****
You may have voted blue, but every day you unknowingly help dump millions of dollars into the conservative war chest. By purchasing products and services from companies that donate heavily to conservatives, we have been compromising our own interests as liberals and progressives.

BuyBlue.org is a concerted effort to lift the veil of corporate patronage, so consumers can make informed buying decisions that coincide with their principles.

Currently, we are developing an extensive and interactive website where users will be able to monitor corporate activity in real time. We cannot do this alone; we need an army of Blue buyers to be the eyes and ears of this movement. All we have to do is put our money where our mouth is to make it profitable to be ethical.

Our collective buying power WILL make a difference, and we WILL be heard.

Some Thoughts
And the Nintendo generation is all part of their plan !
Welcome to modern day slavery... Where the draft is coming back, the new war machines run with controls much like Nintendo, Where it takes 2-3 incomes to keep an average house running...
What is modern day slavery you might ask ? It's when and where one income from one 40 hour work week will not cover your cost of living. Food, rent, medical, dental, the cloths you wear, insurance, a car, taxes, etc.. ALL OF IT. Where we buy cheap from companies that don't pay their help enough to get off of food stamps unless they have more than one income. Where both parents are working while the TV and video games do the babysitting and big brother is deciding what they should see or play. Where family closeness all but disappears because everyone in the family is too involved with self preservation to see the big picture. Followed by war, lots of wars, a thinning of the herd as some would say,
separating the rich from the poor, and eventually....
More on Modern Day Slavery coming soon... We're living it, so we might as well talk about it.
