I HEREWITH FIRMLY STATE THAT I WILL NOT VOTE FOR ANY POLITICIAN, REGARDLESS OF THE OTHER ISSUES, IF HE DOES NOT SPONSOR AND SUPPORT THE FOLLOWING LEGISLATION. THAT INCLUDES EVERYONE STANDING FOR ELECTION IN 2008. LET US SHOW OUR LEADERS IN WASHINGTON "PEOPLE POWER" AND THE POWER OF THE INTERNET. LET ME KNOW IF YOU ARE WITH ME ON THIS BY FORWARDING TO EVERYONE IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK.
IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU ARE REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT!
KEEP IT GOING!!!! 2008 Election Issue!!
GET A BILL STARTED TO PLACE ALL POLITICIANS ON SOC. SEC.
SOCIAL SECURITY:
(This is worth reading. It is short and to the point.)
Perhaps we are asking the wrong questions during election years.
Our Senators and Congresswomen do not pay into Social Security and, of course, they do not collect from it.
You see, Social Security benefits were not suitable for persons of their rare elevation in society . They felt they should have a special plan for themselves. So, many years ago they voted in their own benefit plan.
In more recent years, no congressperson has felt the need to change it. After all, it is a great plan
For all practical purposes their plan works like this:
When they retire, they continue to draw the same pay until they die.
Except it may increase from time to time for cost of living adjustments..
For example, Senator Byrd and Congressman White and their wives may expect to draw $7,800, 000.00 (that's Seven Million, Eight-Hundred Thousand Dollars), with their wives drawing $275, 000.00 during the last years of their lives.
This is calculated on an average life span for each of those two Dignitaries.
Younger Dignitaries who retire at an early age, will receive much more during the rest of their lives.
Their cost for this excellent plan is $0.00. NADA..! ZILCH...
This little perk they voted for themselves is free to them. You and I pick up the tab for this plan . The funds for this fine retirement plan come directly from the General Funds;
" OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK "!
>>From our own Social Security Plan, which you and I pay (or have paid) into, every payday until we retire (which amount is matched by our employer). We can expect to get an average of $1,000 per month after retirement.
Or, in other words, we would have to collect our average of $1,000 monthly benefits for 68 years and one (1) month to equal Senator! Bill Bradley's benefits!
Social Security could be very good if only one small change were made.
That change would be to:
Jerk the Golden Fleece Retirement Plan from under the Senators and Congressmen. Put them into the Social Security plan with the rest of us
Then sit back.....
And see how fast they would fix it.
If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe good changes will evolve.
Tonight is the full moon and a lunar eclipse that will not happen again till 2010.
Here is some Astrology News from Planet Alchemy. Use it for whatever it's worth to you but I felt compelled to post it here;
FULL MOON / LUNAR ECLIPSE IN VIRGO wed feb 20th, 2008 | 9.30 pm cst Sun / Moon opposition [Pisces, Virgo at 01 deg 53']
This FULL MOON is in the sign of Virgo, opposite the Sun in Pisces. This polarity is symbolic of practical reality vs. vision ; fact vs. fantasy; detail vs. the whole.
The challenge is to allow them to work together harmoniously; this can be tough, since emotional energy is usually quite heated around the Full Moon period, and many may be touchy and over-sensitive. Give everyone the benefit of the doubt, and use the intensity of this lunation to focus on productive matters pertaining to your sign.
Since this lunation is also a LUNAR ECLIPSE, matters ruled by the house it transits are more emotionally significant now. All eclipses signify transformation - since this one is lunar, one is more likely to focus on emotional needs and whether they are being met. A good time for meditating on the themes of that house - ask yourself if you are being true to yourself now regarding matters ruled by that house. Remember, the theme is one of emotional growth and transformation, so be honest with yourself.
The Full Moon period signifies the peak of the waxing Moon energy... a great time to focus on spiritual, magical energies in order to direct them through meditation or personal ritual. Many also focus once again on the goals that were set at the previous New Moon, and utilize the intensity of the Full Moon to release their intentions to the Universe with gratitude and respect.
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us
Age is only a number its the actions that make the age not the number
Shooting stars are a way for the loved ones that have passed to show us that they still love us and are always around. All we need to do is take a minute and look up at night sky to see that we are never alone.
Its not how hard you get hit. it's how hard you can be hit and still move forward
If you dont stand for something, you will fall for anything
Love is giving someone the power to destroy but trusting them not to.
Not every day is a sunny day, some days your the pigeon, some days your the statue
Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be watited for; it is a thing to be achieved.
Stop sabotaging your own happiness, the only things that keep happening to you are the things you keep allowing to.
Dream as if you will live forever... Live as if you will die today
Love everyone, Trust few.... And paddle your own canoe
Don't cry because it's over... Smile because it happeded
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass... It's about learning how to dance in the rain
Cheating is like m**turbation, In the end... You're only f*cking yourself
When you get to the end of your rope... Tie a knot and hang on
If it took common sense to breath... Half the people on this planet would drop dead
I shall pass thru this life but once, therefore if there is any kindness I can show or any good I can do, let me do it now, let me not defer it nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.

I started out to really meet someone, and I suppose it could still happen, not getting my hopes up though. Now I mostly hang out here 'cause I've met some really terrific people I now consider my friends.
Larry gets home late one night and his wife, Linda, says, "Where in the hell have you been?"
Larry replies, "I was out getting a tattoo."
"A tattoo?" she frowned "What kind of tattoo did you get?" "I got a hundred dollar bill on my privates," he said proudly.
"What the hell were you thinking?" she said, shaking her head in disdain. "Why on earth would an accountant get a hundred dollar bill tattooed on his privates?"
"Well, one, I like to watch my money grow. Two, once in a while I like to play with my money. Three, I like how money feels in my hand. And, lastly, instead of you going out shopping, you can stay right here at home and blow a hundred bucks anytime you want."
Larry is recovering in room 232 at Johns Hopkins Hospital
Let me pose a question - - - - husband has great job, got promotion, but also gets transferred to different location, wife also has great job, gets promotion and gets transferred to different location on oppsite side of country where husband was relocated. what then??
Expressions of love may include the love for a "soul" or mind, the love of laws and organizations, love for a body, love for nature, love of food, love of money, love for learning, love of power, love of fame, love for the respect of others, etcetera. Different people place varying degrees of importance on the kinds of love they receive. According to many philosophers, the only goal of life is to be happy. And there is only one happiness in life: to love and be loved. Love is essentially an abstract concept, much easier to experience than to explain.
ALL matters?? let me pose a question - - - - husband has great job, got promotion, but also gets transferred to different location, wife also has great job, gets promotion and gets transferred to different location on oppsite side of country where husband was relocated. what then??
