when they woke hell hath no mercy

Haiti

Almost three weeks ago a terrible earthquake dismantled a Caribbean city in Haiti, Port au Prince, causing immense damage and dscomfort to their country, death to thousands and tens of thousands injured with many more unaccounted for-the city is in ruins. The poverty leve is extremely poor with no resources to account for food or water. Fear and turmoil attacked those surviving the catastrophe that appeared grim from every angle. However, countries came together sharing in hopes of recovery to those in need that survived.

In the shadows of one of the Caribbean?s worst disasters ever a man stood up creating blame that our government was not helping his family, his daughter trapped in the wake of aftermath, the collapse of her hotel and never found. He chose the media as a tool screaming and crying as others who also lost family watched and listened to her fathers plea of mercy as she laid helplessly under rubble as thousands did like her. He screamed pleading with the President, as a respectable father would to understand his urgency.

I do not know of the bond between father and daughter, however I have heard, my condolences dear sir, a tragedy no doubt. Furthermore I have not the slightest of idea how it is to lose a child, my blessings. I pray your family and relatives find peace as do those in Haiti.

In the darkness of the days that preceded, with hope other nations brought to the helpless nation with generous donations here and there I was proud of our country. The U.S. sent food, water, battleships, war torn soldiers, relief from fire departments, doctors, nurses and other services including money. However I was ashamed of the selfishness and sorrow as one man lost himself on television as other children wondered the rubble without brothers, sisters mothers and fathers and countless related to him or her. This is not America; it is the media. I am grateful that the people of Haiti were not watching your display of anger and remorse. However, the television networks are International and troubled by your loss.

As I watched the television feeling remorse I listened to the people of Haiti embrace one another in song. I heard of a child that had his foot removed it was so badly mangled it was impossible to save and the remarkable part was he had no anesthesia to block the atrocity of anguish; this is pain. I say to myself that this was only one man?s selfishness. To the people of Haiti we are a divided nation but only by space; we too have all suffered immensely and drown with you in sorrow. We from the other continents have the luck of resources and have been able to return to our lives but never forget those we have lost behind however, share your grief. I can only say be strong, move on to a better place and be blessed that you are here to remember those lost that have no future and we will keep you in our prayers.

what if?

I just heard it on a news channel referring to Government verses helping ?the millions of people.? Is this an issue?

Do you believe in conspiracy theories?

The talk of change of political power or the mention of New World Order and television depicting the reign of Free Masons and their hidden agenda, which causes speculation, as well Nostradamus?s 2012 predictions of the end of time; yes. Informatively do you remember the movie Outbreak? On the other hand, how about the epic movie from 1973, Soylent Green, which is still the topic of conversation almost thirty years later, it will make one stop and reconsider the thought and ponder with emphasis.

Population control has always been at the forefront of political power though is denied by all principals.

The Chinese do not hide their thoughts as inhumane as it is controlling the population by childbirth. Imagine in this country if it was suggested when and how many children we could have? Respectfully our stress levels here would be astronomical. So how do you think other countries handle this agenda besides he U.S.? Hush is the word!

Not long ago I read an article on the internet about a young man that came to the U.S. from Peru with Tuberculosis, the strain was deadly, it took nineteen months to cure the dreadful disease and it was hushed by the Center for Disease Control, the cost $500,000.00 in drugs and quarantine costs, food, etc., however, why the secret? Well the CDC did explain it was cost effective in the sense that if that strain let lose many more would die so we need to stop it a the door, our borders. Why do I agree with healthcare reform? In addition, one million people a year die from septicemia; the blood becomes poison in your body. Sometimes there are no antibiotics other times the antibiotics do not work. Thousands more die from Pneumonia and Influenza each year, and thousands more from Cancers of all types? How does the United States control their population? Where did H1N1 come from, (an influenza that has the makeup part bird-part pig spores), subsequently Anthrax comes to mind?

Recently I had an infection that was curable orally through an aggressive antibiotic like Levaquin or Cipro. Curiously, there was a shortage nationwide of the antibiot cipro-raising question why? Giving it some thought, mysteriously I answered my own question, sort of, why are we stock piling the antibiotic Cipro again, Anthrax comes to mind? Could the U.S, do this to us testing military strains of the toxic substance? Informatively cipro cures the hideous disease. In fact, yes, historically speaking, during the early stages of the atonic bomb era the U.S. Government used our people for testing purposes however let t be known there was not knowledge of the side effects of nuclear fallout; or was there?

Strangely, in makes me wonder what if, could the United States free diseases for population control? Because if a country like China does not hide their aggressions and political hypothesis of population control then what are they doing we do not know.
However none of it makes sense to me, that there is a country openly controlling their population?

Let us not forget the efforts of Doctor Jack Kevorkian whom was on the forefront of medical technology, lost his right to practice medicine and imprisoned for what he believed in and others and now some states are following suit to Dr. Kevorkian?s intent to lease those wishing to die inhibited by their ailments.

As controversial as this is there are only a few states that agree to an assisted suicide law or death with dignity as in Oregon?s state legislation of the law, others are states have come board since 1996, Washington, Maine California, Hawaii.

We have used the metaphor for many years, we are better to our pets than our people. Should we have a choice in this matter?

Let?s have the people decide!

The Change

Well Congradulations Republicans of Massachusetts on the election of Independent Scot Brown however beware! Hi first quote was thanking his mentor Johnn McCain and we know McCains olitical views. The important note to remember is Scot Brown is a slider, floater-swings from party to party; I have my concerns watch carefully. Our late President Reagan quoted, 'trust but verify.' When I pick a mentor he is everything I want to be less his mistakes. McCain has made a few mistakes, you must listen carefully to his whisper.

Massachusetts let it be known, we are tired of the mistrials, the wishy washy joggling of ideas, and taxes and blaming it on someone else. Come up with a plan and take responsibility, fire and hire. I was told once it doesn't take a good man to be a leader, but a good leader to pick the men. If these Governors and Presidents do not pick a strong backbone of people that can do the job without question then the leaders will need to fill in the blank and take the criticism. I think newly elected senator Scot Brown has the resumeand intelligence to be a team player however I do not know what he has don as a state senator?

Massachusetts won this round changing the course of politics for this state, first time since 1972. Personally I think Massachusetts should always be a Repulican state with the manufacturing we have and corporate business but that is just my opinion.

wheres the change

Have you surveyed the political arena recently? Its dumbfounding to me how Actors. celebrities of all sorts, wrestlers from the World Wrestling Federation-man and woman including sports figures are running to the polls, Vote for me!

Are we that stupid, we must be because its working. Where is our intelligence, well he/she was or is a good actor; so they deserve the position as a politician?

Hold on, haven?t we learned our lesson yet.
Before I go so far let me say that California seems to have some governing skills, maybe through artificial insemination; thank you Madame. Thanksgiving must be a seminar weekend around the casagrande residence backed by power speakers as the family gathers.

I have issues with the whole political experience no doubt however, watching the television around an election year makes me crazy!

Even so, I find state politics are the epitome of our judicial system. Lawyers are poker-faced liars, and they must be, learning how to lie in law school as they come out in dwarves straight faced swearing their best promising the world. Then once elected they raise taxes over the roof.

Have you noticed that hip replacements are the thing now, Massachusetts is breaking the ground.
Become a politician and get a face lift, new hip no problem; get it done before healthcare reform?

I?m not a smoker however, Tobacco was once a large commodity in this country, not anymore hush us the word. Why can?t we disagree but keep the business, things like this irritate me.

I am all about change. I respect the elders in the House of Representatives and the Senate too however, if they want to take away the drivers license of people over seventy-five, what is that saying? Exactly, why are they governing our laws? Don?t misunderstand me I do not think right-out-of-high-school is our answer either. However we
need people, respectable, average, intelligent, hard working with common sense people. We need to look more closely at these people regarding their ethics at home and work. They need political experience and not only those from the Bar Association either.

Much has happened in the last one hundred years, I am concerned about our great nation. We need to run this country like a business, from an accounting perspective; we need salesman and women, businessman and women. We need a good big business model to mirror however, that might be a problem right now but that is just my opinion.

MMA

What ever happened to the sport of Boxing? I remember as a kid it was marked as a gentleman sport, God forbid the playground never seemed so?
Is the sport of boxing fading or is it a cyclical enmity in the world of sports as we wait for the new messiah of boxing?

I remember when names like Joe Louis and Rocky Marciano were spoken on a daily event by all ages. Kids in playgrounds simulated them when playing, Teachers would yell at us for role playing at recess.

Then Muhammad Ali and Sonny Liston. and George Forman were fights that have never been forgotten; what happened? However, the constant comebacks from George Forman over the years were good as much as bad for the sport.

Over the years the Olympics had spawned new up and coming boxers, Sugar Ray Robinson comes to mind as one of those greats. However the sport seems to be fading rapidly since the Eighties when we had Marvelous Marvin Hagler, Mike Tyson, Michael Spinks, Evander Holyfield and Larry Holmes dominating as explosive fighters. That was the last big surge of boxers. Absolutely there have been more like Julio Chavez that came about but the North American Boxing Federation and American Boxing Association dropped the ball in the Eighties when boxing was at its peak or made its last surge?. It could have been handled more aggressively allowing more fights to be televised however, I?m sure the market was there though for that time period this could be debated?

Uphold! There came a sport that has been around before that that aroused the longshoreman on docks far and wide, mixed martial arts. I remember as a kid if you used your feet you were branded a dirty fighter and you were banned from circles on the playgrounds alike. For years there was wrestling in high school and outside of school interests like Judo and Karate but now there is a merge of the sports so explosive it dominates some networks.

Is this the wave of the future, or is it just interested people that are intrigued by the violence and blood spatter it brings? There is a large fan base. One so strong it levees politicians to change the laws to allow the sport dubbed cage fighting in its states. We have superstars like Ken Shamrock, Randy Couture and the ice man Chuck Liddell that have dominated their division, with interests from other countries like Japan, France, Mexico, Canada and Brazil that bring their own style of fighting, noted as Brazilian Jujitsu.

There are conferences like the WEC, Pride and the UFC, Ultimate Fighting Championship that are creating new fighters and promoting new names to keep the sport exciting using an action packed television series as its tool. And the UFC has found a space on the topic line next to all the other sports like the NFL, NBA, NHL alike. A special thanks to Dana White and those out of the lime light that work so diligently to make this happen.

There are some that think this sport is violently aggressive, not supporting the efforts ongoing however, without a doubt these fighters bring to the table a gentleman?s bond and respect of those that watch the sport; imagine fighting to maim and destroy their opponent under controlled circumstances of a Referee then embracing their victim hugs after finishing the fight with a submission or technical knockout?

Stand back America, as this sport of mixed martial arts like mui tai, kick boxing, boxing, wrestling, judo, and jujitsu has a following from women also which is different than that of the American Boxing Association. And informatively is nothing new, it has been around since the Nineties?

There has always been the question, in a match between a boxer and judo expert or a wrestler and a boxer, who would win? Stay tuned because now there are wrestlers coming from the WWE?s Kimbo Slice and boxers such as Toney wanting to cross over to the amazing new sport of mixed martial arts.

its a New Year!

The year started out amazingly normal to say the least, as for the last it blew past. With all the talk of the financial industry falling apart spawned by the housing industry which is managed by the financial industry and then there was the health reform which is more politics than it was about the people was there really any time left for other concerns? We followed our new President through his first one hundred days in office which was quiet according to the media and the wars against terrorism continued throughout the middle east however, the battle cry remained the same, ?last year sucked, lets hope next year is better??

Do we live in the same country? Don?t we all have a little economist in us? If you don?t last year was a good lesson.

Since I can remember manufacturing has faulted at the hint of any problems, every ten years it seems; its called ridding the fat? And politics always shake up the stock, market adding to that the excitement of a healthcare reform bill? Then the housing market comes and goes, as usual.

Conservatively speaking in lieu of all the excitement from last years topics many young people missed the boat. I understand money is hard to come by, many are lazy, and the jobs are scarce however, lets look at the opportunities afloat.

It was an exciting year in the stock market! The healthcare industry cannot find enough help to satisfy their personnel inquiry. overtime is offered at overwhelming needs you just need the desire to work. The housing industry dropped to ten maybe fifteen year lows with he stock market. If by chance you put $1000.00 in the stock market one year ago you would have loved yourself? Therefore your problems would be minute. The harder you work the less problems you have?
