To all this may concern:

I write to you in hopes that you can help me tell my story that ruined my life for the simple fact that I was of Arab descent. I am first generation American whose parents are Palestinians; my name is Eyad Shalash. The United States Federal Government appallingly took my freedom and all that was familiar to me in seconds--only to dismiss the case days before trial and with absolutely no apology. I whole heartedly believe I was a victim of racial profiling. I never had anticipated myself ever having to write anyone the way I am now.
I was a senior at University of South Carolina, on the Life Scholarship, double majoring in international business and finance. I held the esteem position of being on the Dean's List for the three semesters prior to my senior year, as well. The Charges that were brought against me from the Federal Government was that of a sealed indictment, so at the time I had absolutely no idea what was going on. In fact, I thought it was a sick joke because I knew myself one not to mess with anything remotely illegal---moreover, a sealed indictment? I felt as if I was being treated like a member of Al-Qaieda.
Maybe because of my Arab descent, they felt that I was a danger to homeland security? Sadly, I'll never know. Anyway, I suffered major losses. One that hit home was losing my internship with Merrill Lynch because of the farce of an ongoing investigation into which they were pouring useless energy. The following which I will explain not only caused me to suffer with my education and career but nearly caused my mother a stroke.
The ATF (Alcohol Tobacco and Firearm agency) in ways I'll never understand accused my older brother and I for selling crack cocaine and ecstasy with sentences that reached twenty to life. It was 2005 and supposedly their whole investigation started the beginning of 2002---only a few months after the horrific terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center Buildings. They shackled my brother as if he was a serial killer and told me to turn myself in or they'll have to take me in. Not knowing, at the time, what the possible problem could be, I obliged. I never believed in the Land of the Free, the land of justice and liberty for all, that i would be fighting for my innocence.
Only Two weeks from trial, my lawyer informed me that the case was dismissed. Overjoyed, at first, I was. Only to become so infuriated that I became severely ill and had a dangerously high fever. Thoughts rushed through my head, why should I be happy to get my freedom back? It should not have been taken away from me in the first place! Yet, I did not even get back all my freedom. It has been nearly a year from the day I was accused of all this and still unemployed today because everywhere I apply, I get rejected once they do a background check on me. After all this, one would think the Government would at least take everything off my record that they placed.
I have become cynical in the sense of why would the Government go through the hassle of cleaning up their own mess--I am nothing in their eyes. The Government still has their mark on my "criminal" history record. I was robbed of everything that I accomplished and no apology given. My education was everything I had. Each day in school was like a brick that I used to build my house of success, and once I reached placing the roof of my house, a bulldozer comes and demolishes the years of hard work in seconds. On top of that, they take the bricks with them hindering my ability to even start again.
I was fortunate enough that my family had the money for the lawyer that we had, but we lost over one hundred thousand dollars to them, along with all my dreams and hopes of ever working for a big corporation. Yes, I live in the USA, the country that gives you the most freedom in the world and the country that can rip them away in a split second even if they just do it by mistake. I feel my life is hopeless now. All my dreams of success have now all faded away. I sometimes regret waking up in the morning, jobless at the age of 23 with a college degree. All I ask is for some help or at least for a finger pointing me in the right direction where I can get help. Or at the least, an apology to give me hope in this country once more. More of this story was in the front page of the Charleston paper; I copied that and attached it as well.


Sincerely,
Eyad Shalash

I am truly sickened by the number of responses with the word truly used to denote some sort of half-baked genuine, heart-felt and thought provoking belief. Truly, the use of this word in all facets of on-line communication is getting on my nerves. I truly hope that I am not the only one.

I was diagnoised with diabetes type II, but haven't started any medication yet that my doctor has put me on. Since my diagnoises, I've been cutting out sugars to maybe at most 1 to 5mg a day and the same for carbs. I've dropped from 267 to 250 in two weeks. I eat a healthy lunch which consists of a salad, couple of small portions of meat, lots of veggies and a glass of tea with sweet-n-low. I towards the evening time I have large salad w/tomatoes, celery, carrots, bacon bits (small amount) and oil and vinegar. I'll usually have a 3 egg beater omellet w/diced ham and vegetables for breakfast. After two weeks of eating like this, my glucose has dropped from 230 to and is stabilizing around 104 to 130. My skin seems to be changing and looks and feels smother and I'm zipping in and out of places with lots of energy. I'm I doing this right? Are those acceptable blood sugar ranges that will not hurt my body? i.e. eyes, feet ect

For example, how about jeans made of 99% cotton and 1% spandex? This always bothers me when I buy clothes because I'm not exactly sure if I should buy one size bigger just in case it shrinks. But if it doesn't shrink, then I end up like a fool... LIKE A FOOL!

So is it true that Wyoming doesn't exist? People who claim to have visited were obviously brainwashed into thinking they did. Images and films fo Wyoming were made in Idaho and Montana. Because Wyoming is where the aliens grow plastic. Hell, where else would plastic come from?
