I Think This Needs Wide Spread Dissemination..

WHAT SENATOR JOHN GLENN SAID:


There were 39 combat related killings in Iraq in January.
In the fair city of Detroit there were 35 murders in the
month of January.That's just one American city,
about as deadly as the entire war-torn country of Iraq .



When some claim that President Bush shouldn't
have started this war, consider the following:



a. FDR led us into World War II.

b. Germany never attacked us; Japan did.
>From 1941-1945, 450,000 lives were lost ...
an average of 112,500 per year.



c. Truman finished that war and started one in Korea .
North Korea never attacked us
>From 1950-1953, 55,000 lives were lost ...
an average of 18,334 per year.

d. John F. Kennedy started the Vietnam "conflict" in 1962.
Vietnam never attacked us.

e. Johnson turned Vietnam into a quagmire.
>From 1965-1975, 58,000 lives were lost .
an average of 5,800 per year.

f. Clinton went to war in Bosnia without UN or French consent.
Bosnia never attacked us.
He was offered Osama bin Laden's head on a platter three
times by Sudan and did nothing. Osama has attacked us on
multiple occasions.

g. In the years since terrorists attacked us , President Bush
has liberated two countries, crushed the Taliban, crippled
al-Qaida, put nuclear inspectors in Libya , Iran , and North
Korea without firing a shot, and captured a terrorist who
slaughtered 300,000 of his own people.



Some people are complaining
about how long the war is taking.
But
It took less time to take Iraq than it took Janet Reno
to take the Branch Davidian compound.
That was a 51-day operation.



We've been looking for evidence for chemical weapons
in Iraq for less time than it took Hillary Clinton to find
the Rose Law Firm billing records.



It took less time for the 3rd Infantry Division and the
Marines to destroy the Medina Republican Guard
than it took Ted Kennedy to call the police after his
Oldsmobile sank at Chappaquiddick.



It took less time to take Iraq than it took
to count the votes in Florida !!!!

Our Commander-In-Chief has done a GREAT JOB as far as I am concerned.
The Military morale is high!

The biased media hopes we are too ignorant
to realize the facts



But Wait there's more!



JOHN GLENN (ON THE SENATE FLOOR)
Mon, 26 Jan 2004 11:13



Some people still don't understand why military personnel
do what they do for a living. This exchange between
Senators John Glenn and Senator Howard Metzenbaum
is worth reading. Not only is it a pretty impressive
impromptu speech, but it's also a good example of one
man's explanation of why men and women in the armed
services do what they do for a living



This IS a typical, though sad, example of what
some who have never served think of the military.



Senator Metzenbaum (speaking to Senator Glenn):
"How can you run for Senate
when you've never held a real job?"



Senator Glenn (D-Ohio):
"I served 23 years in the United States Marine Corps.
I served through two wars. I flew 149 missions.
My plane was hit by anti-aircraft fire on 12 different
occasions. I was in the space program. It wasn't my
checkbook, Howard; it was my life on the line. It was
not a nine-to-five job, where I took time off to take the
daily cash receipts to the bank."


"I ask you to go with me ... as I went the other day...
to a veteran's hospital and look those men ..
with their mangled bodies in the eye, and tell THEM
they didn't hold a job!



You go with me to the Space Program at NASA
and go, as I have gone, to the widows and Orphans
of Ed White, Gus Grissom and Roger Chaffee...
and you look those kids in the eye and tell them
that their DADS didn't hold a job.


You go with me on Memorial Day and you stand in
Arlington National Cemetery, where I have more friends
buried than I'd like to remember, and you watch
those waving flags



You stand there, and you think about this nation,
and you tell ME that those people didn't have a job?

What about you?"


For those who don't remember
During WWII, Howard Metzenbaum was an attorney
representing the Communist Party in the USA .
NOW HE'S A SENATOR!!!


If you can read this, thank a teacher.
If you are reading it in English thank a Veteran.

A lady who was 77 died trying to save her cats. She had seven cats and was found dead holding one of her cats. It's believed that one of her cats knocked over a candle which started the fire.

Would you die to save a pet?

Yesterday here in Italy,actually in Sicily opposite from where I live,a cop has been killed outside a stadium during a football game.
Fans got mad and made a mess.But since they were carrying hand made bombs,this means it was planned.The championship has been stopped and stadiums will be closed for the time being.
I just find this accident horrible and am totally in favour to close stadiums.
What's your opinion?

Just wondering... I love my job, but maybe want kids someday too. I don't want to give up (a) to do (b)... I've heard that priorities like this go out the window after having a child. Did anyone here totally intend on going back to work, but end up staying home instead? sometimes, I know, daycare is so expensive that it doesn't make sense for both people to work ... ?

I opened up my stupid mouth and said that my parents told me I was spending too much time with her, which was a mistake in itself, and she was offended by it. Now she feels that my parents dont want us to be together and that she isnt good enough for me, even though I'm the luckiest guy in the world to be with her...it seems like everytime I see her she becomes sad all of the sudden and I see her being fine when she's not around me...any suggestions...or is this out of reach? I really want to make this work.

Does your honda start 50 percent of the time? Is it completly random at anytime during the day? For some reason after pumping gas it won't start. You hear the fuel pump working and it turns over just fine but the sucker won't start. And at times when it turns over it dies in a second or two.

I KNOW HOW TO FIX IT!! I've been going through the same problem for about 6 months on and off. i changed spark plug wires, distributor cap, new battery and cables and that didn't fix the problem. My car sounded healthy when it cranked but it wouldn't turn over! This would happen randomly no matter if it was hot or cold. The problem is the MAIN RELAY under the dash. They are known to go bad on hondas and acuras. When you turn the key you hear the fuel pump and after wards there should be a click at the main relay. If it doesn't click all the time the relay is bad. This is a good way to find the relay as well. turn the key to hear and feel where the relay is. here are a few links to help you change out the relay. i'm telling you after i changed this my car started every time!! Go to the honda dealer and buy a new one for about $69. On a 98 accord coupe ex v6 model the part number is 39400-S84-003. Do this before doing big jobs like changing the distributor or fuel pump. And do it yourself to save $$. Good luck guys!

For about a week the cd-rom on my computer has been making loud noises and then it opens by itself. I close the cd-rom and it opens by itself again. This happens about 3 or more times. Other than that it works fine. I checked my computer for viruses and it doesn't have any. So why does the cd-rom open up by itself?
