News & Events - November 2006

I heard a song by John Lennon on the radio and after playing the song the DJ talked about his "assassination", and I just couldn't figure out why he was considered assassinated, when all other assassinations involved polititians.

Lets face it, it is practically a Civil War. Yet, Bush denys it. What would you call the situation in Iraq? A Civil War? What?

We all know hindsight is better than foresight.
Everyone has experienced something and learned the right way by doing it wrong the first time.
Sometimes the second, third, fourth and fifth time too.
So what about you. What took you doing something wrong all of your life to finally learn how to do it right.
There were so many of my experiences to pixk from, but I think my biggest, toughest lesson was about money. I always thought (for some insane notion) that credit cards were a really good idea when you could not afford something, or if you had an emergency. It took almost half a century for me to understand you should always have savings.
There are others, but that's the toughest one for me. I know because I sat down and calculated when I bought something with a credit card, and added all the CC payments up until I closed the account. As Hans said, no reward is worth this! So, what about you?

It's been all over the ******* television these last 3 weeks, politicians doing nothing but exaggerating eachother's weaknesses, or using their well-experimented political propaganda to instigate false beliefs.

The last commercial I saw was about senator Jim Davis, who is supposed to "raise taxes by 1 billion dollars." If he becomes governer of Florida. Well who actually does the math? If there are 20 million people in Florida, WHICH THERE ARE, this adds up to average 50 dollars a person, per year. But all that we are seeing is the whole picture. 1 Billion dollars. Oh no, this guy is going to take my car. That I don't have in the first place.

I believe that the answer to all this bullshit is education. We are consistently electing officials who's primary goal is to lower taxes. Why? America has enough money from all of the **** we DON'T know about. So let's support the unknown and lower taxes.

Or how about we put that 50 dollars per person into educational research? The only thing left in this world that will give us even a shred of a chance at existing another 1,000 years is education. And as it is, education is going down the shitter. Now, anyone can agree that our education is better than it was 100 years ago. Maybe, twice as good. Too bad we have 50x the amount of knowledge. Maybe if we were properly educated, we could see through all of this bullshit. Maybe if we could think for ourselves we wouldn't have to let them think for us. Maybe we will all just die horrible gruesome deaths and never see it coming

that chavez is a mini-castro. who wants to bring socialism back to venezuela. i have lived in spain who is also socialism and it can be ok, but the idea that he wants the country to carry the only color red instead of their traditions colors, to also follow the ideas and works of fidel castro , who when it power changed his socialism to communision. Chavez is a madman. with crazy ideas that he is going to help the poor (same as castro) , bring more power to the country by closing free trade with the united states, and welcoming other south and central countries joined in his power. this all sounds to me, to easily as castro brought in the soviet union (before the soviet union was torned down). I honeslty think there are too many blinded sided people who instead of looking at the past mistakes that other countries have done, think that Chavez will be good for venezuela. this is my opinion, does anyone else have an educational opinion to give.

My stepchildren’s mother passed away suddenly on Monday morning and I am wondering when/if/ or how long it will take to be listed in the obituary section of the newspaper. I am not sure if the death is something listed by the hospital or if the family has to provide that information. Also, how long does it take from the time of death to the availability of the death certificate?

Any help provided will be much appreciated.
