*---- Quotes For The Week ----* It is the spirit and not the form of law that keeps justice alive.--EARL WARREN ---------------------------------------------------------- Let the workers organize. Let the toilers assemble. Let their crystallized voice proclaim their injustices and demand their privileges. Let all thoughtful citizens sustain them, for the future of Labor is the future of America.--JOHN L. LEWIS ---------------------------------------------------------- Men acquire a particular quality by constantly acting in a particular way.--Aristotle ---------------------------------------------------------- **--- MYSTERY QUOTE ---** On some positions, Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' And Vanity comes along and asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But Conscience asks the question 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but...

*---- Quotes For The Week ----* Meanwhile, whether we dismantle our empire or not, China will become (if it isn't already) the world's next superpower.--Chalmers Johnson ---------------------------------------------------------- I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It's just that the translations have gone wrong.-–John Lennon ---------------------------------------------------------- In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.--Albert Schweitzer ---------------------------------------------------------- **--- MYSTERY QUOTE ---** Just look at us.

We could use one or two of these bad boys on the Safety Corridor between Eureka and Arcata.

If this doesn't define irony i don't know what does.

What, you ask, is 'Butt dust'? Read on and you'll discover the joy in it! JACK (age 3) was watching his Mom breast-feeding his new baby sister... After a while he asked: 'Mom why have you got two? Is one for hot and one for cold milk? MELANIE (age 5) asked her Granny how old she was.. Granny replied she was so old she didn't remember any more. Melanie said, 'If you don't remember you must look in the back of your panties. Mine say five to six.' STEVEN (age 3) hugged and kissed his Mom good night. 'I love you so much that when you die I'm going to bury you outside my bedroom window.' BRITTANY (age 4) had an ear ache and wanted a pain killer. She tried in vain to take the lid off the bottle. Seeing her frustration, her Mom explained it was a child-proof cap and she'd have to open it for her. Eyes wide with wonder, the little girl asked: 'How does it know it's me?' SUSAN (age 4) was drinking juice when she got the hiccups. '...

Read this through slowly and try to comprehend the amount of force produced in just under 4 seconds! There are no rockets or airplanes built by any government in the world that can accelerate from a standing start as fast as a Top Fuel Dragster or Funny Car! DEFINITION OF ACCELERATION One top fuel dragster 500 cubic inch Hemi engine makes more horsepower than the first 4 rows of stock cars at the Daytona 500. It takes just 15/100ths of a second for all 6,000+ horsepower of an NHRA Top Fuel dragster engine to reach the rear wheels. Under full throttle, a dragster engine consumes 1-1/2 gallons of nitro methane per second; a fully loaded 747 consumes jet fuel at the same rate with 25% less energy being produced. A stock Dodge Hemi V8 engine cannot produce enough power to drive the dragster's supercharger. With 3,000 CFM of air being rammed in by the supercharger on overdrive, the fuel mixture is compressed into a near-solid form before ignition. Cylinders run on the verge of hydrauli...

A 4 minute description of what has occurred on our planet over the last 200 years - interesting: 200 Countries, 200 Years, 4 Minutes. Swedish academic superstar Hans Rosling graphically illustrates global development over the last 200 years: CLICK HERE

The song that silenced the cappuccino machine. It was chilly in Manhattan but warm inside the Starbucks shop on 51st Street and Broadway, just a skip up from Times Square . Early November weather in New York City holds only the slightest hint of the bitter chill of late December and January, but it's enough to send the masses crowding indoors to vie for available space and warmth. For a musician, it's the most lucrative Starbucks location in the world, I'm told, and consequently, the tips can be substantial if you play your tunes right. Apparently, we were striking all the right chords that night, because our basket was almost overflowing. It was a fun, low-pressure gig - I was playing keyboard and singing backup for my friend who also added rhythm with an arsenal of percussion instruments. We mostly did pop songs from the '40s to the '90s with a few original tunes thrown in. During our emotional rendition of the classic, "If You Don't Know Me by Now,"...

Goodness is meant for sharing... She's sitting at the table with her gourmet coffee. Her son is on the cover of the Wheaties box. Her daughter is on the cover of Business Week. Her boyfriend is on the cover of Playgirl. And her ex-husband is on the back of the milk carton. Keep reading-they get better!!! WOMEN'S REVENGE 'Cash, check or charge?' I asked, after folding items the woman wished to purchase. As she fumbled for her wallet, I noticed a remote control for a television set in her purse. 'So, do you always carry your TV remote?' I asked. 'No,' she replied, 'but my husband refused to come shopping with me, and I figured this was the most evil thing I could do to him legally.' UNDERSTANDING WOMEN (A MAN'S PERSPECTIVE) I know I'm not going to understand women. I'll never understand how you can take boiling hot wax, pour it onto your upper thigh, rip the hair out by the root, and still be afraid of a spider. CIGARETTES AND TAMPONS ...

I love this. How many of you knew? Too bad this type news doesn't travel as fast as bad. Communion on the Moon: July 20, 1969 (This is an article by Eric Metaxas ) Forty years ago two human beings changed history by walking on the surface of the moon. But what happened before Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong exited the Lunar Module is perhaps even more amazing, if only because so few people know about it. "I'm talking about the fact that Buzz Aldrin took communion on the surface of the moon. Some months after his return, he wrote about it in Guideposts magazine. And a few years ago I had the privilege of meeting him myself. I asked him about it and he confirmed the story to me, and I wrote about in my book Everything You Always Wanted to Know About God (But Were Afraid to Ask). The background to the story is that Aldrin was an elder at his Presbyterian Church in Texas during this period in his life, and knowing that he would soon be doing something unprecedented in human hi...

1. Avoid riding in automobiles Because they are responsible for 20% of all fatal accidents. 2. Do not stay home because 17% of all accidents occur in the home. 3. Avoid walking on streets or sidewalks because 14% of all accidents occur to pedestrians. 4.. Avoid traveling by air, rail, or water because 16% of all accidents involve these forms of transportation. 5. Of the remaining 33%, 32% of all deaths occur in Hospitals. So, above all else, avoid hospitals. But... You will be pleased to learn that only .001% of all deaths occur in worship services in church, and these are usually related to previous physical disorders. Therefore, logic tells us that the safest place for you to be at any given point in time is at Church! And...Bible study is safe too! The percentage of deaths during Bible study is even less. So, attend church, and read your Bible. IT WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE! GOD BLESS!!

I'm sending this to all of my friends. Some live in other countries and may not understand the mind set of Americans, especially our founding fathers. I think this power point pretty well puts things in perspective. Hopefully, y'all will understand after viewing. Harold Guns, knives, swords, spears, and arrows do not kill people. People (sometimes animals and natural disasters) kill people. That is the bottom line. Have you ever seen or heard of a knife jump up and say I'm going to kill John Doe and then do it? Nope, there has to be a person holding that knife in order for someone to die. End of discussion. An accident is ALWAYS caused by someone's carelessness! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is very good. Please take the time to watch. An excellent lesson whatever your political position.

*---- Quotes For The Week ----* None is more impoverished than the one who has no gratitude. Gratitude is a currency that we can mint for ourselves, and spend without fear of bankruptcy. --Fred De Witt Van Amburgh ---------------------------------------------------------- Our hearts must know the world of reason, and reason must be guided by an informed heart.--Bruno Bettelheim ---------------------------------------------------------- The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science.
