The Black Widow images.nationalgeographic.com/wpf/media-live/photos/000/004/cache/black-widow-spider_469_600x450.jpg![]() images.nationalgeographic.com/wpf....469_600x450.jpg[/img] ...............vs images.nationalgeographic.com/wpf/media-live/photos/000/007/cache/tarantula_735_600x450.jpg The Black Widow vs the Tarantula I think you can distinguish the difference! The Black Widow is 'black' slick and smooth and has a serious bite but not deadly. The Tarantula is big and hairy, scary, and it's bit is not serious Similarities: ..they both have 8 legs to stand on, moving from some to others depending on curcumstances ..spin a web capable of causing distraction, inconvenience, hysteria, and catching many in their paths. ..tend to hang out in inconspicuous places with others of their kind --but just look @ Obama and Romney and you'll see what I'm talking about! Why has most the country made it's mind up it's between the two? "WE" got three more important elections coming up, who's to say what happens where, and why, it's not what "WE" thought it would be! It's the same o-same o ... pick the best of the worse ...why couldn't there have been a Republican candidate that wooed the populace? (( ..or-is-there? )) I see Dr. Paul as the only choice (( except maybe Santorum)) to win it all by bringing the independents with him which I think he can do-sure there's many things 'we' can't agree on but his position with the "big problems" ( mainly government itself ) would be diminished on his call because he'd have all the [ regular people ] behind him. The FOR, OF, and BY "US"!!! |

=*= First I must 'confess' this comes from FOX NEWS =*= Here are three scenarios for Saturday's Palmetto Stakes: Scenario One: Romney Squeaks By Finishing Order: Romney, Gingrich, Paul, Santorum Most of Perry's votes had already gone to Gingrich, but the devout Texan's endorsement on Thursday still packs a punch. Perry gave his personal blessing to Gingrich, despite the former speaker's past failings. Like the almost kind words from Sarah Palin, Perry's expression of grace will go a long way to absolve serious Christians of their concerns about Gingrich on a day when his second wife was trying to destroy his candidacy by again accusing him of having been a creep who wanted to have a mistress. Scenario Two: Newt Nukes Romney Finishing Order: Gingrich, Romney, Paul, Santorum When Gingrich turned CNN's John King over his knee and gave the anchor a sound spanking for a lead-off debate question about the former speaker's 12-year-old divorce, one was reminded how much Republicans love to hate the establishment press. Gingrich may have never been better than he was in Monday's FOX News/Wall Street Journal debate, but he showed enough of the old flash on Thursday to remind South Carolina voters that they love to see their Georgia bulldog sink his teeth into an opponent's hindquarters. Scenario Three: Right Can't Unite Finishing Order: Romney, Gingrich, Santorum, Paul Rick Santorum was totally ticked off on Thursday. He blasted Gingrich and Romney over and over with a disdain bordering on contempt. The message to South Carolina conservatives: "These guys? Really?" And Santorum has company in his view that neither the changeable, moderate, Mormon former governor of Massachusetts nor the thrice married, mercurial former House speaker merit the support of evangelicals who prize personal character and political conservatism equally in candidates.

VOTER FRAUD
(The Justice Department has blocked the measure in South Carolina, so voters on Saturday will not need a photo ID to vote.)
Those eligible citizens who do not have a photo ID tend towards the more disenfranchised citizens: 25% of African-Americans have no photo ID, 15% of people earning less than $35,000 have no photo ID, and 18% of the elderly have no photo ID. This represents millions of citizens in each category. Such laws also penalize college students since many of these laws require in-state photo IDs, which prevents college students from voting at their college if they attend from out-of-state.
The right-wing Heritage Foundation trumpets a paper that claims that only 1.2% registered voters lack a valid photo ID. That may seem low, but nearly 130 million votes were cast in the 2008 presidential election, so that would translate into roughly 1,560,000 voters
Mathematically it's stated the cost of implementing voter ID is out weighed by the abuse
I personally feel each voter should have to show their ( 1040 )
Federal Income Tax statement in order to vote.

=*= ANALOGY 101 =*=
Sheep - People
There are more similarities than differences. Each is grazing on green pastures, both have tendencies to eat the grass into the ground not realizing by doing so they have prevented the grass from making a normal recovery. Then there is a sudden panic,
what can we do?
Now they realize they need a Shepherd to lead them to new pastures. First observation shows a small flock following a guy with a stick in his hand so they proceed accordingly. Then they see another guy with a bigger stick and his flock is larger, so they redirect their attention to his leadership. Then a 3rd and maybe a 4th guy shows up. one with a stick and the other with
one that's different. It's got a hook or handle on top of the stick.
This guy is among his flock using his 'rod' to move the sheep around and actually using the loop around the neck of- some- of
the sheep. What could this mean, they don't seem to mind?
"Wait!" He's pushing them out in front and he is moving to the rear of the flock and the sheep in front or leading. Could they
possibly have greater knowledge where the next green pasture
is 'more than the Shepard'?
The shepherd leading the sheep is leading them to slaughter,
The Shepperd @ the back of the flock is letting the sheep decide their own destiny. Which shepherd do you want?

The truth about 'class warfare' in America
Taking his cue from Warren Buffett, President Obama has announced a 'millionaire tax' as part of his budget plan; Republicans have denounced it as 'class warfare'.
Republicans and conservatives always fight back against proposals to raise taxes on corporations and rich individuals by making two basic claims.
First, such proposals amount to un-American "class warfare", pitting the working class against corporations and the rich.
Second, such proposals would take money for the government that would otherwise have been invested in production and thus created jobs.
Neither logic nor evidence supports either claim. The charge of class war is particularly obtuse. Consider simply these two facts. First, at the end of the second world war, for every dollar Washington raised in taxes on individuals, it raised $1.50 in taxes on business profits.
Today, that ratio is very different: for every dollar Washington gets in taxes on individuals, it takes 25 cents in taxes on business. In short, the last half century has seen a massive shift of the burden of federal taxation off business and onto individuals.
Second, across those 50 years, the actual shift that occurred was the opposite of the much more modest reversal proposed this week by President Obama;– and never for what the last five decades have accomplished in shifting the tax burden from the rich and corporations to the working class.
The tax structure imposed by Washington on the US over the last half-century has seen a massive double shift of the burden of taxation: from corporations to individuals and from the richest individuals to everyone else. If the national debate wants seriously to use a term like "class war" to describe Washington's tax policies, then the reality is that the class war's winners have been corporations and the rich. Its losers – the rest of us – now want to reduce our losses modestly by small increases in taxes on the super-rich .
To refer to this effort as if it had suddenly introduced class war into US politics is either dishonest or based on ignorance of what federal tax policies have actually been. Or perhaps, for conservatives, it is a convenient mixture of both.
Much the same sort of analysis applies to the Republican claims that taxing corporations and rich people takes money that would otherwise be invested in business growth and thus create jobs. Last Friday, the US Federal Reserve reported a record quantity of cash on the books of US businesses (over $2tn). Even with the currently low taxes on businesses and the rich, that money is not being invested and is not creating jobs. It is not being distributed to anyone else and so is not being spent on consumer goods either. Taxing a portion of that money to finance Washington's stimulation of the economy by spending that money – or even better, by using it to hire and pay the unemployed – would be a much more effective way to provide jobs than leaving it as cash hoards in corporations' coffers.

Police: Teen speeding before fatal collision
Full story: Daily Journal
Police said a Columbus teenager will be cited for speeding in connection with an accident that killed a Greenwood woman last week in northern Jackson County.
```````````````````````
Police said a Columbus teenager will be cited for speeding in connection with an accident that killed a Greenwood woman last week in northern Jackson County.
Katelin Nicole Garris, 17, was traveling at least 76 mph on State Road 11 on Friday when a van driven by Sharlene Mellencamp, 72, of Greenwood, pulled out in front of her from a county road, authorities said. The speed limit in the area is 55 mph.
Mellencamp, a retired teacher who worked for Greenwood and Center Grove schools and at Greenwood Christian Academy, was pronounced dead at the scene. Four other people were injured, including Garris.
Indiana State Police Trooper Matthew Holley said the crash remains under investigation, and he is working with the Jackson County prosecutor’s office to review the case.
Garris’ family disputes the police findings.

Sounds like "Probable Cause!" to me...

Jeepers Creepers
QUOTE JJ: What is next, implant a tracking chip made by 666 Inc.? When it first starts, it will be for the public good...a way to find lost dogs and children, when it ends it will be a government requirement and an abuse of power.
Chip Implants Already Here
Reporting technology currently in place which eventually could be used when the edict is issued to take the mark of the beast in the right hand or in the forehead in order to buy or sell or be killed.
Are you ready to "Get Chipped"?
Chips Ahoy!! -- New Meaning of "Micro-Management"
RFID tags: Big Brother in small packages - Could we be constantly tracked through our clothes, shoes or even our cash in the future?
" . . . and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: and that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name."
-- Revelation 13:15-17
Are you going to get the mark or take your chances?
``````````````````````````````````````
"IF" it becomes mandatory for children to be chipped in case of disappearance for any reason-what will they grow up to be?
adults-job done!

"Rambling Man"
Oh, naive little me
Asking what things you have seen
You're vulnerable in your head
You'll scream and you'll wail till you're dead
Creatures veiled by night
Following things that aren't right
And they're tired and they need to be led
Or you'll scream and you'll wail till you're dead
But give me to a rambling man
Let it always be known that I was who I am
Beaten, battered and cold
My children will live just to grow old
But if I sit here and weep
I'll be rolled-over by jj's jeep
And the weak need to be led
And the tender I'll carry to their bed
And it's a pale and cold affair
I'll be damned if I'll be found there
But give me to a rambling man
Let it always be known that I was who I am
It's funny how the first chords you come to
Are the minor notes that come to serenade you
It's hard to accept yourself as someone
You don't desire as someone you don't want to be
Oh, give me to a rambling man
Let it always be known that I was who I am
Oh, give me to a rambling man
Let it always be known that I was who I am

Gingrich, the former House speaker, told an overflow crowd gathered on Florida's space coast today that he wants to develop a robust commercial space industry in line with the airline boom of the 1930s. He also wants to expand exploration of Mars. The pronouncements appeared to thrill the crowd of roughly 700 people. Florida's space coast is still suffering from a recent round of federal cuts to the space program. But how would Gingrich pay for it? The Republican presidential contender says he wants to offer prizes to help stimulate investment by the private sector. =*= Who said "The sky is the limit for Newt? =*= |

January 29, 2012, 10:38 AM.Ron Paul Criticizes Iran Approach.
By Michael M. Phillips
Republican president hopeful Ron Paul on Sunday likened Iran’s response to U.S. sanctions and saber-rattling over its nuclear ambitions to America’s response to the Sept. 11, 2001, hijackings.
“Just as 9-11 brought our people together in a nationalistic way, this is what happens over there,” the Texas congressman said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” Mr. Paul has been an outspoken critic of what he sees as an excessively interventionist U.S. foreign policy.
I read Fars News Agency regularly and Ron is exactly right. Just like our national news media twist things around to make everything pro-Obama so does Fars. But in truth what they say, as best I can tell, is much more accurate about "US" than "WE" say about them.
We fail to have honest diplomatic conversation with other countries, they have learned from experience to [ watch their backs ] when ever they deal with us.
Some of the people we have supported because they were enemies of our enemies include, Saddam Hussain, Muammar Gaddafi, Egyption president Murabeck and, in fact, dozens of repressive regimes and how has that worked out for us?
Yes! we've supported many and then had to{had to is not exactly a true expression} turn around nd declare war on them.
The current problems in Iran stem from a regime change we engineered in 1953 during the Eisenhower administration.
In 1953 Iran was a parliamentary democracy.
The U.S. and Britain felt it was too socialistic( planning to nationalize the oil fields) and under the leadership of Allen Dulles the CIA arranged a coup that put the Shaw in power as a monarchy. (There we go-thinking again-sticking our nose in what's not our business..&.. and of course oil is involved)
When-did-this-begin?
Maybe we shouldn't have called it WW II.. ever since we won that we've felt we should be the Worlds' voice. Since we were the 'champs' the rest of the world has got to do what we tell them to do.

Nopo will recall I'm sure extensive research concerning Freud's studies, theory's, and conclusions.
In psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud defined hate as an ego state that wishes to destroy the source of its unhappiness. More recently, the *Penguin Dictionary of Psychology defines hate as a "deep, enduring, intense emotion expressing animosity, anger, and hostility towards a person, group, or object." Because hatred is believed to be long-lasting, many psychologists consider it to be more of an attitude or disposition than a temporary emotional state.
*Penguin Dictionary of Psychology defines hate as a "deep, enduring, intense emotion expressing animosity, anger, and hostility towards each other.
