Well it’s about time we went out and bought something that is worth while.  The 65 new Fighter Jets are just  a small part of what should be replace.  In most countries we have been the laughing stock of the world.   Think about this.  22 Billion dollars blown by the Liberals starting the war in Afghanistan  to begin with.
It’s also ok for the Liberals to  spend another 22 billion a year on harmless green house items and tax, tax, tax, to make our Powers That Be, wealthy.
The Liberals say, “don’t buy any jets, its better to complain about the torturing of the Taliban and leave the Canadian soldiers for dead using in antiquated equipment.”  Some equipment so old that they are literally falling apart.
Kind of wonder what the Liberals will complain about next. Bottom line is……. they love attacking the Conservatives, they are famous for that. They also spend billions of dollars on anything and everything that will get them elected and not what is good for the country.    I believe that we should protect and enhance the earth, to preserve it for future generations.  To do so we must not rely on other countries to do it for us, as we have been doing now for the past thirty years or so.  Some say that praying and letting things work itself out will look after things.  I say that is a bunch of, well you know what.   It’s like the old farmer out in the garden.  Fellow came by and said.  ” My friend I see the Lord has given you a beutiful garden there this year.”  The old farmer scratched his face and said.  “Don’t know about that.  But you should have seen what it looked like when he was doing it on his own before I got here.”  In other words we are the ones that gets things done, not no Higher Power.  Sitting on our rumps doesn’t get things done, doesn’t save lives doesn’t make this earth a better place to live on.  Live today as it’s your last and in doing so your world will become a better place.  My Opinion Only as usual.

SO ‘Pathetically’ TRUE………………

We’re “broke” & can’t help our own Seniors,
Veterans, Orphans, Homeless etc.,?????????

In the last months we have provided aid to
Haiti , Chile , and Turkey .

Our retired seniors living on a ‘fixed income’
receive no aid nor do they get any breaks
while our government and religious
organizations pour Hundreds of Millions of
$$$$$’s and Tons of Food to Foreign Countries!

We have hundreds of adoptable children
who are shoved aside to make room for
the adoption of foreign orphans.

CANADA: a country where we have
homeless without shelter,  children going
to bed hungry, elderly going without
‘needed’ meds, and mentally ill without
treatment -etc,etc.
YET……………….
They have a ‘Benefit’ for the people of Haiti
on 12 TV stations, ships and planes lining
up with food, water, tents clothes, bedding,,
doctors and medical supplies.

Imagine if the *GOVERNMENT*  gave ‘US’
the same support they give to other
countries.

Sad isn’t it?

Actual house sales activity was down 19.7% in June 2010 from a year ago, but the price of a home has rose just 4.9% from a year ago. Now if a feller or gal gets to lookin’ at these figures it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out the problem here.  First off the new HST didn’t help any, but the main reason is that homes today are selling for way to much money and folks have reached their limits of how much they can put towards a home.  Simple as that.  One other thing that has caught my attention is that the homes of today are twice the size as one needs.  Today though one doesn’t think ahead, they go for looks, keeping up with the Jone’s and things like that.  Big homes that could hold around fifteen people with only two to four living in them.  The upkeep alone would put  a feller or gal in the poor house.  My Opinion Only

For most parts we don’t really know what is going on in the Gulf of Mexico with the oil spill.  Some say a certain amount of oil is being poured into it, some say more.  Myself I believe the situation is actually much worse than what the Powers That Be want you to believe.
I would think millions of gallons of oil is covering the Gulf right now.  Thing is folks, if this oil makes it way into the Gulf Stream currents, well lets just say it wouldn’t be good. Even as it is right now the impact from the oil will take hundreds of years to clean up.  I don’t think they can clean it up to what it once was.
The one thing we have to realise, is that we can’t live without the oceans, and what are we doing.  With man’s greed we might have just set loose a giant monster from the depths of the earth that could destroy us all.  I still believe we have the technology to stop this, question is do we have enough time. In closing I would like to say this; One just can’t keep taking from Mother Nature, destroying her home with out her not retaliating in some way.  This is only one incident, there are many, many more, just waiting, waiting to come forth to destroy its enemy, MAN.   My Opinion Only.

Alzheimer’s is slowly progressing every day among our old.  For most parts they say there is nothing anyone can do.  The Powers That Be, that is.  Well for me I believe there is a cure out there for it, just that folks today aren’t doing things that need doing.  Below are three things that if done would pretty well eliminate this terrible thing called, Alzheimer’s.  The last one, number three should be looked at real close.  If you don’t use your brain it is going to just shut down.  Things one should and could be doing is, Puzzles, Writing Poems, Problem Solving, anything that makes the old mind work.  Not easy things either, as that is what the problem is today.  Folks don’t use their minds for anything, they rely on others to do it for them.  Not a good thing folks, so get that mind and body to working.  My Opinion Only

#1) Avoid processed foods
This may seem obvious, but besides nitrates, many processed foods are loaded with neurotoxins like MSG and aspartame that may be linked to Alzheimer’s. Processed foods also contain toxins like trans-fats and refined sugar that compromise your health. Stick with whole, organic foods and your #1) Avoid processed foods
This may seem obvious, but besides nitrates, many processed foods are loaded with neurotoxins like MSG and aspartame that may be linked to Alzheimer’s. Processed foods also contain toxins like trans-fats and refined sugar that compromise your health. Stick with whole, organic foods and your Alzheimer’s risk will be significantly reduced.

#2) Install a home water filter
Most municipal tap water systems are treated with chlorine, fluoride and other chemicals that harm your health. These chemicals are easily absorbed by your skin when you take a shower or drink unfiltered tap water. (Does anybody really do that anymore?) A whole-house activated carbon filtration system will remove most or all of these toxins from tap water. risk will be significantly reduced.

#3) Exercise regularly
By exercise, I’m talking about both physical and mental exercise. Physical exercise directly contributes to increased brain function because it reinforces neural connections in your brain, which in turn improves memory and learning capability. Mental exercises such as working on crossword puzzles will also help to keep your cognitive function in top shape. (Use it or lose it, folks!)

You know for years now I have been saying that this off shore drilling in the Gulf is a disater waiting to happen.   Thing is this isn’t going to be cleaned up in a few months, it is going to take years and then some if it recovers at all.  With all our technology today isn’t it a shame that so much has to be lost because of the all mighty dollar.  Oil continues to spill out of the sunken rig wreck at the rate of 5,000 barrels a day. So far, there’s little hope of stopping it.  On another note one should remember that every toxic chemical, heavy metal and pharmaceutical that’s flushed down the drain ends up getting dumped into the Gulf, kind of like our Great Lakes, so now add this on to the oil, well……… lets just say it isn’t good.  Especially since 50% of the seafood one eats comes from the Gulf Of Mexico.  Even without the oil is it any wonder why so many folks are getting sick these days eating the fish that comes out of the Gulf.   Some call this progress, I call it down right stupidity.  My Opinion Only as usual.  Click On Link below to see how large the oil spill is, as of today and steadily growing larger.

You know certain things come along in E-Mails that sometimes need to be put out there.  This is one that came to me the other day. It is right along my way of thinking so thought I would share.

This is so pathetically true…in the last month we have provided aid to Haiti, Chile, and Turkey.
Our retired seniors living on a fixed income receive no aid while our  government and religious organisations pour hundreds of millions of   dollars and tons of food to foreign countries.
We have hundreds of adoptable children who are shoved aside to make  room for the adoption of foreign orphans.
Why are so many CANADIAN citizens, and the CANADIAN government,   so star struck they won’t provide for our own?
CANADA: a country where we have homeless without shelter, children going to bed without eating, elderly going without needed meds,   and mentally ill without treatment -

yet we have a benefit for the people of Haiti on 12 TV stations, ships and planes lining up with food, water, tents, clothes, bedding, doctors and medical supplies.
Imagine if we gave ourselves the same support that we gave all other countries.

I feel bad for them but I also care about CANADA.

One has to remember that we have to look after ourselves first.  Why? Some ask.  Well simple, if we don’t,  the time will come we won’t be able to help anyone.  My Opinion Only

You know years ago when us young ones did something wrong a trip to the old wood shed would be in order.  Today though, things has changed, and instead of headin’ off to the wood shed to be disciplined, we now put them on Prozac or some other drug. Or who ever was doing the discipline would be hauled up in court.  Thing is, with all these new modern ways of handling problems, kids of today are worse off than before.   Kind of makes you think doesn’t it.   Now don’t get me wrong I am not  into beating a youngster, but a smack on the behind now and then if he or she is doing something wrong, in my eyes isn’t a bad thing.  My Opinion Only.
