Ramblings of an old soul
Tuesday April 12, 2011
Here I am at age 75 so pumped up over life that I can hardly believe it. Nothing in life's rules says that you can't do better after retirement age than before.
I have embarked on a journey to improve peoples health one person at a time. I started a young woman on my products about a month ago and she is already down from a size 18 to a 12 and she is elated. Another of my customers was living a life of lethargy, no energy, no pep and 65 pounds over weight. She has lost 30 pounds and tell me that she has more energy than she has ever had. If you want to see the results of my products you can type the following into your address bar ( results44.com ) If you would like to have more energy or take off some extra weight you can e-mail me and I will e-mail back to you my phone number. You can get healthy and stay healthy if you really want to.

What does liberal mean? Here is the dictionary definition. a. Open-minded, tolerant. b. Favoring civil and political liberties, democratic reforms and protection from arbitrary authority. 2.a. Tending to give freely; generous. Synonyms: liberal, bounteous, buntiful, freehanded, generous, handsome, munificent, openhanded.
Antonyms: Stingy B. Abundant; ample. 3. Not strict or literal, approximate. Of or based on the traditional arts and sciences of a college or university curriculum. Noun,A person with liberal ideas or opinions.
I submit that liberals of today do not know how to think clearly. Here are my reasons; 1. Virtually every economics class in our colleges teaches that you cannot borrow yourself into prosperity. Modern liberals are completely ignoring this fact. 2. In the true meaning of liberalism, one is tolerant of other people's ideas. When the liberals got hold of congress in 2008 they would not even let the Republicans bring any amendments to the floor for a vote. Also, the Republicans were not allowed in any of the meetings regarding health care. 3. The modern liberal believes it is O.K. for someone to get something for nothing. Just go back to the 60's and read writings of the liberals of the time and you will find none of that thinking. Even as liberal as Clinton was he still signed the welfare to work program into law. If liberals could think properly, they would be working to keep our population off the welfare roles and creating an environment where hard work and perserverence paid off.
When any legislation puts in jeopardy our right to private property, our right to privacy, and endangers our pursuit of happiness, the proponents of the legislation are not thinking clearly. "Obamacare" was found unconstitutional on the basis of "the citizen cannot be forced by government to buy anything. Many unions and others have been given an exemption. Anybody ever here of the 14th amendment to the constitution "equal treatment under the law' If that amendment would be in force, anyone who wanted an exemption could have one. Some people just don't know how to think.

My fellow Americans. This is a tongue in cheek message.
There is no way I could be serious in posting what I am going to post here.
However, the following suggestions would make U.S. Social Security Viable forever.
1. Take the warning labels off of all dangerous products
1a. Allow no lawsuits for the damages resulting from removing warning labels.
2. Use the power of the government to encourage people to smoke cigarettes and use other tobacco products:
2 a. Do not treat anyone for lung cancer caused by smoking.
2b, Do not treat anyone for cancers of the mouth, brain or other cancers caused by tobacco use.
3. Abolish seat belt laws
3a. Do not treat anyone for injuries caused by them not using seat belts
4. Abolish motorcycle helmet laws
4a. Do not treat anyone for injuries caused by people not wearing a helmet when riding their motorcycle
5. Raise the speed limit on all federal highways to 90mph.
5a. Do not treat anyone for injuries caused by automobile accidents that happen at speeds above 55mph
6. Accidents that are caused by pure stupidity are to be deemed the fault of the person who was in the accident.
6a. Do not treat anyone for injuries caused by their own stupidity.
6b. Allow no law suits against anyone owning any company, corporation, or property when the person involved
in a self inflicted injury due to their own stupidity.
7. Illicit drug use:
7a. Do not treat anyone for injuries or other life threatening situations caused by the use of any drug that has
been outlawed, like heroine, cocaine, methamphetamines and any other illicit substance.
8. Where signs exist like "enter at your own risk" or "do not go beyond this point",
"access denied", "no diving from
this bridge" etc. etc. etc.
8a. If a people ignore the signs, do not rescue this person or persons
If we let all these people die their untimely deaths, then the smart, careful and prudent will survive but there will be a lot fewer
people to take care of after the age of 65.
I realize that there will be a lot of people who will hate me for the above suggestions, but if there is anyone out there that can
suggest a really good method for solving our Social Security crisis then let them speak up and write their congressional representatives.

This poem was written to honor the WWII Pursuit Squadron number 99. made up of all black American pilots who were trained in separate facilities because at the time the army air corps was segregated.
"The Tuskegee Airmen"
Early in the year of nineteen forty one Congress passed a bill And set into motion the Army Air Corps forming a group of men
All young black men trained in Alabama to fly fighter planes Pursuit Squadron ninety nine, was what they were back then
They set out to prove they could be as good as any of the pilots Who flew combat aircraft just like their white skinned brothers
The obstacles they faced were more than could be expected there With pride in their country they fought side by side with others
They flew their dog fight missions in Europe’s war torn sky And never shirked their duty, not even in the slightest way
Success was truly theirs as a part of a gallant fighter wing Though they lost some of their own their bravery was to stay
P fifty ones and forty sevens protected the bomber wings Over the dangerous skies of Europe they all bravely flew
Guarding the lives of those who had slighted them The bomber pilots, their aircraft and their crew
Up in the sky above the war torn earth they climbed To out maneuver the German pilots that they fought
Proving themselves every mission against the very best The Luftwaffe had, it was always a victory they sought
Though it would have been easier to have given up Not one sign of cowardess did any of them ever show
It was predicted that they would turn from the battle But instead they gave the enemy a very decisive blow
So my friends, let us give them the honor they deserve For the service they gave to us in the skies over there
We have the privilege now to give back to those airmen The appreciation they have coming from we who care
And for those who gave the full measure of devotion To a country filled with prejudice but a future grand
We say thank you for your gallantry in both battles And we are so eternally grateful that you took a stand
And stood up for America when America needed you most Took all the slander and overcame the blatant hate
By proving to all naysayers that you could do anything Anyone else could do, and above all, do it really great

Gallows humor poem
At the gallows the hangman stood With his hand on the piece of wood The trap door below that it releases Is of simple design it has two pieces
And the hangman recites a simple verse For the criminal to hear he did rehearse His words would ring in the criminal’s ear He spoke loudly enough for all to hear “You did the crime for which you knew That this is what would happen to you And now you’re here at this destination So we complete the task without hesitation”
He pulled the handle and dropped the dope And the criminal fell to the end of his rope
How’s that for "poetic" justice
