Crying For Our Children

I went to these sites and they were very mind-effecting and felt I needed to spread the word. So please don't pass on reading the links that go with this post... Thank-You!
RealVoices;"Click on "A Mothers Tears;"to view our TV spot. If you had a minute to say anything you wanted to George W. Bush in front of thousands of American voters, what would you say? Chastise him for his foolish military adventure in Iraq? Scold him for domestic policies that hurt average Americans while enriching the few? Or just urge him to be honest with the American people for a change? We think about that question a lot, We regard the war in Iraq to be George Bush's greatest betrayal of the American people. It has greatly increased the risk of terrorism, damaged our international prestige, and caused the greatest losses to individual families. American democracy: a chance to be the real citizens of America... The ones George Bush prays you won't hear... A platform to talk back to the President, in front of thousands of American voters. Democracy doesn't get any simpler or more direct than that. And all we need to make it work is you. Ask: George W. Bush? What? 50,000 voters want to know! "

Just Like To Thank Mr. Bush

"Thanks a lot, you've been successful in making politics a dirty word, there has been an endless stream of lying, hate-spewing right-wing messengers. There was Mr. Gingrich. It takes a real man to cheat on a wife fighting cancer. I'm really not pro-abortion, I'm pro-choice. Let the woman explain it to God. She may have a good reason. How about old Rush? Isn't he a great example for all young kids that happen to see or read the news? What do these kids think when they hear their parents glorifying him? Let's hope that none of them have memories or actually think that what he does or says can be considered as the right thing to do, or the right way to think or be. All you that vote that way because of the tax breaks that Bush has given you, well, you have given that back many times with the 75 cents per gallon more for gas that you have been paying at the pump. I personally don't think that making the fat cats fatter will ever trickle down to a single one of you. I think that good-paying jobs, workplace safety and health benefits should be more of a priority. Unions have given us higher paying jobs, better benefits and safer workplaces. This is not an area that the Bush supports. If you want to keep your good paying job or ever hope to get one, then you better start supporting the party that supports unionizing."

I posted this because, I feel something needs to be done to stop this war!! And if it takes something like this to do it then so be it!

Prisoners break out of jail using towel rope

Rio De Janeiro; "50 prisoners have escaped from jail using a rope made of sheets and towels in the city's second mass breakout in four days. Prisoners of the jail made a hole in the ceiling of the cellblock and used a rope to climb the wall of the jail before dawn on Sunday. Officials at the penitentiary suspected guards had been paid to turn a blind eye as the wall was not staffed during the escape. Corruption is widespread in Brazilian prisons as guards are poorly paid, while powerful drug gangs often use money and intimidation to free their comrades."
Well aren't we glad that our President spends so much of our tax-payers money, to build so many prisons.. Hell the way our country is heading now... Soon...We'll all be working at a prison, some where...Or living in one, as their won't be much hope in anything else...But...Crime or cheaply paid-Guard Duty!!

Killer Denied Makeup In Jail

sfgate;" Australia- Prison officials Thursday rejected a mass murderer's application to be allowed to wear makeup while serving his 30-year sentence. The ruling came after secret negotiations between Paul Denyer and prison officials. Denyer-31, was convicted of stabbing and strangling three young women during a three-week killing spree in Melbourne in 1993. Since being imprisoned 11 years ago, he has made headlines by asking for a sex change and demanding the right to wear makeup. His request for a sex change was also rejected."
Well if you ask me..Why would I or anyone else want to give him anything after what he did? Also He killed 3-women! Why would he want to become one, let alone wear make-up. This man is sick in my view I'm sorry!

Cemetery Puts in Artificial Turf

Calif;" Sunset Hills Memorial Park cemetery is giving up grass in favor of artificial turf. It's a move owners believe will save as much as $180,000 in water and maintenance costs over the next three years. The cemetery is the final resting place for cowboy stars Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. "I actually believe it will revolutionize the cemetery industry eventually," said Sunset Hills co-owner. He knows of no other cemetery that uses artificial turf. Artificial grass has several benefits besides saving money on water and maintenance costs. The most important thing for a cemetery is to look good at all times, to look beautiful inside."
Tell me, What is beautiful about... Plastic Grass ? I don't know if I like the ideal of going to a cemetery and everything is fake! So what if it cost money to water, mow and make the grass look nice! That why they charge us so much in the first place isn't it? So I wonder how much $money$, they will slap on the cost to the poor families, of the people they lay to rest in their -Plastic grounds....Huh?
