Blinkers and Round-abouts

What ever happened to people using blinkers? They help with other drivers know where the hell you are heading since some people seem not to know where they are going anyways. It takes two seconds!



Do people understand how to drive on round-abouts? YOU YIELD TO YOUR LEFT!!!!!!!! If there is nothing coming to your left, GO! I don't understand what is so hard about understanding that concept but it must be a challenge for a lot of people!

What Happened?


What happened to the American People? I am disappointed. We are letting people and Government Agencies walk all over us! What happen to freedom of speech, what happen to using it? Standing up for what is right?

I hear people say, well when we vote our votes don't count so why should I? BECAUSE, this country was founded on majority rules. If more people vote for the stupid one, then we get the stupid one! Same thing goes with the people. If all the "smart" people just sit back, then the people that are voting will count as a majority rule. 

If you don't like something, or don't agree with it, talk about it. Let other people know, they may feel the same way. We are not standing up and being heard anymore and we are being ran over! United We Stand, does that ring a bell, Divided we fall, how about that one?

I don't know about you but I am tired of being pushed and shoved around and I know that I have a megaphone for a mouth, and I know how to use it!


I must say!

I know a lot of people are not into the stock market as well as many people are also. Once thing that I must say is, I do not agree with the Government body being into our markets.

The Government owns the majority of General Motors. In my point of view, Government body should stay government. They are here to protect the shell of the country. When they start trying to be us and living like us is where I believe we start in on the corruption of within the Government. They move their focus from protection to making that dollar. They should let us worry about making that dollar and then worry about getting part of that dollar from us. I fear that could lower attention in other needed sectors.

Another thing that I keep thinking about, as it won't leave my mind, that is the Patriot Act. Below is some of the new law:


"The Act increases the ability of law enforcement agencies to search telephone, e-mail communications, medical, financial, and other records; eases restrictions on foreign intelligence gathering within the United States; expands the Secretary of the Treasury’s authority to regulate financial transactions, particularly those involving foreign individuals and entities; and broadens the discretion of law enforcement and immigration authorities in detaining and deporting immigrants suspected of terrorism-related acts. The act also expands the definition of terrorism to include domestic terrorism, thus enlarging the number of activities to which the USA PATRIOT Act’s expanded law enforcement powers can be applied.
The Act was passed by wide margins in both houses of Congress and was supported by members of both the Republican and Democratic parties. Opponents of the law have criticized its authorization of indefinite detentions of immigrants; searches through which law enforcement officers search a home or business without the owner’s or the occupant’s permission or knowledge; the expanded use of National Security Letters, which allows the FBI to search telephone, e-mail, and financial records without a court order; and the expanded access of law enforcement agencies to business records, including library and financial records. Since its passage, several legal challenges have been brought against the act, and Federal courts have ruled that a number of provisions are unconstitutional."

Is this really helping us or will it hurt us more? 
I guess big brother is really trying to move in!

Missouri: The Show Me State
DESCRIPTION
RANK OUT OF USA

Highest Tax Revenue
Rank: #19

Expenditure Rank

*These Census figures are how Missouri compares with other US States. 


My Outlook:
Missouri has the potential of being able to profit:  $53,660,997.00 from using this system! Is Missouri's state budget that healthy that we do not need an extra $53 million? 


Why can't we take that $53 Million and put $25 Million towards home health care is Missouri and take the other $28 Million and put towards our education system? Oh, let me think about this, our education system don't need any revenue either, right?

Our Children are the key to the future, we are going to have to depend on them to see that our future is protected! Why wouldn't we want to educate them? Give them a better head start, more of a chance!

Think about EVERYTHING before judging!

 

Can Medical Marijuana kill You?

I get asked a lot about can "medical" marijuana kill you, look at the information below and see how bad it really is!

The following are the annual causes of death in the USA:

Cause                                                                    Deaths
Tobacco                                                               435,000
Poor Diet and Physical Inactivity                            365,000
Alcohol                                                                   85,000
Microbial Agents                                                     75,000
Toxic Agents                                                           55,000
Motor Vehicle Crashes                                            26,347
Adverse Reactions to Prescription Drugs                  32,000
Suicide                                                                     30,622
Incidents Involving Firearms                                      29,000
Homicide                                                                  20,308
Sexual Behaviors                                                       20,000
All Illicit Drug Use, Direct and Indirect                       17,000
Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs                       7,600
    - Such As Aspirin
Marijuana                                                                          0

But marijuana still has a bad reputation with many people and alcohol is accepted in most societies. This may be due to the fact that most people refer to marijuana as a drug and alchol not as a drug.

It has never been proven that anyone has died as a direct result of using marijuana.
