Subject: Fwd: Secret Service Perspective
A book about the Secret Service is out and it reveals an awful lot about the Presidents and Vice-Presidents...very interesting...recap thus far:
JFK and LBJ = Philanderers of the highest order. Both kept a lot of women in White House for affairs. Both set up "early warning" systems for if and when their wives were nearby. Totally immoral men. In addition, LBJ was as crude as the day is long. (I heard this about him when he was in office...filth through and through.)
Nixon = Weird, moral man but very odd and weird. Paranoid etc. Horrible relationship with his family, almost a recluse.
Agnew = Nice decent man, everyone was surprised at his downfall.
Ford = A true gentlemen who treated them with respect and dignity
Jimmy Carter = A complete phony who would portray one picture of himself to public and very different in private, i.e., would be shown carrying his own luggage, suit cases were always empty, he kept empty ones just for photo ops. Wanted the people to see him as pious and a non drinker, he and family drank alcohol a lot. Had disdain for the Secret Service, and was very irresponsible with the "football" nuclear codes. Didn't think it was a big deal and would keep military aides at a great distance. Would never acknowledge military or Secret service that were there to serve him.
Ronald Reagan = The real deal. Moral, honest, respectful and dignified. Treated Secret Service and everyone else with respect and honor. Would always thank everyone all the time. He took the time to know everyone on a personal level. One story early on in Presidency the President came out of his room with a side arm attached to his hip. The Agent in charge said "Why the pistol Mr. President?" Ronald Reagan replied, "In case you boys can't get the job done, I can help." It was common for him to carry a pistol. People do not know that when he met with Gorbachev, he had a pistol in his briefcase. Upon learning that Gary Hart was caught with Donna Rice during the election Ronald Reagan said, "Boys will be boys, but boys will not be President."
Nancy Reagan = Very nice but very protective of the President..the Secret Service was always caught in the middle. Nancy would try to control what the President ate all the time (healthy) and he would say to the Agents "come on you gotta help me out." The Reagans rarely drank alcohol. Secret Service said they could count on one hand the times the Reagans were served alcohol other than wine during dinner. They made the comment for all the fake bluster of the Carters - it was the Reagans who lived life as genuinely moral people.
George and Barbara Bush = Extremely kind and considerate. Always respectful. Took great care in making sure the agents comforts were taken care of. They would bring them meals etc. One time Barbara Bush brought warm clothes to agents standing outside at Kennebunkport. One agent who was given a warm hat tried to nicely say no thanks when he was obviously freezing and President Bush said "Son, don't argue with the first lady, put the hat on."
Bill Clinton = Presidency was one giant party. Not trustworthy, he was nice because he wanted everyone to like him but life is just one big game and party to him.
Hillary Clinton = Another phony. Personality would change the instant cameras were near. She hated with open disdain the military and Secret Service. Again another one who felt people are there to serve her. She was always trying to keep tabs on Bill Clinton.
Al Gore = An egotistical ASS who was once overheard by his Secret Service detail when he told his son he needed to do better in school or he "would end up like these guys" and pointed to the agents.
G W Bush = They loved him and Laura Bush. They said no one is a nicer person than Laura Bush who never has a harsh word to say about anyone. The Bushes went out of their way to take care of the Secret Service and made sure they were well cared for with meals and other comforts. GW was the most prompt of the Presidents. He ran like a well-oiled machine. He was also the most in shape who had a very strict work out regimen. The Bushes made sure their entire administration understood to respect and be considerate of the Secret Service.
Barack Obama - Clintons over again - hates the military and looks down on the Secret Service.
And, there you have it.

FW- Islam inm a nutshell Thanks Bob Looney!
Subject: Fwd: Islam in a nutshell
I had seen the top half of this before (Islamic actions within a country based on percentages of population) but not the bottom half: a list of specific reasons that it is impossible for a good Muslim to also be a good American (conflict of ideals in multiple aspects of life.)
Subject: Islam in a nutshell - Things you need to know
This is how it works ... do not doubt it.
Islam in a nutshell - Some things you need to know. As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will, for the most part, be regarded as a peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens. This is the case in:
United States Muslim 0.6%
Australia Muslim 1.5%
Canada Muslim 1.9%
China Muslim 1.8%
Italy Muslim 1.5%
Norway Muslim 1.8%
________________________________
At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs.
This is happening in:
Denmark Muslim 2%
Germany Muslim 3.7%
United Kingdom Muslim 2.7%
Spain Muslim 4%
Thailand Muslim 4.6%
________________________________
From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. For example, they will push for the introduction of Halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature Halal on their shelves -- along with threats for failure to comply.
This is occurring in:
France Muslim 8%
Philippines Muslim 5%
Sweden Muslim 5%
Switzerland Muslim 4.3%
The Netherlands Muslim 5.5%
Trinidad & Tobago Muslim 5.8%
At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law over the entire world.
_________________________________
When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. In Paris, we are already seeing car-burning's. ANY non-Muslim action offends Islam and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam, with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam. Such tensions are seen daily, particularly in Muslim sections in:
Guyana Muslim 10%
India Muslim 13.4%
Israel Muslim 16%
Kenya Muslim 10%
Russia Muslim 15%
_________________________________
After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burning of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues, such as in:
Ethiopia Muslim 32.8%
_________________________________
At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare, such as in:
Bosnia Muslim 40%
Chad Muslim 53.1%
Lebanon Muslim 59.7%
_________________________________
From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels, such as in:
Albania Muslim 70%
Malaysia Muslim 60.4%
Qatar Muslim 77.5%
Sudan Muslim 70%
_________________________________
After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out the infidels, and move toward 100% Muslim, such as has been experienced, and in some ways is on-going in:
Bangladesh Muslim 83%
Egypt Muslim 90%
Gaza Muslim 98.7%
Indonesia Muslim 86.1%
Iran Muslim 98%
Iraq Muslim 97%
Jordan Muslim 92%
Morocco Muslim 98.7%
Pakistan Muslim 97%
Palestine Muslim 99%
Syria Muslim 90%
Tajikistan Muslim 90%
Turkey Muslim 99.8%
United Arab Emirates Muslim 96%
_________________________________
100% will usher in the peace of 'Dar-es-Salaam' -- the Islamic House of Peace. Here there's supposed to be peace, because everybody is a Muslim, the Madrasah's are the only schools, and the Koran is the only Word, such as in:
Afghanistan Muslim 100%
Saudi Arabia Muslim 100%
Somalia Muslim 100%
Yemen Muslim 100%
_________________________________
Unfortunately, peace is never achieved, as in these 100% states the most radical Muslims intimidate and spew hatred, and satisfy their blood lust by killing less radical Muslims, for a variety of reasons.
"Before I was nine, I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; the tribe against the world, and all of us against the infidel." -- Leon Uris, 'The Haj'
It is important to understand that in some countries, with well under 100% Muslim populations, such as France, the minority Muslim populations live in ghettos, within which they are 100% Muslim, and within which they live by Sharia Law. The national police do not even enter these ghettos. There are no national courts, nor schools, nor non-Muslim religious facilities. In such situations, Muslims do not integrate into the community at large. The children attend madrasah's. They learn only the Koran. To even associate with an infidel is a crime punishable with death. Therefore, in some areas of certain nations, Muslim Imams and extremists exercise more power than the national average would indicate.
Today's 1.5 billion Muslims make up 22% of the world's population. But their birth rates dwarf the birth rates of Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, and all other believers. Muslims will exceed 50% of the world's population by the end of this century.
Well guess what boys and girls, today we are letting the fox guard the hen house. And soon the wolves, will be herding the sheep!
Obama appoints two devout Muslims to Homeland Security posts. Don't you feel safer already?
Obama and Janet Napolitano appoint Arif Alikhan, a devout Muslim, as Assistant Secretary for Policy Development.
DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano swore in Kareem Shora, a devout Muslim who was born in Damascus, Syria, as ADC National Executive Director as a member of the Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC).
NOTE: Has anyone ever heard a new government official being identified as a devout Catholic, a devout Jew or a devout Protestant? Just asking...
Devout Muslims being appointed to critical positions?
Was it not "Devout Muslim Men" that flew planes into U.S. buildings 10 years ago?!
Was it not a Devout Muslim who killed 13 at Fort Hood?!
Also: This is very interesting and we all need to read it from start to finish. Maybe this is why our American Muslims are so quiet and not speaking out about these atrocities?!
Can a good Muslim be a good American? This question was forwarded to a friend who worked in Saudi Arabia for 20 years. The following is his reply:
Theologically? No! Because his allegiance is to Allah, The moon God of Arabia.
Religiously? No! Because no other religion is accepted by his Allah except Islam. (Quran, 2:256)(Koran)
Scripturally? No! Because his allegiance is to the five Pillars of Islam and the Quran.
Geographically? No! Because his allegiance is to Mecca, to which he turns in prayer five times a day.
Socially? No! Because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews.
Politically? No! Because he must submit to the mullahs (spiritual leaders), who teach annihilation of Israel and destruction of America, "The Great Satan".
Domestically? No! Because he is instructed to marry four women and beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him. (Quran 4:34)
Intellectually? No! Because he cannot accept the American Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be corrupt.
Philosophically? No! Because Islam, Muhammad, and the Quran do not allow freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Islam cannot co-exist. Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic.
Spiritually? No! Because when we declare "One nation under God", our Judeo/Christian God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred to as Heavenly Father, nor is he ever called "Love" in The Quran's 99 excellent names.
Therefore, after much study and deliberation, perhaps we should be very suspicious because obviously, they cannot be both "good" Muslims AND "good" Americans!
Call it what you wish, it's still the truth, and we'd better start believing it, and waking up to that fact!
The more we understand this, the better it will be for our country and our future. This religious war is bigger than we know or understand.
Can a Muslim be a good soldier in our armed forces? Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, opened fire at Ft. Hood and killed 13 -- because he was a devout Muslim! And the Muslims have always said they will destroy us from within.
I had seen the top half of this before (Islamic actions within a country based on percentages of population) but not the bottom half: a list of specific reasons that it is impossible for a good Muslim to also be a good American (conflict of ideals in multiple aspects of life.)

Economist's predictions Thanks Judi cole!
just passing this on.... thought you might be interested in his opinions. while you find others items of more interest.
Judi
Thanks Judi,
I suspect a strong liberal political bias by this economist. I would enjoy seeing somebody like Cavuto of Fox News afternoons rebut a few of these points.
Sam
just passing this on.... thought you might be interested in his opinions. while you find others items of more interest, I highlighted some with red.
Note Well the following observations.
The World You Live In
We are all affected by socio-economic trends in our careers and personal lives. At the recent annual meeting in Savannah, GA, economist Brian Beaulieu presented a 2.5-hour whirlwind tour of the forces shaping the world in which we live.
Beaulieu’s views have appeared in The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Barron’s, Reuters and Forbes, among other outlets. He is chief economist for Vistage International, a global organization comprised of 14,000+ CEOs. He and his twin brother Alan currently have a show, “Make Your Move,” on VoiceAmerica Business Channel.
The summary of highlights that follows, in Beaulieu’s big picture, is a blend of research-based facts and trends, plus predictions and opinions. You won’t agree with every opinion and prediction here — the old saying, “You can put economists end-to-end around the world and they’ll never reach an agreement” — but Beaulieu’s breadth of trends reporting is worthwhile and impressive.
Check out the Institute for Trend Research (ITR®), where Beaulieu is CEO, at www.itreconomics.com — Ted
1 — Buy agriculture commodity stocks.
2 — Our earth has a billion more people to feed.
3 — Be prepared for weather disruptions in the next 10-15 years worse than anything in the past 20 years.
4 — Long-term: look for a Great Depression between 2030-2040. You’ll likely be on the sidelines, but your kids…
5 — Short-term: Not another recession until 2013-14, and it won’t be nearly as bad as the last one.
6 — President Obama will be re-elected in 2012, due to good, positive economic conditions and weak GOP opposition.
7 — Japan’s industrial production is dying.
8 — Who’s afraid of China? The U.S. out-manufactures China on an everyday basis. Outsourced manufacturing is returning to the U.S. Strengthening the U.S. manufacturing base is a question of will, not ability.
9 — Pay no mind to Chinese economic data. No one does. It has no credibility.
10 — China faces a looming demographic crisis. China and the U.S. have roughly the same land mass. But China has four times the population of the U.S. China will not overtake the U.S. as the world’s number one economic power. It lacks mineral wealth. China will be a consistent number two. We should stop looking over our shoulder for China coming up from behind. It ain’t going to happen.
11 — Waiting on India: Conditions are ripe for India to become a stronger world economic power. Infrastructure is the number one problem facing the country. India has been poised to break out for 20 years.
12 — A lack of mobility exists in the U.S. workforce. There are 13 million unemployed, with three million job openings that can’t be filled. People cannot up and move to where the jobs are due in part to the lousy housing market. They can’t sell their homes.
13 — Mining is and will be one of the U.S. economy’s stronger sectors.
14 — U.S. manufacturing produces only moderate job increases. A lack of skilled workers exists. Also, there exists a preference to employ machines over people.
15 — Unemployment will remain high. In 2014, look for the unemployment rate to be at 7.4 percent. Barriers to lowering unemployment: lack of workforce mobility; lack of workforce skills; the U.S. government has incentivized people not to work. It pays people not to work.
16 — Federal budget cuts will not be draconian. Any cut is met with the question: What is this going to do to jobs? Cuts hurt jobs. Politicians need to stay in office. They will not inflict severe budget cuts.
17 — Both Democrat and GOP deficit reduction plans are based on the assumption that the U.S. economy will grow at a 5.0 percent clip from 2010-2019. Since World War 2, average Gross Domestic Policy (GDP) has been 3.3 percent. Current deficit reduction plans on both sides of the aisle ain’t gonna happen.
18 — Current U.S. federal government spending outlays: #1 Social Security; #2 Non-discretionary spending; #3 Defense; #4 Medicare; #5 Net interest; #6 All other entitlements; #7 Medicaid; #8 Obamacare subsidies; #9 Iraq and Afghanistan.
19 — Healthcare in the scheme of overall federal spending is not a big number.
20 — 80 percent of healthcare costs are incurred in the last two years of life.
21 — The definition of “fair” in U.S. healthcare spending is not equal opportunity but equal outcomes.
22 — It’s not about politics, about Dems or the GOP. The biggest factor influencing economic policy today is the times we live in.
23 — There is no credit crunch in 2011. Cash is sloshing all around. Main Street bankers (not Wall Street) want to loan money, but regulators sitting in their lobby restrain them. Need a loan? Be persistent. Ask 21 times for a loan. Shop around. The average is to ask for a loan only four times, and then give up.
24 — Corporate balance sheets look good. They are very clean.
25 — An economically realistic price for a barrel of oil is $97. The price could reach $140-$150 in 2013. Any price north of $130 will make consumer consumption difficult. At that price point consumers must make choices about how to consume oil.
26 — Natural gas is the best bet for U.S. energy independence. Natural gas = electricity generation. If one-third of the U.S. population drove hybrid autos or diesel-powered vehicles, we wouldn’t need Saudi oil. We wouldn’t need the Middle East. Energy independence is within our grasp. But independence comes at a premium price most of us cannot afford.
27 — Look outside of the U.S. for your stock choices. Foreign firms or global U.S. firms with more than 50 percent of their revenue coming from sales outside of the U.S. Bonds will be going down in value.
28 — It will be an inflationary world in the next 20 years. Winners will be those countries wealthy in natural resources. Canada and Brazil, for instance. Australia and New Zealand.
29 — The U.S. economy is currently running on six of eight cylinders. Residential and non-residential construction is still down and out. But the recovery is better than the last one in 2004. Businesses are investing. The restaurant business is coming back. Hotel, motels and lodging business is rebounding. Consumers are spending again.
30 — Invest in eye care and bladder care healthcare companies. Demographics favor these kinds of healthcare businesses.
31 — We possess three-year memories. After a three-year period we tend to forget experiences. The Great Recession ended in 2009. By mid-2012 it will be out of mind. It will no longer be a behavioral determinant.
32 — Invest in residential real estate. New housing starts are as dead as a doornail. Existing homes and apartments are where 130 million new Americans by 2050 will live.
33 — Population winners and losers at the state level: Biggest gains — Texas, North Carolina, Arizona, Georgia, and Florida; Biggest losses — Michigan, New York, Ohio, Idaho, and New Jersey.
34 — The low-cost global labor pool will move to Africa from Asia.
35 — Pot shops are making a comeback, have you noticed? So, too, record album turntables and long-playing (LP) vinyl records. Life, like the economy and the seasons, is cyclical, not a non-stop linear progression. Currently, Baby Boomers are nostalgic for the 1960s, and their kids are curious about the decade’s zeitgeist.

12 — A lack of mobility exists in the U.S. workforce. There are 13 million unemployed, with three million job openings that can’t be filled. People cannot up and move to where the jobs are due in part to the lousy housing market. They can’t sell their homes.
13 — Mining is and will be one of the U.S. economy’s stronger sectors.
14 — U.S. manufacturing produces only moderate job increases. A lack of skilled workers exists. Also, there exists a preference to employ machines over people.
15 — Unemployment will remain high. In 2014, look for the unemployment rate to be at 7.4 percent. Barriers to lowering unemployment: lack of workforce mobility; lack of workforce skills; the U.S. government has incentivized people not to work. It pays people not to work.
16 — Federal budget cuts will not be draconian. Any cut is met with the question: What is this going to do to jobs? Cuts hurt jobs. Politicians need to stay in office. They will not inflict severe budget cuts.
17 — Both Democrat and GOP deficit reduction plans are based on the assumption that the U.S. economy will grow at a 5.0 percent clip from 2010-2019. Since World War 2, average Gross Domestic Policy (GDP) has been 3.3 percent. Current deficit reduction plans on both sides of the aisle ain’t gonna happen.
18 — Current U.S. federal government spending outlays: #1 Social Security; #2 Non-discretionary spending; #3 Defense; #4 Medicare; #5 Net interest; #6 All other entitlements; #7 Medicaid; #8 Obamacare subsidies; #9 Iraq and Afghanistan.
19 — Healthcare in the scheme of overall federal spending is not a big number.
20 — 80 percent of healthcare costs are incurred in the last two years of life.
21 — The definition of “fair” in U.S. healthcare spending is not equal opportunity but equal outcomes.
22 — It’s not about politics, about Dems or the GOP. The biggest factor influencing economic policy today is the times we live in.
23 — There is no credit crunch in 2011. Cash is sloshing all around. Main Street bankers (not Wall Street) want to loan money, but regulators sitting in their lobby restrain them. Need a loan? Be persistent. Ask 21 times for a loan. Shop around. The average is to ask for a loan only four times, and then give up.
24 — Corporate balance sheets look good. They are very clean.
25 — An economically realistic price for a barrel of oil is $97. The price could reach $140-$150 in 2013. Any price north of $130 will make consumer consumption difficult. At that price point consumers must make choices about how to consume oil.
26 — Natural gas is the best bet for U.S. energy independence. Natural gas = electricity generation. If one-third of the U.S. population drove hybrid autos or diesel-powered vehicles, we wouldn’t need Saudi oil. We wouldn’t need the Middle East. Energy independence is within our grasp. But independence comes at a premium price most of us cannot afford.
27 — Look outside of the U.S. for your stock choices. Foreign firms or global U.S. firms with more than 50 percent of their revenue coming from sales outside of the U.S. Bonds will be going down in value.
28 — It will be an inflationary world in the next 20 years. Winners will be those countries wealthy in natural resources. Canada and Brazil, for instance. Australia and New Zealand.
29 — The U.S. economy is currently running on six of eight cylinders. Residential and non-residential construction is still down and out. But the recovery is better than the last one in 2004. Businesses are investing. The restaurant business is coming back. Hotel, motels and lodging business is rebounding. Consumers are spending again.
30 — Invest in eye care and bladder care healthcare companies. Demographics favor these kinds of healthcare businesses.
31 — We possess three-year memories. After a three-year period we tend to forget experiences. The Great Recession ended in 2009. By mid-2012 it will be out of mind. It will no longer be a behavioral determinant.
32 — Invest in residential real estate. New housing starts are as dead as a doornail. Existing homes and apartments are where 130 million new Americans by 2050 will live.
33 — Population winners and losers at the state level: Biggest gains — Texas, North Carolina, Arizona, Georgia, and Florida; Biggest losses — Michigan, New York, Ohio, Idaho, and New Jersey.
34 — The low-cost global labor pool will move to Africa from Asia.
35 — Pot shops are making a comeback, have you noticed? So, too, record album turntables and long-playing (LP) vinyl records. Life, like the economy and the seasons, is cyclical, not a non-stop linear progression. Currently, Baby Boomers are nostalgic for the 1960s, and their kids are curious about the decade’s zeitgeist.

Thanks Judi,
I suspect a strong liberal political bias by this economist. I would enjoy seeing somebody like Cavuto of Fox News afternoons rebut a few of these points.
Sam
just passing this on.... thought you might be interested in his opinions. while you find others items of more interest, I highlighted some with red.
Note Well the following observations.
The World You Live In
We are all affected by socio-economic trends in our careers and personal lives. At the recent annual meeting in Savannah, GA, economist Brian Beaulieu presented a 2.5-hour whirlwind tour of the forces shaping the world in which we live.
Beaulieu’s views have appeared in The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Barron’s, Reuters and Forbes, among other outlets. He is chief economist for Vistage International, a global organization comprised of 14,000+ CEOs. He and his twin brother Alan currently have a show, “Make Your Move,” on VoiceAmerica Business Channel.
The summary of highlights that follows, in Beaulieu’s big picture, is a blend of research-based facts and trends, plus predictions and opinions. You won’t agree with every opinion and prediction here — the old saying, “You can put economists end-to-end around the world and they’ll never reach an agreement” — but Beaulieu’s breadth of trends reporting is worthwhile and impressive.

1 — Buy agriculture commodity stocks.
2 — Our earth has a billion more people to feed.
3 — Be prepared for weather disruptions in the next 10-15 years worse than anything in the past 20 years.
4 — Long-term: look for a Great Depression between 2030-2040. You’ll likely be on the sidelines, but your kids…
5 — Short-term: Not another recession until 2013-14, and it won’t be nearly as bad as the last one.
6 — President Obama will be re-elected in 2012, due to good, positive economic conditions and weak GOP opposition.
7 — Japan’s industrial production is dying.
8 — Who’s afraid of China? The U.S. out-manufactures China on an everyday basis. Outsourced manufacturing is returning to the U.S. Strengthening the U.S. manufacturing base is a question of will, not ability.
9 — Pay no mind to Chinese economic data. No one does. It has no credibility.
10 — China faces a looming demographic crisis. China and the U.S. have roughly the same land mass. But China has four times the population of the U.S. China will not overtake the U.S. as the world’s number one economic power. It lacks mineral wealth. China will be a consistent number two. We should stop looking over our shoulder for China coming up from behind. It ain’t going to happen.

Heaven or hell... Thanks Carol & Clay!
A Holy man was having a conversation with the Lord one day and said, 'Lord, I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like.'
The Lord led the holy man to two doors.
He opened one of the doors and the holy man looked in.
In the middle of the room was a large round table..
In the middle of the table was a large pot of stew,
which smelled delicious and made the holy man's mouth water.
The people sitting around the table were thin and sickly.
They appeared to be famished. They were holding spoons with very long handles that were strapped to their arms and each found it possible to reach into the pot of stew and take a spoonful.
But because the handle was longer than their arms, they could not get the spoons back into their mouths.
The holy man shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering.
The Lord said, 'You have seen Hell. They went to the next room and opened the door. It was exactly the same as the first one.
There was the large round table with the large pot of stew which made the holy man's mouth water.
The people were equipped with the same long-handled spoons, but here the people were well nourished and plump, laughing and talking.
The holy man said, 'I don't understand.
'It is simple,' said the Lord. 'It requires but one skill...
You see, they have learned to feed each other.
The greedy think only of themselves.'
When Jesus died on the cross, he was thinking of you.
Its estimated 93% won't forward this.
If you are one of the 7% who will, forward this with the title '7%' .
I'm in the 7%
Remember that
I will always share my spoon with you.

Gun owners like this... Thanks good Denison friend!
An Arizona Department of Safety Officer pulled over pick-up truck owner
for a faulty taillight. When the officer approached the driver, the man
behind the wheel handed the officer his driver’s license, insurance
card and concealed carry permit.
The officer took all the documents, looked them over and said. "Mr.
Smith, I see you have a CCP. Do you have any weapons with you?"
The driver replied, " Yes sir, I have a 357 handgun in a hip holster, a
.45 in the glove box and a .22 derringer in my boot."
The officer looked at the driver and asked, "Anything else?"
"Yes sir, I have a Mossberg 500 12 gauge and an AR-15 in the trunk."
The officer asked if the man was driving to or from a shooting range
and the man said he wasn't, so the officer bent over and looked into the
driver's face and said "Mr. Smith, you're are carrying quite a few
guns. May I ask what you are afraid of?
Mr. Smith locked eyes with the officer and calmly answered, "Not a damn
thing!"
