<description><![CDATA[During this time of the year, when tourists are flocking to Florida, traffic can be quite congested on our highways, not to mention fast. Although the posted speed limit is 45mph for the highway in front of our office, motorists frequently exceed the limit (loudly I might add). Like any local government these days, our county has to tighten its belts, particularly the sheriff's office which has been experiencing budget cuts.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[America used to be called "one nation under God." That was from the day of its founding until now! We won World War II and the Korean Conflict and our troops came home with parades of victory. The Vietnam War lasted 13 years. There was no victory.

<description><![CDATA[All people who care for loved ones should learn to outlast the storms in an emergency and survivalist situation, especially if you are stuck in the city. For example, when the power goes out for just a couple hours, you merely feel the pinch of a minor discomfort from your modern day amenities. Yet, when hours turn into days of rolling blackouts through town, like in California just awhile back, you realize just how thin the boundary is between today and a hundred years ago. Now take a major national emergency, and see how much chaos could ensue. That is why those with the correct skills will outlive their neighbors who rely on the GPS. Here we will touch on the field methods for survival in a hostile urban situation.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The Evolution of Society, is a representation of how Human Beings, having been raised by those that take the responsibility upon themselves to teach their charges by example the meaning of responsibility, out of respect, as well as problem solving, and discipline which is essential for them to understand that life has to have a balance that is tempered by accomplishments as well as failures as a result of us learning from our mistakes. Each of these characteristics are also subject to dealing with illnesses such as cancer as well as a wide variety of dysfunctional family issues, and surviving the elements while at the same time being hit in the face with the harsh realities that death brings to someone very close to them which often times touches them in a way that they may never be able to recover from such a trauma. It is the effectiveness of how one can respond to that trauma that determines their ability to recover by putting these issues into their proper perspective, and begin to regain control over their lives' within a minimal time span with the least disruption in their daily routine.]]></description>

All too often I see that in other countries they don't have that.

<description><![CDATA[It's not necessary to have met someone or be personally connected to someone in order to be influenced and inspired by that someone. But it is necessary for each of us to be influenced and inspired by someone; someone whose values you can respect, admire and strive to imitate. To thousands of people young and old, students, teachers, parents and coaches - many of whom never even met the coach - Joe Paterno was such a role model and inspiration. Some may find that curious. But for those that felt that connection, JoePa offered them a standard of excellence and an example of life values that they could aspire to and live by. We all need such a standard.]]></description>

Communism strikes fear into the minds of most Westernized societies, believing that the labours of the hardest workers will benefit those who barely work at all, and all will lose any sense of control over their lives. "Socialized medicine" is a politically volatile label designed to frighten those who don't understand its main purpose, which is that everyone should receive the health care they need, and no more, and no one should be plunged into poverty and ruin through healthcare costs.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[There is no definite definition of a Late Term Abortion. We will use it as being a termination of pregnancy that occurs after the 24th week of pregnancy. With today's modern medications and highly advanced surgical techniques and medical equipment, performing Late Terminations of Pregnancy are very safe.

The Court will hear oral arguments regarding the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) in late March of this year. In a previous article, I explained why I do not believe that the two justices, Thomas and Kagan who are receiving public pressure to not participate in this case, will exercise recusal. Therefore, let's assume that there will be nine justices hearing this landmark case. Now, let's see if we can logically predict how they will vote on this weighty matter.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Recently we are hearing in the media that our economy is out of balance. What is often meant is that the current economic structure favors a very small proportion of the rich over the rest of us. However, out of balance can have also a different interpretation. It reminds me of an analogy that the Belgian Nobel price winner, the late Ilya Prigogine, once told me...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[If you have not heard about it or seen for yourself, the Arkansas Lottery now has vending machines. Vending machines that require the use of one's ID in order to proceed with your purchase. You must be 18 to play the lottery and your ID is supposed to serve as proof of your age. This new technology has sparked an idea in my head that I am sure will be controversial but then again it would not be me if it did not. I will get to that in the second part of my rant. I decided to send my 16 year old armed with my driver's license, to see if he was able to score a lottery ticket.]]></description>

The rhetoric and propaganda circulating the world about the upcoming attack on Iran is at an all-time high. A simple Google News search for 'Israel Iran war' will produce over 3,700 results. The proponents of the New World Order have been working tirelessly to ensure that the Israel / American coalition attack Iran sooner rather than later.

Are we so blind, that with all of the money being spent on discovering unique diets for every guru generated idea, that we truly expect that a show produced to attract, entertain, and engage an audience would want to drop a bomb on its viewers, without offering some sort of cushion to the landing? Perhaps we should check our personal belief system's before we judge, for I am more amazed that people may feel surprised that the style of cooking used by Paula Deen, is contrary to most modern teachings about healthy living. There is a God, I am told He is in Heaven, not on TV, sorry Paula!]]></description>

Merits come into mind and that inspires one to work hard and strive for the best. On the contrary, one's effort almost doesn't count here. Malaysia is 54 years old and I suppose it is unfair to expect too much of this country. Injustice is rampant here but the country is not devoid of good-deed doers - still, the scale of justice weighs heavily towards inequity. Nepotism and cronyism are part and parcel of being human but are inherent to an average Malaysian to a greater degree.]]></description>

We have allowed ourselves to become so utterly distracted by "toys" (should I make a list?) that we no longer give a thought to reality. Like children with some sort of exotic learning disability we "trust" that Mom and Dad will take care of everything. Well guess what people? We live in a very dysfunctional family and Mom is out shopping on Xanax and Dad is out robbing a gas station and looking to get laid. Let's wake up!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[My philosophy tends to be that behind every mountain of mythology lies a molehill of reality. It's just a matter of trying to figure out what that hidden needle-in-a-haystack reality might be without access to the actual needle. Take the case of angels. I think a better reality would have them as angelic extraterrestrials relative to the mythological 'winged' entities that really aren't represented as such (winged, that is) in the Bible and similar texts.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[We have many rights of citizenship that are not always available to citizens in countries around the globe. These rights have often been earned at great expense to us. Iraq is one country where Democracy is interpreted differently, as I have witnessed by being here for a number of years. The new leadership is undecided as to what degree of democracy they will legislate. I believe a true democracy should allow freedom of religion which I don't see yet.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Government and religion are connected through the law of the land; some practice law to manipulate the masses while others seek justice. Western civilization is distinguished by three different types of legal systems directly related to the three religions: Christian, Jewish and Muslim. Christian adhere to Roman Law based in the adversary tradition of the Roman games - to the victor goes the spoils. According to Rome, Might is right, but both the Jewish and Muslim traditions focus on truth.]]></description>

<title>2011: A Year of Revolutionary Change</title>

<description><![CDATA[2011 will go down as the year of revolution. From the Arab Spring to the Occupy Movement, revolution worldwide has been the story of the year. We have seen on the higher end politicians in gridlock with each other not getting anything done while corporations take advantage of this inaction to further their own greedy goals. Meanwhile with governments doing nothing, the people have risen up to fight. The beginning of a new era is upon us as the rallying cry for change has spread across the world; what Barack Obama once claimed as 'Yes we can' has morphed into a worldwide slogan of 'Yes we will'.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Pakistan has rejected the US Central Command's (CENTCOM) investigation into the NATO strike that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers at Salala border outpost on Nov 26, 2011. Further damaging the already tenuous relationship between the two countries and would potentially create serious negative repercussions for the international forces that need to continue Operation Enduring Freedom. Considering the present tension, Obama administration should take a major policy shift towards Pakistan and immediately repair this frail but very crucial relationship to secure lasting peace in the region.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The title to this article has probably struck some interests. It's very easy to put someone in a box and label it stupid. It may sound like something only 4th graders would do, but that's incorrect. In every facet of life we're constantly judging people based on a set of standard rules. How does he look? What does she say? We're quick to draw conclusions about these matters but in these strings of text I'll attempt to deepen your opinions about this matter and help you understand the truth about so called dumb people.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Aliens, 'ancient astronauts' or perhaps the ancient Egyptian 'gods' (really extraterrestrials) may have helped inspire the building of the Egyptian pyramids (like God inspires the building of cathedrals), but it was your basic human blood, sweat and tears that did the actual construction despite all the hardships. Here are some thoughts on why we have to pat ourselves on the back and not the backs of aliens for these impressive structures, one of which is the last one standing of the seven original ancient wonders of the world. *One common theme in creation mythology is that the 'gods'...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[President Obama and his cadre of advisors, consultants and czars, undoubtedly are honest and devoted Americans, with only the noblest and patriotic of objectives - as the US faces critical economic and military exigencies for both America and the world. From performance realities of the first three years of the Obama presidency (especially for the first two years, when Democrats controlled both Houses of Congress, with power to pass any bill desired), significant past actions and results - thus facts - may permit extrapolation, with reason and logic, to analyze emerging, highly-critical situations for our country.]]></description>

<title>Writing a Thank You Letter - A Lost Task of Our Youth</title>

<description><![CDATA[For those close relatives of children and teens, grandparents, aunts, Uncles, cousins, God-parents, and neighbors, the chances of you receiving a "thank you" letter through the mail, are very small. You may get a verbal, email, or a text message offering appreciation of the gifts they received at Christmas or other special times in the child's or teen's life, but rarely a letter to you received through your mail box. Is this a lost social and polite practice of our youth? Who is to blame--technology, parents or our "lazy" children, or all?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Have you ever clicked on a website only to be greeted by some annoying pop up ad or subscribe request? Somehow some webmasters think it's a cool way to get their message in your face. You can almost see the grin of inspiration as he rubs his hands together before scripting in the abominable code. He sits back with a self satisfied smirk as he imagines a web surfer opening the web page, the ad pops up and the surfer smiles and says "how cool is that?"]]></description>
