Don't forget, but forgive? What does that mean? An eye for an eye? A tooth for a tooth?
Forgiveness is the hardest thing to do I think. We all want to be treated nicely and lovingly by others and want to be forgiven for our wrongdoing, but some just can't cross that line of forgiving others. Why?
Forgiveness is the most hard thing to give. But it is the nicest thing to receive. When as a child we did things wrongfully, we wanted our parents to forgive us. When we steal, cheat or sometimes even kill we want forgiveness even if we do not want to get caught. So then why is it so hard to forgive others?
What is forgiveness my people? Should someone who raped your loved one be forgiven? What about taking away something from you that can never be replaced, like murder?
I think we all have something that we would like to be forgiven for, maybe something so terrible that we don't want anyone to ever find out about. So should we ask for forgiveness to the one we wronged? What if it will get you into trouble? Like lose your job, wife or put doubt into the minds of others who think you are so perfect? What if you have to go to jail or prison?
Do you think forgiveness is what we all need to do at such a time with the financial crisis, political deception, dishonesty, and greed?
Forgiveness means to stop being angry or resentful against about a particular issue. Do you think if you forgive someone about a particular issue right now you could eliminate resentment, hurt, pain or sorrow? It is very difficult to give forgiveness yet it is a greater gift to give than receive.
Maybe we all should forgive each other. Stop the blaming for a while and think about our world that we live in as a whole.
There is a part of us that can forget anything we want to forget. Do you think it is because of the person you chose to forget whatever their actions were? I hear all the time that people soon forget. Is that really true then? Forgetting something is advancing slowly, but surely.
We all need to give forgiveness for our future's sake and advance to forgetting our disappointments, pain, hurt, and greed. There is always a tomorrow and we should work to make sure that tomorrow is worthwhile getting to.
My people, lets stop blaming and forgive. It is the best gift one can give.

Is Obama giving what he promised?
I think Obama is a great president. Some or almost all of what he is doing will pay off. But I do not think it will happen anytime in the near future. Some may get work and even be able to afford to buy a home. But those who already lost their jobs and homes and their credit is destroyed may never get back to where they used to be about a year ago. Is there a plan to help them?
Lets be patient and do our part to help build up our economy again. This doesn't mean that we should all go out and buy things that we don't need. Buy only your basic needs. Eat out as a treat only and not because your next door neighbors are. Get by with one car if you can. Invest in the stock market only if you have extra cash, etc, etc.
Obama said during his campaign that McCain wanted to help only the rich with tax cuts for them. But in a sense Obama has done just that giving billions of dollars to the banks and big businesses who have kept it for themselves. Why are banks not passing it out in loans? Is it because they are not sure of what could happen? But wasn't the money given to them to keep the economy going by loaning it out? Why can't the government make them do what they are supposed to do with those billions of dollars? Did Obama make fun of McCain saying that the money will not trickle down and that Washington was very corrupted with major problems with greed? Why does Obama need to make any new programs to help homeowners get loans and save their homes? We the taxpayers already loaned out billions to banks to turn the foreclosure problems around or were the billions for the big banks to capitalize on our money? It makes one wonder whether Obama knew that the billions of dollars would not make it down to Main Street. Did he?
What about offshore jobs that Obama promised he would bring back into our country? Now he is saying that those jobs are low paying jobs that Americans wouldn't want anyway and for the sake of our relationship with other countries they should stay overseas. Is he talking out of both ends of his month? Did he say things that he did not intend to do just to get into the White House? I am sure there are many Americans who will gladly accept those jobs.
Is there some truth to what McCain said? What about when Obama said people should stop complaining and if they want to they should come up with a plan? Oh well, but they are not the president. They are not the ones who made all of those promises.
I strongly believe that good will come out of Obama's being the president at such a time. Keep telling him what you think and feel and remind him of his promises. We will get there somehow.
I am for our president one hundred percent and will do my part to help bring our economy back to a much better place than it was. But going out and spending what you do not have is dumb and plain stupid.

AIG paid out $218 million in bonuses, not $165 million
AIG paid out $218 million
Are you surprised to learned that AIG paid out $218 million in bonuses to top executives, not $165 million as we were originally told? I'm not. Maybe they even paid out much more than we will never find out. And the White House and the Treasury Department did not know about this either? If they knew and did not say or do anything about it or if they didn't know, my people, we are still at the same place with corruption that is melting our country's trust to nothing.
AIG's CEO was worried about his executive's safety and did not mention the $53 million more that they got. Is he worried about the safety of the millions who lost everything because of AIG executive's greed and recklessness that caused so many lives to change for the rest of their lives? I don't think so. I think everyone who took part in this should be made known to the world. After all, this impacted not just the USA, but so many other countries.
Do you think that going after these executives is throwing attention away from the main problem? Maybe, but these greedy lower life forms have made hell out of so many lives without any remorse, and a bit of discomfort in theirs is only fair. Maybe if they're exposed they will try to get an honest job and make an honest living like millions of others.
Is it your duty to turn these crooks into celebrities? Think about what you and your loved ones are going thought right now, and how much debt these people have put your unborn grand and great grandchildren into. Do you know that those executive's grand and great grandchildren will live comfortably why yours will have to struggle?
What happened here will make your descendants much poorer my people. Think about it.
Where is the trust? Should we believe anything we are told? Should we...?
Obama said on Jay Leno's show that what they did is not illegal. What if someone went into a grocery store and brought something with the assistance of the store clerk and the clerk knew that the product was defective, but sold it anyway hoping to get by without your ever finding out? Is that stealing?

What's Morally Wrong with Homosexuality-- newer version
This is very interesting. It makes some very good points.
Stem cells ups and downs!!!
I am so happy that we are moving in the direction of using stem cell research to help save lives, but I am very afraid that someone will make or is right now making human clones using this same technology. Don't be surprised when this pops up because it will my people. Nadia the octa-mom wanted lots of children. She used modern science (embryos) and got what she wanted.
Some crazy out there wants to have an identical twin and will do just that or at least try.
We will see.

Did the White House know about the AIG bonuses?
The White House and the Treasury Secretary claim that until last week they did not know about AIG's plan to give away millions in bonuses. Is that true? I was under the impression that since they got the bailout money AIG was being closely monitored. Or did I get it wrong? If the White House and Treasury Secretary really didn't know does that mean we are in a much bigger mess by giving them so much money and we don't really know how it is being spent? What about Freddy Mac, Freddie Mae, Morgan Stanley and Bank of America? They did not know about them either? Do you think big companies like those are too hard to monitor and will continue to get away with major stuff that is damaging to our nation?
Obama has his eyes on the ball, but he needs all the help he can get. If Madoff got away with stealing millions for over thirty years, let me tell you there are others who are doing the same thing right now that might not get caught either. Please investigate carefully before putting your money into any stock company. You really don't know if it is a real company or a fraud. Can you truly know?
What about Obama doing too much at one time? I think a President should be able to do more than one thing at the same time. That shows leadership, don't you think so? Do you think that all what he is doing is related? I do. He can't fix one without fixing the other because they all depend on each other in some ways. Most of what he is doing will show effect in the long run, but those who already lost everything will still be without because their credit has been destroyed for a long, long time or even for the rest of their lives.
Our President is doing a good job. Lets keep giving our opinion. Tell him just how we feel. He said he will listen and that is a good thing. We might get half way up the ladder.
It will be more assuring if all of the other crooks who worked along in the dark with Madoff are caught. My people, they are out there living a very high life on the sweat and hard work of others. If you know of anyone, turn them in. Please.

Judge Andrew Puccinelli, what does Hughes have on you?
(Here is more on the subject of the previous post.)
Even Aaron Hughes' ex-wife does not want him out. What reputation as a police officer are they referring to? This man is one of the most corrupt law enforcement police officers in the country. He steals and lets friends off for major crimes just like the one he is accused of himself.
I guess the victim's family's well being and feelings do not count.
And he can leave Elko County with permission.
Judge Andrew Puccinelli, what does Hughes have on you? I am sure he has lots on others around there.
Washington needs to look into the Elko justice system.

Aaron Hughes released from jail
Well, it looks like the fix is in.
The good old boy network in Elko County is alive and well. This is no excuse for letting this man out of jail so easily given what he has been charged with. If that were you or I in that same situation they would have thrown us in jail and thrown away the key. But in the case of Hughes, he probably knows too much and they have to go easy on him to keep him from ratting on everybody else in that corrupt Elko County justice system.
The citizens of the Elko area need to be outraged over this. It's as bad or worse than the bailouts and million dollar bonuses that the fat cats on Wall Street are getting.
Hughes released on bail
Former Elko police captain Aaron Hughes was released from jail Friday after posting bail reduced by more than half earlier in the week.
He faces charges of incest and producing child pornography, as well as an unrelated grand larceny charge. He was being held on $500,000 bail but Elko District Judge Andrew Puccinelli reduced that to $200,000 on Tuesday.
