CHRISTIANITY
CHINA
CAPITALISM
With 5,000-6,000 years of proven history and communism taking its hold in 1949, China must be talked about in terms of our jobs and our economy. You may be for or against the U.S.A. reaching out to China and hosting a formal dinner that some say was long overdue and others feel there is no need for the formality. Can we afford to ignore such a massive country in terms of population, sheer size, political and economic power? A country that some say owns a piece of the U.S.A. on paper. Analysts say China needs the U.S.A. more than the U.S.A needs China. At the end of the day both countries seem to be in need of one another no matter the degree of need. China isn’t going anywhere and yes many of their government practices go against our core beliefs.
An extremely strange and unlikely phenomenon has been taking place in China. It has been a long time coming since the Cultural Revolution of China in the mid 1960′s and the massacre at Tiananmen Square in 1989. China’s focus has always been on business and ways to stay in the game earning profits. China can’t afford economic mistakes given its population of over 1.3 billion people on a planet that holds approximately 6.7 billion total. China carries 20% of the world’s population. China is slowly opening its doors to bits and pieces of Christianity. It may not be that those in control are for Christianity in their hearts, though we can’t say, but they acknowledge the positive influence Christianity has on their economy. The more they loosen the restraints on Christianity the more the country prospers & we can attest to China’s most recent growth spurt toward the number two spot of economic world powers. China’s people are responding more favorably once converting to Christianity and more people are coming out of the closet with their Christianity. Some list China’s main religions or beliefs as Atheism, Buddhism, Shenism-Taoism, Islam, Confucianism, Catholicism, & Protestantism. Many argue which ones are more popular but most would agree that China’s government has pursued and encouraged Atheism with great fervor.
HAS CHINA COME TO THE REALIZATION THAT CHRISTIANITY IS GOOD FOR CAPITALISM?
China is moving further away from Communism for over thirty years. It is a slow but steady process. The motivation behind the change is rooted in job and economic growth. So while it may not be pure its happening and perhaps purity will follow the economic effects. Don’t make the mistake of thinking Christians are welcomed in every corner of this massive land. There is still a great deal of persecution against Christians and other religions though some would argue the validity of this allegation. We allow the missionaries we know personally to tell their stories. The stories speak of persecution being alive and well. Some statistics indicate more people are behind bars in China for their faith than in any other country.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
-
It is reported that three or more people are forbidden from gathering for religious sake without prior government approval.
-
Churches and other places of worship remain unregistered and thus illegal in China because to register your place of worship means the government controls what you do, who does it and how they do it.
-
It is illegal to educate a person under the age of 18 about God/Jesus.
-
The torture that many endure is unspeakable in the attempt by police to convince their captives to turn in others.
Many churches remain underground with “look-outs” in the event of raids that result in torture and murder, which are common. The worshipers are often told to “keep it down” when their excitement builds for their faith. There are Christians in China who have a very different account of their ability to practice their faith arguing there are no issues. Jim Mingri, a pastor of the Zion Church is one of them. He is proof that things are changing in China and that not everyone’s experience is the same. Did the Chinese government formally request the 700 Club appoint Christian ministers to spread the Gospel? We don’t know the specifics. So if you ever wonder why Christians in the U.S.A fight so hard for their right to practice, its because every religion, belief system, race, or classification of people is closer to losing their rights and freedoms as we know it because we live with a false sense of security. We fail to realize that a single catastrophic act or occurrence or subtle and gradual opinions can alter the way the country and world look at you. You can fall out of or in favor in a single day. 911 is a perfect example of an immediate shift in reaction toward Islam while Sikh followers were also targeted out of ignorance for the differences in attire. We are all susceptible. What we fight for in this country is what we fight for in every country for every person.
http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/stories/china_705/interview/extended.html The word underground is being replaced with independent.
We take much for granted in the USA, including those of us who choose not to worship. We have the freedom to attend or not attend a church, a synagogue or any place of worship for a wedding, a funeral or a social gathering of any kind at your leisure. How many people who don’t practice a religion have had the luxury and freedom of attending a church because of an affair or event inolving a friend, family member or co-worker? Keep in mind many faiths are under persecution in China. As we look at the economy of America we MUST look at the economy of the world and other leading nations. Our jobs are effected by jobs overseas and vice versa. We can’t ignore their existence any more than they can ignore ours. How do we work side by side with a nation so different than ours politically and socially? Is it even feasible? Should it be attempted?
Perhaps closing the door on China would also be like closing the door on the Christians and Capitalists of China. China is more than just its government. Its 1.3 billion people who we can guarantee aren’t just vying for the number two position. They won’t stop climbing until they reach number one. When you witness someone you don’t care for (because their ethics differ from yours) climbing the ladder toward CEO in your company or some other powerful position, do you ignore them or do you strive to bridge the gap because that person will influence your livelihood? Your voice must be heard because it is crucial to your survival & the company’s survival. We witnessed what happens in the court room to the companies who hire and promote executives who are unethical while ruling with arrogance and an unyielding iron fist. Is China changing?

TEN OF THE FASTEST GROWING INDUSTRIES FOR 2011
As we enter 2011 and close out 2010, we have to continue looking ahead and striving for more financial security as individuals, families, communities, states, as a nation and across the globe as a whole. It was not just the U.S.A. that experienced an economic down turn. Since all aspects of business trade are intertwined internationally in some shape or form, we have to consider our international neighbors around the world.
PHYSICAL, OCCUPATIONAL, SPEECH and MUSIC THERAPY: Music Therapy is one of the latest growing types of therapies that are offering scholarships. Its been shown to reduce stress, expedite healing and in some cases it has reduced the need for chemical medication.
HOME HEALTH AIDES & PERSONAL AND HOME CARE AIDES: As our society becomes more health conscious, we are living longer. As a result of extending our life expectancy, we are experiencing degenerative ailments we’ve not see in large numbers in the last century until recently. Aging people are being provided more options in insurance policies for long term and short term care and with those policies may come the option of seeking elder assistance in the comfort of your home as opposed to being admitted to a nursing home or rehabilitation facility.
ENGINEERS: There will always be a need for engineers as technology is for ever changing with monumental advancements in every industry with special focus on environmental issues as of late.
NETWORK SYSTEMS AND DATA COMMUNICATIONS ANALYSTS: This will continue to be a growing industry. It is best to remain flexible with regard to international relocation.
LANGUAGE: View the trends and learn which languages may be beneficial over the next ten to twenty years. Certainly Spanish, any one or more of the major Middle Eastern languages, Chinese dialects, the more popular Eastern Indian, African, and European languages could be beneficial. The more languages you can learn earlier on in life, the more marketable you will be. This is one of the questions that is asked on many applications now. It could make all the difference in you getting a call for an interview or your application being tossed in a pile with countless other applications. This is something for parents to think about too while being actively involved in their child’s education. It is easier to learn one or more languages during your early developmental stages than when you reach adulthood.
PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS: These two occupations are expected to be in demand for some time. Quality is of utmost importance in this field too.
ACCOUNTANTS AND AUDITORS: This is a field that has remained steady in its growth over the years. Bookkeeping is another aspect of this industry.
DENTAL SPECIALISTS: Because of the rise of cosmetic surgery, fields like this are growing tremendously.
OPTHOMOLOGY, OPTOMETRY SPECIALISTS: This is and has been a growing field as well and is always in need.
WASTE MANAGEMENT/DISPOSAL: As we run out of space, and our population continues to grow waste disposal will always be a necessity throughout the world.
INTERNET HOSTING AND PUBLISHING: This industry isn’t likely to go anywhere but up in need and usage as the majority of us have entered the electronic age for much of our communication, information, transactions and more.
SECURITY GUARDS: Security is increasing at nearly every work place especially since this country experienced a terrorist attack nearly a decade ago. Homeland Security has also sparked more localized security.

WHAT IS A LIBERTARIAN?
“If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair.” C. S. Lewis
We have blogged a little about the Tea Party, Democratic Party, Republican Party, Green Party & now the Libertarian Party. As stated previously, politics effect health care, business, education, recruiting, marketing, economics & unemployment.
DID YOU KNOW WOMEN WERE GRANTED THE RIGHT TO VOTE IN 1920 AFTER A LONG BATTLE IN THE U.S.A.?
LIBERTARIAN: THE PARTY of PRINCIPLE (Smaller Government * Lower Taxes * More Freedom)
Libertarians believe in a multi dimensional political view (as opposed to liberal vs. conservative). Libertarians support the guiding principle of “mutual respect for rights”. In other words, Person (A) has control over his own life until that control infringes upon Person (B)’s ability to control Person (B)’s own life.
Below statements are courtesy of Wikipedia:
“…The Libertarian Party is a United States political party founded on December 11, 1971.[1] In the 30 states where voters can register by party there are over 225,000 voters registered with the Libertarian Party, making it the third largest of America’s parties.[2] Hundreds of Libertarian candidates have been elected or appointed to public office, and thousands have run for office under the Libertarian banner.[3]
The political platform of the Libertarian Party reflects that group’s particular brand of libertarianism, favoring minimally regulated, laissez-faire markets, strong civil liberties, minimally regulated migration across borders, and non-interventionism in foreign policy that respects freedom of trade and travel to all foreign countries…”[4]
FAMOUS LIBERTARIANS: Dean Koontz, Ray Bradbury, Clint Eastwood, Bruce Willis and Green Day’s front man, Billie Joe Armstrong (for more celebrities click here: http://ucllibertarians.com/celebrities.html)

WHAT IS THE TEA PARTY?
Let us not look back in anger, nor forward in fear, but around in awareness. James Thurber

WE WILL SPOTLIGHT VARIOUS POLITICAL PARTIES AS THIS IS THE FINAL STAGE TO REGISTER TO VOTE. WE WILL NOT TOUCH ON THEM ALL, BUT WE WILL TRY TO ADDRESS THOSE THAT ARE POPULAR OR ARE GAINING INTEREST.
Please remain respectful in your commentary as we encourage you to share your knowledge & opinions with us and our readers in this and future blogs.

KNOWLEDGE & WISDOM ARE KEY FACTORS IN ALL DECISIONS. We never suggest jumping onto just any band wagon merely based on popularity or to maintain a status quo throughout the generations. Become as familiar as you can with the overtones and more importantly the UNDERTONES of any group, organization, or club. Investigate, read & learn because you owe it to yourself and the group you are considering joining.
TEA PARTY: “A community committed to standing together, shoulder to shoulder, to protect our country and the Constitution upon which we were founded!” (http://teapartypatriots.ning.com/). “The name “Tea Party” is a reference to the Boston Tea Party, whose principal aim was to protest taxation without representation.[4][5] Tea Party protests have sought to evoke images, slogans and themes from the American Revolution, such as tri-corner hats and yellow Gadsden “Don’t Tread on Me” flags.[2][6] The letters T-E-A have been used by some protesters to form the backronym “Taxed Enough Already” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_Party_protests)
“The Tea Party protests are a series of protests across the United States beginning in early 2009; see List of Tea Party protests, 2009. The protests are part of a nascent, larger anti-tax political movement called the Tea Party movement.” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_Party_protests)
“ In 2009, the modern Tea Party movement got underway shortly after President Barack Obama took office and he and House Democrats subsequently passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 without a single Republican vote. The stimulus act became law in February…” http://usconservatives.about.com/od/glossaryterms/a/Tea-Party.htm
“A new grassroots phenomenon is sweeping the nation — Tax Day Tea Parties. One of the leading sponsoring organizations, the American Family Association (AFA), has announced on its website that AFA TEA (Taxed Enough Already) Party Day rallies on April 15 are now scheduled in 1,837 cities. Meanwhile, the originators of the Tax Day Tea Party concept at taxdayteaparty.com list hundreds of Tea Parties scheduled for April 15…” http://thenewamerican.com/usnews/election/974
THE ORIGINAL TEA PARTY
“What events led up to the First Continental Congress?
On March 5, 1770, waterfront workers attacked 9 British soldiers who fired, killing 5 colonists…
The Sugar Act of 1764, first of a series of taxes by Parliament, was placed on sugar, coffee, and wines imported by the colonies…”
The 1765 Stamp Act placed duties on nearly every kind of document, from newspapers to legal papers…
In 1767, the Townshend Acts imposed several taxes…
What was the purpose of a Committee of Correspondence? http://www.ushistory.org/carpentershall/history/faq.htm
What events led up to the Boston Tea Party?http://www.ushistory.org/carpentershall/history/faq.htm
Also in 1773, Parliament granted a monopoly on tea shipments to the East India Company, then nearly bankrupt. The Company, which did business only with Loyalist merchants, undercut other merchants, even smugglers. John Hancock, one of the country’s richest men and most threatened by the new tea policy, helped instigate the Boston Tea Party (December 17) when 150 men, dressed as Mohawk Indians, dumped the tea cargo of three ships into Boston harbor. The East India Company was holding a seven-year surplus of tea from India and could be financially ruined if it was not sold.
Why was a general assembly of the colonies called? http://www.ushistory.org/carpentershall/history/faq.htm
In 1774, as a consequence of the Tea Party, Parliament passed a series of bills defending the remaining tea tax of the Townshend Acts, closed the port of Boston and nullified the charter of Massachusetts.”…
What is the true story of Paul Revere’s ride? http://www.ushistory.org/carpentershall/history/faq.htm
On April 18, 1775, 700 British troops crossed the Charles River and marched toward Concord, hoping to cut off the rebellion before it started by capturing guns and powder stored there. Two lights in the steeple of North Church in Boston alerted Paul Revere and Billy Dawes…”
Remember clubs & organizations don’t want to attract unstable or temporary (flip-flop) members anymore than you want to be aligned with a group that fails to represent the majority of your thoughts, interests or beliefs. No one is perfect and no organization is perfect. If you are seeking perfection, it is unrealistic because you will not find it. Assure that any group or organization is appealing to your passions, whether it is based in faith, a hobby, a sport, a profession, a political party, etc.

911 SOLEMN REMINDERS
The reminder of September 11, 2001 should be easier to handle as time passes. Typically this is how it works in the healing process. One of the largest more recent sores that was beginning to form a scab was ripped off again and salt and bleach were poured directly into the wound that we know all too well as 911. As a result the nation is further polarized and accusations are flying wildly. How do we unify a nation that houses representatives and members from every race, religion, nationality, culture, creed, political affiliation and economic class? We don’t know but we do know that anything short of freedom is not an option. How do we proactively work toward identifying “the enemy” without clumping millions of innocent people into that same category? There are an array of opinions and perspectives. Do we have sufficient skills and resources to identify extremists from non-extremists and everyone in between? It is confusing and this country has been dealing with this age old problem throughout history. WHERE, HOW & WHEN do we draw the lines? The key is to follow the principles & standards this country was based on. This is easier said than done for large numbers of the U.S. population, since this is the same population that can’t agree on the notion that the U.S.A. is founded on Christian principles and standards. Back to square one…
Here are some solemn statistics of 911 in 2001 in the event anyone questions why numerous Americans are having a difficult time moving beyond this attack which resulted in multiple murders, destruction and lives being changed forever. It is the reason we are witnessing protests across the nation.
At least 2,998 people died. this includes the 19 known terrorists. Other statistics say the number is currently 3,497 people.
There were 5 terrorists on three of the four planes (the two planes that crashed into the Twin Towers and the plane that struck the Pentagon). There were 4 terrorists on the plane full of courageous passengers that brought it down in pure sacrifice in Shanksville, PA. 87, 60, 59, & 41 were the number of passengers on each perspective plane. We are not counting the terrorists as passengers. Other statistics may vary slightly.
343 New York Fire Dept. firefighters + paramedics
60 NYPD officers & Port Authority officers
1,402 occupants in Tower One
614 occupants in Tower Two
3,051 children lost one or both parents that day. 327 of the people murdered were from 53 other countries or nations. America lost the most lives obviously. The United Kingdom lost 67, South Korea lost 28, Canada lost 27, Japan lost 26, Columbia lost 17, Jamaica, Mexico & the Philippines lost 16 each, and Australia & Germany lost 11 people.
None of these statistics account for the number of people who lost limbs, eye sight, hearing, massive amounts of skin from severe burns, permanent lung damage… You get the picture. These numbers also don’t address the psychological and emotional damage which fuels the nightmares, anxiety attacks, paralyzing panic and simply renders otherwise productive and active people dysfunctional from day to day. There are the thousands of workers who saw sights we cannot imagine. They did not even find whole bodies, day after day, week after week and month after month. This is just a sliver of the chunk of America’s heart that was left at Ground Zero, Shanksville and the Pentagon.
Don’t forget the World Trade Center was bombed by terrorists on February 26, 1993 when a truck containing explosives drove into the lower level garage of the North Tower. Six people were killed and approximately 300 people were injured. Rick Rescorla, Vice President of Security for Morgan-Stanley/Dean-Witter was aware of the vulnerability of the World Trade Center Towers prior to the 1993 and 2001 terrorist attacks. He was an American hero originally from England and we had the pleasure of benefiting from his skills until his death in the 911 attacks. His preparedness saved hundreds of lives. http://www.rickrescorla.com/
We also want to recognize and thank Betty Ong for going against protocol. It was her actions & ability to remain calm that helped us to identify this as a terrorist act instead of a terrible accident. She was a flight attendant of the first plane. Thank you to all of the heroes.
Two trillion in damages and counting… http://www.iags.org/costof911.html

HAPPY LABOR DAY WEEKEND AMERICA
Carry the battle to them. Don’t let them bring it to you. Put them on the defensive and don’t ever apologize for anything.
Harry S. Truman
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? JOIN OUR DISCUSSION
Well we are already here. Our first Monday in the month of September. End of summer, start of football season or is it more than that?
WHEN WAS THE FIRST LABOR DAY?
1882 on September 5th in New York City organized by Peter J. McGuire (carpenter) as a march/parade from City Hall to Union Square then on to Reservoir Park for a picnic. The event included 10,000 workers and their families.
WHEN WAS LABOR DAY FORMALLY ESTABLISHED?
1894
WHAT MADE IT OFFICIAL?
Labor Day became official based on the events surrounding the PULLMAN STRIKE of 1894 during Grover Cleveland’s administration (The 22nd and the 24th President of the United States, which makes him the only president to have been elected to office twice but not in back to back presidential terms. He is also noted for being the only Democrat elected to office during the lengthy reign of a Republican majority between 1860 to 1912. Cleveland was a conservative in that he was not an advocate for inflation, subsidies for businesses, farmers or even veterans, pricey tariffs, or imperialism ).
WHAT WAS THE PULLMAN STRIKE?
The Pullman Strike was a political battle between the railroads and the labor unions which started in Pullman Illinois. A company by the name of the Pullman Palace Car Co. suffered a strike of three thousand of its employees because of drastic reductions in wages. You have to understand that rail cars were the most popular mode of travel back then so traffic flow was adversely effected. Anything West of Chicago did not move. Eugene Debs was the head of the American Railway Union that represented approximately 250,000 workers in 27 states. President Cleveland sent federal troops and marshals to shut down striking because of its ill effects on the nation. From a legal standpoint President Cleveland said it was affecting the U.S. Postal Service’s ability to deliver mail. He was thereby justified in sending troops. 13 union workers were killed and fifty seven were injured. Six thousand members of the union were involved and caused about $350,000.00 worth of damage (nearly nine million today).
WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LABOR DAY?
When it was first established nationally, a parade was to take place following a festival to honor, encourage and celebrate the American spirit of trade and labor organizations. Some question the political cleansing attempt on the part of President Cleveland given that it was passed six days after the Pullman strike ended and many of his cabinet members did not believe the president had the right to unleash 12,000 army troops and marshals to the scene.
WHAT IS LABOR SUNDAY?
Labor Sunday is the Sunday before Labor Day. It was established in 1909 to highlight the spiritual and educational elements of Labor Day as it relates to the Bible.
WHAT IS THIS OTHER LABOR DAY – MAY 1ST?
This is an international holiday recognized and celebrated by about eighty countries. It is also known as the International Workers’ Day or May Day. It focuses on labor unions specifically. It marks the 1886 Haymarket Massacre of Chicago on May 4th. It started out as a rally for striking workers who were pushing for an eight hour work day. Someone threw a bomb at police while police were trying to break up the rally. Police retaliated with gunfire. Eight officers were killed. The majority were killed by “friendly fire”. To this day it is unknown how many civilians were killed. Eight men were tried. Four were convicted and executed and one man committed suicide in prison. Please take special note that the prosecution was convinced that none of the eight defendants were involved in throwing the bomb.
We so often get caught up in thinking the era we live in is the most volatile, the most corrupt as every generation wishes for the “old days” when matters were simpler, people were kinder, and there was a niceness in the air. Let this be a lesson and a strong reminder to all of us that corruption and suspicion of corruption go back long before any one of us was born. There is much more to many of these stories, but we don’t want to make the blog an entire American history lesson. Illegal searches were conducted and freedom of speech was squashed during this time.
Perhaps we need to look a little more carefully at Labor Day and its true meaning from all perspectives. Some of us recall May Day when we were children, but that is a holiday that has gone by the way side for the most part in this country.
I HEAR GOOD & BAD THINGS ABOUT UNIONS:
Many people believe unions to be useless today. Many people take for granted the working conditions they have today and are unaware that those limited hours, pay, vacation time, sick time, and other benefits were as a result of labor unions fighting and its members dying for improved working conditions. Nothing is a given in this world unless you understand its history and continue to demand that it remain on the “books”. Some form of American unions have been around since the start of this country.
WHATS THE BIG DEAL ABOUT CHILD LABOR LAWS?
Unions were instrumental in establishing child labor laws. Most of us are too young to know of a time when children as young as three years of age were put to work for twelve hour days, no school, and were working in conditions that most adults could not survive in. The Industrial Revolution sparked the need for even more children working in small, tight, dangerous spaces that adults could not reach because of their size. Children worked in mines, around dangerous machinery, chimneys, prostitution and more. Because of the unbearable hours, malnutrition, no health care, children would sometimes fall asleep on the job. Even though they were working side by side with their parents and siblings, it was not unusual for a shop boss or supervisor to beat the child. The parents could not fight back because it would mean the loss of jobs for the entire family. Essentially it was about two steps higher than slavery minus the racism. This was nearly every company across the board. So it wasn’t as if you could argue unfair treatment, quit and get another job with a sanely operated company.
To give you an idea of how barbaric our society was back then, and by we I mean every continent on the planet, it was a big milestone when Britain came through as the first nation to pass a law in favor of children. Its laughable now, but then it was a huge relief to many families and children. It fell under the title of FACTORY ACTS in the early 1900′s. Children under the age of 9 were not allowed to work at all. Chidren between the ages of 10 and 17 were limited to a twelve hour work day, which indicates they were working sixteen or more hours per day prior to the law. We still have sweat shops and worse still today. The poorer the country the fewer child labor restrictions there are.
WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN THE U.S.A.?
1.7 million children UNDER THE AGE OF 15 were said to be working in 1900 in the U.S.A. in the fields of industry. By 1910 that number had climbed to 2 million. Labor unions were already up and running, fighting and battling for rights for everyone. The issue was that as with any movement, the extremists are the gutsiest of all, but with that extremists mentality comes a number of harsh negatives. The union leaders in the 1700′s and 1800′s and beyond were known to be violent, unruly, coercive, and intimidating to co-workers and political officials. Many would argue that if they weren’t, nothing would have been accomplished with those in power in America. It was only through fear that politicians were motivated to rein in the questionable employment practices of large company owners and executives. Opposition to unions, even today, allege that unions are socialistic and no longer necessary. In fact many would argue that we have swung too far in over compensating for our history and now we are dealing with ungrateful, selfish, nondedicated workers who have a sense of entitlement and take advantage of the system. WHERE DO YOU STAND ON THIS ISSUE?
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? JOIN OUR DISCUSSION
Always remember humans are charged with keeping one another in check. It doesn’t matter if you are the President of the United States, a CEO of a major corporation, a clerk at a retail store or you are out of work on disability. Honesty and integrity should be at the top of every man and woman’s list because no one is any more important or any less valuable than the other. Every single one of us impacts, shapes and influences our employers, family, friends, children, community, the nation and the world. We are each representatives of this list. We have an obligation to be the best we can be to our employers and to the people who fought and still fight for the luxuries we enjoy today.
HAPPY LABOR DAY!

U.S. TROOPS COMING HOME? IRAQ WAR VS AFGHANISTAN WAR
42% of Americans said the war was worth fighting.
55% of Americans said it was not worth fighting the Iraq War.
Certainly everyone has heard by now that President Obama is working to bring an end to the Iraq War by sending approximately 90,000 troops home. HOWEVER many journalist argue there is merely a shift of troops from Iraq to Afghanistan. It may or may not be the same troops in some cases. Below is a chart of numbers which reveals an overall relief for troops in the range of 30,000 after calculating the Afghan shift. This chart should help you see what so many articles will speak about, but we are not certain how simple it will be to decipher as we believe it is as shown below. These figures are comprised of numbers released by the White House and other sources.
January 2009: 144,000 troops in Iraq 33,000 troops in Afghanistan TOTAL = 177,000
July 2010: 81,000 troops in Iraq 87,000 troops in Afghanistan TOTAL = 169,000
September 2010: 50,000 troops in Iraq 96,000 troops in Afghanistan TOTAL = 146,000
These do not reflect the number of troops who are deployed throughout the world in support of either the Iraq or Afghanistan wars, but are stationed in neighboring countries or in nations which have some political association, serve as a potential threat &/or are threatened by the forces America is fighting.
The 50,000 remaining troops in Iraq are intended to be more peace keeping-training for Iraqis-protect US civilians-overseeing equipment transfers & more. Needless to say counterterrorism is a given on this list too. By the end of next year all American troops are suppose to be completely out of Iraq per a previous agreement between former President Bush & the Iraqis.
The deadline to begin remove troops from Iraq was mentioned as August 31, 2010 early on in this recent presidency. As U.S. controlled bases lose their U.S. troops, Iraqi troops are expected to assume control and begin rebuilding their social, political and economic structures.
Back in February of 2008 the 48% of Americans believed that pulling out of Iraq would drastically effect the U.S. economy for the better. 20% are have said to believe it would help to some degree. 43 % said increased spending on health care, education, & housing programs would benefit the economy considerably. 36% werein favor of cutting taxes in order to improve the economy.
Wars no longer produce jobs the way they use to because our technology is different and we have grown accustomed to & overly dependent upon outsourcing. As a result the average American is no longer able to see the benefit or actually benefit economically from wars as it stands now.
Cost of war in Iraq has been estimated at $2billion per week as far back as 2008 and 2006. It is said we have spent $1.25trillion dollars since the start of the war. This does not include figures for Afghanistan. Keep in mind the war grows more costly as time goes on and this does not even address the cost of life which is impossible to place a number on the life of a loved one. As of 2010 it is expected that we will have spent a total of $3.2trillion total for both Iraq and Afghanistan. We wanted to post death tolls, but we can’t seem to confirm conclusive and accurate figures as the U.S. & Iraq are in disagreement about July 2010′s calculations from Iraq about their death toll.

CANCER, PAIN & ALLERGY CURES ON THE HORIZON IN HEALTH CARE?
Following a six week project involving the collection of octopus species, 4 new species of octopi have recently been identified. They came from Antarctica. Two new types of venom have also been discovered within these species. The venom is unusual because it is effective in sub-zero temperatures. This caught the attention of researchers who believe the venom MIGHT serve as a source to manage and/or cure of pain, allergies and cancer.

SIDE BAR: BP CEO steps down or over? http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_gulf_oil_spill
Needless to say research is a long process so nothing is etched in stone to date, but it gives us hope. Keep in mind, for a myriad of reasons, it takes even longer for the U.S.A. to secure approval from the F.D.A. for the distribution and administering of drugs/pharmaceuticals. It serves as a positive sign nevertheless.
CEPHALOPOD: Is a marine mollusk which has a fully developed head, eyes and suction-cup-like tentacles. It is usually without a skeletal structure.
INVERTEBRATE: Animal without a backbone.
OCTOPUS:Falls into the category of a cephalopod. We know of approximately 300 different species in this category.
Octopi are thought to:
be the most intelligent of the invertebrates
be usually fond of coral reefs
emit ink for disguise
change color for camouflage
have 2 eyes
4 pairs of arms
have the ability to squeeze into tight spots because of the absence of bone structure
VENOM:All species of octopi are venomous, but to date the tropical based Blue-ringed octopus releases the only venom known to be lethal to humans. These latest venom discoveries contain a variety of toxins, as does all venom. However, there are two new toxins in this most recent venom never recognized before. There are also new proteins in the venom which researchers say may contain additional keys toward strides in medicine and health care. The venom from the Blue-ringed octopus (tropical type which can be deadly to humans) is being compared since it most resembles the venom of the newer species.
This causes us to pause and consider the countless species which are being destroyed in and around the Gulf from the oil spill. Species matter because they have their own value in and apart from the human race. It also is important to secure their safety and future because we are charged with these duties on this planet. If those persepctives aren’t convincing, then from a survival standpoint, every species serves a purpose to the environment and therefore to us since we exist in this enviro0nment. It is a difficult and sometimes an impossible balancing act as our desire and drive to take leaps and bounds in technology often time overshadow or outweigh the risk and possibilities we face in destroying or maiming ourselves and the environment. We begin thinking in terms of money, investments, greed, wealth, the economy, etc. & pretty soon we have rationalized ourselves right into a hazardous-high-risk endeavor.
We risk this in every stride we take on the technological front. We have done it with nuclear plants, automobiles, pesticides and more as the debates continue on their degree of value, productivity, effectiveness, danger, risk, ability to create jobs, long term and short term effects on health and the environment. So much is invested in determining whether or not the introduction of something new into our society will benefit us more than harm us. All of these factors are taken into consideration before decisions are made to move forth with a product, service, process or program.
Something somewhere and somehow will suffer from every stride we make mechanically, biologically, economically & environmentally. It is impossible to invent and remain creative without facing a consequence on the other side. If we halted every invention from the beginning of time because something suffered as a result of that invention, we would enjoy very few inventions and creature comforts today. This is not to suggest that our duties and obligations can be thrown to the wayside. It is essential we maintain an awareness of the balance of life as we move forward as a society in our exploration and development of new ideas.
This is a prime example of the fact that many of our answers are right in front of us, but we wonder how many times we “miss the boat” because of human error, lack of focus in the proper direction, and our overall destructive behavior as humans at times.
Most of us think cancer would be our primary concern, then pain then allergies. Last evening we learned about a young boy who suffers from extreme food allergies to the extent he is limited to a diet of pork. Literally everything he eats places his life in danger from getting rashes, to hives, to his esophagus swelling, asthma, nausea, vomiting and more. He has to be fed intravenously daily to assure certain nutrients are being absorbed by his body. Can any of us imagine a diet of pork. The interesting thing was he looked healthy and he was extremely agile and athletic with a wonderful spirit. We always thought allergies were limited to a select few food groups. Although this little boy’s case is rare, it is something to consider as carrying a higher degree of importance than what we may have thought. We hope for some relief through these latest findings with this venom.

INDEPENDENCE DAY – HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY
Keep in mind that with every document, act, bill, law or doctrine comes controversy no matter how well intended it is. Different Americans have different perspectives and they are justified from their personal perspective.
No one can deny that our Declaration of Independence was a crucial part of who and what we are today. It is history whether you think of it as good, bad or indifferent and for that we honor and support this country, its growth and maturity over the years and generations. If you are seeking perfection in a country or nation, you won’t find it. If you are seeking a clean slate of history in a nation, you won’t find that either just as you will NOT find that in any one person’s life.
The same is true of our present and future. We are not and will not be perfect – ever. We can only pull together and work as a unit to improve on our current state.
It is our history and we are grateful for the victories and the defeats. Just like any family, we have the good, the not so good and the less than not so good and we embrace and acknowledge every single member of our American family. As with any human being, we make mistakes and we are continually growing. We are comparatively young given our current establishment and government structure.
We have a long way to go, but we have made great strides in a very short period of time. Every stride has come with a price and from this we must continue to learn as a great nation and as individuals.
In 1776 thirteen American colonies were deemed independent and free from the British Empire and rule. We thereby entered into the Declaration of Independence which the Continental Congress formally adopted.
Can you name the original thirteen colonies, known as states? (SEE BELOW FOR ANSWERS)
Beside each state are the names of the men who signed the Declaration of Independence. There are 56 signatures.
New Hampshire:Josiah Barlett, Matthew Thornton, William Whipple
Massachusetts:John Adams, Samuel Adams, John Hancock (President of the Continental Congress), Elbridge Gerry, Robert Paine
Rhode Island: William Ellery, Stephen Hopkins
Connecticut: Samuel Huntington, Roger Sherman, William Williams, Oliver Wolcott
New York: William Floyd, Francis Lewis, Phillip Livingston, Lewis Morris
New Jersey: Abraham Clark, John Hart, Francis Hopkinson, Richard Stockton, John Whitherspoon
Pennsylvania:George Clymer, Benjamin Franklin (oldest at 70), Robert Morris, John Morton, George Ross, Benjamin Rush, James Smith, George Taylor, James Wilson
Delaware: Thomas McKean, George Read, Caesar Rodney
Maryland:Charles Carroll, Samuel Chase, William Paca, Thomas Stone
Virginia:Carter Braxton, Benjamin Harrison, Thomas Jefferson (wrote majority of the Declaration) , Francis Lightfoot Lee, Richard Henry Lee, Thomas Nelson, Jr., George Wythe
North Carolina: Joseph Hewes, William Hooper, John Penn
South Carolina:Thomas Heyward, Jr., Thomas Lynch, Jr., Arthur Middleton, Edward Rutledge (youngest at 26)
Georgia: Button Gwinett, Lyman Hall, George Walton
BELOW IS A QUOTED COPY OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE:
In Congress, July 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. —That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. —Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount an payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred. to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. —And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
