Focus your energy on guiding your child to freedom

Of course you are heartbroken, but you will always be a mother. .That means that your child's welfare is ever present in your mind ABOVE ALL THINGS. Her welfare is your only goal.Use your connection to her to guide her to a place of freedom and light - a place where she is merged into infinite love.Don't hold her to you but help her to reach a place where she will know great joy and be free of suffering

Energy never disappears- it only changes form.Know that she will always be present in beauty and in your heart.Perhaps you will know her again in a another form.

Any person involved with evil intention,especially toward the innocent will receive their own poison many times over. Get away from these people.Don't allow them to take your mind to a place of confusion, it will harm your daughter. At this time you need to allow only tenderness and love around you so you can point her on her journey. Hold steady and guide your daughter to the place of light.

Original article: Cheney lives on

It appears they really are cousins

Cheney does the dirty work and Obama runs interference.

Count me in -

Sometimes I go to a movie.not knowing what to expect and spend most of the movie with my hands over my eyes. At home its easy to click away and I never knowingly watch horror movies. I can't understand why to see others hurt or afraid is something 'fun".

Is not that I can't look at gore or that I get queasy over bodily

substances- as a nurse I have been up to my elbow in blood and other substances. Even if I have to hurt someone to treat a wound

or remove dressings I accomplish what is necessary as efficiently as possible in order to make it quick.

But there are many things that make me cry at work or things that still shock me deeply and fill me with both horror and admiration for the human capacity to undergo trauma.

But to find it entertaining is impossible for me to understand.

Wow I am impressed

By the caliber of our military commanders who stood up to Miller.

I'm sure they were aware where these orders were coming from . From the WMDs in the White House.These men should be promoted forthwith for hewing to standards that kept our country from falling into total depravity.

Tillydog- WMD was way beyond their pay grade

These people thought all they had to pull off was a P.R. coup . They never actually considered EXERTING themselves.

And the torture? - that was just for personal satisfaction and enjoyment for the Bohemian grove crowd

the American people are not desperate enough

They all want to have " the choice of physician " should they ever be able to afford healthcare or happen get employed again.

As a working person who has had Blue Cross for many years I have never been able to actually to acquire my own personal M.D. because whenever I try I'm told their practices are full and they are not taking new patients.

The myth of becoming rich andthen denied something is the most powerful lie ever hatched and sold to 200 million people who mostly make less than 30K a year.

The dream dies hard.

Original article: The virginity fetish

Western men get off on making women lose

Whether it be their virginity, or confidence that's what enhances their superiority.

It is very related to being the FIRST man on the North Pole, the moon or Mt Kilamanjaro. being first is just one more race to win and mark their name before anyone else. It has absolute nothing to do with women.

Religion backs it up with sanctions, written by male prophets and saints because in their worldview men are the only real players.Everything else in the world is just backdrop.

I think I need to notify the Austin Police Dept

That way if there is some string of unsolved rageful murders against women in the area we have a possible suspect - Brightstar

And let me guess- the way he carves them up will be highly ritualistc and unusually brutal.

If its the right thing to do...

Do It!

You don't seem to have some other life to step into , so step into the one you have , complete with children and a history.

Considering that your marriage is just not passionate enough for you may be a combination of things from growing older,increased responsibility to your kids, being exhausted, confused about what life is about and some weird desire to keep window shopping.You may also think that you should stay 17 forever.Really there's nothing more boring than insisting on the same experience over and over.

You've actually got the tools now to make headway in a relationship with someone you trust. Those kind of circumstances are rare..Its not like you can never change your mind if you have to.

American socialized healthcare - for the dying only

How many Americans die of preexisting conditions?

How many die from cheap fast food because one third of their income goes to insurance, that they never dare never use.

How many die of stress from overwork to pay for their familiy's insurance?

How many die alone, divorced and alcoholic from the break up of the family workig those two or more jobs?

How many die because they can't continue on medications they are prescribed?

How many die of heart disease secondary to the strong arm of the meat industry?

How many die from preventable conditions that are can't be diagnosed until they reached the lifethreatening stage in which an E.R. visit is accessible.?

How many women have abortions because they can't afford the delivery & prenatal care or look forward to being able to take time of work , get some childcare assist or count on child healthcare?

Seniors , the only group receiving socialized medicine in the U.S are assured more care than they even want -as specialists descend on them like vultures in the last six months of their lives to ensure they will die tied up alone in a hospital hooked up to tubes and moniters, cash cows for the pharmaceutical companes to the last breath.
