Never Forget

The creatures that once walked the same planet are now left to bones and prints.

Living proof that this planet has been an evolving mystical experience, with creatures and landscape lost to the hands of time. These prints were made before the second generation of the Rocky Mountains uplifted from the Earth. When you think about the power it would take to uplift the Earth's surface and create the Rockies- you also might be alble to comprehend why we can only find bones and prints of these reptilian giants. The Earth can be a vicious mother if your around during her creative time.

The best evidence that English is a hard language.  This took a lot of work to put together!!!

1) The bandage was wound around the wound.

2) The farm was used to produce produce. 

3) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.

4) We must polish the Polish furniture.

5) He could lead if he would get the lead out.

6) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.

7) Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to

present the present.

8) A bass was painted on the head of the bass & bass drum.

9) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.

10) I did not object to the object.

11) The insurance was invalid for the invalid.12) There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row

13) They were too close to the door to close it.

14) The buck does funny things when the does are present.

15) A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line.


16) To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow.


17) The wind was too strong to wind the sail. 

18) Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear.

19) I had to subject the subject to a series of tests.

20) How can I  intimate this to my most intimate friend?

Let's face it - English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant,
nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins
weren't invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are
candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. We take English for granted.


But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly,
boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a
pig.


 And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural
 of booth, beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? One index,2   indices? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend?
 If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them,
 what do you call it?


If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats
 vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? Sometimes I think all the English
 speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what
 language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and
 send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell?


How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a
 wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a
 language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill
 in a form by filling it out and in which, an alarm goes off by going on.


English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the
 creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all. That
 is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are
 out, they are invisible.


You lovers of the English language might enjoy this.


There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other
 two-letter word, and that is 'UP.'


It's easy to understand...


UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in
 the morning, why do we wake UP? At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why
 do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to
 the secretary to write UP a report?


We call UP our friends. And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the
 silver; we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the
 house and some guys fix UP the old car. At other times the little word has
 real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP
 an appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one thing, but to be
 dressed UP is special.


And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped
 UP. We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night.


We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP! To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP  almost 1/4th of the page and can add UP to about thirty
 definitions. If you are UP to it, you might try building a list of the many
 ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give
 UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more. When it threatens to rain, we
 say it is clouding UP. When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP...


When it rains, it wets the earth and often messes things UP.  When it
 doesn't rain for awhile, things dry UP.


One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it  UP, for now my time is UP,
 so........it is time to shut UP!

Don't be afraid to scare "the sheep"

The world always makes the assumption that the exposure of an error is identical with the discovery of truth--that the error and truth are simply opposite. They are nothing of the sort. What the world turns to, when it is cured of one error, is usually simply another error, and maybe one worse than the first one.

The men the American public admire most extravagantly are the most daring liars; the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth.

Keep it real out there!

A retired Constitutional lawyer has read the entire proposed
healthcare bill. Read his conclusions. This is stunning!


The Truth About the Health Care Bills - Michael
Connelly, Ret. Constitutional Attorney

Well, I have done it! I have read the entire text of proposed
House Bill 3200: The Affordable Health Care Choices Act of
2009. I studied it with particular emphasis from my area of
expertise, constitutional law. I was frankly concerned that
parts of the proposed law that were being discussed might be
unconstitutional. What I found was far worse than what I had
heard or expected.

To begin with, much of what has been said about the law and its
implications is in fact true, despite what the Democrats and
the media are saying. The law does provide for
rationing of health care, particularly where senior citizens
and other classes of citizens are involved, free health care
for illegal immigrants, free abortion services, and probably
forced participation in abortions by members of the medical
profession.

The Bill will also eventually force private insurance companies
out of business, and put everyone into a government run system.
All decisions about personal health care will ultimately be
made by federal bureaucrats, and most of them will not be
health care professionals. Hospital admissions, payments to
physicians, and allocations of necessary medical devices will
be strictly controlled by the government.

However, as scary as all of that is, it just scratches the
surface. In fact, I have concluded that this legislation
really has no intention of providing affordable health care
choices. Instead it is a convenient cover for the most massive
transfer of power to the Executive Branch of government that
has ever occurred, or even been contemplated If this law or a
similar one is adopted, major portions of the Constitution of
the United States will effectively have been destroyed.

The first thing to go will be the masterfully crafted balance
of power between the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial
branches of the U.S. Government.. The Congress will be
transferring to the Obama Administration authority in a number
of different areas over the lives of the American people, and
the businesses they own.

The irony is that the Congress doesn't have any
authority to legislate in most of those areas to begin with! I
defy anyone to read the text of the U.S. Constitution and find
any authority granted to the members of Congress to regulate health
care.
This legislation also provides for access, by the appointees of
the Obama administration, of all of your personal healthcare
direct violation of the specific provisions of the 4th
Amendment to the Constitution information, your personal
financial information, and the information of your employer,
physician, and hospital. All of this is a protecting against
unreasonable searches and seizures. You can also forget about the
right to privacy. That will have been legislated into oblivion
regardless of what the 3rd and 4th Amendments may provide...

If you decide not to have healthcare insurance, or if you have
private insurance that is not deemed acceptable to the Health
Choices Administrator appointed by Obama, there will be a tax
imposed on you. It is called a tax instead of a fine
because of the intent to avoid application of the due process
clause of the 5th Amendment. However, that doesn't work because
since there is nothing in the law that allows you to contest or
appeal the imposition of the tax, it is definitely depriving
someone of property without the due process of law.

So, there are three of those pesky amendments that the far left
hate so much, out the original ten in the Bill of Rights, that
are effectively nullified by this law It doesn't stop
there though.

The 9th Amendment that provides: The enumeration in the
Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny
or disparage others retained by the people;
The 10th Amendment states: The powers not delegated to
the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to
the States, are preserved to the States respectively, or to the
people. Under the provisions of this piece of Congressional
handiwork neither the people nor the states are going to have
any rights or powers at all in many areas that once were theirs
to control.
I could write many more pages about this legislation, but I
think you get the idea. This is not about health care; it is
about seizing power and limiting rights... Article 6 of
the Constitution requires the members of both houses of
Congress to "be bound by oath or affirmation to support the
Constitution." If I was a member of Congress I would not be able to
vote for this legislation or anything like it, without feeling
I was violating that sacred oath or affirmation. If I voted
for it anyway, I would hope the American people would hold me
accountable.

For those who might doubt the nature of this threat, I suggest
they consult the source, the US Constitution, and Bill of
Rights. There you can see exactly what we are about to have
taken from us.
