http://www.dailyfinance.com/2011/07/22/the-high-price-of-americas-gambling-addiction/ As state legislators aggressively pursue legalizing gambling to bring in revenue for their states they are doing it at the cost of the social well being of their citizens; and the sad fact is that they know it. When does the cost become too high?

Texting While Walking Banned in New Jersey Town “It’s a big distraction. Pedestrians aren’t watching where they are going and they are not aware,” said Thomas Ripoli, chief of the Fort Lee Police Department. Ripoli said the borough, which is home to approximately 35,000 residents, has suffered three fatal pedestrian-involved accidents this year. He hopes his crackdown on people who display dangerous behavior while walking will make his town safer, but not everyone is on board with the idea of issuing $85 tickets." That will work, I suppose they can't give them a ticket for just being rude.

Mitt Romney's Wife Wears $1,000 Shirt When your shirt could be a rent check, you are wealthy These two are 100% out of touch with the mass majority of Americans. Mr. Romney reminds me of a man that run for state representative a few years ago. I had seen him many times, had said hello to him several times, but never would he utter a word to me. While running for state representative, he came up to me, shook my hand, introduce him self, saying he would appreciate my vote.

As we were meeting in Walmart, I stopped calling him by his name, he looke…

Kansas lawmakers pass effective ban on Islamic law This should not have to be done, we have our set of laws, they're on the books, & it not & does not include the Islamic laws! And any judge trying to impose, & or allow, Islam law in this country should be impeached, & removed from the position of judge. Why? For he has sworn to uphold the laws of this United States, & if & when he tries to impose or uphold Islam law, he has broken his oath.

Egypt funeral turns celebratory after dead man awakes This man came to before they could bury him, & the funeral service turned into a happy event. I have often thought, that could not happen today in America, for the person is embalmed in many cases right after they're declared dead. I wonder, how man people had been hap-hazardously declared dead, & the undertaker did not check them before starting the embalming?

Ex-Sen. Bill Bradley: Washington Paralysis Could Bring 'Another Meltdown' "In an exclusive interview with Newsmax TV, Bradley explains: “With this proposal not one dollar of federal money would be spent that didn’t create a job. A company would hire someone and not fire anyone, and 30 percent — up to $25,000 — would be paid by the federal government for two years. It would be a $50 billion program. The result would be unemployment dropping dramatically.” Asked if he has pitched his proposal to anyone in Washington and if they have been receptive, he responds: “Yes, I have pitched it to a number of people, and no, they have not been receptive.” No wonder no one was …

Marine Corps Moves Women Closer to Combat Duty Many women, do not like to be women, they want to take the place of man. And its true also, some men do not like being men. Those in theses groups are not happy with the role God has given them, thinking they know more about self, that God does. And the world is slowly coming into complete agreement. But the truth is, the one that created them, knows much more about them than they know about self, & they will never find true lasting happiness until they submit to the One that created them. The sad part is many of those that claim to be of God, even pastors, preachers, deacons, & teaches help them in their endeavor…

Woman gives up kidney, loses job; Picture of being ungrateful Mt 7:12 ¶ Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. Which reminds me, some Christians thinks when men do bad unto them that gives them the right to return bad back to them, yet the 'Golden Rule,' does not state nothing like that.
