Buzz I truly get and understand Eddie and his efforts,for that I am greatly appreciative.Why isnt this action taken by OPT?

I think at times some of us get complacent and take the yard guys for granted.They do a good job and when  I see them start to dig out buses they are moving and communicating with all that need there help. The ice must not have been pleasant from them,it was a trip just to get to my bus and get out imagine moving bus after bus,great thread this was to the Yard guys!

News and Views / Some Key US Govt Stats
February 01, 2011, 01:13:04 AM

Got this message in an email today:
A recent "Investor's Business Daily" article provided very interesting statistics from a survey by the United Nations International Health
Organization.

Percentage of men and women who survived a cancer five years after diagnosis:
U.S. 65%
England 46%
Canada 42%

Percentage of patients diagnosed with diabetes who received treatment within six months:
U.S. 93%
England 15%
Canada 43%

Percentage of seniors needing hip replacement who received it within six months:
U.S. 90%
England 15%
Canada 43%

Percentage referred to a medical specialist who see one within one month:
U.S. 77%
England 40%
Canada 43%

Number of MRI scanners (a prime diagnostic tool) per million people:
U.S. 71
England 14
Canada 18

Percentage of seniors (65+), with low income, who say they are in "excellent
health":
U.S. 12%
England 2%
Canada 6%

Check this last set of statistics!!

The percentage of each past president's cabinet who had worked in the private business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet. You know
what the private business sector is a real-life business, not a government job. Here are the percentages.

T. Roosevelt..........38%
Taft......................40%
Wilson .................52%
Harding.................49%
Coolidge.............. 48%
Hoover .................42%
F. Roosevelt.........50%
Truman.................50%
Eisenhower...........57%
Kennedy...............30%
Johnson................47%
Nixon....................53%
Ford......................42%
Carter....................32%
Reagan..................56%
GH Bush............... 51%
Clinton .................39%
GW Bush................55%

And the winner is:

Obama............... 8%

This helps to explain the problems of this administration: only 8% of them have ever worked in private business!

That's right! Only eight percent---the least, by far, of the last 19 presidents! And these people are trying to tell our big corporations how to
run their business? They know what's best for GM, Chrysler, Wall Street, and you and me?

How can the president of a major nation and society, the one with the most successful economic system in world history, stand and talk about business
when he's never worked for one? Or about jobs when he has never really had one? And when it's the same for 92% of his senior staff and closest
advisers? They've spent most of their time in academia, government and/or non-profit jobs or as "community organizers." They should have been in an
employment line.

This is a great read on what some want for you and what you grow on your own:

"[S 510] would preclude the public's right to grow, own, trade, transport, share, feed and eat each and every food that nature makes. It will become the most offensive authority against the cultivation, trade and consumption of food and agricultural products of one's choice. It will be unconstitutional and contrary to natural law or, if you like, the will of God." It is similar to what India faced with imposition of the salt tax during British rule, only S 510 extends control over all food in the US, violating the fundamental human right to food." ~ Dr. Shiv Chopra, Canada Health whistle blower.

"Section 3 which is the definitions portion of the bill-read in it's entirety. section 103, 206 and 207- read in it's entirety.
Legally binds state agriculture depts to enforcing federal guidelines effectively taking away the states power to do anything other than being food police for the federal dept.

Effectively criminalizes organic farming but doesn't actually use the word organic.
Effects anyone growing food even if they are not selling it but consuming it.
Effects anyone producing meat of any kind including wild game.

Legislation is so broad based that every aspect of growing or producing food can be made illegal. There are no specifics which is bizarre considering how long the legislation is.
Section 103 is almost entirely about the administrative aspect of the legislation. It will allow the appointing of officials from the factory farming corporations and lobbyists and classify them as experts and allow them to determine and interpret the legislation. Who do you think they are going to side with? [italics mine]
Section 206 defines what will be considered a food production facility and what will be enforced up all food production facilities. The wording is so broad based that a backyard gardener could be fined and more.
Section 207 requires that the state's agriculture dept act as the food police and enforce the federal requirements. This takes away the states power and is in violation of the 10th amendment."

S. 510 the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2010, may be the most dangerous bill in the history of the US. Obama and the lame duck session are a gift that keeps on Taking..
