Re: Mexico
'Suspected drug traffickers dumped 35 bodies at rush hour beneath a busy overpass in the heart of a major Gulf coast city as gunmen pointed weapons at frightened drivers. Mexican authorities said Wednesday they are examining surveillance video for clues to who committed the crime.
Horrified motorists grabbed cell phones and sent Twitter messages warning others to avoid the area near the biggest shopping mall in Boca del Rio, part of the metropolitan area of Veracruz city.'

How I see life.
First and foremost, I think that life is a big con. Most of things we are told or think that we know are either outright lies or spin. It is in human nature to present things in a way that works to our advantage, and we create complex realities that when broken down to the essence don't mean very much.
Our entertainment is remarkably hedonistic and/or narcissistic. It has no real value except for the fact that entertains us, which I suppose does give it some value. We make heroes out of entertainers, when real heroes are largely ignored. I am concerned about the "garbage" entertainment that has a corrupting influence on society and youth.
We waste time on trivial things for the sake of wasting time.
Our politics are mostly about benefiting ourselves at the expense of others.
In my mind, the difference between adults and children is not a matter of age, but a willingness and ability to do things that we don't want to do. The World War II generation understood this. Later generations less so.
However, I see hope in hard times because it forces people to be more efficient and moves them back to some sense of "values." Oddly enough, I think that the country is moving in the right direction. I just don't know where we will be a couple of decades from now.
Best wishes,
John Coffey

Solar Roads - great idea
From: al
This incredible technology! Something that really helps bring hope for the future!Al
Solar Roads:
Maybe this is something we all should be working on in industry. Makes the current technology for road building look antique.
Certainly beats the national broadband network and would be incorporated into the road's surface.
What a great idea!

Winston Churchill :-)
When Hitler invaded the Soviet Union, Winston Churchill, a vehement anti-Communist, famously stated "If Hitler invaded Hell, I would at least make a favourable reference to the Devil in the House of Commons,"
"The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery."

A young writer
| I finally realized that I must do my schoolwork to keep from being ignorant, to get on in life, to become a journalist, because that's what I want! I know I can write ..., but it remains to be seen whether I really have talent ... And if I don't have the talent to write books or newspaper articles, I can always write for myself. But I want to achieve more than that. I can't imagine living like Mother, Mrs. van Daan and all the women who go about their work and are then forgotten. I need to have something besides a husband and children to devote myself to! ... I want to be useful or bring enjoyment to all people, even those I've never met. I want to go on living even after my death! And that's why I'm so grateful to God for having given me this gift, which I can use to develop myself and to express all that's inside me! When I write I can shake off all my cares. My sorrow disappears, my spirits are revived! But, and that's a big question, will I ever be able to write something great, will I ever become a journalist or a writer? | " | |

books
Electronic books can’t be given away. The ideal book is one that you can give to a friend when you are done. Even better if they pass it on.

Ok look at this.. Its 2011 so we will have 1/1/11.....1/11/11.....11/1/11....11/11/11...
Now take last two digets of the year you were born and the age you will be in 2011 add them together and you will have 111
Example: If you were born in 62, you will be 49.. 62 + 49 = 111
Try it.

In defense of eating meat.
When it comes to eating animals, I feel that we should not make animals suffer, and we should provide for their needs. As for the sin of killing them, I feel that domesticated animals are only alive because we provided a way for them to live. They would not have a life were it not for our efforts. So what little life we give them is more than what they would have had.
More than 90% of the animals in the wild die at the hands of predators.
I am sure that there are health issues with eating too much of the wrong kind of meat, so we should avoid that.

Tweels
CHECK OUT THESE TIRES !
These tires are made in South Carolina, USA .
SEE THROUGH TIRES
Radical new tire design by Michelin.
The next generation of tires.
They had a pair at the Philadelphia car show.
Yes, those are 'spoke' like connections to the inner part of the tire from the outside tread 'wrap!' The next picture shows how odd it looks in motion....
Makes you wonder how the ride feels doesn't it?
These tires are airless and are scheduled to be out on the market very soon.
The bad news for law enforcement is that spike strips will not work on these.
Just think of the impact on existing technology:
no more air valves...
no more air compressors at gas stations...
no more repair kits...
no more flats...
These are actual pictures taken in the South Carolina plant of Michelin.
By the way, these tires are called "tweels."

Halloween Candy
Wanting to give full size candy bars out at Halloween time, and not wanting to spend 50 cents per candy bar, I bought 12 packages of 6 Wal-Mart “Great Value” chocolate candy bars at $2 per package. I should have plenty. If I find candy on sale for a cheaper price, then I will get that as well.
Now I have to avoid the temptation to eat them.
