YOU MAY SAY I'M A DREAMER...

Tony Walker


I was reading Marion's Lunch Time Poll post about whether we should see the photos of Bin Laden.

I love what Marion said.... let's see the photos of the Navy Seals celebrating. Let's see all the celebrations.

After watching the footage today of Obama at Ground Zero some rantings I've seen on Facebook came to mind.
Have you seen the people on Facebook posting "Obama did not kill Osama... our Navy did" & the ones where people are upset that Osama got a "proper" burial? These postings upset me. It's become the in thing to bash everything. Why can't we for once not look at labels & celebrate together? No Obama did not personally kill Osama but he was in charge! You know what? Osama didn't personally pilot the planes into the WTC but he was in charge! This is not a who is a better President thing. Obama & G. W. Bush both deserve some credit here! I understand people being upset over the proper burial. I too am glad the man is dead. I understand people saying he didn't deserve a proper burial. I knew 7 people who died on 9/11. I understand people wanna celebrate in the streets like people did in the Middle East when the attack on us happened. But we are better than them! Do we really need to stoop to their level?

One thing we should've learned from 9/11 is what happens when you live with hate. Maybe if we tried to live more with love there wouldn't be so much bashing & negativity.

Instead of a declaration of war let's declare peace!!!!

SINKING SHIP-REVISITED

POST HOLIDAY RE-RUN


Dawn Boyle

With oil reaching over $100 a barrel on the Stock Exchange from the turmoil in the Middle East, I wonder why the top news story is about Charlie Sheen having custody taken away of his twin boys and Christina Aguilera drunk in public. I am all about train wreck TV, but we are in SERIOUS TROUBLE!

If we don't make something happen, and soon, we will be in worse shape then this recession and horrible housing market already is. The jobless rate will soar higher. Why isn't our government stopping this from happening? What can be done?

I saw on ABC this morning that if every family made a conscious choice to only BUY AMERICAN and spend a mere $65 that we would be ahead by 200,000 jobs. Could that be possible?
It seems to me that we need to get back to basics. ONLY buy what we make. Bring back the pride of being American. SHAKE IT UP OUT THERE!!!! WE NEED ACTION NOW!!!

What should we do? What can we do? What MUST WE DO???
We must do something, or this ship will sink.  What's your evacuation plan? Thoughts? Actions? Do share.......

STICKER SHOCK!

Dawn Boyle


Well it happened. Seems like over night the prices of gas has soared to over $4.00 a gallon. The all time high was two years ago in July when it topped at $4.41. We will see that and probably raise it. Rumors are buzzing that we will hit $5.00 a gallon by the time summer is in full swing.

Why isn't our government opening up our reserves? Why aren't we drilling off our shores? Why is it that any chance of the economy bouncing back has been destroyed by the disturbance in the Middle East?

I am heading Upstate today for Passover. I drive through Jersey for about 20 minutes. I will be filling up there, for some reason they are about 50 cents cheaper a gallon!

New websites are popping up all over trying to help the consumer, check out gasbuddy!

With the turmoil in the Middle East and the price of gas climbing with the possibility of  hitting $5.00 a gallon, is it time for us to start off shore drilling?
