As I sit here on a Sunday morning drinking my coffee I have become consumed with anger that a great part of society is grieving Whitney Houston and blaming Bobby Brown soley for her death. Well, addiction is no joke; but she started into drugs on her own and no one forced her to take coke or smoke a crack pipe. I am sick of selfish people blaminmg others for their "misfortunes in life", ones they created them selves by BAD CHOICES. We have thousands of sick children, wounded soldiers attempting to recover from battle wounds, and many more that have lost their lives. Yet, headline are rampant when Whitney and Michael die. Both dead at their own hands. I needed to vent and fell free to agree or disagree with me. But people need to MAKE GOOD CHOICES for them selves, their families and the community......there is help out there, seek it out and make a better life.....no one should be a victim twice !!!!! I feel sad for the family left behind by these deaths but they were hardly unpredictable !!!!! Thanks.......................................

Just saw this posted on Facebook. Didn't know about the 112 on cell phone. A MESSAGE FROM THE OFFICE OF ATTORNEY GENERAL STATE OF MICHIGAN : SITUATION.. While driving on a rural end of the roadway on Thursday morning, I saw an infant car seat on the side of the road with a blanket draped over it. For whatever reason, I did not stop, even though I had all kinds of thoughts running through my head. But when I got to my destination, I called the Canton PD and they were going to check it out. But, this is what the Police advised even before they went out there to check.... "There are several things to be aware of ... gangs and thieves are now plotting different ways to get a person (mostly women) to stop their vehicle and get out of the car. "There is a gang initiation reported by the local Police Department where gangs are placing a car seat by the road...with a fake baby in it....waiting for a woman, of course, to stop and check on the abandoned baby. "Note that the location of this car seat is usually beside a wooded or grassy (field) area and the person -- woman -- will be dragged into the woods, beaten and raped, and usually left for dead. If it's a man, they're usually beaten and robbed and maybe left for dead, too. DO NOT STOP FOR ANY REASON!!! DIAL 9-1-1 AND REPORT WHAT YOU SAW, BUT DON 'T EVEN SLOW DOWN. Oh yea, about the EGGS: "IF YOU ARE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND EGGS ARE THROWN AT YOUR WINDSHIELD, DO NOT STOP TO CHECK YOUR CAR, DO NOT OPERATE THE WIPERS AND DO NOT SPRAY ANY WATER BECAUSE EGGS MIXED WITH WATER BECOME MILKY, AND BLOCK YOUR VISION UP TO 92.5%, AND YOU ARE THEN FORCED TO STOP BESIDE THE ROAD AND BECOME A VICTIM OF THESE CRIMINALS. THIS IS A NEW TECHNIQUE USED BY GANGS, SO PLEASE INFORM YOUR FRIENDS AND RELATIVES. THESE ARE DESPERATE TIMES AND THESE ARE UNSAVORY INDIVIDUALS WHO WILL TAKE DESPERATE MEASURES TO GET WHAT THEY WANT." Please talk to your loved ones about this. This is a new tactic being used. Please be safe. Get started NOW -- SEND THIS MESSAGE TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES TO BE CAREFUL AND BE AWARE OF EVERYTHING AROUND THEM SO AS NOT TO BECOME THE VICTIM. WARNING # 3: Some knew about the red light on cars, but not Dialing 112. It was about 1:00 p.m. in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. Lauren's parents have always told her to never pull over for an unmarked car on the side of the road,but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called,112 on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind her. The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was andthere weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he had back up already on the way. Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind her. One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car behind. They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man was a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. I never knew about the 112 Cell Phone feature. I tried it on my AT&T phone & it said, "Dialing Emergency Number." Especially for a woman alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. Apparently police have to respect your right to keep going on to a safe place. *Speaking to a service representative at Bell Mobility confirmed that 112 was a direct link to State trooper info. So, now it's your turn to let your friends know about "Dialing, 112" You may want to send this to every Man, Woman & Youngster you know; it may well save a life. _______________________________ This applies to ALL 50 states PLEASE PASS ALONG TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY, IT CAN SAVE A LIFE....

I view Obama as a "failed experiment", but he will be re-elected if the Republicans cannot come up with a good candidate. If they do come up with a good candidate, and Palin is in anyway attached to the party line...they will lose! I think the solution to all of this is for the Democrats to come up with a suitable replacement and have a primary race all of their own.

As the 16th Century writer John Dunne wrote: "Any man's death diminishes me because I am part of mankind". I agree, she did it to herself, her addicition, her demons, sorry for that. She was a phenomenal singer and will be greatly missed. We all live in a glass house I refuse to pass judgement, I just pray she does rest in peace.

If this election were between Palin and Obama, Palin would get my vote and I wouldn't feel too bad about it. Heck, if Romney wins, we just get more of the same anyway.

We actually live in a republic not a democratic state, but that is a seperate thread. The reality is we have 500 dictators in D.C. not just 1 like other nations. The bottom line is the 2 political parties use the public to their benefit. That is what they will never allow a 3 party to rise and end their collaberation. They play a nice game, but the reality is that if they can keep the public split in two they can hold onto their power. The reality is that there are no true replubicans and democrats. We all fall somewhere in between and have more in common than they will ever let us know.

kind of like the ass clown we have now I guess.

Think she ahead of her time. Don't think a majority of the people are ready for a women president, quite yet. She does speak alot of truth, but, who was it that said, " you can't handle the truth?"

and I am sure all the slams form obama will be courteous and respectful and civil. This attitude is what is going to get him reelected

Palin is the reason Obama is in office. If it wasn't for her being on the ticket, McCain would have had a chance.

to all the fishin boy's, twenty minutes of my time well spent tonight........6.5 lbs .............fish on !! I think it's a channel cat.. I've seen uglier..

The brain is a wonderful and complex thing. Problem is some people use it too much, some just enough, others too little and others do not use it at all! It was a good read!

Hunt with whatever you want to but all tags stay the same. Do not add another weapon and then give another doe only and a either sex tag!!!

I do support use in all seasons if a person is disabled, DOCTOR CERTIFIED. BUT IF YOU HAVE NO ISSUES WITH HEALTH AND CAN DRAW A BOW BACK THEN YOU SHOULD USE A NORMAL TRADITIONAL BOW OR COMPOUND FOR THE BOW SEASON.
