Disorder in the American Courts ***

These are from a book called Disorder in the American Courts, and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters who had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place.


ATTORNEY: Can you describe the individual?

WITNESS: He was about medium height and had a beard.

ATTORNEY: Was this a male or a female?

WITNESS: Unless the circus was in town I'm going with male.


ATTORNEY: Is your appearance here this morning pursuant to a deposition notice which I sent to your attorney?

WITNESS: No, this is how I dress when I go to work.


ATTORNEY: Doctor, how many of your autopsies have you performed on dead people?

WITNESS: All of them. The live ones put up too much of a fight.

Kennedy Speaks Against Child Vaccination ***

http://www.brasschecktv.com/page/888.html

Hear Robert Patrick Kennedy (or Patrick Robert) speak on vaccines for children.  Very impressive information.  Of course, most of us know of the dangers of vaccines but still the practice of vaccinating children from birth on for everything imaginable and parents allowing so without having pertinent information regarding what exactly is in a vaccine equals irresponsibility.  Just look at the many autistics now - something is causing this.  I have often thought there might be a connection of vaccines and what is called "crib death".

Ruth McClanahan Has Died ***

Shortly ago this was a headline for the day.  So many actors, actresses and well known public figures have died over the last few months.  Rue McClanahan, 76, the sexually liberated Southern belle Blanche Devereaux on the TV series "The Golden Girls," is such a one.  She died of a stroke, after surviving breast cancer and heart surgery in past years.

She was tapped for TV in the 1970s for the key best-friend character on the hit series "Maude," starring Beatrice Arthur.

But her most loved role came in 1985 when she co-starred with Arthur, Betty White, and Estelle Getty in "The Golden Girls," a runaway hit that broke the sitcom mold by focusing on the foibles of four aging — and frequently eccentric — women living together in Miami.

"Golden Girls" aimed to show "that when people mature, they add layers," she told The New York Times in 1985. "They don't turn into other creatures. The truth is we all still have our child, our adolescent, and your young woman or man living in us."

There is much information these days regarding our "child within". Here is a one link regarding the Child Within.  There are 1000s of links you can access to learn more.  http://www.firelily.com/support/recovery/what.about.me.html 
Examining the many facets of our life, layering our psyche just as layers of an onion, is part of the direction one takes to become healthy; physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

Here is another link you may enjoy. Enlightening.

"We need to take responsibility without taking the blame. We need to own and honor the feelings without being a victim of them.

We need to rescue and nurture and Love our inner children - and STOP them from controlling our lives. STOP them from driving the bus! Children are not supposed to drive, they are not supposed to be in control."
"History has been, and is being, made by immature, scared, angry, hurt individuals who were/are reacting to their childhood wounds and programming - reacting to the little child inside who feels unworthy and unlovable."

Paulo Coelho words ***

“There is one great truth on this planet: whoever you are, or whatever it is that you do,when you really want something, it's because that desire originated in the soul of the universe. It's your mission on earth... and when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”

Paulo Coelho from The Alchemist: A Fable About Following Your Dream

Good Conclusion to a Good Question haha ***

Thought this would give you pause to laugh a bit today so I borrowed it from Merle down in Australia.

A little boy goes to his Dad and asks, "What is Politics?"


Dad says, "Well, son, let me try to explain it this way.

I am the head of the family, so call me the Prime Minister.

Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we call her the Government.

We are here to take care of your needs, so we call you the People.

The Nanny, we will consider her the Working Class.

And your baby brother, we will call him the Future,

Now think about that and see if it makes sense."

So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said.

Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he goes to

check on him.

He finds that the baby has severely soiled his nappy, (diaper)

So the little boy goes to his parent's room and finds his mother asleep.

Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door

locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny.

He gives up and goes back to bed. The next morning, the little boy says

to his father, "Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now."

The father says, "Good son, tell me in your own words what you think

politics are all about."


The little boy replies, "The Prime Minister is screwing the Working Class,

while the Government is sound asleep. The People are being ignored and

the Future is in deep s**t."
