Just messing with WHS...trying to get the upload feature to work...though I am guessing that uploading via internet from the same location as WHS (my network) might be the issue. Hmmm...

Here is a quote that someone sent me and is very dramatic. It is from an American Pastor. His name was Dr. Adrian Rogers. I met him many years ago when he was Pastor of Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis, TN, USA. It is not a theological statement and definately has political overtones. My intent is NOT to start a political debate but just to share an insightful thought. I hope you enjoy it...Bill

"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it." Dr. Adrian Rogers, 1931-2005

GM's president quitting the boat as it is sinking and getting 20 millions $ (and maybe more) for it, I don't call this work. And this is only one example among many others. So logically, he didn't work for it so he should not get mad if the government took this money and distribute it to people who won't even see 1% of that money in their entire life.

What I'm saying is the same as Mr. Rogers's quote, with a little twist: We won't take the money you worked for, but we can decide the amount of money your work is worth.


My socialistic 2 cents.

Hmmm Mo, I believe, and almost sure that this Mr Rogers and that Mr Rogers are two different people. This once sounds to be a bit of a socialist and the other had more Leninist leanings...Hee Hee...Bill.
