Spiritual - Occupy Wall Street - Assholes!
I spent my career helping to protect people and businesses....and idiots from "Occupy Wall Street" think it's fun to tear everything down and destroy our culture. They are mostly a bunch of lazy sheep that don't want to work and want wealth re-dsitribution. Instead of working for things they want, they would rather destroy everything.

Intellect - VP Debate - Disgusted!
Vice President Biden was so disrespectful with the goofy smile and constant interruptions. I wish Ryan would have put him in his place. Mr. Vice President, I don't know what's so funny. Your administration has increased the national debt, has failed to reduce the unemployment rate, doled out billions in poor investments to solar companies with political ties, has a DOJ that will not explain Fast and Furious, a failed TARP Program that wasted money instead of focusing on "Shovel-Ready" jobs, and has mislead the American Public about the events in Libya.

Spiritual - Prescription Coverage?
FORGET OBAMA AND ROMNEY...
THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST WORRISOME STATISTICS IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS.
25% of women in this country are on medication for mental illness!
That's scary as hell, since it means 75% are running around with no medication at all.

1. Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.

3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
7. Cry with someone. It’s more healing than crying alone.
8. It’s OK to get angry with God. He can take it.

10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
11. Make peace with your past so it won’t screw up the present.
12. It’s OK to let your children see you cry.
13. Don’t compare your life to others’. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn’t be in it.
15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don’t worry; God never blinks.
16. Life is too short for long pity parties. Get busy living, or get busy dying.

30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.
31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
32. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.
33. Believe in miracles.
34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn’t do.
35. Whatever doesn’t kill you really does make you stronger.
36. Growing old beats the alternative – dying young.
37. Your children get only one childhood. Make it memorable.
38. Read the Psalms. They cover every human emotion.
39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d grab ours back.
41. Don’t audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
42. Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful.
43. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
44. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
45. The best is yet to come.
46. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
47. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
48. If you don’t ask, you don’t get.
49. Yield.
50. Life isn’t tied with a bow, but it’s still a gift.

Intellect - World Economics for Dummies
World Economics for Dummies
Economic Models explained with cows
SOCIALISM: You have 2 cows. You give one to your neighbour.
COMMUNISM: You have 2 cows. The State takes both and gives you some milk.
FASCISM: You have 2 cows. The State takes both and sells you some milk.
NAZISM: You have 2 cows. The State takes both and shoots you.
BUREAUCRACY: You have 2 cows. The State takes both, shoots one, milks the other, then throws the milk away.
TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM: You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on the income.
SURREALISM: You have two giraffes. The government requires you to take harmonica lessons.
AN AMERICAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows. Later, you hire a consultant to analyse why the cow has dropped dead.
ENRON VENTURE CAPITALISM: You have two cows. You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax exemption for five cows. The milk rights of the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island Company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company. The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more. Sell one cow to buy a new President of the United States, leaving you with nine cows. No balance sheet provided with the release. The public buys your bull.
THE ANDERSEN MODEL: You have two cows. You shred them.
A FRENCH CORPORATION: You have two cows. You go on strike, organise a riot, and block the roads, because you want three cows.
A JAPANESE CORPORATION: You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. You then create a clever cow cartoon image called 'cowkimon' and market it worldwide.
A GERMAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You re-engineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves.
AN ITALIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows, but you don't know where they are. You decide to have lunch.
A RUSSIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You count them and learn you have five cows. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. You count them again and learn you have 2 cows.
You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka.
A SWISS CORPORATION: You have 5000 cows. None of them belong to you. You charge the owners for storing them.
A CHINESE CORPORATION: You have two cows. You have 300 people milking them. You claim that you have full employment, and high bovine productivity, and arrest the newsman who reported the real situation.
AN INDIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You worship them.
A BRITISH CORPORATION: You have two cows. Both are mad.
AN IRAQI CORPORATION: Everyone thinks you have lots of cows. You tell them that you have none. No-one believes you, so they bomb the **** out of you and invade your country.
You still have no cows, but at least now you are part of a Democracy....
A WELSH CORPORATION: You have two cows. The one on the left looks very attractive.
AN AUSTRALIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. Business seems pretty good. You close the office and go for a few beers to celebrate.
SOCIALISM: You have 2 cows. You give one to your neighbour.

Spiritual - A lesson in irony:
The Food Stamp Program, administered by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, is proud to be distributing the greatest amount of free
meals and food stamps ever.
Meanwhile, the National Park Service, administered by the U.S.
Department of the Interior, asks us to "Please Do Not Feed the
Animals."
Their stated reason for the policy is because the animals will
grow dependent on handouts and will not learn to take care of
themselves.
This ends today's lesson.

Health - We're all going to die....but we can live longer and healthier!
After watching the movie, Forks over Knives.... I realized that we have all been bought and sold by food lobbyists, chemical companies, big pharmaceutical companies and advertiser hucksters.
The beef lobby, the dairy lobby, the egg lobby, the wheat lobby, the cory syrup lobby, the sugar lobby, ..... they have designed the food pyramid (to sell food, not for health) .....established tax benefits for farmers....and developed the best agriculture and food delivery system in the world.....that allows McDonalds to sell a "beef" hamburger on a white flour bun for $.59 and wash it down with a sugary soda...... helping to create out of control obesity, diabetes, heart disease and cancer rates in America.
We are all hooked.... like heroin addicts....going from fix to fix.
I found the article and links below.....and thought that you might find them interesting......

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once again the low carb approach strikes, causing death in its wake. Not surprisingly, dieters can and do lose weight. The problem is that the diet creates heart disease including arterial stenosis leading to heart attack, stroke, Alzheimer's disease and more. It also promotes the development of cancer. In addition, once carb intake increases, the promotion of diabetes is left from carb deprivation. I am currently coaching a woman who weighed about 340 lbs. On this diet, she lost 100 pounds in a couple of years. Sounds great, but her overall health has declined so much that her cardiologist warned her of imminent death if she continued.
Only one diet has been fully supported by all research, a Whole Foods Plant Diet which means no processed foods that breakdown the components. Virtually no oil is used so no chips. This eliminates flour as well. This diet typically has no animal products at all which has been shown to be optimal. Some users allow up to 5% calories from animal foods. All of this is well documented and presented to the public in "The China Study" by T. Colin Campbell, PhD.
Lately there has been a lot of media attention on this diet including the conversion of Bill Clinton to save himself from death by heart attack. I have attached a copy for your perusal. Also, I am including a few links from Dr. Michael Greger's site, nutritionfacts.org
http://www.vegsource.com/news/2011/08/dr-essesltyn-on-sanjay-guptas-cnn-special-video.html
http://nutritionfacts.org/video/vegetarians-versus-healthy-omnivores/
http://nutritionfacts.org/video/thousands-of-vegans-studied/
http://nutritionfacts.org/video/atkins-diet-trouble-keeping-it-up/
A funny thing about the WFPD. When the huge EPIC study was done in Europe, they actively searched for vegans. When the search was complete, they divided the groups into 4 groups; those who ate meat, those without meat, but with fish, those who were vegetarians and the vegan group. However, when they tried to connect diet with disease, like heart disease, various cancers, diabetes, etc., there was virtually NO disease in the vegan group. So, they had to lump vegans and vegetarians together to get statistical relationships. Of course, the new vegetarian group had much less disease than the other groups. Makes you wonder why try the Paleo diet when WFPD is the one that works?
By the way, most research indicates that ancient man ate no meat for millions of years, then small amounts of very lean meat from wild animals. Not exactly the corn, antibiotic, hormone fed beef we eat today.

Intellect - Freedom
I do not choose to be a common man, it is my right to be uncommon ... if I can, I seek opportunity ... not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the State look after me. I want to take the calculated risk; to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed. I refuse to barter incentive for a dole; I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence; the thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of Utopia. I will not trade freedom for beneficence nor my dignity for a handout. I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat. It is my heritage to stand erect; proud and unafraid; to think and act for myself, to enjoy the benefit of my creations and to face the world boldly and say: This, with God's help, I have done. All this is what it means to be an Entrepreneur.
Common Sense, written in 1776 by Thomas Paine
