Cree Indian Prophecy

"Only after the last tree has been cut down,
only after the last river has been poisoned,
only after the last fish has been caught,
only then will you find that money cannot be eaten."

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." - Excerpt from the Declaration of Independence.

Hopefully our next President
Barack Obama


Please put a stop to the racial tension in America.
Let's all just finally move on and let it go.

  • Who Killed the Electric Car? (2006)
    
    
• It is now time for all of us to switch to fuel efficient vehicles.
  • First step, get rid of that gas guzzling SUV or Pickup Truck.
    • Aren't you tired yet of wasting natural resources?
  • Next, purchase a Hybrid Vehicle.
    • Like the Toyota Prius which gets an amazing estimated 48 MPG in the city.
      
      
• Make your home green.

♠   Ramblings by the Reverend

• Are all individuals in the financial industry evil and driven by pure greed?
  
  
  • There was a time in American history where bankers were the keepers of our financial morals, but no more.
  • Just take a look at sub-prime lending and how many individuals they have hurt, and how our economy has been so negatively impacted.
  • Then another look at all the credit cards they throw at everyone, just to ensure indebtedness by promoting greed among all.
  • Then how is this pure evil and greed rewarded in the financial industry?
    • The US Government bails out Bear Stearns instead of letting them collapse and disappear as nature and capitalism dictate.
    • The five largest Wall Street banks gave out $39 billion in bonuses to themselves, while writing off billions and billions of dollars in losses.
    • These companies and individuals continue to acquire vast amounts of wealth by feeding off of the financial sufferings of all Americans.

• The division in America between the rich and everyone else is ridiculous.
  
  
  • For example, the average CEO of a large U.S. company made roughly $10.8 million last year, or 364 times that of U.S. full-time and part-time workers, who made an average of $29,544.
  • Such a disparity leads America to all sorts of social ills and problems, including crime.

• Regardless of who is the next President, we must get affordable health care coverage for every single person in America.
  
  
  • Would suggest in the range of $50 - $100 per month per individual.
  • Everyone must participate, absolutely no exceptions.
  • Some thoughts on how to help finance and subsidize as needed.
    • Invoke a flat tax on the very wealthy in this country of 35% of every bit of income.
    • Lower the Earned Income Tax Credit, which last year paid out $44 billion to 22 million people.  Assuming much of this went to health care already.
    • Gas tax of 1¢ per gallon.
    • Cap earnings of drug firms on vital and maintenance type of drugs.
    • Completely regulate all hospital charges.
    • Increase corporate taxes, which can be achieved by capping executive compensation to help cover the increase.
    • What else can you think of?

• The U.S. needs to mind its own business from this day forward.
  • First, bring all of our soldiers home and vow to stay out of other countries.
  • Next, realize every individual and nation must determine their own path Through Life, and respect this fact.
  • Finally, we need to stop trying to fix every thing abroad and concentrate on fixing all of the problems we have here at home.

• Please help Florida.
  • Disney was first in leading the major destruction of Florida effort, all for the love of money.
  • Then continuing down this path, developers are still trying to pave over the remainder of the state.  Destroying wildlife and nature in its way.
  • So today we have a water crisis in Florida.
    • Governments like Lake County and the City of Mount Dora, Florida continue to approve major developments that require much water resources.
    • Then governments like the City of Mount Dora preach water conservation and if you do not conserve, you will pay, and pay we do.  This city contributes to the shortage by approving more developments, then charges much more for water under the guise of a conservator.
    • There is another agency named the St. Johns River Water Management District that will approve water usage for every development, every golf course, and to virtually everyone that asks.  Then will turn around and spend millions of our tax dollars preaching to us on water conservation.
    • It is sad that so many of our public servants that should protect and serve, do just the opposite.

♠   What's disturbing the Reverend
