  1. I apologize! I feel stupid! I just had a chance to look at these You Tube videos, and something caught my eye on the "news ticker"...these were done BEFORE the election, and Fox News DID air it! Somebody has pulled our leg, and I sure wish I could strangle the person who did this! Probably some stupid liberal!

     

    Makes sense now. I was sure I had seen the special.... especially after I watched the videos.

  2. "A friend will talk with you and try to help you soothe your problems and worries, and then be on their merry way. A Godly friend will do everything they can to make 100% sure that those problems and worries are fully brought out, understood and off your chest. They will help carry the load with you so that you are not alone, even when they have many of their own."

  3. "A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government." - George Washington

  4. I was thinking of this when I posted…

     

    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.

     

    Hospital emergency departments are forbidden by law to turn away someone in need of emergency care. Because something is required by law doesn't mean it's a right. The right to life is the right to act freely for one's self-preservation. It is not a right to be immune from death by natural causes, even an untimely death.

     

    My amended answer is no, neither are rights. Both are privileges.

  5. Thanks. I figured that might be the case. Have you ever had a reaction after taking the shot?

     

    And my next question: Is there a particular reason you do not take this swine flu shot?

     

    I've never had a reaction to the flu shot.

     

    Even though statistics indicate that the regular flu is much more of a threat than the swine flu, I suppose I'd consider taking the H1N1 vaccine if my department made it available.
