I am &lt;a href=http://cetelem.110mb.com/simulation-pret.html&gt;Simulation Pret&lt;/a&gt; now an average high schooler with average grades(A's B's C's and even sometimes D's). In addition, I also have a lot of bad concerns about our school systems.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The first topic I want to talk about is cheating. At my school almost &lt;a href=http://creditcetelem.110mb.com/annonces-voiture.html&gt;Annonces Voiture&lt;/a&gt; in &lt;a href=http://creditcetelem.110mb.com/meilleur-financement-automobile.html&gt;Meilleur Financement Automobile&lt;/a&gt; out of my 4 classes cheats, with a few exceptions of me and a couple other people. I think it is very unfair when kids in my honors classes seem to be so much &lt;a href=http://cetelem.110mb.com/taux-pret-auto.html&gt;Taux Pret Auto&lt;/a&gt; than me when they really are not. So my GPA right now is 2.5 which isn't that good. However a girl in my class has barley any knowledge in the class, and she has an 4.0 . So guess WHAT! She looks so much smarter, and all the colleges will be looking at &lt;a href=http://creditcetelem.110mb.com/meilleur-rachat-de-credit.html&gt;Meilleur Rachat De Credit&lt;/a&gt; rather than me. You could also bring up the fact that my school has EOC's, or exams which could show that she isn't so smart after all. In addition if you don't know what EOC's are then EOC's are a state test, and exams are a teacher made test. So for the teacher made test (exam) everybody knows that all the teachers are going to make a study guide for it; so she and whoever else cheats has it made on the exam.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However the EOC's are different, it is made by the state; but the teachers also make unbelievable accurate study guides. So all you have to do is study that study guide tons and you will get a lot better grade in the class than someone like me who doesn't cheat. Then once whoever is cheating passes the EOC and gets probably just as good as grade as I do, then I look 10 times dumber. So I just wanted to bring up that point to everybody, how our school systems are working.Thanks for reading my blog and keep on reading my post because I will bring up some great discussions on our school systems and some other topics.

You may have come across many commercial advertisements online or even websites through search engines like Yahoo, MSN, Google that talks about internet paid surveys. One question you probably may have is whether do such paid surveys exist and do they really pay that well. Truth is you must take what you see and read with a pinch of salt. It is definitely untrue that anyone have grown rich out of taking online surveys. No one has and no one will. But people are quietly stashing away good cash to supplement their main income with surveys. So let us study their moves and copy them to really make money with internet paid surveys.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Never re-invent the wheel. Since others have tread the path and paved the way. Follow them and it is safe. Same goes for making money with internet paid surveys. There are some positive thinking and good habits survey takers keep to ensure that they have a constant stream of online paid surveys to do and earn a decent monthly income. One of them is to be realistic and focused on your income goals. Knowing that taking surveys cannot make you rich, you need to set targets like making $500 a month or even making $2000. With proper goal setting, work backwards to calculate the number of internet surveys you need to do in order to achieve your goals. On average, you can earn $5 - $15 out of a simple 15 minute survey. So it should give you a gauge on how much time you should set aside and how many internet paid surveys to take weekly.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Once the goal is set, it is time to duplicate what others are doing to get the internet paid surveys coming consistently. Taking surveys is a numbers game. Top survey income earners are members of hundreds to thousands of survey sites. Not every survey site has a survey for you to do everyday so you need to be signed up with that many market survey companies in order to have a fresh influx of internet paid surveys every single day. Use a free email account to do so because it can be overwhelming when the surveys start flooding your inbox.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Professional survey takers watch their email inboxes like hawks. Your quick response to notification emails is very important. It determines if you are accepted into the survey taking since they only need that many survey takers for their internet paid surveys. So the moral of the story is be fast in responding. After a while, you would get a hang of it and become familiar with the different timings the notification emails are sent out so that you can be right on time. It is a good habit to cultivate.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There are many other tips to make real money out of internet paid surveys.

Some say the root cause is the ever-expanding, worldwide demand for oil, exacerbated by the emerging economic tigers India and China. Others point to oil traders' and speculators' involvement, and even the traders themselves find they are torn by their allegiances. CNBC's Michelle Caruso-Cabrera took umbrage at a Congressman for describing oil company profits as obscene. Explaining that most of their viewers are investors and view profits as a deserved expectation, "What then, Congressman, makes profits obscene?" she asked. "What makes profit obscene?"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That's loyal to the cause. Her counterpart, Joe Kernen, described the oil traders by saying, "I hope that they are happy with their fat wallets as they destroy the American dream!" And that's what makes a panic a panic, traditional alliances are out the window. Last Monday, T. Bone Pickens speculated that oil could reach $150 a barrel by the end of the year. Wednesday, European traders said $200 a barrel by the end of the year, as the mix begins to swirl like a squirrel in a blender.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The third possible cause is that the Bush administration, by allowing the dollar to free fall, has been a using the dollar's fall to kite the war costs by repaying lenders in devalued dollars. The flip side is that, as the dollar's value falls, oil costs rise and so you then have speculation on both ends.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gerard Arpey, chairman and CEO of American Airlines, said last week at the annual shareholders meeting, "The U.S. airline industry, as it is constituted today, was not built for $125- or $130-per-barrel oil. The industry will not and cannot continue in its current state." The fact that four more airlines have liquidated this year and one is operating in Chapter 11 is clear evidence of that fact. The answer for American is to sell off aircraft and reduce capacity to slow the bleeding. Estimates are that fuel increases will cost the airline industry $15 billion in additional fuel costs, this in an industry with around $23 billion in cash.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pick your poison; let the fuel costs kill you or raise fares until the public stops flying. But the airlines are the canary in the coal mine for the trucking companies, food processors, freight haulers and producers of raw materials. A factory that I used to order from gave us free freight on orders over ten thousand dollars. That deal is now out the window. With freight rates up 40%, the ten thousand-dollar order wouldn't cover their own freight costs. That, in turn, lowers margins and encourages dealers to order only as needed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What about the long-suffering mass transit systems across America, long the red-headed stepchildren of Republican administrations? How will they keep the buses running as fuel prices double? How about the cities themselves? How will they foot the increased fuel bill for police, fire departments and ambulances? That's why I like CNBC, they don't try to hide their bias, in fact they revel in it. They are proud of being money-grubbing slugs as they drop into the conversation, "The dollar a gallon rise in fuel prices will cost the average consumer $600.00 a year."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;First, how do they figure a dollar rise? It's more like a dollar and a half here and rapidly heading toward two dollars. Even if we accept the one dollar figure, that's $832 buying one tank a week, at two dollars it's $1,600 per year, and for the average consumer that's not recoverable, except by a massive change in lifestyle. No vacation, no more soccer practice, no more soccer, no more a lot of things. Because the one thing that's for certain is that wages won't rise. Home prices are in free fall so who would build a new home with market uncertainty and rising material costs due to fuel increases?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That's what makes Ms. Caruso-Cabrera's question so poignant, as she knew when asking it that there is no pat answer. A loan shark and a banker are in the same business, it is only by degrees that they differ. A soldier and a murderer do the same job as well, only one is regulated and ordered, the other subjective and capricious, yet both do the obscene. It is only by degrees that we honor one and hang the other. But the question is also telling, selling life jackets to the highest bidder on a sinking ship is just smart capitalism then, isn't it?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Moving the factory to China or India is just good business, but how quickly they turn about. Arch-conservatives like Joe Kernen are suddenly outraged as oil speculators are destroying the American dream! But Joe, it's just good capitalism, the religion of self-centeredness. Oil speculators make a profit and everyone else suffers. So quit your whining, that's the way capitalism works. What did they tell the people in the rust belt? A period of short-term economic difficulties. Well, sit in it, Joe. Soak it all in, we've been here for years and we'll share it all with you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many of the conservatives, like Cabrera, say build nuclear plants or drill in the Arctic as solutions to these problems. The idea is to use the smoke of panic to allow others to profit and thereby save themselves and their own American dreams. Unfortunately, America has been pursuing a failed energy plan for the last seven years. We were to be greeted with flowers and candy and it would all be over in a few weeks and the oil would flow like water from a tap. So what happens when you make a bad investment? What happens when you bet on the wrong horse?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The administration has been scratching their ass and winding their watch, as they don't have a clue as to how to pay for this biggest boondoggle in American history. The President threatens to veto any legislation that helps real estate speculators while the Treasury and the Federal Reserve do just that. The pouring of easy credit into Wall Street, because if Wall Street goes, the dollar goes. The savvy investor sees that money isn't to be made in banking or in real estate on Wall Street anymore, too many losses, too much volatility.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The inflationary spiral is obvious but ignored by Orwellian government statistics. Inflation less food and energy? How about John Kennedy less open car and gun shots? Statistics meant to hide the truth, truth by omission by the incidental lie. A panelist on CNN reported that her neighbors weren't going to drive to their summer home outside of Boston every weekend this year like they did last summer. Gee, me neither, poor baby, but the example makes the point of how the media tries to stifle real suffering in America. To trivialize and marginalize the crisis until it becomes indecipherable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The administration borrows billions to fund the war. The Federal Reserve keeps interest rates low to foster the image of a healthy economy. Wall Street runs up flush with tax-cut cash and invests in banking as a traditionally safe investment. The banking industry jumps into the sub prime market with both feet as well qualified borrowers are becoming obsolete due to stagnant wages. They bundle and sell the loans with a 'what, me worry' attitude.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As the US economy begins to falter, the dollar begins to slide and oil begins to rise. The administration does nothing, they are benefiting from the slide, Laissez les bon temps roulez! Let the good times roll, as even Ben Bernanke claims that this helps the economy. Except that oil is the most basic commodity import; as oil prices rose and the dollar fell, why not invest in oil futures? A good hedge against inflation, a tightly-regulated market, a limited supply, a capitalist's wet dream!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So, you are left with the outraged Joe Kernen conservatives, whose ox has been gored, and the unrepentant Cabrera who cries, More! The transnationals with no obligation to anything but themselves and their profits. Who see in America a cash cow, who hold no obligation to land or the farm, exempt from the pain that they cause and who scream the loudest when they feel in the least. But in the words of Bob Dylan, there's a hard rain gonna fall.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This will be the legacy of terrible policy, fraudulent economics and the voiding of the social compact with the American people. A compact forged after the last time America put the fathers of greed in charge, a compact that, if not renewed and re-founded, will make America unsustainable and its government illegitimate. Good economies build good societies, tyrannical societies build only tyranny, predatory societies build to an explosive velocity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By David Glenn Cox&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=http://cetelem.110mb.com/credit-bateau.html&gt;Credit Bateau&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://cetelem.110mb.com/rachat-credits-revolving.html&gt;Rachat Credits Revolving&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://cetelem.110mb.com/vente-auto.html&gt;Vente Auto&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://cetelem.110mb.com/meilleur-taux-credit-auto.html&gt;Meilleur Taux Credit Auto&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://cetelem.110mb.com/societe-credit-rachat.html&gt;Societe Credit Rachat&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://cetelem.110mb.com/taux.html&gt;Taux&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://cetelem.110mb.com/simulation-pret.html&gt;Simulation Pret&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://cetelem.110mb.com/rachat-credit-revolving.html&gt;Rachat Credit Revolving&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://cetelem.110mb.com/meilleur-taux-credit-voiture.html&gt;Meilleur Taux Credit Voiture&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://cetelem.110mb.com/financer-vehicule.html&gt;Financer Vehicule&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5766181756811229224-5598130719117282831?l=my-opinion42751.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://my-opinion42751.blogspot.com/feeds/5598130719117282831/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5766181756811229224&amp;postID=5598130719117282831' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5766181756811229224/posts/default/5598130719117282831'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5766181756811229224/posts/default/5598130719117282831'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://my-opinion42751.blogspot.com/2008/06/oil-panic-of-2008.html' title='The Oil Panic Of 2008'/><author><name>celez60996</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17712831471147695595</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766181756811229224.post-1964990948987055299</id><published>2008-06-20T15:15:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-20T15:15:12.776-07:00</updated><title type='text'>But This Is Just My Opinion</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Hi, Charles...here, Your Cap and t-shirt guy From Texas. How are you doing today.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have been doing that for the last 18 years. Taking care the needs of my customers and becoming Con fondant and friend.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now I want to be your friend and take care of you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But first I want to tell you a story.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I want to tell you a story about a customer of mine.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Keith lives in Florida he has been a customer of mine for 6 or 7 years. He always get's tshirts for his crew, and has them printed with one print just small over the pocket. I always ask let me print them big on back because you will get more exposure, but he always say's no.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On his last order he bought hats. I put two free t-shirts in with his order. He called me one month later. He said ok Charles because of you I need to hire more men. And I will need to double my order to.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He said, Do you know what has happened to me. Last weekend I was gassing my boat up and a man said to me do you do landscaping. I said yes, then I realized that I had on the shirt that you gave me yes the one that you printed big on the back. Anyway he said that he had a small apartment complex and was tired of trying to take care of it. He asked if I would come and look at it. I said yes I would. Yep I got the contract on his little apartment, 2 year annual contract on his 90 unite apartment complex.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I wanted to call and say that I wouldn't have gotten that contract without that t-shirt you printed big on the back.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Print them all bob from now on. Yes, this is what T-shirts can do for you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These T-shirts are so good that I wished that I had a button that I could push after five years that would go poof then you would have to call me to get them again.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;T-shirts are very good to advertise your company name or event.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The trend I have noticed, is the Manurefactures are not putting pockets on a lot of the colors. So more T-shirts are being sold without pockets. A badge of the smokers that have quite, I guess.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One of the things you need to be aware of is were you live or work. Hot climates go with 100% cotton just go with one size larger.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Taller person go with one size larger.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The T-shirt that I would like to poof is 50/50 wares like lron and last forever.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I ask. If that's is the tshirt that they usually get. I say is it time to change the oil in the shirts. I know that they haven't worn them out.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Don't forget the women. We have a complete section of tees just for the girls and hey, they look better than us anyway.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You better get them girls some T-shirts to, or I will make them there own site. Do you want me to girls.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One other thing only put you logo on name brand Tshirts. Don't listen to, it's just as good. Bemis (blemished) 2nds, or off brands are not worth it, unless you are looking for a rag to wash your hands with.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But this is just my opinion.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;About The Author&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Charles Wheeler has been takeing care of his customers for 18 years.

We hear about change all the time, but instead of motivating us to do something, our politicians only know how to complain - with few real solutions. I'm afraid that it is up to us to make the moves, not our politicians. But make what moves? This is where we become confused.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sitting back and waiting for someone else to do something is not only a cop-out, but is our fundamental problem. Who can do anything about our situation other than ourselves? If we wait for the politicians to help, we could be waiting a long, long time!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The psychology is that the problems are too immense for little us to do anything about them, so we use this as an excuse and do nothing, remaining in our little comfort zones that are not so comfortable any more! We forget about the power of the masses, which is us, and which is formidable! If each of us cut our gasoline consumption 25%, for example, that would make a tremendous difference on prices. The refiners would no longer have an excuse of not enough capacity in their plants to supply our insatiable appetite.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But where do we begin cutting our gasoline consumption? Well, we begin with what we can do individually. We don't wait for someone else to do it; we get out in front of the situation. We approach it as a priority instead of an afterthought, and we do this in every aspect of our lives. How do we do this? We cut down on our consumption, which flies in the face of big business that encourages consumption.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But look where runaway consumption has gotten us. The excesses on Wall Street and the mortgage markets, the rise in food prices, and the rise in commodity prices; it all has to stop, and only we can stop it, because it is no one but us, and our greed and insecurity, that cause the bubbles.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The word is discipline, that repugnant word for which none has a taste. Discipline, obedience, compliance, submission - things that seemingly restrain us and seem counter to a free democracy - but discipline actually frees us, and that is the enigma of discipline. Freedom sounds better, to do as we please, but this freedom has led us into buying the biggest gas guzzlers that we can't afford, in order to stroke our insecure egos so that we can sit up higher than the other guy or gal, or look more threatening in our big diesel pickup trucks. We act like children in school yards.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Or we indulge in consuming just for the sake of the psychological boost, such as buying enough clothes and shoes to fill ten walk-in closets! How to cure this? Stop being unintelligent and indulgent when buying things. Do without for a change and see how you feel. After you get over the withdrawal, you might be surprised and accumulate some different values along the way.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We have the endless garage sales, and still must rent storage units to alleviate the tons of stuff we accumulate. And then complain about prices going up for Chinese goods (Chinese "bads?")&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;None of us wants to work in a factory any longer; that's for the lower class; all we want to do is sit around and manage our portfolios. But that's not going to work either - everybody managing portfolios! So how to cure this? Fight for higher wages and health benefits however you can and as often as you can. Believe me, your large employers can afford it, they just prefer to stroke the stock holders.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And if your employer is a small businessperson who won't pay you a livable wage or provide healthcare because he or she can't afford it, then they should get a real job for themselves where they might have to work for a living instead of hiding behind the perceived notion of entrepreneurship where they don't think that they have to work for a boss. Actually, they have many bosses; all of their creditors!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But to do anything requires restraint. Discipline is the first step of any rehabilitation program, any religious order, and any sane way of life. If we are undisciplined as individuals, our entire country will reflect our disorderly conduct, and soon we will have the type of chaos that is now just beginning. Discipline is taking responsibility for ourselves and sacrificing what we want for what is good for society.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But few want to help anyone except themselves. So how do we cure this?... Well, we can meditate to begin with. Meditation is the fastest and surest way to not only become disciplined, but to see what we are doing regarding careless and indulgent actions. And if we can't even sit quietly for a few minutes every day in meditation, how can we discipline ourselves to do anything?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, non-compassionate, selfish attitudes create a dog-eat-dog world, and this is what we see developing here in the good 'ol U.S. of A. We can't even agree to help the sick and poor who can't afford health care or the outrageous cost of drugs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When we collectively turn our backs on our fellow human beings, believe me we had better start watching our own backs, because we will soon become "them." How to cure this? First of all, take a frank assessment of your attitudes, and adjust them if you don't like what you see. Meditation will help.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The deceptive attitude of big business can't be demonstrated better than the misleading P. R. commercials now airing by the drug companies. These commercials promote a bus going around the country helping poor people who can't afford their overpriced drugs! While the drug companies charge Americans three hundred percent or more than the rest of the world for drugs, just because we don't control our drug prices, while other countries that have socialized medicine do.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How to cure this? If possible, tell your doctor that you don't want his drugs, or the drug companies that funded the doctor's education. And that you have the discipline to regiment your lifestyle and heal yourself naturally. And vote for whomever has the best socialized medicine proposal. And maybe even go to a doctor who promotes alternative medicine, you know, that stuff without side effects!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I just don't think that we are going to spend our way out of this one. Our national credit card, compliments of the rest of the world, is due for one of those nasty letters informing us that our interest rate has doubled. And it's too late to tear it up now.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's time for different values, other than what we can buy... on credit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;E.

Then when it comes to protecting the consumer the FTC fails on all accounts. SPAM increased by 4600% since the FTC took on the task, and in the first six months the FTC could not even come up with a definition of what SPAM was?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Identity Theft - yah, well don't hold your breath; that has increased 10-fold since the FTC took on the case, meanwhile the FTC's own employees lost critical personal data when their lap tops were stolen? Go figure and now they tell us they will help us prevent high oil prices? Ha ha ha. The FTC goes after bloggers who engage in Buzz Marketing, but when it comes to Commodity Traders, artificially hyping the doom and gloom of oil supply, where is the FTC?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Commodity Traders go on the financial news stations, tell of the terrible Nigerian pipeline problems, Venezuela crisis, Iranian future war and the non-existent Hurricane Season of 2007 thus, running up the price of a barrel of Sweet Crude, which they just happen to fully vested in. When the price goes up they stand to make a financial killing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So, what is the FTC doing? Running around giving seminars on telemarketing and how to protect yourself from Spammers who try to coax information out of you, [phishing] while the average American family can no longer fill up their gas tanks. But don't despair the FTC says it is now on the trail, ha ha ha, what does that mean, by 2012 they will announce 3-pending cases on low-level commodity investors who the industry threw to the dogs?

I presume they feel that the butt is better outside their vehicle instead of inside their precious vehicle. You know why litter the ride with those unsightly little white, grey, charcoal, black and some orange colored round bits of death.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why is littering butts such a bad way of thinking since they are made from natural products?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Well I can think of one right off. FOREST FIRES not to mention most deadly products come from natural products in their raw form for example the nuclear bomb, cyanide and plastic. I know that a nuclear bomb is much more hazardous to the environment than one butt but what about the millions upon millions that litter our streets, highways and rivers. I wonder if a fish would enjoy a smoke?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now enough of this line of reasoning.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The reality is if a person doesn't mind chucking out a cigarette butt the window then what about other types of garbage?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yes as I was driving down the road behind a silver car I saw one butt fly out the window then a second butt but it didn't just stop there a couple of minutes later there goes a plastic wrapper out the window I guess the driver wanted to keep his car clean and not the environment. I wonder if he had a cup, tissue, plastic wrapper or banana peel where it would go if he was in his car. Oh yes into our beautiful littered landscape. No sense littering in the car when we have the beautiful outdoor world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I guess the smoking litterer is really only looking out for themselves and forgetting that we are all a part of a wonderful multicolored blue and green marble called the earth. Hopefully they will make a change in the live style from "Green What's That?" to Green what a wonderful color.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Author: Bryan Bracken - &lt;a target="_new" href="http://www.profitmart101.com"&gt;http://www.profitmart101.com&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt;Discover how you can get an effective selling website which&lt;br&gt;is fast to set up, easy to manage and profitable.&lt;br&gt;Also Visit our Blog and Discover: &lt;a target="_new" href="http://profitmart101.com/profitmart101_blog/"&gt;http://profitmart101.com/profitmart101_blog/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=http://creditcetelem.110mb.com/pret-immobilier.html&gt;Pret Immobilier&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://creditcetelem.110mb.com/credit-and-voiture.html&gt;Credit And Voiture&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://creditcetelem.110mb.com/credit-travaux.html&gt;Credit Travaux&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://creditcetelem.110mb.com/pret-fonctionnaire.html&gt;Pret Fonctionnaire&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://creditcetelem.110mb.com/permis-moto-stage.html&gt;Permis Moto Stage&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://creditcetelem.110mb.com/rachats-credits.html&gt;Rachats Credits&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://creditcetelem.110mb.com/offre-credit-consommation.html&gt;Offre Credit Consommation&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://creditcetelem.110mb.com/prets-travaux.html&gt;Prets Travaux&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://creditcetelem.110mb.com/pret-moto.html&gt;Pret Moto&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://creditcetelem.110mb.com/credit-automobile.html&gt;Credit Automobile&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5766181756811229224-4327160790796497102?l=my-opinion42751.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://my-opinion42751.blogspot.com/feeds/4327160790796497102/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5766181756811229224&amp;postID=4327160790796497102' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5766181756811229224/posts/default/4327160790796497102'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5766181756811229224/posts/default/4327160790796497102'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://my-opinion42751.blogspot.com/2008/06/smoking-litterer-green-whats-that-my.html' title='The Smoking Litterer - Green What&apos;s That? - My Rant'/><author><name>celez60996</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17712831471147695595</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766181756811229224.post-263239490688310112</id><published>2008-06-19T15:07:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-19T15:07:49.446-07:00</updated><title type='text'>10 Parenting Tips To Help Your Kids Perform Better in Life</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Want your children to perform better in life and enjoy more success?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here are ten tips that will help you to motivate your children to perform better...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. Shower praise and encouragement on them. This is a great way to inspire your children to perform better.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. Provide safe and supportive environment to your children. Laugh and Play with them. Do things together. Talk with them. Let them express their opinion and feelings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. Allow your children to explore and build their natural abilities and interest. For example, if your son is interested in painting, let him paint. Encourage him to participate in painting competitions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4. Appreciate and praise whatever abilities and qualities your children have. Never compare your children with others and criticize them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;5. Don't just ask about tests and grades. Frequently ask your children what new things they are learning in school. What fun they had. This helps to create a positive impression in your children's mind that school is also about learning and fun, not just exams.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;6. Celebrate your children's every achievement, even if it's small. Hang your children's craftwork or schoolwork on a wall or refrigerator.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;7. Talk with your children regularly to make sure they are not feeling overwhelmed with study work, extracurricular activities and other work. If they are, help them prioritize their work. Ask them to do the most important work first and leave the less important work to the last.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;8. Try to remove your children's fear and weaknesses. The best way to do it is to encourage your children to focus on their strength and good qualities.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;9. Make sure your children eat healthy, nutritious food. Also, never allow your children to go to school without a good breakfast in the morning. As research shows that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and influences mental performance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;10. Encourage your children to exercise for 30 minutes a day. This keeps the body fit and healthy. Also, make sure your children sleep for at least 7 or 8 hours. Good sleep provides adequate rest to brain which helps to learn better and remember more.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;All the above tips are simple. If you use them regularly, you will see immense improvement in your children's confidence and success.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Also, if you want to make success more easy for your children, then you can encourage them to take part in the free Success Mindware training available at &lt;a target="_new" href="http://www.mindpowerguide.biz"&gt;http://www.mindpowerguide.biz&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Want more parenting tips?

Pretty simple. "You shall not kill." Any questions?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Well of course there are questions. Even Dirty Harry said "some people need killin'." Killing is what the religions of "the Book" do best when push comes to shove. Both say "You shall not kill," and yet both kill, often and with great enthusiasm at times. Actually all religions that have exclusive ownership of the Deity's truth are killers when they run out of ideas of just how to logically explain the Good News and spread it. What "You shall not kill," tends to mean is "each other," but that also proves, in fact, to be a joke.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The entire Old Testament is filled with the exploits of a god that demands that these special people "do not kill," and yet do nothing but kill all those that get in the way of them and their God. If your last name ended in "kites or ites," you were pretty much going to get anhilated sooner or later by the people of the God who said, "You shall not kill." If you were the wives, daughters, sons and babies of the same, you also had had it...oh and your animals too.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I know Christians, I guess that's what they call themselves, who say that we just need to kill all Islamics and turn Iraq and Iran into a smoking parking lot, for Jesus. These people really do have shit for brains when it comes to discerning the spirituality of their religious heroes. They sing Onward Christian soldiers far too often and with way too much enthusiasm. I hate that hymn. I do love the verse that says "Like a mighty army moves the church of God; Brothers, we are treading where the saints have trod. We are not divided, all one body we, One in hope and doctrine, one in charity." The fact is that "the Church" is far from not divided and they are about as one in hope and doctrine as the Taliban and Hari Krishnas. I'd say than the Baptists and the Taliban, but they are way too much alike in hope and doctrine. Maybe that's why they can't seem to get a grip on this "You shall not kill" thing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When Moses went up onto Mount Sinai to receive the Ten Commandments (Exodus 19:20), he left the Israelites for forty days and forty nights (Exodus 24:18). The Israelites feared that he would not return, and asked Aaron to make gods for them (Exodus 32:1). The Bible does not note Aaron's opinion of this request, merely that he complied, and gathered up the Israelites' golden earrings. He melted them and constructed the golden calf. The calf came to mind and was worshipped because this was the time in history when Taurus the Bull was the sign of the zodiac that dominated the Spring Equinox. Religions tend to worship the animal that occupied this sign in terms of astro-theology. This would be around 2000 BC when Taurus was passing out of this position due to the procession of the equinoxes and Aries the Lamb was taking it's place. At any rate, Aaron makes an altar and they all have a party. Bad move.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;God decides to kill the people, even though He just wrote "You shall not kill" with his own finger. Moses begged him to rethink this position. (Exodus 32:11); the Lord relented. Moses went down from the mountain, but upon seeing the calf, he too became angry. He threw down the tablets upon which God's law had been written, and broke them. Moses then burnt the golden calf in the fire, ground it to powder, scattered it on water, and forced the Israelites to drink it. After a bit of an interview with Aaron, Moses had "every man slay his neighbor and in that day about 3000 perished." He then picked up the Ten Commandments I suppose and told them "You shall not kill." Go figure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Great stuff! Moses is standing there with the words "You shall not kill," in his arms and what happens? He goes ballistic, puts the tablets down and no doubt thinks, "we'll discuss this later," and orders the slaughter of 3000 or so people who were afraid after over a month, the man had gotten lost, died or went back to Egypt and forgot to mention it. To make it more personal, "every man was to slay his neighbor." Sure, easy enough.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It doesn't take a rocket scientist, as they say, to see why Fundamentalist Christians, Zionist Devotees and governments that swear they trust in God, get their ideas about what exactly "You shall not kill" means in practical fact. Here are several examples of how "You shall not kill" works.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kill all who do not listen to their priests. Great idea! Even if they are wrong, no one is going to mention it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death. Such evil must be purged from Israel." (Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kill Witches, which today means environmentalists, Wiccans and those who go to church by sitting on rocks in rivers and in the mountains to think quietly about what life means to them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"You should not let a sorceress live." (Exodus 22:17 NAB)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Of course, Kill Homosexuals.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives." (Leviticus 20:13 NAB)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kill the nice lady who is a Fortuneteller. That's the job of the Priests and male Prophets.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"A man or a woman who acts as a medium or fortuneteller shall be put to death by stoning; they have no one but themselves to blame for their death." (Leviticus 20:27 NAB)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kill the kids who get a bit too angry with issues unresolved. Abraham taking Isaac up to sacrifice him without discussing it comes to mind.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Whoever strikes his father or mother shall be put to death. (Exodus 21:15 NAB)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kill the kids who don't hit the folks, but verbally respond inappropriately. The lamp going out thing is not mom and dad sayin' "night, night" as we might think.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"If one curses his father or mother, his lamp will go out at the coming of darkness." (Proverbs 20:20 NAB)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Death for Adultery. Please keep in mind here, the issue is taking a man's property, not romance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"If a man commits adultery with another man's wife, both the man and the woman must be put to death. (Leviticus 20:10 NLT)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And for hormone flushed teens and single people, Death for Fornication. Prominent teens are a great example to others.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"A priest's daughter who loses her honor by committing fornication and thereby dishonors her father also, shall be burned to death." (Leviticus 21:9 NAB)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Death to Followers of Other Religions, which would be most of the planet. Notice, there are other gods in this context, but the jealous god won't tolerate it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Whoever sacrifices to any god, except the Lord alone, shall be doomed." (Exodus 22:19 NAB)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kill Nonbelievers, which again would be most humans.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman." (2 Chronicles 15:12-13 NAB)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kill False Prophets, which would have included Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel if you asked the right questions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"If a man still prophesies, his parents, father and mother, shall say to him, "You shall not live, because you have spoken a lie in the name of the Lord." When he prophesies, his parents, father and mother, shall thrust him through." (Zechariah 13:3 NAB)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kill the Entire Town if One Person Worships Another God&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"...you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock. Then you must pile all the plunder in the middle of the street and burn it. Put the entire town to the torch as a burnt offering to the LORD your God." Deuteronomy 13:13-19.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kill Women Who Are Not Virgins On Their Wedding Night. Oi, How do they figure out who is and who isn't and who collects this information?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"But if this charge is true, and evidence of the girls virginity is not found, they shall bring the girl to the entrance of her fathers house and there her townsman shall stone her to death... (Deuteronomy 22:20-21 NAB)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kill Followers of Other Religions especially if they are you beloved partner or intimate friend.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"If your own full brother, or your son or daughter, or your beloved wife, or you intimate friend, entices you secretly to serve other gods...kill him... (Deuteronomy 13:7-12 NAB)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kill Anyone, but Levites, who Approaches the Tabernacle&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"...Whenever the Tabernacle is moved, the Levites will take it down and set it up again. Anyone else who goes too near the Tabernacle will be executed.' (Numbers 1:48-51 NLT)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kill People for Working on the Sabbath. No wonder attendance is down.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"...Work six days only, but the seventh day must be a day of total rest. I repeat: Because the LORD considers it a holy day, anyone who works on the Sabbath must be put to death.' (Exodus 31:12-15 NLT)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Don't even thing of being curious or wonder if what you are told is true. (How long does it take 50,000 ment to look into the ark?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"And he smote of the men of Beth-shemesh, because they had looked into the ark of Jehovah, he smote of the people seventy men, `and' fifty thousand men... (1Samuel 6:19-20 ASV)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kill Sons of Sinners. Seems a bit unfair to me, but what do I know. This could make certain government types nervous.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Make ready to slaughter his sons for the guilt of their fathers; Lest they rise and posses the earth, and fill the breadth of the world with tyrants. (Isaiah 14:21 NAB)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kill Men, Women, and Children, which is an oft repeated command.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Then I heard the LORD say to the other men, "Follow him through the city and kill everyone whose forehead is not marked. Show no mercy; have no pity! Kill them all  old and young, girls and women and little children." (Ezekiel 9:5-7 NLT)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Generally mean killing. Be sure to kill the kids so the parents can die seeing it happen.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Anyone who is captured will be run through with a sword. Their little children will be dashed to death right before their eyes. Their homes will be sacked and their wives raped by the attacking hordes. For I will stir up the Medes against Babylon, and no amount of silver or gold will buy them off. The attacking armies will shoot down the young people with arrows. They will have no mercy on helpless babies and will show no compassion for the children. (Isaiah 13:15-18 NLT)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Makes you wonder about those folks that demand the Ten Commandments be displayed in the State House doens't it?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why is it that Judaism and Christianity in particular trumpet their great laws and rules for good living, such as we think we find in the Ten Commandments, and are the worst killers on the planet at times? Why are there a hundred exceptions to the simple truth of "You shall not kill," to where it is a meaningless law? Why has the Christian church murdered and slaughtered it's way into the hearts of good Christians everywhere and somehow it's ok both historically and to this very day? I'd say it has a lot to do with thinking that somehow all of the above examples are still the way to go and how God still wishes things to be. Frankly it's what you get when you mix the new wine in the old wineskin, but they don't seem to find that a reason to stop dong it. Killing others is a pure power ploy on the part of the perverted, it seems to me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In many ways, the Ten Commandments are not as deeply spiritual truths as some would make them out to be. The reason one is not allowed to worship other gods is because this God is apparently a jealous one and won't tolerate the worship of other gods. Notice it doesn't say there aren't any, it just says worship of them is not tolerated by this jealous God. Jealousy implies competition.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rules about killing seemed to mean "each other," as noted. Rules about coveting seemed to include women as the property of another man you should not covet and the reason you don't commit adultery. It's not about love. The other woman was property, like the ox and ass. You don't take your neighbors property, well your Israelite neighbor's at least&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rules about stealing went unheeded wholesale in plundering defeated nations and often it was the young virgins "that had never known a man," that were part of the booty, however the heck you figure that out, don't ask. Israelite men, who no doubt grew weary of killing the good looking women, finally had the laws of killing amended such that if they found a virgin they liked and wanted to play with, they could spare her and enjoy after a thirty day mourning period for her parents that, no doubt, were killed before her eyes. So see, rules can change too. Well we see that in our own government that makes one set of rules for the masses and then exceptions for themselves.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But back to this killing thing. Why does it not mean what it says to the two major spiritualities, so called, that claim ownership of the rules?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For the most part it seems that killing is ok when it is defensive killing. The problem is that in the eye of the killers, all killing is defensive. Killing seems to be ok when a person or a country feels "threatened." Actually there are no "attackers" on the entire planet earth, only "defenders," as noted by Neil Donald Walsh. Everyone who attacks someone is merely defending something and that makes it ok. Whatever "you shall not kill" was supposed to mean, it has no meaning in practical fact or&lt;br&gt;practice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Personally, much of the injunctions to kill "men, women, children and all their cattle" seems to issue forth mostly from the prophets, who seem to me to have symptoms similar to schizophrenia and rank narcissism for the Lord. I have written elsewhere on the topic of asking whether much of what passes for religious belief and devotion on the part of those that want to extend the Old Testament ways of governing to other, might in fact be mental illness disguised under the garb of devote religion. Actually I believe it often is, including some of the most kill oriented leaders, under "God", in the Bible, both Old and New Testaments. Maybe it's time to declare modern religion to be "Non-Prophet."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Is there a time to kill others? I suppose so. Solomon thought so. But killing seems to be what you do when you run out of other ideas like talking, discussing, tolerating and remembering that all people don't view things the same way as others. Everyone has different experiences and just happens to grow up where they grow up, no one having asked them permission to have it be as it is.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Palenstinians kill because they are being pushed out. Israelis kill because they are being pushed at. Iraqis kill because they are being over run and taken advantage of, and Americans kill because they are told it is to protect our freedoms and keep them from coming "over here." Some Christian types kill because you or I won't believe their tall tales about how close they are in touch with the true Church or ways of the true Deity and how out of whack our particular ideas are to theirs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Close down all religious reactions and motives for a month and see how peaceful the front page reads and how much less anguish, crying and shock over the deaths of loved ones occurs. Just a thought. God save me from your followers, as they say. Makes me nervous to think we have those in government who think there is a bridge between the Bible and religion and secular government instead of a wall. It's SEPARATION of Church and State and Freedom of ALL religion, not just the chosen ones.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Whatever "You shall not kill" means to Christians and those of the "the Book," it really means nothing discernable in the real world of religion. Something is really sick about how devotees interperate their spirituality. Perhaps it's only about power and control of others after all. "He who kills the first one, has obviously run out of sane ideas."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"You shall not kill." Perhaps we need to either practice it and not just recite it, or get a new text with a bit fewer repulsive examples of how it is to be administered.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=http://creditcetelem.110mb.com/credit-demande-ligne.html&gt;Credit Demande Ligne&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://creditcetelem.110mb.com/credits-a-consommation.html&gt;Credits A Consommation&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://creditcetelem.110mb.com/annonce-automobile.html&gt;Annonce Automobile&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://creditcetelem.110mb.com/rachat-credit-consommation.html&gt;Rachat Credit Consommation&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://creditcetelem.110mb.com/maison-credit-consommation.html&gt;Maison Credit Consommation&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://creditcetelem.110mb.com/pret-auto-personnel.html&gt;Pret Auto Personnel&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://creditcetelem.110mb.com/autos-occasion.html&gt;Autos Occasion&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://creditcetelem.110mb.com/credit-consommation-taux.html&gt;Credit Consommation Taux&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://creditcetelem.110mb.com/credit-meilleurs-taux.html&gt;Credit Meilleurs Taux&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://creditcetelem.110mb.com/meilleur-pret-perso.html&gt;Meilleur Pret Perso&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5766181756811229224-8083261754867888725?l=my-opinion42751.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://my-opinion42751.blogspot.com/feeds/8083261754867888725/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5766181756811229224&amp;postID=8083261754867888725' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5766181756811229224/posts/default/8083261754867888725'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5766181756811229224/posts/default/8083261754867888725'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://my-opinion42751.blogspot.com/2008/06/you-shall-not-kill-has-no-meaning-in.html' title='&quot;You Shall Not Kill&quot; Has No Meaning In the Real World of Religion'/><author><name>celez60996</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17712831471147695595</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766181756811229224.post-3722209997130418737</id><published>2008-06-19T03:03:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-19T03:03:05.127-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Surrogate Votergate</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;"Vote for Marshbaum! Get your vote recorded early!"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Main Street, shouting and scaring away dogs, Marshbaum was campaigning furiously, stopping almost every carbon form within 30 feet of him. In one hand was a sign, "Change With Obama." In his other hand was "3 a.m. Hillary."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"You are running for President?" I asked somewhat skeptically.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Didn't you read the signs?" asked an incredulous Marshbaum, upset that even a journalist could miss props that large. "I'm accepting votes for Obama or Hillary."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"You're doing what?!"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Accepting votes," he said matter-of-factly. "Whoever gives me the most money is the one I'm voting for."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Obama and Hillary certainly aren't paying you to vote?"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Don't be ridiculous," said Marshbaum, "they only paid voters in the Iowa caucuses. I'm after Republicans." With the Pennsylvania primary expected to give either Obama or Clinton the final momentum for the Democratic nomination, Marshbaum had figured out how to provide a nefarious service and be paid for it without governmental interference, something Republicans crave in the free market economy. "If more Republicans give me money for Obama, I'll vote for him in April. If more give me money for Hillary, then it's wake-up time in America, and she becomes the favorite for commander-in-chief."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Why would Republicans pay you to vote for Democrats?"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"With Bush's approval rating around 18 percent and McCain getting the nomination, the Republicans need to believe they again matter-like when they could pock-mark the environment, write unconstitutional laws, and start wars without anyone objecting. By voting for a Democrat, like they could in Wisconsin, Ohio, and Texas, they can regain their voice."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"So, you're taking money from Republicans who aren't allowed to cross over in Pennsylvania, and you'll vote for whichever candidate has accumulated the most money for your scam."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Yep." That's all he said. "Yep."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"This sounds terribly illegal."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Are you crazy?" he asked. "It's done all the time. Every politician has his or her price. Check with the K Street lobbyists. They'll tell you the going rate." I was about to agree with him, when he nailed home yet another truth. "In Chicago, dead people often voted. I think there's some kind of secret sauce in the embalming fluid that allows it."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"That's Chicago," I said, "the cold winds damage brains, but what's it have to do with Pennsylvania?"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"For decades, Philadelphia ward bosses rounded up drunks, deadbeats, and just about anyone who needed a few extra bucks. They went into the voting booths with them, and then paid them five bucks for the-how shall I say this?-the right vote."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I believe all that ended with a few legal challenges," I said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Precedent," Marshbaum said. "If there's anything legal about it, then whatever happened before is what happens next. Didn't you learn anything in Journalism School?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Even if buying votes is legal, it's still unethical and immoral."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"How dare you accuse me of that!" he said, a fake tear coming through his outrage. "Other politicians may take the money and double-cross their customers. I deliver what I say I deliver."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Even if this is all legal and ethical-which I doubt-doesn't this subvert the democratic process?"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"As if lobbyists, backroom deals, and a billion dollars for TV ad campaigns don't?"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I was about to respond, but three TV camera crews shoved me and two homeless and uninsured combat veterans aside to get Marshbaum's story. Between the microphones, Marshbaum looked at me. He knew-and he knew that I knew-that his story would make network news, and gather even more income for the Marshbaum Fund for Disingenuous Politicians, Press, and People.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Walter Brasch's latest book is Sinking the Ship of State: The Presidency of George W.

Favre is not only the best quarterback of all time, but he is also one of the best (and most beloved) athletes of all time for ANY sport, in my most humble opinion. I realize that's a bold statement, but I truly believe it, and I don't apologize for it. But admittedly, I'm biased. I'm a huge Green Bay Packers fan, and an even bigger Brett Favre fan. But I'm not making my claim listing him as the best with my Favre blinders on, either. I think I can actually make a good case.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I've seen a lot of top 10 lists recently, each listing their own picks for the best NFL quarterbacks of all time. They seem to be sprouting up from everywhere. I can respect any list that places Favre in the top 5. You don't have to have him at #1 like I do. I understand that different people like different QBs for different reasons. If you have Montana, Marino, Elway, or someone similar ahead of Favre on your own list of best NFL quarterbacks, I can respect that. I won't argue with you, even if I don't agree with you. You have your opinion and I have mine.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But, what I DON'T understand are the lists that barely have Favre in their top 10. I saw one list with Brett listed at #7 and another at #8. WHAT??? ARE YOU KIDDING ME???&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Brett Favre holds every major career passing record there is. For that reason alone, don't you HAVE to place him in the top 5?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So are these guys that are barely placing Favre in their top 10 just Favre haters? Or are they out of their minds?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I've heard arguments about only having 1 Superbowl win. That's hogwash. That doesn't mean anything. Dan Marino (who should also be on most Top 5 lists) has ZERO Superbowl wins. Eli Manning has one. Does that mean that Eli is a better, more accomplished QB than Marino? Not even close! And that's not a knock on Eli. Eli has potential, but he's no Dan Marino or Brett Favre.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Brett Favre's numbers alone earn him a top 5 spot, but it's for other reasons he's #1 with me. I'm not alone, either, and I'm in good company:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In a Fox Sports article entitled, 'Favre is the Best in the Business', four time superbowl winner, hall of fame quarterback, and current football analyst, Terry Bradshaw said, "Brett Favre is the best quarterback I've ever seen play. I will say it again. I have documented it. I put it on the cover of a book. He's the best there ever was and that covers everybody."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And in a March 4, 2008 Chicago Tribune article entitled, 'Urlacher: Favre best QB ever', Bears' pro bowl linebacker and NFL defensive player of the year in 2005, Brian Urlacher states, "He's No. 1. He has only one ring, but that doesn't matter. Dan Marino never won a Super Bowl, and some people consider him the best. I consider Brett Favre the best."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So, whether you place Brett Favre at the #1 all-time spot or just a bit lower on your list of best NFL quarterbacks, a few things are indisputable. Brett is first in wins, he is first in TD passes, he is first in passing yards, he is first in passes thrown and completed, he is first in consecutive starts, and he is first in the hearts and minds of many football fans. Brett is loved, respected, and admired by many who love the game of football, and he will always be #1 in my book.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That's one guy's opinion - worth what you paid for it!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chris M.

It is so important that without it nothing would ever be accomplished. Recently, I, and two other people, gave a presentation at a council meeting to ask for their support in persuading the Ontario government to enact legislation, which would see the Ontarians with Disabilities Act (ODA) become law. While I was extremely nervous, I managed to read a paragraph of my speech without passing out, which I felt like I would do. I had a friend read the whole speech eventually, but I had to let people hear the way I speak in order for them to understand my mission. I chose to talk about communication - imagine that, and I figured that I would share it with you with some changes here and there of course.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Communication is at the heart of everything in this city and in this province. It is so important that without it nothing would ever be accomplished. Recently, I, and two other people, gave a presentation at a council meeting to ask for their support in persuading the Ontario government to enact legislation, which would see the Ontarians with Disabilities Act (ODA) become law. While I was extremely nervous, I managed to read a paragraph of my speech without passing out, which I felt like I would do. I had a friend read the whole speech eventually, but I had to let people hear the way I speak in order for them to understand my mission. I chose to talk about communication - imagine that, and I figured that I would share it with you with some changes here and there of course.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Communication works on three levels. The first is writing and speaking, which is what I'm doing now. The second level is listening and processing what you are reading or hearing. The third, and most important, is getting the message from your brain where it has been intellectually processed to your heart where the real work begins. If you have intellectually processed it well, you knew the whys, whens, wheres, whats, and whos, so you know all the facts. Now, when you process all these facts in your heart, it takes compassion and understanding with an open mind to develop a proper evaluation of the situation. When you have compassion and understanding mixed with the intellectual knowledge, you can make good, solid decisions when your heart is in it. This is the basis of any valuable and worthwhile communication.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now than I have given you a brief lesson on the art of communication, I'm going to ask you to consider, for a moment, the impact that an Ontarians with Disabilities Act (ODA) would have on our society. Think of pregnant women or women with baby strollers walking into a public building with heavy, awkward doors to open and even one step to climb let alone three or four. How many of you men have heard complaints around this issue? What did you do about it? Think of aging parents who are healthy but still find moving to be hard because of the wear and tear throughout the years. Think of the person who breaks both legs in an accident and has to use a wheelchair for a while. However, this person can't get into public washrooms or around stores and restaurants as well as other public places. These are all people who would benefit from a strong, solid, mandatory ODA.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Even through the blur of the evening when I was finished reading my speech at the council meeting, I wondered who actually understand my very nervous attempt at talking in public. Our councilors and mayor will never be the same. How many of them were asking why on earth I was allowed to do it? Actually, I asked myself the same thing as I could almost feel my eyeballs rolling back into my head. Anyway, I am well aware of the atmosphere at council meetings, and I'm really surprised that they let me do it. My sole purpose for doing what I did was to open the lines of communication. Even though we went to council specifically seeking a resolution of support, we also wanted to educate them, and we had to do it by presenting ourselves the way we are. If we didn't do it the way we did (council also received Braille handouts), then they wouldn't have felt the impact of the point we wanted to get across to them. There's nothing like a good dose of shock treatment to open people's eyes. I just hope that this will lead to a better understanding of disabled people, not only at city hall, but also throughout this whole area by way of the ripple effect.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This world doesn't consist of two separate groups of people.

Senator Obama is no different and has told the media and pundits to; "Lay off my wife!" Indeed, in considering this carefully, I came up with a few comments of my own accord and opinion;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Okay Barrack H. Obama, then why don't you have your wife lay off my country and stop trashing it. Do we have a deal - of course not, because we know she will not change her tone; remember when Michelle Obama stated:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country. And not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change. And I have been desperate to see our country moving in that direction."&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; - Michelle Obama&lt;br&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Or if that does not bother you, how about this gem:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;America is just downright mean."&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; - Michelle Obama&lt;br&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Well, actually Michelle, the United States is the greatest and most generous nation in the history of mankind. I am thus, tired of the Obama's negative campaigning and terroristic comments, as they are aiding our enemies. No wonder Obama has received the endorsement from Hamas, Hugo Chavez, Iran and Al Qaeda; may I ask why Obama's candidacy is favored by terrorists. Further I have a few more questions for Senator Obama:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Obama, why did you brag to HS students about your druggie years?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Why did you belong to a radical church?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Why do associate with uni-bomber types?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Why did you do a super steal real estate deal with a member of organized crime?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Why did you take $8,000 per month from a government contractor?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Why do you want to gut the military?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Why did you conveniently and consistently not vote in Il?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Why do you have the most liberal voting record in the Senate?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Why do the most leftist politicians in America support you?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Why do you race bait?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Why do you take money from &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://moveon.org/"&gt;MoveOn.org&lt;/a&gt;, founded by George Soros, an admitted socialist?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;Answer me that, and I'll give you another 20-more questions, I am tired of your free media ride, I am tired of the charade and I am tired of you dominating my TV set, radio and internet. Go away, my goat, cattle and dog are vastly more qualified than you in my opinion. Ever heard of the imposter phenomena Obama? I truly believe you could be the new poster child or perhaps get a job as an Actor for a Crest Commercial, once your stardom crashes into the political bone yard or has beens.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Lance Winslow" - Online &lt;a target="_new" href="http://www.bloggingcontent.net/"&gt;Blog Content Service&lt;/a&gt;.

Cottrell, Wanta's financial consultant and AmeriTrust Groupe Inc., treasurer.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Wanta earlier had given U.S. authorities until the close of business on July 31 to honor a written agreement and release the massive sum of money to his AmeritTrust Groupe on behalf of the American people.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The trillion dollar deal, which would immediately revitalize and give the American economy a needed boost, however, amounts to only a portion of the $27.5 trillion in offshore funds Wanta accumulated after the Cold War when he was assigned by President Ronald Reagan to devalue and destabilize the Russian currency.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"Apparently, the White House is using California time as a deadline to release the money and it should be a long night," said Cottrell, who said the main parties of AmeriTrust, including Ambassador Wanta, were waiting to hear directly from the White House, as President Bush appears to be the only one standing between "a done deal" or backing out of the written agreement fashioned by two federal court judges.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Cottrell added he has always remained positive the money would be released before Wanta's deadline expired, saying in case it isn't AmeriTrust is prepared to file a federal law suit against governmental interests illegally blocking the deal and blocking them from paying $1.6 trillion in U.S. and state tax money, as well as using the balance of the "qausi public" money to immediately improve basic needs and infrastructure improvements.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Asked about the release of the money late Monday afternoon, Christopher Story, editor of the International Currency Review, a London based financial publication following the explosive international story, said a Florida contact in the financial community aware of the worldwide ramifications gave the chances of the money being released "a nine on a scale of 10."&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Both Story and Cottrell will be appearing Tuesday on Greg Szymanski's radio show, The Investigative Journal, to explain the final outcome of the Monday night Wanta negotiations, either reporting the money had been released with proper receipt or to explain Wanta's plan to recover the money earmarked for the American people.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Wanta and Cottrell both previously stated if the money isn't released by the end of business on July 31, they planned to file a federal law suit and to further seek recovery of the entire offshore funds estimated at between $27.5 and $70 trillion.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Here is a breakdown of the negotiated Wanta Plan, indicating a healthy injection of liquid funds are right around the corner if the American people wake-up before it's too late:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The agreement provides for the prepayment of taxes to the US Treasury, at a rate of 35% of the $4.5 trillion, equating to $1,575 trillion, together with prepayment of taxation to the State of Virginia at 6%, amounting to some $270 billion.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In addition, Wanta through his AmeriTrust Groupe, Inc., has put financial mechanisms in place for the further generation of corporation tax deposits payable to the U.S. Treasury Department/Internal Revenue Service of about $96 billion per banking day.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Because of financing transactions which will consequently be carried out by other U.S. financial institutions, estimated total windfall accruals to the U.S. Treasury are likely to exceed $200 billion per banking day, from the moment of start-up. This is now running nearly three months late.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Wanta, the legal trustor of more than $27.5 trillion dollars in offshore funds illegally diverted by the last three Presidential administrations, recently entered into a $4.5 trillion settlement with U.S. authorities on the direction of two federal court judges.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;However, President Bush and Fed have illegally blocked the money for over a month with Wanta now losing patience and giving authorities until the close of business on July 31 to fork over the money or saying he intends to file a federal lawsuit, as well as proceed after the entire $27.5 trillion which may have matured over the years to $70 trillion.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Although the story has been called the "biggest financial in the history of the world" due to the connected corruption by the Bush and Clinton crime families who have back stabbed Ambassador Wanta who all along wanted to return the money to the American people as President Reagan had directed.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;America stands now at the precipice of regaining its pride, honor and financial strength. Further, if Americans remain strong perhaps we can put a stop to the Illuminati's goal of financially destroying the country. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;To learn more about the Leo Wanta saga and other stories vital to our world, go to independent journalist Greg Szymanski's &lt;a href="http://www.arcticbeacon.com"&gt;http://www.arcticbeacon.com&lt;/a&gt; and listen to his international radio show at &lt;a href="http://www.gcnlive.com"&gt;http://www.gcnlive.com&lt;/a&gt; Monday-Friday from 4-6pm central.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://creditcetelem.110mb.com/credit-simulation.html&gt;Credit Simulation&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://creditcetelem.110mb.com/pret-d-argent.html&gt;Pret D Argent&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://creditcetelem.110mb.com/credit-consommation-taux.html&gt;Credit Consommation Taux&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://creditcetelem.110mb.com/prets-travaux.html&gt;Prets Travaux&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://creditcetelem.110mb.com/financement-credit-auto.html&gt;Financement Credit Auto&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://creditcetelem.110mb.com/racaht-credit.html&gt;Racaht Credit&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://creditcetelem.110mb.com/pret-rapide.html&gt;Pret Rapide&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://creditcetelem.110mb.com/permis-de-conduire-grande-remise.html&gt;Permis De Conduire Grande Remise&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://creditcetelem.110mb.com/credit-en-ligne-personnel.html&gt;Credit En Ligne Personnel&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://creditcetelem.110mb.com/pret-auto-moto.html&gt;Pret Auto Moto&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5766181756811229224-2380700480869071889?l=my-opinion42751.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://my-opinion42751.blogspot.com/feeds/2380700480869071889/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5766181756811229224&amp;postID=2380700480869071889' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5766181756811229224/posts/default/2380700480869071889'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5766181756811229224/posts/default/2380700480869071889'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://my-opinion42751.blogspot.com/2008/06/leo-wanta-saga-pt-15-bush-stalling-at.html' title='The Leo Wanta Saga, Pt. 15: Bush Stalling &apos;At 12th Hour&apos; Wanta $4.5 Trillion Deal To Improve American Economy'/><author><name>celez60996</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17712831471147695595</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766181756811229224.post-1622443725798317981</id><published>2008-06-17T17:43:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-17T17:43:22.208-07:00</updated><title type='text'>6 Tips For Saving Gas</title><content type='html'>In the past months we have seen the price of gasoline soar higher than ever before, and this can be hard on people who have a budget that is tight. Even though gas prices have come down a slight bit, you still will want to do everything you possibly can to save on the money you have to pay out for gas. There are a variety of ways that you can save gas, and save money.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tip#1 - Start Carpooling&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Carpooling is a great idea for fellow students and fellow employees both. If you can find people that are going to the same place you are you can save gas by riding together. It may be a good idea to trade off on who is driving from week to week so no one person gets stuck having to drive all the time. If you have to take your children to school or other functions you can also work on trading off with your friends and neighbors to take them there.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tip#2 - Public Transportation&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If it is possible you can take public transportation to work instead of driving your car. Not only will this save you money on gas, but you will also be able to relax and not worry about having to drive through all that rush hour traffic. You may even be able to fit in a quick nap on your way to work or on your way home.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tip#3 - Price Shop&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Often it may be so convenient to buy your gas at the small gas station just up the road, but to save some money on gas you may want to check the prices at other gas stations that are nearby as well. Even if the difference is only a few cents, after putting hundreds of gallons of gas in you vehicle each year, those few cents are going to add up to quite a sum of money.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tip#4 - Get Moving&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You can save some money on gas if you start walking to where you are going, or you can ride a bike as well. You will not have to worry about paying to park your car, and the exercise will be great for you body. If you are walking or biking you will not have to worry about those huge traffic jams either.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tip#5 - Take Care of Your Car&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It is always important to take care of your car so it gets the best gas mileage possible. Also be sure to plan where you are going before you go so you will not have to backtrack and waste gas. If you can, you should use your air conditioning as little as possible because using it takes more gas. Roll down your windows and you will use less gas.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tip#6 - Check your Tires&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It is important that you check the air pressure in your tires as often as possible. If your tires are too low, or the pressure in them is unequal it can make your car burn more gas. You should also be careful how you drive. If you take off from every red light very fast you are going to burn more fuel, so it is best to take off a little slower.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;These are a few tips that can help the money conscious person to save money on gas. Even as gas prices drop, these tips can still help you to save more money. Conservation is important, so take advantage of these tips, save money, and save gas.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Jackson Porter is a staff writer at &lt;a href="http://www.automobileenthusiast.com"&gt;http://www.automobileenthusiast.com&lt;/a&gt; and is an occasional contributor to several other websites, including &lt;a href="http://www.environmental-central.com"&gt;http://www.environmental-central.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://creditcetelem.110mb.com/credit-rapide.html&gt;Credit Rapide&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://creditcetelem.110mb.com/credit-en-ligne-immediat.html&gt;Credit En Ligne Immediat&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://creditcetelem.110mb.com/rachat-credits-revolving.html&gt;Rachat Credits Revolving&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://creditcetelem.110mb.com/pret-en-ligne.html&gt;Pret En Ligne&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://creditcetelem.110mb.com/credit-renouvelable.html&gt;Credit Renouvelable&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://creditcetelem.110mb.com/credit-immobilier.html&gt;Credit Immobilier&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://creditcetelem.110mb.com/reachat-credit.html&gt;Reachat Credit&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://creditcetelem.110mb.com/pret-fonctionnaire.html&gt;Pret Fonctionnaire&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://creditcetelem.110mb.com/demande-credit-automobile.html&gt;Demande Credit Automobile&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://creditcetelem.110mb.com/achat-vehicule.html&gt;Achat Vehicule&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5766181756811229224-1622443725798317981?l=my-opinion42751.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://my-opinion42751.blogspot.com/feeds/1622443725798317981/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5766181756811229224&amp;postID=1622443725798317981' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5766181756811229224/posts/default/1622443725798317981'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5766181756811229224/posts/default/1622443725798317981'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://my-opinion42751.blogspot.com/2008/06/6-tips-for-saving-gas.html' title='6 Tips For Saving Gas'/><author><name>celez60996</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17712831471147695595</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
