I don't expect you to post this comment. But I hope you will look at the links I've provided.Paddling injuries:http://nospank.net/violatn.htm(Studies show significantly more fatal school shootings took place in states that allow corporal punishment in schools.The decline of paddling in U.S. public schools is correlated with a decline in violence against teachers.Non-paddling states have higher ACT scores and higher graduation rates.Eight of the top ten paddling states are in the top ten states with the highest incarceration rates.See study at: http://www.stophitting.com/disatschool/fact-vs-opinion-school-corporal-punishment.php )Here's a list of pediatric organizations that oppose corporal punishment. * American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry* American Academy of Family Physicians* American Academy of Pediatrics* American Counseling Association* American of School Administrators* American Bar Association* American Civil Liberties Union* American Humane Association* American Humanist Association* American Medical Association* American Orthopsychiatric Association* American Psychiatric Association* American Psychological Association* American Public Health Association* American School Counselor Association* Association for Childhood Education International* Association of Junior Leagues* Council for Exceptional Children* Defense for Children International* Friends Committee on Legislation* International Society for the Study of Dissociation* National Association for State Departments of Education* National Association for the Advancement of Colored People* National Association for the Education of Young Children* National Association of Elementary School Principals* National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners* National Association of School Nurses* National Association of School Psychologists* National Association of Social Workers* National Association for State Boards of Education* National Council of Teachers of English* National Education Association* National Foster Parents Association* National Indian Education Association* National Mental Health Association* National Organization for Women* National Parent Teachers Association* National Women's Political Caucus* Prevent Child Abuse America* Society for Adolescent Medicine* Unitarian Universalist General Assembly* United Methodist Church General Assembly* U.S. Department of Defense: Office of Dependents Schools Overseas* Attachment Parenting International

Bush and The Education Mess
I voted for President Bush and shortly after I was disgusted with his Education flip flop. If I remember he was going to close the education department and send the funds back to the states. Pipe dream as he joined with Ted Kennedy and enlarged that department that does nothing but fail our children. We spend more for education and have very little to show for it. Our problem is not for lack of spending, but lack of classroom control. In education the inmates have taken control and we the adults have given our children free rein over the teacher.
Maybe my age is showing but when I was in School (elementary) my teacher was allowed to hand out corporal punishment if required. Our parents weren't afraid to have the teacher paddle our fanny if needed and it was always done in the presence of two teachers. I had two teachers paddle my fanny and I still remember them as very caring people and two of my favorite teachers.
Until the teacher is allowed to control the classroom, nothing will change. More money will be wasted, more teachers will leave the profession and education will fail.
I blame the parents for not supporting the teachers and allowing their little darlings to push the teachers around. Parents need to take responsibility for THEIR actions and THEIR failure to raise their children. They let the TV, the maid, the nanny, or whatever raise them.
Parents, get off your ass and pay attention to the children.

No Disrespect Intended!!!
TO ALL MY FRIENDS....LIBERAL OR CONSERVATIVE...FYI only.
George Bush has been in office for 7 1/2 years. The first six the economy was fine. A little over one year ago:
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3) the unemployment rate was 4.5%.
4) the DOW JONES hit a record high--14,000 +
5) American's were buying new cars,taking cruises, vacations overseas, living large!...
But American's wanted 'CHANGE'! So, in 2006 they voted in a Democratic Congress and yes--we got 'CHANGE' all right.
In the PAST YEAR:
1) Consumer confidence has plummeted ;
2) Gasoline is now over $4 a gallon & climbing!;
3) Unemployment is up to 5.5% (a 10% increase);
4) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $12 TRILLION DOLLARS and prices still dropping;
5) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.
6) as I write, THE DOW is probing another low~~
$2.5 TRILLION DOLLARS HAS EVAPORATED FROM THEIR STOCKS, BONDS & MUTUAL FUNDS INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS! YES, IN 2006 AMERICA VOTED FOR CHANGE...AND WE SURE GOT IT!....
REMEMBER THE PRESIDENT HAS NO CONTROL OVER ANY OF THESE ISSUES, ONLY CONGRESS. AND WHAT HAS CONGRESS DONE IN THE LAST TWO YEARS, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
NOW THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT CLAIMS HE IS GOING TO REALLY GIVE US CHANGE ALONG WITH A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS!!!!
JUST HOW MUCH MORE 'CHANGE' DO YOU THINK YOU CAN STAND?

WHO BROUGHT DOWN WALLSTREET
Three Men who helped bring down Wall Street
Here is a quick look into 3 former Fannie Mae executives who have brought down Wall Street.
Franklin Raines - Was a Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Fannie Mae. Raines was forced to retire from his position with Fannie Mae when auditing discovered severe irregulaties in Fannie Mae's accounting activities. At the time of his departure The Wall Street Journal noted, ' Raines, who long defended the company's accounting despite mounting evidence that it wasn't proper, issued a statement late Tuesday conceding that 'mistakes were made' and saying he would assume responsibility as he had earlier promised.
News reports indicate the company was under growing pressure from regulators to shake up its management in the wake of findings that the company's books ran afoul of generally accepted accounting principles for four years.' Fannie Mae had to reduce its surplus by $9 billion.
Raines left with a 'golden parachute valued at $240 Million in benefits. The Government filed suit against Raines when the depth of the accounting scandal became clear. http://housingdoom.com/2006/12/18/fannie-charges/http://housingdoom.com/2006/12/18/fannie-charges/http://housingdoom.com/2006/12/18/fannie-charges/.
The Government noted, 'The 101 charges reveal how the individuals improperly manipulated earnings to maximize their bonuses, while knowingly neglecting accounting systems and internal controls, misapplying over twenty accounting principles and misleading the regulator and the public. The Notice explains how they submitted six years of misleading and inaccurate accounting statements and inaccurate capital reports that enabled them to grow Fannie Mae in an unsafe and unsound manner.' These charges were made in 2006. The Court ordered Raines to return $50 Million Dollars he received in bonuses based on the miss-stated Fannie Mae profits.
Tim Howard - Was the Chief Financial Officer of Fannie Mae. Howard 'was a strong internal proponent of using accounting strategies that would ensure a 'stable pattern of earnings' at Fannie. In everyday English - he was cooking the books. The Government Investigation determined that, 'Chief Financial Officer, Tim Howard, failed to provide adequate oversight to key control and reporting functions within Fannie Mae,'
On June 16, 2006, Rep. Richard Baker, R-La., asked the Justice Department to investigate his allegations that two former Fannie Mae executives lied to Congress in October 2004 when they denied manipulating the mortgage-finance giant's income statement to achieve management pay bonuses. Investigations by federal regulators and the company's board of directors since concluded that management did manipulate 1998 earnings to trigger bonuses. Raines and Howard resigned under pressure in late 2004.
Howard's Golden Parachute was estimated at $20 Million!
Jim Johnson - A former executive at Lehman Brothers and who was later forced from his position as Fannie Mae CEO. A look at the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight's May 2006 report <http://www.ofheo.gov/media/pdf/FNMSPECIALEXAM.PDF on mismanagement and corruption inside Fannie Mae, and you'll see some interesting things about Johnson.
Investigators found that Fannie Mae had hidden a substantial amount of Johnson's 1998 compensation from the public, reporting that it was between $6 million and $7 million when it fact it was $21 million.' Johnson is currently under investigation for taking illegal loans from Countrywide while serving as CEO of Fannie Mae.
Johnson's Golden Parachute was estimated at $28 Million.
Where Are They Now?
Franklin Raines? Raines Works for the Obama Campaign as Chief Economic Advisor,
Tim Howard? Howard Is Also a Chief Economic Advisor to Obama
Jim Johnson? Johnson Hired as a Senior Obama Finance Advisor and Was Selected to Run Obama's Vice Presidential Search Committee
If Obama Plans on Cleaning up the Mess – His Advisers Have the Expertise - They Made the Mess in the First Place.
Am I the Only One to Be Infuriated?
Would You Trust the Men Who Tore Wall Street down to Build the New Wall Street ?

Could it Be True?
This is a matter of opinion and opinions are like (well you know) everybody has one.
If after reading this email you disagree, Please, no need to reply back to me. Your opinion is yours and that's fine, just delete it.
*******************************
A lot of Americans have become so insulated from reality that they imagine that America can suffer defeat without any inconvenience to themselves.Pause a moment, reflect back.These events are actual events from history. They really happened!!!

Do you remember?
1. 1968 Bobby Kennedy was shot and killed by a Muslim male extremist.
2. In 1972 at the Munich Olympics, athletes were kidnapped and massacred by Muslim male extremists.
3. In 1979, the US embassy in Iran was taken over by Muslim male extremists.
4. During the 1980's a number of Americans were kidnapped in Lebanon by Muslim male extremists.
5. In 1983, the US Marine barracks in Beirut was blown up by Muslim male extremists.
6. In 1985 the cruise ship Achille Lauro was hijacked and a 70 year old American passenger was murdered and thrown overboard in his wheelchair by Muslim male extremists.
7. In 1985 TWA flight 847 was hijacked at Athens , and a US Navy diver trying to rescue passengers was murdered by Muslim male extremists. ( remember the pilot of this flight was from Richmond, MO)
8. In 1988 , Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed by Muslim male extremists.
9. In 1993 the World Trade Center was bombed the first time by Muslim male extremists.
10. In 1998, the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed by Muslim male extremists.
11. On 9/11/01, four airliners were hijacked; two were used as missiles to take down the World Trade Centers and of the remaining two, one crashed into the US Pentagon and the other was diverted and crashed by the passengers. Thousands of people were killed by Muslim male extremists.
12. In 2002 the United States fought a war in Afghanistan against Muslim male extremists.
13. In 2002 reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and murdered by-- you guessed it-- Muslim male extremists.
No, I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you? So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people... Absolutely No Profiling!They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winner and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim Males alone lest they be guilty of profiling.
According to The Book of Revelations:The Anti-Christ will be a man, in his 40's, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal....the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power, he will destroy everything.
And Now: For the award winning Act of Stupidity Of all times the People of America want to elect, to the most Powerful position on the face of the Planet -- The Presidency of the United states of America .. A Male of Muslim descent who is the most extremely liberal Senator in Congress (in other words an extremist) and in his 40's.
Have the American People completely lost their Minds, or just their Power of Reason ??? I'm sorry but I refuse to take a chance on the 'unknown' candidate Obama...Let's send this to as many people as we can so that the Gloria Aldreds and other stupid attorneys along with Federal Justices that want to thwart common sense, feel ashamed of themselves -- if they have any such sense.

545 People
By Charlie Reese
Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.Have you ever wondered why, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?Have you ever wondered why, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?
You and I don't propose a federal budget. The president does.You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president, and nine Supreme Court justices 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress.
In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a president to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits. The president can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.
The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House? She is the leader of the majority party. She and fellow House members, not the president, can approve any budget they want. If the president vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million can not replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.
If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red.If the Army & Marines are in IRAQ, it's because they want them in IRAQ.If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way.
There are no insoluble government problems.Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like 'the economy,' 'inflation,' or 'politics' that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible.They, and they alone, have the power.They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees.We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!

What you do with this article now that you have read it is up to you, though you appear to have several choices.
1. You can send this to everyone in your address book, and hope they do something about it.
2. You can agree to vote against everyone that is currently in office, knowing that the process will take several years.
3. You can decide to run for office yourself and agree to do the job properly.
4. Lastly, you can sit back and do nothing, or re-elect the current bunch

Fannie & Freddie
After watching the Republicans and Democrats on TV about the vote for the bailout it is very sad. For Nancy to blame the Republicans for this problem is just a joke and not accurate. I am sure all parties need to take some heat but to pick on one party isn't honest.
If I remember correctly, Republicans tried to pass some regulations that would have created more oversight for Fannie/Freddie and the Democrats felt it wasn't needed. Democrat after Democrat spoke up for Fannie/Freddie stating how wonderful they are and well run. Now we know better and We the People pay.
Check the facts and see who said what and when about Fannie/Freddie. Where do the leaders of those companies work now? Not sure but they are advisers for the Messiah Barack H. Obama.
