Candice Bergen: An 'Adohr Gal'
One study from Yale says that women are evolving to become shorter and fatter. In recent years have you shrunk or gotten fatter?

For many years I worked at a company that had police towing and impound yard contracts. The impounds resulted not just from parking infractions, stolen recoveries, and seizures, but also vehicles from accidents.
Late last week an incident occurred that took the lives of five young people, ages 14 - 21.
In accordance with the featured public information officer’s wish, let’s start this week off with a public service announcement:

What matters to me and should matter to everyone in America….what the Obama administration is doing right under our noses…what do you really know about the "Czars"?
Obama’s pick : Science Czar John Holdren what the media hasn’t told you….his views as published in his book "Ecoscience":
Refresher on Holdren’s eco-zealous views:
• Women could be forced to abort their pregnancies, whether they wanted to or not;• The population at large could be sterilized by infertility drugs intentionally put into the nation’s drinking water or in food;
• Single mothers and teen mothers should have their babies seized from them against their will and given away to other couples to raise;
• People who “contribute to social deterioration” (i.e. undesirables) “can be required by law to exercise reproductive responsibility” — in other words, be compelled to have abortions or be sterilized.
• A transnational “Planetary Regime” should assume control of the global economy and also dictate the most intimate details of Americans’ lives — using an armed international police force.

He has not yet renounced these views. Be scared America…be very, very scared. You are not getting the whole truth….
Kelly,
Something in your post rang some bells……
I’ve got a neighbor who constantly begs me for certain medical explanations to her many psychological problems. The other day she handed me a copy of a poorly written internet article about young women/girls who were drugged at time of delivery and coerced into signing legal documents surrendering their about-to-be-born offspring. Then she told me, "This is what happened to me a long time ago." Frankly, the article was so poorly written that I was forced to go web-hunting for more information. I found some, but from all outward appearances, this topic is well hidden from lay conversation.
Maybe wowowow could introduce a topic entitled, "What do you know about mothers in labor being drugged so as to coerce them to give up their newborn?"
Andrea…that is an amazing story…horrible. But I have no doubt that those things happen. Everyone should read about the comments that this man has published….he is not alone…it is an agenda. Obama has picked him to a position in our government…not an accident.
Obama is an elitist and what he wants others to endure does not pertain to him or his family.
Wowowow would not touch such a topic…they need to lead the sheeple along quietly. It is left up to posters to make this information available, then more often than not, it gets deleted.
I’m afraid you’re right, Kelly [about wowowow not touching such a topic].
Thanks for the resource, too.
Andrea…it is so disconcerting that a site for and about women, deems it acceptable to feed us these lightweight articles. We as a Nation must search for the truth, now more than ever.
The more we read, the better off we are…ignorance is not bliss…
Kelly,
Women have brains [or most of them do] - it’s just unfortunate that too often they’ve been trained not to use them.
A friend just sent me the grand announcement about the national deficit topping 3 trillion dollars. Now how does one abbreviate trillion? M-million, B=billion, so I guess T=trillion. $3.0T and going strong!

Oh ya Andrea…AND COUNTING. To Obama’s dismay…America has not crumbled yet…prepare yourself for another stimulus. He NEEDS cap and trade…health care, to grab enough of the economy for his authoritarian socialism to kick in.
If cap and trade and Nationalized health care fail…he will spend Trillions more…to force more government policies on America.
Control….one way or the other….
What we need are JOBS….small business tax breaks and loans, that it THE lifeblood of America…but Obama needs for the middle class to fail and all to look for government employment. He needs for Americans to beg the government for jobs….
Check out the American Small Business League site….or Lloyd Chapman…..READ THE FACTS PEOPLE.
Kelly,
Absolutely - we need JOBS.
You have it right Libra Lady…exactly. He thinks that he is on track…
If he really wanted to fix America, he would kick start small business instead of funneling the money to HUGE CORPORATIONS. Every economist has said that small businesses employ the most Americans….
Why don’t more people ask themselves these hard questions? Check out the American Small Business League and read about what he is doing….
I’ll touch it - women in the dark ages were abused in childbirth, and in bed at home, and behind the barn, and by teachers, and by universities, and by ministers, roving menthodists, and gypsies … and … they are still being abused by men but not in the protective milieu of a competent medical environment, any where, except maybe in the back woods of Texas.
I’ll touch it, again - BAD OBAMA. Happy now?
