1. That's not covered by your policy.
2. Hello. This is the IRS.
3. This is for your own good.
4. Relax. This won't hurt a bit.
5. I've never seen that happen before.
6. I'm afraid we can't help you.
7. Your wife ran off with another lady. Or, your husband ran off with another man.
8. It won't cost that much.
9. I have just what you need.
10. How was I suppose to know?
11. Get your hands up, face the wall, and spread 'em.
12. Normally we would take care of that, but...

Imagine responsible companies protecting the environment as though there is a tomorrow, and they view worker knowledge and the company's reputation as their greatest assets.

Imagine individuals and countries settling their differences by negotiation and mediation and compromise. War and fighting are seen as primitive and unthinkable. You can't kill your way to peace.

Imagine that anyone sick can get the treatment they need without losing their life's savings. As a citizen of America, you are entitled
to health-care. It is no longer a privilege.

Imagine no one in the world being hungry. Or homeless. Or alone. It's easy if you try.

Imagine. What can you imagine?

1. Never sunbath in the nude. You might forget to turn the other cheek.
2. Do not look at another man's ox, nor his ass.
3. Do not cheat your fellow man. There are exceptions to this. Please check your corporate by-laws.
4. Do not join a country club. It's not nice trying to fool God into thinking there are only white people.
5. Do not think you are any better than the next guy, or you might spontaneously combust.
6. Do not change your sex. God hates that.
7. Do not idolize other Gods. More than one God would be way too confusing for most people.
8. Go to church on Sunday and do not work. Golf does not count as work and counts for church. And don't forget to pray for that putt to go in.
9. Do not believe anything Moses said. He was President of the NRA.
10 Finally, never, ever, question The Peevers words. I've been to the promised land. Well, maybe it was just Las Vegas, put still.......

ALBERTO GONZALES, U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL, RESIGNS. DARN. SEEMS LIKE IT'S ABOUT BUSH AND CHENEY'S TURN. OTHERWISE, THEY SHOULD BE IMPEACHED. LET THE LIBERATION CONTINUE.

I'd like to think of myself as an environmentally responsible person, but I'm afraid that would be a joke. I do a lot of talking about a more sustainable, safe, environment, but when it comes to putting that talk into practice, I'm not very good at it. Every day we should be weighing our decisions about what we buy, what we eat, how we travel, against its impact on the Earth. How can I limit the negative impact I'm having on the environment? Attempting to get by on less. Staying local. I continue to live in denial. Denial that I alone can make a difference. That it has to be me who needs to change. It is easier to turn my head and plow forward.
We had a bad storm in town the other night. Seventy mile per hour straight-line winds. A lot of trees and limbs were brought down. Power was out in just about every home. People calling into the radio wanted their power on, now. One guy was complaining he was missing the Cubs game on cable. Another lady insisted they get her power on because she had a baby in the house. If I were a terrorist, all I would do is bomb the power sub-stations and blow up the waterline. You wouldn't have to do anything else, people would kill one another.
We are a nation of spoiled brats. We think the Earth is here to serve us. Makes me wonder who we think we're kidding? It makes me sad that I don't do better in conserving, recycling, buying less, buying local, traveling less by car. Who sold me this bill of goods, that the now is more important than the future? Talk is cheap, but doing is so very difficult.
