Oh those terrible, horrible dangers times when a kid just had to be and learn what Fun was all about and how to deal with hard knock when they came about! Yes, that was what made us who we are today, Pray for overly protected of today, who think only of themselves.

That is exactly why for the last 40+ years I have been Preaching and speaking where ever I could that the American People not should but must act in behalf of our Founding Fathers and our Families generations to come to VOTE not Parties but for the American Family! We must stand up and Vote out any one, any where Local, State or Federal that has severed more than 2 terms! We the American People must over the next 6-8 years clean them out start installing Citizen Politicians that will pledge to run no more than 2 terms and then go home and keep them to that promise through the Ballot Box! The only way get back The United States of American is through the American Citizens, not through Life Time Career Politicians!

They are sooo use to doing what they want and winning most of the time: U.S. officials claimed the drone landed in Iranian territory due to a malfunction The CIA and the U.S. military may have a serious security flaw to deal with if an Iranian engineer's story proves to be true. Speaking to Christian Science Monitor (CSM), he detailed how a team of specialists from his country hacked into a U.S. spy drone's GPS navigator in order to capture it. That's the same one the U.S. government claimed has landed in Iran's territory in early December due to a malfunction. The Iranian specialists reportedly figured out that the RQ-170 Sentinel's weakest point is its GPS by examining previously downed American drones back in September. Using this knowledge, they designed a trap for one of the drones doing reconnaissance work in the country: "By putting noise [jamming] on the communications, you force the bird into autopilot. This is where the bird loses its brain," the engineer says. The team then simply programmed it to "land on its own where [they] wanted it to." The engineer asserts that the whole process is as easy as hacking into a Google account. The attack was ultimately successful, leading the unmanned vehicle to land in Iran instead of its home base in Afghanistan. A 2003 study on GPS vulnerability indicates that the U.S. military has known about the problem for nearly a decade. If the RQ-170 in Iran's possession was indeed hacked, it means the susceptibility is yet to be fixed. This isn't the first time a U.S. drone's security was compromised: back in 2009, videos sent by stealth drones to their ground control stations were intercepted by Iraqi insurgents. And earlier this year, a virus had infected not one, but a whole fleet of unmanned vehicles.

Good Laugh mcuman

Now I am sure as stated in a privious topic, we can all sit back in the best comfortable chair and relax for yet another year. The Iraqis just can't figure it out!

Where did this CRAZY DAY DREAM come from? Certainly those figures would be far beyond Sweet; but I was just getting set to sit and wait for yet another year.

What a wonderful little story, how often is Satan doing his best to trip us up in front of a Lost World. Keep smiling and be a happy example before all the Lost!

I am starting to make some contingency plans until Adam speaks to us VIPs after the RV. So, if we only get .10 wouldn't it make good sense to cash in so all debts could be brought up to date, then also have a little in the bank, then take what's left and make a Re-purchase and wait for the 1-1 0r 1-3 or what it is in say 2years?

How cool would it be if the Iraqis accidently celebrated Christs birthday by RVing on the 25th?

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- After nearly 40 years in public education, Patrick Godwin spends his retirement days running a horse farm east of Sacramento, Calif., with his daughter. His departure from the workaday world is likely to be long and relatively free of financial concerns, after he retired last July at age 59 with a pension paying $174,308 a year for the rest of his life. Such guaranteed pensions for relatively youthful government retirees — paid in similar fashion to millions nationwide — are contributing to nationwide friction with the public sector workers. They have access to attractive defined-benefit pensions and retiree health care coverage that most private sector workers no longer do. Experts say eligible retirement ages have fallen over the past two decades for many reasons, including contract agreements between states and government labor unions that lowered retirement ages in lieu of raising pay. With Americans increasingly likely to live well into their 80s, critics question whether paying lifetime pensions to retirees from age 55 or 60 is financially sustainable. An Associated Press survey earlier this year found the 50 states have a combined $690 billion in unfunded pension liabilities and $418 billion in retiree health care obligations. Three-quarters of U.S. public retirement systems in 2008 offered some kind of early-retirement option paying partial benefits, according to a 2009 Wisconsin Legislative Council study. Most commonly, the minimum age for those programs was 55, but 15 percent allowed government workers to retire even earlier, the review found. The study is widely regarded as the most comprehensive assessment of the issue. Police and firefighters often can retire starting even younger — at around age 50 — because of the physically demanding nature of some of those jobs. Yet with cities, counties and states struggling to pay pension bills, changes are afoot. In November, San Francisco voters supported a local ballot initiative to hike minimum retirement ages for some city workers. Since that time, laws increasing retirement ages for government workers were signed in Rhode Island and Massachusetts in efforts to address underfunded pension systems. Earlier in New Jersey, part of a legislative deal struck between Democrats and Republicans raised the normal retirement age from 62 to 65. An initiative circulating for California's 2012 state ballot seeks to increase the minimum retirement age to 65 for public employees and teachers, and to 58 for sworn public safety officers. Godwin said all the antagonism toward public retirees is misplaced. His pension payout follows 36 years as an English teacher and school administrator in California, with two years' sick-leave credit added for never being absent. He said lack of accountability on Wall Street and exorbitant corporate salaries are a more justified target of the public's anger. "Those things I think are a much larger problem than what a public employee is making as a pension," he said. The AFL-CIO labor coalition's Executive PayWatch project estimates chief executives went from making 42 times the average blue collar worker's salary in 1980 to 343 times as much last year. Overall, Americans are working to older ages — even with the expanded ability for some to collect partial pensions younger if they retire. Over the past 20 years, the average retirement age for men has edged up to 64, for women to 62, according to the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College. Data compiled by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics show 29 percent of people between 65 and 69 worked at least part-time last year, up from 24 percent a decade ago and 21 percent in 1994. Almost 7 percent of people 75 or older were employed in 2010, compared to less than 5 percent 15 years ago. Experts say no reliable figures exist that could show whether public sector workers retire younger than their private-sector counterparts. That's because the Bureau of Labor Statistics has no way of defining "retirement," and nearly all analyses involving the American workforce begin with the bureau's data. It is clear, though, that most private-sector workers no longer receive defined-benefit pensions that will pay them for life. Most must wait until age 65 or 67 to collect their full Social Security benefit or draw from 401(k) accounts that are invested in the stock market and, in many cases, have sustained significant losses during the recession. It is this shift in the style of benefits, and not the age of retirement, that should be scrutinized, said Hank Kim, executive director of the Washington, D.C.-based National Conference on Public Employee Retirement Systems, which advocates for government pensions. "I think the biggest difference between the private and the public sector is that, for whatever reason, the private sector has largely abandoned the pension system," he said. Kim believes that shift has left a generation of private employees — who make up the bulk of the American labor force — unprepared for retirement. In 2010, there were 18 million government workers and 94 million private sector workers in the U.S. Rising retirement ages and reduced pension payouts for many private-sector workers are emboldening those seeking to rein in the obligations of overextended public pension systems. Former California state Assemblyman Roger Niello, a Republican, is backing the proposal to take the age issue to California voters next year. "It's a huge concern, arguably maybe the biggest concern aside from things where the system is being abused, like pension-spiking," said Niello, referring to the practice of artificially inflating retirement benefits by boosting pay at the end of an employee's career. Defenders say union-negotiated retirement packages help attract and keep people in jobs necessary to society, whether teaching, environmental protection, law enforcement or garbage collecting. Maureen Reedy, a long-time elementary instructional specialist in Upper Arlington, Ohio, a Columbus suburb, said benefits form part of the financial equation workers use to decide whether to go into public service. "After 20 years, most teachers are making $50,000 — woo-hoo," she said. "Our pension and our security are part of the long-range outlook of our profession." Ohio, New Jersey and Wisconsin were among states this year that sought to limit the power of public employee unions, in part out of concern over rising pension costs. Reedy, 53, was considering retirement before Ohioans voted in November to repeal a new law making sweeping changes to the collective bargaining abilities of unions representing 350,000 public workers. Pension changes are still on the state's agenda. Some states began raising retirement ages around five years ago, before the issue had garnered wide public attention. Illinois and Missouri, for example, increased the normal retirement age to 67. Before the change, Illinois workers could retire with full benefits at 60 after just eight years of service. Matt Mayer, president of the Buckeye Institute for Public Policy Solutions, a conservative think tank in Ohio, believes states' pension woes could be remedied by having their public pension systems operate more like the federal Social Security system. "Frankly, I don't have as much a concern about when they retire as I do about when they get access to the pension," he said. "I believe in the economic freedom of workers. If a teacher wants to retire at 55, fine. They just don't get their pension until 65." How do You feel about them?

Stop Bashing, what a curious concept; except for it is a condition of human nature ever since the Garden of Eden! Once we knew nothing of what is now rather common "Bashing" which we sub-consciously feel will make ourselves feel better and superior to the opposing side. Let us stop and breath deeply first, then attempt to state our belief in a non-combative sense and debate with logic, ok?

Does it bother any one that on the news in Iraq you see and hear them condemming the U.S. calling us every kind of nasty creature for the condition of their country wonder if they remember how loving and caring Hussien was for his country men?

Well here is a report about Paranoid little Rate: 1. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Prepare for War Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have been placed on a war footing amid signs that the United States and its allies are taking action to cripple the country’s nuclear weapons development program. Ayatollah Khamenei, Iran’s spiritual leader, ordered the heads of the nation’s military, intelligence and security organization to “take all necessary measures to protect the regime,” The Telegraph reported. In response, Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari, commander of the Revolutionary Guards, ordered units to move Iran’s arsenal of long-range missiles to secret sites where they would be safe from attack and could launch retaliatory strikes. The Iranian air force has also formed “rapid reaction units” that are practicing a response to an enemy airstrike, according to The Telegraph. Khamenei’s order came in response to growing pressure on the Islamic Republic over its nuclear program, and mounting evidence that Iran is being targeted by Western forces seeking to destroy key elements of the program. An explosion at a Revolutionary Guard Corps base 30 miles west of Tehran on Nov. 12 leveled buildings and killed 17 people, including a founder of Iran’s ballistic missile program, Gen. Hassan Tehrani Moghaddam. Iranian officials called the explosion an accident. “However, many former U.S. intelligence officials and Iran experts believe that the explosion — the most destructive of at least two dozen unexplained blasts in the last two years — was part of a covert effort by the U.S., Israel, and others to disable Iran’s nuclear and missile programs,” the Los Angeles Times reported. American and Israeli engineers are suspected of feeding the Stuxnet computer worm into Iran’s nuclear program in 2010. The virus caused centrifuges used to enrich uranium to shatter. Two senior nuclear physicists were killed and a third wounded by bombs attached to cars or motorcycles in January and November of last year. In September, the head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, Fereydoun Abbasi-Davani, accused the U.S., Israel and the U.K. of conducting attacks on him and other scientists. Abbasi-Davani was reportedly wounded in a 2010 car bomb blast, National Journal reported. There have also been reports of unexplained explosions in Iranian gas pipelines, oil installations, and military facilities. Three such explosions occurred in October in a 24-hour period, and a large blast was reported recently in Iran’s third-largest city, Isfahan. A senior Western intelligence official told The Telegraph: “There is deep concern within the senior leadership of the Iranian regime that they will be the target of a surprise military strike by either Israel or the U.S. For that reason they are taking all necessary precautions to ensure they can defend themselves properly if an attack happens.” These Fools could out of their Parnoid reactions cause extreme complications between the Western World and Red China and Russians. Then the major questiion question and maybe Final one is do the Red Chinas and Russian really feel those Loonies are worth WW 3 ?

Only a Fool dreams for War, a Jerk who has all the answers. War is not a Game ask any one who has Served or lost a Loved one! WWW3 will one day come and God Save us all from that day for it certainly shall be the War that is the End! Read the Book of Revelations!

How can any sane man make this statement: Unfortunatly, there is good reson to beleive that there wil be a WW3... WW3 would be a No/No win for any one, contrary to which the Super Powers would have us believe, all three have kept enough NUKES to toast the whole world!

Let's see Iraq after all fall out should still be the 3td richiest country. So it should help the world economy, by virtue of its nautral resourcs. Thus, is a readjustment of all countries assets according to their back up resouces demonstrating actual wealth, this is a positive result!
