76-Year-Old Woman Jumps into Lake to Save A Dog 2007-06-14 15:03:00 Unlike the people who are on staff at Martin Luther King, Jr. Hospital in Los Angeles, California, Jean Kautzman is a woman who has the heart and soul of a healer. What did she do? well, while in the midst of playing a game of golf, she suddenly noticed that a little pomeranian dog was struggling for her life in a nearby lake, so without letting too many precious moments go by, she took off her shoes and socks and jumped into the lake and rescued her. What I'd like to know is how was Lola the dog able to get so far into this lake without her family even realizing that she was gone? My readers, I am shaking my head back and forth in amazement, since I can't understand how this can happen in the first place. I hope that Jean Kautzman will be awarded a heroine's medal, because this wonderful woman deserves it for saving the life of little Lola. READ ABOUT THIS HEREPractice non-violence in your lives.

Woman Dies in Martin Luther King Hospital Emergency Room While Staff Watch 2007-06-13 22:36:00 This is an abomination!!!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't compute what I was hearing when I heard and saw this story unfolding on the television screen a little while ago. How DARE they abuse the name of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in the manner that they did??!!! he stood for exactly the opposite in nature than these people did that day!!!!!!! How DARE they claim themselves to be healers while doing nothing while this woman dies on the floor of their ER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is like a horror film that we would see made by Bin Laden's follwers!!!!!!!!!! Everybody involved in this unbelievable atrocity from the staff, to the 911 operator to the chief medical officer (at least he was replaced) should be asking themselves the question, "Why am I working in the medical field?" because you guys, they sure chose the wrong field if they could just stand there with their apathy!!!!!! Although what the family of Edith Rodriquez lost, will not be regained with a suit by them, I hope they will br ...

New Hampshire School Students Visited a Planned Parenthood Center 2007-06-12 15:18:00 Just a moment...I have several questions of my own: 1) What did the parents/guardians of these young people think about this STAY program's intended trip? 2) Were the parents/guardians given a permission slip to sign outlining what this trip would be all about? If I were a parent or guardian and was presented with such a slip for me to sign, not only would my answer be a big, fat "NO WAY!" written across the entire page, but I would then immediately begin networking with as many of the other parents/guardians as I could and demand exactly what is happening now, which is a thorough investigation of this inappropriate incident. To me this makes about as much sense as allowing a school to organize field trips to birthing rooms, firing ranges, drug dealers, liquor and cigarette manufacturing plants. Would you sign your name to any of the above permission slips? you already know how I would respond to these. READ ABOUT THIS HEREPractice non-violence in your lives. You will be leavin ...

Boss Denies Employee Time off to Donate a Kidney 2007-06-12 14:37:00 Oh, Dave Roberts, you should be ashamed of yourself. I wonder how you are sleeping these nights since your decision? I am amazed at the level to which you have sunken to and well, I'm glad we're not family. Do you REALLY equate a life-saving procedure like a kidney transplant with a cosmetic breast implant in your mind? Not only is this sexist but totally irrational and I am furious at you! I hope there's people already organizing a protest which will include signs that won't be very flattering to you or to YOUR lifeblood, which is your precious, precious, business and seems to have trumped even your own heart and conscience, sir. Hopefully now that this is in the public eye, a philanthropic person will step forward soon and offer Pam Melson a decent-paying job so that she can move forward with her unselfish, life-saving, beautiful decision she has made.

Study Shows Violence Costs USA 70 Billion Dollars a Year 2007-06-11 14:55:00 This astronomical figure is just mindboggling to me and since there are many ways for us to prevent violence from occurring in the FIRST place, I think we all need to seriously consider what we can do about this shameful waste of money. Not only would we as human beings be living healthier and happier lives both mentally and physically, but just think about all of the places this money can go to which would better serve our great nation as well as the world!!!! Phaedra Corso, lead author of study and associate professor of health policy at the University of Georgia College of Public Health and health economist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said, "The most burdensome category is among young males who are victims of assaults with firearms, so if you want to prevent those costs from occurring, you need to focus on prevention in that particular population." What does this statement tell me? it tells me: 1) We need more focus on dealing with every day problems a ...

Woman Facing Jail for Stealing Rolls of Toilet Paper from Courthouse 2007-06-11 11:39:00 Oh come on now! A woman named Butts is facing jail time for stealing 3 rolls of toilet paper from a court house? At first I thought this was a made up joke. The late night talk show hosts and Saturday Night Live people must be screaming in anticipation. As far as 3 years in jail is concerned, that is utterly preposterous. She's not a violent criminal! The jail cells are full to capacity as it is! I say Suzanne Marie Butts should be ordered to meet with Sheryl Crow for some tp counseling, plus do 3 years community service cleaning toilets with a toothbrush.

Paris Hilton Sent Back to Jail 2007-06-09 12:37:00 Yesterday I watched while Paris Hilton's motorcade made its way from the courthouse to the facility where she would be psychologically evaluated. On its way it passed a carnival and I thought, "Exactly." Then I shut the tv and sat down and thought about it and you know something? this is much bigger than just about Paris Hilton, you guys. This is about changing our entire justice system to reflect what will happen once a person - ANY person - is convicted of a DUI in our country. If I had the power to change our system regarding this, I would make it much stricter than it already is. How? well...if this was your very first DUI and you were found to be driving ANY type of vehicle and your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level had been deemed to be a dangerous one (which means that you have not only placed your OWN life but OTHERS' lives at stake with this level), you would be immediately: 1) Placed under arrest 2) Ordered to serve 30 days in jail 3) Be told to perform 6 mon ...

Boston City Councilor Wants to Try out Pace Program Safe Driving Pledge 2007-06-08 13:52:00 This is such a marvelous idea to reduce traffic accidents in our country!

Survey of Gun Owners Show Guns Not Being Stored Safely 2007-06-07 13:56:00 "Over 70 percent of the families surveyed reported not storing their firearms safely in their residence," said Robert DuRant, a pediatric researcher at Brenner Children's Hospital at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, N.C. This is so unacceptable to me. Do these parents WANT their beloved children to have free access to their guns? I honestly do not understand their reasoning. "Our research shows that unsafe gun storage is associated with families who were raised with guns in the home," DuRant said. "They tend to be more comfortable with guns and are less likely to store them safely." This is quite ridiculous and not a plausible excuse at all! When these families were young children, they grew up in a completely different world. Parents and caregivers, you need to be changing this behavior! I'm sure that you DO love your children and wish to see them grow up. READ ABOUT THIS HEREPractice non-violence in your lives. You will be leaving your children a beautiful legacy ...

Paris Hilton Released From Jail Early 2007-06-07 11:06:00 Oh I just can't believe it!!!!!!! I never, ever expected to hear such news.......NOT. What I CAN believe however, is that someplace in Los Angeles there was a really delicious tasting power lunch and there was a lot of green on that table that wasn't salad, my dear readers. Stomach turning, isn't it? "She's using this time to reflect on her life, to see what she can do to make the world better and hopefully, in my opinion, to change the attitudes that exist about her among many people," her lawyer Richard A. Hutton said after visiting Hilton. Oh I see...do you mean that she will stop being such a bigot and also start volunteering in shelters for abused and homeless human beings and animals? Well, perhaps if the cameras are rolling... I can just imagine how MADD people are feeling about this. READ ABOUT THIS HEREPractice non-violence in your lives.

Millionaire Suddenly Snaps and Kills his Baby Daughter 2007-06-05 18:46:00 This is so horrific and shocking a story that I am crying as I'm typing, for this innocent little life who was killed in such a brutal manner. In order to try and comprehend how something like this can take place by a supposedly loving parent who according to his family and friends, didn't seem to show any symptoms of mental illness, I did some research on schizophrenia and this website greatly interested me. You see it indeed seems very possible that Mr. Izaga could have had this condition and if certain circumstances in his life were present, it could have suddenly manifested itself in this way. Perhaps he had been doing drugs or had been under an immense amount of pressure, but the fact remains that he ended up doing something that seemed to be completely out of character. I tell you it's just too upsetting for words and I hope that this deeply traumatized family will get to the root of exactly what happened to cause little Yanire to have lost her young life.

Iranian President Says There's a Countdown to the Destruction of Israel 2007-06-03 13:12:00 NO!!!! We cannot sit idly by and bemoan while the state of Israel is in such dire peril!!!!!! I say this madman and his helpers need to be stopped immediately and the only way for us to achieve this is for the United States (and any other country who gives a damn about what's happening to Israel), demand of our legislators that we begin to use every single less than lethal weapon that's now available to us. Once these weapons are in hand, we go in there and as non-violently as we possibly can, subdue and then remove the nuclear weapons from these monsters, and then attempt to use diplomacy in order to solve this mideast crisis. Think we don't already possess the less than lethal weaponry to make this happen? well we DO and here's the proof right before our very eyes: NonLethal Technologies manufacturers a wide range of non-lethal riot & crowd control equipment for military and law enforcement applications. General Dynamics OTS manufactures a wide range of non-lethal equipme ... President

Polish Man Awakens After 19 Years in a Coma 2007-06-02 23:41:00 I am feeling very emotional right now for two reasons: 1) This man's amazing recovery and 2) The fact that our U.S. government stood by and watched while Terri Schiavo was starved to death.

Cancer Researchers in United States Need More Money 2007-06-02 19:15:00 Now let's see...where can we possibly get these needed funds that the Cancer Society is pleading for us to give to them? Ok...I have to think a bit...money for cancer...money for cancer...hmm...there has to be SOMEPLACE where we can go to obtain this important money for cancer...oh WAIT!!! I know!!! how about we bring this appeal to President George W. Bush to withdraw the funding of the Iraq war and give the money to cancer research? This way, the money will be going to legitimately save people's lives, instead of continuing to fund an illegitimate war we shouldn't be involved in in the first place. Think he will go for it?
