September is here again… a month that only reminds me of that dark day:
9/11
I was on the other side of the world; the pain was just as strong!
Confusion -anger and pain crippled my being, like many I will never forget that day as long as I live.
I would’ve given 10 years of my life if only I could have turn back time.
A remembrance to those who lost their life and to the families to let them know we feel empathy with everyday of their lives.
Gone from sight but not forgotten .
EVIL ACT!

What drives a person to do such an evil act upon a frail woman !I cannot fathom the action of this evil individual!
Does this man have no heart? A human being can be worse than an animal, cause animals kill to survive, but humans kill and hurt people for no reason! This man should be put in a room and have the family members beat the hell out of him and then put in jail for life! I know two wrongs don't make it right but it will make me feel better!
Why don’t you cut your wages -I bet that will solve the problem!
You are taking away peoples dignity it is hard enough trying to survive with gas prices and feeding their families and paying a mortgage -what world you live in ?this is not a movie this is real life !"Conan"
Ariverdeci Arnie !
You lost my respect!
And to think I wore your T-shirt ... Yuk!
Illegal Aliens.

Don't know if this is all true, but I found it interesting:
From the L. A. Times
1. 40% of all workers in L. A. County ( L. A. County has 10.2 million people) are working for cash and not paying taxes. This is because they are predominantly illegal immigrants working without a green card.
2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.
3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.
4. Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal , whose births were paid for by taxpayers.
5. Nearly 35% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally.
6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages.
7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border.
8. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal.
9. 21 radio stations in L. A. are Spanish speaking.
10. In L. A. County 5.1 million people speak English, 3.9 million speak Spanish. (There are 10.2 million people in L. A. County. )
(All 10 of the above are from the Los Angeles Times)
Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on welfare.
Over 70% of the United States' annual population growth (and over 90% of California, Florida , and New York) results from immigration.
29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens.
We are a bunch of fools for letting this continue.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?

A Holiday On Melbourne Cup

Melbourne cup is not just a horse race it’s thee horse race of the century - it brings non-gamblers to its knees and the die hard gamblers to its heights.
Always had a flutter on Melbourne cup and this year I will be going down under to the Flemington Race Course and bet a few dollars some know their horses, but I pick them by their numbers I close my eyes and the first number I see I will bet on....I won’t be surprised if Rupert Murdoch will be there after all he is Melbourne born I know Kerry Packer wont be there in body but his spirit will - he always gambled a million or two .
I’m packing and ready to go Americans so wish me luck and hopefully I win a few bucks
Melbourne cup is on the first Tuesday of November
It's a day when the nation stops whatever it's doing to listen to a race call !
9/11...My Tribute

Today I shared so many tears
A world filled with shock and fear
A nation left in disbelief
Trails of tears reflect on human loss
Mother ,brothers, fathers, sisters
Waves of anguish fill the air
Questions asked in despair?
I made a call to God
Please God just this once
Can you turn back the hand of time?
No can do his reply
But...
I will open up the heaven
And gather them all together
And I will embrace them
And with the love you carry deep inside
You will keep their memory alive
For in your heart they will never die
They will be remembered in forever time
One day you will be together
And together you will forget that dark day
The eleventh day in September
Throwing racism around

I believe there is a touch of racism in all of us,all it boils down to is human nature … It is human nature when one slaps around racism when things don’t go their way. For instance- I didn’t get I raise because I’m black -I didn’t get a promotion because I’m Mexican - want to hear a good one I’m black I’m not going to win the lottery... this statement came out of a man I was talking with … crying crying and cries… one factor does remain on my mind is the fact that when I see an add in the paper and it says bilingual preferred, bilingual? Should we read between the lines? Oh! Of course they mean Spanish- I speak Italian and I’m bilingual I guess I’m the last of the Mohican's I cant even find a speaking Italian to save my arse! I better take up Spanish!Maybe then I can work at the Airport or maybe for the INS.
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY

In the words of Abraham Lincoln, We are truly a nation built on a system of government that derives its power “of the people, by the people and for the people.
My words- Stand Tall Americans and be proud…have no regrets, continue to strengthen yourself into a positive nation and commit and respect.
Take a moment and reflect upon those soldiers that have lost their lives and pray for their families so they may find peace… and enjoy the 4th of July in their honor cause they deserve to be remembered without vanity but only for the courage that they have shown ...God bless their souls and once again humbly we ask GOD BLESS AMERICA
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY TO ALL
I dont care what race you are if you come to my home you respect it, you dont change my pictures and put yours up...I just want to say this IS the USA… and we are in an English speaking country I detest the fact that I have to have a choice ENGLISH OR SPANISH go and learn ENGLISH I SAY and do it like we all did… I HAD TO LEARN! As if its not bad enough just going through the prompts. If we ad all the countries in the world by the time we get to our destination we forgotten what the hell we called for…. I will not allow anyone disrespects the USA and when they put the Mexican flag on top of the AMERICAN flag that alone shows me that they don’t respect the soil they walk on. I would’ve gathered them all and thrown them back over the fence no amnesty - no nothing go through the proper channels and learn to respect before you come into this country!
