It will become ILLEGAL to have a garden without proper documentation, Permits, and restricted use of THEIR seeds.
Do NOT BELIEVE IT?
READ THIS.
The entire American system of government–a system that is supposed to be by the people and for the people–could literally be overthrown if S.510 is passed. As it stands, the bill is just one more piece of the deconstruction process designed to integrate the U.S. into a world system of government, and it threatens the very health freedoms millions of Americans are still able to enjoy.
The food system definitely needs a major overhaul, but not the kind offered in S.510. It is crucial that concerned citizens do everything possible to oppose this bill. If you value the freedom to choose healthy, clean foods and do not want governments telling you what you can and cannot eat, then you must take action.
The National Health Freedom Coalition has put together a helpful resource about S.510 that allows you to contact your Senators directly to oppose the bill. You can access the page at: http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/…

Nicotine is the addictive substance present in cigarettes. Smokers need enough nicotine to feel normal and to satisfy their cravings. In spite of the numerous Methods to quit smokingthe smoker has to go through withdrawal symptoms. The greater the amount of smoke inhaled the greater is the amount of nicotine required by the smoker’s body. Besides nicotine, smokers inhale around 4000 other chemicals among which some trigger damaging changes in the body. About 60 chemicals in tobacco smoke cause cancer.
All the suspended particles in tobacco smoke are collectively known as tar. The particles also contain many cancer causing substances. Tar is generally very sticky and brown and hence stains teeth, fingernails and lung tissues. The carcinogen called benzopyrene that triggers tumor development is present in tar.
Carbon monoxide is very dangerous in large quantities as it tends to replace oxygen. Hemoglobin is a protein that is present in the red blood cells. Its function is to transport oxygen in the body. But when carbon monoxide binds with hemoglobin lesser oxygen is supplied to different parts of the body which is dangerous.
There are tiny hairs called cilia in the lungs which help to clean the lungs by removing foreign particles which enter while inhaling. Hydrogen Cyanide present in tobacco interferes with the working of the clearance system which ultimately allows poisonous gases to build up inside the lungs. Hydrocarbons, nitrous oxides, organic acids, phenols and oxidizing agents are other chemicals that damage the lungs.
Free radicals in the smoke are highly reactive chemicals that can damage the heart muscles and the blood vessels. They build up fatty substances on the walls of the artery by reacting with cholesterol. This ultimately leads to heart disease, stroke and blood vessel disease.
Tobacco smoke also contains metals like arsenic, lead and cadmium which are carcinogenic.

The grass is crunchy and brown, the river is very low with water just running over the rocks in many places. This morning the Blue Jays are screeching outside my window.
My friend has been very ill. I think she has undergone every test imaginable but she still is not well. My husband has been cutting the grass in her yard while she goes in and out of the hospital.
Mrs. Robin\'s babies flew away a week ago so Eddie took the nest down from over the door. Her family owned the front porch for almost a month while we used the back door for coming and going. Eddie would put his large hand up to the nest and the little robins would touch his finger and open their mouths, thinking he had food for them.
AsterLily would sit inside the door and watch Mrs. Robin coming and going thinking "Hummm, what are these creatures flying back and forth?, I\'d like to catch one of you!"
We walk with Jezebel each and every day on the trail behind our house. She got loose when I bathed her and ran all over the place in glee, but finally when we called her she ran back to Eddie, so that was a great thing after all these years. Before, she would never come to us, so she is finally learning.
Katie\'s Ronnie, remember him?, and that he joined the Army last year? Well, he is now in Afghanistan. He is such a wonderful young man. Our hearts go out to him for he is so kind and gentle and yet to be in so much danger and so far away.
I can place "freelance writer" under my signature. You do not get credit for writing for others, you just make an income!!! That will be good to know on the snowy days sitting looking out my window at the snow and writing articles for someone else. I can still write my own articles here and on my own blog.
Well, here is hoping that everyone had a great summer. Remember the service men and women who are many coming home so our prayers have been answered. I pray that God keeps Ronnie safe along with all the other men and women. We spend lots of time at the Veteran\'s Administration and are seeing younger men and women needing treatment there now. There is a veteran near you who needs a "thank you!" Remember.
Happy Day!

You Can Make A Difference, Yes You
Personal transformation can and does have global effects. As we go, so goes the world, for the world is us. The revolution that will save the world is ultimately a personal one. -
Marianne Williamson, American activist, author, lecturer and founder of The Peace Alliance (b. 1952)
Big words. Few of us really believe we can change the world. Some of us don\'t try because we aren\'t sure how we would change it. Those people believe the propaganda they have been fed that they live in the best possible world, despite its problems, its unfairness, its warts.
Many don\'t try to change anything because they believe the world is too huge to change. Nearly seven billion people could not be reached with any message. How many people in the world today have never heard of
Elvis Presley, even though he died 33 years ago? If they have heard his name it\'s likely because they have heard some of his music. Michael Jackson\'s name is almost as well known and for the same reason. Even the name Barack Obama is known by many people in almost every country in the world. And he hasn\'t recorded any music.
Of course these are exceptional people. We would expect them to influence others to an exceptional degree. None of these men steered their lives away from trouble or controversy by not conveying their message to others they could reach.
You make the road by walking on it. - Nicaraguan saying
We make change by influencing one person at a time, not crowds or multitudes. Biblical
Abraham and the Prophet Mohammed were already tribal leaders when they become religious leaders. Jesus of Nazareth wasn\'t. Tradition has it that he was an impoverished vagrant that depended on the largess of others he interested and entertained with his words. Yet he kept speaking those words to many people, a few at a time, until he was stopped. Even though not many of his words remain in print, some are and the man is remembered as much for his message as for his birth and death.
We don\'t have to gather crowds at major city intersections or in arenas to convey whatever message we want to say to others. We just have to say it to people, even if it\'s one at a time.
How many people had their lives changed by Jesus? We don\'t know for certain. His personal posse consisted of just over a dozen people and no doubt they only gathered to follow him to his various speaking engagements once in a while. The rest of the time he spoke with individuals he met and with friends.
I have a message I want to spread around the world. I do it through
my articles, my web site, Facebook and the people I speak with in my daily life. It\'s an important message about how to improve the lives of children by improving what teachers and parents know about raising kids and about their needs.
I will never reach seven billion people. But I reached you. And you talk to people.
If you have a message of your own, talk it up with people you know and people you meet. Find out about my message, in
my book, and talk about it too. Everyone talks about kids and social problems in their communities and in the world, so the topic interests everyone. So tell them. They\'ll listen because they are interested in the topic.
You can only do good. People on every continent are talking about Turning It Around and the TIA plan today. You won\'t be starting any revolution. You won\'t be crucified. You may be remembered for an important message you passed to someone who really began to care, who really believes that the message is worthwhile, who really can make a big difference. Someone who can improve the life of a child, or many of them.
As the Nicaraguan saying suggests, make the road by walking it. Eventually you will be a hero for spreading such an important and memorable message.
Bill Allin is the author of Turning It Around: Causes and Cures for Today\'s Epidemic Social Problems, an easy-to-read guide for parents, for teachers, for everyone, about the needs children have that, when met, make them confident and worthwhile adults.

AMERICA NEEDS A CANDIDATE WITH THIS PLATFORM!!
I HAVE DECIDED TO BECOME A WRITE-IN CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT IN THE YEAR 2012.. HERE IS MY PLATFORM: (1). Any use of the phrase: ‘Press 1 for English’ is immediately BANNED!!!. English is the official language; speak it or wait outside of our borders until you can. (2). We will immediately go into a two year isolationist attitude in order to straighten out the greedy big business posture in this country. America will allow NO imports, and we’ll do no exports. We will use the ‘Wal-Mart ‘s policy, ‘If we ain’t got it, you don’t need it.’ We’ll make it here and sell it here! (3). When imports are allowed, there will be a 100% import tax on it coming in here. (4). All retired military personnel will be required to man one of the many observation towers located on the southern border of the United States (six month tour). They will be under strict orders not to fire on SOUTHBOUND aliens. (5). Social Security will immediately return to its original state. If you didn’t put nuttin in, you AIN’T gettin nuttin out. Neither the President nor any other politician will be able to touch it. (6). Welfare. — Checks will be handed out on Fridays, at the end of the 40 hour school week, the successful completion of a urinalysis test for drugs, and passing grades. (7). Professional Athletes — Steroids? The FIRST time you check positive you’re banned from sports … for life. (8). Crime — We will adopt the Turkish method, i.e., the first time you steal, you lose your right hand. There is no more ‘life sentences’. If convicted of murder, you will be put to death by the same method you chose for the victim you killed: gun, knife, strangulation, etc. (9). One export of ours will be allowed: wheat; because the world needs to eat. However, a bushel of wheat will be the EXACT price of a barrel of oil. (10). All foreign aid, using American taxpayer money, will immediately cease and the saved money will help to pay off the national debt and, ultimately, lower taxes. When disasters occur around the world, we’ll ask The American People if they want to donate to a disaster fund, and each citizen can make the decision as to whether, or not, it’s a worthy cause. (11). The Pledge of Allegiance will be said EVERY day at school and every day in CONGRESS. (12). The National Anthem will be played at all appropriate ceremonies, sporting events, outings, etc. My apology is offered if I’ve stepped on anyone’s toes …. nevertheless…. GOD BLESS AMERICA !

Only Answer to Cancer
ONLY ANSWER TO CANCER
Excerpt from Dr Leonard Coldwell’s Books:
“The Only Answer to Cancer” revised and how I cured my mother from liver cancer.
Also formally published in the World Wellness Report 2008 and other publications and speeches:
“I‘m sorry you’re struck with this problem. In my experience there is always hope as long as you don’t give up, stay active and keep on fighting—and as long as the government stays out of our way to optimum health!
In my experience the mandatory treatment of slaughter called surgery, burning called radiation, or poisoning called chemotherapy, leads to unbelievable horror, loss of quality of life, the massive spreading of the disease and most of all inhumane suffering and early death.
It’s my opinion that the “chemical doctors” do not have a cure and in my opinion most people would be better off without treatment than with all of the cutting, poisoning or burning.
The promotion of early detection, saying it will save your life or breast – is, in my experience, a blatant lie. What I’ve witnessed is that early detection simply means the instant start of suffering due to mandatory treatments and the loss of quality of life, pain and suffering and an inhumane death.
Why do I know this? I cured my mother of liver cancer that was in a terminal state over 30 years ago without surgery, chemotherapy or radiation. Her healing regimen was completely natural and cost less than $3,000.
The law does not allow me to practice my techniques that have led me to cure patients within weeks and often days. The total costs were usually below $5,000 dollars and the main part of my plan revolves around healthy food, herbs and supplements.
I retired from working with patients for 2 reasons: One was the constant restrictions and attacks from the government, pharmaceutical companies, and the medical industry. Even in spite of having the opinion of leading experts and the highest cancer cure rate in the world! The second reason I retired was to be able to teach, research and educate, and to rid the world of cancer.
I made a promise to God when I was a child. I prayed to Him when my mother had another pain attack and seemed to die, that if He helped me to cure my mother, I will spend the rest of my life to help other mothers and fathers and their children. I would help them so they wouldn’t have to go to the same kind of pain that I and my mom had to go through. He answered my prayers and that is why I’m on this mission today.
Since all 7 siblings of my mom had cancer, as well as my grandmother dying of cancer, and even my father and stepfather dying of cancer – I can tell you that I’m sure no one else has the amount of experience with cancer that I have. I have seen it as family member, son and grandson from the start until it killed my relatives.
In my time I have seen over 35,000 patients and have had over 2.2 million seminar attendees that wrote to me, sending in their comments and life stories. I have over 7 million readers of my newsletters and reports. I am the doctor that has, in the opinion of leading experts, the highest cancer cure rate in the world. In fact, I am convinced I could cure at least 90% of all cancer patients if I had the legal platform to work with these people the “Dr Coldwell Way.” As long as the patient is willing and still able to do whatever it takes and has no surgery, chemotherapy or radiation, there is no reason Cancer cannot be cured in most people.
I am sure I could cure them within weeks or a few months. But since the law and the ones that make money on your suffering and even death, don’t allow me to treat you the way I know would produce results, I legally cannot even tell you what to do or not to do. That’s how the medical profession and pharmaceutical industry protects their Trillion Dollar Cancer Industry. They “make” politicians install laws that kill citizens or at least make them sick, and laws that make sure they cannot be cured. They can only be treated to more illness and eventually death by the medical profession with toxic, dangerous and murderous treatments.
Can you tell me why, when it is proven that Essiac herbs, vitamin B17, D and other supplements and herbs are curing cancer, why it is illegal to advertise that fact or sell these products for this cause? There is only one answer: power-hungry bribed politicians, the greedy medical profession, and the pharmaceutical companies don’t really want you to be healthy or cured with some organic herbs, foods or supplements for a couple of hundred dollars. There’s no other reason! I’m willing to debate and argue this in every LIVE media setting—so they cannot cut and change the content before they broadcast it!
For 20 years now the Dr. Leonard Coldwell Foundation has a standing offer to the first medical doctor that can prove that he or she has a higher cancer cure rate than I have one million dollars. To this day, not a single doctor has tried to earn the million dollars.
I could fix the health care crisis in America within 4 year! But, sadly, no one is interested. The bodyguards of the Medical and Pharmaceutical profession, and the FTC and FDA will make sure you will never get the natural assistance and treatment that could help or even cure you in a very short amount of time. Therefore, the best chance you have it to educate yourself. Make educated decisions and take charge of your own health, life and future!
Since freedom of speech is at least partially still my right—before they find a way to steal this from us too—I can at least tell you what I would do if I were you:
2a. Medical Fact is that cancer cannot grow in and oxygen rich alkaline environment therefore I would always make sure that my body is slightly alkaline with a pH of 7.36. I would achieve this easily with the Acid-Alkaline Protocol from awesomesupplements.com that was created after my historical use for my patients.
2b. Very often a correlation between cancer and fungus / Candida overgrowth is mentioned in the medical world. To make sure I don’t suffer from this Candida overgrowth I would do the Candida Remediation Protocol from awesomesupplements.com which was also created after the producer researched my historical use of protocols with my patients in the past.
6. I would eat, if I could afford it, only organic whole foods from greatwholefood.com and eat fresh organic salads, vegetables and fruit.
7. I would have as much sun as my skin can handle without getting burned. Sun does not cause cancer!
8. I would buy a cheap juicer such as the Jack Lalanne model and have a lot of fresh juice with a lot of greens added.
9. I would walk or exercise just a little every day. Or at least 2 minutes 3 times a week
10. I would eat a vegetarian all organic life food diet
11. I would take Flora-Zymes, Quint-Essence, vitamin E and cal-mag from awesomesupplements.com every day of my life.
**In severe cases I would add oxygen therapy and or 35% hydrogen peroxide therapy. I would take (but I don’t encourage anyone else to do it!) 8 drops of 35% hydrogen peroxide in 8 ounces of Aloe juice for at least 35 days.
After doing all of this I would know I had done everything to address the physical causes of bad health.
Getting rid of the root cause of all disease! Lack of Energy which is usually caused by stress.
But I also know that the main cause of Cancer is mental and emotional stress. It’s scientifically proven that all illnesses are 84% based on stress and only 16% based on physical elements. Therefore, I would know that I would have to uncover and eliminate the root cause of my personal health challenges to be able to get rid of the symptoms and physical malfunctions. I would have to actively apply the information in Instinct Based Medicine – How to survive your illness and your doctor (see http://www.instinctbasedmedicine.com )
After doing all of this I would feel confident that I have done everything in my power to be healthy. I would then let Nature, or God, or whatever you call your higher power, do the rest.
Just a reminder: Nearly everybody in my family had cancer! And I don’t have or ever will get cancer!
So the question is: Do you believe the ones that lose or kill about 97% of their cancer patients or the ones that cure cancer on a daily basis. I can provide you with names and hospitals around the world where cancer cures are a daily reality. You will find it in my next newsletters.

Love and Happiness: Good Advertising Words, Not Real Emotions
Oh, threats of hell and hopes of paradise! One thing at least is certain -- this life flies; One thing is certain, and the rest is lies; The flower that once has blown forever dies. -
Omar Khayyam, Persian polymath, poet, mathematician, philosopher, astronomer, and physician (1048-1131)
Love, happiness. Nice words. What does "nice" mean? Well, "positive." Except sometimes, such as when "What a nice outfit!" hides enough sarcasm to drown a rat.
How about the other words? Love. What does love mean? Again, it\'s positive, of that we can be certain. But is it? How positive would you consider love to be if a man love
s his neighbour\'s young son? Don\'t stalkers love the movie stars or ex-lovers they follow around everywhere?
What does the word "love" even mean? A wife and husband may love each other, but their love always differs one from the other. In fact, on close examination, every case of love is different from every other. The word usually takes more space in dictionaries than any other word in the English language.
How can we love if we don\'t know for certain what the word means? We do know that most of the time we like hearing it when others tell us they love us. It\'s a warm fuzzy with no substance behind it.
What is happiness? Most people have an idea, until you try to pin them down to words to describe it. The first dictionary I checked had this as its first meaning: "state of well-being characterized by emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy." The dictionary uses a description that isn\'t definite. Characterized by a range of emotions. A range?
Even the dictionary won\'t pin itself down to a meaning we can all latch onto.
I submit that love and happiness are not emotions at all. Religions use words such as "God" and "mother" to elicit warm feelings in their followers. Advertisers use "love" and "happiness" to arouse similar feelings, which people then associate with their product or service.
"Love" and "happiness" are advertising
and entertainment lingo that mean little, but that make people feel good and want to buy products or watch movies. Have doubts? Watch a few television commercials and see how many have people who are obviously "happy" or "in love." Broad smiles that make people look beautiful as well as happy are so common in advertising today that it\'s impossible to land a gig in a magazine ad or a television spot unless you have perfect pre-whitened teeth you are prepared to show off in a big grin the way women used to show off certain parts of their bodies to sell product.
I know, I am presenting good ideas in a coarse manner. I want you to understand how you are manipulated into believing things by comforting words that give you warm feelings but that have virtually no verifiable meaning.
In religion, the Judeo-Christian-Islamic concept of what God (presented as male) will do for you is what a devoted mother would do. If you are old enough to have left the home of your mother, no problem, as God will look after you. All you have to do is to believe, to have faith that God is with you always.
I\'m not saying there is no God. There is, I have experienced God and have sufficient evidence that I could convince any jury in a court of law. But I have evidence of God, whereas most religions have no evidence that is irrefutable. I don\'t look for followers of my religious ideas because I have no intention of profiting from their donations. Religions do. Advertisers and advertising agencies do. They are professionals and they are good at what they do.
You need to know when you are being swindled, hoodwinked. If you don\'t, it will cost you money and emotional energy,
a part of your life. The science that studies these sorts of things is sociology. The people who use their knowledge and skills to twist minds--including those behind the leaders of major political parties--are essentially propagandists and brainwashers. They understand human nature and take advantage of those who don\'t.
I won\'t ask you to believe what I have said, because of what I have learned over many years in sociology and education. Learn for yourself. As I said, I don\'t want to make money off you or convince you of anything you can learn for yourself.
So, learn it. Then you will see how easily people around you are manipulated into thinking and believing what certain experts want them to believe.
They believe what they are told to believe. The more often they are told they should believe a message, the more likely they are to believe it. Now you know why the same commercials appear so often on television on the same night, for example. Tell people something often enough and a certain percentage of them will believe it as fact. Even if the message is an outright lie.Bill Allin is the author of Turning It Around: Causes and Cures for Today\'s Epidemic Social Problems, a guidebook for parents and teachers who want to understand all the ways children need to develop, not just the limited amount they learn in school. If you know kids with problems, you know kids who have not developed in all ways.

But why here in the States despite of those luxuries , hundreds and hundreds were in the hospital everyday? is it because they have money to spend for the hospital and filipinos don\'t? is too much food, too much luxuries make a person sick? is it better to be poor and average so as to avoid these luxury deseases americans have?

I have friends who are experiencing cancer and I tell them one of the best things they can do is EAT high quality foods. Nothing from a can, jar, bottle or bag. FRESH, FRESH FRESH. Additionally for those who are experiencing weight gain, I suggest they eat a more alkaline type of diet. I personally know of three people who I suggested that they TRY IT for a month, just try it. When they did they reported back to me that their doctor took them off of their high blood pressure pills, diabetics pill and cholesteral pills. THEIR DOCTOR TOOK THEM OFF! And asked them " WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Simply they ate alkaline foods ONLY. Would this work for you? It can\'t HURT YOU, Eating quality food is NOT dangerous, has no side affects, and is much lower in cost than surgery, chemo and radiation treatments. If I was experiencing a life threatening illness I would eat MUD if I knew there was a slight bit of evidence that it would save my life!
THE FACTS
FACT: Cancer will kill more than 13.2 million a year by the year 2030.
Source: U.N. Cancer Research Agency
That\'s more than double the 7.6 million who died of cancer in 2008. That means every year, the number of people who die from cancer increases dramatically!
Will YOU be among the millions of people who die of cancer in the coming years?
Perhaps a better question to ask is this:
Why should you (or a loved one) suffer or die from cancer ... while so many others are able to successfully heal themselves of the disease?
The root of that question is this: Why do some people get cured of cancer ... and some don\'t?
The answer to that question is revealed in a startling new video titled "It\'s Almost Impossible for Cancer to be Cured Unless You Do This..."
Here\'s why you must watch this 9-minute video: Whichever cancer therapy you or a loved one might choose to use...
==> whether it be conventional medical approaches such as chemotherapy, surgery or radiation; or
==> alternative healing approaches such as herbs, raw food, nutritional supplements, juicing, homeopathy, oxygenation, Rife frequency therapy, the Zapper method, or any other unconventional therapies
...cancer can almost NEVER be healed unless you heal the underlying basis of the disease. And the real cause is NOT what you think.
And it\'s also something that most doctors don\'t even know about.
You owe it to yourself to watch this eye-opening video about a dramatically extraordinary approach to cancer that is not available anywhere else.
Three minutes into the video (03:17 to 4:06), you\'ll witness a shocking revelation that will convince you of ONE thing that is most crucial to the total recovery of a person who suffers from cancer. This will make your heart pound with excitement because it even shows one major reason why cancer often recurs -- and how you can prevent cancer from recurring (usually with deadly consequences).
Mid-point in the video, a phenomenon which has fascinated and intrigued many medical doctors, scientists and health practitioners is explained ... and this will make you realize why most cancer therapies DON\'T work -- and what may work.
Once you watch the video, you\'ll be one of the first to know about a simple but revolutionary self-healing technique that has been scientifically tested -- and how countless people have experienced healing everything from cancer to diabetes, arthritis, emphysema, depression, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, asthma, fibroid tumors to Lou Gehrig\'s Disease.
... and don\'t forget to forward the link to everyone you know. After all, everyone knows someone who suffers from cancer.

My Man Betrayed Me
Question: My partner\'s recent affair is causing me to lose sleep. He apologized, but is it possible to save the marriage? Answer: If you can\'t live with what he did, then get out of the relationship. Remaining...will hurt you both. - Colette Baron-Reid, Canadian intuitive, counsellor, speaker, author (b. 1958)
The questioner, no doubt fictitious, a composite of many women Baron-Reid has counselled, and her reply appeared in a column titled "Self Esteem" in the summer 2010 issue of Zoomer magazine.
The article led with a photo of a woman, alone, arms crossed, looking dejected yet angry, propped up on one side of a king size bed with a gap between the pillows so wide a Doberman could have curled up in there without troubling her. In fact, the look on the woman\'s face suggested a Doberman might have been welcome for protection. Or for offence.
This woman was upset, in abundance. But why? What had her man done wrong that violated something?
Had he broken his marriage vows? Not likely. Most marriage vows are not specific about fidelity. Some say "keeping only..." but those words are anything but clear. In most marriages, the husband doesn\'t promise to never have sexual relations with another woman. In fact, recent studies where anonymity was assured indicate that husbands have sex with at least one other woman in 85 percent of marriages.
Many will claim that fidelity is implied in the marriage vows, that a man knows he has promised to be "faithful" to his wife. As a judge would say, where is the evidence of that promise?
Should the woman feel cheated? Studies in the US show that 75 percent of wives have sex with at least one other man during the term of their marriage. I don\'t claim to be a math expert, but those numbers show something is very wrong.
First of all, and by no means a minor factor, is the fact that humans are mammals and like most other mammals have sexual urges that go beyond the marriage partner. Men have hormonal urges to spread their sperm (their genes) to as many available females as possible. Women have similar hormonal urges, only in their case to gather sperm from the best available males offering.
If anything, a husband who doesn\'t want to have sex with any woman other than his wife is unnatural. Or, in today\'s lingo, he would be "gay." That term doesn\'t necessarily mean homosexuality as it\'s used often as a reference to reputation.
Is every man who is faithful to his wife unnatural? Not necessarily. Some may be so sexually satisfied by their wives that they have no interest in or need to look at greater female challenges.
How many women fill that role. Many women believe, and studies can be presented to support the claim, that men never let sex get far from their minds. Their brain is locked behind a zipper. By reputation, if not by fact, that is not true of women. On the other hand, that 75 percent of unfaithful wives stands out as evidence that sex isn\'t buried that far down in most women.
This looks like an unworkable or unmanageable problem. It isn\'t necessarily.
Put four small children in a sandbox and eventually two or more of them will start scrapping. Parents interfere to show the kids social skills that apply to the situation. We don\'t think it unusual that kids will have differences of opinion in a confined space because they don\'t know the rules of social interaction that apply to that context.
What are the social rules of conduct of marriage? Where are those rules written down. Where are they taught?
Ask ten men what their specific role as husband is and most will find themselves speechless. Ask ten women who their role as wife is and several will have answers (based on what they actually do), at least answers that satisfy them. Now ask the ten husbands of those wives with answers what they understand the role of their wives to be. Again, don\'t expect much.
Most men expect their wives to be...Superwife. Whatever that means. Most women expect their husbands to be...something better than the man they married.
Talk about an unsolvable problem. But is it a problem when the players don\'t follow the rules of the game even if they don\'t know what the rules are and they were never asked to agree to them?
While you are speaking with those ten men and women, ask them to define "marriage," what the relationship called marriage really is supposed to be. The chances of your getting even one good answer are low. Is it, in fact, more than legalized, socially acceptable free sex? Everyone agrees it should be more, until they are asked what.
If the level and amount of legal and socially acceptable free sex works for one partner but not for the other, which feels cheated? In a relationship, does it not seem likely that the partner who feels cheated will eventually find a way to "fill the gap" with someone else, perhaps someone who serves no other meaningful purpose than satisfying the natural need for sex?
Few would disagree that sex constitutes a very important part of a marriage. Yet in how many marriages do both partners agree on the kind of sex, the amount and frequency of sex, even on the "cleaving only unto each other" part? And, in the cases of the few who agree, where would that agreement be? Is there a clause in the agreement to accommodate changes in the ability of one partner to provide for the sexual needs of the other, or the changes of interest in sex of either, or the need for variation in sexual expression of a couple over a marriage of, say, half a century?
Sex as a problem in marriage is only a problem so long as the two partners don\'t talk about it and reach an agreement, with both partners being honest with themselves and the other in the discussions. When one partner asks the other to defy nature, to ignore and overcome natural urges of chemicals that affect the brain as well as sex organs, it will be difficult for the agreement to stick.
Sex is only one component of marriage. If two partners don\'t talk about and agree about sex, they likely won\'t talk about other aspects of their marriage either.
Of this we may be certain: if one partner sets the rules and expects the other to follow them strictly, obediently and without failure, over time the rules will be broken and the relationship will fail.
Not that many years ago at least one partner of a marriage had died before both reached age forty. Today most people will live past 80 and many will live to see their 100th birthday. Something needs to change. If we don\'t talk with each other about our needs and expectations, they will not be met by our partners.
Remember the woman in the photo I mentioned at the start of this article? While her husband confessed to an affair, apologized and asked forgiveness, if nothing in the wife\'s behaviour changes from what caused him to look for sex with another woman in the first case, the problem with the marriage will persist. The woman in the picture thinks she did nothing wrong and has not given a thought to what she could have done differently to avoid the marriage breakdown. She believes it was all his fault.
In her mind, that\'s the way it plays out. Her ignorance of what constitutes marriage protects her from self recrimination. In real life, it never works that the other is always at fault. In most cases of marriage breakdown, neither partner knew what was expected of them, so they had nothing by which to assess their own performance as a partner and they believe the problem is the fault of the other. They only had their own feelings to evaluate their partner with.
If marriage today is a contract, then both parties need to know the details, the clauses, the expectations of the other, the needs of the other and what they should do if they find their needs are not being met.
Imagine the implications of a marriage contract being renewable every five years.

My husband just painted the door facing and porch and banister a pretty brown and he placed the solar lights evenly inside the front flower garden so that when evening comes it is very welcoming outside our home.
I think the clean fresh paint drew Mrs. Robin to decide to make her nest in safety above the living room door. In the construction of her round nest are many twigs, stems, mud and whatever she could find to create the roundness to lay her eggs, keep them warm till they hatched and she could raise her baby birds safely.
What struck me as so quaint is that she found some Christmas icicle strands from some family\'s pitched out Christmas tree and wound the silver strands at the very top of the circle of her nest. I wonder how far she had to fly to find those icicles?
Isn\'t Mrs. Robin something? ','41319725');
threads[13] = new thread(4830274, 'High Fructose & Cancer', 'editor', '08/04/10', '11:37 AM','I have been speaking about this issue for years. Now there is additional research to verify what I have been talking about for so long.
Pancreatic tumor cells use fructose to divide and proliferate, U.S. researchers said on Monday in a study that challenges the common wisdom that all sugars are the same.
Tumor cells fed both glucose and fructose used the two sugars in two different ways, the team at the University of California Los Angeles found.
They said their finding, published in the journal Cancer Research, may help explain other studies that have linked fructose intake with pancreatic cancer, one of the deadliest cancer types.
“These findings show that cancer cells can readily metabolize fructose to increase proliferation,” Dr. Anthony Heaney of UCLA’s Jonsson Cancer Center and colleagues wrote.

threads[14] = new thread(4813727, 'What is wrong with this sentence?', 'MessageForToday', '07/23/10', '01:58 PM','I have been following the lawsuit by the federal government against the state of Arizona and I am reading some really ridiculous statements.
For example:
"Opponents say the law will lead to racial profiling and trample on the rights of the hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants in Arizona"
Now I read this as a really stupid statement, because if you are breaking the LAW being an illegal immigrant, then are you already without certain rights? It is a federal crime to come into this country without proper documentation. Try doing that at the airport and see what happens there!
If You go to any other country you will get arrested and the sentence is not short. But if you come to the USA illegally you can apply for public assistance and get it, food stamps, housing, medical care, and if your children are born here they are automatic citizens. It does not work like that anywhere else in the world.
Something needs to be done as I know exactly what it is like in arizona. I lived there for a couple years and it is so easy to pick out the illegal immigrants. They stand on the corners of Home Depot and other stores like that and solicit for Day labor. Everyone knows they are NOT legal but the heads are turned the other way by the authorities.
Just try that in another country and see how long you get away with it. There are immigration rules that millions of people from other countries have followed to become residents of the USA. Those who followed the cuurent immigration laws went thru criminal Background checks, medical check-ups, proof of income, and basic housing verification requirements.
But the current administration is willing to give tens of millions of illegal immigrants amnesty. If you are here illegally then is Just OK with them.
I think if you are interested in coming to the USA then go thru the proper procedures like everyone else did. We do not get graduation certificates from college just for showing up. You have to do the WORK!
