True Story Guns
Tom told me to pick the baby up, and secure ourselves. Sure enough it was our turn. Tom picked the gun up, and pointed it at one of the young men to show him he would protect his family. You would be surprised how gentleman like these to guys suddenly became. Not only did they not harm us, they harmed no one else either. They found their behavior could be dangerous.
2. A friend of ours had a concealed weapons permit, and was eating in a restaurant. An armed robber held up the owner, and began terrorizing the clients. Our friend pulled his gun, and shot the man, who was arrested shortly there after.
My point is a gun, like a car, is a tool. It can kill, or it can save lives:
Studies show the Cities with the most gun control are the most violent ones. Like the two young men in my story, criminals tend to behave when they know law abiding citizens can protect themselves. It is not the tool that is good or bad, it is the operator. In emergencies police are not always there. click here for more info

Executive order 11110 by President Kennedy Very Interesting
- When Senators refuse to audit the Federal reserve they are in violation of their oath to uphold the constitution since it is the responsibility of Congress "To Coin Money, regulate the Value therof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures:" (Constitution Section 8 #5)
- Article X of the Constitution (Bill of Rights) says: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or the people." In other words if it is not a power given the Federal Government by the Constitution, they cannot take it from the States and the people. In other words they cannot re-assign their responsibility to the Federal reserve.
Shortly before President Kennedy's assignation he issued executive order 11110, which took the power to print money back in the hands of the Government, allowing silver certificates as the Constitution states (Section 8 #5).
That executive order was never repealed, is still in effect, but never enforced.

I do not know why President Kennedy was assented. However there is much speculation about executive order 11110 being the reason, and many conspiracy theories circulate as a result. The important thing is that President Kennedy cared enough to do the right thing, and it is still in effect (and so is the Constitution Section 8 # 5).
With the stroke of a pen, Mr. Kennedy was on his way to putting the Federal Reserve Bank of New York out of business. If enough of these silver certificates were to come into circulation they would have eliminated the demand for Federal Reserve notes. This is because the silver certificates are backed by silver and the Federal Reserve notes are not backed by anything.
Executive Order 11110 could have prevented the national debt from reaching its current level, because it would have given the government the ability to repay its debt without going to the Federal Reserve and being charged interest in order to create the new money. Executive Order 11110 gave the U.S. the ability to create its own money backed by silver.

Insurance Co-ops: Private And National
I find it very interesting that the news media is finally talking about the co-op option. Odly enough they are saying there are no examples to show it works. Hm mm
- The North East Florida Real Estate Association (NEFAR) had a co-op for a few years. If you were a member you could belong, and enroll your family. It was negotiated by a local insurance agent with an insurance company called Well Care. It was excellent.
1. No pre-existing conditions applied
2. Very affordable since there were many members involved
3. The doctors liked and accepted Well Care because they were good about paying.
Government regulation put a stop to it though. - You might also recall me telling you how small business owners use to be able to pool together in a large group to do similarly
- The North East Florida Builders Association also once had one before regulations put a stop to that as well.
These programs worked so well that I tried many times to find one again. Eventually I asked a local agent why it was so impossible to find. His reply: "There were people joining them who were not members." Hm mm....who was so concerned about that?
The consideration today, of course, is a government run program rather than private ones as the above examples. Have you ever called the IRS? Well, that is what it is like to call Medicare. I much prefer calling my local agent as I can easily fire him if he does a poor job.

Take a break and SMILE!
CIGARETTES AND TAMPONS A man walks into a pharmacy and wanders up & down the aisles. The sales girl notices him and asks him if she can help him. He answers that he is looking for a box of tampons for his wife. She directs him down the correct aisle. A few minutes later, he deposits a huge bag of cotton balls and
a ball of string on the counter. She says, confused, 'Sir, I thought you were looking for some tampons for your wife? He answers, 'You see, it's like this, yesterday, I sent my wife to the store to get me a carton of cigarettes, and she came back with a tin of tobacco and some rolling papers; cause it's sooo-ooo--oo-ooo much cheaper . So, I figure if I have to roll my own .. ......... so does she.
