A doctor tells it like it is
This was written by a doctor in Texas and is very good, please read.
I was just reading Yahoo news and the San Antonio Express newspaper. Youknow what upsets me? People with absolutely nothing to do with theirlives,so they complain on how the United States is treating the prisoners or “detainees”from Afghanistan.
Do you know why they are complaining? They see a picture on the news orthe Internet and they see someone who is shackled and blindfolded andwalking with two armed guards behind razor wire. This picture tells themthey are treated unfairly.
Here is what I see….
I see a thin, sickly looking person who, under severe mental duress frombeing bombed, was cleaned up, given a haircut to prevent infestation ofparasites, and given new clothes and shoes to wear. I see a person whois given three nutritious meals per day and a bed to sleep in a tropicalclimate, not the cold desert floor of Afghanistan, eating worms, bugsand goat. I see a person who will be able to get relief from their painsandillnesses without paying a dime for medical expenses. They will get rest andeducation and their mental stress levels will have dropped tremendouslybecause they were taken out of a combat area and will not be shotat again.
I see these people blindfolded and shackled behind razor wire. I have theintellectual ability to understand why they are this way. For those whodo not have this ability, let me explain it to you. They are blindfoldedtoprotect our U.S. soldiers from further harm. These people cannot planto destroy something if they cannot see it. They are shackled becausethese same people have proven they will easily give up their lives to killjust ONE AMERICAN. We are protecting their life as well as our own. Therazor wire is a mental deterrent, just like the little alarm companywarningsigns most of you have on your home, but don’t have the actualalarm system. You would think many times over before actually tryingto cross that razor wire. For all of you people out there thinking how badthese poor detainees have it under such strict guard, you need to do alot more thinking about other things in your life.
I was born on Sept. 11, 1966, and every birthday I have from nowon will never be a happy one. Why? you ask. Because as I am outsomewhere trying to have a nice dinner, someone will have a candle or aribbon or something, crying about the anniversary of a national tragedy.And then I will think about how insignificant my one little birthdayactuallyis compared to everything else that happened on that one day.
It boggles my mind that there are actually people out there in this world,in leadership positions, heads of companies that actually think that we aredoing something wrong when it comes to protecting our nation and ourpeople. These same people will be the first ones to complain aboutsomething that happens to them when they are vacationing outside thiscountry. They will ask why the U.S. does not do anything about theirmisfortune. These are the same people that complain about taxes and howbad their lives actually are.
If you receive this e-mail, please pass it on to everyone in your addressbook. I am not afraid or ashamed to speak my peace. I am an American,my father fought for this country and was willing to die for it.

Gen. Schwartzkopf
In a recent interview, Gen. Norman Schwartzkopf wasasked if he thought there was room for forgivenesstoward the people who have harboured and abetted theterrorists who perpetrated the 9/11 attacks on America.His answer was classic Schwartzkopf. He said:”I believe that forgiving them is God’s function. Our job is simply to arrange the meeting.”
Do your part
From a retired government employee . . .When you get ads in your phone or utility bill,include them with thepayment. Let them throw it away. Think globally, actlocally.
When you get those pre-approved letters in the mailfor everything fromcredit cards to second mortgages and junk like that,most of them come withpostage paid return envelopes, right?
Well, why not get rid of some of your other junkmail and put it in thesecool little envelopes? Send an ad for your localchimney cleaner toAmerican Express. Or a pizza coupon to Citibank. Ifyou didn’t getanything else that day, then just send them theirapplication back! Justmake sure your name isn’t on anything you send them.You can send it back empty if you want to just tokeep ’em guessing!
Let’s turn this e-mail into a chain letter!Eventually, the banks andcredit card companies will begin getting all theirjunk back in the mail.
Let’s let them know what it’s like to get junk mail,and best ofall…THEY’RE paying for it! Twice!
Let’s help keep our Postal Service busy since theysay e-mail is cuttinginto their business, and that’s why they need toincrease postage again!
Sex in the dark:
There was this couple that had been married for 20 years. Every timethey made love the husband always insisted on shutting off the lights.Well, after 20 years the wife felt this was ridiculous. She figured shewould break him out of this crazy habit. So one night, while they were in themiddle of a wild, screaming, romantic session, she turned on the lights. Shelooked down … and saw her husband was holding a battery operated pleasuredevice… a vibrator … soft, wonderful and larger than a real one. Shegoes completely ballistic. “You impotent bastard,” she screamed at him, “how could you be lying to me all of these years? You better explainyourself!” The husband looks her straight in the eyesand says calmly:……….I’ll explain the toy… if you explain the kids.”
THE “FORWARDER’S” 12 STEP PROGRAM – EVERYONE SAY IT WITH ME …
I will NOT get bad luck, lose my friends, or lose my mailinglists if I DON’T forward an e-mail!
I will NOT hear any music or see a taco dog, if I do forward ane-mail.
Bill Gates is NOT going to send me money, Victoria’s Secret doesn’tknow anything about a gift certificate they’re supposed to send me.
Ford will NOT give me a 50 percent discount even if I forward my e-mailto more than 50 people!
I will NEVER receive gift certificates, coupons or freebies fromCoca Cola, Cracker Barrel, Old Navy or anyone else if I send an e-mailto 10 people.
I will NEVER see a pop-up window if I forward an e-mail …NEVER –NEVER!
There is NO SUCH THING as an e-mail tracking program, and I amnot STUPID enough to think that someone will send me $100 forforwarding an e-mail to 10 or more people!
There is NO kid with cancer through the Make-a-Wish program inEngland collecting anything! He did when he was 7 years old. Heis now cancer free and 35 years old and DOESN’T WANT ANYMORE POST CARDS or GET WELL CARDS.
The government does not have a bill in Congress called 901B (orwhatever they named it this week) that, if passed, will enablethem to charge us 5 cents for every e-mail we send.
There will be NO cool dancing, singing, waving, colorfulflowers, characters or program that I will receiveimmediately after I forward an e-mail. NONE, ZIP, ZERO, NADA!
The American Red Cross will NOT donate 50 cents to certainindividuals dying of some never-heard-of disease for everye-mail address I send this to. The American Red Cross RECEIVESdonations.
And finally, I WILL NOT let others guilt me into sending thingsby telling me I am not their friend or that I don’t believe inJesus Christ. If God wants to send me a message, I believe thebushes in my yard will burn before He picks up a PC to pass it on!
Now, repeat this to yourself until you have it memorized, and sendit along to at least five of your friends before the next full moonor you will surely be constipated for the next three months and allof your hair will fall out!
Just Kidding…
Bikernet Blonde Joke
A blonde and her husband were hunting in the woods when the husband falls to the ground. He doesn’t seem to be breathing, his eyes are rolled back in his head.
The blonde whips out her cell phone and calls 911. She gasps to the operator, “I think my husband is dead, what can I do?”
The operator in a calm voice says, “Just take it easy. I can help. First, lets make sure he’s dead.”
There is a silence, then a shot is heard.
The blonde comes back on the line, “OK, now what?”
Twin Towers
This picture was taken by a guy returning on a cruise this past summer (July 28, 2001). It is a sunrise over lower Manhattan.
HE Writes: As I watched the beautiful skyline of New York City float past me, I noticed the sun was about to line up just behind the Twin Towers. I was lucky enough to snap the picture at exactly the right moment. If you look at the sun rays it is almost prophetic – a little spooky.
When I show this picture to anyone they almost always asks for a copy. I just want to share it with all who want it. Please take this picture and share it with anyone and everyone who likes it. I’ve been printing them like crazy on my home computer.
