6. A liberal is someone who feels a great debt to his fellow man, which debt he proposes to payoff with your money. -- G. Gordon Liddy
7. Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner. -- James Bovard, Civil Libertarian (1994)
8. Foreign aid might be defined as a transfer of money from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries. -- Douglas Casey, Classmate of Bill Clinton at Georgetown University

FIVE BEST SENTENCES
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2.What one person receives without working for...another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work, because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work, because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation!

Maya Angelou....a phenomenal lady....

Maya Angelou was interviewed by Oprah on her 70+ birthday. Oprah asked her what she thought of growing older. And, there on television, she said it was 'exciting...'
Regarding body changes, she said there were many, occurring every day.....like her breasts. They seem to be in a race to see which will reach her waist, first.
The audience laughed so hard they cried. She is such a simple and honest woman, with so much wisdom in her words!
Maya Angelou said this:
'I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.'
'I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.'
'I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.'
'I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as 'making a life.'
'I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.'
'I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back...'
'I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.'
'I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.'
'I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back...'
'I've learned that I still have a lot to learn..'
'I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.'

Abducted Dutch boy freed in Malaysia after ransom paid
The parents of a 12-year-old Dutch boy who was kidnapped a week ago in Malaysia said their son had been safely returned to the family Thursday, with police revealing a ransom had been paid.
Nayati Moodliar was walking to the Mont Kiara International School located in an upmarket suburb near the capital Kuala Lumpur last Friday when he was kidnapped by two men who bundled him into a car.
The "traumatised" boy was found early Thursday by his family on the edge of a highway north of the capital after he telephoned them using a mobile phone left behind by the kidnappers, police said.
"We have got NAYATI back. He is back (in) our arms again. Thank you all for your support! -- Moodliar Family," the parents said in a post on Facebook, which along with Twitter they had used to appeal for their son's release.
The family made no comment on a ransom but Kuala Lumpur police chief Mohmad Salleh said one was paid Wednesday to free the boy, who has dual Dutch and South African nationality.
However, he did not say who paid the ransom or how much it was.
"We are glad he is free. Investigations are continuing to identify the kidnappers," he told a media conference.
Mohmad said the boy was safe and did not suffer any injuries but was in a traumatised state.
"The boy has been traumatised by the incident. We will allow him to rest for a day or two and then will seek information regarding the event," he said.
Mohmad said kidnapping was a serious offence in Malaysia and the perpetrators could face death by hanging.
The kidnapping had even drawn the attention of Prime Minister Najib Razak, who used Twitter to urge his release: "I appeal as a father for Nayati not to be harmed in any way."
Malaysians forgetting their differences sent up prayers as a country for the safe return of Nayati...and their prayers were answered this morning...

what do you do when your world crumbles around you...everything turns to dust within a span of a few weeks...things that are dear to you...things that keep you going...things that keep you occupied...everything taken away heartlessly...what do you do when the pain becomes unbearable...what do you do when your heart threatens to stop at any moment...what do you do when you feel your strength ebbing away bit by tiny bit...oh..please...stop this torture...I can't take this any more...

My most favourite lines from my most favourite writer....these lines pull at my heart strings every time I read them...I see a reflection of many of us here...the way we hold back...and regret afterwards...
I had gone a-begging from door to door in the village path, when thy golden chariot appeared in the distance like a gorgeous dream and I wondered who was this King of all kings!
My hopes rose high and me thought my evil days were at an end, and I stood waiting for alms to be given unasked and for wealth scattered on all sides in the dust.
The chariot stopped where I stood. Thy glance fell on me and thou camest down with a smile. I felt that the luck of my life had come at last. Then of a sudden thou didst hold out thy right hand and say `What hast thou to give to me?'
Ah, what a kingly jest was it to open thy palm to a beggar to beg! I was confused and stood undecided, and then from my wallet I slowly took out the least little grain of corn and gave it to thee.
But how great my surprise when at the day's end I emptied my bag on the floor to find a least little gram of gold among the poor heap. I bitterly wept and wished that I had had the heart to give thee my all.
