GOD BLESS ALL our Fallen Soliders May 30 2011 16:15:41
A Day of Prayer,
For those who are aware,
Of the needless death,
And needless strife,
And needless tears from a fallen soldiers Wife,
If only we had known,
That the battle wasn't our own,
That it had been manifested,
By those who were destined,
To show their strength by force,
As a matter of course,
In order to control and manipulate others,
Which in turn has killed too many of our brothers.
Upon their return,
The ones who were shipped in a box,
Who oddly enough,
Gained their FREEDOM,
In the form of a Military Funeral.
The rest of them linger,
As the Government decides their fate,
For there is no true support,
For them who return thru the gates.
So whatever you celebrate,
On this Memorial Day,
Do so in remembrance,
Of the ones we have lost,
And what it has cost,
The lives of their families,
The Wives and Mother's, Children and Father's too,
Who have lost someone that may have been YOU.
Do so in respect,
For they did not know,
That our own Government,
Would let them down so.
Today is the day to honor them ALL,
From the Civil War till now and beyond,
They will always be the "Honored Ones"...
May God Bless ALL of OUR Soldiers,
Whether they be alive or passed,
They will remain in MY heart,
Till I too have passed.

Several Kentucky farmers have filed a class-action lawsuit against a leading tobacco merchant they say failed to honor contracts to purchase burley tobacco from them at the end of the 2010 crop year.
Now some of the farmers say they would rather leave the business than gamble on tobacco.
The lawsuit, which was filed against Universal Leaf North America last week in Harrison Circuit Court, says hundreds of farmers have lost what amounts to millions.
Among the plaintiffs are Jerry Feagan of Berry, Steve Lang of Cynthiana and Thomas Leach and Larry O'Neill, both of Dry Ridge, who say agents of Universal Leaf North America refused to accept tobacco, the lawsuit says. They are seeking monetary damages to be determined at trial.
Universal Corporation, which is based in Richmond, Va., is the world's leading tobacco merchant and processor, the lawsuit said. Universal Corporation is the parent company of ULNA, which is based in Nashville, N.C., and registered to do business in Kentucky.
This helps explain the crisis in Egypt as other areas... Feb 10 2011 22:59:05
The Egyptian military has been secretly detaining and torturing those it suspects of being involved in pro-democracy protests, according to testimony gathered by the British newspaper the Guardian.
The newspaper, quoting human rights agencies, put the number of people detained at "hundreds, possibly thousands," since protests against Hosni Mubarak, the Egyptian president, began on January 25.
While the military has said it is playing a neutral role in the political unrest, the newspaper quoted human rights campaigners as saying this was no longer the case, accusing the army of being involved in an organised campaign of disappearances, torture and intimidation.

One of the lines of the speech that rang loudest was, "I call upon the young people - heroes of Egypt - go back to your houses, go back to work. The homeland needs your work. Do not listen to the satellite stations that have no objective but to weaken Egypt and mar its image. Just listen to your consciences."
