My mom always taught me that I make my own 'row to hoe'
in life.

In case you never have had a row to hoe, let me explain.


You plant seeds in the dirt in a straight line....You take a hoe, and you create a llittle channel on each side so the water will get to the seeds and later the roots.

The crops you get depend on the seeds you sow, the effort you put into the hoeing and the care you take for the harvest.


People will walk by your garden or crop and admire the work you have put into your plants....

When you haphazardly toss the seeds to the wind, don't bother to hoe and water when you want to, people will pass right on by and never even realize what's going on on that plot of earth.


Speech and courtesy are the same way.

When you choose your words carefully, people will see the care that you have taken to make a point.

About 9/11

I still cannot believe that people have forgotten about the WTC bombing in the early 90's

http://www.adl.org/learn/jttf/wtcb_jttf.asp


I believe that someone by the name of Bill Clinton was the president then.

What about the 'Black Hawk Down" incident?
The Beirut Marine barracks bombing?
The Disco in Germany Bombing
The Lockerbie/PanAm plane bombing?
Ask Leon Klinghoffer's family what they thought about him being shot and pushed off the Achille Lauro in his wheelchair.

And then you have the OK city bombing.......I guess Tim Mcveigh gets a pass on that one because he was an American?


You are worried about an attack that took place on American soil and that's the only time it will rankle anyone's arse because ALL THE OTHER STUFF HAPPENED OVERSEAS.......

Boo hoo for five seconds and let's go on with our lives.....it's a few soldiers in a disco, some sailors on a boat and 232 Marines asleep in a barracks.

Then it's a paraplegic in a wheelchair swimming with the fishes.

We have been the target of terrorism for YEARS. It's just no one was stupid enough (Except for the '93 WTC bombing) to bring it home to roost in the United States......

When you blame Bush blame Clinton, Bush, Reagan, Carter and all the rest of the president's who had a terrorist attack happen on their watch.

After you blame the presidents blame yourself and then blame your parents for subscribing to the "let's cut the military budget"
line of thought.


When the next terrorist attack happens you'll hear about three sets of people,

The people who will cry about the government 'NOT DOING ENOUGH'

The people who will cry about the government "NOT ABLE TO DO ENOUGH"

And the people who won't say anything-We'll be digging them out of the rubble.

So blame the current administration, But don't forget about all the Men and Women that have died from terrorist attacks overseas over the years.

That's one thing that amazes me to this day!!!!

No one ever blames the gutless effing punks who pull these stunts off...

We turn on each other like rabid weasels, biting and gnawing on each other because it's dark inside the hole in the ground.

Actually, you can't be mad at Muhammad Atta and his friends.

We need someone/something physical to vent on...

You gotta love it.
