		<description>Media is at it again....CNN running programs &quot;Can It Happen Again Here in the USA&quot; - of course it can. Can my house catch fire? Can I break my leg tripping of something. Yes yes yes. Their angle is all wrong and I resent it. Anyone else&#039;s thoughts?</description>

		<description>I too believe that those of us with ADD are here to shake up the world.  Almost daily, I have to remind parents of my ADD patients that it is unnatural to expect children to SIT in boxes, cut off from the world which invites them to learn by exploring.  It&#039;s not the square pegs that are wrong, it&#039;s the holes we try to force them into.

As for the world ending, I believe (or at least hope) that a NEW world will be born when the number of like-minded people reaches critical mass, forcing a much-needed paradigm shift.

I&#039;m also very pleased to know that you, Wayne, are still the very cool guy I knew in Houston back in 1958!  (I still have a photo of you in your black leather motorcycle jacket.)  You haven&#039;t changed a bit.  Keep up the good work.

		<description>There IS intelligent life down here!!!  I LOVE YOU, MAN!  (I mean Doc...)  I laughed out loud at some of your comments relative to airport security...many a time, I&#039;ve gotten onboard with some kind of contraband or another...airport security regulations/enforcement/employees are stooooopid!  (Well, shouldn&#039;t say the employees - they&#039;re people just doing their jobs...besides if I could count the times I opened my mouth and stuck my foot in, well, you know...)

Yes, ADD people definitely have been put here to challenge the system - I know I&#039;m probably considered a nuisance and I AM a self-proclaimed &quot;nut job&quot; - but heck, at least I&#039;m not a dumb sheep that believes EVERYTHING the media says - It&#039;s my personal policy to believe very little of what I see and NONE OF WHAT I HEAR OR READ IN THE NEWS ... mediocrity is the tendency of the masses ...and conspiracy is my middle name...

ANYWAY, DOC...GLAD YOU&#039;RE ON MY TEAM and PROUD TO BE YOUR PATIENT !!!  Susan Hogan</description>

		<description>I completely agree that it is the moderate Muslim community
who is going to have to attack this &quot;mindset&quot; head on! I
don&#039;t know why we don&#039;t have a talk show going right now
with Muslims and non-Muslim Americans..... That said, I
also found this little answer to the fear of flying madness
that is going on right now:

Subject: Memo to the FAA

TO: Federal Aviation Administration

Our airline industry is in real trouble, and it&#039;s time to start fixing this before it&#039;s too late.

To that end, here are some modest suggestions:

Dump the male flight attendants. No one wanted them in the first place. Replace all the female flight attendants with good-looking strippers!  What the hell?  The attendants have gotten old and haggard-looking. They don&#039;t even serve food anymore, so what&#039;s the loss? The strippers would at least triple the alcohol sales and get a &quot;party atmosphere&quot; going in the cabin.  And, of course, every heterosexual businessman in this country would start flying again, hoping to see naked women. Because of all the tips, the female flight attendants wouldn&#039;t need a salary, thus saving even more money.  Hell, I suspect tips would be so good that we could charge the women for working and have them kick back 20 percent of the tips, including lap dances and &quot;special services.&quot;
Muslims would be afraid to get on the planes for fear of seeing naked women.  Hijackings would come to a screeching halt and the airline industry would see record revenues.
This is definitely a win-win situation if we handle it right.  A golden opportunity to turn a liability into an asset.
Why the hell didn&#039;t Bush think of this?

Why do I still have to do everything myself?

Sincerely,
Bill Clinton</description>

		<description>When I heard the news Thursday, it made me a little paranoid since we are planning a trip to vegas this fall.  I thought I just can&#039;t handle all of this.  I thought I really hate people at the airport picking people at random and serching their things.  This happened right after 911 to a friend of mine who was searched not once but 3 times before we got on the plane I was furious I totally freaked out I said can&#039;t you do your job right, it takes 3 times that&#039;s scary. and the worst point is that the person that is going to hijack or blowup the plane gets on and is not checked. thats my fear.  I thought god, we have to go thru this again! My parents are going on vacation in a few weeks and have to board a plane 5 times.  I just can&#039;t handle it.  I know they are trying to do their jobs.  I am already trying to start to just accept what will happend at the airport that I cant control what happens and it is for our safety.  I plan not to carry on a bag and pray no one stills my medication in my suitcase. it is pretty sad when it has come down to this people cant even enjoy their vacations because of those people the terroists.  and they hate americans. I truly believe if they could just blow us all up they would.  thats the mindset they have their god told them to do it.  Don&#039;t you just love the crap we have to go thu!</description>

		<description>I agree that end is not now, but the combination of people willing to give their lives for fanatical causes and one of those causes happens to be they hate YOU - that is scary. How there hasnt been a suicide bomb in this country is beyond me - perhaps we have overestimated the numbers of those willing to die for fanatical causes. I wish in this recent &quot;destruction from liquid bombs&quot; discovery had more focus on the fact that the plot WAS indeed uncovered before it happened. We should be cheering that and law enforcement agencies should be sharing how it was done. Lastly - the concept from the old days of &quot;I hope they catch these guys and give them what they deserve&quot; - that concept is dead. What does is matter that these people are &quot;caught&quot; or punished. It means that that there 100 million - less 24 suspects. Long way to go.

I agree wholeheartedly with this quote of Wayne&#039;s &quot;But I also feel that as a group the Muslims have been way too passive in confronting their extremist factions.&quot; C&#039;mon guys - step up...last I heard that &quot;next world&quot; isnt any different or better than this one....

		<description>Your End might be our Beginning!
Current mood:  annoyed
Category: Goals, Plans, Hopes

Okay, already! I&#039;ll see your End Times and I&#039;ll call you on it!

I have gotten so many posts lately raving that Id better repent because the time is very close. I saw it on the news tonight as well: pastors telling the congregations that it&#039;s about 7 years away!

God knows how busy you people are with all us heathens!  So many to save, so little time to do it. Well, first you have to convince us!

I&#039;ve thought about this a lot and I think I may have an answer.

Since you will be so busy at your respective churches---you can set up phone lines and computer rooms and put cots all around the dining hall, and this will save you needed time in driving in all this traffic every day.

So, heres the deal: You turn over the deeds to your homes, boats, planes, businesses, etc. because you want to convince us, and because if it is the end times, wouldn&#039;t it be silly to go about life as if you were planning for the future or something?

How about stocks and bonds? Surely you won&#039;t need them, and jewelry and art and silver and furs. Show me the money! You

cant take this stuff with you when the big &quot;scoop&quot; comes and all the saved are lifted up into the heavens.  This is what we will do; heathens that we are. We will turn your homes, lakehouses, beachfront properties, extra automobiles into charities and put in hospice care for the needy. We will start boarding homes for the pregnant teens, and we will turn your apartment buildings into half-way houses and treatment centers for addicts and mentally disturbed people. We will sell your jewels and art and pay the unemployed to work these new charity jobs.

We will give your clothing to the poor and set up scholarships with your pensions and savings. Im sure the government would allow you to sign over your health insurance and life insurance for this cause (there are a lot of non-believers in politics.) So, let us unburden you as the time is descending upon us and let us help you to earn your extra credit that you need to get those tickets aboard the big scooper! Noah gave all of his worldly goods away,  packed up and split-- look how well it paid off for him? Time&#039;s a tick&#039;n and we really need to get right on this. Here is your chance to show us what you&#039;re made of---and maybe just maybe you will win a few of us over in the meantime. If not, well---we will just go on our wicked ways trying to make this earth a better place until the wrath of God swats us down for our evilness and self-centeredness. You will get your reward, and we will get what ever is coming to us. Deal???????

Oh, and if some of you are wavering as I know many saved Chritians do, here is a  promise to you which may comfort you just a little. If by chance, you are wrong and this world continues on say another 10 years or so, we will rent you rooms at half price
because we want to be able to catch the next

&quot;End Times&quot; in about 20 years without bad business reputations. A kind of &quot;good faith effort!&quot; Let&#039;s talk business!</description>
