    How many zeros in a billion?

    This is too true to be funny.

    The next time you hear a politician use the
    Word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about
    Whether you want the 'politicians' spending
    YOUR Tax money.
    A billion is a difficult number to comprehend,
    But one advertising agency did a good job of
    Putting that figure into some perspective in
    One of its releases.


    A. A billion seconds ago it was 1959.

    B. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.

    C. A billion hours ago our ancestors were
    Living in the Stone Age.

    D. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.

    E. A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, At the rate our government Is spending it.

    While this thought is still fresh in our brain, let's take a look at New Orleans It's amazing what you can learn with some simple division


    Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (D),

    Is presently asking the Congress for $250 BILLION To rebuild New Orleans . Interesting number,

    What does it mean?

    A. Well, if you are one of 484,674 residents of
    New Orleans (every man, woman, child), You each get $516,528.

    B. Or, if you have one of the 188,251 homes in New Orleans , your home gets $1,329,787.

    C. Or, if you are a family of four, your family gets $2,066,012.


    Washington, D. C

    < HELLO! >

    Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago,
    And our nation was the most prosperous in the world.
    We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.

    What happened?

    Can you spell 'politicians!'

    And I still have to

    'press 1'

    For English.


    What the heck happened??

    Wow, it's been a while Mag, but in quick answer to your post #1319..
    Absolutely right! The globe will be better off once it has been cleaned and gets a new chance to produce a more valuable life-form. And I sincerely hope that the DNA for greed will never be reproduced.

    Post #1317 was hard reading but very legitimate - eventually the darkness will also be swallowed up into a void and their power will no longer have the influence it has now. But I am not sure it will happen in my time, or within the next decade. I just hope for my offsprings, that the transition is not too elaborate as to cause a diversion from their goal for peace and harmony. This is what I wish for the next generations to come, if they get the chance to find within the difference between greed and a humanly comfortable existence. I tried to connect to the link but was not able to.

    Unfortunately there are still forces out there that try to convince us (the people) that we don't count.. and try everything in their power to divert us from real problems by creating diversions on the media. It is time to wake up - and not watch too much biased media coverage.

    Magprob, I am so glad that I have the privilege knowing you. It's better late than never to find someone we can have deep and insightful dialogues with. I thank you.

    Hi mag, dear. Just dropping in to wish you a nice weekend.

    Have a bit of weakness from my cancer and side-effects from the infusion I had yesterday, so I will be scarce for a few days trying to rest up. A lot more doctor's visits to schedule next week, and not really looking forward to it.

    And Yup, that sure does look like there's water on mars, I see it.

    TTFN,
    Chery

    http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15/15_11_2.gifI'd rather be with my grandson on vacation in Amsterdam this weekend, but dumb old body won't go along with that idea. Shucks!

    I'll try my sweet, but my mind is racing even though the body is burned out right now. I also wanted to start on the jigs@w puzzles this weekend because I hope to be with Alex the next one. We'll see.. will work from my 'bed' and just lay down when it gets too much. Right now, I think I'll eat something.

    TTFN, dear sister.

    Hey Chery,
    You do what you got to do then give me a holler.
    As a matter of a fact, I'd like to be in Amsterdam right now sitting in the Milkyway having a drink and listening to some wild azz rock and roll.
