Isn't that the truth, don't ever, as they say, "judge a book by it's cover" you never know the promise that lies within.
Congrats on the eye-opening, I'm always happy when others realize that what's within is what matters, not what is on the outside, because so many can be wrong. Thank you again, for opening eyes.

You know whats a nuisance? Drivers on cell phones who don't pay attention to where they're driving, cut you off, go through red lights because they're not paying attention, have no hands on the wheel because they're digging to find their "ringing" cell phone to answer it, dialing a number, whatever, but people need to be given tickets for using a cell phone, where are the laws for that!! Ever see how many accidents happen because of that? I've yet to see any for runners, get on ball lets get those people talking on cell phones, not just texting, and stop the accidents cause because of this!! Stop the killing, the "murders" caused by people on cell phones!

Another thumbs up for Kutter and SCWHOG is for the past 18 years, they've done the CAMDEN Playground Ride which has raised about $3,000. for the maintenance of the Playground. This is their longest running fundraiser!
They are the Playground's sole supporters, without being asked they do this ride every year. Without them the largest accessible playground and MOST accessible playground IN THE WORLD could become in disrepair. Janesville should be proud of these wonderful people and this business for all they do for our community.
These are people from all walks of life, they are your neighbors, clergymen, doctors, lawyers, nurses, clerks, friends, relatives. Support them on the MDA ride and all rides they do, because even if you're not out there helping others, they are. They care and help everyone, they aren't the stereotypes you see in movies, on tv. They are wonderful, caring people, stop down and meet them, meet those who own Kutters, you won't be surprised, they're just like you!

I am so proud of our President, because despite the much tossed around words like "socialist" and "communism" which are truly false in the real sense of the words, he still stands above all others.
He worked before he was even in office to strive towards strengthening ties between countries, something we all know will help our future endeavors, despite criticism. This is why I voted for him and am still proud of it, he has the intelligence to move forward, he knows to get out of war it won't be an "overnight" project, anyone in their right mind knows this will still take years, but he is working harder for the United States then I've seen other presidents do so recently and it shows.
If diplomacy can be reached, this will be better for the U.S. in regards for jobs (increase because we would be able to send what we make to other countries, instead of all the imports, meaning more jobs); peace (more ready to accept us once again instead of our tarnished past); and education (think of how much more advanced some of these countries are in regards to education and the things which could be learned).
There is much more that would come because of of the work OUR President has been doing, and if we all worked together and backed him, like a NATION it would united this country like no other.
Stand up, don't separate!

So many who don't believe still out there, so many "Christians" unwilling to allow them to be spoken to. God isn't present just in churches, He is Omnipresent....everywhere, and I do believe that means bars too.
1Corinthians 3:9 says: "For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's
building." To me this says WE are the church, not a building, not a home, not a bar, but US. So for all of you who criticize and yet go out to bars, to strip clubs, who read X-rated things, you who "judge" you too are defiling God's "Church".
I have two things to say to those who are holding service at Willowdale and the first is, I'm proud to call you sisters and brothers in God. Spreading the word of the Lord is something all should do, yet few have no matter where it's done.
And secondly, I'll quote Matthew 10 which says "blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
One day I'll see you in our heavenly home, for all you others, start using your "church" and spead the word, no matter where you are, instead of criticizing where others do it.

If cigarette smoke only affected and went to the one smoking, fine, let them use it, but when I am invited in and their smoke makes it's way over to me, endangering my life, that is when it bothers me.
I shouldn't have to put myself in the way of getting lung cancer, emphesyma, or any other number of diseases just because someone else feels the need to keep up a habit.
If they want to die, stay home and puff your butt, drink your six pack or mixed drink then if you must, but dont bring it to the bar and do it under my face or close enough that it finds it's way to me or those of us who are allergic to it or just don't wish to die from second hand smoke.
We cherish our lives, our lungs, our fresh air, even if you don't. We've lived our lives without this smoke filled haze we find at times from one person lighting up and putting out then lighting up again one after another.
Sorry, but sometimes life is tough, there are ways to get help and stop this addiction, and yes it's hard, but it can be done, you just need to have the will.
My father and mother both smoked for since they were teens until their mid-forties, many many years and they quit, I've seen them go through it. You just have to be very strong. So why not at least try before you endanger your lives.
Smoke free is the only way to go, breathe free, clean air, the ability to talk without having to gasp for air, good smelling breath, non-ashtray tasting kisses..think about it. Everyone benefits.

Know why they're not bothering closing the Texas plant? Because Bush is from Texas and they wouldn't dare close that plant, that is exactly why they're not closing that one. They chose this one in Janesville instead, the oldest, the largest. Why do something that is in the President's home state and disrupt good old Bush's home state.

Spanking, is considered abuse because I know of parents who's kids have called the cops on their parents because they've gotten a simple spanking, and before anyone comments, it was on the behind, nothing harsh. The parents were told it was abuse. Now how are the parents supposed to discipline their kids and yet help them understand anything. Tell them to stand in the corner, sit on a chair for "time out". Oh boy, now I'm scared, a time out is going to help them understand that running out in the road and getting hit by a car is a danger to them. I'm sorry, but if my kid would go out to steal something, or beat the heck out of another kid, is a time out going to help them understand how wrong this is? Of if they pull out a knife and threaten the life of another child, is a stand int he corner or being sent to their room going to teach them a thing? I dont think so. How is a parent going to help their child when they are restricted by the law from doing a dang thing to help them understand what is right and what is wrong? They do anything to discipline their child (and no I'm not talking abuse here, I'm talking about the type of discipline I got when I was a child that taught me that 7 letter word that the majority of kids don't even know the meaning of now a days, R-E-S-P-E-C-T) to help them grow and understand what respect is and keep them out of gangs. It's LOVE and RESPECT they need to learn. If parents weren't so busy trying to keep food on the table, having to take two jobs because of the economy, and had the time to stay home with their kids, especially in one parent families (no Im not insulting them at all, don't get me wrong, sometimes it's necessary), and things were affordable, and there was more RESPECT towards parents, kids, and one another, maybe then gangs wouldn't be around!

McCain? who's that, sorry, but McCain is too much of an "all war" guy, and to have someone in office who is all about war, sorry, I'm not interested in someone like that. We have had too much involvement in sticking our noses into other peoples business. Yes I know we're not going to get out of Iraq real soon, but I also know we do not need someone in office who is willing to be pushing for war constantly like McCain. No thank you, all you who are willing to push someone into office who wants that can take care of all the parents who's kids will die in those wars and comfort them. I'm not willing to do that. Obama all the way and I know he has the commonsense to take the time to choose a running mate who will be there for him. As for his minister, is his name Obama, did he make his decisions for him? No, stop pushing his minister on us, he's not Obama. Just like my minister and your minister and teachers beliefs aren't yours. Get a life, people.

Suggestion for those who are of legal age to vote: Think about those who will work TOGETHER with all, no matter what party, those who will take OUR President's ideas and improve upon them, because he has come up with some which WE, yes WE wanted to begin with, which would work wonderfully, with a little "tweaking". But currently our government is so busy "fighting" over who is right and who is wrong, they're not thinking about "We the People" as they should be.
You look at the ads on tv, half of them are so busy saying "this guy is doing this" or "That one is doing that" that they aren't even saying what they will do for US, and people are still saying " Well I'm voting this this guy or that guy.
How can you vote for someone when you don't know what in the world they plan on doing for you?? That's what I don't understand? And this "tea party movement", if you read between the lines, the head "leader" is a racist, get the background on him and the movements around the country. They have held rallies where the speeches have been laced with racism, and signs were even held showing. Their supported candidate, Rand Paul is a white separatist, read up on him how they even sent money to support him!!
According to FEC records, at least three people associated with white separatism have donated to Paul.
"Former Vanderbilt professor and self-described separatist Virginia Abernethy gave Paul $500 in March, records show. Separatist movement leader William Johnson gave Paul $500 in August last year, and Carl Ford, identified by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a member of the separatist League of the South, gave Paul $400 in March."

From Newsweek: Ever since the Tea Party phenomenon gathered steam last spring, it has been plagued by charges of racism. Placards at rallies have depicted President Barack Obama as a witch doctor, denounced his supposed plans for "white slavery," and likened Congress to a slave owner and the taxpayer to a "n----r." (read the survey results below, you'll be shocked.)

People, you have to wake up, vote responsibly, this is a right which you were given hundreds of years ago, don't waste it, make it count and make it so it works for US, the REAL people. Don't let it be dictated by the rich, don't let it be dictated by those who want to use you as puppets!
MAKE the government work together, instead of argue so we can get the country back together on it's feet again and become UNITED! It is WE THE PEOPLE, not THEY THE GOVERNMENT, remember that!
