We are presently living in an era with an all-time record number of simultanious world leaders!

Near as I can tell, the previous highest-ever number of simultanious female world leaders was 13. It occured three times in all.
First in July of 2002 when Lativa, Finland, New Zealand, Ireland, Sri Lanka, The Philippines, Indonesia, Panama, Bangladesh, Sengal, São Tomé and Príncipe, and South Korea all had female leaders. Second in early April of 2006 with Ireland, New Zealand, Lativa, Finland, the Philippines, Bangledesh, Mozambique, Germany, Liberia, South Korea, Chile, Jamaica, and Sao Tomé and Príncipe. Thirdly in January-March 2007 with Ireland, New Zealand, Lativa, Finland, Philippines, Bangladesh, Mozambique, Germany, Liberia, Chile, Jamaica, Switzerland, and South Korea. 

What's in the Health Care Bill?

I like many of you am very skeptical about the health care bill that was passed on March 21st 2010 because a country that is this far into dept and who hides more things then it shares may have some very unnerving loop holes in the works with such a bill. For example the clause that states that it will now be mandatory for everyone to receive up to date vaccines. This coming from the same president that declared a national emergency with the H1N1 "PANDEMIC" that killed less people than the regular seasonal flu does on average. What do they take us for? Honestly, can we not make our own conscious decisions, I respect all those who choose to be vaccinated but I do not appreciate being forced to take them or face a $1000 dollar fine and no health insurance as a result of my not accepting this. I will definitely be one of those people who will fight for that clause to be changed because it is unacceptable! Now we all know that politically this is the biggest feat for Obama as president so it definitely looks good on paper, but lets not just take the summary of what the health care bill is and celebrate, we must be proactive and think for ourselves. If you would like more information about vaccines just research their pros and cons, you'll be amazed at what you discover! More posts will come where I will try to break the bill down until there is nothing left that is confusing. Here is a summary of what it entails as it appears on the official website...

The U.S Constitution

Certain things we should all know as responsible citizens!

Modern Day Slavery

I recently had a very passionate discussion with someone about the existence of modern day slavery and not just the ones that are bound by shackles. The all elusive American Dream of success with the white picket fence seems as far fetched now as unicorns, and having a mixed president doesn’t do any justice, when that president’s politics are increasingly more and more similar to the treacheries of the Cheney (Bush) administration. It’s no longer about race even though it’s ridiculous to deny it’s existence, the true evil now is CLASSISM. If you are of middle or lower class your freedom is at stake, and what is life worth without freedom? The laws that have been set forth in this past decade right under our noses our depriving us of true freedom, anyone who willingly gives up their rights in the name of security deserves none of the aforementioned. Therefore those of you who truly know that being an American means being an intelligent, courageous, compassionate, responsible citizen verses a legion of mindless automatons must stand up and fight for your rights!!! There are several legal proceedings that truly deserve our utmost attention, such as The Patriot Act and the attempt on taking away our second amendment The Right to bear arms which essentially is what differentiates us from other known police states (ie within Europe). It is our duty as American citizens to fight for the constitution which we by birth have inherited, or by choosing to call this our homeland, it doesn’t matter the color of your skin, how much money you have in the bank or even your intelligence to date you have the right to be free in this country so long you will protect it.

Multivitamin Supplement - Children's Chewables for Kids

Here is a multi vitamin for children that doesn't contain ASPARTAME. It took me a very long time to find one seeing as to how most children's vitamins contain the aspartame as a poisonous sweetener. It is slightly more expensive but will pay off in the long run, please invest the money for your children and steer away from ones such as the Flinstones. If you can't afford this one Marvel Children'S Multiple Vitamin And Mineral Supplement The Amazing Spider-Man Gummies 180 CT also doesn't contain the poison. Hopefully this is of some help.
