Too Many American Leaders & Media In Denial Of Our Economic Plight


Where the heck are we going?


Where are these facts stated by government officials and many news media that the economic is healthy and not in recession? We hear about all the jobs being created. Exactly what jobs are being filled by U.S. citizens?


Unemployment in the U.S. is the highest in many years and the outlook remains gloomy.

Another question: How many homeowners are there in the U.S.?


Very few officials and news media are being truthful when reviewing the status of homeownership in the U.S. Some say that most (up to 94 percent) are “able” to pay their mortgages. So, a measly six percent of maybe 100 million Americans who own homes can NOT pay their mortgages? What

Like millions of other red-blooded, unathletic men across America, I spent a good portion of Super Bowl Sunday sitting on the couch, eating handfuls of assorted snack foods, and whining every time a player from my team made even the teeniest mistake.

Change Happens When We Facilitate It


Super Tuesday fell a bit shy of its advertising.


Although it felt good to finally have the opportunity to cast a vote in a presidential primary that actually mattered (traditionally, Illinois would join the fray sometime after a candidate had amassed enough delegates for nomination), Americans were left with two parties still pummeling themselves from within.


The national fractiousness, begun in earnest with the crowning of Saint Ronnie Reagan in 1980, has persisted unfettered right into the 21st Century. Cartel RoveCheneyBush continues to rend our Nation into shreds of fat and gristle, aided and abetted by pompous evangelical gasbags who dictate free will over their personal disciples in order to keep them in lockstep with the oppressive Wehrmacht of the military-industrial complex.

President Bush expects a lot from individual Americans.


Based on his latest federal budget proposal, he has grave expectations.


Over the next five years, Bush wants to slash Medicare and Medicaid by $200 billion.


That means the elderly and the poor get the Freddy Krueger treatment.

Nature Tourism List Initiated


COLLEGE STATION – A list of nature tourism operations in Texas is being compiled in order to help develop assistance for owners and awareness programs for users.


“This is being done in order to assess the growth and demand of the industry,” said Miles Phillips, Texas AgriLife Extension Service nature tourism leader. “It will also help the traveling public find nature tourism businesses to enjoy.”


The list will be an ongoing effort, he said, so that businesses can add information at any time.


An online form is available to encourage all nature tourism business operators to get their companies listed. The form is at


http://naturetourism.tamu.edu


“In addition to the traditional hunting and fishing places,” Phillips said, “nature tourism businesses might include agricultural tours such as hayrides and pick-your-own produce, or adventure tour operations, including biking, paddling, canoeing, ATV trails and lodging facilities that cater to these markets.”<mdphillips@ag.tamu.edu>, 979-845-1023, or Dr. Michael Schuett, AgriLife Extension specialist, <mschuett@tamu.edu>.
