What do I Feed A Horse With StringHalt?
We had a gelding with stringhalt for several years. He had it when we bought him, but was such a great kid horse we bought him anyway. He had it pretty bad in both back legs.
As far as I know, feed has nothing to do with it, but I never did find out what the cause was. The best thing to help him was keeping him in good condition with excersise, plenty of it. He also was kept in a large pen, about 150 feet X 200 feet so he could move around a lot.
Because he did do that funny looking thing where he would lift his back leg up, hold it there, then slam it down to the ground, we also had a chiropractor adjust him. The chiro gave us some stretching exercises to have him to. They helped him.
Other then looking funny when he picked up his back legs, and he was very hard for the farrier to work on ( poor guy ) he was great. He was a very good gymkhana horse, trail horse, and all around horse that anyone could ride.
You may want to look up string halt in the merck vet manual online and see what it says. Maybe also talk with your vet about how to care for your horse to keep it from getting worse. Maybe even have your vet diagnose him. Depending on your farrier, he may not be correct.
Good luck
Reply:Good luck, just remember if his back feet are hard for you to pick up, have patience with him, if he truly has string halt, he cant help it. Report It
Reply:chaff would be good but if you have got rid of the dandelion from the paddok that should be ok if it's not severe it should correct itself.
a muscle relaxent is good too from the vet depending on how severe it's called mephanesin.
Reply:I don't know very much about it except that is is very similar to shivers ( which my horse has)
You might find this site helpful, it was very useful to me and he is much improved now.

What do i do with my guy problem? please help!!!!!!!!!!?
well i have been dating this guy for almost 4 years now and he today i realized that he lied about having to pay to go to the gym close to his house so that he can work out at the gym where this one girl is there that likes him. She apparently is like stocking him since he told her what time he goes to work out and she goes at the same time. I dont like it since i know she has bad intentions. She has already tried to pretend to be nice by buying a pair of shoes to buy his affections. He says its nothing, but he refuses to go a different time to work out, so what do i do? I know he talks to her when he goes there to work out. How do i get him to stop talking to her or go at a different time to work out and just brush her aside since i think he doesnt present himself as taken if she still thinks she can get him? please help. I told him how i felt and he just act like im over reacting, when i have a reason to.
What do i do with my guy problem? please help!!!!!!!!!!?

Reply:ok, why don't you go to the gym with him. just suggest the idea. if he says no, then find yourself your very own new gym buddy.
Reply:You know what to do, but for some reason you are stuck on him. He is going to see her because he wants to see her. If you like dating a man who is dating someone else, keep doing what you are doing. If you want a man who will date you and only you, you willl have to find someone else.
Reply:wise up hon...if he takes the time to stop and talk to her...at any time...she is NOT stalking him...if she was and he didnt like it...he would report her..dont you think?...if the situation was reversed...what would you do?//
Reply:Are you sure he is going to work out??? Cause it sounds to me like he is doing more than just working out

Business days?
So I ordered a pair of shoe today (Sunday April 13 2008) and it should be delievered in about 5-9 business days or 3 days since they are in stock. So Will I get them by Friday, April 25 2008 in both scenarios? And how many days does 5-9 business refer to.
Business days?
Because some businesses run 7 days a week we might expect business days to mean the same as days for them. But almost always it is intended as days of a 5 day week, excluding Saturday and Sunday.
5 business days means same date next week unless there are holidays. 9 bd is about 2 weeks. Now we might wish for more precision, but a range of 5 to 9 bd is a rough estimate, and 2 weeks is barely a promise.

Like my poem?
What happened to the days when we didn't have to worry, All the people are stuck in such a hurry, chasing the dollar of perfection, the life of their dream, but is it everything they wanted for, What happens when you can't want more. When will it be enough, when will you learn how to breathe, We can't imagine life without another dream. Five year plans, stocks and bonds, 401k's and healthcare plans, We think we have it all figured out, but is this really, what living is all about, What happened to the days when family was enough, what happened to the days when we weren't obsessed with material stuff, Carbon Copy houses popping up everywhere, all of us living in one huge square. Living the same lives in a slightly different way, We ask about the weather, and we comment on the day, Just another day, of rinse and repeat, and we need a computer just to ******* meet. What happened to the days when we didn't have to worry, All the people are stuck in such a hurry, fighting to keep up with the rest of mankind, looking for something that they'll never find. Thinking about the next move speeding in the HOV, thinking "God I wish that was me". Isn't it lovely. Isn't it nice. Where can I buy it, How much is the price. Is it really, all it's cracked up to be, There's so much in the world to see, We all wish we were loaded, and then we wouldn't have to choose, we could run all over the world in our designer shoes, and we could have it all, like the rich and famous, but instead we just die trying, trying to be something that'll earn respect, respect of people we don't even know, but it doesn't matter, as long as they see what we show, this is my house, this my car, where are you at, have you gotten this far?. Am I doing more than you, I feel better just as long as I do. What happened to the days when we didn't have to worry. All the people are stuck in such a hurry. Driving down 59 for your nine to five, fighting through traffic just to survive, Inhaling pollution in your hybrid car, never going anywhere far. Eventhough it took an hour to get where you are. and it's all okay at the end of the day, because we get three hours in our custom home, and we have wheels with lots of chrome, and this is what its all about, this is something you shouldn't doubt, We party like ******* rock stars, but really we just pretend, spending all our money just to keep up with the latest trend, so what happens when we all hit a dead end. All the pretty people with plastic perfect faces, walking the same steps, in all of the same places. Robots running the streets in a gingerbread town. and It's all okay as we swallow the lexapro down, and we can't feel our face, so we can't frown. Is it really who we want to be, is it really all it's cracked up to be, What happened to the days when we didn't have to worry, Now, all the people are stuck in such a hurry.

I like it. It is what poetry is all about.
Of course when you print it out or post it elsewhere, someplace with less space restrictions, you can format it in a little more tradtional way for poetry. Not so much a long narrative but with stanzas and stuff.
Wouldn't be cool if poetry could really change the world? Make people wake up and really see what they are doing to their lives and world? Its a dream of mine to assemble an anthology of these kinds of poems from unknown poets and then spring on the unsuspecting planet.

If i was a gay man(not discriminating)and wanted to rob a bank?

Reply:If you're going to wear a stocking make it dark navy blue with matching shoes. Heels. High, high heels.
For me, I'd just wear combat boots and nothing else. Who'd be looking at my face anyway?
Reply:The stockings that I would put over my head to rob a bank would certainly be - 'Hold-ups'.

I wish I would have…
The Senior itch- an incurable, relentless itch that we all crave to scratch. The cure? Graduation from school. As I went through my years growing up as a toddler to a senior in high school, I started craving for freedom. However, I soon realized what I desired most sometimes is not what is best for us. Although I didn’t want to admit it, I should have started preparing for college sooner when I could first distinguish the difference between the words me and I. Just being accepted into college requires students’ utmost effort and planning that I didn’t do during my prime years as a freshman.
All colleges look for how an applicant has used his years in high school and the years before that. Having a job, joining an internship, leadership roles in your school, or any competitions you joined outside of school that has promoted your self-interest. In school I never bothered even having it come to mind. I would always doodle in class with random pictures that came to mind, use the mitosis notes as a comfy pillow, and fire paper balls, covered in my spit, with a milk straw from last semester into my gray teacher’s hair; it camouflaged so I never got caught. I passed classes by coping my classmate’s homework, and sometimes occasionally seducing a girl with my charm. By the end of the year, I had nothing on my résumé but an unsightly row of F’s and strident lectures equipped with notorious looking eyes and unpolished mouths.
Education aside, I never found time within my four-year high school period to pursue the dream I desired or find a good job to pay me for future years. As a naïve child, still yearning for freedom under the caliginous confinements of the school walls, I started working long hours each day, bringing home a $24.50 a day, baggy eyes, and adhesive cow dung attached to the bottom of my shoes. As night once again took over the city of Burke, I took a gnash out of a moss-infested chicken leg; curled up under the week’s daily prophet, and slept under the heaven’s ominous eyes crying until I could cry no more. Colleges are drawn to students who have a high, rich, assortment of community service hours and evidence that shows their organizational skills. I could not find the hours needed to put into these tasks because of my naivety to not prepare early.
High school is the foundation of how the rest of your life will turn out. It is like investing in bank with two kinds of people; Players and the chumps. Players are the people think ahead of the game and instead of investing into trivial things and wasting your money away, they invest into mutual funds and stocks using their money to make more. The chumps are people who cash out their money as soon as they see a ‘I must want it’ item. If you try hard in high school, you will succeed in life, however if you waste that time, sometimes death is more appropriate. People like me face an inevitable enemy called Time. As I look back at the place where I first set foot on the green marshy field, and visit the swing set where I used to give back injuries to people on, I knew the door was closed. No longer could I go back, no more chances, no more life…
Can you read this essay and give me any suggestions if it is any good?
Yeah its pretty good. You are a good writer. I think you should get an A.
Reply:Okay so I read the first two sentences, and I already found a contradiction. You said, "an incurable, relentless itch" then in the next sentence, "The cure?" Besides that, everything else was pretty good.
Reply:its great!! I've written alot of essays but never any this good.. %26lt;:
Reply:You started out well, however, the points became more and more vague as the essay went on. You have some lines that I had to read over again to make sure the meaning was correct, and then I realized the sentence just needed adjusting, i.e., the "teacher's grey hair" and "What we desire most, is not always best."
I also wanted to know where you were going with this essay, was it a student project or are you writing your speech for the student body during graduation?
One more thing, I know for a fact there have been cases of parents that have lost their child just before graduation, that will still attend the ceremony just to see the friends graduate. I would not include the line, "if you try hard in school, you will succeed in life, however if you waste that time, sometimes death is more appropriate." This could be very offensive...
Reply:i dont have a ton of suggestions... but amazing advise. it really made me realize that as a sophmore i should really focus on the future more. the 5 min it took me to read it seriously just changed my life. thanks =)
Reply:I liked it! its written well! I loved how you used different forms of writing like personifications and metaphors cool!

Why is it, even though I think I have no interest in my ex-wife, I find myself overanalyzing her visit tonight
My ex-wife is coming over tonight for the first of what will be bi-weekly "movie nights" with the kids and me (I have majority custody, but thought she deserved to spend a couple of hours here and there with them on some weeknights).
In return for allowing this, Claire bought me a nice new bed and comforter, and I found myself being extra fastidious in making it today. I also found myself checking my dresser drawer to make sure it was stocked with condoms (yes, one left from my last girlfriend, Krystka -- it has some foreign lettering on it but the expiration date is valid), baby oil and hand towel -- even though I have no intention of even showing my wife the bedroom.
Simply, we're all going to watch "ET" with some snacks, put the kids to bed, and Claire will go home. So why then did I find myself putting on her favorite cologne today, or wearing my cool shoes even though they hurt, or getting my eyebrows waxed at the Korean place instead of getting the $50 massage plus "tip"?
Why is it, even though I think I have no interest in my ex-wife, I find myself overanalyzing her visit tonight
Call me crazy, but I am positive you can't live with someone for 17 years and just feel nothing. It may not feel like love nor hate but there is a whole gray area in there still and you haven't begun to run the gamut of emotions yet. I would bet after your last meet wanting sex could be in there somewhere even if you don't think your really attracted because its familiar, and at some point in your lives really good.
Then with the personal primping yes you do want her to want you, that is natural, even if you don't want her, some part of you is going to want to let her know you were a good thing.
If you keep scraping the layers you are going to miss all the times that were good with your family all together, Claire included.
People seem to really throw out their emotions in anger only, when a spouse cheats because its easier that way but it is mixed with your life and with your love, it is just so much easier to only pay attention to the hate or bitterness because you don't have to analyze those emotions and they are purging. You can just justify them and not feel as much of the devastation that way.
Reply:I hate to simplify this, but your ex-wife is probably hot, seeing as how she was fit to be your wife in the first place. It doesn't necessarily have to be about your feelings as some might suggest, though i wouldn't dismiss that possibility.
You are entitled to have desires regarding your children's mother. You're doing fine. Good luck.
Reply:You still call her your wife, I noticed that. The nicest thing I can ever call my ex is "my ex", and even though i have primary physical custody there is no way in h*** I would invite that man into my home for a comfy cozy "movie night". You still care deeply for her, I don't know the reason for the break-up, but it sure sounds like you still wanna be the Mr. to her Mrs.
Reply:Well sounds like u still have some feelings for her.
And her coming over tonight may give u the wrong idea why she is coming in the first place. Men tend to misjudge everything. She may or maynot be feeling the same way, but hey...better to be prepared then not.
Reply:Everything you have written here is contrary to the statement that you "have no interest in your exwife." You are doing this stuff because you want to have sex with your exwife. I don't know that this means you want to reconcile.
When you find yourself walking, talking and acting like a duck, you are quite possibly a duck. Doesn't matter how many times you tell yourself you ain't a duck... you are a freaking duck my friend.
Reply:maybe you still care about her a little? i'm sure that this woman has had an impact on your life, and even if you don't want to be with her now since she is your ex wife and all and i'm sure there is a reasonable explanation for your divorce. but people that have impacts on our lives always have a place in our hearts.
Reply:oh, come on, you know the answer to that! ;)
considering you're all set up for sex, I'd say there's still at least a LITTLE spark there. but, hun, you answered your question already!
Reply:sounds like ure falling back n love with ure wife,,n if shes making time for u n her kids to b together,sounds like she mayb hoping things will work out btween u n her,good luck.u should get some fresh flowers.
Reply:Please you know exactly what you are looking for...
LMAO @ Krandazzo - its true he is always asking questions about his "ex-wife" LOL
Reply:She was your wife you just broke up. If you really truly loved her then there is no way that you could be over her so fast. In my opinion.
Reply:Becuase you are still attracted to her.
Reply:You are obviously not over her yet.
Reply:Obviously you do have some interest. It's that simple. Either that or you think that SHE has some interest.
Reply:aww why did you block me....
guess the truth hurts......
Reply:its obvious...you sill are attracted to her...
Reply:i wanna know how much more are you going to go on about his topic...its an everyday thing man!
Reply:I've given up on you.
Reply:I don't think you are over her buddy.
Reply:It's funny that you should use the word, "over-analyzing," as that's exactly what my husband says I always do. You, my friend, are still in love with your ex-wife. You may not realize it, admit it, or want it, but it's there, deep down inside you. This doesn't mean that you are ready to forgive her or to pick up where you left off. It just means, plain and simply, that you love her and want her. Hope you have a nice family night watching the movie together. Whatever else happens, happens. You can decide. I think we all know what your wife would like. Have fun, and good luck!
Reply:Oh man, I know exactly how you're feeling!!
I'm sorta the same way with my ex...minus the checking to see if I have condoms part...here's my opinion. It's true that you are NOT interested in her, but you do want her to still be interested in you. You want her to see how together you've got it, and even though you don't really want her back, you do want her to want YOU back. Perhaps you're hoping for the sex to, again, make her want you back again...I do the same things in that I'll put up pictures of myself (in Facebook) in bathing suits or doing something fun like camping in the hopes that my ex will look at them...lame, and stupid, but I think you're doing the same things, just in a different way. Time will pass for both of us, and slowly we'll get over it...just don't forget that she's your EX for a reason!!
Reply:Oh, yes, you DO have interest in your ex-wife, sweetie. Admit it, the evidence is staring you in the face! :)
Even when I was really mad at my husband one time, and I felt like I shouldn't make the effort, I still did. I still dressed up for him, spent hours in front of the mirror, set up the bedroom for his return, and then pretended it was normal. But just like you, I thought I was simply overreacting.
But I was telling myself that. The truth is, our exes could turn into mushrooms right before our eyes BUT...we shared our bed with them, we shared our lives with them, maybe even had kids with them, learnt their secrets and told them ours. They have a piece of you that no-one has touched...and that's special! It's not something to turn away from, no matter how hard we try, it'll pop up like an annoying balloon.
You're flattered that she's coming to see you. She's flattered that you're still seeing each other, no matter if it isn't romantic, and that's replaying. You guys are bouncing off of each other and probably getting nostalgic about the good days subconsciously; so you're replaying those 'good days'. Getting prepped for sex and making an effort.
I guess it's just one of those human things, eh? Just make sure that this is what you want if you go for it. You're a great guy and just make sure you enjoy the family time before worrying about it.
All the best! x

In return for allowing this, Claire bought me a nice new bed and comforter, and I found myself being extra fastidious in making it today. I also found myself checking my dresser drawer to make sure it was stocked with condoms (yes, one left from my last girlfriend, Krystka -- it has some foreign lettering on it but the expiration date is valid), baby oil and hand towel -- even though I have no intention of even showing my wife the bedroom.
Simply, we're all going to watch "ET" with some snacks, put the kids to bed, and Claire will go home. So why then did I find myself putting on her favorite cologne today, or wearing my cool shoes even though they hurt, or getting my eyebrows waxed at the Korean place instead of getting the $50 massage plus "tip"?
Why is it, even though I think I have no interest in my ex-wife, I find myself overanalyzing her visit tonight
Call me crazy, but I am positive you can't live with someone for 17 years and just feel nothing. It may not feel like love nor hate but there is a whole gray area in there still and you haven't begun to run the gamut of emotions yet. I would bet after your last meet wanting sex could be in there somewhere even if you don't think your really attracted because its familiar, and at some point in your lives really good.
Then with the personal primping yes you do want her to want you, that is natural, even if you don't want her, some part of you is going to want to let her know you were a good thing.
If you keep scraping the layers you are going to miss all the times that were good with your family all together, Claire included.
People seem to really throw out their emotions in anger only, when a spouse cheats because its easier that way but it is mixed with your life and with your love, it is just so much easier to only pay attention to the hate or bitterness because you don't have to analyze those emotions and they are purging. You can just justify them and not feel as much of the devastation that way.
Reply:I hate to simplify this, but your ex-wife is probably hot, seeing as how she was fit to be your wife in the first place. It doesn't necessarily have to be about your feelings as some might suggest, though i wouldn't dismiss that possibility.
You are entitled to have desires regarding your children's mother. You're doing fine. Good luck.
Reply:You still call her your wife, I noticed that. The nicest thing I can ever call my ex is "my ex", and even though i have primary physical custody there is no way in h*** I would invite that man into my home for a comfy cozy "movie night". You still care deeply for her, I don't know the reason for the break-up, but it sure sounds like you still wanna be the Mr. to her Mrs.
Reply:Well sounds like u still have some feelings for her.
And her coming over tonight may give u the wrong idea why she is coming in the first place. Men tend to misjudge everything. She may or maynot be feeling the same way, but hey...better to be prepared then not.
Reply:Everything you have written here is contrary to the statement that you "have no interest in your exwife." You are doing this stuff because you want to have sex with your exwife. I don't know that this means you want to reconcile.
When you find yourself walking, talking and acting like a duck, you are quite possibly a duck. Doesn't matter how many times you tell yourself you ain't a duck... you are a freaking duck my friend.
Reply:maybe you still care about her a little? i'm sure that this woman has had an impact on your life, and even if you don't want to be with her now since she is your ex wife and all and i'm sure there is a reasonable explanation for your divorce. but people that have impacts on our lives always have a place in our hearts.
Reply:oh, come on, you know the answer to that! ;)
considering you're all set up for sex, I'd say there's still at least a LITTLE spark there. but, hun, you answered your question already!
Reply:sounds like ure falling back n love with ure wife,,n if shes making time for u n her kids to b together,sounds like she mayb hoping things will work out btween u n her,good luck.u should get some fresh flowers.
Reply:Please you know exactly what you are looking for...
LMAO @ Krandazzo - its true he is always asking questions about his "ex-wife" LOL
Reply:She was your wife you just broke up. If you really truly loved her then there is no way that you could be over her so fast. In my opinion.
Reply:Becuase you are still attracted to her.
Reply:You are obviously not over her yet.
Reply:Obviously you do have some interest. It's that simple. Either that or you think that SHE has some interest.
Reply:aww why did you block me....
guess the truth hurts......
Reply:its obvious...you sill are attracted to her...
Reply:i wanna know how much more are you going to go on about his topic...its an everyday thing man!
Reply:I've given up on you.
Reply:I don't think you are over her buddy.
Reply:It's funny that you should use the word, "over-analyzing," as that's exactly what my husband says I always do. You, my friend, are still in love with your ex-wife. You may not realize it, admit it, or want it, but it's there, deep down inside you. This doesn't mean that you are ready to forgive her or to pick up where you left off. It just means, plain and simply, that you love her and want her. Hope you have a nice family night watching the movie together. Whatever else happens, happens. You can decide. I think we all know what your wife would like. Have fun, and good luck!
Reply:Oh man, I know exactly how you're feeling!!
I'm sorta the same way with my ex...minus the checking to see if I have condoms part...here's my opinion. It's true that you are NOT interested in her, but you do want her to still be interested in you. You want her to see how together you've got it, and even though you don't really want her back, you do want her to want YOU back. Perhaps you're hoping for the sex to, again, make her want you back again...I do the same things in that I'll put up pictures of myself (in Facebook) in bathing suits or doing something fun like camping in the hopes that my ex will look at them...lame, and stupid, but I think you're doing the same things, just in a different way. Time will pass for both of us, and slowly we'll get over it...just don't forget that she's your EX for a reason!!
Reply:Oh, yes, you DO have interest in your ex-wife, sweetie. Admit it, the evidence is staring you in the face! :)
Even when I was really mad at my husband one time, and I felt like I shouldn't make the effort, I still did. I still dressed up for him, spent hours in front of the mirror, set up the bedroom for his return, and then pretended it was normal. But just like you, I thought I was simply overreacting.
But I was telling myself that. The truth is, our exes could turn into mushrooms right before our eyes BUT...we shared our bed with them, we shared our lives with them, maybe even had kids with them, learnt their secrets and told them ours. They have a piece of you that no-one has touched...and that's special! It's not something to turn away from, no matter how hard we try, it'll pop up like an annoying balloon.
You're flattered that she's coming to see you. She's flattered that you're still seeing each other, no matter if it isn't romantic, and that's replaying.

Lee Iacocca has a very strong argument about Iraq, Bush, etc. It's an easy read. Agree/Disagree/Comment?::
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Iacocca
Subject: Lee Iacocca speaks out Stay the course? You've got to be kidding. This is America, not the damned Titanic. I'll give you a sound Bite: Throw the bums out! You might think I'm getting Senile, that I've gone off my rocker, and maybe I Have. But someone has to speak up. I hardly recognize This country anymore. The President of the United States is given a free pass to ignore the Constitution, tap our phones, and lead us to war on a Pack of lies. Congress responds to record deficits by Passing a huge tax cut for the wealthy (thanks, but I Don't need it). The most famous business leaders are Not the innovators but the guys in handcuffs. While We're fiddling in Iraq, the Middle East is burning and Nobody seems to know what to do. And the press is Waving pom-poms instead of asking hard questions. That's not the promise of America my parents and yours Traveled across the ocean for. I've had enough. How About you? I'll go a step further. You can't call yourself a Patriot if you're not outraged. This is a fight I'm Ready and willing to have. My friends tell me to calm down. They say, "Lee, You're eighty-two years old. Leave the rage to the Young people." I'd love to speak to them as soon as I Can pry them away from their iPods for five seconds And get them to pay attention. I'm going to speak up Because it's my patriotic duty. I think people will Listen to me. They say I have a reputation as a Straight shooter. So I'll tell you how I see it, and it's not pretty, but at least it's real. I'm hoping to Strike a nerve in those young folks who say they don't Vote because they don't trust politicians to represent Their interests. Hey, America, wake up. These guys Work for us. Who Are These Guys, Anyway? Why are we in this mess? How did we end up with this Crowd in Washington? Well, we voted for them, or at Least some of us did. But I'll tell you what we didn't Do. We didn't agree to suspend the Constitution. We Didn't agree to stop asking questions or demanding Answers. Some of us are sick and tired of people who Call free speech treason. Where I come from that's a Dictatorship, not a democracy. And don't tell me it's all the fault of right-wing Republicans or liberal Democrats. That's an Intellectually lazy argument, and it's part of the Reason we're in this stew. We're not just a nation of Factions. We're a people. We share common principles And ideals. And we rise and fall together. Where are the voices of leaders who can inspire us to Action and make us stand taller? What happened to the Strong and resolute party of Lincoln? What happened to The courageous, populist party of FDR and Truman? There was a time in this country when the voices of Great leaders lifted us up and made us want to do Better. Where have all the leaders gone? The Test of a Leader I've never been Commander in Chief, but I've been a CEO. I understand a few things about leadership at the Top. I've figured out nine points, not ten (I don't Want people accusing me of thinking I'm Moses). I call Them the "Nine Cs of Leadership." They're not fancy or Complicated. Just clear, obvious qualities that every True leader should have. We should look at how the Current administration stacks up. Like it or not, this Crew is going to be around until January 2009. Maybe We can learn something before we go to the polls in 2008. Then let's be sure we use the leadership test to Screen the candidates who say they want to run the Country. It's up to us to choose wisely. So, here's my C list: A leader has to show CURIOSITY. He has to listen to People outside of the "Yes, sir" crowd in his inner Circle. He has to read voraciously, because the world Is a big, complicated place. George W. Bush brags About never reading a newspaper. "I just scan the Headlines," he says. Am I hearing this right? He's the President of the United States and he never reads a Newspaper? Thomas Jefferson once said, "Were it left To me to decide whether we should have a government Without newspapers, or newspapers without a Government, I should not hesitate for a moment to Prefer the latter." Bush disagrees. As long as he gets His daily hour in the gym, with Fox News piped through The sound system, he's ready to go. If a leader never steps outside his comfort zone to Hear different ideas, he grows stale. If he doesn't put his beliefs to the test, how does he know he's right? The inability to listen is a form of arrogance. It means either you think you already know it all, or you just don't care. Before the 2006 election, George Bush made a big point of saying he didn't listen to the polls. Yeah, that's what they all say when the polls stink. But maybe he should have listened, because 70 percent of the people were saying he was on the wrong track. It took a "thumping" on election day to wake him up, but even then you got the feeling he wasn't listening so much as he was calculating how to do a better job of convincing everyone he was right. A leader has to be CREATIVE, go out on a limb, be willing to try something different. You know, think outside the box. George Bush prides himself on never changing, even as the world around him is spinning out of control. God forbid someone should accuse him of flip-flopping. There's a disturbingly messianic fervor to his certainty. Senator Joe Biden recalled a conversation he had with Bush a few months after our troops marched into Baghdad. Joe was in the Oval Office outlining his concerns to the President the explosive mix of Shiite and Sunni, the disbanded Iraqi army, the problems securing the oil fields. "The President was serene," Joe recalled. "He told me he was sure that we were on the right course and that all would be well. 'Mr. President,' I finally said, 'how can you be so sure when you don't yet know all the facts?'" Bush then reached over and put a steadying hand on Joe's shoulder. "My instincts," he said. "My instincts." Joe was flabbergasted. He told Bush, "Mr. President, your instincts aren't good enough." Joe Biden sure didn't think the matter was settled. And, as we all know now, it wasn't. Leadership is all about managing change whether you're leading a company or leading a country. Things change, and you get creative. You adapt. Maybe Bush was absent the day they covered that at Harvard Business School. A leader has to COMMUNICATE. I'm not talking about running off at the mouth or spouting sound bites. I'm talking about facing reality and telling the truth. Nobody in the current administration seems to know how to talk straight anymore. Instead, they spend most of their time trying to convince us that things are not really as bad as they seem. I don't know if it's denial or dishonesty, but it can start to drive you crazy after a while. Communication has to start with telling the truth, even when it's painful. The war in Iraq has been, among other things, a grand failure of communication. Bush is like the boy who didn't cry wolf when the wolf was at the door. After years of being told that all is well, even as the casualties and chaos mount, we've stopped listening to him. A leader has to be a person of CHARACTER. That means knowing the difference between right and wrong and having the guts to do the right thing. Abraham Lincoln once said, "If you want to test a man's character, give him power." George Bush has a lot of power. What does it say about his character? Bush has shown a willingness to take bold action on the world stage because he has the power, but he shows little regard for the grievous consequences. He has sent our troops (not to mention hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi citizens) to their deaths, for what? To build our oil reserves? To avenge his daddy because Saddam Hussein once tried to have him killed? To show his daddy he's tougher? The motivations behind the war in Iraq are questionable, and the execution of the war has been a disaster. A man of character does not ask a single soldier to die for a failed policy. A leader must have COURAGE. I'm talking about balls. (That even goes for female leaders.) Swagger isn't courage. Tough talk isn't courage. George Bush comes from a blue-blooded Connecticut family, but he likes to talk like a cowboy. You know, My gun is bigger than your gun. Courage in the twenty-first century doesn't mean posturing and bravado. Courage is a commitment to sit down at the negotiating table and talk. If you're a politician, courage means taking a position even when you know it will cost you votes. Bush can't even make a public appearance unless the audience has been handpicked and sanitized. He did a series of so-called town hall meetings last year, in auditoriums packed with his most devoted fans. The questions were all softballs. To be a leader you've got to have CONVICTION, fire in your belly. You've got to have passion. You've got to really want to get omething done. How do you measure fire in the belly? Bush has set the all-time record for number of vacation days taken by a U.S. President, four hundred and counting. He'd rather clear brush on his ranch than immerse himself in the business of governing. He even told an interviewer that the high point of his presidency so far was catching a seven-and-a-half-pound perch in his hand-stocked lake. It's no better on Capitol Hill. Congress was in session only ninety-seven days in 2006. That's eleven days less than the record set in 1948, when President Harry Truman coined the term do-nothing Congress. Most people would expect to be fired if they worked so little and had nothing to show for it. But Congress managed to find the time to vote itself a raise. Now, that's not leadership. A leader should have CHARISMA. I'm not talking about being flashy. Charisma is the quality that makes people want to follow you. It's the ability to inspire. People follow a leader because they trust him. That's my definition of charisma. Maybe George Bush is a great guy to hang out with at a barbecue or a ball game. But put him at a global summit where the future of our planet is at stake, and he doesn't look very presidential. Those frat-boy pranks and the kidding around he enjoys so much don't go over that well with world leaders. Just ask German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who received an unwelcome shoulder massage from our President at a G-8 Summit. When he came up behind her and started squeezing, I thought she was going to go right through the roof. A leader has to be COMPETENT. That seems obvious, doesn't it? You've got to know what you're doing. More important than that, you've got to surround yourself with people who know what they're doing. Bush brags about being our first MBA President. Does that make him competent? Well, let's see. Thanks to our first MBA President, we've got the largest deficit in history, Social Security is on life support, and we've run up a half-a-trillion-dollar price tag (so far) in Iraq. And that's just for starters. A leader has to be a problem solver, and the biggest problems we face as a nation seem to be on the back burner. You can't be a leader if you don't have COMMON SENSE. I call this Charlie Beacham's rule. When I was a young guy just starting out in the car business, one of my first jobs was as Ford's zone manager in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. My boss was a guy named Charlie Beacham, who was the East Coast regional manager. Charlie was a big Southerner, with a warm drawl, a huge smile, and a core of steel. Charlie used to tell me, "Remember, Lee, the only thing you've got going for you as a human being is your ability to reason and your common sense. If you don't know a dip of horseshit from a dip of vanilla ice cream, you'll never make it." George Bush doesn't have common sense. He just has a lot of sound bites. You know, Mr.they'll-welcome-us-as-liber... e-mission-accomplished Bush. Former President Bill Clinton once said, "I grew up in an alcoholic home. I spent half my childhood trying to get into the reality-based world and I like it here." I think our current President should visit the real world once in a while. The Biggest C is Crisis Leaders are made, not born. Leadership is forged in times of crisis. It's easy to sit there with your feet up on the desk and talk theory. Or send someone else's kids off to war when you've never seen a battlefield yourself. It's another thing to lead when your world comes tumbling down. On September 11, 2001, we needed a strong leader more than any other time in our history. We needed a steady hand to guide us out of the ashes. Where was George Bush? He was reading a story about a pet goat to kids in Florida when he heard about the attacks. He kept sitting there for twenty minutes with a baffled look on his face. It's all on tape. You can see it for yourself. Then, instead of taking the quickest route back to Washington and immediately going on the air to reassure the panicked people of this country, he decided it wasn't safe to return to the White House. He basically went into hiding for the day and he told Vice President Dick Cheney to stay put in his bunker. We were all frozen in front of our TVs, scared out of our wits, waiting for our leaders to tell us that we were going to be okay, and there was nobody home. It took Bush a couple of days to get his bearings and devise the right photo op at Ground Zero. That was George Bush's moment of truth, and he was paralyzed. And what did he do when he'd regained his composure? He led us down the road to Iraq, a road his own father had considered disastrous when he was President. But Bush didn't listen to Daddy. He listened to a higher father. He prides himself on being faith based, not reality based. If that doesn't scare the crap out of you, I don't know what will. A Hell of a Mess So here's where we stand. We're immersed in a bloody war with no plan for winning and no plan for leaving. We're running the biggest deficit in the history of the country. We're losing the manufacturing edge to Asia, while our once-great companies are getting slaughtered by health care costs. Gas prices are skyrocketing, and nobody in power has a coherent energy policy. Our schools are in trouble. Our borders are like sieves. The middle class is being squeezed every which way. These are times that cry out for leadership. But when you look around, you've got to ask: "Where have all the leaders gone?" Where are the curious, creative communicators? Where are the people of character, courage, conviction, competence, and common sense? I may be a sucker for alliteration, but I think you get the point. Name me a leader who has a better idea for homeland security than making us take off our shoes in airports and throw away our shampoo? We've spent billions of dollars building a huge new bureaucracy, and all we know how to do is react to things that have already happened. Name me one leader who emerged from the crisis of Hurricane Katrina. Congress has yet to spend a single day evaluating the response to the hurricane, or demanding accountability for the decisions that were made in the crucial hours after the storm. Everyone's hunkering down, fingers crossed, hoping it doesn't happen again. Now, that's just crazy. Storms happen. Deal with it. Make a plan. Figure out what you're going to do the next time. Name me an industry leader who is thinking creatively about how we can restore our competitive edge in manufacturing. Who would have believed that there could ever be a time when "the Big Three" referred to Japanese car companies? How did this happen, and more important, what are we going to do about it? Name me a government leader who can articulate a plan for paying down the debt, or solving the energy crisis, or managing the health care problem. The silence is deafening. But these are the crises that are eating away at our country and milking the middle class dry. I have news for the gang in Congress. We didn't elect you to sit on your asses and do nothing and remain silent while our democracy is being hijacked and our greatness is being replaced with mediocrity. What is everybody so afraid of? That some bobblehead on Fox News will call them a name? Give me a break. Why don't you guys show some spine for a change? Had Enough? Hey, I'm not trying to be the voice of gloom and doom here. I'm trying to light a fire. I'm speaking out because I have hope. I believe in America. In my lifetime I've had the privilege of living through some of America's greatest moments. I've also experienced some of our worst crises, the Great Depression, World War II, the Korean War, the Kennedy assassination, the Vietnam War, the 1970s oil crisis, and the struggles of recent years culminating with 9/11. If I've learned one thing, it's this: You don't get anywhere by standing on the sidelines waiting for somebody else to take action. Whether it's building a better car or building a better future for our children, we all have a role to play. That's the challenge I'm raising in this book. It's a call to action for people who, like me, believe in America. It's not too late, but it's getting pretty close. So let's shake off the horseshit and go to work. Let's tell 'em all we've had enough. Excerpted from Where Have All the Leaders Gone?. Copyright © 2007 by Lee Iacocca. All rights reserved.
Lee Iacocca has a very strong argument about Iraq, Bush, etc. It's an easy read. Agree/Disagree/Comment?::
I agree with almost everything he wrote, except for the part about voting. We the people did not vote for Bush. The Supreme Court did. He lost the popular vote, the electoral vote was in question.
I am amazed everyday by the number of people who are not horrified by this administration and who are willing to sit by quietly while our civil liberties are ripped from us one by one.
Instead of joining together to have these crooks removed from office, we allow them to seperate us further by distracting us with lesser arguments about trivial issues, such as gay marriage, flag burning, etc... WAKE UP PEOPLE.
Do you not realize that these are diversions.
We are involved in a war we cannot win. We don't even know who we are fighting. Iraq was not a "terrorist harboring nation". Insurgents and terrorists are not unilateral. There is a huge difference. If you aren't aware of this then you need to educate yourselves. Fast.
I believe Lee is correct. We need a call to action now. 2009 is a long ways away.
Reply:On May 9, Bush did write a plan for response for emergency situations: dictatorship. The executive order that day states that he will get to decide what is a national emergency, which puts him in totalitarian rule, and when the emergency is over. Something will happen before Nov 2008. Report It

Reply:WOOOOOHOOOOOOOO Go Lee!!!
Reply:This is fantastic! Its the old people that aren't afraid to speak out that have some really good points. There was an old congressman that was one of the very very few that spoke out against Bush and the war in IRAQ back in the early days after 9/11 - Or maybe he was a senator - "Bird" was his last name I think. He said some really good things, but nobody listened.
And I think Lee here is making some really really good points!! Americans are outsourcing everything oversees. America is becoming more and more dependent on other countries with all this outsourcing - its very difficult to find something to buy made in North America. You can't be patriotic even if you want to be.
I can see consumers wanting to save money, and why should I care where something is made? But the business leaders and the political leaders should know better. America became great by being able to make things, and know America is letting everyone else make things for them.
Try and find something made in America. And if you do, buy it! Support your local jobs and economy and business.
Shop at places that do support local jobs and economy and business. It might be nice to buy a product that has a really low price, but the cost has to be paid somewhere - if you don't pay the cost, who is? Someone will be getting paid as little as possible. And the product is made overseas.
Make decisions that will create the country YOU want to live in, and that will treat you and your neighbours right. Vote for someone who thinks about these things. And vote with your dollars and don't just buy the cheapest priced goods. Because the cost will have to be paid somewhere.
Reply:I assume he's talking about the dems today too,because we all know the old school dems are gone.
Reply:I just can't figure out why he backed Dick DeVos, if he is against outsourcing...
Reply:He never built a car that would do 100 mpg or one that didn't use gas entirely, which would have made him a national hero, but I would take all his wonderful terse remarks, double them, and only add... Down with Dictator Dumbya!!!
Reply:Lee is right..... he has gone off his rocker.
Reply:Bravo and bless him. As another great American recently said, "We wish we could pass on the torch, but there is still too much for our generation to do."
Reply:I've always like his moves. The K car was ok.
Here however, he implies that he knows, but rather just says we should leave.
OK then what? Where's that part of the analysis?
We all love our country. He runs a corporation well.
I use his margarine.
His view is of a matrix/pyramid, not applicable to world affairs.
Reply:bullseye
Reply:That is Lee's opinion and he chose to speak it. It doesn't mean I have to agree with it. He might have a few points but I fell asleep reading his rant. If he wants a job, maybe he should go back to the car business.
Reply:Lee was the biggest recipients of corporate welfare in the history of corporate America. I think he has gone off his rocker.
Reply:Its a long rant with lots of holes if you went hunting for evidence to support many of his assertions.
Reply:DISAGREE. WHAT THE HELL DOES HE KNOW ABOUT RUNNING A COUNTRY. THIS IS NOT A CAR COMPANY. HE SHOULD STICK TO BUSINESS AND LEAVE THE POLITICS TO POLITICIANS. THOUGH HE DOES HAVE SOME VALID POINTS.

That's not the promise of America my parents and yours Traveled across the ocean for. I've had enough. How About you? I'll go a step further. You can't call yourself a Patriot if you're not outraged. This is a fight I'm Ready and willing to have. My friends tell me to calm down. They say, "Lee, You're eighty-two years old. Leave the rage to the Young people." I'd love to speak to them as soon as I Can pry them away from their iPods for five seconds And get them to pay attention. I'm going to speak up Because it's my patriotic duty. I think people will Listen to me. They say I have a reputation as a Straight shooter. So I'll tell you how I see it, and it's not pretty, but at least it's real. I'm hoping to Strike a nerve in those young folks who say they don't Vote because they don't trust politicians to represent Their interests. Hey, America, wake up. These guys Work for us. Who Are These Guys, Anyway? Why are we in this mess? How did we end up with this Crowd in Washington? Well, we voted for them, or at Least some of us did. But I'll tell you what we didn't Do. We didn't agree to suspend the Constitution. We Didn't agree to stop asking questions or demanding Answers. Some of us are sick and tired of people who Call free speech treason. Where I come from that's a Dictatorship, not a democracy. And don't tell me it's all the fault of right-wing Republicans or liberal Democrats. That's an Intellectually lazy argument, and it's part of the Reason we're in this stew. We're not just a nation of Factions. We're a people. We share common principles And ideals. And we rise and fall together. Where are the voices of leaders who can inspire us to Action and make us stand taller? What happened to the Strong and resolute party of Lincoln? What happened to The courageous, populist party of FDR and Truman? There was a time in this country when the voices of Great leaders lifted us up and made us want to do Better. Where have all the leaders gone? The Test of a Leader I've never been Commander in Chief, but I've been a CEO. I understand a few things about leadership at the Top. I've figured out nine points, not ten (I don't Want people accusing me of thinking I'm Moses). I call Them the "Nine Cs of Leadership." They're not fancy or Complicated. Just clear, obvious qualities that every True leader should have. We should look at how the Current administration stacks up. Like it or not, this Crew is going to be around until January 2009. Maybe We can learn something before we go to the polls in 2008. Then let's be sure we use the leadership test to Screen the candidates who say they want to run the Country. It's up to us to choose wisely. So, here's my C list: A leader has to show CURIOSITY. He has to listen to People outside of the "Yes, sir" crowd in his inner Circle. He has to read voraciously, because the world Is a big, complicated place. George W. Bush brags About never reading a newspaper. "I just scan the Headlines," he says. Am I hearing this right? He's the President of the United States and he never reads a Newspaper? Thomas Jefferson once said, "Were it left To me to decide whether we should have a government Without newspapers, or newspapers without a Government, I should not hesitate for a moment to Prefer the latter." Bush disagrees. As long as he gets His daily hour in the gym, with Fox News piped through The sound system, he's ready to go. If a leader never steps outside his comfort zone to Hear different ideas, he grows stale. If he doesn't put his beliefs to the test, how does he know he's right? The inability to listen is a form of arrogance. It means either you think you already know it all, or you just don't care. Before the 2006 election, George Bush made a big point of saying he didn't listen to the polls. Yeah, that's what they all say when the polls stink. But maybe he should have listened, because 70 percent of the people were saying he was on the wrong track. It took a "thumping" on election day to wake him up, but even then you got the feeling he wasn't listening so much as he was calculating how to do a better job of convincing everyone he was right. A leader has to be CREATIVE, go out on a limb, be willing to try something different. You know, think outside the box. George Bush prides himself on never changing, even as the world around him is spinning out of control. God forbid someone should accuse him of flip-flopping. There's a disturbingly messianic fervor to his certainty. Senator Joe Biden recalled a conversation he had with Bush a few months after our troops marched into Baghdad. Joe was in the Oval Office outlining his concerns to the President the explosive mix of Shiite and Sunni, the disbanded Iraqi army, the problems securing the oil fields. "The President was serene," Joe recalled. "He told me he was sure that we were on the right course and that all would be well. 'Mr. President,' I finally said, 'how can you be so sure when you don't yet know all the facts?'" Bush then reached over and put a steadying hand on Joe's shoulder. "My instincts," he said. "My instincts." Joe was flabbergasted. He told Bush, "Mr. President, your instincts aren't good enough." Joe Biden sure didn't think the matter was settled. And, as we all know now, it wasn't. Leadership is all about managing change whether you're leading a company or leading a country. Things change, and you get creative. You adapt. Maybe Bush was absent the day they covered that at Harvard Business School. A leader has to COMMUNICATE. I'm not talking about running off at the mouth or spouting sound bites. I'm talking about facing reality and telling the truth. Nobody in the current administration seems to know how to talk straight anymore. Instead, they spend most of their time trying to convince us that things are not really as bad as they seem. I don't know if it's denial or dishonesty, but it can start to drive you crazy after a while. Communication has to start with telling the truth, even when it's painful. The war in Iraq has been, among other things, a grand failure of communication. Bush is like the boy who didn't cry wolf when the wolf was at the door. After years of being told that all is well, even as the casualties and chaos mount, we've stopped listening to him. A leader has to be a person of CHARACTER. That means knowing the difference between right and wrong and having the guts to do the right thing. Abraham Lincoln once said, "If you want to test a man's character, give him power." George Bush has a lot of power. What does it say about his character? Bush has shown a willingness to take bold action on the world stage because he has the power, but he shows little regard for the grievous consequences. He has sent our troops (not to mention hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi citizens) to their deaths, for what? To build our oil reserves? To avenge his daddy because Saddam Hussein once tried to have him killed? To show his daddy he's tougher? The motivations behind the war in Iraq are questionable, and the execution of the war has been a disaster. A man of character does not ask a single soldier to die for a failed policy. A leader must have COURAGE. I'm talking about balls. (That even goes for female leaders.) Swagger isn't courage. Tough talk isn't courage. George Bush comes from a blue-blooded Connecticut family, but he likes to talk like a cowboy. You know, My gun is bigger than your gun. Courage in the twenty-first century doesn't mean posturing and bravado. Courage is a commitment to sit down at the negotiating table and talk. If you're a politician, courage means taking a position even when you know it will cost you votes. Bush can't even make a public appearance unless the audience has been handpicked and sanitized. He did a series of so-called town hall meetings last year, in auditoriums packed with his most devoted fans. The questions were all softballs. To be a leader you've got to have CONVICTION, fire in your belly. You've got to have passion. You've got to really want to get omething done. How do you measure fire in the belly? Bush has set the all-time record for number of vacation days taken by a U.S. President, four hundred and counting. He'd rather clear brush on his ranch than immerse himself in the business of governing. He even told an interviewer that the high point of his presidency so far was catching a seven-and-a-half-pound perch in his hand-stocked lake. It's no better on Capitol Hill. Congress was in session only ninety-seven days in 2006. That's eleven days less than the record set in 1948, when President Harry Truman coined the term do-nothing Congress. Most people would expect to be fired if they worked so little and had nothing to show for it. But Congress managed to find the time to vote itself a raise. Now, that's not leadership. A leader should have CHARISMA. I'm not talking about being flashy. Charisma is the quality that makes people want to follow you. It's the ability to inspire. People follow a leader because they trust him. That's my definition of charisma. Maybe George Bush is a great guy to hang out with at a barbecue or a ball game. But put him at a global summit where the future of our planet is at stake, and he doesn't look very presidential. Those frat-boy pranks and the kidding around he enjoys so much don't go over that well with world leaders. Just ask German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who received an unwelcome shoulder massage from our President at a G-8 Summit. When he came up behind her and started squeezing, I thought she was going to go right through the roof. A leader has to be COMPETENT. That seems obvious, doesn't it? You've got to know what you're doing. More important than that, you've got to surround yourself with people who know what they're doing. Bush brags about being our first MBA President. Does that make him competent? Well, let's see. Thanks to our first MBA President, we've got the largest deficit in history, Social Security is on life support, and we've run up a half-a-trillion-dollar price tag (so far) in Iraq. And that's just for starters. A leader has to be a problem solver, and the biggest problems we face as a nation seem to be on the back burner. You can't be a leader if you don't have COMMON SENSE. I call this Charlie Beacham's rule. When I was a young guy just starting out in the car business, one of my first jobs was as Ford's zone manager in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. My boss was a guy named Charlie Beacham, who was the East Coast regional manager. Charlie was a big Southerner, with a warm drawl, a huge smile, and a core of steel. Charlie used to tell me, "Remember, Lee, the only thing you've got going for you as a human being is your ability to reason and your common sense. If you don't know a dip of horseshit from a dip of vanilla ice cream, you'll never make it." George Bush doesn't have common sense. He just has a lot of sound bites. You know, Mr.they'll-welcome-us-as-liber... e-mission-accomplished Bush. Former President Bill Clinton once said, "I grew up in an alcoholic home. I spent half my childhood trying to get into the reality-based world and I like it here." I think our current President should visit the real world once in a while. The Biggest C is Crisis Leaders are made, not born. Leadership is forged in times of crisis. It's easy to sit there with your feet up on the desk and talk theory. Or send someone else's kids off to war when you've never seen a battlefield yourself. It's another thing to lead when your world comes tumbling down. On September 11, 2001, we needed a strong leader more than any other time in our history. We needed a steady hand to guide us out of the ashes. Where was George Bush? He was reading a story about a pet goat to kids in Florida when he heard about the attacks. He kept sitting there for twenty minutes with a baffled look on his face. It's all on tape. You can see it for yourself. Then, instead of taking the quickest route back to Washington and immediately going on the air to reassure the panicked people of this country, he decided it wasn't safe to return to the White House. He basically went into hiding for the day and he told Vice President Dick Cheney to stay put in his bunker. We were all frozen in front of our TVs, scared out of our wits, waiting for our leaders to tell us that we were going to be okay, and there was nobody home. It took Bush a couple of days to get his bearings and devise the right photo op at Ground Zero. That was George Bush's moment of truth, and he was paralyzed. And what did he do when he'd regained his composure? He led us down the road to Iraq, a road his own father had considered disastrous when he was President. But Bush didn't listen to Daddy. He listened to a higher father. He prides himself on being faith based, not reality based. If that doesn't scare the crap out of you, I don't know what will. A Hell of a Mess So here's where we stand. We're immersed in a bloody war with no plan for winning and no plan for leaving. We're running the biggest deficit in the history of the country. We're losing the manufacturing edge to Asia, while our once-great companies are getting slaughtered by health care costs. Gas prices are skyrocketing, and nobody in power has a coherent energy policy. Our schools are in trouble. Our borders are like sieves. The middle class is being squeezed every which way. These are times that cry out for leadership. But when you look around, you've got to ask: "Where have all the leaders gone?" Where are the curious, creative communicators? Where are the people of character, courage, conviction, competence, and common sense? I may be a sucker for alliteration, but I think you get the point. Name me a leader who has a better idea for homeland security than making us take off our shoes in airports and throw away our shampoo? We've spent billions of dollars building a huge new bureaucracy, and all we know how to do is react to things that have already happened. Name me one leader who emerged from the crisis of Hurricane Katrina. Congress has yet to spend a single day evaluating the response to the hurricane, or demanding accountability for the decisions that were made in the crucial hours after the storm. Everyone's hunkering down, fingers crossed, hoping it doesn't happen again. Now, that's just crazy. Storms happen. Deal with it. Make a plan. Figure out what you're going to do the next time. Name me an industry leader who is thinking creatively about how we can restore our competitive edge in manufacturing. Who would have believed that there could ever be a time when "the Big Three" referred to Japanese car companies? How did this happen, and more important, what are we going to do about it? Name me a government leader who can articulate a plan for paying down the debt, or solving the energy crisis, or managing the health care problem. The silence is deafening. But these are the crises that are eating away at our country and milking the middle class dry. I have news for the gang in Congress. We didn't elect you to sit on your asses and do nothing and remain silent while our democracy is being hijacked and our greatness is being replaced with mediocrity. What is everybody so afraid of? That some bobblehead on Fox News will call them a name? Give me a break. Why don't you guys show some spine for a change? Had Enough? Hey, I'm not trying to be the voice of gloom and doom here. I'm trying to light a fire. I'm speaking out because I have hope. I believe in America. In my lifetime I've had the privilege of living through some of America's greatest moments. I've also experienced some of our worst crises, the Great Depression, World War II, the Korean War, the Kennedy assassination, the Vietnam War, the 1970s oil crisis, and the struggles of recent years culminating with 9/11. If I've learned one thing, it's this: You don't get anywhere by standing on the sidelines waiting for somebody else to take action. Whether it's building a better car or building a better future for our children, we all have a role to play. That's the challenge I'm raising in this book. It's a call to action for people who, like me, believe in America. It's not too late, but it's getting pretty close. So let's shake off the horseshit and go to work. Let's tell 'em all we've had enough. Excerpted from Where Have All the Leaders Gone?. Copyright © 2007 by Lee Iacocca. All rights reserved.
Lee Iacocca has a very strong argument about Iraq, Bush, etc. It's an easy read. Agree/Disagree/Comment?::
I agree with almost everything he wrote, except for the part about voting. We the people did not vote for Bush. The Supreme Court did. He lost the popular vote, the electoral vote was in question.
I am amazed everyday by the number of people who are not horrified by this administration and who are willing to sit by quietly while our civil liberties are ripped from us one by one.
Instead of joining together to have these crooks removed from office, we allow them to seperate us further by distracting us with lesser arguments about trivial issues, such as gay marriage, flag burning, etc... WAKE UP PEOPLE.
Do you not realize that these are diversions.
We are involved in a war we cannot win. We don't even know who we are fighting. Iraq was not a "terrorist harboring nation". Insurgents and terrorists are not unilateral. There is a huge difference. If you aren't aware of this then you need to educate yourselves. Fast.
I believe Lee is correct. We need a call to action now. 2009 is a long ways away.
Reply:On May 9, Bush did write a plan for response for emergency situations: dictatorship. The executive order that day states that he will get to decide what is a national emergency, which puts him in totalitarian rule, and when the emergency is over.

Reply:This is fantastic! Its the old people that aren't afraid to speak out that have some really good points. There was an old congressman that was one of the very very few that spoke out against Bush and the war in IRAQ back in the early days after 9/11 - Or maybe he was a senator - "Bird" was his last name I think. He said some really good things, but nobody listened.
And I think Lee here is making some really really good points!! Americans are outsourcing everything oversees. America is becoming more and more dependent on other countries with all this outsourcing - its very difficult to find something to buy made in North America. You can't be patriotic even if you want to be.
I can see consumers wanting to save money, and why should I care where something is made? But the business leaders and the political leaders should know better. America became great by being able to make things, and know America is letting everyone else make things for them.
Try and find something made in America. And if you do, buy it! Support your local jobs and economy and business.
Shop at places that do support local jobs and economy and business. It might be nice to buy a product that has a really low price, but the cost has to be paid somewhere - if you don't pay the cost, who is? Someone will be getting paid as little as possible. And the product is made overseas.
Make decisions that will create the country YOU want to live in, and that will treat you and your neighbours right. Vote for someone who thinks about these things. And vote with your dollars and don't just buy the cheapest priced goods. Because the cost will have to be paid somewhere.

Reply:Lee was the biggest recipients of corporate welfare in the history of corporate America. I think he has gone off his rocker.
Reply:Its a long rant with lots of holes if you went hunting for evidence to support many of his assertions.

Should I go to the IRS directly or to hire a preparer (H&R or an EA) to do back taxes? Which will save $?
I have to catch up and do 4 years worth of taxes ('04-'08). I have been a waiter for most of that time, so I will owe $. But I probably won't have deductibles/write-offs that can be found by a hired tax preparer. I never saved receipts for work shirts/pants/shoes bought, or public transportation passes used partly to travel to and from work, or cab fares for the same purpose - maybe I should have. Would these have been write-offs? I have no experience in finding write-offs.
Single, no kids, apt renter, no businesses, property, house, car, or stocks/bond, etc owned, so I guess my tax forms are as straight forward as you can get.
So, should I save the $600 I'd spend going to H%26amp;R Block or an EA and apply it to my tax bill and have the IRS do it for free or should I hire a tax preparer?
Will a hired tax prepare be of any help in setting up a superior payment plan or will I be able to set up the same payment plan with the IRS directly?
Should I go to the IRS directly or to hire a preparer (H%26amp;R or an EA) to do back taxes? Which will save $?
Personal expenses (clothing, commuting) are not deductable.
So...if you have nothing to deduct and your income is less than $39K a year, you might as well let the IRS help you file those tax returns and save the fees.
As for setting up a payment plan. First you need to see what you owe. The IRS will expect you to either set up a plan to pay it over, say, 5 years *or* show why you can't pay that much.
Your biggest problem is that you have tip income. The allocated tips appear to be the reason you owe. Owing is what will make this so expensive. You've got to get a handle on that aspect of your job!
Reply:With your simple situation save your money by going to the IRS directly. A paid preparer would not get you a much better payment plan anyway.
Reply:It probably won't make much if any difference in your tax bill. And the items you mention aren't tax deductible anyway. You'll need good records of what you were paid and what your tips were if you didn't report them all to your employer like you were supposed to. If everything was on a W-2 you'll probably be OK and mightr not even owe anything.
Good luck.

It's not true that all girls like shopping... a lot of us do, but I hate it -even clothes shopping, I'll put it off as long as I can, then run to the store at a quiet time and buy what I really need. And I'm not the only one, often women don't like to say it because they don't want to be seen as odd or weird, but I'm not easily embarrassed by such things and I have mentioned I disliked it when shopping came up in conversation... over the years, I've heard from quite a few women (still a minority, but far more than I had first expected) things like 'so I'm not the only one who feels that way!' or 'whew, finally someone who understands!'.
I sort of like to shop at book stores, fair trade centers (ethnic products, gifts), art/craft shops, %26amp; sometimes at the charity store, but I only go to those a few times a year too, and when I actually need something... that's enough for me!

It makes you feel better to buy something, especially if you get a good deal. It also makes you feel better about your wardrobe. I hate when everyone knows all of the clothes that I have and I've got nothing new. When I have a couple new items, it energizes my wardrobe or shoe collection or accessories.. It's like having a collection. And you can't just buy cheap things, or it's not a very good collection. It's best to have your favorite brands and lots of different styles to fit your mood.

Reply:a girl can shop as little more as much as she pleases. I don't think she should not pay her bills just so she can buy new shoes... but except for that kind of extreme I don't see anything wrong with it. Some girls shop more than others.. personally I go through phases.
My husband doesn't quite get it either :)
Reply:Shopping is therapy.
Shopping makes a lot of girls happy and maybe we're just a bit materialistic.
Because I like having a lot of clothes and shoes and the ones that I do like cost a lot.
I also get bored with my clothes pretty frequently so I have to go buy something new to shake up my wardrobe.
Also, fashion changes pretty frequently so some girls feel like they have to shop constantly to keep up with the latest trend.

Reply:its not necessay at all, I am a girl and I really hate shopping. I only go when I need some new clothes.
Reply:I think it's like therapy.. I don't really go shopping often when I'm at college because I don't have the means. But when I'm home, I like to go shopping often. It's like therapy.. It makes you feel better to buy something, especially if you get a good deal. It also makes you feel better about your wardrobe. I hate when everyone knows all of the clothes that I have and I've got nothing new. When I have a couple new items, it energizes my wardrobe or shoe collection or accessories.. It's like having a collection. And you can't just buy cheap things, or it's not a very good collection. It's best to have your favorite brands and lots of different styles to fit your mood.
Reply:yeah it is verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry important
Reply:a girl can shop as little more as much as she pleases. I don't think she should not pay her bills just so she can buy new shoes... but except for that kind of extreme I don't see anything wrong with it. Some girls shop more than others.. personally I go through phases.
My husband doesn't quite get it either :)
Reply:Shopping is therapy.
Shopping makes a lot of girls happy and maybe we're just a bit materialistic.
Because I like having a lot of clothes and shoes and the ones that I do like cost a lot.
I also get bored with my clothes pretty frequently so I have to go buy something new to shake up my wardrobe.
Also, fashion changes pretty frequently so some girls feel like they have to shop constantly to keep up with the latest trend.
Reply:I don't think they would be nerdy because some people can't afford to do that. I can admit I go shopping every friday with my friends but I think that's okay. It's just my opinion.
Reply:lol no its not a neccasary thing to do but we like it cuz it makes us feel like we can do anything ( or thats just me ) :D hope you understand us non-stoping shopping girlz!!
Reply:lol no. it's just something we do to hav fun! sorta like hanging out or well whatever u guys do. Idk, its not like rlly rlly important. and as much as i hate 2 think about it, in my school if u dont havthe most fashionable clothes for ur particular style u r sorta considered a dork.
Reply:"would a girl be stupid or "nerdy" if she doesnt shop once a month??"
i think this explains why you need someone to explain to you. please use some logic before you ask something like this.
Reply:well since i shop like once or twice a week like almost RELIGIOUSLY i would say that it is a necessity and i mean i am also doing a VERY good thing by shopping, if i shop i get new clothes and that means i can donate my old ones to GOOD WILL!

Vegans/Vegetarians: would you work around meat?
Where do you draw the line with your "interaction" with meat/animal products?
Would you work in say, a department store that sells a line of perfume tested on animals?
Would you work in a store that sells fur coats, leather purses and shoes, and perfumes and makeups?
What about working in a restaurant? Would you be a door-person or a greeter and never go to tables? Would you be a server? Dishwasher? Cook??
A "grocery supply" stocker - someone who stocks groceries (including milk, eggs, meats, etc) for delivery in boxes in big warehouses, preparing them for delivery to Wal Marts and AFFES's around the world?
Would you drive a truck to deliver meat? Would you unload it from the trucks?
Could you ring people's food up at a grocery store? Including raw meats, cosmetics etc?
What job would you ideally have as a vegetarian/vegan?
I've never flipped burgers but I've been close to them. I can't handle it myself, but have had to work in industries that handle it.
Vegans/Vegetarians: would you work around meat?
What a luxury it must be to be able to pick and choose where you work. Most people don't have this luxury.
I am a vegan but there have been times in the past few years when I would willingly have taken a job at McDonalds.
I reckon people saying 'oh no, I never could' must have very secure jobs or - more likely - are still being supported by their parents or someone else whose financial support they can fall back on.
Mr Meat describes it as a compromise of commitment 'just to make money'. Yes, money that you need 'just' to pay the rent and the bills.
Losing my livelihood (I was self-employed) because of a life-threatening illness and long term treatment, and having trouble finding regular employment since has perhaps made me less picky about where I would work than some people are apparently fortunate enough to be. But not, I think, less principled or committed. .
Reply:I'll answer these one by one :)
Department store: Yes, I would work there. You said "a" line of perfumes -- not too bad to only have one
Fur Coats/Leather Purses/Cosmetics: NO! Fur and leather gross me out
Restaurant: Hostess, yes. Server, dishwasher, busser, cook, no.
Grocery store: No to being a stocker as you describe
Meat Truck Driver: No.
Grocery store cashier: No.
Flipping burgers: NO!
It might be fun to work with other vegetarians and vegans at a natural foods, veg*n store or veg*n restaurant.
Reply:My answer may sounds sort of hypocticical but I'll give it a shot.
I would never work in a deli of a short, chopping up meat and such. However I would work in a restruant as long as I did not prepare the meat. I would greet people at the door and serve them there meal.
It is very hard to find a place that does not at all sell products tested on animals. I wouldnt like it but would work at a store that had some tested on animal products if I really had to. Since probably 99% of stuff is.
No I would not be a truck drive that delivers meat. Anything where I have to come that close in contact I would not. Delivering it with a truck would also involve working for some kind of butcher of sorts wich I am completly against and would some how ending up seeing things I don't need to. Therefor I would not work in that sort of enviroment.
I would work as a cashier selling the product, but deep down it would be bothering me. It would be somthing I had to just try to ignore since I would need the money to live.
Reply:I suppose if one is true to their commitments and to avoid the hypocritcal and sanctimonious labels, one has to go all the way and sacrifice a bit.
Certainly, supporting an industry that one abhors .... i.e. contributing to the feeding, slaughtering and sale of meat and factory farming . . . indicates a "commitment of convenience" and a relativity of values just to obtain money is really no commitment at all.
There is a sacrificial quality to ethical commitments not to be satisfied by secondary or puny efforts to be faithful to those commitments.
In the case of being gung-ho for the ethical treatment of animals, not buying leather is of non-consequential importance if one is selling feed to people for the fattening and slaughtering of animals.
It's like being against the death penalty but supplying last meals for those who are to be executed.
Reply:When I first became veg at 16, I worked in a deli as a cashier. Now that would probably be too close for comfort. If I was to work in food service again (not that I intend to) it would have to be in a veg restaurant. I also wouldn't work in any capacity that directly supported factory farming (like driving the truck that delivered meat.) Something like a department store or grocery store checker would be tolerable. I can handle the fact that the whole world hasn't gone veg (yet!)
My own job in the mortgage industry is pretty veg-neutral. No meaty issues to tackle on a daily basis. It's deadly boring and we go through a LOT of paper so it's not the greenest line of work I could be in, but your examples have me thinking it's a pretty good place to be.
Reply:You cannot completely disconnect your self from the meat indfustry,its built into society.
For example, should you post question on this site which gets revenue from traffic by selling adverts to meat companies ( like Sainsbury's in the UK ) ?
Should you shop in any supermarket that sells meat as you are giving them profit ?
You have to do your best, thats all you can do.
Examples of things that would be out for me:
working directly with meat
owning a mixed food resturant
shares in a slaughter house
buying stuff from MCDonalds etc
buying leather
buy meat products for other people
selling animals for slaughter
....but i do produce hay, straw, beets etc as by-products of my cereals and pasture. So what do i do with them ?? Just burn them, or put them up for sale ?? Would it really be right to burn 3,000 bales of hay just so beef farmers can't buy it ?
I agree with Mr Meat, who incidently has copied my profile - I'm quite flattered, my attempt at vegetarinism is of non-consequential importance. In fact, why don't i just close down the farm and re-open as a beef farm. Picking at people who are at least making some effort is the easiest thing to do, there is always something more we can do. I could point out how much I actually do, how much money i actually loose on giving up land to animals, or the lengths i go to to bale up as "8" bales that are more suitable to horse owners and small holders who have house cows and sheep. but what would be the point ? this forum is full of perfect meat-eaters just waiting to knock you down. Criticism of others is a great distraction technique to stop you looking at your own morals.
Actually...being against the death penalty and providing the condemed person with thier last meal might actually be considered a good thing to do. You would not be supporting his death, would you ? You would be showing him respect by making his life as confortable as you could within your power.
Reply:I'm vegiatarian and I work in a cafe. As long as I have my gloves on while making sandwichs, its okay. I don't think I'd like to be the one cutting the meat though.
Reply:There is almost no job you can have that doesn't, if you follow the money, contribute profit to the meat and/or dairy industries.
I am a vegan and I worked for a corporate coffee shop which used an incredible amount of milk every day. I didn't like that fact, but I had no real crisis of conscience working there. I was broke and it was a job. As many have said, I would not be a butcher or have similar contact with meat, but only because I find it personally disgusting, not because I feel it goes against my vegan ideals.
I am currently working as a paralegal, so I'm safe, but if I had to work with milk again, I would.
Reply:too early to read all that but no i wouldn't!
Reply:i dont think i oul be able to, it makes me feel slightly ill when i see my family eating it. i would never work for people like mcdonalds or KFC no-metter what the job was
Reply:I'm a vegetarian and I work at taco bell. I feel that it's okay because it's my personal choice to not eat meat and that all I'm doing is preparing it for others...
Reply:You've got to pay the bills. That said, I wouldn't take such a job unless I was unable to find anything else. I would quit as soon as I did find a good alternative.

Girl Problem...?
Ok, I've never been good at telling if a girl likes me. This girl works with me at a shoe store. Yesterday for instance she was suppose to be working the floor (I was working stock), she would go into the back and start talking to me. She has also told me numerous times that I'm funny. I also had a bad date last week, and the first thing she did when she saw me was ask how the date went (She didn't know the person who I went on a date with). We've known each other for a couple of months. We also do little flirts while working. Does she like me?
Girl Problem...?

Reply:it's possible she likes you or is bored or is just trying to be a good friend with this situation i wouldn't be able to say if she liked you or not either but if she's dropping little hints trying to say she likes you than she likes you so it could go either way watch for hints and if none or dropped then ask her out for a date if you like her and see wht happens after that a romance book or movie will probably tell you what she's thinking dunno if i've helped good luck

A wealthy man is choosing a wife. He picks out 3 women and gives them £10,000 each. The first woman goes on a spending spree and spends it all on shoes, clothes and jewellry. The second woman gives it all to charity. The third woman invests it in stocks and shares. Which one did he choose to marry? Answer - The one with the biggest ti*ts!

A man woke up every morning and passed gas. After about eight or nine years of marriage, his wife finally said, if you fart any more, you'll fart your guts out. Being a butcher, the wife decided to put pig scraps in his pants so he would wake up, and not do it anymore. She put the scraps in his pants that night.
He woke up in the morning and went across the hall to the bathroom. Two long hours later, he came out and stated, honey, you were right about me farting my guts out BUT WITH THE GRACE OF THE DEAR LORD AND THESE TWO FINGERS. I GOT THEM BACK IN THERE.

My uncles girfriend was playing footsies with me at dinner?
Me and my brother met my uncles girlfriend for the first time last week so we went to his house for dinner.Shes a good looking Asian woman with hot legs.We were eating dinner and I started feeling rubbing on my shoes.I thought it was the cat but I looked down and it was Lina's stocking foot.I was in shock she looked at me like she wanted me.Her foot then went up the inside of my leg and my uncle or my brother had no idea what was going on.I am am black and have this effct on Asian women that drives them wild but I didnt want it to be my only uncles girlfriend.The problem is she insists that we come over for Christmas dinner but I have the feeling she is going to play footsie with me again because I think she wants me.What do I do?Who do I tell?

wow. um, i dont think your uncle really deserves that kind of girlfriend. if she does it to you, tell her openly to stop and possibly your uncle will believe you when you tell him what she's really doing. or, tell your uncle ahead of time to watch for her doing that. then if she does it, she wont know your uncle knows and your uncle will hopefully break up with her.
Reply:Tell her to stop in public... I have a feeling tht if u tell her privately she may turn ur uncle against u so... better do it infront of ur uncle so he may know... wat she really is...
Reply:You have to tell this woman you are not interested in her. The longer you don't confront her the worse it will get. I wouldn't tell your uncle, though, unless it persist. I certainly am interested in knowing what sort of effect you have over Asian women that would drive them wild.
Reply:go.. but wear fishing hip boots.
Reply:Talk to her privately %26amp; tell her how you feel. If she doesn't stop then tell your uncle.
Reply:If this is real: TELL YOUR UNCLE!
If it's not: Shame on you!

Gift ideas for our first anniversary??
My boyfriend and I will have been together a year next month. We made reservations for our anniversary, but we've decided to buy each other gifts. Not anything really expensive, because his birthday and Christmas are also this month.
He's 25, and he's not really one for all of the mushy stuff. I've already bought him a nice pair of jeans and two t-shirts for his birthday, and I bought him a new pair of shoes, a few DVD's, and an aftershave/shaving lotion/body wash set, along with a stocking, for Christmas.
Now I'm stuck with what to get him for our anniversary? I'd like to give him something he'll really appreciate without costing me an arm and a leg. Any ideas??
Gift ideas for our first anniversary??
maybe a watch? or a new wallet? or if he doesnt have an mp3/zune/ipod try that!
Reply:o to those things in the mall where u take a picture and put it on somethiing like a mug blanket or whatever they have then get him some other small stuff.like a hat ...money holder with date u met? put it wrapped seperates in a bag looks like u got him alot bc its a whole bunch of small stuff
Reply:what about a ringg?
Reply:Get him a wedding band, a simple gold wedding band. If you want to splurge, contact Bulgari in New York City. Bulgari will have a perfect European wedding band made for him in Rome, Italy, at a reasonable price, under $1,000. You can do this in under 2 weeks. Then, propose to him on your anniversary. Or perhaps you are not that serious. My wife and I were married on the 1st anniversary of meeting, and yes she proposed to me.
Reply:i find the best gift to a person you love is something that takes time to prepare, that you prepare yourself, not that you buy.. does not have to be expansive.. I personally feel bad if my fiance offers me an expansive gift..
I offered my fiance our first Xmas A CD where I put all our pictures.. for her birthday a cake with all her baby picture that I managed to have from her sister... our 1st anniversary, I put all our picture with a nice music on movie maker program, she was amazed...... and of course I did offer some other regular gifts, but she is always more surprised from cards that I write myself, or that I shop for long time to find that have a significant meaning related to what I feel for her.. the worse is to run buy an expansive gift that is just to be expensive (unless the partner is materialistic).. (and I wrote expensive with an "e" and with an "a" and yahoo spelling did not fix one or the other... Which one is correct????
Reply:nice cologne
Reply:Aw how cute! That is so fun %26amp; exciting. Ah, new love! I think that you could get him anything and the night will still turn out great. A watch, an Xbox 360 (no man can resist), or maybe just something for yourself that he would enjoy (aka some fancy lingerie).
Have fun!

Reply:For my first anniversary with my boyfriend (now my husband) I had saved several tokens from places we had been and things we had done over that first year. Then, I made it into a little book for him. For instance, we had a favorite Japanese restaurant we liked, so one page had their business card and a few sushi stickers or something like that. One page had cutouts from a brochure of a ski resort we went to. My favorite page was just many snowflake stickers and I wrote across the bottom of the page, "When we danced in the snow..." because during the first snowstorm we had that year he stopped the car in a deserted parking lot, without saying anything, and led me out to dance in the snow. Very romantic.

Reply:do you know how to crosstitch or knit? i think these are always the best gifts. it has a personal touch, and what more could he ask for when you obviously dedicated your time and effort just so you can offer him a beautiful %26amp; personalized gift. don't settle for material gifts that he can buy himself. it's the thought and the meaning that counts.
Reply:Some good cologne, that way you can always smell it on him so it benefits you too ;) Also some sneakers or a nice work suit...maybe some jeans? Shirts? football tickets? lol depends what he's into.
Reply:One year, eh? I think I got a dog for my one year. I still have the dog, by the way.
This last anniversary, I got a card and a t-shirt with the superman S on it. Then she hugged me and told me I was her super man.
The dog cost her $400. The shirt and card cost her a total of $10. They both meant equally as much to me.
If you must buy him something, make it be one little thing that shows him one small way in which you think of him (I'm assuming the things you think of him are good). Then, when you give it, tell him why you got it for him in ten words or less. Something good and sweet that'll be easy to remember.
Then be prepared to forgive him in a few months when he can't remember any of it.
Reply:something really special and unique which you believe it would be unforgateable for a first anniversary.
Reply:a weekend away or at a nice hotel in your hometown/city, doesn't have to be pricey or anything. some hotels have good weekend specials. think it's a good idea seeing as you've already bought him plenty of material things. or give him a long massage or something. or a bj.

Can you reccomend a shoe?
I work for ten hours a day on my feet, stocking shelves and running a sales counter. I have been wearing New Balance 991s, but they loose their cushioning quality after a couple of months. Then my feet get sore. Can you recommend a shoe what would work for me?
Can you reccomend a shoe?
try a new insole, NOT GEL ones they are too squishy...
also if you can afford to, buy 2 pairs of 991's and rotate them.
remove insole at night to let shoe air out and dry inside..
buy 2 pair on sale if you can
they are good shoes, so i would stick with what fits and work with the insoles
Reply:theres no businees like

glad to help.. Report It
Reply:Try a cushioned insert instead of relacing your shoes entirely. I found a sports insert made by Spenco that worked well for me. I also prefer Nike Air Max shoes for their cushioning ability.
Reply:I can and they are expensive, but they last forever, so in the long run they aren't expensive. Dansko Professional stapled clogs are heavenly. I have trouble with my feet and my doctor recommended them. I got a pair at a store for $110. Then I went on eBay and got another pair (brand new) for $68 including shipping, so you can get them for less than the stores sell them for. They come in European sizes and I've noticed that people who sell them on eBay aren't always correct when they tell you what size that is in the U.S. Go to the Dansko website and they'll have a chart that will tell you what size you need. The last question on their FAQ's link leads you to the size chart. I've been wearing mine on a daily basis for about 2 1/2 or 3 years now. Haven't worn out yet.

Reply:The birkenstock shoes for a lot of people seem to be the best. They fit or MOLD to your foot and they are a bit pricey but hey ... your health is worth it.. I wore them while pregnat last year. They help to align feet right to keep your spine in place. Read up on them on line... They are german ... also Doc MArtians are good to ... they were invented to help your spine and feet. I think that both shoes have doctors involved at the begining of their creation ... when your in the mall the next time try a pair on ... see what you think .. the birkenstocks you wont want to take off.

Is this how this trickle down economics works? Or is it really flood up?
Millionaires are so last millennium. The new Forbes 400 list of richest Americans is billionaires only.
If you're net worth is a mere $999 million, forget it. A billion means a thousand million, and that's the Forbes 400 minimum -- up from $900 million in 2005.
Donald Trump and two of his kids grace the Forbes 400 cover, but ranked No. 94 with $2.9 billion, Trump's a long way from No. 1 Bill Gates with $53 billion.
The combined wealth of the 400 richest Americans is a record-breaking $1.25 trillion. That's about the same amount of combined wealth held by the 57 million households who make up half the U.S. population.
The economy is booming for billionaires. It's a bust for many other Americans.
A record 400 Americans are billionaires -- and a record 47 million Americans have no health insurance.
America has 400 billionaires -- and 37 million people below the official poverty line.
The official poverty line for one person was just $9,973 in 2005 (latest data). That wouldn't cover the custom-made men's shoes ($4,128) and Hermes purse ($6,250) on the Forbes Cost of Living Extremely Well Index. The official poverty line of $15,577 for a three-person family is lower than the cost of the Patek Philippe men's gold watch ($17,600).
The Forbes 400 minimum is up $100 million since 2005, but the federal minimum wage has been stuck at $5.15 an hour -- just $10,712 a year -- since 1997. GOP leaders in Congress have been holding a raise for minimum wage workers hostage to more giant tax cuts for wealthy inheritors.
Wealth isn't trickling down. It's flooding up -- from workers to bosses, small investors to big, poorer to richer.
The heirs to Wal-Mart founders Sam and Bud Walton have a combined $82.5 billion -- while the children of Wal-Mart workers swell the ranks of state health insurance programs for the neediest.
In today's corporate America, workers see gutted paychecks and pensions despite rising worker productivity, while CEOs get golden pay, perks, pensions and parachutes. The pay gap between average workers and CEOs has grown nine times wider since the 1970s.
The number of billionaires is a record high, but the share of national income going to wages and salaries is at a record low.
U.S. corporate profits increased 21 percent in the past year, Market Watch reported in March. "Profits have been so high because almost all of the benefits from productivity improvements are flowing to the owners of capital rather than to the workers," said Market Watch.
The wealthiest 1 percent of Americans (minimum net worth $6 million) owned 62 percent of the nation's business assets, 51 percent of stocks and 70 percent of bonds as of 2004, according to the latest data from the Federal Reserve Survey of Consumer Finances -- which excludes the Forbes 400. That's way up from 1989, when the wealthiest 1 percent owned 54 percent of business assets, 41 percent of stocks and 52 percent of bonds.
Our growing economy is not producing a growing middle class, but a richer aristocracy.
The high point for median household income -- the income of the household in the middle -- was $47,671 in 1999, adjusted for inflation. In 2005, median household income was $1,345 less at $46,326. In the same period, the Forbes 400 gained more than 100 billionaires.
Government policies are fueling rising inequality. Taxpayers with incomes above $1 million will see their after-tax income grow by about 6 percent this year thanks to tax cuts the nation can't afford.
In an economy where money is flowing up to the very top, even college-educated workers are going backward. Inflation-adjusted median household income was lower in 2005 than 1999 even when the householder had a bachelor's degree, master's degree, professional degree or doctorate.
The problem is much bigger than the rich getting richer, while the poor get poorer. The really rich are getting richer at the expense of most everyone else.
Solutions include restoring the link between rising worker productivity and pay, raising the miserly minimum wage, narrowing the obscene pay gap between workers and CEOs, rolling back tax cuts for the wealthy -- and stop taxing income from work more than income from capital gains.
Is this how this trickle down economics works? Or is it really flood up?
Trickle-down economics" and "trickle-down theory," in United States political rhetoric, are characterizations by opponents (principally Democrats) of the policy of lowering taxes on high incomes and business activity. Proponents of these policies claim that they will promote new investment and economic growth, thereby indirectly benefitting people who do not directly pay the taxes. Opponents characterize this as a claim that the people who would otherwise pay the tax will distribute their benefit to less wealthy individuals, so that a fraction will reach the general population and stimulate the economy.[1] Proponents of the policies generally do not use the terms "trickle-down economics" themselves.
Today "trickle-down economics" is most closely identified with the economic policies of the Ronald Reagan administration, known as Reaganomics or supply-side economics. A major feature of these policies was the reduction of tax rates on capital gains, corporate income, and higher individual incomes, along with the reduction or elimination of various excise taxes. David Stockman, who as Reagan's budget director championed these cuts but then became skeptical of them, told journalist William Greider that the term "supply-side economics" was used to promote a trickle-down idea.[2]
The term "trickle-down" comes from an analogy with a phenomenon in marketing, the trickle-down effect.
Reply:Study micro and marco economics it is a science. That will explain how it works any questions of reffering to redistribution of wealth is also explained. At the University level this is 2 classes or 6 hours of credit.

Donald Trump and two of his kids grace the Forbes 400 cover, but ranked No. 94 with $2.9 billion, Trump's a long way from No. 1 Bill Gates with $53 billion.
The combined wealth of the 400 richest Americans is a record-breaking $1.25 trillion. That's about the same amount of combined wealth held by the 57 million households who make up half the U.S. population.
The economy is booming for billionaires. It's a bust for many other Americans.
A record 400 Americans are billionaires -- and a record 47 million Americans have no health insurance.
America has 400 billionaires -- and 37 million people below the official poverty line.
The official poverty line for one person was just $9,973 in 2005 (latest data). That wouldn't cover the custom-made men's shoes ($4,128) and Hermes purse ($6,250) on the Forbes Cost of Living Extremely Well Index. The official poverty line of $15,577 for a three-person family is lower than the cost of the Patek Philippe men's gold watch ($17,600).
The Forbes 400 minimum is up $100 million since 2005, but the federal minimum wage has been stuck at $5.15 an hour -- just $10,712 a year -- since 1997. GOP leaders in Congress have been holding a raise for minimum wage workers hostage to more giant tax cuts for wealthy inheritors.
Wealth isn't trickling down. It's flooding up -- from workers to bosses, small investors to big, poorer to richer.
The heirs to Wal-Mart founders Sam and Bud Walton have a combined $82.5 billion -- while the children of Wal-Mart workers swell the ranks of state health insurance programs for the neediest.
In today's corporate America, workers see gutted paychecks and pensions despite rising worker productivity, while CEOs get golden pay, perks, pensions and parachutes. The pay gap between average workers and CEOs has grown nine times wider since the 1970s.
The number of billionaires is a record high, but the share of national income going to wages and salaries is at a record low.
U.S. corporate profits increased 21 percent in the past year, Market Watch reported in March. "Profits have been so high because almost all of the benefits from productivity improvements are flowing to the owners of capital rather than to the workers," said Market Watch.
The wealthiest 1 percent of Americans (minimum net worth $6 million) owned 62 percent of the nation's business assets, 51 percent of stocks and 70 percent of bonds as of 2004, according to the latest data from the Federal Reserve Survey of Consumer Finances -- which excludes the Forbes 400. That's way up from 1989, when the wealthiest 1 percent owned 54 percent of business assets, 41 percent of stocks and 52 percent of bonds.
Our growing economy is not producing a growing middle class, but a richer aristocracy.
The high point for median household income -- the income of the household in the middle -- was $47,671 in 1999, adjusted for inflation. In 2005, median household income was $1,345 less at $46,326. In the same period, the Forbes 400 gained more than 100 billionaires.
Government policies are fueling rising inequality. Taxpayers with incomes above $1 million will see their after-tax income grow by about 6 percent this year thanks to tax cuts the nation can't afford.
In an economy where money is flowing up to the very top, even college-educated workers are going backward. Inflation-adjusted median household income was lower in 2005 than 1999 even when the householder had a bachelor's degree, master's degree, professional degree or doctorate.
The problem is much bigger than the rich getting richer, while the poor get poorer. The really rich are getting richer at the expense of most everyone else.
Solutions include restoring the link between rising worker productivity and pay, raising the miserly minimum wage, narrowing the obscene pay gap between workers and CEOs, rolling back tax cuts for the wealthy -- and stop taxing income from work more than income from capital gains.
Is this how this trickle down economics works? Or is it really flood up?
Trickle-down economics" and "trickle-down theory," in United States political rhetoric, are characterizations by opponents (principally Democrats) of the policy of lowering taxes on high incomes and business activity. Proponents of these policies claim that they will promote new investment and economic growth, thereby indirectly benefitting people who do not directly pay the taxes. Opponents characterize this as a claim that the people who would otherwise pay the tax will distribute their benefit to less wealthy individuals, so that a fraction will reach the general population and stimulate the economy.[1] Proponents of the policies generally do not use the terms "trickle-down economics" themselves.
Today "trickle-down economics" is most closely identified with the economic policies of the Ronald Reagan administration, known as Reaganomics or supply-side economics. A major feature of these policies was the reduction of tax rates on capital gains, corporate income, and higher individual incomes, along with the reduction or elimination of various excise taxes. David Stockman, who as Reagan's budget director championed these cuts but then became skeptical of them, told journalist William Greider that the term "supply-side economics" was used to promote a trickle-down idea.[2]
The term "trickle-down" comes from an analogy with a phenomenon in marketing, the trickle-down effect.
Reply:Study micro and marco economics it is a science. That will explain how it works any questions of reffering to redistribution of wealth is also explained. At the University level this is 2 classes or 6 hours of credit.
