Beggars
Jose and Carlos are both beggars. They beg in different areas of town.
Carlos begs for the same amount of time as Jose, but only collects about eight or nine dollars a day.
Every day, Jose brings home a suitcase full of ten dollar bills. He drives a Mercedes, lives in a mortgage-free house, and has lots of cash to spend.
"Hey, amigo," Carlos says to Jose, "I work just as long and hard as you do, so how come you bring home a suitcase full of ten dollar bills every day?"
Jose says, "Look at your sign, what does it say?"
Carlos' sign reads;
I have no work, a wife and
Six kids to support.
"What's wrong with that?" Carlos asks him.
"No wonder you only get eight or nine dollars a day!"
Carlos says, "Alright, so what does your sign say?"
Jose's sign reads:
I only need ten dollars
To get back to
Mexico

OBAMA�S COLLEGE ROOMMATE SPEAKS OUT
By Wayne Allyn Root,�June 6th, 2010
Barack Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent. To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he's doing. He is purposely overwhelming the�U.S.�economy to create systemic failure, economic crisis and social chaos -- thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within.�
�
Barack Obama is my college classmate (Columbia�University, class of '83). As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one, Obama is following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at�Columbia�University. They outlined a plan to socialize�America�by overwhelming the system with government spending and entitlement demands.
Add up the clues below. Taken individually they're alarming. Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority that desperately needs government for survival ... and can be counted on to always vote for bigger government. Why not? They have no responsibility to pay for it.
�
-- Universal health care. The health care bill had very little to do with health care.�It had everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital and health care workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents (who will join government employee unions). Obama doesn't care that giving free health care to 30 million Americans will add trillions to the national debt. What he does care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million voters to Democrats and big government. Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill in the middle of a depression?
�
-- Cap and trade. Like health care legislation having nothing to do with health care, cap and trade has nothing to do with global warming. It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government control of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama's biggest contributors. Those powerful and wealthy unions and contributors (like GE, which owns NBC, MSNBC and CNBC) can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants. They will kick-back hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to Obama and the Democratic Party to keep them in power. The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with bigger cars, bigger homes and businesses helps Obama "spread the wealth around."
�
-- Make�Puerto Rico�a state. Why? Who's asking for a 51st state? Who's asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression?�Certainly not American taxpayers. But this has been Obama's plan all along. His goal is to add two new Democrat senators, five Democrat congressman and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government.
�
-- Legalize 12 million illegal immigrants. Just giving these 12 million potential new citizens free health care alone could overwhelm the system and bankrupt�America. But it adds 12 million reliable new Democrat voters who can be counted on to support big government.�Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children, food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and eventually Social Security.
�
-- Stimulus and bailouts. Where did all that money go? It went to Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN), and unions -- including billions of dollars to save or create jobs of government employees across the country. It went to save GM and Chrysler so that their employees could keep paying union dues. It went to AIG so that Goldman Sachs could be bailed out (after giving Obama almost $1 million in contributions). A staggering $125 billion went to teachers (thereby protecting their union dues). All those public employees will vote loyally Democrat to protect their bloated salaries and pensions that are bankrupting�America. The country goes broke, future generations face a bleak future, but Obama, the Democrat Party, government, and the unions grow more powerful. The ends justify the means.
�
-- Raise taxes on small business owners, high-income earners, and job creators. Put the entire burden on only the top 20 percent of taxpayers, redistribute the income, punish success, and reward those who did nothing to deserve it (except vote for Obama). Reagan wanted to dramatically cut taxes in order to starve the government. Obama wants to dramatically raise taxes to starve his political opposition.
�
With the acts outlined above, Obama and his regime have created a vast and rapidly expanding constituency of voters dependent on big government; a vast privileged class of public employees who work for big government; and a government dedicated to destroying capitalism and installing themselves as socialist rulers by overwhelming the system.
�
Add it up and you've got the perfect Marxist scheme -- all devised by my�Columbia�University�college classmate Barack Obama using the Cloward and Piven Plan.

Alligator Hunting
A young blonde was on vacation in the depths of Louisiana. She wanted a pair of genuine alligator shoes in the worst way, but was very reluctant to pay the high prices the local vendors were asking.
After becoming very frustrated with the "no haggle" attitude of one of the shopkeepers, the blonde shouted, "Maybe I'll just go out and catch my own alligator so I can get a pair of shoes at a reasonable price!"
The shopkeeper said, "By all means, be my guest. Maybe you'll luck out and catch yourself a big one!"
Determined, the blonde turned and headed for the swamps, set on catching herself an alligator.
Later in the day, the shopkeeper is driving home, when he spots the young woman standing waist deep in the water, shotgun in hand. Just then, he sees a huge 9 foot alligator swimming quickly toward her. She takes aim, kills the creature and with a great deal of effort hauls it on to the swamp bank. Laying nearby were several more of the dead creatures.
The shopkeeper watches in amazement. Just then the blonde flips the alligator on it's back, and frustrated, shouts out, "Damn it, this one isn't wearing any shoes either!"

An old lady
An old lady was standing at the railing of the cruise ship
holding her hat tight
so that it would not blow away in the wind.
A gentleman approached her and said,
"Pardon me, madam.
I do not intend to be forward
but did you know that your dress
is blowing up in this high wind?"
"Yes, I know," said the lady.
"I need both my hands
to hold onto this hat."
"But madam, you must know that you are
not wearing any panties
and your privates are exposed!"
said the gentleman in earnest.
The woman looked down,
then back up at the man
and replied,
"Sir, anything you see down there
is 85 years old.
I just bought this hat yesterday!"
holding her hat tight
so that it would not blow away in the wind.
A gentleman approached her and said,
"Pardon me, madam.
I do not intend to be forward
but did you know that your dress

The woman looked down,
then back up at the man
and replied,
"Sir, anything you see down there
is 85 years old.
I just bought this hat yesterday!"
Just simply a real nice story. Read it.
One day a man saw a old lady, stranded on the side of the road, but even in the dim light of day, he could see she needed help. So he pulled up in front of her Mercedes and got out. His Pontiac was still sputtering when he approached her.
Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn't look safe ; he looked poor and hungry.
He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He knew how she felt. It was that chill which only fear can put in you.
He said, 'I'm here to help you, ma'am. Why don't you wait in the car where it's warm? By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson.'
Well, all she had was a flat tire, but for an old lady, that was bad enough. Bryan crawled under the car looking for a place to put the jack, skinning his knuckles a time or two. Soon he was able to change the tire. But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt.
As he was tightening up the lug nuts, she rolled down the window and began to talk to him. She told him that she was from St. Louis and was only just passing through. She couldn't thank him enough for coming to her aid.
Bryan just smiled as he closed her trunk. The lady asked how much she owed him. Any amount would have been all right with her. She already imagined all the awful things that could have happened had he not stopped. Bryan never thought twice about being paid. This was not a job to him. This was helping someone in need, and God knows there were plenty, who had given him a hand in the past. He had lived his whole life that way, and it never occurred to him to act any other way.
He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance they needed, and Bryan added, 'And think of me..'
He waited until she started her car and drove off. It had been a cold and depressing day, but he felt good as he headed for home, disappearing into the twilight.
A few miles down the road the lady saw a small cafe. She went in to grab a bite to eat, and take the chill off before she made the last leg of her trip home. It was a dingy looking restaurant. Outside were two old gas pumps. The whole scene was unfamiliar to her. The waitress came over and brought a clean towel to wipe her wet hair. She had a sweet smile, one that even being on her feet for the whole day couldn't erase. The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant, but she never let the strain and aches change her attitude. The old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so giving to a stranger. Then she remembered Bryan ...
After the lady finished her meal, she paid with a hundred dollar bill. The waitress quickly went to get change for her hundred dollar bill, but the old lady had slipped right out the door. She was gone by the time the waitress came back. The waitress wondered where the lady could be. Then she noticed something written on the napkin.
There were tears in her eyes when she read what the lady wrote: 'You don't owe me anything. I have been there too.. Somebody once helped me out, the way I'm helping you. If you really want to pay me back, here is what you do: Do not let this chain of love end with you.'
Under the napkin were four more $100 bills.
Well, there were tables to clear, sugar bowls to fill, and people to serve, but the waitress made it through another day. That night when she got home from work and climbed into bed, she was thinking about the money and what the lady had written. How could the lady have known how much she and her husband needed it? With the baby due next month, it was going to be hard....
She knew how worried her husband was, and as he lay sleeping next to her, she gave him a soft kiss and whispered soft and low, 'Everything's going to be all right. I love you, Bryan Anderson.'
There is an old saying 'What goes around comes around..' Today I sent you this story, and I'm asking you to pass it on. Let this light shine.
Don 't delete it, don't return it. Simply, pass this on to a friend.
Good friends are like stars.....You don't always see them, but you know they are always there.

Joe Hunter
Joe Hunter is a waste of time. If you have a problem, you must go to the HOA or the CDD. Joe Hunter knows nothing and will not help anyone out except his boss.
Unsign flyers are being place under residents doormats and in club house
Good Afternoon,
It is so refreshing to have someone state what you have in your email to the District Manager. Your email has been forwarded to each Supervisor. I find it too bad it could not be sent to all LA 1 residents...
I have never had a problem with those who disagree with me. As long as the FACTS stated are TRUE.....When I asked for the person or group responsible for hiding in the dark and placing unsigned fliers under my doormat and on the Coffee tables, you will note NOT A PERSON MOVED to answer my request. When I asked Joe Hunter how he could permit this, he simply had NO ANSWER.....This was also brought to Tricia Adams attention to oversee unsigned fliers in LAKE ASHTON clubhouse that are NOT FACTS, but Lies.. She admitted it should not have happened. TOO LATE TRICIA....IT DID HAPPEN !
Your question should best be answered at the upcoming CDD meeting 8-27-10. You are correct on everything you stated....
Thank you for your honesty.

Brenda Van Sickle avoids the question
Question:
I would like each candidate to state if they or their spouse are bond holders in the Lake Ashton East CDD. I believe that this is important in our understanding on who is the better candidate and how a candidate may vote on certain issues. I certainly hope that this question is included in the Q&A session that usually occurs during the election process.
As for conflict of interest, please tell me what that might be. You might want to read up on the Florida Statute 112.311 and for a definition of conflict of interest Florida Statute 112.312.
Question
Brenda and all Candidates,
What Tom Scali is referring to is when Lake Ashton opened its doors in 2000, and during the 'heyday' of sales, our developer offered various forms of financial instruments, with a guaranteed rates of return; these financial instruments were promoted / sold by Financial Advisor (and resident) Robert J. Ference, of the Ingram Financial Group. The developer based his 'guarantee rate of return' on his vast real estate holdings. Thus many Lake Ashton residents, to include some of the past and current HOA and CDD leaders, took advantage of these 'guaranteed' investment.
Thus the question remains - a statement from each candidate that they (their spouse or themselves) do or do not own any of these bonds, since ownership of such investments represents a conflict of interest.
For Brenda specifically, a statement from you regarding you and your families long time relationship with the developer, including the various family members who work / worked for the developer, is in order, since such a relationship represents a conflict of interest. Also, will your husband still be mayor at the time that elections are to held? If so, then this too represents a conflict of interest and you should withdraw from this election.
Answer
We may not always agree, but I think we should be able to disagree respectfully.
I am not sure what my, as you put it, “long time relationship with the developer, including the various family members who work / worked for the developer, is in order, since such a relationship represents a conflict of interest. “ is all about. I have no family members who ever worked for the developer nor have I. If you would be so kind as to inform me where you got this incorrect information, I would be happy to enlighten them also. The only relationship I have with the developer is that I bought a house from him, as you did, and I rent an RV space from him, as you do. Mr. Mayor is not running for the CDD board and I get no vote downtown, so I am not sure why you feel this is a conflict of interest. Please show me the statute that states there is a conflict. I have NO intent of withdrawing from this election.
You and I disagree on some major issues concerning Lake Ashton. I am sorry you feel those are not substantial enough to use in your campaign for the candidates you support. There is no need to resort to fabrications.
Brenda Van Sickle, Candidate for the Lake Ashton CDD, seat 2
I give up reply the writer of the blog. Answer the Question! Yes or No All she can do is call the cops on the card players.
I would like each candidate to state if they or their spouse are bond holders in the Lake Ashton East CDD. I believe that this is important in our understanding on who is the better candidate and how a candidate may vote on certain issues. I certainly hope that this question is included in the Q&A session that usually occurs during the election process.
As for conflict of interest, please tell me what that might be. You might want to read up on the Florida Statute 112.311 and for a definition of conflict of interest Florida Statute 112.312.
Question
Brenda and all Candidates,
What Tom Scali is referring to is when Lake Ashton opened its doors in 2000, and during the 'heyday' of sales, our developer offered various forms of financial instruments, with a guaranteed rates of return; these financial instruments were promoted / sold by Financial Advisor (and resident) Robert J. Ference, of the Ingram Financial Group. The developer based his 'guarantee rate of return' on his vast real estate holdings. Thus many Lake Ashton residents, to include some of the past and current HOA and CDD leaders, took advantage of these 'guaranteed' investment.
Thus the question remains - a statement from each candidate that they (their spouse or themselves) do or do not own any of these bonds, since ownership of such investments represents a conflict of interest.
For Brenda specifically, a statement from you regarding you and your families long time relationship with the developer, including the various family members who work / worked for the developer, is in order, since such a relationship represents a conflict of interest. Also, will your husband still be mayor at the time that elections are to held? If so, then this too represents a conflict of interest and you should withdraw from this election.
Answer
We may not always agree, but I think we should be able to disagree respectfully.
I am not sure what my, as you put it, “long time relationship with the developer, including the various family members who work / worked for the developer, is in order, since such a relationship represents a conflict of interest. “ is all about.

Wake up Lake Ashton Residents
When I first moved in 5 years ago, we had lots of shows, activities, travel, and things to do. Now there is hardly nothing thanks to the fee they charge in renting the community hall. And if you do rent the hall, Trish Adams and Joe Hunter tells you what to do and how to do it. No, its no fun to start anything here at Lake Ashton. You have people who call the cops on you, people who accusing you of things you didn't do. Bingo money being stolen from Bingo players and spend on other things other than charity. Developer who goes belly up when he thinks there is trouble ahead, Chinese drywall and than the roads. No sidewalks here so you have to walk in the roads. A restaurant that the residents has to pay all the water, electric and maintenance cost while the developer keeps the profits. There seems to be somethings wrong here with this community. We are hiring Lawyers hand over fist and there is no end in sight. Cable, dock, roads and yet no issue is in sight. Yes, Lake Ashton is going down hill and we have to hired lawyers to solve our problems. What is going on here? People are scared to speak their mind. Yes they are the ones who turn the other way and just read the L A Times and all the ads control by the developer and still eat in the restaurant. Where are these people coming from? No high school education, just high school drop outs. We have one resident that started a blog with lots of things to say, drop it without notice and never once send me a story to write. We all know her but she hides behind her husband we all know.

A Holocaust Survivor's View on Islam
This is one of the best explanations of the Muslim terrorist situation I have read. His references to past history are accurate and clear. Not long, easy to understand, and well worth the read. The author of this email is Dr. Emanuel Tanay, a well-known and well respected psychiatrist.
A Holocaust Survivor’s View on Islam
A man, whose family was German aristocracy prior to World War II, owned a number of large industries and estates. When asked how many German people were true Nazis, the answer he gave can guide our attitude toward fanaticism. 'Very few people were true Nazis,' he said, 'but many enjoyed the return of German pride, and many more were too busy to care. I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So, the majority just sat back and let it all happen. Then, before we knew it, they owned us, and we had lost control, and the end of the world had come. My family lost everything. I ended up in a concentration camp and the Allies destroyed my factories.'
We are told again and again by 'experts' and 'talking heads' that Islam is the religion of peace and that the vast majority of Muslims just want to live in peace. Although this unqualified assertion may be true, it is entirely irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff, meant to make us feel better, and meant to somehow diminish the specter of fanatics rampaging across the globe in the name of Islam.
The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history. It is the fanatics who march... It is the fanatics who wage any one of 50 shooting wars worldwide. It is the fanatics who systematically slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and are gradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic wave. It is the fanatics who bomb, behead, murder, or honor-kill. It is the fanatics who take over mosque after mosque. It is the fanatics who zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims and homosexuals. It is the fanatics who teach their young to kill and to become suicide bombers.
The hard, quantifiable fact is that the peaceful majority, the 'silent majority,' is cowed and extraneous.
Communist Russia was comprised of Russians who just wanted to live in peace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible for the murder of about 20 million people. The peaceful majority were irrelevant. China’s huge population was peaceful as well, but Chinese Communists managed to kill a staggering 70 million people.
The average Japanese individual prior to World War II was not a warmongering sadist. Yet, Japan murdered and slaughtered its way across South East Asia in an orgy of killing that included the systematic murder of 12 million Chinese civilians; most killed by sword, shovel, and bayonet.
And who can forget Rwanda, which collapsed into butchery. Could it not be said that the majority of Rwandans were ‘peace loving’?
History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt, yet for all our powers of reason, we often miss the most basic and uncomplicated of points:
Peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by their silence.
Peace-loving Muslims will become our enemy if they don't speak up, because like my friend from Germany, they will awaken one day and find that the fanatics own them, and the end of their world will have begun.
Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Rwandans, Serbs, Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians, and many others have died because the peaceful majority did not speak up until it was too late. As for us who watch it all unfold, we must pay attention to the only group that counts -- the fanatics who threaten our way of life.
Lastly, anyone who doubts that the issue is serious and just deletes this email without sending it on is contributing to the passiveness that allows the problems to expand. So, extend yourself a bit and send this on and on and on! Let us hope that thousands, world-wide, read this and think about it, and send it on - before it's too late.

A woman went down to the Welfare Office to get aid. The office worker asked her, "How many children do you have?"
"Ten," she replied.
"What are their names?" he asked.
"LeRoy, LeRoy, LeRoy, LeRoy, LeRoy, LeRoy, LeRoy, LeRoy, LeRoy, and LeRoy," she answered.
"They're all named LeRoy?" he asked "What if you want them to come in from playing outside?"
"Oh, that's easy," she said. "I just call 'LeRoy,' and they all come running in."
"And, if you want them to come to the table for dinner?"
"I just say, 'LeRoy, come eat your dinner'," she answered.
"But what if you just want ONE of them to do something?" he asked.
"Oh, that's easy," she said. "I just use their last name!"
"Ten," she replied.
"What are their names?" he asked.

A bunch of blondes walk into a restaurant celebrating and chanting, "28 days, 28 days...it only took us 28 days!"
Everyone was wondering what took them 28 days and why they were celebrating. Finally, when the blondes were about to leave, a waiter goes up to them and asks, "What took you 28 days? Why are you celebrating?"
All the blondes say, "We just finished a puzzle in 28 days and on the box it said 3-6 years!!!"
