On 9/1/07, President of United Stooges <arexar4@yahoo.com > wrote:



      A little girl stood near a small church from which she had been turned away because it was "too crowded."

      "I can't go to Sunday School," she sobbed to the pastor as he walked by.


      Seeing her shabby, unkempt appearance, the pastor guessed the reason and, taking her by the hand, took her inside and found a place for her in the Sunday school class. The child was so happy that they found room for her, and she went to bed that night thinking of the children who have no place to worship Jesus.


      Some two years later, this child lay dead in one of the poor tenement buildings. Her parents called for the kindhearted pastor who had befriended their daughter to handle the final arrangements.


      As her poor little body was being moved, a worn and crumpled red purse was found whi ch seemed to have been rummaged from some trash dump.


      Inside was found 57 cents and a note, scribbled in childish handwriting, which read: "This is to help build the little church bigger so more children can go to Sunday School."


      For two years she had saved for this offering of love.


      When the pastor tearfully read that note, he knew instantly what he would do. Carrying this note and the cracked, red pocketbook to the pulpit, he told the story of her unselfish love and devotion.


      He challenged his deacons to get busy and raise enough money for the larger building.


      But the story does not end there...


      A newspaper learned of the story and published It. It was read by a wealthy realtor who offered them a parcel of land worth many thousands.


      When told that the church could not pay so much, he offered to sell it to the little church for 57 cents.


      Church members made large donations. Checks came from far and wide.
      Within five years the little girl's gift had increased to $250,000.00--a huge sum for that time (near the turn of the century). Her unselfish love had paid large dividends.


      When you are in the city of Philadelphia , look up Temple Baptist Church , with a seating capacity of 3,300. And be sure to visit TempleUniversity, where thousands of students are educated.


      Have a look, too, at the Good Samaritan Hospital and at a Sunday School building which houses hundreds of beautiful children, built so that no child in the area will ever need to be left outside during Sunday school time.


      In one of the rooms of this building may be seen the picture of the sweet face of the little girl whose 57 cents, so sacrificially saved, made such remarkable history. Alongside of it is a portrait of her kind pastor, Dr. Russell H. Conwell, author of the book, "Acres of Diamonds".


      This is a true story, which goes to show WHAT GOD CAN DO WITH 57 CENTS.


      Please send this back. (You'll see why.)


      St. Theresa Prayer (cannot be deleted)


      REMEMBER to make a wish before you read the prayer. That's all you have to do. There is nothing attached. This is a powerful novena.


      Just send this to four people and let me know what happens on the fourth day....


      Do not break th is, please. Prayer is one of the best free gifts we receive. There is no cost but a lot of reward.


      (This is true)


      (Did you make a wish?)


      If you don't make a wish, it won't come true. Last Chance to Make a Wish.


      May today there be peace within.
      May you trust your highest power that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
      May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.



      May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
      May you be content knowing you are a child of God.
      Let this presence settle into our bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing and dance. It is there for each and every one of you.


      Send This to 7 People within the next 5 minutes and your wish will come true.

[CanYoAssDigIt] Re: [Stoner-Times] Status Report on border fence

In July my wife and I spent two weeks in Europe. We visited four countries - Sweden, Denmark, Holland, and Germany, and, we didn't show our passports again until we were in the airport on the way back out.  Nobody was worried about us or tracked our movements.

In the States, you can't cross the border to or from harmless old Canada without an inquisition.


We crossed the strait between Denmark and Germany on a ferry that (in addition to three decks of cars and one for trucks) carried our train across!  They drove the train right onto the ferry, and drove it off the other side. As a guy who was involved in transportation for many years, I found it exhilarating and amazing. I've never seen anything like that.  Washington State DOT brags about their ferry system - it's a crude joke compared to what I saw.

I think there is still room for American innovation and ingenuity, but it's being crushed by our political leadership, and our own apathetic acceptance of the dismantling of everything that makes the US worthwhile.  It's time to get out of our hole where the only way we interact with the rest of the world is to bomb them, and learn a few things from parts of the world that have passed us by while we were busy patting ourselves on the back for being so wonderful.

The reason the European Union is working and the North American Union isn't, is because of the incredibly short-sighted fiscal policies of the 800-pound gorilla of the union.  The US economy is no longer based on long-term development, but rather on short-term speculation. It is not surprising that smaller economies like Canada and Mexico are drawn into the vortex, and swamped.

The answer isn't a fence on the border, it's social and economic justice, and it has to start where the criminals are active – in Washington DC

[CanYoAssDigIt] evil walks the earth...

it currently goes by the name of "bush"

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Greg Palast < palast@mailings.gregpalast.com>

Subject: "They wanted them poor niggers out of there."
To: Matt Love <matt.mattlove1@gmail.com>

"They wanted them poor niggers out of there."
New Orleans two years after


by Greg Palast
 
[Thurs August 30] "They wanted them poor niggers out of there and they ain't had no intention to allow it to be reopened to no poor niggers, you know? And that's just the bottom line."
 
It wasn't a pretty statement.  But I wasn't looking for pretty.  I'd taken my investigative team to New Orleans to meet with Malik Rahim.  Pretty isn't Malik's concern.
 
We needed an answer to a weird, puzzling and horrific discovery.  Among the miles and miles of devastated houses, rubble still there today in New Orleans, we found dry, beautiful homes.  But their residents were told by guys dressed like Ninjas wearing "Blackwater" badges:  "Try to go into your home and we'll arrest you."
 
These aren't just any homes.  They are the public housing projects of the city; the Lafitte Houses and others.  But unlike the cinder block monsters in the Bronx, these public units are beautiful townhouses, with wrought-iron porches and gardens right next to the tony French Quarter.
 
Raised up on high ground, with floors and walls of concrete, they were some of the only houses left salvageable after the Katrina flood.
 
Yet, two years later, there's still bars on the windows, the doors are welded shut and the residents banned from returning.  On the first anniversary of the flood, we were filming this odd scene when I saw a woman on the sidewalk, sobbing.  Night was falling.  What was wrong?
 
"They just messing all over us.  Putting me out our own house.  We come to go back to our own home and when we get there they got the police there putting us out.  Oh, no, this is not right.  I'm coming here from Texas seeing if I can get my house back.  But they said they ain't letting nobody in.  But where we gonna go at?"
 
Idiot me, I asked, "Where are you going to go tonight?"
 
"That's what I want to know, Mister.  Where I'm going to go - me and my kids?"
 
With the help of Patricia Thomas, a Lafitte resident, we broke into an apartment.  The place was gorgeous.  The cereal boxes still dry.  This was Patricia's home.  But we decided to get out before we got busted.
 
I wasn't naïve.  I had a good idea what this scam was all about:  89,000 poor and working class families stuck in Homeland Security's trailer park gulag while their good homes were guarded against their return by mercenaries.  Two decades ago, I worked for the Housing Authority of New Orleans.  Even then, the plan was to evict poor folk out of this very valuable real estate.  But it took the cover of a hurricane to do it.
 
Malik's organization, Common Ground, wouldn't wait for permission from the federal and local commissars to help folks return.  They organized takeovers of public housing by the residents.  And, in the face of threats and official displeasure, restored 350 apartments in a destroyed private development on the high ground across the Mississippi in the ward called, "Algiers."  The tenants rebuilt their own homes with their own sweat and their own scraps of cash based on a promise of the landlords to sell Common Ground the property in return for restoring it.

Why, I asked Malik, was there this strange lock-out from public housing?
 
Malik shook his dreds.  "They didn't want to open it up. They wanted them closed. They wanted them poor niggers out of there."
 
For Malik, the emphasis is on "poor."  The racial politics of the Deep South is as ugly as it is in Philadelphia, Pa.  But the New Orleans city establishment has no problem with Black folk per se.  After all, Mayor Ray Nagin's parents are African-American.

It's the Black survivors without the cash that are a problem.  So where New Orleans once stood, Mayor Nagin, in connivance with a Bush regime more than happy to keep a quarter million poor folk (i.e. Democrats) out of this swing state, is creating a new city:  a tourist town with a French Quarter, loose-spending drunks, hot-sheets hotels and a few Black people to perform the modern version of minstrel shows. 

Malik explained, "It's two cities. You know? There's the city for the white and the rich. And there's another city for the poor and Blacks. You know, the city that's for the white and rich has recovered. They had a Jazz Fest. They had a Mardi Gras. They're going to have the Saints playing for those who have recovered. But for those who haven't recovered, there's nothing."
 
So where are they now?  The sobbing woman and her kids are gone:  back to Texas, or wherever.  But they will not be allowed back into Lafitte.  Ever. 

And Patricia Thomas?  The middle-aged woman, worked sweeping up the vomit and beer each morning at a French Quarter karioke joint. Not much pay, no health insurance, of course.  She died since we filmed her - in a city bereft of health care.  New Orleans has closed all its public hospitals but for one "charity" make-shift emergency ward in an abandoned department store.
 
And the one bright star, Malik's housing project?  The tenants' work was done this past December.  By Christmastime, they received their eviction notices - and all were carried out of their rebuilt homes by marshals right after the New Year, including a paraplegic resident who'd lived in the Algiers building for decades.
 
Hurricane recovery is class war by other means.  And in this war of the powerful against the powerless, Mr. Bush can rightly land his fighter plane in Louisiana and declare that, unlike the war in Iraq, it is, indeed, "Mission Accomplished."
