JQuote: We’re at our best *** begin quote *** I think I’d take the Martians to see us taking care of one another. I might show them parents walking with a new born baby on their shoulder late at night, trying to get the baby back to sleep. Or volunteers hammering together a house for someone whose life will be changed by it. Or the way we automatically stop for someone who has tripped and ask if they’re ok. Or perhaps how an entire nation gives food and medicine to a country across the ocean. It’s when we’re caring for one another that we’re at our best. *** end quote *** From the children’s version of David Weinberger’s book {JR: Wish I had said that. Wish I could be that. } |

But that didn't stop a sea lion from joining schoolchildren on a walk-a-thon. The marine mammal apparently noticed children doing laps
Friday morning around a course they had set up at the "He did a whole lap," said Kelly Watson, director of constituent relations and web communications at the private school. *** end quote *** Well if I can’t have the weak acting heroic or the poor acting honestly, then I’ll take animals. And, yeah, I know, this is not good, when a wild animal becomes “patterened” to trust humans. Heck, humans should be wary of trust humans. It’s a tough world out there. I can’t imagine the joy of the children and the consternation of the adults. But, perhaps it was the Intelligent Designer’s way of reward the children for their good work with a little entertainment. That’s my belief and I’m sticking to it. |

From: If you don't read anything else today, read this...and share it with all your friends and acquaintances. .This is the same MGen Scales that is one of the analysts on Fox News..And tell the next media person you see what a disservice they are doing to this great Country of ours, and the brave men and women who are defending it. *** begin quote *** MG Scales Yesterday the citizens of My speech is below. Happy Memorial Day. Mr. Kuhn, friends of Coming here never gets old. It never becomes tiresome. It never fails to excite a passion or raise my spirit. To those who have never seen war surely emotions like these seem strange indeed. Some of our citizens who hear old soldiers like me talk about a love for a battlefield conclude that we love war. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Part of my love for this place is personal. A distant relative, Colonel Alfred M. Scales, was seriously wounded leading Scales North Carolina Brigade up Seminary Ridge on the first day of the battle. Another reason I venerate this place is because it is a
soldier's laboratory and a place to learn the art of war. We soldiers
practice our profession only infrequently so we rely on past battles to teach
us about the future. Even though Another reason why this place attracts me is because all
of what you see around you is so close to home. This was But I'm drawn here mainly to relive and revive in my own
soul the unique influences that brought young soldiers here to fight and die
a century and a half ago. Again and again, it's the same old question from
politicians and media who have the rare privilege of watching soldiers in
action in I tell them time and again what every one of you sitting
here today, those of you who have seen the face of death in war, understand:
it's not really about loyalty. It's not about a belief in some abstract
notion concerning war aims or national strategy. It's not even about winning
or losing. On that fateful evening on the last day of June 1863 soldiers
weren't sitting around campfires in Cashtown or Emmittsburg roasting coffee and frying bacon to discuss
the latest pronouncements from Lincoln or Jefferson Davis. They might have
trusted their leaders or maybe they didn't. They might have been well
informed and passionate about their cause or maybe not. They might have
joined the colors to end slavery or restore the Union or maybe they just were
shanghaied on the docks in Brooklyn or Before battle young soldiers then and now think about
their buddies. They talk about families, wives and girlfriends and relate to
each other through very personal confessions. The armies that met at Soldiers suffer, fight and occasionally die for each other. It's as simple as that. What brought Longstreet's or Hancock's men to face the canister on Little Round Top or rifled musket fire on Cemetery Ridge was no different than the motive force that compels young soldiers today to kick open a door in Ramadi with the expectation that what lies on the other side is either an innocent huddling with a child in her arms or a fanatic insurgent yearning to buy his ticket to eternity by killing the infidel. No difference. A civil war soldier was often lured from the slums of What makes a person successful in A last point of history before I close today. The Anglo Saxon heritage of buddy loyalty has been long and frightfully won. Almost six hundred years ago the English king, Henry V, waited on a cold and muddy battlefield to face a French army many times his size. Shakespeare captured the ethos of that moment in his play Henry V. To be sure Shakespeare wasn't there but he was there in spirit because he understood the emotions that gripped and the bonds that brought together both king and soldier. Henry didn't talk about national strategy. He didn't try to justify faulty intelligence or ill formed command decisions that put his soldiers at such a terrible disadvantage. Instead, he talked about what made English soldiers fight and what in all probability would allow them to prevail the next day against terrible odds. Remember this is a monarch talking to his men: his story shall the good man teach his son; From this day ending to the ending of the world, I don't care that virtually all of Some day we will all join those who are resting here. Over a campfire of boiling coffee and frying bacon you will join with your Civil War band of brothers to recount the experience of serving something greater than yourselves. I believe in my very soul that the Almighty reserves a corner of heaven, probably around an inextinguishable campfire where someday we can meet and embrace; all of the band of brothers throughout the ages to tell our stories while envious standers-by watch and wonder how horrific and incendiary the crucible of violence must have been to bring such a disparate assemblage so close to the hand of God. Until we meet there thank you for your service, thank you for your Sacrifice, God bless you all, and God bless this great nation. ===== ===== ===== From: Reinke's Jasper (mc68alum) Persona I read this several times and I'm still of mixed emotions.

I would NOT honor any of these ... these ... bozos. I firmly believe that a President, Congress Critter, or any gooferment bureaucrat should be allowed to put troops in harm's way if they have never been their themselves. The wars are started by old men secure at home and fought by young men in far away lands. I do support the troops. I'd support all of them coming

From: Sheryl Chung (Class of 1996) Hi Mr. Reinke, I was reading through your weekly edition again and found so many interesting articles. First, I would like to send my condolence out to all of the families that have lost love ones recently. I am sure that they are experiencing a very painful time presently but I hope that they try to keep in mind that their love ones are now in a very happy and joyous place with God. Secondly, I was very pleased to see that Kristen [n.b. 2006 Carroll, Kirsten] was provided additional help by our alumni community in her search for a career, displaying the kind of help and support that Manhattan College alumni can provide as a unified community working together. Thirdly, it was fantastic to hear that a new alumni has joined on, King T. Lam (class of 1978). Lastly, it was a great pleasure to read the article about the fantastic work that James Powers (class of 1965) has done in the past and is still presently conducting through his work and effort. I wanted to congratulate him on achieving the Lifetime Achievement Award for Meritorious Contributions to Neuropathology. Bye, ===== ===== ===== {JR: Note “mr reinke” makes me feel really really old.

Control your own subscription: (1) Send a message from your old email account to Distribute_Jasper_Jottings-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com saying that you’re switching. (2) Send a message from your new email account to Distribute_Jasper_Jottings-subscribe@yahoogroups.com with your name and class year. To keep me from spamming you, Yahoo only permits me to invite and delete people. I can NOT just ADD your email address. AND you’re done. With zero extra work for the CIC! :-) http://www.jasperjottings.com/boilerplate.htm |

http://www.homelandstupidity.us/2007/04/26/ten-years-left-for-social-security Ten years left for Social Security *** begin quote *** By 2017 Social Security will begin paying out more in benefits than it collects in taxes and will have to begin redeeming bonds from the Social Security Trust Fund. Worse, Medicare is expected to cross the same line later this year, resulting in a massive fiscal crisis. *** end quote *** Redeeming what? Oh you mean those worthless IOUs written by past Congresses to future benfit recipients? I’m sure the Chinese Government will happy to discuss them with you.

Don’t trust the gooferment with anything as important as money, retirement, or … … really any thing! |
And that’s the last word.
