The new drugs empower the immune system to recognize cancer cells as an enemy and attack them, although the treatments can have serious side effects.

Amazing at what we can learn about His Plan. Anyone, who thinks this is "random", must see a pattern in lottery results.

Truly stunning.

Sounds like folks are going to evaluate the risks and rewards. As they should always do!

On-campus barber = clean-cut kids
By Danielle Valente

*** begin quote ***

When the Beatles were big and cool guys sported bellbottom jeans and gave up haircuts, he was labeled the loneliest man on campus by the Manhattan College Quadrangle.

Now those 1960s “longhairs” come back to visit and the next generation of students occupy his chair.

Artie Urrutia, the college’s own barber, first came to MC in February 1962 and 50 years later, it doesn’t seem like he’ll be going anywhere soon.

The sharp-witted 80-year-old with glasses and a neatly pressed cardigan seems at home in his old-fashioned barbershop complete with a red, white and blue swirl on the window.

Raised by his grandparents in a New Jersey home equipped with a family barbershop, Mr. Urrutia already knew how to cut by the time he was about 12.

JEMAIL: Mangone, Mark (MC1977)  thinks government is need for retribution

from: Mangone, Mark (MC1977) 
to: Distribute_Jasper_Jottings-owner

subject: RE: [Distribute_Jasper_Jottings] JASPER JOTTINGS Week 24 - 2012 June 10

Hello John,

You indicated that greed was the motivation behind someone trading for three cows and a woman rather than robbing the three cows and a woman. Actually, greed is the motivation behind either trading or robbing. What makes one choose trading over robbing? This is usually the fear of retribution by the police and courts, the government you so despise.

Regards,
Mark A. Mangone

# - # - # 

[JR: Agreed that fear of retribution turns one from robbery to trading. We don't need Gooferment to have that fear. As a matter of fact, it's usually corrupt greedy people forming up gangs to intimidate peaceful people. When they are smart, they call themselves "Gooferment"! So the meme is "All people are bad. Government is needed to protect us from bad people. Government is run and controlled by people. Sooo, we need bad people labeled "government" to protect us from bad people." See the problem? Greed isn't a negative; it's a positive. Government when small and limited MAY be needed to organize "We, The Sheeple" to protect themselves. That's about it.]

 Dear Jude,

   First and foremost, congratulations to you and Ashley! This must be very
exciting for you both. And again, thank you again for all the work you and
the Hampton Rotary have done for me. I purchased my computer this week with
my mom and sister this week, but I have not been able to set it up because I
dont have a desk. Cy and I were unable to coordinate a time for delivery,
but the other day I happened to be home when he was an hour away so it
finally came. It's amazing! Today I went to Harrisburg to be interviewed
too, which was also very exciting. Thank you again for everything you have
done!

Hope to hear from you soon,

ENDNOTE: Shutdowns demonstrate resolve

http://www.catholicculture.org/news/headlines/index.cfm?storyid=14426

US voters doubt Catholic bishops would close down hospitals, schools
CWN - May 25, 2012

*** begin quote ***

Most American voters doubt that Catholic bishops would shut down schools, hospitals, and charitable institutions in response to the federal government’s contraceptive mandate, a new Rasmussen poll shows.

*** end quote ***

Well, unfortunately, you only get the rights you are willing to fight for.

Want Freedom of Religion?

Then there has to be more than just lame lawsuits.

Think Oliver Twist: "Please sir, may I have some more?"

Asking one branch of the Gooferment to restrain the unconstitutional actions of another branch?

"Please, sir, may I have my rights?"

Each "Catholic organization" has to have a selective shut down. Let's demonstrate.

Otherwise, "paper tigers" and we really do NOT believe what we say we do.
