I had blogged that same idea on Nov. 12 on my blog. I laid out a general idea just like that with a modification time line at about 7 years in order to jump start things NOW! You can read that story by clicking my name above and clicking on the title “Polished Program of deceit” in the Archive section on the right.

Today is a thought on Noah, Bush, Paul Revere and Obama, The Boston Tea Party and The People’s Temple…

Many people will have excess disposable income as a result of their lower mortgage payments. They will spend some of this in the marketplace. Since personal spending accounts for about 70% of America’s economy then, it should help kick start the economy back to normal levels.

The confidence that will return to the real estate market because of the knowledge that people can now afford to pay their mortgages will encourage banks to free up credit.

Of course other measures taken along with this could speed up the overall recovery.

We are still in control of our country. Don’t let these sheep scare you. Here is all you need to know about how that nigger got elected.

“Stuff White People Like: John McCain” (Alex Koppelman @ Salon)
Overall, according to exit polling, 55 percent of whites nationally voted for John McCain, while 43 percent supported Obama. That’s very close to what Al Gore got in 2000 and what John Kerry got in 2004.??I know what some commenters are already thinking — it was those stereotypically racist Southern whites who skewed the numbers, right? Wrong. True, Southern whites voted in far greater numbers for McCain over Obama — 67-31, to be exact, but according to the Pew Research Center, in only one out of four regions of the country, the East, did whites break for the Democrat. And Southern whites’ support for the Democratic nominee was actually up 2 percentage points (or roughly 7 percent) over what it was in 2004.??What really accounted for Obama’s victory was an uptick in the African-American and Hispanic share of the electorate, and the tendency of voters from both of those demographic groups to break Democratic in larger numbers than in previous elections.

Next time get out and vote. Let’s take our country’s top job back next election

And now, once again, we come full circle. A recent analysis of echinacea studies has concluded that this popular botanical medicine significantly reduces the risk you’ll catch a cold and also can cut a cold’s duration. This is good news as we’re still in the midst of the cold and flu season, and it adds more evidence to what we’ve always believed about this natural purple coneflower remedy here at Daily Health News. Yet it wasn’t long ago that a New England Journal of Medicine study (July 28, 2005) stated just the opposite, calling the effects of echinacea not clinically significant in fighting colds. So which report should you trust?
According to Craig I. Coleman, PharmD, assistant professor of pharmacy practice at the University of Connecticut, who helped conduct this latest echinacea research, there are many possible reasons why one individual study might have found this treatment ineffective. For example, there are different types of echinacea, different dosages, different frequencies of dosage, etc. In the case of the New England Journal of Medicine study, Dr. Coleman points out that a less effective species of echinacea was used (Echinacea angustifolia rather than Echinacea purpurea), and at a dosage that was only a third what was recommended. Moreover, only one of the more than 200 viruses that cause cold symptoms was tested.
THE POTENT PURPLE CONEFLOWER
To learn the truth about echinacea, Dr. Coleman and his colleagues combined data from 14 previous clinical trials involving nearly 3,000 people. Since many studies include less than 100 participants, he notes that the much larger meta-analysis packs more statistical power and is also likely to uncover effects of a treatment that might not have shown up in smaller studies. For the greatest accuracy, researchers also chose only randomized, placebo-controlled and peer reviewed trials — the ones most likely to yield reliable results.
The results were impressive. Researchers found that…
• Echinacea reduces the chance of catching a cold by 58% when taken prior to or right at the first hint of a cold.
• If you already have a cold, taking echinacea can shorten the duration of it by a day and a half.
POWERFUL COLD PREVENTION AND TREATMENT
“The take-home message from our study is that echinacea does indeed have powerful cold prevention and treatment benefits,” says Dr. Coleman. Yet with more than 800 echinacea products on the market today, he believes more research is needed to determine the best product preparation and proper dosage. For best results, try taking it at the first sign of a cold. Daily Health News contributing medical editor Andrew L. Rubman, ND, says his two favorite echinacea products are by Herb Pharm and Eclectic Institute.
