When I was a kid, I couldn't understand why Eisenhower was so popular. Maybe this will explain why.

General Eisenhower Warned Us

It is a matter of history that when the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, General Dwight Eisenhower, found the victims of the death camps he ordered all possible photographs to be taken, and for the German people from surrounding villages to be ushered through the camps and even made to bury the dead.

He did this because he said in words to this effect:

'Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses -because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened'

This week, the UK debated whether to remove The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it 'offends' the Muslim population which claims it never occurred. It is not removed as yet.. However, this is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving into it.

It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended. This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the,6 million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians, and 1,900 Catholic priests Who were 'murdered, raped, burned, starved, beat, experimented on and humiliated' while the German people looked the other way!

Now, more than ever, with Iran , among others, claiming the Holocaust to be 'a myth,' it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets.

This e-mail is intended to reach 400 million people! Be a link in the memorial chain and help distribute this around the world.

How many years will it be before the attack on the World Trade Center NEVER HAPPENED',


because it offends some Muslim in the U.S. ???

FWD Emails Department :: MooPig

1947
Probably one of the best emails of the year!!!
The year is 1947

Some of you will recall that on July 8, 1947, a little over 60 years ago, witnesses claim that an unidentified flying object (UFO) with five aliens aboard crashed onto a sheep and mule ranch just outside Roswell , New Mexico .. This is a well known incident that many say has long been covered up by the U.S. Air Force and other federal agencies and organizations.

However, what you may NOT know is that in the month of April 1948, nine months after that historic day, the following people were born:

Albert A. Gore, Jr..
Hillary Rodham
John F. Kerry
William J. Clinton
Howard Dean
Nancy Pelosi
Dianne Feinstein
Charles E. Schumer
Barbara Boxer

See what happens when aliens breed with sheep and jackasses?
I certainly hope this bit of information clears up a lot of things for you. It did for me.

No wonder they support the bill to help illegal aliens!

HEALTH CARE: Action Steps No altruism is required -- moving to value-based competition will benefit every participant in the system. Those who act early will benefit most.

Competition in Health Care
Health care is on a collision course with patient needs and economic reality.

Without significant changes, the scale of the problem will only get worse.

Rising costs, mounting evidence of quality problems, and increasing numbers of Americans without insurance are unacceptable and unsustainable, but the future of health care is not predetermined.

It is a mistake to extrapolate and attempt to respond to trends within the current structure.

Instead, the most pressing task for leaders in health care is to create a new and better structure.

Effective leaders have the insight to revisit the fundamental purpose of an organization and imagine a different and more effective way to attain it.

Government control in health care is not inevitable.

Indeed, countries with government-dominated systems are moving away from that model. America can move now to a system based on the right kind of competition that will serve patients far better than either a government-run model or the current U.S. system.


Scoping the Problem
The system is broken, and the magnitude of the problem is staggering.

Identifying Root Causes
The fundamental flaw in the health care sector is not competition, but the wrong kind of competition.

How Reform Went Wrong
Piecemeal solutions aimed at symptoms rather than causes have proved to be ultimately ineffective.

Value-Based Competition
The focus for all actors must become improvement in health outcomes per dollar expended.

Rule 1: Maintain a good credit rating

Your credit score can affect many aspects of your life. Whether you need a loan to buy a home or if you apply for a credit card, your score is used to judge your reliability and risk. Your credit score helps determine the terms of your loans and if you'll even be approved.

The pros to having a good credit score
A good credit score means lower interest rates. It shows you have a responsible credit history and that you are a low-risk borrower who is less likely to default on your loans. So when you apply for a mortgage or auto loan, a lower interest rate could save you hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars in interest costs.

A good credit score also allows you to be more selective when choosing your lender. The better your score, the more leverage you may have in getting good terms on your loans. Shop around: Having lenders compete against each other can mean you get a more competitive interest rate and ensures that you know that you explored a wide range of lenders before you committed to one.

The cons to having a poor credit score
Lenders use your credit score to judge how likely you are to repay a loan. A poor credit score may mean your loan application is rejected. But that's just the start.

Your credit score is not only checked by lenders — it can be used when you make other financial arrangements, such as renting an apartment or signing up for utilities. In cities where rental companies can be selective about tenants, a bad credit history can make you an unappealing candidate. Bad credit can get you denied for basic services, such as electricity or a cell phone, if your credit report shows that you tend to pay late.

A poor credit score can even cost you a job! Prospective employers may check your credit rating to judge your degree of responsibility.

Many lenders charge different interest rates, depending on the applicant's credit score, so even though you might get approved with a so-so credit score, you may pay a higher interest rate than someone with a better credit score.

Rule 2: Borrow only what you can afford

The concept is simple. Don't borrow more than you need. But how can you know how much is "too much"? Your debt-to-income ratio is the comparison between what you owe and what you earn (every month), and it's a key number lenders use to determine your capacity to borrow additional funds. It's usually a principal component in determining whether a loan application is approved.
