Big Brother or our elected Government?

When we give government the power to make medical decisions for us—and force us to vaccinate and medicate our children in the name “health” and “policy” and for “the greater good” we, in essence, accept that the state owns our bodies, and, apparently, our children.Some of the new H1N1 (swine flu) vaccines are going to be made by Novartis. These shots will probably be made in PER.C6 cells (human retina cells) and contain MF59, a potentially debilitating adjuvant. MF-59 is an oil-based adjuvant primarily composed of squalene.All rats injected with squalene (oil) adjuvants developed a disease that left them crippled, dragging their paralyzed hindquarters across their cages. Injected squalene can cause severe arthritis (3 on scale of 4) and severe immune responses, such as autoimmune arthritis and lupus.


Ingredients of this H1N1 flu shot are as follows:

1. Egg proteins: including avian contaminant viruses
2. Gelatin: can cause allergic reactions and anaphylaxis are usually associated withsensitivity to egg or gelatin
3. Polysorbate 80 (Tween80™): can cause severe allergic reactions, includinganaphylaxis. Also associated with inferility in female mice.
4. Formaldehyde: known carcinogen
5. Triton X100: a strong detergent
6. Sucrose: table sugar
7. Resin: known to cause allergic reactions
8. Gentamycin: an antibiotic9. Thimerosal: mercury is still in multidose flu shot vials

You may not be given the choice but if you are, please do not let the government decide for you that your children need these vaccinations. Right now they are saying all school age children should have them. They will be in the form of 4 shots with a check up sometime after the shots. Remember, you are the parent and should have control over your childs life. I don’t know for sure but it has been said that the rise in Autism is due to the vaccinations we have allowed the medical profession to give our children. All I know is that 1 in 67 children are Autistic, 1 in 6 suffers some kind of developmental disorder. In boys the rate of Autism is 1 in 38. If the mercury in the vaccinations is the cause of this, besides the money spent in treating children with Autism (35 billion per year), the precious lives of our children are at stake.


The government can not handle itself yet expects us to believe they know what they are doing. Everything they get involved in they either ends up owning or making a complete mess of it. As far as the poor not having medical care, it seems to me there has been medi-cal programs in effect for many years, we already pay taxes for that. The current government says that people in this country are dying because they don't have medical care. Who are these people? As far as I know even people who are in this country illegally get medical attention. Who pays for that? If it seems that so many people don't have medical care then what will happen when everyone has the same insurance, waiting in line for weeks or months to see the doctors who no matter how they treat a patient, will be getting paid by the government? They will also decide if your medical condition is worth treating. If you are a senior it will be decided if your remaining life is viable enough to give you medical care.

In the new healthcare bill the administration is trying to slide through, is a section on the elderly and dementia. Seniors must submit to "advance care planning consultation" (a.k.a. end-of-life discussions) every five years, or more often if there is "a significant change in the health condition of the individual, including diagnosis of a chronic, progressive, life-limiting disease, a life-threatening or terminal diagnosis or life-threatening injury." Will these consultants advise seniors to hurry up and die because they are costing too much money?
Will someone else decide my Mother is not worth saving because she is elderly and has dementia?

Now as far as the town hall meetings are concerned, all I hear is how the conservatives are disruptive, shouting and loud. Gee, I guess that it did not matter when the liberals in this country did the same thing when they protested against the war in Iraq. We all have the right to stand up, protest or just let our feelings be known.

Now, on the White House blog dated 8/4/09, titled ‘facts are stubborn things’, O’Bama stated:There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to: flag@whitehouse.gov


For all of my friends who feel differently than I, feel free to turn me in as the President has requested. Sound a little like ‘Big Brother’ is watching?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHAEL

Happy Birthday Michael. We love you very much. Thank you for being a great Son.

Wyoming State Prison






























Utah Olympic Park








































Luge


















Downhill Ski Practice






















Beaver, Utah

It seems we have been on the road forever. Some of the big states take a long time to get through. We were in Montana a long time and in Wyoming a long time. There is so much open land in the U.S. that it is hard to believe some say we are over populated. Oh well, I'll save my politics for another blog.

The State Prison is closed now but we took a tour of it. This prison even had a gas chamber (I spared you having to look at it) and I couldn't believe the people on the tour put their kids in the seat and took pictures of them. There is just no figuring some people out. The prison is in Rawlins, Wyoming.

Next we went to Park City, Utah. It is the home of the 2002 olympics. We got to take a tour of the whole thing. They had the opening ceremonies costumes on display, all the pictures of the athletes, and even some of the medals. The luge is really something to see. It is much longer and curvier than I imagined. We also were really surprised to see the athletes practicing downhill skiing. They put on wet suits and get to the top of the track and ski down landing in a swimming pool. We got to watch them for quite a while. They did somersaults into the water. I guess Park City is the place everyone goes to party. It is very upscale.

We came south on 15 because we were going to meet some friends in Zion. It turned out they couldn't come because of truck trouble so we are just going to move on. We are now in Beaver, Utah. We will be here until Sat. and then go to Mesquite, NV. We are slowly making our way back home but not sure when. We are having a great time. The weather right now is thunder, lightening and rain.

Take Care

Happy Campers.

Reindeer

Deadwood, Sturgis, Motorcycles and more Motorcycles

Some pictures of Sturgis and Deadwood. I heard on the news there were 100,000 bikes there, at least. We were surrounded by bikes every where we went. These pictures were taken from the truck since there was no way to find a place to park here. There were all sizes, all shapes and some that didn't even look like a motorcycle. Of course, we picked this Sturgis Rally week to be here.

Just pictures

Crazy Horse

Of course,
Mt. Rushmore




























Flags of every state

There is not much to say about Mt. Rushmore. It has been on my 'bucket list' for years and I was beside myself to see it. It was everything I hoped and more. It was bigger than I had imagined and it was beautiful. I am so happy we went there. The ride up to see it is in the black hills which is also beautiful. The Crazy Horse carving is still being worked on and seems it hasn't gotten very far in the years they have been working. It was also something to see along with the Native American museum next to it.

Montana

Sheridan Inn

The bar

Braqdford Brinton

Memorial Museum

World famous Mint Bar

Going to South Dakota

Sheridan, Montana was a great stop for us. There was lots to see there and we kept ourselves busy looking around. The first stop we made was to the Sheridan Inn. This is a place where Buffalo Bill used to come to drink, eat, sleep and auditioned acts for his Wild West Show. It is a beautiful hotel still in its original state. We had dinner on the huge veranda in front where Buffalo Bill used to sit and look at the acts that auditioned. Inside there are 2 bars that are the original bars. They came from England, a gift from the Queen. They were shipped here in one piece. In those days women were not allowed in the bar(with the exception of those doing a little business), but horses were. Buffalo Bill liked to have the horses come in and rear up. Sometimes their hooves would come down on the bar and put marks in the top. There is said to be a ghost in the hotel by the name of Mary. She rented a room and stayed there for about 40 years until she had to move due to renovations. She died 3 years later, her only wish was that her ashes be put in the wall of her old room at the hotel. They were and she is still there.

Downtown Sheridan has a rope makers store called Kings Ropes. They are known worldwide for their rope making and their saddle making. Beautiful saddles, and a sort of western museum.

Next we went to the Bradford Brinton Memorial Museum. It is a tribute to western art and culture. There is a collection of western art including works by Remington. Alot of Native American artifacts, rare books and documents such as a Lincoln letter and Washington documents. It is all in a wonderful furnished house way out in the country. Got to say at this point, I am westerned out.

Next we went to the Mint Bar. This bar has been around about 100 years. Local ranchers all put their brands on the wall and there is every kind of stuffed animal you can imagine on the walls. Myself, I think it is pretty gross but here in the wild, wild west, it's a normal thing, I guess.

Soon after we are on our way to South Dakota, the main stop for me. Of course, Faber luck, it is rally week at Sturgis which is right where we are going to stay.

So until then, Happy Campers signing off,

David and Carol
