Global warming is upon us and we need to be ready to

cope with the effects. Everyone should study up on the symptoms and treatment for

heat exhaustion because it is DEADLY. Summertime is likely to bring us some hot deadly days.

Record breaking heat, like 120 degrees in Phoenix, Palm Springs and Death Valley; experts say, will be the normal by 2050. The extreme heat has already taken the
lives of several people in Arizona. Headlines read, Extreme Heat kills 4 hikers in Arizona. These were folks in their twenties... all these deaths are preventable.

In other news, a plane from Texas was forced to turn back, uncertain of what would happen if it tried to land in 120 degree temperatures in Phoenix.... it is crazy hot out there.

Recently I nearly fainted in 105 degree heat. I was saved because some folks nearby knew what

was happening, they put an ice pack on my neck, put me in a shady place to rest and gave me

water to drink.

Please know the symptoms and treatment for heat exhaustion to protect yourselves and help

others in an emergency.

My experience woke me up to the danger of heat exposure and exhaustion which is in fact DEADLY. So please, everyone, don't underestimate the dangers when record breaking temperatures come your way.. Stay cool, rest in the shade, and drink plenty of water.

Do not underestimate the danger.

Please be safe everyone.

Public Option should be for everyone or forget it

According to some of the flow charts explaining the public option, the
option will only be available for low income families who wouldn't be
able to afford health insurance otherwise. I really don't understand
why the insurance companies oppose this plan. It will not create
competition for them.

I have a friend who has a friend who loves Glenn Beck and wants
her to watch an episode and then have a discussion about it.
I thought I would help her out by doing a little bit of research
to prepare her for the debate. I have never been able to stomach
the man for more than five minutes. So other than what I have learned
from you about his crazies, I don't know what he says on TV,so I went a googling to find out.

Does the Senate's version of the Bailout Bill get the
government into the business of Credit Default Swaps?

Defined by Time CNN - Credit Default Swaps - the Next Crises?

Credit default swaps are insurance-like contracts that promise to cover losses on certain securities in the event of a default. They typically apply to municipal bonds, corporate debt and mortgage securities and are sold by banks, hedge funds and others. The buyer of the credit default insurance pays premiums over a period of time in return for peace of mind, knowing that losses will be covered if a default happens. It's supposed to work similarly to someone taking out home insurance to protect against losses from fire and theft.

Here is a video produced by an educator who
offers knowledge to the world about math for free by
posting educational videos on U Tube. It's called
Khan academy. He has 10 videos
explaining the bailout.
After viewing these, I think I finally understand
and I'm not scared to support a NO on the Paulson
type plans.

I was looking over the Wasilla financial statements
and found some interesting reports.

The City of Wasilla has a budget that is the
size of a small business. So, it's no big deal.

However, Palin tried to make the government as big
as she could considering.

Palin's last year as mayor was 2002.

Take a look at these reports.

Los Angeles makes me believe that burning fossil fuels will destroy the planet. It seems obvious from there.

Maybe if I grew up in Wyoming or Montana, it wouldn't be so obvious.

But I learned to drive in LA and I've always believed this. I never
thought that cars were "neat", not for one minute.

I want to choose which networks appear on my television.

And I just sent that message to congress from here

HearUsNow

It would be great if others would do the same.

What if your cable subscription was like a menu. You could choose which
networks you want. There would be no package that includes 30 channels
that you find obnoxious. No more would you have to support all this
product that you wish would simply go away.

About Vietnam and Iraq,

I expect that if you asked George Bush how long
we should stay in Iraq he would say something like,
until the "job" is done,

being that the lesson from Vietnam was that we
should have stayed on until the job was done, according to
dear leader.

What I wander is - why is Bush comparing Iraq to Vietnam
now? The appropriate year for such a comparison would be
the year 2013.
