Robin Bailey’s

Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson, p. 263-264.
“Not only should we have strong spiritual homes, but we should have strong temporal homes. We should avoid bondage by getting out of debt as soon as we can, pay as we go, and live within our incomes. There is wisdom in having on hand a year’s supply of food, clothing, fuel (if possible), and in being preparing to defend our families and our possessions and to take care of ourselves. I believe a man should prepare for the worst while working for the best.”

This is the third time. This time they were lower and LOUD. It set off a neighbor’s car alarm too!!!

A little over a week ago, the Government “Monetized” their debt. Nobody heard about it because everyone was throwing tomatoes at the AIG executives who received their contractual bonuses.

By the way, governments don’t ever declare bankruptcy because they have their own money system. Instead they just try to ’spend’ their way our by printing more money.

This is a must watch, even if you think Glenn Beck is a Right Wing Fanatic etc….

So why do Mormons build temples?
I really liked the comments from the non-lds religious figures

Why Mormon Build Temples

Inaguration Addresses
Above is a document, I put together, of the inaguration address(es) of every US president.

There are currently only two states that allow no form of concealed firearm carry, Illinois (President’s Home state) and Wisconsin. As a side note, Open (non-concealed) Carry is legal in Wisconsin.
Illinois is currrently debating legislation on allowing CC. We will see how that goes…

So here is my question: “Is the fact that people CAN legally carry a gun Scary or Comforting?”
Would it be more/less scary if the only people who CC’ed a firearm did so illegally?
Here is a really good article about “Blaming the Tool”

Our current President agrees on the dangers of Concealed Carry. (Note, he is not saying it is dangerous, or is he?) Story here. (Note: This is pretty much as anti-gun slant as you get, I think just reading the article will cause kids to shoot themselves)
They cite a large number of crimes commited by CC’ers, maybe lets say 100. Now how many Concealed Firearm Permits have been issued? Utah has issued over 300,000.
With me so far? 300K permits, 100 national crimes…. Now lets pretend that Utah is the only state that issues every CFP. That would still be 1:3000 CFP holders commiting a crime.
On the average, a CFP holder is much more obedient to the law. They (me) have to pass a FBI background check, no felonies, domestic stuff, no psycos, etc, etc…. But, 1:100,000 would still be too high.

A side note, Utah is bragging on how ONLY 1:64 Utah Adults are currently IN the “corrrections system” (This does not mean jail workers, but jail customers and parolees). Nationally the number is 1:31, which is one of your classmates from 2nd grade.

So in Green Jello Utah, only 1:64 adults are convicted criminals, is that Scary or Comforting?

You get rid of the 1:64 and then lets start talking about disarming the rest…. I won’t give up my security, until then is no need for security. I am personally more scared of the 1:60 than the 5% of Utahns with a CFP.

There have been several times I have build something, after having been disassembled my myself mostly, and I have parts left over. Lets see, twice today I have had that happen.
The upside is that you know what the part looks like. So, you don’t have to rebuild a transmission if you have a extra piston in your hand.
Harder yet, is when you have not left over parts and it does not work. Then you have to make sure everything was put together correctly. Did I build it right?
But, the MOST HARD is when there is a part missing, but you don’t know what part or where it goes, or even that there is a missing part. Where do you start.
I had a program giving my serious brain cramps this morning. Turns out I was missing a “return” statement which ends a program function. In turn, the program would execute the open ended function and then execute the next function which undid the first open ended function……
Sorry, in other words, it is hardest to find the stupidest mistakes.
