Understand The Numbers...Then React!
Don't believe in numbers that someone else makes up!
Before you react, understand what the numbers really mean, just so you don't over react! Sometimes things are not as bad as they seem...and sometimes they are! It's up to us to understand all the figures before we make up our minds.
Here is an example...
A blonde is watching the news with her husband when the newscaster says "Two Brazilian men die in a skydiving accident."
The blonde starts sobbing "That's horrible!!! So many men dying that way!"
Confused, he says, "Yes dear, it is sad, but they were skydiving, and there is always that risk involved."
After a few minutes, the blonde, still sobbing, says, "How many is a Brazillion?"
See what I mean? Don't get upset reading figures and numbers unless you really know what they mean! Better yet, never trust what you hear on the "MEDIA" as the truth!
Be aware, but stay informed...as the old saying goes "Believe nothing that you hear and only half of what you see!"
Now, my friends, let's have some coffee on the patio...

True Then, True Now...!
The year is 1907, a little over one hundred years ago.

Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907.
'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language.. And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.'
Theodore Roosevelt 1907
As I've said before, the Truth is always the Truth! Now, my friend, let's get some fresh coffee and sit on the patio for a while, OK?
