I got this email and I thought it was so true. Nay sayers say what you want to but it is what it is. I voted for him for the stance he takes on the issues, the hope he brings, the true underdog story he has showed us and because he is black
Just because He's Black
A white man asked his black friend, 'Are you voting for Barack Obama just because he's black'? The black man responded by saying, why not? Hell, in this country men are pulled over everyday just because they're black, passed over for promotions just because they're black, considered to be criminals just because they're black, and there are going to be thousands of you who wont be voting for him just because he's black! However, you do not seem to have a problem with that!
This country was built with the sweat and whip off the slaves back, and now a descendent of those same slaves has a chance to lead the same country, where we weren't even considered to be people, Where we weren't allowed to be educated, drink from the same water fountains, eat in the same restaurants, or even vote, so yes, I'm going to vote for him! But it's not just because he's black, but because he is hope, he is change, and he now allows me to understand when my grandson says he wants to be president when he grows up, it is not a fairy tale but a short term goal. Because he sees, understands, and knows, he can achieve, withstand, and do anything just because he's black
With summer here, kids out of school and pools open the risk of drowning has come around again. While watching CNN Newsroom they showed a story about a 10 year old child that drowned about 2 hours after he left the pool. I think there was a trace of water still in his lungs that he must have ingested while in the pool. From what they were saying it seems like he didnt show any signs of problems but he did soil his pants which is pretty unusual for a 10 year old but still it happens (The reporters on CNN says this could have been a sign that oxygen wasn't getting to his brain) and he was able to walk home on his own. So once he reached home he took a nap and his mother found him with blue lips and his tounge sticking out and his cause of death is said to be of dry drowning.
I never heard of this type of drowning before but it is something to be aware of if your child(ren) frequent the pools this summer. I dont have any kids but I dont know what I woud do if this was to happen to one of nieces or nephews
I was looking in the sky and I believe I seen the ISS. Was it flashing? because I seen something speed by the flashing lights and I thought maybe that was it and then I remembered the space shuttle was visible also. Wish i had high power binoculars, but regardless it was very interesting
