Heat And
Drought
This
summer, thousands of new high temperature records have been set all over the
country, and weather conditions are much drier than normal in most of the
nation.
In
fact, the drought that we are experiencing right now is being called the worst
drought in more than 50 years.

watchers were alarmed that corn rated poor-to-very poor jumped to 38%, versus
30% last week and 11% a year ago.
The
record high for the price of corn is just $7.99 a bushel. Many believe
that the price of corn will soon blow well past that price and could eventually
reach $10 a bushel.
Unfortunately,
there is not much hope on the horizon. It is being projected that these
very hot and very dry conditions will persist well into August.
Wildfires
The
extreme heat has also been responsible for an unusual number of wildfires

these wildfires are part of a rising trend. The truth is that the 6 worst years for wildfires in the

Criminals
are getting bolder and are doing things that we have not seen before.
For
example, on Saturday night a mob of 300 teens invaded a
Wal-Mart in Jacksonville, Florida and went absolutely wild. They
started stealing stuff, breaking stuff and throwing food at each other without
any concern for what the security guards would do.

Anxiety Epidemic
Americans
today are more unhappy and more anxious than ever
before.
The
following is from a recent Business Insider article....
According
to a recent World Health Organization study, 31 percent of Americans are likely
to suffer from an anxiety problem at some point during their lifetimes --
compared to 25.3 percent of those in Colombia, and 24.6 percent in New Zealand,
the countries that rank second and third. You'd think people in developing or
unstable states -- those preoccupied with concerns farther down on the Maslow
Scale -- would be more anxious than we are. Not so. "According to the 2002
World Mental Health Survey, people in developing-world countries such as
Nigeria are up to five times less likely to show clinically significant anxiety
levels than Americans, despite having more basic life-necessities to worry
about," writes Taylor Clark, author of Nerve: Poise
Under Pressure, Serenity Under Stress, and the Brave New Science of Fear and
Cool. "What's more, when these less-anxious developing-world citizens emigrate to the

Obesity Epidemic
Of
all the major industrialized nations, the United States is the most obese, and a recent Gallup survey found that Americans
are more concerned about our obesity epidemic than ever before.
And
nobody can deny that we are getting fatter.
Back
in 1962, only 13 percent of all Americans
were obese.
Today,
approximately 36 percent of all Americans are obese.

This
is the greatest debt in the history of the world and it is beyond criminal that we plan to
pass this debt on to future generations.
Our
greed has destroyed the future for our children and our grandchildren and yet
we continue to borrow trillions more because we just can't help ourselves.
Political Nightmare

top of everything else, we have a horrifying lack of leadership here in

Is
Barack Obama really the best that the Democrats can do?
The
American people elected an incompetent con man to the highest office in the
land. Virtually every decision that he makes is wrong and virtually
everything that he has tried to do while in office has been a failure.
The
Republicans dislike Barack Obama so much that they picked the candidate most like Obama out of the entire Republican
field to go up against Obama.
What
kind of sense does that make?
Is
Mitt Romney really the best that the Republicans can do?
Right
now the best selling point that Republicans have for Romney is this....
"You
better vote for him or you will get another four years of Obama".
But
Mitt Romney … would lead us down the exact same road that Obama has? { Doubtful! }
