I ran across this article on CNN website and this is crazy. These kids were allegedly killed by their mother and have been dead so long that their bodies were decomposing. School officials didn’t notice that they weren’t at school? The mother states that they were dead before her power was cut off, which according to the article was back in Sept. There is a lot of questions here.

I am sure you have heard the latest campaign news you must have it ‘s everywhere. Yes, yesterday Hillary Clinton choked up and almost cried. It is the being talked about by every “expert” that the media has available. She has lost, the campaign is over, she’s having a break down because she is losing to Obama. This is so ridiculous, has our country came to the point where it is that bad to show emotion? Even Hillary thinks it’s ridiculous in a direct quote posted by Foxnews.com she states,

“This is so ridiculous,” Clinton told FOX News. “People who followed me during the course of my life know that I’m a passionate person and I care deeply about what happens to people. You know, here I am sitting in an intimate setting, although granted there are a million cameras around, talking to people about what they care about and what’s on their minds and how deeply concerned they are about our country.”

Hillary was speaking passionately from the heart about issues that mean something to her. I would expect that from any candidate that I was voting for, someone real that believes in the same thing I do. One headline I found from the New York Daily News says “Weepfest Won’t Help Hillary” , and MSNBC’s headline reads “Clinton’s Campaign Shows Stress Before Primary”. The big media debate is was this planned or real, did it hurt her chances of winning in New Hampshire. We should be debating about what she said about the issues of our country and how she planned to “rectify” what Bush has done to us.

This is the clip of the now famous “Hillary choke up”

The media is also indicating that Obama has won New Hampshire and the democratic nomination. I even heard one report that if McCain won the republican nomination Obama would become president. I guess everyone forgot that in 1992 Bill Clinton only obtained 3% of the Iowa primary vote and he came in second in New Hampshire, but went on to win the democratic nomination. The race has just begun, the media should be showcasing all of the candidates on their beliefs, their experience, and their plan for our country. Give the American voters truly what we need the right information NOT gossip!

I was reading a story today online that just infuriated me. An inmate from the Pueblo County jail in Denver is suing the former sheriff, the current sheriff, six guards and their supervisors. The suit, which is being filed for an unspecified amount of money claims

Authorities did next to nothing to ensure that the jail was secure and that the Plaintiff could not escape.

The inmate Scott Anthony Gomez, Jr. alleges that guards have sprayed him with pepper spray, shot him with a stun gun, and beaten and kicked him without a reason. Well I’ll give you one …. He escaped with another inmate in November of 2006 and was caught two days later. He also states after climbing out a hole in the ceiling he was seriously injured when he fell 40 feet while trying to scale down the side of the jail. Oh Poor Baby, maybe you should not try to escape from jail where you were put for a reason!

So how in our society can a criminal sue for something as ridiculous as that and we could not sue the negligent people involved with the death of our son. How is that a Great Legal System? This man is a convicted criminal that should take away the right to sue anyone let alone the sheriffs department because your dumb ass escaped from jail. Should we mention the amount of money that it is going to cost the taxpayers for the county to defend this frivolous suit? People like you and I work hard everyday for everything that we have in life, some criminal should not be able to place a bigger burden on society, we already have to pay for his meal, lodging, cable TV, ect. Although the article did not say what Gomez was originally in jail for, if he is trying to escape, numerous times, it must be a serious crime. Remember seeing the days of the gallows, I think that would be cheaper way to take care of the more serious offenders.

I have a major problem with insurance companies in this country. It doesn’t matter what kind of insurance they all have a major racket going on. You never hear of an insurance company that losses money even when they have to pay millions of dollars on a settlement. That should be a big hint right there that something is wrong.

Everyday people that can barely scrape by have to pay large sums of money to insurance companies just in case ”there is an event when you need them”. The problem usually is that when you need them, they either bail and find a loophole or just make it so difficult to obtain the money owed to you.

Health Insurance companies get millions of dollars on a daily basis in just premiums, we should know we pay over $700 a month for our BCBS. The problem is that they keep raising the co pay and decreasing the payable benefits. They deny a health procedure if they deem is unnecessary! Who the hell are they to deny a procedure that your doctor recommends because they do not want to pay for it. A prime example is a young lady named Nataline that was in the news last week because she lost her life due to Cigna’s refusal to pay for a liver transplant. For almost a month doctors tried to appeal to Cigna to change their mind, and a rally of people protested outside of their main headquarters. Cigna did then change their mind and said okay to the procedure, but it was futile Nataline died the next day. Read more here. How do these companies have the right to say what procedures are allowed, if you are sick you should be treated! One more example is that we have someone close to us that is in stage four cancer. After radiation when we ask our family member about getting a new bone scan to see if the cancer has slowed in progress and the response was, the insurance will not authorize another one. Are you kidding me!

Automobile insurance is just as bad, how many of you have paid thousands of dollars into your auto policy and never seen a dime back. Well let me tell you that auto insurance is the biggest crock out there, for one if you don’t have full coverage it never helps you anyway, and if you live in a state like Michigan that has no fault insurance your in even more hot water. For one our wonderful BCBS health insurance will not cover you in an auto accident so we have to pay an extra $400 every six months for health insurance through our auto carrier. For another at the time of our sons accident my husband’s truck had thrown the transmission out and we did not have a running vehicle so to save money we canceled the car insurance until we had it running again. WELL BIGGEST MISTAKE OF OUR LIVES! Who was to know some irresponsible driver was going to kill our son that week. See in Michigan YOU carry the insurance to cover your family in the event of an accident, so when the insurance company “ALLSTATE” contacted us, we were entitled to $1700 and that was it! That did not even put a dent in the funeral expenses, they said since we did not have auto insurance we got nothing! It would have been nice to know that before all this happened. Our question was…Why should our insurance pay for the death of our son, we had nothing to do with, and for another Allstate insured a driver that caused the death of another person why should they not pay for the funeral? So now we are stuck still paying insurance premiums, a huge funeral expense and we do not even have our son. How can society put up with this?

You sit down and add up all your insurance costs and then figure out how much the insurance has actually given back and you will see why they are The Mafia under the radar!

Well it has been less than a week since I posted about the sidewalks, and we have another 10 inches of snow! Still the same businesses refuse to shovel even The Michigan State Police. A trustee of the township board, Mr. Frank Morrison has tried to initiate the clearing of the sidewalks. He brought it up at the board meeting on Tuesday and said the members were concerned. Maybe Mr. Morrison has more pull than I do, but the result is the same…..place a sign in front of the fire department stating that it is the property owner’s responsibility to clear their sidewalks. We have been there done that last year and it resulted in nothing changing!

The Saginaw News ran a story yesterday Lax Property Owners Anger Bridgeport Officials. The problem is that it is angering the township trustees not the township manager!

Frank Morrison and Richard Fisher were quoted saying

We had sidewalks installed (on Dixie) from Kroger to the fire station,” Morrison said. “Now, is anyone going to clean them so people can use them?” A few Dixie property owners have cleared their walks, he said.
The others are creating a hazardous situation for pedestrians and drivers.
“I went out the other morning, and there were a couple of kids walking on the Dixie,” Morrison said.
Trustee Richard Fisher said he saw people walking on Dixie early Tuesday night as well.
“We should either make those property owners comply (with township snow removal ordinances) or we should do it ourselves and charge them before someone gets killed,” Morrison said.

SOMEONE DID GET KILLED….OUR SON!

But then Mr. Richard Dunnill screwed it all up by stating

Township Manager Richard Dunnill said firefighters will post a reminder on the sign outside the fire station, and the township Web site also will have a note reminding residents of their snow removal responsibilities.

Thanks Mr. Dunill that will help!

The local news station also did a piece on the sidewalk issue yesterday and the reminded the community that our son was killed along that section of Dixie Highway because of the sidewalks. Click Here to read the article and view the video. This angered me even more because when I watched the news clip they showed scenes from our son’s accident, scenes in which I had not seen before, it was horrifying.
I just can’t take this government bullshit anymore, at the end of the news clip they stated that it was not likely that the township would issue citations for the defiance of the ordinance! Are you kidding me, they will issue me a citation in the spring if I have a broken down car in my driveway, but not for clearing the sidewalk which kills people!
UNBELIEVABLE!
