Default This is interesting...

Question 1:If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who had 8 kids already, threewho were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally retarded, and she hadsyphilis, would you recommend that she have an abortion?Read the next question before looking at the response for this one.Question 2:It is time to elect a new world leader, and only your vote counts.Here are the facts about the three candidates.Candidate A.Associates with crooked politicians, and consults with astrologist.He's had two mistresses. He also chain smokes and drinks 8 to 10 martinis a day.Candidate B.He was kicked out of office twice, sleeps until noon, used opium incollege and drinks a quart of whiskey every evening.Candidate CHe is a decorated war hero. He's a vegetarian, doesn't smoke, drinksan occasional beer and never cheated on his wife.Which of these candidates would be your choice?Decide first... no peeking, then scroll down for the response.-------------------------------------------------------------Candidate A is Franklin D. Roosevelt.Candidate B is Winston Churchill.Candidate C is Adolph Hitler.And, by the way, on your answer to the abortion question: If you saidYES, you just killed Beethoven.Pretty interesting isn't it? Makes a person think before judging someone.Wait till you see the end of this note! Keep reading...Never be afraid to try something newRemember: Amateurs...built the ark.Professionals...built the TitanicAnd Finally, can you imagine! working for a company that has a littlemore than 500 employees and has the following statistics:* 29 have been accused of spousal abuse* 7 have been arrested for fraud* 19 have been accused of writing bad checks* 117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses* 3 have done time for assault* 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit* 14 have been arrested on drug-related charges* 8 have been arrested for shoplifting* 21 are currently defendants in lawsuits* 84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year...Can you guess which organization this is?Give up yet?It's the 535 members of the United States Congress. The same groupthat crank out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep therest of us in line.

for better view,I attached a word doc below

This is disheartening! We'll soon find out that drunken driving is legal, spousal abuse is ignored..... We need more information before our representatives are elected.

it also amazes me that Hitler had a better track record than FDR and WC.

I don't know if Hitler as married more than once, but he was only married to What's-her-name for a day or so, so if he abused her, it's possible no one knew. And you have to watch out for vegetarians.

I think he killed her or made her commit suicide.

This is one of those "hearsay" things...I was told this by a Texan who years ago lived near Geo. Bush, he was hospitalized in a rehab facility under his mothers maiden name to keep from going to active duty..while he was there his wife, was involved in a hit and run killing a pregnant woman and her other toddler..covered up for the "familys namesake" paid off the family of the dead woman and children...if we only knew the "truth" about all the candidates before we had to vote,,,maybe this would be a better world...but whoever said one could find truth in politics??
