Being as we have the biggest stock pile of nukes in the world an are the only country to ever nuke someone, I can see why us saying they should not play with uranium does not work well. As long as we have them we have no right to tell others they cant. Not that we have that right anyway.

We need to limit the proliferation. Russia already has nuclear capabilities, so there is no increased danger in letting them handle the situation.

I understand Israel's angst; they have the ability to start a war, but they do not have the capability to carry it to completion. Never start a war you cannot end. And please, do not involve the US.

The US needs to make sure we do not get caught up in another war. Iraq was a piece of cake compared to what a ground war in Iran would be. The country is not flat and easy like Iraq; it is broken up and mountainous.

Unfortunately, it seems the Irani leaders want to attack US bases and ships if war does break out. I do not foresee a happy outcome there.

TexasLisa .... Unable to copy your comment on oven canning . Ive read up on it also & was given recipe by older friend who claimed that is how they have always canned venison ... After getting much feedback from others regarding it , figured the price was too high in risking my familys life to can meats this way . I need to invest in a pressure cooker to can meats & veggies . Fruits, cucumbers- pickles & tomatoes can safely be canned with just hot water bath .

Rebel, serious question and I'm not trying to criticize you. I have seen your posts for several months but you never, ever, put a D on the end of the word "and" it is always "an" Is there a reason for this? You seem to spell mostly fine so I don't think it's your lack of ability.

Luckily, China is holding so much of our currency that they cannot dump it all at once. They have to let it into the market slowly.

The idiots running our banking and treasury systems cannot see light. Times are tough, so they print a lot of money to increase the money supply to stimulate our economy. The treasury sells bonds to the Fed. Interest rates are set so low that it is like giving away the use of the money. Banks take this cheap money and they lend it out to China.

Our government has stimulated the economy -- of China.

Remember B of A loaned its TARP money out to China?

China turns around and buys US companies to gain technology, patents and access to markets. Well, then the manufacturing jobs go overseas, and we are stuck drawing unemployment and food stamps and waiting for jobs that will never come back. Most people don't even realize what has happened.

Worse, China takes this phony money and lends it back to the US public at usurious rates. Remember those horrible rates on credit cards?

HSBC is a Chinese bank created by the union of two Chinese banks that then bought Midland Bank of the UK.

Just because a company has an American sounding name and used to be a US company, that doesn't mean that it is now. If you want to know who really owns the company, just look where the product is made.

I want to share this with my friends, you explain this much better than I can to them. They just don't see any of it.

The countries of Europe and North America have dined splendidly and now cannot cover the bill. The waiter is approaching with the tab, and the kids are still crying for more dessert.

I really dont know. I dont really think I use the word "and" much when talking ether, just "an." The word "and" is only used here when you want to make a point. Like reading the second amendment. Everyone I know reads it "the right to keep an bear arms" but if your talking about the meaning they will say it right with the D sound"The right to keep AND bear arms." I tend to type how I talk. I use to use a lot of words that are normal to me but had other people on the internet lost so I have learned over the years to filter out most of my southern slang when typing.

I also use a lot of words wrong cause it is easier to type with one hand. "There" is easy to type with one hand where "they're" an "their" are not as easy.


Spell check is also my friend. My spelling as always been bad an typing one handed causes lots of typing errors too. So there are a lot of red lines under words for me to click on on most posts.

I have such a deep Texas/Southern accent, that if I typed the way I talk, ALL my words would be pretty much mis-spelled!

I am so much more eloquent when I type than when I speak.

Oven canning will work with tomatoes with the recommended amount if citric acid or lemon juice. The high acidity will keep bacteria at bay.

When looking for a pressure canner for canning, make sure that it is a canner and not a cooker. There is a difference. I picked up a new one last Spring and it worked wonderfully for me.
