AFRICA THEY NEVER SHOW YOU

When I think of Africa the first thing that comes to mind is Jungle, Lions, Apes, Hippos, and Hyenas.   These photos show you a whole new Africa.  Be sure to read the last two paragraphs at the end of the photos which I think are indeed pertinent.  Very interesting….

Yes, we actually enjoy ourselves on the weekends... but the media misconceptions would

have you believe we all languish in poverty (LOL)

Surprising, modern and upscale isn't it... so how do you like the real Africa now? And why aren't their rich helping their poor, instead of us?   Tell me again - how much foreign aid goes into these countries?

Consistent unflattering media portrayals would have you to believe something entirely different, e.g., Africa is still some kind of wild, savage, and untamed jungle.   I wonder why that is?

Have you seen the pics of the life styles in Saudi Arabia and Dubai ?   I'm beginning to believe that the U.S.A. is truly the 3rd World Country and that we should stop sending my tax dollars overseas to anyone.    I'm also convinced that the people in our government and in the media as well as George Soros, Ben Bernanke, and, Oh yes, Obama know that WE are the third world and the most naive, gullible, and stupid people in it.   The big cities all over the world make Las Vegas look like a State Fair or a country carnival.

And that folks is where your money ends up going!!!!!!!

ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL

ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL

 

This is a sight you have probably never seen. This is a rare and beautiful memorial to our veterans who were killed in the Vietnam War. It hangs in the National Veteran's Art Museum in Chicago, Illinois.

 





Did not know this existed?

When visitors first enter the museum, they will hear a sound like wind chimes coming from above them and their attention will be drawn upward 24 feet to the ceiling of the two-story high atrium.

Dog tags of the more than 58,000 service men and women who died in the Vietnam War hang from the ceiling of the National Vietnam Veterans Art Museum in Chicago on Veterans Day, November 11, 2010. The 10-by-40-foot sculpture, entitled Above and Beyond, was designed by Ned Broderick and Richard Stein.

The tens of thousands of metal dog tags are suspended 24 feet in the air, 1 inch apart, from fine lines that allow them to move and chime with shifting air currents. Museum employees using a kiosk and laser pointer help visitors locate the exact dog tag with the imprinted name of their lost friend or relative.

Apparently the incompetent idiots at @masslivenews can't think reasonably. How can someone (my Dad) have been 88 years old and been born March 1, 2013? This passes for responsible journalism?

Apparently the incompetent idiots at @masslivenews can’t think reasonably. How can someone (my Dad) have been 88 years old and been born March 1, 2013? This passes for responsible journalism? Whereas, @masslivenews charges for these announcements, I would expect them to at least issue a refund. Will they do that or just be complete morons?
