Hello Like Minded friends,
Before I get onto the above topic there are three things I want to mention: Am I being presumptuous in thinking that a blog title, Nice Try, was intended for me, in response to a comment I made, on a blog recently, which was written by a man that I have never met, spoken to, seen a photo of, or received an e-mail from, but for whom I have a great deal of respect, despite the fact that I don't always agree with him?

Secondly I was pleased to read on Yahoo News, about a young man named Paul Burgin from the UK, who decided, with two of his friends and with the support of his family, to go the America and work for Senator Barack H. Obama on his campaign trail, I envy him.

Thirdly, I constantly read on Yahoo News about a a very famous lady Authoress, who has stated that if B.H.O becomes president of America he will be assassinated, because he is black. I believe in the power of affirmations, and that if they are repeated daily, they will happen, and in this case, not always by foreign terrorists. The Media could in part be responsible for an attempt on his life, it must be stopped.

Now to get back to my main topic: Millions of Dollars are being raised and spent on the American Presidential Election, some of which comes out of the private fortunes of the Candidates, which means that the Haves, have more chance of getting into public office, than the Have Not's,In this Election, there is one exception to this, Senator Barack H.Obama who raised almost all his finances from his Supporters country wide, I also understand that both he and his wife receive an income of less than $1,000,000 per year, between them, to cover all their outgoing expenses. What about the others?

How many millionaires are there in the USA, Canada and the UK, how many of them contribute to international charities, which are tax deductible?

But how many of them take the trouble to find individuals, groups and other worthy causes, in their own neighbourhood's, like the homeless, street children and teenagers, pensioners, war veterans and disabled people who are unwanted and uncared for, who cant find a job to enable them to eat and have a roof over their heads, in these so called man made Christian Societies, I do not understand where spirituality has gone.

How Many of these individuals help these unfortunate people without thinking of the Tax Rebate, please let me know of anybody in this category, because they should be congratulated.

This also applies to other income groups, who are willing and able to help those who are less fortunate than themselves, in their own neighbourhood's. Do you fall into any of the above categories, if you do please read and think about this Quote: "Being in the right place at the right time is not the Key. Realizing that you are there and doing something about it, is the Key" Are you in the right place to make these changes in 2008, please wake up to the needs of others, if you are able.

The divide between the Haves, and Have Not's, is growing at a tremendous rate, each year. What are the Haves doing about it? It is public knowledge, for example, that the the big corporations, and the wealthy give large tax deductible amounts, plus smaller gifts from the public, to the worlds big charities and in the end, the Have Not's, sometimes receive as little or less tha 10% of the total contributions, after the buildings, staff and other expenses are paid for. I'm going to take break now Please let me know your views, more later. Sincerely Mike
