There are actually two messages here.  The 1st is very interesting, but the 2nd is absolutely astounding - and explains a lot.

 

A recent "Investor's Business Daily" article provided very interesting statistics from a survey by the United Nations International Health Organization.

Canada          42%

Percentage of patients diagnosed with diabetes who received treatment within six months:U.S.              93%England        15%
Canada          43%

Percentage of seniors needing hip replacement who received it within six months:U.S.              90%England        15%
Canada          43%

Percentage referred to a medical specialist who see one within one month:U.S.              77%England        40%
Canada          43%

Number of MRI scanners (a prime diagnostic tool) per million people:U.S.              71England        14

The percentage of each past president's cabinet who had worked in the private business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet.  You know what the private business sector is...a real-life business, not a government job.  Here are the percentages.

T. Roosevelt...........38%
Taft.......................40%
Wilson ....................52%
Harding..................49%
Coolidge................. 48%
Hoover ...................42%
F. Roosevelt............50%
Truman..................50%
Eisenhower..............57%
Kennedy................30%
Johnson................47%
Nixon....................53%
Ford.....................42%
Carter....................32%
Reagan.................56%
GH Bush...............51%
Clinton   ...............39%
GW Bush..............55%
And the winner is:
Obama............... 8%

 This helps to explain the incompetence of this administration: only 8% of them have ever worked in private business!
That's right!  Only eight percent---the least, by far, of the last 19 presidents!  And these people are trying to tell our big corporations how to run their business?  They know what's best for GM, Chrysler, Wall Street, and you and me?

How can the president of a major nation and society, the one with the most successful economic system in world history, stand and talk about business when he's never worked for one?  Or about jobs when he has never really had one?  And when it's the same for 92% of his senior staff and closest advisers?  They've spent most of their time in academia, government and/or non-profit jobs or as "community organizers." They should have been in an employment line. So..do you now think we need a change? I'll bet I know what your answer will be.

 Pass this on!   We'll NEVER see these facts in the main-stream media.

Our Upside-Down Country. Each one is frightening!   You know you live in an Upside-down Land if... You can get arrested for expired tags on your car but not for being in the country illegally. ====================== You know you live in an Upside-down Land if... Your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more of our money. ====================== I LOVED THIS ONE. You know you live in an Upside-down Land if... The Supreme Court of the United States can rule that lower courts cannot display the 10 Commandments in their courtroom, while sitting in front of a display of the 10 Commandments. ====================== You know you live in an Upside-down Land if... Children are forcibly removed from parents who appropriately discipline them while children of"underprivileged" drug addicts are left to rot in filth infested cesspools. ====================== You know you live in an Upside-down Land if... Working class Americans pay for their own health care (and the health care of everyone else) whileunmarried women are free to have child after child on the "State's" dime while never being held responsible for their own choices. ====================== You know you live in an Upside-down Land if... Hard work and success are rewarded with higher taxes and government intrusion, while slothful, lazy behavior is rewarded with EBT cards, WIC checks, Medicaid and subsidized housing. ====================== You know you live in an Upside-down Land if... The government's plan for getting people back to work is to provide 99 weeks of unemployment checks (to not work). ====================== I LOVE OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS, TOO You know you live in an Upside-down Land if... Politicians think that stripping away the amendments to the constitution is really protecting the rights of the people. ====================== You know you live in an Upside-down Land if... The rights of the Government come before the rights of the individual. ====================== You know you live in an Upside-down Land if... Parents believe the State is responsible for providing for their children. ====================== You know you live in an Upside-down Land if... You pay your mortgage faithfully, denying yourself the newest big screen TV while your neighbor defaults on his mortgage (while buying iphones, TV's and new cars) and the government forgives his debt and reduces his mortgage (with your tax dollars). ====================== You know you live in an Upside-down Land if... Being stripped of the ability to defend yourself makes you "safe". ====================== LOVED THIS ONE TOO You know you live in an Upside-down Land if... You have to have your parents signature to go on a school field trip but not to get an abortion. ====================== AND THIS ONE You know you live in an Upside-down Land if... An 80 year old woman can be stripped searched by the TSA but a Muslim woman in a burqa is only subject to having her neck and head searched.

Ask Governor Scott to involve the public and private stakeholders to develop a plan to correct Florida’s water quality issues. While freshwater springs are not a major feature of southwest Florida, they do suffer many of the ills as our local waterways – over consumption of water supplies and excessive nutrient pollution.  Springs are also a valuable part of Florida’s economy, tourism and natural beauty and they deserve to be protected.  In the last 10 years, many of the famous freshwater springs and rivers in the central and northern parts of the state have seen a sharp drop-off in flows and a steady rise in algae, including Silver Springs and the Silver River. Please join our Florida Conservation Coalition partners to ask Governor Scott to harness the power of public and private stakeholders and create a plan to correct the issues facing these waterways.  All he needs to do is direct the Department of Economic Opportunity to assess establishing a Resource Planning and Management Committee. Here are two ways to make your voice heard: Use the online petition http://www.change.org/petitions/governor-rick-scott-speak-up-for-silver-springs The other is to print the petition, sign it and mail it in, or print it and take it to a few meetings to have others sign as well. This located at: http://floridaconservationcoalition.org Thank you for joining us and the Florida Conservation Coalition to stand together to restore and protect our freshwater resources all around our state – our economy and quality of life depend on it. Best, Andrew McElwaine President Conservancy of Southwest Florida  

LATEST OPEN-SOURCE CYBERSECURITY SOFTWARE APPROVED FOR GOVERNMENT USE   DHS S&T co-sponsors validation of publically available cryptography software   Washington, DC– The Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) today announced the validation and availability of an open-source cybersecurity tool for securing information shared across the Internet.  Government agencies required to use cryptographic software validated to Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS),  will now have access to Open Secure Socket Layer (OpenSSL v2.0), a free, publicly available security software that meets federal security guidelines.   “OpenSSL is a widely-used component in many software security applications,” said Luke Berndt, DHS Program Manager for the Homeland Open Security Technology (HOST) program. The mission of the HOST program is to identify viable and sustainable open source solutions that support national cybersecurity objectives. “With this program available for government use, the nation’s critical online information will be safer while the government will find greater cost savings.”   The National Institute of Standards and Technology validated the Open SSL using the FIPS 140-2 security standard for testing cryptographic modules.  This validation is required for cryptography used to protect sensitive or valuable data within the federal government.  The validation process was funded by DHS S&T and other government agency and private sector partners.   “DHS S&T’s investment in the validation process for OpenSSL will help government users access the latest security software, and allow software developers to integrate OpenSSL into the products they offer to government clients,” said Berndt. “This collaborative effort is a great example of how government and industry can both benefit from the use of open source software.”   More information about the new FIPS 140-2 validated OpenSSL module is available at http://openssl.org/.
