Shame Dick Gregory


Shame,shame, shame on you. everybody unfortunatly does not have the same lifestyle as others some have moms, dads, and siblings, that was not the case for Richard Gregory. Of most importance he had no dad,but he had love in his heart for Helene Tucker. That seemed to get him through life more than food itself. Each day in school he lived to see only her. He made a way to survive poverty because of her. Washing clothes from a pot was absolutely no pain for him,because he wanted to keep clean for his Helene. Richard never knew anyone cared about him until. The teacher asked every one how much their father would give to the Community Chest. A panic button went off in Richard, because he had no father. He made up a father,using the money he made from selling papers and shinning shoe. Just to keep from being shame in class. All of his effort was useless because he didn't know that the money was being raised for him. You have no father!!! those words stormed at him faster and harder than a bullet.

Article 9 Miami Top City For Weed


Currently, marijuana has four common medical uses: to combat nausea from chemotherapy; to lower eye pressure in patients with glaucoma; to treat Aids-related wasting syndrome in order to stimulate appetite; and to a lesser degree to combat pain and muscle spasms in patients with diseases such as multiple sclerosis. According to the Florida's Domestic Marijuana
Eradication Program in 2006 there was a total of 37,311 plants eradicated in Florida. The issue of Marijuana has long been the center of debate between anti-users and advocated for marijuana. the government seems equally divided. while the health benefits have been acknowledged, there remains a predominant stand against medicinal marijuana. The movement for legalization of marijuana began in the1970s, but it was until 1988 that Francis Young, administrative law judge for the DEA, declared that marijuana in its natural form fulfilled the legal requirement of currently accepted medical use for treatment in the United States. Many believe that using and growing the marijuana is "OK" and takes pride in the fact that Miami is top dog. Many say there's nothing wrong with it because it's from the earth. that a very true statement. There are pros and cons about it. the Pros win for some because people don't die from it. I simply say that it's leads users to want something stronger.

Urban Legend


Creepy,Creepy, folklorists some of which have been made a movie. The one story about a young girl that was babysitting. Received a call, asking her if she checked the children?. The caller was laughing very weirdly. Because she was so scared she ran to check the children. They were asleep in bed. Moments later the phone rang again. The caller asked " Have you checked the children? laughing hysterically. The young girl thought to call the operator to have the calls traced. . When she did the operator called back to inform her that the calls we coming from within the house. So frantically she grabbed the children and ran out of the house just as the police arrived. Sounds a lot like the movie When a stranger calls. Ask yourself the question how could the same thing happen to three different babysitter at three different times. Urban Legend!!

The Yellow Ribbon


Have you ever thought of a yellow ribbon being an "Open Arm" yes signs, symbols and gestures, can be shown in many different ways. I never knew the meaning of the song "Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Old Oak Tree" until I read the story. Vingo spent many years in jail away from his love one and friends. He refused to tell why he was there. Vingo believed the saying "if you can't to the time, don't do the crime.. His only thought was going home to his family. But that was based on one thing. He told his wife if she would take him back, or if he could be apart of her life, to tie a yellow ribbon around the Old oak, if he didn't see it he would stay on the bus and forget about his life with her. To his surprise there was not only one ribbon, but the tree was covered with them. There was no way he could miss her message. Baby come home.

Article 8 Katrina still killing, medical experts say


Storm survivors are dying from both psychological and physical stress from the dust and mold still in dwelling to financial problems to fear of crime, health experts and official say. Old people who are just giving up. There are people who are killing themselves because they feel they can't go on. The city was abandoned after Katrina struck august 29, 2005 and many people did not begin returning until mid 2006. The official death toll in new Orleans stands at about 1,100. State health official said deaths have not been listed as Katrina related since the end of 2005. But Dr.Frank Minyard said he believes the hurricane is still behind many deaths. Many storm- damaged hospitals are not operating fully, and that could help explain why other health facilities are seeing more patients. Another signal is the rise in paid death notices in The Times- Picayune. Stephens analyzed the death notice pattern before and after the storm and said he believes it confirms more local people are dying. His study will be published this month in the Journal of Disaster Medicine and Public Health Medical Preparedness, am American Medical Association's publication.
