NW Okie's Corner

I have a good friend down in Houston, Texas I have reconnected with in the last few years, who has been in remission from Cancer for four years. Ellen, her family, and our family first met in the early 1980's when we were neighbors in Clear Lake City, Texas. Our sons became friends and playmates during that time. Like most friendships over time, you get separated and loose connection, but not forgotten -- only to find each other again thirty some years later.

Anyway, back to the real reason I bring this up Ellen is a freelance writer -- has co-authored Chapter 15 in a book entitled, "Paintamers," available at Barnes & Nobel and Amazon.com. If you get a chance, check it out! If you know of someone in chronic pain, let them know about it. Again the title of the book is "Paintamers" and it is available in paperback. Sadly, though, it is not yet available in the Kindle version. I just purchased my copy from Amazon.com. Pain medicine is a relatively new field of medicine. Although easing pain has been an imperative in medical practice from the beginning of medical care, we know very little.

Trying To Understand Anti-Obama Haters

Why do so many alleged fair-minded Voters in Oklahoma, Kansas, Southern States and other hot-beds of Anti-Obama locales "Loathe" President Obama, and spread their anti-Obama hatred and propaganda? Why do they believe all the absurd falsehoods spread through chain-emails, Facebook and other social networks no matter how preposterous these absurd rumors might be? This puzzles me to no end! Does it puzzle you?

Let us open our minds, uncover our ears and eyes and be honest with ourselves. Can we honestly come to an understanding of what might be at the core of these hateful rantings of "anti-Obamaisms" .... And leave out the hateful remarks?

Some seem to think that President Obama's story does not fit the historic American presidential dialogue or pattern of past norms. Why do people refuse to leave their comfort zones to embrace the changes we have seen in the 21st-Century of the cosmopolitan, internationalized World where different cultures can come together and unite as a family?

President Obama is of mixed heritage. Yes! That is true! We are all of mixed heritage. If you have ever done research on your own genealogy, you can find there are facts to back that theory up. We are all, to some extent, descendants of European ancestry, who crossed an ocean looking for freedom and a better life from persecution. Some of those pioneering ancestors might have Native American (Indian). blood

Through my research I have found many of my ancestry were English, Scots, Irish, Welsh, Bohemians, Dutch, Germans and with a touch of Russia, which is on the maternal lineage of the WALLMAN ancestry). Each escaping their country from persecutions of religion, financial and famines as far back as the 17th and 18th centuries.

Let us open our minds, Uncover our eyes and ears . . . Be honest with ourselves!

Why doesn't Obama's story fit the historic American presidential dialogue pattern of past norms? Why do people refuse to leave their comfort zones to embrace the 21st-Century of this cosmopolitan, internationalized World where different cultures can come together and unite as a family?

FORWARD 2012! VOTE OBAMA & A Congress that believes in America, Senior Citizens, Students, disabled citizens, Veterans and the Working Class!
