| One Congressman's Opinion |
admin writes, "This email was sent to our email address by a northern Michigan resident:
"Please contact your US representative and Senators (even your State rep's etc) to voice your opinions. Your opinions may not be like mine....but you need to be heard. I've spent late nights the past week emailing US & State officials, employee unions and multiple national organizations to one say NO government/taxpayer bailouts for any private corporations and no bail for anyone found acting criminally in this mess. And last I've called for impeachment of Bush/Cheney and administration either now or post election as they desire no futher benefits from taxpayers. PLEASE read our district US representative's reply below. US citizens are being screwed!!!""

| 700 billion and counting bailout |
admin writes, "Dave Goss writes:
Excessive Self-Indulgence
I feel somewhat distressed over the bail-out that we will now be paying for who-knows-how-long. I hope that we, in the “land of the free,” have not become so self-indulgent as to think that the Feds are going to bail us out each and every time we get too greedy. If the majority of us think along those lines- we're doomed. "
We, of the older generations need to get a better perspective on what is happening. It isn't just about us. I'm a baby-boomer. Our age group is probably the richest in history. We all seem to want to live out our lives in comfort. We are the generation that brought us to this point in history. We are so un-involved with other life on this Earth as to the point of thinking that human life is the only life that matters. We have become a country where entitlements are handed out like Halloween candy. Our freedom has taught us that we can have everything we want; even if we don't have the money to purchase what we want; we buy it anyway.
Right here, in this wondrous State of Michigan, during the lumbering era; we clear-cut the entire State of white and yellow pine: leaving nothing for the future. Why are our wants more important than our future?
Come on people. Cut back on your “wants,” we'll have everything we really “need.” Hopefully, there will be life after we have gone. It's up to us to at least help insure that there is a future for our grandchildren. "

| Winter takes it toll on our vehicle |
|
admin writes, "This past winter chewed up and spit out many Michigan roads leaving huge craters in its path. Drive down any secondary road and the jarring bumps will leave your teeth chattering and your spine longing for the heating pad. This winter's result - a hefty quote of $700 bucks for new struts on our Grand Am."

| Traffic light in Bay City |
|
admin writes, "Nightly, at 10 p.m., the traffic light at the Wilder Rd. & State Street Rd. intersection in Bay City changes to a blinking light. To me, this is a dangerous situation and "an accident waiting to happen"."
