Enough Is Too Much! Why Are Young People Shooting Each Other?

Murdered Man Studied At NJCU, Was Preparing For Navy
Saturday, September 11, 2010
By MICHAELANGELO CONTE
JOURNAL STAFF WRITER
http://www.nj.com/news/jjournal/index.ssf?/base/news-5/1284186361153980.xml&coll=3

Every time I read the Jersey Journal I just get angrier and angrier at the Stupidity that's going on out there on the streets!

I'm Calling On All Who Have The Power, Turn This Trend Around immediately!

Like Role Models. Reverend Jackson, Reverend Sharpton, Sports And Media Stars, etc.
Tell The Young People The Truth!
Tell Them Plymouth Rock Isn't Just Landing On Them, They're hitting each other over the head with it!

We All Need To Stand Up And Reach Out To And Teach
what's right for the benefit of today's young people.
I know Rev. Jackson and Sharpton you've spent a lifetime doing this, but some of the Media is a really bad influence!
It was in my day and it still is!



This Is The Time For A New Revamping Of
"People Empowerment"!
Give these young people the resources to understand that they are killing each other and themselves, for nothing, chump change!

Music and Media stars. Don't make movies and music that belittles yourselves, and sends an absolutely wrong message to young people!
Make Movies And Music That Are Educational.
They can still spread the message of what goes on without graphic language. etc!

Money, gold jewelry, big houses and cars are not all that!
All that glitters may be gold, but gold is heavy!

Stay away from the meth amphetamine especially!
This is not a drug!
It's Poison


I Really Love You All!
You Are Like My Own Children Or Grandchildren.
My heart goes out to the young people, throwing their lives away, for No Reason!
I was a teenager in the sixties.
Been There, Done That!

This Is The Song That First Enlightened Me To The Fact That Others Were Less Fortunate Than I.
Yes, I Did Make This Pact With Michael Jackson,
Way Back in 67' (aprox.)
When He First Sang It.
Everyone Loved Michael, So Talented!

President Obama To Make PTSD Claims More Just

IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Vietnam Veterans of America
Press Release July 19, 2010
Contact
Mokie Porter
301-585-4000, Ext. 146

Vietnam Veterans of America Praises President, Salutes Secretary Shinseki For Move to Make PTSD Claims More Just
(I'm on their email list).

Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA) thanks President Obama and salutes Secretary of Veterans Affairs Shinseki for the regulatory move to make the claims process less onerous for certain veterans who have legitimate claims for service connection for Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), but who have difficulty obtaining documentary evidence.

"This will make it possible for some veterans who have been unjustly denied, because they could not document the details of the stressors that caused them to have chronic acute PTSD, to finally succeed in getting justice and their claim approved," said John Rowan, VVA national president. "This regulatory amendment will make it easier for veterans to prevail regarding their claim for PTSD where their claimed stressor is related to legitimate fear of hostile military forces or terrorist activity and is consistent with their military service." A psychiatric wound is every bit as real as a gunshot wound, and this President and his team are now taking steps to
recognize this fact.

"While VVA is strongly supportive of these new regulations, we urge Secretary Shinseki to reconsider the decision that only a VA or VA-contracted psychologist or psychiatrist can make the diagnosis of PTSD," Rowan said. "At the same time that the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is moving to accept medical evidence from non-VA clinicians for disability claims for physical injuries, there should be no separate set of rules for diagnosing mental wounds like PTSD."

"We strongly believe that all psychologists and psychiatrists, VA or non-VA, who conduct PTSD examinations, should be required to use the best medical science known," Rowan said. "This diagnosis can be both objective and accurate, but only if the protocols recommended by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) of the National Academies of Science (NAS) are rigorously followed. Both VA and the Department of Defense should be ensuring that our active-duty war fighters, and our veterans of every generation, have the best care that medical science can provide, beginning with getting the diagnosis right."

"The previous Administration refused to implement the best medical science in assessing PTSD, because they said it was 'too expensive,' " Rowan said. "With the VA having recently hired almost 4,000 additional clinicians to provide mental health care to veterans suffering from their wartime experiences, the VA has no excuse why the best practices, recommended in their own VA commissioned study by the IOM, can't be followed. They need to get it right the first time."

I Don't complain, (About him at least).
I'm sure you know, he's done very well!
I'm sure you've heard.
Those bastard bar owners were gonna turn him into their slave.
Make him a drunk, marry him off to one of their relatives; and get him a job like iron working; or boiler making, and insure him heavily!

I told them, My People Don't Do That Kind Of Work Anymore!

Like I Told Leck, Joe's a lot of work,
but he's worth it.
One or Two or a couple of a kind!
Not many like you guys, out there!

And he's still chasing me!
You'll hear news soon, I googled your phone number.
