BUY YOUR LOVE SOME GROWN IN THE UNITED STATES FLOWERS

Yes it is true. Many of the flowers sold in floral shops in the United States are imported! This may be one of the more difficult products to bust when it comes to finding out where they originate.

NOW TAKE HEART IN THE GREAT STATE OF HAWAII where orchids, bird of paradise, and other more tropical flowers are grown and are flown into the mainland United States...

SO WHAT CAN YOU DO? ASK YOUR FLOREST where the flowers and other items they use such as baskets and vases originate. GO TO THE LOCAL NURSERY where the tags may let you know where the plants have been grown... and buy live plants rather than cut flowers.

Even though their answer may not please you, JUST ASKING LETS THEM KNOW YOU CARE!

WOODY GUTHRIE THIS LAND!

We're STILL AFRAID !

This old poster from WWII reflects the spirit of Patriotic Americans who saw the Nazi threat for what it was. Terror.

We fought in other people's countries to liberate them from this threat. Thousands lost their lives for the ideal that we have the freedom to worship as we please, and that our children never fear the planes flying over their homes would drop bombs on them.

Posters like these today seem so Old School, they depict a way of life that seems to be gone from America. Today street gangs terrorize their own communities.

Did the fear ever really go away?

Today our fears are of terror within our country by those who came to live here but hate us.

As a result, we are living in a culture where every next person is a possible terrorist. We have the experience of BEING CONSIDERED GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT!

Link now to this Internet news story from Bill Riales at WKRG in Mobile, Alabama!

"There is no wheel for steering, and no props. Giant water jet engines propel the craft, while it is controlled through joysticks at the helm. The Commander's conn is an elevated chair with a keyboard and flat-screen panel full of information, from the 42 cameras mounted on board, to engine, weapons control--and email.A ship of this size, more than 400 feet in length, would normally be manned by up to 300 sailors. The Independence is manned by a rotating crew of 40 sailors."
