What a great quote,spoken by CNN producer Jomana Karadsheh and quoted by CNN article entailed "Journalist won..." about the journalists freed in Libya:
"On her Facebook page, Karadsheh lists her favorite quote: "Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, champagne in one hand ... strawberries in the other and screaming: 'Woo Hoo! What a ride!' "

Well. this blog and most of my writing is about human life,and preserving it especially for those in the womb. The CNN article is very interesting because it gives a first person account of a hostage situation in Libya where journalists from many places, were held captive for several days by forces in Libya loyal to the regime that was history but they didn't want to admit it. Human life seems most precious sometimes when you are faced with your own mortality as those journalists were; realizing that their lives were hanging in the balance. And I have had several so-close-to-death-by-trauma-experiences that I know that first person realization. In my experiences, I KNEW beyond a shadow of doubt, that it was the supernatural intervention by GOD HIMSELF that saved me. And I am grateful. But in each case, I realized my life was not over yet, that GOD had more for me to do, and so I pray sometimes to know if I am pleasing to GOD; and if not, what should I do differently?
I don"t drink alcohol and don't advise anyone too, because I saw the terrible destruction it causes when I worked in the ER years ago; and I saw the training sessions of how to prioritize trauma injuries, and read the statistics of how many deaths are caused by alcohol; so I am not advocating that part of the quote [about champagne] but the rest of it is a remarkable way of thinking--to think of using one's self up in some cause greater than oneself. Of course, I think journalists do that every day. I admire them greatly, and think the service they do the world is one of the most noble of all causes. I am glad those journalists are alive and at liberty and on their way home to their families. I am also glad for all of them for the role Ms. Karadsheh played in obtaining their release. And I know CNN is very happy, and all of the news agencies whose journalists were held at gunpoint, but are now alive and free. I pray somehow by the grace of GOD, the bloodbath in Libya ends, and peace, stability AND liberty become the new norms there.

Gov't censorship :the next big thing in US?
There are 2 articles in today's news that are clearly making the point that the US is beginning to overtly censor the citizens' speech via the internet and via cell phones. I am including quotes from those. Censorship until Obama became President was not acceptable to the US because of the First Amendment. Why would it be now? Read articles included as links please.

"Shutting down social media is not the right choice, unless the government’s aim is to reinforce its already Draconian presence." ..."Worse still, it gives the impression that a government is willing to impede the communication of its entire populace in order to hinder the efforts of a select few." from article "Why blocking social media ...'

http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2011/08/protect-ip-act-would-cost-taxpayers-47-million-private-sector-much-more.ars/
with quotes:
"The Congressional Budget Office has released a new estimate of the cost of the PROTECT IP Act, the controversial legislation to force private ISPs, search engines, and other parties to censor websites accused of facilitating copyright infringement." +
..."We've never had the kind of large-scale Internet censorship infrastructure mandated by the PROTECT IP Act, so it's hard to predict how much it would cost private ISPs, search engines, and credit card networks to comply. But maintaining, updating, and enforcing blacklists could be expensive, and these costs would be multiplied across hundreds, if not thousands, of private firms."
I suspect this sort of event is precisely because of Obama's need to control/manipulate/usurp. Remember when he was first elected how he gave THE PRESS specific questions he wanted them to ask him? And remember how CNN.com reported that he planned to attack every government's computer, every private, and public computer , every hosting companies' computers and every business/corporate computer to get control of it? Don't be deceived by him. He is evil as defined by GOD because he championed sodomy that GOD called abomination in Leviticus 18:22; and because he has laid a plan to depopulate the nation by killing the unborn/preborn.
This blog started as a prolife blog and this issue is relevant because to publish the PROLIFE news involves overcoming illegal censorship by Obama and pervert segments of the nation.

Logged back in to add what I meant to include as more evidence of Obama administration censoring/controlling speech:
According to the BBC earlier today, the SEC on Obama's watch destroyed 9,000 files of citizen complaints about Bernie Madoff, Goldman Sachs, Lehman Bothers, AIG, Wells Fargo.,Bank of America, Deustche Bank, and SAC. That is typical for those in power who want a totalitarian government --they silence citizens' protest. But it was not acceptable in the US before, and with this post, I am saying it is not acceptable now either. Gloria Poole; @1:07pm;19-Aug-2011

Life is good; vote PROLIFE only please
This is a reminder that in the coming election for President [and all elections at same time] it is imperative that the prolifers outnumber-out-vote the proaborts. Remember the proaborts are going to self-extinquish or annihilate themselves by not having children, so they must not win. Their plan is to depopulate and therefore ruin the U S.
If you don't know why then you need to think. A nation that has no future generations coming along, has no future. It ceases to have a workforce to pay in taxes and the government becomes no-functioning. Isn't that what is already happening in in the US? And I admit, that for Congress and the federal bureaucracy of an all-encompassing government to die/cease to exist could be a good thing for the nation, as the people lose confidence in it, and begin to realize that there is ONLY ONE GOD [see John 10:10,KJV] and HE does not live in the White House or halls of Congress.
Also please website http://www.home.earthlink.net/~life-is-good/ for some good things in life that will help you hopefully remember some good times in your life too.
Also, remember these scriptures" "Thou shalt not kill" Exodus 20:13,KJV;
"Open thy mouth for the dumb [traditionally meant those not capable of speech] in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction". Proverbs 31:8,KJV; and many many more scriptures about life in the King James Holy Bible.
