Weekly Words of Wisdom

The Victor

If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you like to win but think you can't,
It's almost a cinch you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you're lost.
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow's will.
It's all in the state of mind.
If you think you are outclassed, you are.
You've got to think high to rise.
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win the prize.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man.
But sooner or later, the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can.
- C W Longenecker

Get (and Keep) the Government Out of Healthcare

For a great story on why we need to get the government out of healthcare as it is now, click here.

For some great information on why we do NOT want socialized government-run healthcare, check out the e-mail that my representative, Jack Kingston, sent to me. Most notable and personally relevant to me is that prostate cancer mortality is over 600% higher in Great Britain than in the US. Since my father-in-law is now diagnosed with prostate cancer, I shutter to think what that would mean if we went to a health care system like Great Britain.
