Life Tango - (Jun 16 2007)



I've
checked out another site for goals and I have to say Lifetango.com is
the best. Especially when it comes to the community and
encouragement. sup er viva is complicated and cold in my opinion. It
reminds me of when people join little closed minded clicks and do
things just to please those within it exclusively without regard for
others. I'm sure that is not true with all, but just in my findings.



Anyways,
This is a great site that I can't wait to spread the word about and I
appreciate all the encouragement I've received here. I hope I can help
others along the way as well.



Good luck to everyone in reaching their goals and finding new ones!

Dangerous Sippy Cup

I'm all for safety, truly I am. Priorities are a tad off it seems, however. The following is an article posted on Boing Boing







TSA detains woman over infant's sippy cup -- I feel safer!

Jordan says: "This one just made my blood boil: a mom was bullied by a gaggle of security officers at Dulles Airport in Washington, D.C. over the water in her 19-month-old son's sippy cup. The story starts out sort of funny, with the sippy cup being seen as some sort of deadly weapon, but quickly spirals into nightmare territory. This is a national embarassment; I feel more threatened by these uniformed goons than I do by terrorists, and I lived in NYC during 9/11."
200706141151"I demanded to speak to a TSA [Transportation Security Administration] supervisor who asked me if the water in the sippy cup was 'nursery water or other bottled water.' I explained that the sippy cup water was filtered tap water. The sippy cup was seized as my son was pointing and crying for his cup. I asked if I could drink the water to get the cup back, and was advised that I would have to leave security and come back through with an empty cup in order to retain the cup. As I was escorted out of security by TSA and a police officer, I unscrewed the cup to drink the water, which accidentally spilled because I was so upset with the situation.

"At this point, I was detained against my will by the police officer and threatened to be arrested for endangering other passengers with the spilled 3 to 4 ounces of water. I was ordered to clean the water, so I got on my hands and knees while my son sat in his stroller with no shoes on since they were also screened and I had no time to put them back on his feet.

"I was ordered to apologize for the spilled water, and again threatened arrest. I was threatened several times with arrest while detained, and while three other police officers were called to the scene of the mother with the 19 month old. A total of four police officers and three TSA officers reported to the scene where I was being held against my will. I was also told that I should not disrespect the officer and could be arrested for this too. I apologized to the officer and she continued to detain me despite me telling her that I would miss my flight. The officer advised me that I should have thought about this before I 'intentionally spilled the water!'"

(Sidenote: WTF is Nursery Water? It's a brand of fluoridated water for babies. The American Dental Association has asked WalMart to stop selling it. "According to the ADA, consumption of fluoridated water puts a baby at high risk for dental fluorosis -- a defect of teeth that causes staining and sometimes corrosion of the enamel.")

I just took action to end the brutal slaughter of Alaska's wolves through

aerial gunning at http://www.SaveWolves.org, and I hope you'll join me.

More than 150 wolves have already been shot dead under the state's brutal

aerial gunning program so far this year. The Alaska Board of Game allows

marksmen shoot wolves from aircraft, or use low-flying airplanes to chase

the wolves, run the helpless creatures to exhaustion, then gun them down

at point-blank range once they're too tired to run any further.

So far, the Bush administration has refused to use its power to stop the

slaughter of these magnificent animals.

We must stop the slaughter of Alaska's wolves. Help me protect these

magnificent creatures by clicking the link below to send a free message to

President Bush and Interior Secretary Kempthorne urging them to enforce

the Federal Airborne Hunting Act before it's too late for Alaska's wolves.

Please go to http://www.SaveWolves.org to take action now.

Then forward this message to your friends and family and ask them to join

you.

Thanks for helping to protect our precious wolves.
