Who said, "Give me liberty or give me death." NO ONE ever spoke those words; they were written into the mouth of Patrick Henry by William Wirt in his book, Sketches of the Life and Character of Patrick Henry. Thomas Jefferson, a friend of Wirt, considered the book a work of fiction.

@Hughcpa, you seem quite certain that Henry never uttered those words.
Interesting reference to Wirt. The Liberty or Death speach was popularized by William Wirt - who, as you mentioned, wrote a biography of Henry in 1817. It is not known if minutes were taken at this convention or if Henry spoke from prepared notes. How, then, did Wirt reconstruct the content and style of the speaches attributed to Henry, or were his writings, as you have strongly claimed, works of fiction?
One way he did so was by corresponding with people who remembered Henry and who were there during these events. Thomas Jefferson was one such correspondent, and many of the letters between Jefferson and Wirt have been preserved. About Henry, Jefferson said that he "through a long and active life had been the idol of his country beyond any man who ever lived." Another correspondent was a Judge Winston, who had married Henry's widow. Wirt also obtained information about Henry from newspapers (from 1763 on) and court documents.
Patrick Henry was much more than a spirited orator. Here's a guy who became a lawyer at 24 and within a couple years had successfully argued one of the most notable case in the state of the era (the Parson's Cause). At the age of 28 was arguing the case for expanded sufferage before the Virginia House of Burgesses. At the age of 29 was one of the very few non-aristocrats elected to the Virginia House of Burgesses and, and a freshman member, immediately led the successful Stamp Act resistance in that body. By age 40 he was the Colony's first non royal appointed governor.
Then again, as we examine history, how many accounts are truly accurate? Did Paul Revere's midnight ride occur as we have leaned?
Hugh, enjoy your weekend. I hope that we all can agree that great sacrifices were made for this land.

We do have taxation without representation today. A legal alien, for example,
that has a work US visa pays taxes, but does not get to vote.
We have a nominal representation for those who are US citizens. Sure if you do not like a certain tax or how your taxes are spent you could write to your representative. He will send you a letter of response saying he feels for you, but even if he has the best of intentions he alone cannot do much about it. With the technology available to us today I think we can do better than that. Those who pay taxes should be able to have a more direct say in how the money is spent. At least part of the federal and state budget could be voted on online with the vote limited to those who actually pay the taxes that go into those budgets.

I loved this quiz, but then I love America and its rich history in the founding
of our country. I only missed five of these questions.
I also highly recommend the film, "America, Imagine Life Without Her" now showing in theaters across the country. I have seen it twice now. It's an outstanding documentary!
God Bless America! May we be a more informed citizenry,

God is mentioned throughout the quotes from our Founding Fathers, and how the
Colonies would have to rely on Him to overcome such a formidable foe as their
British oppressors to establish themselves independent, free above all other
nations. I don't hear our current "leaders" ever mention our
continued reliance on that same Being to help us remain free. Why not? Is it
not politicly correct? Are we afraid of offending someone? is there any wonder
why we are abdicating our rights to an ideology that our Founders shunned and
were willing to risk their lives to free themselves from, all in the name of
equality and antiracism?
I question if the United States of America would have been founded under our current state of affairs and way of thinking. Thomas Jefferson, "God who gave us life, gave us liberty. And, can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are a gift from God, and that they are not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed, I tremble for my country when i reflect that God is just, and that His justice cannot sleep foreve.?

@ Sasha Pachev ... We also have representation without taxation!
There are many that receive more compensation from City, County, State & Federal Governments than they ever will be taxed, but they make sure to vote in those that keep the 'Dole' happening!

It takes a village to expand jobs. One person by them selves cannot obtain Synergy. This power takes place when people of different talents work together, playing their parts where they have strength. Most businesses end in one year due to only one person is trying to do all positions; Including marketing, accounting, engineering, manufacturing, personnel, legal, etc.; though, if you were to organize all these people at the start of a company; Synergy will take place, if done right, the company is multiple times more likely to succeed. Look at the chemistry of successful sports teams - it's amazing. The same can be said of the beginning of our great nation. The individual Founding Fathers had different skills, whether you are talking about George Washington, John Adams, and Benjamin Franklin, (Google their talents.) They played their parts that led to the US Constitution, among other things by the power of Synergy. For America to Succeed businesses must succeed and the way to do this is though the power of Synergy. We must get together and play our parts. Then America wins! Pass it on...

"On April 19, 1775, British forces were sent to arrest Samuel Adams and John Hancock and to seize military stores being kept in Concord, Mass. Minutemen and colonists, warned by Paul Revere, William Dawes and Samuel Prescott, gathered on the Lexington Green to meet the British. A fight broke out between the 700 British troops and the 77 colonists, and it remains unclear to this day who fired what is considered the first shot of the American Revolution." What would have happened to our future as a nation if we would have had "gun control". How can we even accept such absurdity? This, and other like-minded Presidents are a mockery to the Constitution and our freedoms.

Yes, some founding fathers believed in a Deity. And some didn't. And collectively they wrote in the Constitution that the government would not give a preference to one belief over another, which includes a belief in the non-existence of any god at all.
Whichever political leaders you are referring to may not believe that they need to rely on God. That is their right. If you have a problem with that, you might want to find a country that is run as a theocracy. Iran and Saudi Arabia and Vatican City would qualify.

Common sense goes a long way, unless it's political. As a 90-year-old disabled World War II and Korean War veteran, I was shocked to learn the large number of people of average intelligence who lack common sense.
The health care reform is being written by a committee whose head says he doesn't understand it; Congress is trying to pass it while its members haven't read it; it would be signed by a president who says he has read it; and would be funded by a Treasury Department run by someone who didn't pay his taxes.
Good luck.

Small businesses are normally privately owned corporations, partnerships, or sole proprietorships. What businesses are defined as "small" in terms of government support and tax policy varies depending on the country and industry.
As the borrower may violate the terms of the contract, they know everything. If the property was bequeathed to minors, the decision will be for them to take the parents or official guardians. After 14 to 18 years and the decision on acceptance of the inheritance and, accordingly, obligations for the payment of the loan, the heir will be considered together with the guardians. Thus, both the lender and the prospective buyer of country property can be fully confident in the cleanliness of the documents on the lot under construction. The only problem may occur if you want to refinance a mortgage.
However, should not be confused incomplete payment of borrowed funds with a single payment, which is still practiced by some banks. Additionally, if the dawn of the Russian lending financial institution demanded payment of the potential borrower even when obtaining commercial loans initial contributions, to date, this nuance will be relevant only when taking out a mortgage and car loan, and even then not in all cases. In General, termination of contract by the borrower, the procedure is quite complicated, the success of such initiatives rarely end. If several heirs, the debt they will pay together, in proportion to the inherited property. For example, the amount of this payment of 10%.

Thats is one of the most dangerous places to cross freely and unconcerned any street
Its just a preferences game .. you must know that, pedestrians are on the bottom meanwhile "colectivos" (buses), trucks and cars are on the highest positions once you have to adventure to cross the street... be carefull because they dont use to stop the car letting u to cross because thousand of cars behind him will start to buzz their car horn !!!
Trains are the worst transport you find there... it is unsafe and some parts of the city extremelly risky if you are foreigner and much more if "locals" realize that !!
A lot of local histories about barbarities commited on trains.. where its so easy to be robbed
So take long-distances coaches avoiding trains
You dont realize in some parts of this world that a milion of eyes are over you.. normally you can show your ipod or your cell phone without risking it to be robbed.. Buenos Aires is other stuff.. try to hide it because this is so much money for petty thiefs and it worth to keep it for yourself .... Really my argentinians friends told me so seriously about that.. at every moment on the subway on the bus someone is looking on you !!
I was so lucky last march when i was there.. i could behold as Buenos Aires inhabitants gather together in the streets demanding justice and freedom for the new years never forgetting the Videla Coup against the democracy promoted by United States (CIA) trying to erase the left-wingers from Argentinian rule .. it were several years bowed to the yoke of fascists and capitalists and the cruel army killing their habitants !!
Argentinians are really well-known for regular demonstrations for everything .. some peacefull and others more violents...
Do you ever heard about " Piqueteros " forget all good opinion about them ..or dont look them with a kind eyes... that "rabble" are pro's in order to bombing everything they can ..yeah like mercenary wrapped up with sky mask or other stuff to dont be recognized .. their task ..buff avoid that people go to their jobs or other unpopular actions ***ing their neighbourghs... its any other job for them !!
People from everywhere assemble in Plaza de la Republica beneath the obelisc to progress through the streets and gather together with other people assemble in other points becoming a popular mass
I saw a lot of foreigners so impressed looking and shooting their cameras menawhile locals mobilize themselves from the most youngers to elder people demanding freedom and stop to the regular argentinian politics impunity
The most dangerous place in Bs As Outskirts are Las Villas .... this is the name for those unhealty villages where survuve in dirty and poor resources the people who have nothing more than a carton shack and no tap water or light are provided
These are the places with more criminality tax and never never stop your car in front of it ...doesnt mind if its brokendown ..try to get out as fast as you can because there isnt any chance to get out safe and free from there !! its real locals told me about several times ..
These Villas are in the Outskirts . for exemple the main route from Avellaneda to Quilmes there are a couple i could see from the local bus and believe it scary to anyone !! ...there are others i could see on the route to the airport from there to home in Bs As
BAR la PERLA
Be aware on LA BOCA ...specially here in Bar LA PERLA ...we sat down in the terrace to drink some beers (3). There wasnt the menu but why if we know what we want....we expected to pay 5 pesos each as max because its a tourit area...well after we drank it we order the bill and the waitress shouted 30 !! ...30 what we replied ...30 pesos she said !! it was amazing a real swindle !!! Argentinians with 30 pesos could make miracles !!!! we ask for the boss and a bully vodyguard go out from inside trying to calm down our angry...we had to pay finally but we ask to the police who said that it was an usual treat in that bar and we could go to the customer office in the city center ....obviously we did it and now an inspector will go there to see what ***ty things are doing !!
So NEVER NEVER go there ...its in a corner just in front of the harbour and closer to caminito

NEW YORK � Lululemon has yanked its popular black yoga pants from store shelves and online after it found that the sheer material used was revealing too much of its loyal customers.
The see-through yoga garb is the latest in a series of quality glitches that threaten to alienate the retailer�s hardcore fan base, which has so far been more than willing to pay $100 for pants and other athletic garments. These legions of followers have helped Lululemon, founded in 1998, become a billion dollar business.
Eva Glettner, 33, of Los Angeles is a case in point. Glettner, who has been a devoted fan of Lululemon, said she�ll now shop only at Target to buy her yoga outfits.
�You expect a certain quality, and they definitely let me down,� Glettner said. �For that price point, it�s unacceptable.�
Glettner says Target has similar pants for $30. �It�s hard enough making a commitment to working out without worrying about whether you are baring your behind.�
Lululemon Athletica Inc. said on its website that it first began to understand the extent of the problem March 11 as part of its weekly call with store managers, who voiced worries about sheerness. Lululemon declined to respond to Associated Press queries about whether the problem was discovered when customers started to return the Luon pants, the latest batch of which went on sale at the beginning of the month.
But Faye Landes, an analyst at Cowen & Co., believes customers reported the problem to store managers, who in turn reported back to management.
�If this is indeed the case, we suspect a serious lapse in (the company�s) supply chain, quality control and vendor management and specifically in its quality assurance program,� she said.
Lululemon insists that it hadn�t changed the specifications for the clothing or switched suppliers, but is warning that the recall could lead to short supplies and will hurt its first-quarter revenue. The Luon pants, made from a combination of nylon and Lycra fibers, are one of the retailer�s product staples and account for about 17 percent of all women�s pants in its stores. The company is offering customers� full refunds or exchanges.
The debacle marks the fourth quality problem in the last year for Lululemon, according to Credit Suisse analyst Christian Buss � and not the first see-through issue.
First, the Vancouver-based company had sheerness problems with certain swimsuits for spring 2012. And some light-colored pants currently on sale carry this disclaimer: �You may experience sheerness with some of our bright coloured bottoms because of the lightweight nature of the fabric. We recommend you do a couple of Down Dogs in your brightly coloured bottoms to ensure you�re happy with the fit and coverage.� �Down Dogs� refers to a yoga position. The company also has had problems with bright dyes bleeding.
Investors usually like transparency, but in this case they�re the exception. Lululemon�s stock price dropped nearly 3 percent in trading Tuesday to $64.08. The stock is down 16 percent in the year to date while the broader markets have been hitting multiyear highs.
Until now, Lululemon has been as much a star for investors as it has for yoga devotees. Its shares rocketed from less than $3 in 2009, to around $65 this year. Analysts expect to get more details when Lululemon posts earnings for the final quarter and full fiscal year on Thursday. But already some Wall Street analysts have downgraded the stock.
�We see some potential that (Lululemon) risks alienating its core customer bases should quality control issues persist,� Buss wrote in her note. Based on her own research, Buss said the Luon fabric is sourced from a Taiwanese manufacturer.
Lululemon confirmed through an outside publicist that its sourcing manager for raw materials is at the facilities of the supplier, Taiwan-based Eclat Textile Co.
Still, some marketing experts dismissed the debacle as a temporary glitch and said Lululemon�s loyal customers won�t switch to rivals such as Nike Inc. or Champion anytime soon.
�It�s a late-night TV joke, and it�s going to pass,� said Robert Passikoff, president of Brand Keys Inc., a New York customer research firm. �The issue is closure, contrition and care. Clearly, they�re doing everything they need to do.�
Lululemon cut its first-quarter revenue forecast as a result of its decision to withdraw the pants. The company now anticipates first-quarter revenue between $333 million and $343 million, down from an earlier estimate of $350 million to $355 million. Analysts polled by FactSet had previously forecast revenue of $352.1 million.
The company also slashed its outlook for first-quarter revenue growth at stores open at least a year to between 5 percent and 8 percent, from 11 percent previously.

Flu Fascism: 150 Healthcare Workers Fired for Refusing Flu ShotGreen Living, Healthy Living, Vaccination
Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be
cowboys healthcare workers!
TriHealth, one of the largest employers in the Cincinnati, Ohio metro area, has confirmed the firing of 150 of its nearly 11,000 employees in recent days for refusing this year's flu shot.
The deadline for employees to receive the flu vaccine was November 16, 2012. Employees who did not comply with the company's directive were terminated Wednesday, November 21, 2012 according to a TriHealth spokesperson.
TriHealth's excuse for its flu fascist policies?
The shots were offered for free!
What a deal!
Ladies and gentlemen, listen up: TriHealth cares so much for the wellness of its employees that it is paying for their flu shots out of its own pocket this year! This selfless, corporate act made out of true compassion and concern for its employees' health comes complete with the following ingredients (from Mercola.com) :
- Aluminum — a neurotoxin that has been linked to Alzheimer's disease
- Mercury – a neurotoxin that has no allowable safety limit according to the EPA
- Triton X-100 — a detergent
- Phenol (carbolic acid)
- Ethylene glycol (antifreeze)
- Betapropiolactone – a disinfectant
- Nonoxynol – used to kill or stop growth of STDs
- Octoxinol 9 – a vaginal spermicide
- Sodium phosphate
In addition, this year's flu shot also contains the Swine Flu vax which has been shown to increase the risk of fetal death by miscarriage or stillbirth by over 10 times if the person receiving the flu vaccination is pregnant!
Could it be that the company's real motive for requiring the flu shot replete with these toxic ingredients is to help ensure that TriHealth's employees will never be healthy or work long enough to collect that TriHealth pension or promised retirement benefits? Come to think of it, most employees probably won't even be around long enough to fully vest those 401(k) matching funds!
Now there's a company commitment to its employees that is worth its weight in, uh aluminum, don't you think?
The Rise of Flu Fascism
Since when did conditions of employment include the right of the employer to control the employee's physical person and demand injection of known EPA toxins directly into an employee's bodily tissues?
Sounds a lot like slavery to me. Will TriHealth be requiring their employees to be branded with the company logo next?
I certainly hope these employees have retained a high powered law firm to take this matter to court. There is absolutely no legal basis for forcing an employee to be vaccinated contrary to his/her religious or philosophical objections.
For those employees who are teetering on the brink of getting vaccinated in order to appeal for reinstatement of their TriHealth jobs, please consider another option: a written letter clearly stating your religious objections to the flu shot.

I am personally against the flu shot, well me and my family. In the past we have gotten the flu shot only to be very sick for the rest of the year, off and on. For the past two years I have opted out on this shot, and wow, no one was seriously sick. I honestly believe this flu shot is for money, that's it. People die from the flu weather they had the shot or not. We are being misinformed and brain washed. Very scary stuff.

I received the flu shot for 2 years in a row and both times I got sicker than I had ever been with the just the "normal" flu. I'd usually be sick for 3-4 days with out the vaccine, but with it, the first year I was sick well over a week and the 2nd year I was sick for FOUR MONTHS! I absolutely will not be getting the flu shot again.
I highly recommend Dr. Sherri Tenpenny's website for rigorously researched information regarding vaccines

That is crazy!
I posted this on facebook and here is a reply I got,
"But they are the ones that are working with the sick, children, and elders. If they are infected and/or are carriers, they are spreading their illness, disease, or infections. If they are not willing to be immunized than they should quit their jobs as this is a requirement. I personally would not want my doctor or nurse to be working on me if they have not been immunized. We don't even let our school children and college students to attend public school if they have not been immunized."
It's amazing that people really believe that flu shots work and that they will mysteriously keep everyone from getting sick which is so not true. This girl was pretty sick during the summer, I think with the flu (although who knows, but her postings on FB for a week were all about how sick she was). The irony just makes me bang my head against the wall.
You find it amazing that people really believe the overwhelming majority of the medical and scientific community with regard to the safety and cost-benefit analysis of vaccines?
Wow – lots of ignorance both in the article and subsequent comments. Fascism involves state (government) control; Tri-Health is a private company enforcing it's own best practices policies. The author of the piece obviously doesn't know the meaning of the word fascism and is simply using it to attract clicks on the internet. Unfortunately, everyone here wasted our time reading this garbage.
Hundreds of millions of humans have received the flu vaccine with relatively few serious side effects. Conversely, 49,000 people die per year due to the flu, and over 200,000 are hospitalized. When you do the cost benefit analysis, there is absolutely no reason to avoid the flu shot, and those doing so are subjecting themselves and their loved ones to much more danger.
Please stop the conspiracy theories and myths. Uneducated folks read nonsense like the article and comments above and put themselves in danger.
You're obviously reading the wrong blog. EDUCATED people read here.
Sorry, but "Sarah" is not a doctor and has zero medical training. The idea that she is somehow better positioned to offer advice on vaccinations than the doctors and scientists at the CDC is illogical. The fact that "Sarah" threw "Mercury" and "neuro-toxin" into her post without distinguishing between thiomersal and methyl is evidence that she's just regurgitating non-scientific nonsense and not seriously looking into the issue. It helps get clicks from the tin-foil hat crowd, but her irresponsible posts also have dangerous real world conseqences when folks read this crap and do not vaccinate their children.
Tommy I am an RN. I have plenty of medical training. I have also been in the office when the drug rep was giving computers, trips, and dinners to the doctors. I have seen the rise in food allergies ( something almost unheard of 40 yrs ago). I have seen the narcissitic, controlling, know it all doctors be wrong time and time again.
You are a lemming
Tommy, if you don't want to know the truth, no problem! Just don't come to this blog. This is a refuge from LIARS and DISTORTERS.. If you want to read that kinda thing, DON"T COME HERE. Not trying to be rude..just disgusted with such aggressive, all-knowing opinion…based on IGNORANCE. DO YOUR HOMEWORK.
It's not an "all knowing opinion", it's science and basic math. If you don't believe in science and statistics, that's your perogative, but please stop pushing this anti-vaccine non-sense. Real folks read these blogs and some may take them seriously and actually not vaccinate their children. The flu isn't a joke – 49k people per year die because of this viras. The vaccine is our best defense. Mathematically it's an absolute no-brainer.
Please STOP with the nonsense. We know that flu is not that dangerous and the number of "deaths" is fabricated and those deaths are related to other illnesses, not necessarily the flu. Just because some people appear not to suffer ill effects doesn't make something less dangerous. Everyone I know who gets the flu shot ends up getting the flu. My husband became very ill after taking it and I refuse to take it. Never had the flu and am 60. The "no-brainer" is that you are a die-hard medical care provider who wishes to continue the dangerous myth that flu shots are not dangerous. STOP ALREADY… we are onto you.
You are the one who is ignorant. Since vaccines have become mandatory for most schools the incidence of food and other life threatening allergies has sky rocketed. The first reported case of milk allergy coincides with a vaccine containing a bovine additive. an it starts from there and goes on and on. The more vaccines the more allergies.
But who studies the link? No one because the pharmaceutical companies who are getting billions off vaccines only pay for studies which make them richer. There is also a law on the books saying that if per chance…….somewhere down the road someone should discover vaccines are wreaking havoc with our bodies, no one can hold the pharmaceutical companies liable if they prepared the vaccine correctly. Meaning it will be a big WHOOPSY! Sorry we didnt know it was trashing your immune system but we did manage to mix all the ingredients well.
Meanwhile who is pushing vaccines? Doctors….doctors who get donations and gifts and own stock in the pharmaceutical companies. Read the House of Representatives Session on Vaccines and Conflict of Interest. What an eye opener.
Hospitals get donations too. Pharmaceutical companies are making a lot of tiny little pills. You really think it costs THEM 200 dollars to make your medication? No it probably cost them about 10 bucks, if that much.
Sean Baker via Facebook
i can't believe this is legal, however i've seen no reports about this showing the fired employees were "conscientious objectors", so we may not want to turn them into martyrs quite yet, projecting our own beliefs about vaccinations onto people who were potentially nothing more than hopeless procrastinators.
I personally know THREE people who contracted Guillen-Barre syndrome from the flu shot. And this is supposedly extremely rare. No way am I getting a flu shot.
Tabitha Hoffstatter via Facebook
Do these employees have legal grounds to sue?
Catherine Purington via Facebook
Very scarey
Robin Kelman via Facebook
Good medical practice is about risk vs benefit of any treatment for a particular patient. Now we want to take that away from those who should be providing that type of care. As a RN I personally would give up working rather than take a flu shot but many do not have that option.
Julie Graff
There may or may not be some mode of detoxifying the preservatives from vaccines out of the body. None have been proven at this time. What can not be detoxified is the VIRUS that is being injected into you–bypassing your body's own natural selection. You are stuck with that. And be aware that the H1N1 vaccine that was banned in Europe because it caused so many deaths is INCLUDED in your flu shot and you are not being informed of it. They have to sell that stuff to someone… You are being injected with two viruses at the same time.
Julie, I heard that it is actually 3 vaccines together this year. Also, I read in one of the posts that one lady's husband took the flu-mist and she sent a neti-pot and he rinsed immediately. She said that none of them got sick…just an idea!
i am a nurse practitioner and a nursing instructor in alabama…i claimed "fear of needles" to avoid the flu shot. my co-worker told me i better not tell my students that i abstained because it would discourage them…this same co-worker, who of course got the vacc, was diagnosed with flu today…i feel great!
Kim Bartlett via Facebook
The only people I know that get the flu are the ones that have the shots
Natural Nutrition Nurse via Facebook
Bring on the masks or fire my @ss. I will NEVER willingly get a vaccine again!
The link that you posted at the end of your article that posts a letter from someone who refused the flu shot is VERY well-written. Thank you, Sarah, for sharing that link. She does a great job supporting her position and urging other how they too can carefully, prayerfully, support their own position. If you are one who hasn't read it – I encourage you to become more aware of the argument by following that link as stated above "click here for the details along with a sample letter for you to use."
we should request the services of healthcare workers who did NOT receive the flu shot. I don't visit doctors too often, but next time I do, I will ask if they have such a worker and will request their help…just to set a precedent of "what the consumer wants."
Great idea!
Love that idea!
Gosh, flu shots, flu shots, flu shots. I am getting tired of hearing that you have to have the flu shot. I had the flu shot 9 years ago and after I got it, I was so sick. My husband got it this year and I have NEVER seen him that sick (he was told to get it because he is a diabetic). My son got it 2 years ago and ended up in the hospital with febrile seizures. At his check-up this year the dr. asked if we wanted the flu shot for him (he's only 5) my husband said "Absolutely not". I can't believe that places are forcing us to get flu shots or else. I thought that we lived in the "Land of The Free."
Linda, I think that seeking protection against and from the shot is a great strategy for some people. I also became aware of the vaccine noose tightening up here in the north recently. My daughter's school handed out forms requiring parental/guardian signatures. The front of the form has a slogan: Immunize BC, issued by the Fraser Health Department> Hep B, meningococcal C, chickenpox and HPV for girls. "Vaccines are the best way to protect your child against many diseases and their complications. When you get your child immunized, you help protect others as well". On the very back page "Mature Minor Consent" can nullify any signature of the parent. Please beware and take notice.

Darn auto correct…I meant 'In terms of legality'…
Alicia Cousineau-Ingram via Facebook
And how are the people who get it sicker than the people who don't?
Kerri Convertito Lato via Facebook
This is very scary…I'm terms of legality this is a slippery slope!! Is it true that there is a 'preservative free' flu shot?? My aunt claims that she requested one last year and was able to get it.
I remember back in 1976 when I was working for a baby doctor at a hospital and the flu shots first came out. I asked him if he was going to get one and he said "no". I thought to myself – why would I want to get a flu shot when a doctor working with sick babies will not get one. That was over 36 years ago and I have never had the flu!
I do remember reading somewhere, where you could take something to reverse the flu vaccine or at least neutralize it from the body. It may have been on Mercola's site. There are things that detox your body from mercury and other toxins. One is called Pecta-Sol. It is made from apples. The other one is called Earth's Harvest, 100% micro algae. The powder tastes awful, but if you throw in raspberries it offsets the taste. Supposedly it even helps with radiation. Lastly, check out Dr. Thersea Dale.
I have loved ones working in healthcare in Canada who are required to have the flu shot or face losing their jobs. My question is: Is there some type of chelating agent, such as doing a Vitamin C flush, that could be taken immediately following an injection to quickly eliminate the vaccine toxins from the body? It may help these people to keep their jobs while we get on with the fight against this mandated, forced vaccination. Sarah, I would love to see you or someone address this!
There are some homeopathic remedies that are given to help clean up after a vaccination. Best to see a skilled practitioner for that one to insure getting the correct remedy and dose since you really don't see immediate results to know if you used the correct remedy.
Julie Graff
You're absolutely right, Cindy. By law, women in this country enjoy a DOUBLE INDEMNITY when it comes to our bodies. We have rights over our bodies as American Citizens and more rights over our bodies as women and conferred by the Supreme Court. In addition, every patient in a medical setting has the "Right to Refuse Medical Treatment". It is a patient's right to refuse–and if you are making a decision about getting a shot, you're the patient. Right?
I work at a hospital here in Tampa,FL. I have been here for over 20 yrs. and this year, we also were mandated to receive the flu shot. I did NOT get the shot but am required to wear a mask when within 3 feet of a patient, which I do! Many coworkers have told me how they wish they could have done the same. Also, when I explain to my patients why I'm wearing a mask, more then not they didn't get a flu vaccine either! I can't tell you how angry I am that people are being forced to be injected with drugs. I am hearing rumors that next year we won't have the choice to wear a mask it will be as the others spoke of. Get injected or get fired. I'm going to find a lawyer this year so I can be prepared for might be coming! I wish more people could stand up to this criminal act but I can understand how people need their jobs.
This sounds like a real opportunity for a class action law suit. If indeed this company can fire someone for not taking a flu shot, what will stop other companies from hiring people who do NOT use, coconut oil or taking supplements? Where are all the women who are screaming that government has no right to tell them what they can do with their bodies, ie, abortion, but it is acceptable to force people into taking a flu shot? We can't have it both ways. Government has crossed the line many years ago forcing consumers to compromise their health in order to expand their social experiment. Unless people stand up to this tyranny, more freedom's will be denied.
What social experiment? You have private companies forcing people to take flu shots, then wanting employees to take it to court, which is the government. If there was no government, the companies would have a field day, which is why they want to shrink government, so they can get away with more. As a result of budget cuts, agencies that investigate and protect consumers are being reduced, including the courts, while corporate welfare is at an all time high. This also allows for corporations to have more of an impact on the government, lobbying for such things as mandatory vaccines, reduction of employee rights, etc., which needs to be stopped. I agree that it is time for the people to take a stand, they have been sleeping for too long.
I urge people to constructively channel their anger by donating whatever they can to the people who are out on the front lines fighting to make sure these types of policies do not become the law of the land locally or nationally.

Flu shots don't even work in the first place. And if they supposedly DO, how are the people that don't get it a threat to the ones who got it and are "protected"?
Katelyn Riechers via Facebook
So so crazy!!!
I shared your link on my personal facebook page which started a dialog! I thought I was a lone wolf on this issue. How refreshing to see I'm not really a tin-foil hat person after all. One friend, a nurse at TGH told me they were informed that they get the shot or wear a mask the whole time they're on the job. She then brought up that that made a whole new set of problems, sighting several nurses at BRH coming down with pneumonia breathing their own C02. Not to mention what the lack of good oxygen does to the cognative skills. (Can you say proper patient care??). Every year, when my doctor asks if I wanted the shot he gets the same reply from me: "until it becomes more dangerous for me to get the flu than the shot…" Lol
Julie Graff
I happily ended my own nursing career, this being one of my many concerns about nursing in general. I no more fancied administering this harmful medication to my patients than I fancied having it administered to me. Tip of the iceberg, really.
At its inception, the chief aim of nursing was providing all of the conditions necessary for the patient's body to heal itself. I was 100% in favor of this strategy. But nursing has gone downhill and in the wrong direction. It is nothing more than ugly MEDICINE run amuck.: (Definition of amuck: Mad with murderous frenzy.) I've found I don't need money so badly that I would harm someone to get it. First, do NO harm. But harm was the first thing I was expected to do at work, as well as the last thing, and everything in between.
What a great post, and the last sentence is a great warning to all. Thank you.
Caitlin M
I, too, ended my nursing career. I am now a stay-at-home mommy. I dreaded giving patients shots, medications, treatments, food, etc, that I did not support and would never take for myself or give to my family. I admire health care workers that have the stamina to care for others in that way even when they don't support it… However, I could not do it.
Thank you Julie…I am about to end my 29 yr career in Resp. Therapy, and I am sad..but, I am like you..I can NOT ask people to do what I don't believe in. BTW, there is a movie called, "FIrst Do No Harm" with Meryl Streep and it shows the darker side of medicine. I am learning to live on way less, but I will be happy not to be oppressed daily. Your post encouraged me. Thanks again.
Okay, I'm a little confused, given that we have talked about patients being fired by their doctors for not agreeing to vaccinations, as well as harrassed – we have healthcare workers who don't want to be subject to the same kind of mandatory situation and apparently completely understand about their right to choose.
I don't think we can call it healthcare anymore.
And now they are trying to make ALL vaccines MANDATORY! Welcome to America! Land of the free, home of the slave!
Brittnee Turner Horting via Facebook
My husbands company offers flu shots but doesn't require them, and they also give everyone free boxes of an Emergen-C type powder all winter long. Hopefully this continues…
James, the vaccine either works or it doesn't! It is NOT dependent on how many people are vaccinated. Logic even applies to this subject.
The sad thing is that while there are many who oppose vaccines, there are more who think they have cured everything! I have seen my office mate get in a tizzy about finding a place to get vaccines in the past when there is a limited supply. She was so worried that her family would get sick without them. Well guess what, they got extremely sick with them!
I agree that people should have a choice and I hope that people start fighting somehow. Even if you are a healthcare worker and got a flu shot to keep your job (sometimes we have to make hard decisions for our families and do things we don't want to do), that doesn't mean you can't start fighting now, somehow, and start preparing for next year when you will be forced to get another shot.
There needs to be some kind of group who works with healthcare workers to get this change.
I do think, however, that people need to be careful with their rhetoric so that they don't alienate people who are on the fence about this issue or who feel like they have no choice.
Jennifer Kelly
Lets not forget that it's good business to sterilize your employees. Pesky pregnancies and babies. Maternity leave is expensive!! It's putting money into the insurance companies pocket too. Line up health care workers. Be good little ones and take your flu shot!! We need a whole army of people that CAN'T have children!
I think maybe a deviation from NEEDING that job IS a viable option. Downsize?? Start your own clinic? There's options you haven't thought of.
Hmmmm…yep, this pisses me off!
Chelsey Miller via Facebook
Unbelievable! My work forces us to get the flu shot every year as well (I work in healthcare), or we have to wear a mask (aka-scarlet letter). It makes me so angry every year, beyond words.
Alicia Cousineau-Ingram via Facebook
Fire people because they are concerned about what is put in their bodies? That makes no sense. I know someone who worked in pharmaceuticals and the vaccine is based on the past season, not the present. The new season has already morphed into a different strain. Sorry they lost their jobs, that is sad. But applaud them for caring about themselves.
At his recent check up, my 17 year old son refused the flu shot. He told the doctor he doubted its efficacy. I was then pulled into the hallway and put under immense pressure to tell my son what to do. He HAD to have the flu shot. I smiled and said he was old enough to make his own decisions. Unfortunately, I wonder if under the Affordable Health Care Act we will someday be unable to make that decision for ourselves. If large corporations are forcing people to choose between a job and a vaccine, what choices will the American people be forced to make? A rock and a hard place, indeed.

Yes she's serious. People used to think Hitler had good ideas too. Pay attention or else history can repeat itself.
Philosophy of government that stresses the primacy and glory of the state, unquestioning obedience to its leader, subordination of the individual will to the state's authority, and harsh suppression of dissent. Martial virtues are celebrated, while liberal and democratic values are disparaged.

If people in the healthcare industry don't want the flu shot, that says something.

You'd be right. Their eyes are open. Do you remember the movie Matrix? People have to ask themselves if their eyes are open.

Stanley Fishman
Aaron, I think that says it all. I first learned about the problems with vaccines from two ex pediatric nurses in our homeschooling group, who would not allow their children to receive a single vaccination, not for anything.
It is more than a tough call, people have seniority, time in the bank and everyday living to do in this economy. Not to mention, family ties in the area, inability to commute and what you do or don't do at one hospital follows you to your next job. Most hospitals are not so willing to take someone without a reference from their previous job. I was given 3 choices, a job with a flu immunization, no job, or a job wearing a N95 mask for the whole shift (12 hours.) I can tell you that 12 hours in a N95 mask would be miserable, try wearing one for just a few minutes. I cannot not have a job for the reasons stated above so I chose the flu immunization. Simple survival there. Am I happy about it…no. I don't even think they work. Do I think they should have the authority to invade my body, no. Do I have to eat and pay bills, yes.
This very real situation you describe is an indicator of how insidious these draconian policies are — they know they have people over a barrel. It's an apt description, sticking people while they're over a barrel.
The flu vaccine is shown to be ineffective because so many people already take the vaccine there's no chance of catching the flu from someone who is vaccinated which is a huge % of the population. It's not that the vaccine doesn't work…. the means of it to spread to someone who doesn't get it is less when other people get the vaccine….
James, that is incorrect. Check out the Cochrane Study on the flu vaccine.
"Over 200 viruses cause influenza and influenza-like illness which produce the same symptoms (fever, headache, aches and pains, cough and runny noses). Without laboratory tests, doctors cannot tell the two illnesses apart. Both last for days and rarely lead to death or serious illness. At best, vaccines might be effective against only influenza A and B, which represent about 10% of all circulating viruses. Each year, the World Health Organization recommends which viral strains should be included in vaccinations for the forthcoming season.
Authors of this review assessed all trials that compared vaccinated people with unvaccinated people. The combined results of these trials showed that under ideal conditions (vaccine completely matching circulating viral configuration) 33 healthy adults need to be vaccinated to avoid one set of influenza symptoms. In average conditions (partially matching vaccine) 100 people need to be vaccinated to avoid one set of influenza symptoms. Vaccine use did not affect the number of people hospitalised or working days lost but caused one case of Guillian-Barré syndrome (a major neurological condition leading to paralysis) for every one million vaccinations. Fifteen of the 36 trials were funded by vaccine companies and four had no funding declaration. Our results may be an optimistic estimate because company-sponsored influenza vaccines trials tend to produce results favorable to their products and some of the evidence comes from trials carried out in ideal viral circulation and matching conditions and because the harms evidence base is limited."

Fascism? Are you serious? The use of vaccines is not a national mandate to control the country! It's primarily required for healthcare and medical workers and some of us do study for years to do the work that we do and yes, earn paychecks to make a living. Your sensationalism annoys me.
Angry Momma
You're highly deceived. And sensationalism? What about a government that says 'you'll DIE without the flu vaccine!!' 'Hurry and get one'. Oh and we'll throw in bennies for the companies that effectually put our preferences into practice. Now THAT is sensationalism!! Some of the best there is. Did you see how many followed and how many fought. I'd say the sensationalism won out there!
You studied for years under in schools funded by Big Pharma. Doesn't that tell you something?
Karen, I have been in healthcare for 29 yrs and this is absolutely wrong. There is no sensationalism here, just TRUTH. Better find out before your lack of knowledge kills you or someone you love. Go back and read the story about the Trojan Horse, and then STOP taking candy for a "stranger". One last thing, the "studying" that you do is almost 100% funded by BIG PHARMA. Don't kid yourself.

The only time we ever got the flu was when my husband was in the Navy and they forced him to take it. 18 years out of the Navy – 18 years flu-free.
Here, too! They made my husband get the nasal vaccine two years in a row. The first year, he didn't tell me, because he knew I would be upset and worried about him. About a week later, while lying in bed with the flu, it hit me! I asked, "Did they give you the nasal flu vaccine?" Response: "Yep, last week." The second year, I made him take a neti pot to work. He rinsed immediately following, and none of us got sick. It has been back to the injection since then. Terrible, terrible for him. We are dealing with so many health issues as a result of all of the junk they have injected him with.
Elizabeth Bivens via Facebook
I'm allergic to eggs. I CAN'T get a flu shot even if I wanted one! The one time allowed one of my children to get the shot, because of extenuating health issues, ALL of my children and my husband got the flu. Yet I didn't. Skipped the flu shot again this year and when it went around our friends kids we did not get it.

Especially amazing considering that without fail studies show that the flu vaccine doesn't even work.
"Without fail"? Really? Where are you getting your information from Sarah? This study from the highly respected New England Journal of Medicine suggests that the vaccine is effective. http://www.iep.org/Our%20Physicians/Journal%20Club/12.03.09/effectiveness%20of%20live%20attenuated%20to%20inactivated%20.pdf

This is something I trully don't understand. Correct me if I am wrong but isn't the flu vaccine a crap shoot? I have heard that they have to manufacture the vaccine weeks before flu season so they have to guess what the most prominent strain is going to be. Often times they guess wrong which renders the flu shot ineffective. I don't understand firing people for something that is "if-ie" at best.
thehealthyhomeeconomist via Facebook
It's about money and its about control … healthcare workers will have to decide whether they want their bodies to be essentially owned by their employers.
thehealthyhomeeconomist via Facebook
@Paula healthcare workers are going to have to organize and fight this. It is not about health as these companies are claiming as the flu vaccine was never mandated before. It is about the growing opt-out movement for vaccines and Big Pharma giving drug discounts and other stuff under the table for big companies like TriHealth that comply with its request for mandated shots.
Paula Ann Mills via Facebook
Thank you Sarah for helping out in this area. I needed this nudge to get my own defense started as I am a health care worker who cannot take the flu shot.

Tawnya Howell via Facebook
I would have been fired also! No job is worth it!
This makes me so upset. Everyone should have the right to choose what goes into their body without harrassment. It should be an individual choice, not a mandatory policy. The nurse at my daughter's pediatricians office tried to act like the flu shot was mandatory and bully me into it at our last visit. I didn't let them push me into it. That experience was upsetting enough for me. I feel so badly for these people. An employer should not have that kind of control over a personal health desicion.
It has been 10 years since i worked hospital, but the shots were given for free to employees then, too. I never had pressure to take them, tho. We hated flu shot time. Many of those who got it were out for 3-4 days, sick, afterwards. They were the ones who got the flu later in the year, too. I don't think i ever had the flu during those years, just a few colds.
I understand needing a job, etc., but i have to say, i think it is sad that only 150 people out of 11,000 stood up to this ridiculous requirement.
Beyond what you've shared about the toxins in the vaccine is the fact that it is shown to make very little difference in the outcome – it is not effective.
I am an ICU nurse in Austin TX and at all my past RN jobs, including this one I have had to receive the flu shot- or get fired, even if you have a good excuse. I need to keep my job, so unfortunately I do not have a voice. I tried the religious exemption and it does not work. I will help fight. I am 30 and just upset at what it can do to my unborn children having these toxins in my body. Sad.
In Colorado hospitals/healthcare, you are not even allowed the religious exemption this year, only a medical exemption if you have almost died from the flu shot (nope, egg allergies are no longer an excuse!). And they are firing people too if they do not comply by the deadline. We all have got to start fighting this!
I'm an atheist and would use a religious exemption not to get a flu shot. I also use a religious exemption so my children don't have to have vaccines to attend a public school.
opps…guess I should have read all the way down…they are still allowing Religious exemptions…They better…they are supposedly a Catholic Hospital…
This is a new policy as of this year. I was employed at Trihealth for 10 years. I always filed a religious exemption and was "allowed" to wear a mask whenever I was w/in 6 feet of a patient. I guess it's a good thing we moved. I had actually come to TriHealth from The Christ Hospital which DID fire me b/c I refused a flu shot. It's really sad that TriHealth has caved to the pressure. I'm telling you, we the health care workers need to unite against this tyranny….I'm afraid It will only get worse w/Obamacare.
What information do you have that things would get worse under Obama Care? My husband and I are paying $1,100 a month for health care, each with a $500 deductible, $20 co-pays per visit and 80% coverage in network health providers, meaning we pay 20% out of pocket. Yet, they continue to reduce the number of visits and coverage of services we use, such as chiropractors and acupuncturists. I would much prefer to use that money on alternative health care, but we need the coverage in case of a catastrophic occurrence, which could bankrupt us. We consider ourselves "lucky" because we can get health care coverage, as health insurance companies call the shots on who they will cover and what they will pay. In California, rates were going to go up 30% for one of the largest carriers and the CEO was getting a $3 million bonus. With Obama Care, health companies can't turn down people for per-exisiting conditions, which can be anything, including being 20 lbs over weight, young adults over 18 can now be covered under their parents policy and insurance companies were forced to give refunds because they couldn't prove a preponderance of fees were going to health services. If we can have a national health care system that is run as well as the post office or medi care, I'm all for it. And, no the post office is not in the red because of poor management, It is because a group of Republicans in Congress insisted that the pensions for 75 years be paid in 10, which is impossible, which is what they want, so we will privatize it. Government has its problems, but it provides an array of services and protection to its citizens. It is time the people focused on the vulture capitalists that have destroyed the economy and are ruining this nation with their philosophy that profits come before people and the country.
Well said, Karen!
well first I was going to go with the "hey KarenLA let's just throw the baby out w/the bath water" comment…..but seriously I have worked in health care in one form or another since 1990, and I do believe that improvements need to be made, but I don't think government ought to make those improvements…seriously KarenLA when (and please name specifically) has the government intervened and something became better…that is cheaper, better functioning, creating a better product? And getting your news from The View doesn't count.
I also do believe that everyone should have some form of State minimum health insurance coverage(that they themselves pay for not the government) I believe that people should be given incentives for maintaining a healthy lifestyle ( and no vaccines would not be on that list). KarenLA you rightly point out that under Obamacare, no one can be turned away for a pre-existing condition. Well guess what health care premiums will necessarily skyrocket to pay for everyone's pre-existing conditions. And those refunds you speak of re: returned health care premiums where not much at all some as little as $6 bucks up to maybe $100 a few outlier cases up to $900. I also believe that George Bush the II should have NEVER had the government i.e. Medicare pay for prescription drugs. Guess what had happened since that ruling????anyone, anyone??? More drugs have been prescribed. See when government interferes decay happens. I guess you could call my views neither demo or repub…again as someone who has been in the industry fro 20+ years, I see plenty of ways to make improvements……and it ain't a flu shot…
Very well said, Kathy. I am neither democrat nor am I a republican, and I don't know about you, but I don't trust either side, and in regards to this flu shot…I AM TERRIFIED!!!
Amen sister! I'm going to keep on fighting against these mandated vaccines!
keep yu healtyh ins ideas for you. dont need them
I also do believe that everyone should have some form of State minimum health insurance coverage( shud have put this there with it
Good Katie,thanks for that clarification ,i'm 100%with your opinion,with this administration this is going to be very badddddddd,people be prepare
We are a military family, and I always tell people that if they want to know how "great" government-run healthcare is going to be, they can look to the military for their example! Chiropractors and Acupuncturists? TriCare would laugh if called asking them to pay for anything "alternative." None of that is covered. In fact, nothing my family needs or desires in the way of TRUE healthcare is covered under the military's fabulous, free plan, which is why we took ourselves off of it several years back. The only things we got from our coverage were harassing phone calls wanting to know when I was bringing my babies in for their vacs (Never!) or when I had had my last pap (None of your business!). They even called my husband at work to harass him about this stuff. I tried several times to get moles removed. There were so many phone calls and doctors visits and so much red tape to get through that the moles are still there today! Such a ridiculous mess and wast of taxypayer's money. Don't get your hopes up, KarenLA.
Politics aside, the official government stance on vaccinations are that they are safe and that the risks are very small for the greater good. So, if government has more control over health insurance it's not that far fetched that they may require vaccinations as a condition for getting that insurance. There are two states that have such tight restrictions on exemptions that they are pretty much non-existent. Many states are constantly fighting to keep the exemptions they do have.
Sorry Karen, but you deceived if you think that the mess we are in was caused by ONLY Republicans..NO WAY our government was hijacked by one party…It took ALL of them working together to put us in this mess. (Imagine what they could do, if they were really interested in HELPING us!) There is not a single government agency that works well. I know, 29 yrs in healthcare and my husband has 15 in Long term Care, so we both have seen upfront what government intervention does for a business. You don't have time to hear all the examples of government run AMUCK that I could tell you. I haven't had health insurance in 10 yrs and I want it that way. Most of healthcare is unnecessary, except for acute problems, and then I just pay my bill and don't accept things that I can't pay for… Even if they told me I had cancer, I would NOT use the system. Worse things than dying in this world. I have a Savior and if I die, I know where I will be. The things being done by our government and nation are illogical and self-destructive. We need to educate ourselves, as the government is not responsible for us. WE ARE!
if you put that money away each month youn wold have what you need for that rare chance
I am an RN
I worked in a doctors office for 10 years
I had patients with the flu coughing on me, blowing snot all over the office and teeming with fever. And I never had a flu shot. And i never had the flu.
Its all about money. There is a HUGE rise in food and other life threatening allergies which coincides with mandatory vaccination in schools.
No one studies it cuz it would cost the pharmaceutical companies billions

My husband loves these Rods because they are so lightweight. We use them to crappie fish. This ship to store is nice as long as we stay updated as to when it arrives and we have a few days to pick up.
Light weight yet sturdy. Equal to many more expensive rods.
very well satified

KILLEEN (April 14, 2013)--A man was killed when his motorcycle collided with a parked Ford F-150 truck in front of someone's home.
Photo by Kristin Gordon.
The accident happened at the intersection of Bridgewood and Golden Gate road.
Killeen Police received a report that there were major injuries involved. When they arrived, they found a deceased 46-year-old black male.
The Justice of the Peace pronounced him dead at 6:42 pm.
The investigation shows that a black and gold motorcycle was traveling at a high rate of speed northbound on Bridgewood when he failed to negotiate the curve. This caused him to collide with the parked truck in front of someone's residence.
No autopsy has been ordered at this time. His name has not been released.

Farmers will look back on 2012 with a shiver – but it wasn't all bad news
Published 19/12/2012 | 06:00
Another budget over and another year nearly gone and what have we to show for it? In years to come what will the historians make of 2012? Did anything significant happen? Are we making mistakes which will only be recognised retrospectively when it's too late to correct them?
Hopefully we haven't repeated the blunders such as the benchmarking of 2002 or the bank guarantee of 2008. At best we just muddled along, slowing down the rate of national debt increase.
Katie Taylor, Donegal's footballers, and Rory McIlroy will all look back on 2012 with a warm glow.
Irish farmers will more likely view 2012 with a shiver.
But it wasn't all bad. The first few months were quite promising. Beef and store cattle prices hit new heights. A warm, dry spring saw crops planted in ideal conditions and early grass growth was unprecedented.
"We'll pay for this later," was the common refrain from the naysayers and they were right. The debate continues as to whether 2012 was the worst summer or just one of the worst in recent memory.
Those who espouse the climate change theory will point to multiple global weather occurrences including October's Hurricane Sandy in the US to back their case.
Equally, Ireland continues to be buffeted by the economic storms. We saw little shift in unemployment, property prices, budget deficits.
Maybe the weather and economic challenges of 2012 represent the new norm for Ireland.
This is how it's going to be for the foreseeable future. We just have to suck it and get on with life.
Agriculture is not the worst sector of the economy relative to others. Of late, the world's food demand/supply balance has been tipping towards the primary producers.
This is leading to volatility and uncertainty, but with a few nice price spikes as well.
The tight supplies of beef and sheepmeat, both domestically and internationally, saw record prices to Irish farmers over the past two seasons.
To date in 2012, the Irish factory cattle kill is back by a massive 180,000hd or by 12.2pc on the 2011 throughput. 2012 beef prices to the farmers were up 12-14pc on the previous year.
It is expected that the tight Irish cattle supply will continue till about June 2013. What will happen then?
It's vital that prices are not allowed slip back to the levels of the bad days. Current costs of meal, fertiliser and oil couldn't endure former beef prices.
Compared to 2011, sheep prices took a major hit from late March to June when excess hoggets spoiled the party. Mid-summer prices held well for finished lamb but the trade for light store lambs, especially mountain cross lambs, collapsed.
The small recovery in the Irish sheep flock also saw the excitement in breeding sheep fizzle out. Like cattle, sheep prices need to hold at this summer's level of €5/kg or €100 for the factory lamb, to keep farmers interested.
At the start of the season there were bad vibes on milk price as the world's supply seemed to be expanding faster than consumption growth.
Then came the US drought. Milk price slipped, but not as badly as predicted. The same US drought, allied with the cold and rain in Western Europe, put the Irish grain and feed train into a tizzy.
When 2012 is viewed in hindsight I reckon that the abiding image will be one of having to house cattle in mid-summer and the millions lost by growers from selling their grain before the prices took off.
In spite of the bright spots it looks as if farm incomes will be down somewhere between 10pc and 20pc.

In Defense Of Cat Videos
An open letter to Anthony Weiner.
Yesterday evening, in a candid interview with BuzzFeed Editor-in-Chief Ben Smith, New York "mayoral" candidate "Anthony Weiner" condescendingly suggested in no uncertain terms that cat videos were ephemeral, unimportant, and forgettable. AND I QUOTE: "You can do this," said Mr. Weiner, "or show videos of cats," (sarcastically!) "or whatever it is you do at BuzzFeed."
Well, sir. Obviously, you have never seen this "video of a cat," or whatever, in which two cats play patty-cake with each other.
Yes, Mr. Weiner, the cats play patty-cake with each other. But you probably never even bothered to click play, otherwise you would have known that. I take it that you also missed that infinitely brief but briefly infinite moment last year when a cat pushed a small cart across the world's stage and the universe almost shattered.
Of course you did. Otherwise you might have been more circumspect in your references to the art form. May I be so bold as to ask whether you even have a cat, Mr. Weiner? Or, more to the point, whether you have ever bothered to try to videotape one? Because if you had, you might know how IMMENSELY DIFFICULT it is to get a cat to be interesting with, say, a balloon?
… or a teddy bear?
… or, I don't know, a slide?
What's that you say, Mr. Weiner? You missed all those videos? How novel! Forgive me for having been misled into believing that you were an expert on "cat videos OR WHATEVER" based on your willingness to dismiss the entire medium yesterday evening.
Perhaps you'd care to dismiss this "CAT VIDEO OR WHATEVER" in which a cat inserts her entire body into a giant vase?
FACE FIRST. Face first, Mr. Weiner. Into a vase.
Apparently this breathtaking display was inadvertently excluded from your expansive and wide-ranging appreciation of these so-called videos of cats. or. whatever. that render you so unwaveringly bored.
Doubtless, you would remain similarly inattentive were you to happen upon a cat interrupting a weather report.
"An everyday occurrence!" you would say. "And a distraction from the important issues!" Important issues, like, say, FAMILY, Mr. Weiner?
"Important issues" like, say, morality?
Or perhaps you are more concerned about "important issues" like the daily struggle of each individual against the cruelty of an uncaring universe that threatens to crush them with its weight. I speak of our inexorable battle against the oppressive gravity that conspires to hold us back from the greatness which we can achieve if we would only try.
I am sorry if these issues leave you cold, Mr. Weiner. I am sorry if these matters are beneath you. Most of all, I am sorry that you will never know the ecstatic triumph that comes with the certain knowledge that on one fateful day in our short but momentous history upon this planet, a cat, dressed as a shark, chased a duck. ON A ROOMBA. A Roomba, Mr. Weiner.
I am sorry for you, Mr. Weiner. Good night.
