Israel vs Palestine, win or loose?

I think there may never be an opportunity like the one that presents itself today. The Palestinians, whom I have not supported because of their past aggressions against Israel, seem now to be embracing the idea of a peaceful region with the possibilities of Statehood. I have long worried about the region and the wars and conflicts. But now, with Israel continuing to build settlements in Palestinian lands, my views are beginning to turn in Palestine’s favor. Is Israel really interested in a peaceful outcome? Their actions say no. A definite new effort must be made by Israel to add to my confidence any idea that they still work in the interest of peace.

Is Hillary helping the cause?

TELEPHONE SCAMS

Source: Email from a friend

I dialed ‘0′, to check this out, asked the operator, who confirmed that this was correct so please pass it on . . . (l also checked out Snopes.com. This is true, and also applies to cell phones!)

PASS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW

I received a telephone call last evening from an individual identifying himself as an AT&T Service Technician (could also be Telus) who was conducting a test on the telephone lines. He stated that to complete the test I should touch nine(9), zero(0), the pound sign (#), and then hang up. Luckily, I was suspicious and refused. Upon contacting the telephone company, I was informed that by pushing 90#, you give the requesting individual full access to your telephone line, which enables them to place long distance calls billed to your home phone number.

I was further informed that this scam has been originating from many local jails/prisons DO NOT press 90# for ANYONE. The GTE Security Department requested that I share this information with EVERYONE I KNOW.

After checking with Verizon they also said it was true, so do not dial 90# for anyone !!!!! PLEASE HIT THAT FORWARD BUTTON AND PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!!

Entergy Nuclear Vermont Yankee LLC?

The name itself gives fair warning, LLC stands for *Limited Liability Company*, another name business and government have come up with to limit losses in case of a serious mishap. Link -> http://www.entergy-nuclear.com/plant_information/vermont_yankee.aspx

This plant needs to go away but the legislature has already given tentative approval when Entergy submits an energy plan. Tell your legislature to vote, ‘NO’ on Entergy approval! Canada has already agreed to give Vermonters a win win deal on clean and safe hydro-electric energy.
