:bgtup: Its amazing how people ,who were never able to "find" work :rolleyes: ,are now "getting" jobs because of the crackdown.Welfare had become Heriditary , if your parents were on it ,as soon as you became of age you automatically filed for it.I'm sure there are cases where it was a benefit ,but I personally saw way too many who found it convenient.

My dad spent almost 20 years working for the State of AZ, food stamps program. I'd guess that 20% of the people in there, that I saw, "looked" like they needed help. I'd pull in to see my dad in a '73 Monte Carlo & have to pass brand new Cadillac's. (this as the late 70's , early 80's) It started my education of the system.
 
more signs of the end drawing near ;)

Eleven people died and thousands were taken to hospital with breathing difficulties after a swarm of grasshoppers invaded a town in central Sudan.

Health authorities in Wad Medani, capital of the central al-Jezira state, said an epidemic of what they considered to be asthma had afflicted 1,685 people since October 22, all of whom had since been cured.

The government-owned Al-Anbaa newspaper reported 11 people had died from the breathing difficulties.

"The appearance of the epidemic is linked to the unprecedented increase in the grasshopper insects," the daily quoted the health authorities as saying.

Resident Joseph Mogum in Wad Medani, about 176 km southeast of the capital Khartoum, said the grasshoppers gave off a strong smell which caused breathing problems.

The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation said on October 21 that swarms of locusts were threatening crops in northeastern Sudan, Mauritania and northern Niger, but it was not clear if it was the same species that was affecting Wad Medani in central Sudan.

Mogum said the grasshoppers were smaller than the usual species that appear during the rainy season in Sudan and destroy vegetation.

Heavy rains in Africa's largest country over the past three months have caused floods that have killed at least 20 people.

Relax people. If the Apocalypse was REALY coming then the Red Sox and the Cubs would have made it to the world series. But they didnt. So all is right with the world. For it is written in tomes of old that the triumphing of the cursed ball clubs will usher in Armaggedon.
