Found this on face book it belongs to RiverWolf on da I'm reposting it because I agree with it.
This is one idea that really should be passed around
*Congressional Reform Act of 2013
1. No Tenure / No Pension.
A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office.
2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security.
All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.
3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.
4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.
6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.
7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void effective 12/31/13. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women.
Congressmen/women made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.
If you agree with the above, pass it on.
*I got this as an email and thought I'd share it here. I 100% agree with this, if you do too then pass it on to others any way you can.und

What is art???
2 min read
People like to say that isn't art if they have enything aginest it or it's creater or somebody told them that that it isn't art. What I belive art is is a way for people to express them selves. So what I belive is that art is in the eye of the creater not the beholder or some college or university teacher. But if you want a dictionary defation here it is.

How low has society has fallen.

How low society has fallen. It used to be that porn was just adult human to adult human (man to woman). But now some pervets have gone as far involve animals violence along with minors (11to16). Some pervets (people) have sexual intercores with family members (incest). Which in my opion is perveted and gross. So what has happend to societ? Why do we have to put up with wife beaters, child predators, bestality, and incest. In my opion we as a society we willnot be able to recover from this fall until we get are life straitght and some form of morals which I don't see happing any time soon. This is not an attack on same sex couples.
