Blame It On New Jersey

A Little Secret About Bottled Water

It's rough enough that the millions of Americans who buy bottled water are paying for something that used to basically be free. But even harder to stomach is the message that comes on the bottle: Like milk and eggs, water now "expires."

But does water really spoil? Despite the labels reminding consumers to drink up, there is virtually no evidence that drinking water beyond the expiration date has any health impact at all. The Food and Drug Administration considers bottled water to have an "indefinite shelf life." Even the bottled-water industry is hard-pressed to justify the labels.

Why New Jersey?

To some degree, the fact that bottled water carries expiration dates can be blamed on New Jersey, the only state that officially requires it. That regulation dates back to 1987, though it's not completely clear what prompted it. The New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services says only that: "The intent of the law was to protect the safety and quality of drinking water."

The Guest That Wouldn't leave

Law slanted in favor of unwelcome guests In Florida at least.

"They tell me I can't just put him out," she said. "I have no say-so about who's in my house. It's like I'm not the head of household in my own house. He is the ruler."

If it got as bad as some of the stories in this article I think I would just let the house burn.

A Glimpse of the Truth

PA leader: Israel has no right to exist

Nasser asserted Israel cannot exist "among human beings" because it was "founded on the basis of robbery, terror, killing, torture, assassination, death, stealing land and killing people," reported Palestinian Media Watch.

Apparently it doesn't exist "among human beings."

Semicolon keeps same-sex marriages going 2nd judge delays ruling, cites punctuation error in plaintiff's petition

The Proposition 22 Legal Defense and Education Fund asked the judge to order the city to "cease and desist issuing marriage licenses to and/or solemnizing marriages of same-sex couples; to show cause before this court."

Warren said the petition should have an "or" where the semicolon is placed.

"I am not trying to be petty here, but it is a big deal," he told the group's attorneys, concluding, "I don't have the authority to issue it under these circumstances."

The United States, as founded, is broken beyond repair. This is not the government set up by our forefathers. If they were alive today they would lead another revolution. Our Judges have no respect for the rule of law, they don't really even pretend to anymore, and the congress are collaborators with them. It's all about them and what they want. The U.S. is far from the worst nation in this respect but: Luke 12:48 For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required;

Isaiah 1:4 Alas, sinful nation, A people laden with iniquity, A brood of evildoers, Children who are corrupters! They have forsaken the Lord, They have provoked to anger The Holy One of Israel, They have turned away backward. 5 Why should you be stricken again? You will revolt more and more. The whole head is sick, And the whole heart faints. 6 From the sole of the foot even to the head, There is no soundness in it, But wounds and bruises and putrefying sores; They have not been closed or bound up, Or soothed with ointment.

This is what is coming, as hard as it is to believe:

Isaiah 1:7 Your country is desolate, Your cities are burned with fire; Strangers devour your land in your presence; And it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers. 8 So the daughter of Zion is left as a booth in a vineyard, As a hut in a garden of cucumbers, As a besieged city. 9 Unless the Lord of hosts Had left to us a very small remnant, We would have become like Sodom, We would have been made like Gomorrah.

Interestingly, Saddam thought of himself as the ressurected Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. Ancient Babylon was in Iraq. He wanted to rebuild Babylon, take control af the Arab world and it's oil, destroy Israel and eventually control the world. But God had said the city of Babylon would never rise again and He used the U.S. to take Saddam down.

Jeremiah 51:5 For Israel is not forsaken, nor Judah, By his God, the Lord of hosts, Though their land was filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel." 6 Flee from the midst of Babylon, And every one save his life! Do not be cut off in her iniquity, For this is the time of the Lord's vengeance; He shall recompense her. 7 Babylon was a golden cup in the Lord's hand, That made all the earth drunk. The nations drank her wine; Therefore the nations are deranged. 8 Babylon has suddenly fallen and been destroyed. Wail for her! Take balm for her pain; Perhaps she may be healed. 9 We would have healed Babylon, But she is not healed. Forsake her, and let us go everyone to his own country; For her judgment reaches to heaven and is lifted up to the skies.

The nations of the world did not want Iraq overthrown because they were "drinking in" alot of money from Saddam. They became "drunk" and wanted to keep that very sick and dangerous man in power. They were deranged. They are also not ready to forgive the U.S. for doing it, we've made enemies by doing the right thing. It says "we would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed." Could that mean our attempts at starting a democracy there will fail? I don't know. It certainly means there will not be much of anything there, it will always be a weak nation. I have alot more to study about this.

I do know that now the U.S. is having to defend itself from within and from without. Will we suffer another major terrorist attack? Will it weaken our economy further, causing repercussions around the world. Will the E.U. economy collapse, causing the rise of another stronger, more aggressive Europe, similar to WWII? Will all out war start in the middle east first? The next World War has started, how will it play out?
