Part of my coming to MoPo is to escape the bs from the Dems, ACORN,
and the creep they selected to be the US Puppet. His kind of change
will tax the crap out of the people who spend thousands of dollars on
this hobby, Tom!
Since I kept my passion for Hillary off MoPo this WHOLE TIME out of
respect for all of you, I expect the same. Tom, if you feel that
strongly, use one of his quotes at your sign-off, like I do. But have
the respect to NOT put him in the body of your message, as I often
read what you have to say and don't need that fool in my face on a
lovely Sunday morning!!! That was RUDE!
If you need to vote, he has plenty extra names you can use that he
pretends to not know about. Better yet, email ACORN and they'll send
you a whole city block of names. Don't forget, they take pets and
corpses, too!

Hello Mopo- Thought I would give a veiw from what I have seen in
last year as far as whats happening
in many sectors of our business
I started in 1977 and have seen several shake outs as far as
recessions. Movie memorabilia and collectables,
or diversions have typically been a refuge or escape for people
during rough times. Vintage material seems
to be pretty safe as investment however high ticket items can soften
as people have less money. The wealthy
it appears however are being hurt this round as they invested in
stock market and portfolios that were in mutual funds.
As far as assets the real estate seems to have been a fluffed up
investment loseing 30-60% value in the last year.
My House ( bought from Leyman bros.. was bought at 115K and is worth
at monent would guess.. 80 k and was financed
at 8.5 at 30 years fixed. Not a brilliant investment and only
grace was it was zero down.
Politically - Barack Obama is going to be here-( Toledo, Ohio) for 4
days at the maumee state park resort giving a speech tommorrow and
he will prepare for the last debate. here
I was at 1st for Barack and then I became confused as Both sides
presented great arguments and also
they both cast doubt on each others abilitys,, But this last week
when McCain defended Barack and said
we need not be afraid that hes a good honest man, I relized that
they both were brave to want to lead this country and that it
actually would be great if they worked together to achieve unity and
to fix the Usa
economic woes. They can as tey are both senators even after the race
in over so they can help each other.
So either way it turns out they should work together as Both has a
passion for this country. For me Barack has
endured so many attacks on his Faith, his color, his family history,
his past association with people
and the radical in question seemd to be a anti veitnam war radical.
well back in the 60's the hippies and people that wanted the war to
stop,, where considered radicals.. But
they wanted the killing to stop...At Kent state university in OHIO
4 -protesters where shot and killed by
Ohio Gaurd troops because they stood up and rebelled.. against the
WAR .. so Did the people at the Boston tea party... and
the entire USA was founded by Rebels that wanted to have thier own
country. The country is a melting POT
of every religion, and culture and ethnic group. That is why we
have so much diversity. If you look historically in so many areas
like engineering, and creative areas we have been a merger of all
countrys
and all peoples... Not one but all...( One nation , with Liberty and
Justice for ALL) Look at the space program NASA, entertainment,
autos, electronics//
heck Ebay, computers , medical..aircraft, Foods,
telecommunication// we have been leaders and innovators in all
sectors along with allies in other areas.
I see it as we just need to see that its time that the world come
together as we will clearly see this week we are all
linked by a financial, energy and ecology and dependence on each
other that is a good thing.. because sure there are some with
differances in how to live but that has been since age of time. We
now have the ability to communicate and work
together in a way never before seen and have the technology to
correct the worlds issues if we work in a unified world that would
address health care on a global level. peace on a global level.
The recent events and the financial meltdown prove that we all need
each other globally .. and that greed does not work. PERIOD.
If we find new energy solutions in wind and solar ( Toledos Xunlight
is the world leader and also First Solar)
So we can make a differance, we can make a change and if we do as
our forefathers did and to get to work
and forge ahead we will survive any clamity either man-made or by
nature.
So.... In summery --- I missed getting registared to vote.... as I
was so damn undecided.... and i was frustrated.... so yesterday
I thought what can I do to help? well... I thought Ill get some
signs and go to the rally monday..
well went there and it was two blocks of people waiting...... so I
came home... and thought.... well I could donate some items like a
megaphone, clapper and clock.... and maybe that would inspire
Barack to see some support
and would give him and the campaign crew some fun.. So I hopped in
the Car and went to the headquarters and said
well heres some stuff all MADE IN USA in TOLEDO , OHIO ... and
where's the yard signs?? they were out of signs... and out of
tickets to the rally..... so I at least tryed... and perhaps
if we all just do what we can no matter how small maybe we will get
Change.
I feel so lucky to be able to have a business and a chance to
pursue the american dream. I wish everyone on Mopo health and peace
and success.
Tom
