Thought for the week:

Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events.

                                        Sir Winston Churchill

Welcome,

I hope that this newsletter finds everyone well and living a good and productive life.

For the last 2 days I have been watching in amazement portions of the sessions of government bodies debating legislation to help rescue the struggling "big three" automakers with tax money from the citizens of the United States.

What is most amazing to me was the arrogance and lack of cooperation from each of the three CEO's.

I felt that there were no positive action plans or terms of accountability that could be found in any of the answers given by any of the company leaders. It was as they felt that this "bailout" was owed to them and their respective companies.

I also felt that they were banking on the plight of the automotive related industry workers to influence the government to bail them out of a situation that their shoddy business practices had highly influenced.

Everyone got the impression that the money would have been a temporary fix and not a cure to a definite problem. It wouldn't be long until the "gimme" hand would be extended again.

You may have an opinion that differs from mine but to me, the bailout for the financial institutions was a big mistake and a bailout of the automotive industry would be an even bigger mistake.

The troubles of both were partly brought on by each trying to overcharge or over extend the consumer.

It seems that there was no attempt made in the past by the auto industry to do things in a better or cost conscious way. Just give in to all union demands without a reasonable objection.

Handle all government requirements in the easy and fastest manner and pass along any additional costs, in total, to the customer.

Concentrate on building the "gas guzzlers" without any concern for gasoline costs that the customer must bear and don't have a clue that this will eventually be the demise of the company's market share.

This is just a few of the reasons that have put the "big three?" into the predicament in which they now find themselves. It's hard for me to feel sorry for them an any way. They have managed to run three companies into the ground. These were so great at one time.

The "survival of the fittest" rationalization should take place and let the auto makers sink or swim on their own. Let each come up with a plan of survival.

Filing bankruptcy protection may be the best option for all involved, especially the American citizen.   

Personally, I have owned one American brand vehicle in the last 30 years and this purchase was not one of my best decisions.

The Following article was taken from the FDA website:

Vaccines Stand Ready for Flu Season

Vaccination is the key component of influenza prevention.

Commonly called "the flu," influenza is a virus-induced, contagious respiratory illness. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) plays a key role in protecting Americans against seasonal strains of flu.

Assuring the safety of influenza vaccine is one of the agency's top priorities. So is ensuring that there's enough vaccine for everyone who wants it—especially for people who are at risk of complications of influenza.

There are two kinds of influenza vaccines:

  • The flu shot contains inactivated, or killed, influenza viruses.
  • The nasal vaccine is known by the trade name of FluMist. It contains weakened, live viruses, and is sprayed into both nostrils.

Autumn is the best time to get vaccinated, although getting the vaccine in the winter months when flu season often peaks is also recommended.

Marketing To GOM™*

*Grumpy Old Men 

Copywriter Bob Bly is an expert at writing copy that sells and can give you the specifics for making your copy stronger and getting every ounce of punch from it.

Read the introduction below for his new report Marketing To GOM™ and get your free copy.

This is the introduction to the free report.

 GOM™ stands for “grumpy old man” or “grumpy old men”—more specifically , males age 50 and older. To be a GOM™, you have to be a man born 1958 or earlier.

Because GOM™ are a primary market for many products and services sold through direct response (DR)—both offline and online—you can increase response rates by tailoring your DR copy to the needs , desires, and concerns of the GOM™ market.

GOM™ respond to a wide spectrum of direct response offers—everything from life insurance and investments, to adult education and business opportunities, to nutritional supplements and health care, to books and newsletters. The term grumpy old men used to describe a market segment may have originated with Agora Publishing CEO Bill Bonner, who has, for many years, described the market for his stock market newsletter as “grumpy old men”.

Something that we must think about:

Now that the election is over and all of the campaign promises have been made and probably most forgotten, we can see what kind of situation that  "we the people" of this great nation have brought into realization.

Even though you, like myself, may not agree with the choice that has been made we still need to pray for all of the leaders and the nation in general.

Unless we put Christianity back in the forefront and our leaders make their decisions based Christian principles this country will continue in its downward spiral.

Our present economic conditions have evolved mostly from individual and corporate greed and selfishness. This was made even more evident in the past election.

Do you really think that all of the campaign money spent was due to the candidates concern for our and the nations best interest?

It is time for us to closely monitor the the actions of our leaders and become the not-so-silent majority.

You say, 'If I had a little more, I should be very satisfied.' You make a mistake. If you are not content with what you have, you would not be satisfied if it were doubled.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon
