A Question For You

Hey folks,

It’s Friday, time to go to the Emails. OK, I have a question for you. I’m serious about this. I want you to take a few minutes, sit back, clear your mind, and REALLY think about this.

How many people, that have been in your life, have died?

Now I’m not talking about TV or Movie stars. Nor am I talking about obituaries you have seen. I mean people you actually have known. I did. My list is as follows.

1- Grandmother
2- Grandfather
3- Father
4- Uncle
5- Good Friend of mine.
6- Officer friend of mine. {In the line of Duty}
7- American Soldier friend of mine. {Iraq}
8- REALLY Good friend I only knew for 6 months, watched him die of cancer.

If there were any others, they were when I was young and really do not remember. I thought this was a lot. I really did. I know people that have NEVER lost anyone they know.

So sit back, and make a list......... OK, ready?

Now I thought eight was a lot. How many did you get? Why am I posting this? Uh, one, it IS fascinating. Two, SHE, wants to be President. Now let’s leave any questions of any actual involvement out for a second. No proof, so just pure speculation. But let’s think about this. How many on your list, died in a plane accident? Me none. Clintons? I count at least 5, IN DIFFERENT PLANES.

I also love this one. 33-James Milan - Found decapitated. However, the Coroner ruled his death was due to "natural causes". I guess technically that is true, hard to live without your head.

How about this. Think about this one. Out of all those on your list, how many were Suicides? Me none. Clintons? I count at least 12. I love this one.15- Suzanne Coleman - Reportedly had an affair with Clinton when he was Arkansas Attorney General. Died of a gunshot wound to the back of the head, ruled a suicide. Was pregnant at the time of her death.

So let’s say all these people killed themselves. These were people closest to the Clintons. Is being close to the Clinton so bad that you off yourself? I do not know about you, but I have no desire to find out. Just something to think about as we head into the Weekend. See you Sunday.
