If you don't believe me, read this article from the Daily Telegraph (London) about new EU rules that children cannot blow up balloons or use party whisles due to their "danger." You have got to be kidding!!
This is where Obama and the left will take us.
Maybe you think this is a good rule? I'd be interested in your thoughts.

Bikes for Terre Haute!
When Sue and I were in London we saw a "Rent-a-Bike" kiosk and lots of bicycles where anyone can rent a bike with a credit card and ride wherever and then return the bike. I put a picture up on my TWITPIC site.
What do you guys think of that idea? Lot's of cities are evidently doing this. Would it be worth approaching the City of Terre Haute to see if there might be a need for this downtown or around the schools. J's Bikes could support and maintain the stations for the city. It would probably be profitable for you and the city.

'Occupy Wall Street' - What are they?
Kathleen McKinley, a blogger I regularly read, tweeted with some of the "Occupy Wall Street" protesters and writes a very interesting summary of her conversations - both the protesters side and her side (conservative!) which summarizes the misunderstanding of how our society operates and offers several suggestions to the protestors to affect their grievances.
I found her summary to be a concise summary of many of the 'facts' that are so often ignored.
Read it here and comment!

1 in 5 Oregonians Receive Food Stamps!
It is almost hard to believe! And the State is PROUD of that fact!
Read here about the $5 million Oregon received for this ACCOMPLISHMENT!
Sad!

Herman Cain - Next President?
Saturday Herman Cain won the straw poll in Florida (an informal vote of Republican activists from around Florida) and has the pundits speculating about his possibilities in the competitive race. One of his key plans is the "9-9-9" plan to restructure the Federal tax system.
This article from the Washington Times explains the system. What do you think?

Effect on J's Bikes? You guys would have to collect a 9% Federal Sales Tax on all sales and submit to the Feds - as you do with the Sales Tax you collect today. Willing to do that for a new tax system?

CHARTER SCHOOLS
John Stossel offers his thoughts on a fix to our public school system - more charter schools and eventually a "really free and competitive system". The numbers do not lie!

Stossel is basically a Libertarian which I tend to be at times, and sees problems with the current society very clearly. A fun guy to follow (he has a lot of appearrances on Fox and I believe a show. What do you think?
