MOTHER DOES RESEARCH

Mother Does Research, Chooses Not to Vaccinate

FLINT, MI – Local mother of a 2 children, Denise Jacobson has decided after much research that she will not vaccinate her children. “Research is so easy these days, with Google and Bing. I was able to find a lot of information.” Ms. Jacobsen has thousands of websites and Facebook groups bookmarked on her Firefox browser. She also has talked with countless self proclaimed experts who have concerns over vaccinations.

Ms Jacobson laid out her case: “Vaccines are targeted at diseases that don’t exist. I have never heard of someone having polio or rubella. Maybe I would get a vaccine for ear infections, my kids get those ALL the time. Mostly because their diet contains too much gluten, which I am trying to eliminate.” Sources say she claims her fear of needles stemmed from getting vaccines as a child which has given her PTSD. She went on to describe how the safety studies on these vaccines are over a short period of time, 50+ years, and that she wants more evidence. “Do vaccines cause college freshmen to binge drink? Where is the study that shows they don’t?” She also claims that non-vaccinated children score higher on geography tests than vaccinated kids. “My Nathan beat Sammy on the South America geography test last week, obviously due to not having toxins in his brain.” Denise’s friend Janet also weighed in. “I heard to make vaccines they take mercury and aluminum to kill the virus, and then they take the mixture and inject it into your child! No thank you.” “Many famous people throughout history weren’t vaccinated including Jesus and hey did just fine,” Denise referring to Jesus Christ the man who was born 1,796 years before the first known vaccine. Denise also made a reference to non-internet sources, “The Mom’s group we are in all heard about the kid on Oak street who is a little weird. And I know he got vaccines just last month!”

Many years ago, Al Capone virtually owned Chicago. Capone wasn’t famous for anything heroic. He was notorious for enmeshing the windy city in everything from bootlegged booze and prostitution to murder.

AL CAPONE

Capone had a lawyer nicknamed ‘Easy Eddie.’ He was Capone’s lawyer for a good reason. Eddie was very good! In fact, Eddie’s skill at legal manoeuvering kept Big Al out of jail for a long time.

To show his appreciation, Capone paid him very well. Not only was the money big but Eddie got special dividends as well. For instance, he and his family occupied a fenced-in mansion with live-in help and all the conveniences of the day. The estate was so large that it filled an entire Chicago City block.

EASY EDDIE AND AL CAPONE

Eddie lived the high life of the Chicago mob and gave little consideration to the atrocity that went on around him.

Eddie did have one soft spot, however. He had a son that he loved dearly. Eddie saw to it that his young son had clothes, cars, and a good education. Nothing was withheld. Price was no object.

And, despite his involvement with organised crime, Eddie even tried to teach him right from wrong. Eddie wanted his son to be a better man than he was.

Yet, with all his wealth and influence, there were two things he couldn’t give his son; he couldn’t pass on a good name or a good example.

One day, Easy Eddie reached a difficult decision. Easy Eddie wanted to rectify wrongs he had done.

He decided he would go to the authorities and tell the truth about Al ‘Scarface’ Capone, clean up his tarnished name, and offer his son some semblance of integrity. To do this, he would have to testify against The Mob, and he knew that the cost would be great. So, he testified.

Within the year, Easy Eddie’s life ended in a blaze of gunfire on a lonely Chicago Street . But in his eyes, he had given his son the greatest gift he had to offer, at the greatest price he could ever pay. Police removed from his pockets a rosary, a crucifix, a religious medallion, and a poem clipped from a magazine.

The poem read:

‘The clock of life is wound but once, and no man has the power to tell just when the hands will stop, at late or early hour. Now is the only time you own. Live, love, toil with a will. Place no faith in time. For the clock may soon be still.’

STORY NUMBER TWO

World War II produced many heroes. One such man was Lieutenant Commander Butch O’Hare.

EdwardHOHare

BUTCH O’HARE

He was a fighter pilot assigned to the aircraft carrier Lexington in the South Pacific.

One day his entire squadron was sent on a mission. After he was airborne, he looked at his fuel gauge and realised that someone had forgotten to top off his fuel tank.

He would not have enough fuel to complete his mission and get back to his ship.

His flight leader told him to return to the carrier. Reluctantly, he dropped out of formation and headed back to the fleet.

As he was returning to the mother ship, he saw something that turned his blood cold; a squadron of Japanese aircraft was speeding its way toward the American fleet.

The American fighters were away on a sortie, and the fleet was all but defenceless. He couldn’t reach his squadron and bring them back in time to save the fleet. Nor could he warn the fleet of the approaching danger. There was only one thing to do. He must somehow divert them from the fleet.

Laying aside all thoughts of personal safety, he dived into the formation of Japanese planes. Wing-mounted 50 calibres blazed as he charged in, attacking one surprised enemy plane and then another. Butch weaved in and out of the now broken formation and fired at as many planes as possible until all his ammunition was finally spent.

Undaunted, he continued the assault. He dived at the planes, trying to clip a wing or tail in hope of damaging as many enemy planes as possible, rendering them unfit to fly.

Finally, the exasperated Japanese squadron took off in another direction.

Deeply relieved, Butch O’Hare and his tattered fighter limped back to the carrier.

Upon arrival, he reported in and related the event surrounding his return. The film from the gun-camera mounted on his plane told the tale. It showed the extent of Butch’s daring attempt to protect his fleet. He had, in fact, destroyed five enemy aircraft.
This took place on February 20, 1942, and for that action Butch became the Navy’s first Ace of W.W.II, and the first Naval Aviator to win the Congressional Medal of Honour.

A year later Butch was killed in aerial combat at the age of 29. His home town would not allow the memory of this WW II hero to fade, and today, O’Hare Airport in Chicago is named in tribute to the courage of this great man.

So, the next time you find yourself at O’Hare International, give some thought to visiting Butch’s memorial displaying his statue and his Medal of Honour. It’s located between Terminals 1 and 2.

SO WHAT DO THESE TWO STORIES
H AVE TO DO WITH EACH OTHER?

Butch O’Hare was ‘Easy Eddie’s’ son.

MAYMUN ISLATMASI DENEYİ

En iyisi, size gülmeceli bir bilimsel deneyden söz
edeyim de ülkemizin haline ışık tutsun.

1. Beş adet maymunu bir kafese kapatın. Kafesin
tavanından, bir ipe bağlıyarak bir adet muz sarkıtın
ve muzun altına da bir merdiven yerleştirin. Bir süre
sonra maymunlardan biri muza erişmek için merdivene
çıkmaya çalışacaktır.

2. Ayağını ilk basamağa koyduğu anda yüksek basınçlı
soğuk bir suyla bütün maymunları bir güzelce ıslatın.
Bundan sonra hangi maymun merdivene çıkmaya çalışırsa
çalışsın, maymunların tümünü basınçlı soğuk suyla
ıslatmayı yineleyin.Bu işlemi tüm maymunlar merdivene
çıkmaktan vaz geçene dek sürdürün.

3. Musluğu kapatın. Bu aşamada,herhangi bir maymun
merdivene yaklaşırsa diğer maymunların onu hemen
engellediklerini göreceksiniz.

4. Maymunlardan birini kafesten çıkarın ve yerine yeni
bir maymunu kafese koyun. Yeni maymun muzu gurup
merdivene çıkmak isteyecek ve dehşetle görecektir ki
diğer bütün maymunlar engellemek için ona
saldıracaklardır. Yeni maymunun tüm denemeleri
saldırıya uğramakla sonuçlanacaktır.

5. Bu aşamada deneyin başındaki 5 maymundan birini
daha dışarı çıkarıp, içeriye yeni bir maymun getirin.
Bu yeni maymun da merdivene çıkmaya çalıştığında,
başta diğer yeni gelen maymun olmak üzere, bütün
maymunların saldırısına uğrayacaktır..

6. Başlangıç maymunlarının üçüncüsünü, de yeni bir
maymunla değiştirin. Yeni maymun merdivene
yaklaştığında, tüm diğer maymunlardan dayak yiyecektir
ki, eklenen son iki maymunun dayağın nedenini
bilmedikleri halde, en baş dayak atıcılardan olduğunu
göreceksiniz.

7. Başlangıç maymunlarının sonuncularını da (4üncü. ve
5incisini) dışarı çıkarıp kafese iki yeni maymun daha
getirin. Bu durumda kafeste merdivene çıkmayla
basınçlı soğuk su deneyimi geçirmiş hiçbir maymun
kalmıyacaktır. Son gelen maymunlar da dayak faslından
geçtikten sonra artık hiçbir maymunun muz yemek
amacıyla merdivene yaklaşmadığını göreceksiniz.

Nedeni ne ola ? Gerçek neden olan soğuk suyla ıslatılmak, hiç bir maymunun kafasında yok; “bu işler bu kafeste hep böyle gelmiştiir, böyle gider.”
