"The
difference between the almost right word and the right word
is really a large matter—’tis the difference between the
lightning-bug and the lightning." - Mark Twain
The opposite of a
correct statement is a false statement.
The opposite of a profound truth may well be another
profound truth.
Niels Bohr (1885-1962), physicist
"Beware the man
of one book."
Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225 - 1274), Theologian,
philosopher
Life is not a
journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely
in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in
broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly
proclaiming:
WOW - What a Ride!"
"Consciously or
unconsciously we all strive to make the kind of a world we
like."
Oliver Wendell Holmes
"We Lakota have
a close relationship to the buffalo. He is our brother. You
can't understand about nature, about the feeling we have
toward it, unless you understand how close we were to the
buffalo. That animal was almost like a part of ourselves,
part of our souls." Lame Deer, Lakota

High court refuses to rule in biker shooting case
By The Associated Press
RAPID CITY -- The state Supreme Court has turned down a request to intervene in a criminal case stemming from last summer's gang-related shootings at Custer State Park.
A lower court judge ruled in February that defense experts for two men accused in the case could examine a gun clip prior to the state finishing its own test.
The prosecutor objected, saying if the defense experts damaged the clip, the state would have to proceed without a key piece of evidence.The prosecution asked the Supreme Court to overrule the lower court decision, but the justices denied the request.
Chad John Wilson, 31, of Lynnwood, Wash., and John Midmore, 33, of Valparaiso, Ind., are accused of taking 16 shots at five people last August.
The two are affiliated with the Hells Angels motorcycle club. Five people associated with the Outlaws Motorcycle Club were wounded by gunfire.
Charges against Wilson include attempted murder. Charges against Midmore include commission of a felony while armed, and aiding, abetting or advising attempted murder.
A June 4 trial date is set. |

FLORIDA
ECONOMIC IMPACT STUDY Released April 5, 2007,
the following is an economic impact study done for
the first six years ten months of Florida’s
amended helmet law. The motorcycle registration
figures are compiled from the statistics of the
Florida department of Highway Safety and Motor
Vehicles. The fees come from the license
registration bureau. >From 1999 to April 2007
motorcycle registrations in Florida increased from
198,601 to 509,036. That is an increase of
approximately 157%, and it is rising. The following
is the estimated revenue generated from the
registration and bike purchases.
310,435
motorcycles at an average of $10,000 each equals
$3,104,350,000.00
Sales Tax at 6% = $186,626,100.00
Registration fee for motorcycles at $26.40 =
$8,226,527.50
Change of title at $29.75 = $9,235,441.25
Buy
Tag at $10.00 = $3,104.350.00
TOTAL = $3,311,343,418.75
“This
is a low estimate as it doesn’t include antique
motorcycles or mopeds,” said James “Doc”
Reichenbach II, State Director of ABATE of Florida,
Inc., and Chairman of the Board for the National
Coalition of Motorcyclists (NCOM). “This is over
three billion dollars in almost seven years that has
been brought into Florida’s economy. Over
two hundred million in taxes alone went into the
Florida State Treasury.”
Doc
also points out that this does not include the
almost 4 billion dollars put into the economy from
Bike Week and Biketoberfest over the same period.
Registration
are annual so they would increase with each year and
there are also over 800,000 people with motorcycle
endorsements in Florida and that is $5 every time
they renew it.
“I
hope these figures will help anyone who has heard
that Florida motorcyclists don’t pay their fair
share,” concluded Doc. |
ABATE OF SC Motorcycle Awareness Rally Sunday May 6th at 12 noon At the Triple Crown Restaurant
103 North 12th St.
West Columbia SC.
MICHIGAN MUNICIPALITY RESCINDS MOTORCYCLE BAN The Oak Park City Council has unanimously repealed an anti-motorcycle ordinance that prohibited motorcyclists from riding on residential streets between 10pm and 6am.
ABATE of Michigan became aware of this ordinance when one of its members, Oak Park resident David Dolinski, contacted the organization and complained about signs being posted advising of the ordinance. ABATE authorized its attorney, Lawrence S. Katkowsky of Bingham Farms, to look into the matter. Katkowsky, who also serves as the Aid to Injured Motorcyclists (AIM) Attorney for Michigan and is legal adviser to the Confederation of Clubs of Michigan, notified the City that the ordinance was illegal under Michigan law and asked that it be repealed before the 2007 riding season.
Apparently neither the council, the City Manager, nor the City Attorney were even aware that the ordinance was on the books and were not aware that it was being enforced.
Following the council vote ABATE thanked the Mayor of Oak Park, Gerald E Naftaly and the other members of the City Council for their prompt action to remove this ordinance from their books.

BILL COSBY NAACP leaders stunned by remarks of prominent comedian. This is why!!
Can't Blame White People by Bill Cosby They're standing on the corner and they can't speak English.
I can't even talk the way these people talk:
Why you ain't, Where you is, What he drive, Where he stay, Where he work, Who you be...
And I blamed the kid u ntil I heard the mother talk.
And then I heard the father talk.
Everybody knows it's important to speak English...
except these knuckleheads.
Mushmouth is what they speak!
You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth.
In fact you will never get any kind of job making a decent living. People marched and were hit in the face with rocks to get an education, and now we've got these knuckleheads throwing that all away.
The lower economic people are not holding up their end in this deal.
These people are not parenting.
They are buying things for kids. $500 sneakers for what?
And they won't spend $200 for Hooked on Phonics.
I am talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit.
Where were you when he was 2?
Where were you when he was 12?
Where were you when he was 18?
And, how come you didn't know that he had a pistol?
And where is the father?
Or who is his father?
People putting their clothes on backward:
Isn't that a sign of something gone wrong?
People with their hats on backward, pants down around the crack, isn't that a sign of something?
They're walking around with their nasty underwear showing, and holding onto their pants to keep them from falling to the ground!
Isn't it a sign of something when she has her dress all the way up to her panty line, and got all types of needle piercings going through her body?
What part of Africa did this come from?
We are not Africans.
Those people are not Africans; they don't know a thing about Africa .
With names like Shaniqua, Taliqua and Moh ammed and all of that crap, and all of them are in jail.
Brown or black versus the Board of Education is no longer the white person's problem.
We have got to take the neighborhood back.
People used to be ashamed.
Today a woman has eight children with eight different 'husbands' -- or men or whatever you call them now.
We have millionaire football players who cannot read.
We have million-dollar basketball players who can't write two paragraphs.
We as black folks have to do a better job.
Someone working at Wal-Mart with seven kids saying...
you are hurting us.
We have to start holding each other to a higher standard.
We cannot blame the white people any longer.
It is not for media or anyone of this time anymore to say whether I'm right or wrong.
It is time, ladies and gentlemen, to look at the numbers.
Fifty percent of our children are dropping out of high school.
Sixty percent of the incarcerated males happen to be illiterate. There's a correlation.
Tell the media to stop asking me what I think about people who don't believe what I'm saying or feel that I'm too harsh or feel that I'm just running my mouth because I'm old.
Seventy percent of the teenagers pregnant happen to be African American girls.
Don't ask me to soften my message.
Bill Cosby

DESTINATION: Minneapolis/St. Paul
There are 2.4 million people in the Greater Minneapolis/ St. Paul metropolitan area, but Minneapolis wins the population race with 368,400. The strong Scandinavian strain in the cities' ancestry has not prevented them from constructing miles-long skyway systems. Residents can drive downtown, park, walk to work, go to lunch, shop, see a show, and return to their cars without once setting foot outdoors -- a blessing in the blustery Minnesota winters. |
There is a dangerous virus being passed electronically, orally, and by hand. This virus is called Worm-Overload-Recreational-Killer (WORK). If you receive WORK from any of your colleagues, your boss or anyone else via any means do not touch it. This virus will wipe out your private life completely.
Should you come into contact with WORK, put your jacket on and take two good friends to the nearest bar. Purchase the antidote known as Work-Isolator-Neutralizer-Extractor (WINE) or Bothersome-Employer-Eliminator-Rebooter (BEER).
Take the antidote repeatedly until WORK has been completely eliminated from your system.
You should forward this warning to 5 friends. If you do not have 5 friends, you have already been infected and WORK is controlling your life.
