"John McClane: You know what you get for being a hero? Nothin'. You get shot at. You get a little pat on the back, blah, blah, blah, attaboy. You get divorced. Your wife can't remember your last name. Your kids don't want to talk to you. You get to eat a lot of meals by yourself. Trust me, kid, nobody wants to be that guy.
Matt Farrell: Then why you doing this?
John McClane: Because there's no body else to do it right now, that's why. Believe me, if there were somebody else to do it, I'd let them do it, but there's not. So we're doing it.

Words To Live By
"The era of small government is over ... government has to be more proactive, more aggressive." ( Tim Pawlenty 2006)

"You're just petty politicians, who'd sooner sign onto the wisdom of a tyrant in another country, than the demands of ticked off voters in your own." (Neil Cavuto June 2008)

“I didn’t question her patriotism. I questioned her judgment.” Mr. Cheney went on: “The point I made and I’ll make it again is that Al Qaeda functions on the basis that they think they can break our will. That’s their fundamental underlying strategy, that if they can kill enough Americans or cause enough havoc, create enough chaos in Iraq, then we’ll quit and go home. And my statement was that if we adopt the Pelosi policy, that then we will validate the strategy of Al Qaeda. I said it, and I meant it.” (Vice President Cheney NYT Feb. 2007)

"A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers. (Ronald Reagan March 1, 1975)

"Oh, no! First of all, if I took one vote away from a serious candidate, it would be a sin." (Al Franken Time Magazine, 9/1/03)

Fate

After phone calling last night a few of us were talking about some things and stayed late. On my way home down Highway 10, I was detoured by an accident scene. I had a feeling it was bad. Suicide by car.

A 24-year-old homeless woman is dead after reportedly darting in front of a vehicle while carrying her small dog in Ramsey Monday, Aug. 13, according to the Anoka County sheriff’s office.

The woman was reportedly from Big Lake but was estranged from family. The sheriff’s office is withholding her name while attempting to notify next-of-kin.

She was hit at the intersection of Highway 10 and Sunfish Lake Boulevard at 9:40 p.m. by a driver heading eastbound on the highway, the sheriff’s office said. The driver had a green light to cross Sunfish Lake Boulevard when the woman reportedly jumped in front of his car.

The driver was identified as Patrick Donald Berg, 27, of Coon Rapids.

A person close to the woman told investigators the woman had recently been talking of suicide and had been looking for someone to take her dog the night she died. After finding no one, she reportedly told her friend she wanted the dog with her when she died.

Suicide by car. Had I not stayed late and helped clean up, I could have been the person who this person decided to jump in front of.

If you are thinking of suicide, get help. If you know someone who talks about it, get them help.

And, if you are going to go ahead with it, don’t force someone to be the one who kills you. Imagine having someone jump in front of your car. Seeing their eyes as you…… I have nightmares.

And for Pete’s sake, don’t punish the dog.
