World's Oldest Man Dies at 114

Hetep and Respect Mr. Walter Breuning. congratulations on your longevity and showing us elders how it's done. I plan to beat your time by six years.

Readers when do you plan to die? I know it's an odd question for many but think about it. You plan to buy a car, get married buy a house which, is more important?

I took time and read the whole piece this time it is always amazing to hear the wisdom of the elders.

"Everybody says your mind is the most important thing about your body. Your mind and your body. You keep both busy, and by God you'll be here a long time," he said.

I surly take that to hart, I try to give my mind body and spirit a workout everyday.

If Mr. Breuning was the oldest man at 114 and the oldest woman in GA born 26 years earlier, that makes her 140, wow. Did I get the math right? Another inspiration. That means my beating Elder Breuning by six years should be a piece of cake. lol.

He took no meds, that is another good hint at staying healthy.

I would also add 8hr's sleep, night.

World's oldest man dies in Montana at 114

Here's the world's oldest man's secret to a long life: — Embrace change, even when the change slaps you in the face. ("Every change is good.") — Eat two meals a day ("That's all you need.") — Work as long as you can ("That money's going to come in handy.") — Help others ("The more you do for others, the better shape you're in.") Then there's the hardest part. Read more at www.newsvine.com

14 Ways 90 % Tax On Filthy Rich Fixes Our Economy

A return to Eisenhower-era 90% top tax rates helps fix our economy and country in several ways:

1) It makes it take longer to end up with a fortune. In fact it makes people build andearn a fortune, instead of shooting for quick windfalls. This forces long-term thinking and planning instead of short-term scheming and scamming. If grabbing everything in sight and running doesn’t pay off anymore, you have to change your strategy.

4) Combined with badly-needed cuts in military spending – we spend more on military than all other countries on earthcombined – taxing the wealthy ends budget deficits and starts paying off the massive Reagan/Bush debt. This reduces and ultimately eliminates the share of the budget that goes to pay interest. The United States now has to pay a huge share of its budget just to cover the interest on the borrowing that tax cuts made necessary. Paying off the debt would remove this huge drag on our economy. (Never mind that Alan Greenspan famously called for Bush’s tax cuts by saying it was dangerous to pay off our debt – now that same Alan Greenspan says we need to cut benefits to retired people because our debt is so high.)

Another way to think about America's challenge of paying for what she wants is the Maximum Wage concept. We have all heard about the Minimum Wage, but what is the relationship between the two and what should it be?

What we are really talking about in this article is a kind of basic financial cultural literacy necessary to understand American human development and human development in general. A nation's rising economic development does not necessarily lead to rising human development (health, education and welfare) for its citizens. Every citizen should have a working knowledge of these relationships if one is to vote in one's self-interest. There are reasons we cannot let the corporate crack mules, known as TeaBaggers, turn America into a corpocracy.  For more information I recommend a  web site called Too Much. The site is an important resource on economic excess and inequality. Personally, I love the abundance of graphs for the average man at the site.

How do you think we should Pay for Health Care Reform and the other things our country needs.

AA Queen Mother's Child and Grand Child Attacked by Cops

Dr. Adelaide Sanford, Vice Chancellor Emerita of the New York State Board of Regents, along with several community activist, leaders and politicians, throughout the tri-state area, held a rally in front of the 52^ndPrecinct in the Bronx and then met with the Deputy Inspector to discuss the brutal assault of her son David Sanford, Dean at Benjamin Banneker High School in Brooklyn and grandson a college student.

This is an outrage against the African American community. My home town (NYPD) police are out of control and the Federal Government needs to step in and put in a civilian over site board with the power to discipline and remove police. The continuing disrespect of AA men by cultural anti-humanist cops must stop. The community may need to bring 100,000 people to the 52nd precinct to get the charges dropped and the police charged.
