When my husband called, I asked him to set the property up for sale.  Being that it was grouped under the band group, one of the band members had to do it.  I am just a band spice, I don’t have that ability, not that I would want it.

Tonight, I logged into SL to check the market and see if things are going ok, expecting to log onto my sister’s front porch.  As things start to rez, I notice I am not at my sister’s.  I am in a sim where she holds rental property.

As it continues to load, I do the typical, check email.

“Sissy, I am not letting you leave SL because some bitch wants to be petty for what ever reason.  I am not going to let you do that, and you know as long as I have it, you will never be with out a place to go.  I built you a new house, Andy put some of your stuff into it, you need to go to my house and get your dogs. They have more room to run around now. We decided to let you do the kids’ rooms and set their stuff up because being a mom, I know how important that is for a mom to do.  I hope you like it.  I love you.  — Spawn”

There was more to that email, like how she hadn’t slept in over 72 hours and hoped all the prims aligned properly, and if not she sold it to me for 0L and full prims so it didn’t have to be moved and replace it and so that I could fix or change what ever I wanted to, Andy helped, Kyle came online to help, etc etc.

It’s a beautiful house. It’s the house I wanted to build before but didn’t have the room. I also wasn’t sure how I was going to keep it low prim. She did the whole house and front awning and deck in 48.

This particular property was supposed to go to the art museum she wanted to build. That project was important to her. In this gesture, I see that I am more important to her. I always knew she loved me, but this reminded me how much. It also reminded me that not only is she my sister, but my best friend.

Maybe later I will come back and edit this post so it makes more sense. Right now I am being overly emotional. If you knew about the ups and downs of the last 2 years of all of our real lives, it would be easier to understand the why.

I just read the post on the Second Life Official blog entitled “A Letter to Second Life Residents”.

I am very impressed with their decision on the open space pricing. Those who followed the rules are not going to be punished because of the few idiots. Here is the new ammendment in case you missed the post.

“Here is how we are amending the price change:

1. We are going to retain the Openspaces product at its original price point and its original intended use (forest, water, etc.). We will have technical limitations to help regulate their use, initially avatar and prim limit restrictions, eventually event, classified and script limits. Those of you who chose to use the Openspaces as intended may stay at the US$75 rate, but will need to contact the concierge team to do so.

2. If you want more than an Openspace, we will offer you the choice of moving to a new product called Homesteads that is intended for light use such as low density rentals. For existing Openspace owners we will phase in the price increase for this new product over the next 6 months. Homesteads will also have technical limits for avatars and prims, and eventually script limits as well.

* January 5, 2009 – non-compliant Openspaces will transition to Homesteads and the maintenance fees will go from $75 to $95 per month. We will offer an educational discount to qualified educators on the new Homestead product. The discount amount will be the same as Private Regions, roughly 30%.

* July 2009 — the maintenance fees for Homesteads will go from $95 to $125 per month”

“My country tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing”

But for how long? I would like to point out before I begin that I am not opposed to having an African American in the White House. I myself am NOT white. I also am not a racist and as long as they stand behind our military, believe in our Constitution and will do what’s best for this country, I don’t care who is in the White House. Can be purple with pink spots for all I care. As long as they uphold the Constitution of this Country. I am also a LOT miffed that Mr Obama didn’t seem to acknowledge our flag with the proper respects it deserves when he won the election…. not fitting of a man or woman who is the most forefront figure head of not only this country, but the commander in chief of our military… WHOOO HOOO YEAH GOOD MILITARY SUPPORT THERE!! GOOD LOOKIN OUT!!

Our Consitution, this piece of paper that some are taking as meaningless, represents the blood of the fighting men and women who have gained and continue to keep this country free.  What a slap in the face to our veterans, extending from 1775 to current.  Did they die, or become DAVs for nothing?  Freedom is what they stand for, fight for, and what I as a USMC wife and mother, am grateful that they have done.  Gives me the right to write this post.  So with that, if you like the fact that you can bitch right now, THANK A VET!!

This same piece of paper also represents the struggles and oppression of so many, the Native Peoples of this land who fought to retain what was theirs, then the struggle for them to be apart of what was created from their blood and tears; the Africans who were ripped from their homelands and brought to a far away land and sold into slavery, their fight for freedom, both as runaway slaves and finally the Civil War; the Constitution gives them their freedom in writing and symbolizes the struggles of so many great African Americans. Again, let’s slap them in the face some more people. Although, since I can, first amendment gives me this right for now, it hasn’t been taken away yet; Mr Obama is not only African, but he is also white, and possibly Arabic decent. He represents more people then just the African Americans of this country. I personally don’t find that a bad thing. This country has become such a melting pot of so many races, it’s a shame to me that racism still exists. We can all find a little bit of this and that culture in ourselves. EMBRACE IT!!

“Article Two of the Constitution sets the qualifications required to become president. Presidents must be:

* natural-born citizens of the United States
* at least thirty-five years old
* must have been resident in the United States for at least fourteen years”

Broken down:

“Natural-Born
An understanding of the nation is essential for the role of President. The framers of the Constitution strongly believed that a person must be born in the United States in order to fully understand the country.

35 Years of Age
Personal experience was very important to the framers. They felt that unless a person had reached the age of thirty-five, it was highly unlikely for that person to have experienced enough to govern a nation.

14 Year Residency
Part of being President involves dealing with both domestic and foreign problems. In order to face these problems, previous knowledge of the nation’s history in these matters is necessary. The framers decided that fourteen years was an adequate time span to comprehend these issues.”

Citizens at the time of adoption of the Constitution were also eligible to become president, provided they met the age and residency requirements, which is why the 14 year residency requirement.”

Now you may be asking yourself what makes this election illegal… Lets touch on the facts of this illegal election.

Point 1.  Mr Obama has said that his mother was born in Kansas.

Point 2.  Mr Obama stated on the night of his win, he was born the son of immigrants.

Can’t have it both ways.  Your mom can’t be born in Kansas and still be an immigrant.  Sure, you could say his mother born in Kansas adopted him, but that then still turns us to Point 2. Should he have said he was born the son of an immigrant instead of immigrants? Mr Obama seems to have a hard time keeping on path with each story he tells. (EXAMPLE: “America can not afford this war” aprox 10 mins later “We need to go after Pakistan next”).

December 24, 1952, to November 13, 1986, the requirement to be a NATURAL BORN US Citizens stated that your parents had to be US Citizens, one Parent had to be a US Citizen if the other was an immigrant, you were born on a US military installation abroad if one of your parents was OCONUS and stationed overseas at the time of your birth; immigrants had to reside in the US for 5 years at the time of their child’s birth in the US for that child to be a natural born US Citizen.

We know his father was a Kenyan Citizen, here on a school visa. Allegedly, his father returned to Kenya after abandoning his family and attending Harvard in Boston. So, established his father was an immigrant here to attend school, not a US citizen. I use the term allegedly due to so many inconsitencies of a lot of things being told to us, we don’t know what the facts are since they seem to change from day to day.

Now, again, you are thinking how is this an illegal election?  Mr Obama was born in Hawaii….  Was he?  There is speculation that he was born in Kenya and arrived in Hawaii shortly after being born, and a birth certificate was “created”.  I have googled the questionable birth certificate and took a look.  It has been noted that the diamonds on the border are aprox 4 pixels off from other 1961 Hawaii birth certificates, and there is words on his that are different to the official ones, there is no official state seal, and ironically enough, it has been sealed. Shows that there is something to hide if you ask me. There is also the fact of his refusal to release it. Why? The American public has to provide a true copy of their birth certificate to get a driver’s license, apply for social security numbers, go to school, get married, etc, why shouldn’t a presidential candidate be required to do the same? Is one to assume that the president or any other government official are above the rest of us? No… technically, they are there to serve us. As we are the ones who employ them (we hire them, pay them with our tax money, etc, and in some cases fire them, like Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton before the Senate acquitted them. Yes folks, Clinton was impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives, at least Nixon had the honor to resign.)

Please look here at the beautifully done photoshop work on this birth certificate. As a photoshop user myself, I was VERY impressed.

You also do not need to be physically born in the state of Hawaii to get a Hawaiian birth certificate…
Interesing huh? Could be born on the moon and get a Hawaiian birth certificate.

Ok now lets go to the relevancy of the real matter shall we? Birth Certificate aside..

US Law very clearly states: ‘. . . If only one parent is a U.S. Citizen at the time of one’s birth, that parent must have resided in the United States for minimum ten years, five of which must be after the age of 16.’ We already know Mr Obama’s father was not a citizen.

Obama’s mother was only 18 when Obama was born. This means even though she had been a U.S. Citizen for 10 years, (or citizen of Hawaii being a territory), his mother fails the test for at-least-5-years- prior-to Barack Obama’s birth, but-after-age-16. According to that law that was on the books from December 24, 1952, to November 13, 1986, his mother would need to have been 21 in order for Obama to be a NATURAL BORN citizen. She did not meet the requirement to be a U.S. Citzen for 10 years prior to his birth on August 4, 1961, with 5 of those years being after age 16.

This is another interesting read, you will find public records that were deleted off of Wikipedia with in 35 mins after being posted, plus some other interesting facts about Ms Anne Dunham.

Would also like to point out that at one point, Mr Obama claimed to have had dual citizenship.

“When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.

Since Sen. Obama has neither renounced his U.S. citizenship nor sworn an oath of allegiance to Kenya, his Kenyan citizenship automatically expired on Aug. 4,1982.”

Am I on a witch hunt? No, not really. Am I being pissy because there is a non white guy in the White House came Jan? Nope, please see my first paragraph, second sentence. He can prove that he meets the criteria of our Constitution validly with out making it look suspicious, then I will conceed that I am wrong. Until that time, I am a citizen looking to defend my rights. This illegal election truly is the beginning of a major change in this country if we allow it it to continue.

I think the next change will be the abolishment of the 5th amendment, since America has so easily closed it’s eyes to our Constitution already. You know, the amendment that gives you the right to remain silent and not incriminate yourself, the right to a fair and speedy trail by jury of your peers; innocent until proven guilty; I believe Miranda was born from this amendment as well…

Then most likely the 1st will be tossed out the window. You know the one that gives us our voice, and freedom of religion and all that? Sure I know our government has done a crappy job with the seperation of church and state, but that to me is a minor issue as long as our rights remain intact. I practice Comanche Spirituality, and not a Christian myself. I would like the right to be able to continue to do that with out persecution.

That’s all I am doing with this post. Exercising my freedoms before they are taken from me, making my voice heard that I will and am willing to uphold our Constitution and freedoms that my family members and friends have fought and died for. Its not in the same way, but if it comes down to it, I hope that I am as brave as they are; not just a mouth of protest.

I simply want the truth, I want our government to know and remember they are not above us. They must be held to abide by the same rules and laws the rest of us are.

Our Constitution MUST be upheld. That’s the bottom line. I for one refuse to turn a blind eye to this. If you choose to do so, that’s your decision, just remember that you allowed it and don’t have the right to bitch about it.
