HAPPY 95th BIRTHDAY TATA MANDELA

Today we celebrate the birthday of an international icon our very own father of Africa - Tata Nelson Mandela fondly known as Madiba here in South Africa. (Tata = Grandfather)
This inspirational icon has given so much for this country and other countries have taken his ethos and used it for their nation as well. We thank him for his sacrifice. Not being to live a "normal" life imprisoned on Robben Island in Table Bay, Cape Town for so many years, daily looking at the backdrop of this stunning mountain, where I am sure he found peace in his soul, as this mountain has been rumoured to have healing properties.
Working in that lime quarry, burning his eyes with its reflective white brilliance, damaging his eyes.
Tata at 95 you have given the whole planet such joy, we hope that this day will truly be celebrated around the world with the 67 minutes we are encouraged to spend do good helping others. You gave 13996800+ minutes - what is 67!
The world thanks you for being just YOU - TATA MADIBA! GO WELL TODAY.

WORLD RHINO DAY 22ND SEPT

Today is WORLD RHINO DAY - 22nd SEPT 2010. it is with sadness that I write this, shame as well, as South Africans have been caught killing and poaching Rhino Horns in our National Parks. I am also very angry at these men, as they are professional people who should know better and have done this for greed alone! MONEY the scourge of society. So far 2 vets, a game ranger and others have been involved. I hope the vets are struck from their professional register and that the game ranger is never given an opportunity to work in the industry again. BLACK LIST them. Also NAME & SHAME then.
I believe in COMMUNITY work for all offenders, none of this sitting around watching TV, getting 3 meals a day and a warm bed, while the poor are suffering out there. Get them to work to build houses, make bricks, do woodwork for making the furniture to go into these houses.

Or as my Dad would say send them to the KAROO, to live in open jails. Cold in winter and very hot in summer. Or as the Sheriff in one USA state did have an open jail and make then all wear a colour they hate. They have disgraced our rainbow nation, how about rainbow colours, mostly the pinkish shades.

Now back to the RHINO which is what it is all about. Please educate kids and people that the horns of a RHINO are made from the same substance your nails are made from - SO GO CHEW YOUR OWN NAILS - those of the world that think that RHINO HORN is an aphrodisiac - you really have your head up your .....

But really, what idiot takes what is equivalent to nail shavings, grinds it up and drinks it to get it up - OH PLEASE get real and save these magnificent creatures from extinction.

STOP THE KILLING OF RHINO
STOP THE SELLING OF THE HORNS
DO YOUR PART
BE REAL MEN,
NOT SISSIES
STOP KILLING OUR WILDLIFE
