When you, the listener, see the list of players from Game Five, you’ll notice 2/3 of them aren’t Cards anymore.

David Eckstein SS
Chris Duncan RF
Preston Wilson LF
Albert Pujols 1B
Jim Edmonds CF
Scott Rolen 3B
Ronnie Belliard 2B
Yadier Molina C
So Taguchi LF-RF
Jeff Weaver P
Scott Spiezio PH
Adam Wainwright P

Loyalty to any one sports team is pretty hard to justify. Because the players are always changing, the team can move to another city, you’re actually rooting for the clothes when you get right down to it. You know what I mean, you are standing and cheering and yelling for your clothes to beat the clothes from another city. Fans will be so in love with a player but if he goes to another team, they boo him. This is the same human being in a different shirt, they *hate* him now. Boo! different shirt!! Boo.

Subject: Harmful Parasites Living and Breeding In Your Stomach

Japan refuses to accept a single export from the United States in meat & dairy produce!

Now, what does that tell you?

That you’re a liar.

That Japan is snobby? Nope! That Japan citizens hate milk and meat?

Japan imported over 170,000 million Yen worth of meat from the United States in 2006.

Come on, you know better than that!

I do know better than that. It took me just a few minutes on Google to find the truth.

What it REALLY tells you is that the Government of Japan is on to something few (if any) people really know about! - That our foods have been filled with “unnatural” things that they aren’t supposed to have!

What it really tells me is you’re a liar.

What you may not really be ready to accept is the fact that someone IS already poisoning your mom, your dad, your brothers and your sisters, and your closest friends and getting away with it!

Harmful Parasites - Everybody has them. If left to live and breed inside your stomach, small and large intestines and colon, they will eventually cause you to puff up, gain lots of weight, get sick more often, and take many, many years off your life!

They use your body as a ‘Food Storehouse’ and so they can live and breed by the millions. But now it’s time to flush them out and down the toilet for good. If you don’t they will just make you fatter and much, much sicker!

Would you trust anything living in your bowels that has teeth but NO eyes?!!

Free Energy Scam

A free energy scam gets by the spam filter…

Subject: We Open The Door For You To FREE-ENERGY

We offer a cost effective, immediate solution to the “energy crisis” and pollution - right now.

If you actually had an effective, immediate solution to the “energy crisis” and pollution, I seriously doubt you’d to sell it via spam.

Something YOU can do NOW, using water technology provides you with a great ENTRY-LEVEL solution you can install in a few minutes without engine modifications, you start driving, and the next thing you know - you start thinking: “Hey, something CAN be done about it!”

I don’t expect you to believe in 100% watercars. You see, your belief level has to rise step by step. Free energy is hard to believe until it’s actually happening under your own hood. Until you see it in your energy bills. In April 2006 I was skeptic too. So start with this first easy step.

Free energy is hard to believe - There’s a pretty good reason why free energy is hard to believe.

We open the door for you - Welcome to FREE ENERGY!

St. Louis Court Ruling

COURT RULING: St. Louis, MO - October 19, 2007

St. Louis, MO (AP) - A seven year old boy was at the center of a St. Louis courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him.

The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with the child custody law and regulations requiring that family unity be maintained to the degree possible.

The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried out that they also beat him.

After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the Judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him.

After two recesses to check legal references and confer with child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the St. Louis Rams, who the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.
