So just how hard is it to skateboard? It’s basically just standing right? Doesn’t the board do all of the work for you? If you’re new to it, then maybe you’re wondering about these questions.

Have the right equipment! You may initially feel a bit uncool wearing the protective and safety gear like elbow pads, knee pads, shin guards, and brain box (helmut). After you start skating, not a lot of time will pass before you’re glad you’re wearing it. Just like riding a bike, you are going to fall off more than you are going to go forward–especially if you’ve never tried to skateboard before. Properly stopping your board will most likely give you more troubles than you want. In time, you may decide to lose some of the protective gear. But it’s still a great idea to keep the helmut on. You want some protection in case you get surprised by something and fall off. Being fit is one thing. You can look after your skin also with products such as Dermajuv Reviews and benefit in a number of ways.

But it’s good to try different styles and weights so you can really find one that works best for you.

They’ll know what the real story is!

We think strikes and demonstrations along with boycotts are very effective means of telling the powers that be how We The People generally feel about the management and leadership being provided for our nation.

On October 17th 2007 it was Shut It Down. On November 2nd 2007 it was Consumer Black Out. We now suggest we pick up the baton from writer Garret Keizer of Harper’s Magazine, who suggests November 6th as a date for a strike, by organizing a General Strike on Black Friday, November 23rd 2007, the day after Thanksgiving.

This is an uber powerful idea from our leader Henry T. Gandolph, Site Administrator.

Henry is a very wise man. He has come up with a solution to the quandary of when a general strike would have the most impact, and we really like the idea.

Henry says, “For the most impact, Friday, November 23rd would be the best day for a general strike! If everyone boycotts the stores it will send the whole country into a panic. If sales people refuse to work, how will they even open the stores? The whole Christmas sales season is prognosticated upon the the day after Thanksgiving sales. If We The People just withhold our holiday shopping on that day, We The People would surely get the media attention and the attention of the whole country including our political dictators. ” (They may not be 100% dictators in the classical sense but they truly love to dictate what we will do.)

On Friday, October 26, 2007, in an historic decision the members of the Georgia Supreme Court ruled 4-3 to release Genarlow Wilson age 21, from prison.

Wilson is the Atlanta man who has spent more than two years in prison for having oral sex relations with a consenting minor 15 year-old female at a party in 2005. At the time the incident took place he, himself, was 17, an honor student, football star and homecoming king at his school.

The majority opinion of the judicial panel decided upon Wilson’s release because his sentencing was excessive. In their opinion for the State of Georgia it was described as cruel and unusual punishment. At the time of his conviction Georgia law mandated the crime be punishable by 10 years in prison and registration as a sex offender. The law has since been changed by the legislature to something more reasonable. Those who come under Georgia law who are now found guilty of behaving in this manner face a punishment of no more than a year in prison and no sex offender registration. (more…)
