LIVING HISTORY: LO LO JONES WINS IT!!!

TONI S — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 11:59:57 +0000

“I was such a mental mess the night before,” she said. “Just thinking, ‘Am I healed from surgery? Am I fit? Am I in shape?’ Just to have this one under my belt and with such a tough field — it’s just a sigh of relief that all that hard work paid off.”

The heavy favorite in the 100 hurdles at the 2008 Olympics, Jones clipped the ninth hurdle, shattering her gold medal hopes in an instant. Before she could even dream about redemption at this summer’s London Games, she had to get back on the track. The 29-year-old Jones had surgery in August to fix a tethered spinal cord.

In the first few months afterward, when various parts of her body would hurt, Jones would “freak out” and fret to her doctor: “The surgery didn’t work. My career is ruined.”

“Typical athlete,” she said. “But he’s just like, ‘Calm down. Your body’s adjusting.’ And sure enough, after a week, things would go back to normal.”

NC: COMPENSATING THOSE THAT THEY STERILIZED…WITHOUT PATIENT CONSENT!!!!!

TONI S — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 12:10:42 +0000

7700 people were sterilized over a course of four decades in North Carolina. Eugenics is one of the oldest forms of population control known to man, however, in cases where states determined who they would allow the right to procreate borders goes way beyond the invasion on human rights.

WHAT IN THE WORLD>>

Can any amount of money bring back a life without life? How in the world did any government find this practice ethical? OTHER STATES PRACTICED STERILIZATION AS WELL. Why do they have this sister justifying this nonsense?
