******* REVIVAL FIRE!!! *******    

This is another example of falling for incorrect information.  If you'll check snopes.com, you'll see this is False.  It's been attributed to Jay Leno as well. --- On Thu, 10/30/08, Keith Gaetz <prptkg@citytel.net> wrote: From: Keith Gaetz <prptkg@citytel.net> Subject: [revival-fire] FW: David Letterman' s Comments...

We are so blessed.   ,,,   VERY WORTH PASSING ON !!   ************************************************ David Letterman' s comments...    David Letterman wrote this; it's the David we  don't often see...    ' As most of you know I am not a President  Bush fan, nor have I ever been, but this is not  about Bush, it is about us, as Americans, and it  seems to hit the mark.    'The other day I was reading Newsweek  magazine and came across some Poll data I found  rather hard to believe. It must be true given  the source, right?    The Newsweek poll alleges that 67  percent of Americans are unhappy with the  direction the country is headed and 69 percent of  the country is unhappy with the performance of  the President. In essence 2/3 of the citizenry  just ain't happy and want a change. So being the  knuckle dragger I am, I started thinking, 'What  are we so unhappy about?''    A.. Is it that we have electricity and  running water 24 hours a day, 7 Days a week?    B.. Is our unhappiness the result of  having air conditioning in the summer and heating  in the winter?    C.. Could it be that 95.4 percent of  these unhappy folks have a job?    D.. Maybe it is the ability to walk  into a grocery store at any time and see more  food in moments than Darfur has seen in the last  year?    E.. Maybe it is the ability to drive our  cars and trucks from the Pacific Ocean to the  Atlantic Ocean without having to present  identification papers as we move through each  state?    F.. Or possibly the hundreds of clean  and safe motels we would find along the way that  can provide temporary shelter?    G.. I guess having thousands of  restaurants with varying cuisine from around the  world is just not good enough either.    H. Or could it be that when we wreck  our car, emergency workers show up and provide  services to help all and even send a helicopter  to take you to the hospital.    I.. Perhaps you are one of the 70  percent of Americans who own a home.    J.. You may be upset with knowing that  in the unfortunate case of a fire, a group of  trained firefighters will appear in moments and  use top notch equipment to extinguish the flames,  thus saving you, your family, and your  belongings.    K.. Or if, while at home watching one  of your many flat screen TVs, a burglar or  prowler intrudes, an officer equipped with a gun  and a bullet-proof vest will come to defend you  and your family against attack or loss.    L.. This all in the backdrop of a  neighborhood free of bombs or militias raping and  pillaging the residents. Neighborhoods where  90% of teenagers own cell phones and computers.    M.. How about the complete religious,  social and political freedoms we enjoy that are  the envy of everyone in the world?    Maybe that is what has 67% of you folks  unhappy.    Fact is, we are the largest group of  ungrateful, spoiled brats the world has ever  seen. No wonder the world loves the U.S. , yet  has a great disdain for its citizens. They see  us for what we are. The most blessed people in  the world who do nothing but complain about what  we don't have, and what we hate about the country  instead of thanking the good Lord we live here.    I know, I know. What about the  president who took us into war and has no plan to  get us out? The president who has a measly 31  percent approval rating? Is this the same  president who guided the nation in the dark days  after 9/11? The president that cut taxes to  bring an economy out of recession? Could this  be the same guy who has been called every name in  the book for succeeding in keeping all the  spoiled ungrateful brats safe from terrorist  attacks? The commander in chief of an  all-volunteer army that is out there defending  you and me?    Did you hear how bad the President is  on the news or talk show? Did this news affect  you so much, make you so unhappy you couldn't  take a look around for yourself and see all the  good things and be glad? Think about  it......are you upset at the President because he  actually caused you personal pain OR is it  because the 'Media' told you he was failing to  kiss your sorry ungrateful behind every day.  Make no mistake about it.    The troops in Iraq and Afghanistan have  volunteered to serve, and in many cases may have  died for your freedom. There is currently no  draft in this country. They didn't have to go..  They are able to refuse to go and end up with  either a ''general'' discharge, an 'other than  honorable'' discharge or, worst case scenario, a  ''dishonorable' ' discharge after a few days in  the brig.    So why then the flat-out discontentment  in the minds of 69 percent of Americans?    Say what you want but I blame it on the  media. If it bleeds it leads and they  specialize in bad news. Everybody will watch a  car crash with blood and guts How many will  watch kids selling lemonade at the corner? The  media knows this and media outlets are for-profit  corporations. They offer what sells, and when  criticized, try to defend their actions by  'justifying' them in one way o r a nother Just ask  why they tried to allow a murderer like O.J.  Simpson to write a book about how he didn't kill  his wife, but if he did he would have done it  this way......Insane!    Turn off the TV, burn Newsweek, and use the New  York Times for the bottom of your bird cage.  Then start being grateful for all we have as  country. There is exponentially more good than  bad. We are among the most blessed people on  Earth and should thank God several times a day,  or at least be thankful and appreciative.' 'With  hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud  slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up  the country from one end to another, and with the  threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, 'Are we  sure this is a good time to take God out of the  Pledge of Allegiance?'    David Letterman     Please keep this in circulation. There  are so many people who need to read this and grasp the truth of  it all.   ***************************** *****************************           No virus found in this incoming message.
