Here is my "Leave it to Beaver Life". My mother died when I was born. My grandmother who took me then to raise and who I adored died when I was 12. My beautiful stepmother and handsome father were not involved in my life at all but in being socially prominent, they didn't even contribute money to my grandparents. I lived then with my grandfather, a retired policeman who I loved and who died when I was 18. I was a serious kid who studied hard and worked after school and met the love of my life at 18. Sweetie has made my life so wonderful as we raised two beautiful daughters of very different abilities. We worked hard and had the usual sadness and some serious illnesses and we saved and hoped for the best. I was raised Lutheran and became Catholic when I was 18 and have not continuously attended Church. My faith comes and goes, but I am respectful of the solace and hope religion can bring.

I am very happy to be where I am with my treasured Sweetie and our dear daughter Helene.

It wasn't a Leave it to Beaver life, but pretty darn good for a little girl from the south side of Columbus, Ohio.

Gracie, I find it amazing how people jump to conclusions about others that they know nothing about. It seems especially easy on annoynomus forums.
Thank you for sharing your story.

'Unbiased' news from Aljazeera America? I doubt it."



Anyhow, if you do not want to watch Al-Jazeera America, just do what I do about Fox News - DON'T WATCH IT!

Jazeera is the modern day Tokyo Rose.

Imagine the President, during WWII allowing Tokyo Rose to broadcast on U.S. radio stations nation wide!!

I occasionally see what is being reported on the Al Jazeera US centered website and find their take to be informative but sometimes disturbing. They report a lot of world events that we don't always hear about on the mainstream media. BBC is another good alternative.

BTW, I can't blame Gore for selling the way he did. I've created a few losers in my life and if someone offered to buy just one of them for $70,000,000.00 I just might have let them take it off of my hands. Did Beck offer that much?

Glenn Beck and maybe others offered more, but Algore wanted to make the sale before the Capital Gains Taxes went up. Wanted to sell it right away before end of year. Glenn Beck pointed out how bad they were but welcomed them as freedom of Speech. Al Jaezra Russian TV and others have been broadcasting on Ch 56 in NOVA for years, MHz Network, carried by DirecTv as a local station, I watch the DeutscheWelle programs.

I read last month that Solidad O'Brien (from CNN) signed onto A.J. Gosh, that's a strange combination!

I've watched Al Jazeera for some time as well as BBC news. I enjoy varied perspectives and have not found their coverage to be offensive. Most news in the US in my lifetime seems to have turned into politically biased censorship and outright persuasion, which used to be called "yellow journalism," though I'm not so naïve as to think control of media was absent.

Very true. Watch the reporting of any topic on MSNBC and FOX. You will see and hear extremes from both sides neither of them reporting anywhere near the truth. Yet, loyal followers of both channels believe their version. I am open minded enough to listen to all viewpoints and make my own opinion. If either side would be correct,it would be time for a civil war. Great news is they are both full of hot air and only the small number of extremists on the two tracks buy into the lies. America is just fine.
