5 Things That Have Actually Gone Wrong On Halloween
There's a running joke between our friends that whenever my wife and I have a Halloween Party, something bad happens. I guess it is sort of true. In the past few years, we've had a bit of bad luck when it comes to Halloween Parties. In 2008, on the night of our party, my wife was rear-ended on her way home from work and had to stand on the side of the road in her costume for over an hour. In 2010, I had to make a visit to the emergency room the day before our party for a problem with my leg. And, the piece de resistance, in 2009, I DROPPED OVER DEAD in the middle of our Halloween Party, had CPR done on me for 20 minutes, and then had to be life flighted to a hospital, where I stayed until Thanksgiving!

Dark Secrets: We KNEW About The Holocaust And DID Nothing.
Shamefully, the United States, Britain, and Russia knew that the Germans, during World War Two, were killing the Jews in Concentration Camps and did nothing about it. I had never heard about this until recently, and was shocked with the knowledge. How could our leaders have allowed for such a travesty of humanity to continue without trying to put a stop to it? While the first major killings began in 1940, this did not come to public knowledge until 1944. How many lives could have been saved had someone listened on done something about it. Here are five points behind this dark secret. Read more...
