WASHINGTON (CNN) — The number of Americans who think the country’s economy is currently in very poor shape is on the rise, according to a new national poll. But the CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey released Thursday also indicates that a growing number of Americans think the worst of the recession is over.

A Daughter’s letter to Father.
A father passing by his teenage daughter’s bedroom was astonished to see the
bed was nicely made and everything was neat and tidy.Then he saw an envelope propped up prominently on the centre of the pillow..
It was addressed “Dad”. With the worst premonition, he opened the envelope
and read the letter with trembling hands:-Dear Dad,
It is with great regret and sorrow that I’m writing you, but I’m leaving
home. I had to elope with my new boyfriend Randy because I wanted to avoid a
scene with Mom and you.
I’ve been finding real passion with Randy and he is so nice to me. I know
when you meet him you’ll like him too – even with all his piercing, tattoos,
and motorcycle clothes. But it’s not only the passion Dad, I’m pregnant and
Randy said that he wants me to have the kid and that we can be very happy
together.
Even though Randy is much older than me (anyway, 42 isn’t so old these days
is it? ), and has no money, really these things shouldn’t stand in the way
of our relationship, don’t you agree?Randy has a great CD collection; he already owns a trailer in the woods and
has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. It’s true he has other
girlfriends as well but I know he’ll be faithful to me in his own way. He
wants to have many more children with me and that’s now one of my dreams
too..Randy taught me that marijuana doesn’t really hurt anyone and he’ll be
growing it for us and we’ll trade it with our friends for all the cocaine
and ecstasy we want. In the meantime, we’ll pray that science will find a
cure for AIDS so Randy can get better; he sure deserves it!!Don’t worry Dad, I’m 15 years old now and I know how to take care of myself.
Someday I’m sure we’ll be back to visit so you can get to know your
grandchildren.Your loving daughter,
Rosie.At the bottom of the page were the letters ” PTO”.
Hands still trembling, her father turned the sheet, and read:
PS:
Dad, none of the above is true. I’m over at the neighbour’s house. I just
wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than my report card
that’s in my desk centre drawer. Please sign it and call when it is safe for
me to come home.I love you!

Freedom to Disagree.
People should be allowed to express their views, unless proscribed by the State on grounds of National security.Fight ideas with ideas ,do not gag and make him a hero.
Freedom iof speech is about allowing peopleto air their views and rebutting them.“>Story:
Protesters are expected to picket BBC Television Centre in London later ahead of the appearance of BNP leader Nick Griffin on Question Time.Cabinet minister Peter Hain’s appeal to the BBC Trust to stop Mr Griffin appearing was rejected on Wednesday.
The trust said it was a “question of editorial judgement” whether it was appropriate for the BNP to appear.
But BBC head Mark Thompson said the case against having the BNP on Question Time is “a case for censorship”.
Writing in Thursday’s Guardian newspaper, Mr Thompson added only governments could decide which organisations should be banned from the airwaves.

Man robs shop on way to interrogation: German police-Hilarious!
‘A 41-year-old man in Germany due to face questioning over theft got himself in even more trouble by squeezing in another robbery on the way to the police station, police said.
“It was a case of ‘just nipping out to do a bit of thieving before being interrogated for shoplifting’,” police in the western region of Lippe said Tuesday.
Officers were following up a supermarket robbery in the town of Blomberg with detailed descriptions of two thieves and their getaway car when they had to return to the police station.
To their amazement, they said they discovered a man at the reception waiting to be interrogated for shoplifting who looked suspiciously like one of the pair wanted for the morning raid.
Outside, they said they found his accomplice sitting with the stolen goods in a car with the matching number plate.
Now the man faces a second set of charges, police said.’
