F New Jersey
The Following was posted on the NJ State home page. It appears that the State of NJ is now demanding that people appltying for their drivers license....to operate a vehicle...must "answer a few simple, yet potentially life-saving questions, regarding organ donation." and "they must check off a box acknowledging that they have reviewed the importance of making an organ donation decision." Ok, I know I'm a little slow...but what the FUCK does donating organs have to do with driving? And what does the State of NJ want to do next to infringe on the privacy and rights of it's citizens.
I for one CANNOT wait to get out of this overtaxed, privacy invading state...you folks who stay here...best of luck to ya.......
ACTING GOVERNOR CODEY SIGNS NEW JERSEY HERO ACT
Establishes State as Pioneer in Organ Donation
LIVINGSTON – Acting Governor Richard J. Codey today signed legislation that forges New Jersey’s standing as a pioneer in organ donation by requiring residents to make organ donation decisions before applying for a driver’s license and requires mandatory organ donation education for high school students.
“Our goal is to generate a collective awareness about the importance of organ donation so that those who want to donate will. Ultimately, we want to move this important conversation out of the emergency room, where illness and injury already create a profound burden, and into the living room, where a thoughtful and deliberate decision can be reached without the pain of loss looming on the horizon. Hopefully, one day organ donation will no longer be an afterthought, but a forethought,” said Acting Governor Codey.
The bill, S755/A2083 also known as the “New Jersey Hero Act,” creates an interactive component to the already existing Donate Life Registry provided by the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC). Approximately 23.53 % of New Jersey drivers/ID holders currently have the donor designation.
With the legislation every resident 18 years of age or older applying for a driver’s license or identification card is required to answer a few simple, yet potentially life-saving questions, regarding organ donation. If an individual is not ready to make that decision, they may designate a decision maker on their behalf. The designated decision maker component is not recorded in the MVC database, but will act much like a living will. If a person does not wish to become a donor or designate a decision maker on their behalf, they must check off a box acknowledging that they have reviewed the importance of making an organ donation decision. This process will be available in nine months but will not be mandatory for five years in order to allow for adequate public education.
Overall, the measure is a crucial component to increasing the number of organ donors in the Garden State because it alleviates certain fears that the donor decision will affect the quality of care received in an emergency room.
“The death of a loved one can be devastating to a family, but families of organ donors at least have a measure of solace in knowing their loved one’s final act was to give the gift of life to someone else in need,” said Senator Joseph F. Vitale (D-Middlesex), a sponsor of the Hero Act and Chair of the Senate Health Committee. “Through these new laws, we’re raising the dialogue about organ donation, and ensuring that New Jerseyans talk to their loved ones about the possibility of becoming a donor. By increasing awareness of organ donation programs, we can maximize participation and save lives.”
The bill also incorporates a comprehensive education component at the high school and collegiate levels. Under the NJ Hero Act, New Jersey is the first state to incorporate mandatory organ donation education into the high school core curriculum, beginning with the 2009-2010 school year. At the collegiate level, institutions of higher education will be required to provide information on New Jersey’s organ donor policies through student health services.
“By increasing outreach and education, all New Jerseyans will be able to make better-informed decisions regarding organ and tissue donation,” said Assemblyman McKeon (D-Essex). “Ensuring every resident knows the vital importance of organ donation will make it easier for many more people to take the simple but truly heroic step that can help save a life.”
As of March 2008, 4,341 New Jersey residents were awaiting organ transplants. In 2007, 692 New Jersey residents received 696 lifesaving organ transplants; 195 New Jersey residents became organ donors that same year. More than 2,470 New Jersey residents have died on the organ donor waiting list over the last 10 years.
Assembly sponsors of the bill include Assemblymen John F. McKeon (D-Essex), Albert Coutinho (D-Essex/Union) and Patrick Diegnan, Jr. (D-Middlesex) and Assemblywoman Mila M. Jasey (D-Essex).

Proud Day
Today, I will sit among hundreds of other parents watching my daughter receive her degree from Monmouth University. Not
having accomplished that same goal, I am beaming with pride. A few of you who know of this, have congratulated ME and I
realize that this is one of our cultures usual response to this accomplishment but in reality, all the accolades should to go
to my daughter Kristen.
It was her hard work and determination that have gotten her to this achievement and she deserves all the praise that she can
handle.
For those of you who don't know her...she is a shy, petite 4'10",..ok, mabye 4'10 1/2"...quiet person...well,
sometimes....but, as with all children, I have a special story that I just have to tell you, now that you know her
stature.....of course she will probably give me one of those "I can't believe you told this story" looks...anyway..we were at
the movies one day....just sitting there, enjoying the flick..don't remember what it was but it must have been good cause we
were intently watching it....as we sat there, a group of teenagers, maybe 6 in all, were 2 rows behind us, talking...loudly
enough for people to look, but not say anything...now, I was letting it go, figuring they would stop, sometime soon...well,
they didn't, and I could see it was starting to get to Kris cause she looked back more than once....so, it continued for a
few minutes...and I was getting to the point where I was going to go over to them and suggest that it would be in their best
interest to quiet down....but before I could, my quiet, shy, reserved daughter, get's up, turns around and says to them '
"WHY DON'T YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP"...does the phrase, "knocked me over with a feather"...mean anything...well, as you can
imagine...I KNEW it was time to get someone to remove these kids from the theater, for their own safety.....from that little
frame came the authority of a person more fitting my size 6'2"...was I proud, hell yeah...not so much for what was said, but
from how it was said....basically it was "Don't fuck with me"...
So I sit today, with hundreds of other parents, knowing that my little shy, petite child, will go out into the world having
all the knowledge that has been imparted to her from one of the finest Universities in NJ, and for all the hours she has
spent in lecture halls and all the papers she has written, and all the hours studying....and she will say to the
world.....you guessed it....."DON'T FUCK WITH ME I'M A COLLEGE GRADUATE"...and I say to her......i AM PROUD OF YOU

Air Wasters
I found the following article on Neatorama, a blog I read daily. I know it's not PC to profile but C'MON people....are these halfwitted, lowlifes procreating...and when they do, THIS is what they think? We have to do something realistic about the gang situation...this, getting to know these assholes and what their problems are is for the fucking birds....you wanna join a Gang...I got one for ya...the "I don't have a life and shouldn't be allowed to Live" gang....if you are going to join a violent club, then let's give them what they want, death by violence...take them out to a nice quiet place and execute them like they would rival gang members to "make their bones"...let's make our "bones" and treat them like they should be.
"Parents normally fight to keep their children out of gangs, but not this one: the mother is a Crip, and the father is a Westside Baller. And they got into a fight over which gang their 4-year-old toddler should join!
On Saturday, Joseph Manzanares stormed into the Hollywood Video store where his girlfriend worked, threatened to kill her and knocked over several video displays and even a computer, Commerce City police Sgt. Joe Sandoval said. […]
His girlfriend told police that they had been arguing about the upbringing of their son and which gang he should belong to. The teen mother, who is black, is a member of the Crips. Manzanares is Hispanic and belongs to the Westside Ballers gang, the woman said.
"They have different ideas on how the baby should be raised. Basically, she said they cannot agree on which gang the baby would ‘claim,’"Sandoval said."
