QUOTE: Democrat George S. McGovern, a war hero who opposed the Vietnam War, was crushed by President Richard Nixon's Watergate-tainted campaign. A die-hard idealist, McGovern inspired scores of budding politicians. Neither did he give up his devotion to liberalism or what colleagues called his extraordinary sense of decency. WWII hero. Adamant against Vietnam War. Newly elected President John F. Kennedy asked McGovern to open an agency to send surplus food abroad. By late 1961, McGovern had Kennedy's Food for Peace program operating in a dozen countries. It was one of McGovern's proudest achievements.
In 1962, he became the first Democrat elected to the Senate from South Dakota in 26 years. His chief interest was world peace. He challenged "our Castro fixation," decried America's capacity for nuclear "overkill" and proposed a $4-billion reduction in the U.S. defense budget. He also supported Medicare, school lunches and the war on poverty. An extraordinary American... and many of us who totally adore our troops and those who serve.... are so tired.... so how do our incredible troops feel.... God bless our Canada Military, Militia, Reservists, Rangers of the North, Special Forces .... thank u. Thx Doreen 4 the magnificent share....

HOTEL CALIFORNIA- 1976- BEST QUOTE OF OUR 60s and early 70s- Lost soul, high, in desert of lost hope, is spiritually dying, but sees a hotel, like a mission church, with a beautiful woman, death, inviting him inside to rest. Heaven or Hell, guided by Death, he hears other residents welcoming him to their lost world. California or californication is often a symbol for a lost cursed land of plenty but wasted, in its ruined beauty it seduces lost souls to their ruin. Lady Death has all the riches of Benzs and her vapid pretty boys, empty of feelings, the "guests" dance in the heat of Hell. The wine/spirit of 1969 is gone, the idealism of the Sixties, abandoned to empty pleasures that need excuses to tolerate. The room is copy of brothel with champagne riches. The people there put themselves there via empty chases after sensation and that lure keeps them chasing. They try to eat and kill their sins, but The Beast, Satan, can not be killed. Escape is impossible. You can check out, die, anytime but can never escape your wasted life.
The Eagles Hotel California [Remastered] 01 Hotel California-1969
• Written by Don Felder, Glenn Frey and Don Henley, this song is about materialism and excess. California is used as the setting, but it could relate to anywhere in America. Don Henley in the London Daily Mail November 9, 2007 said: "Some of the wilder interpretations of that song have been amazing. It was really about the excesses of American culture and certain girls we knew. But it was also about the uneasy balance between art and commerce."
On November 25, 2007 Henley appeared on the TV news show 60 Minutes, where he was told, "everyone wants to know what this song means." Henley replied: "I know, it's so boring. It's a song about the dark underbelly of the American Dream, and about excess in America which was something we knew about."
He offered yet another interpretation in the 2013 History of the Eaglesdocumentary: "It's a song about a journey from innocence to experience."

proving that disabilities are abilities in disguise...
In 1976 , the Olympiad for the Physically
Disabled, in which over 1,500 athletes from 38 countries took part, ended in
the Toronto suburb of Etobicoke.
Olympics and Olympiad (Now Paralympics) 1976
2015 PARAPAN AM GAMES- TORONTO - 2015 TORONTO
QUOTE: “I’m hoping any televised para-sport encourages anyone in a chair, or anyone, whatever their disability, to get out and try sport,” Van Nest said. “Because it’s the healthiest thing really, for your mind, for your body. It enhances your life. And you learn so many skills.”
Archer hopes Games inspire kids to try sports
But the fact there was several hundred fans, including a crowded row of children that sat in wheelchairs at field level of Varsity Stadium, wasn’t lost on the 52-year-old from Wiarton, Ont.
Van Nest won silver in archery, and blamed jitters for partially costing her gold.
But to the Canadian, who was slow to join sports after a motorcycle accident in 1985 left her an amputee, said the exposure Paralympic sport is getting in Toronto is a victory in itself.
“I’m hoping any televised para-sport encourages anyone in a chair, or anyone, whatever their disability, to get out and try sport,” Van Nest said. “Because it’s the healthiest thing really, for your mind, for your body. It enhances your life. And you learn so many skills.”
A victory Monday meant a berth in next summer’s Rio Olympics. Jane Karla Gogel of Brazil won gold, outscoring Van Nest 140-132.
Van Nest will have a couple more opportunities to secure a berth in Rio, which would be Paralympic appearance No. 5 for the multitalented Canadian, who competed in three Paralympics in pistol shooting, won a world championship silver medal in rowing, and made her first Paralympic appearance in archery in 2012 in London.
She wasn’t always so active.
It was almost a decade after her accident that Van Nest summoned the wherewithal to get active, sparked when her sister encouraged her to get up and dance at a wedding.
“I loved dancing. And that’s when I went, ‘OK, if I can dance, I can certainly do other things,“’ she said.
“I had been stuck. I got stuck for about eight or nine years of not doing, not participating because I was uncomfortable. I wasn’t really encouraged to be active and I didn’t want to try, because I was afraid I’d fail. So I didn’t do anything, which is a shame,” Van Nest said. “There was depression, anger, an adjustment of feeling sorry for myself, a combination of all those things in the grieving process.
“And I didn’t know any other disabled people. And I was afraid. I think embarrassed too about being disabled.”
Van Nest was 23 and travelling across Canada with her family to Edmonton — she was on her motorcycle, her parents and brother were in a van up ahead — when she collided with a pickup truck near Brandon, Man. The pickup was passing a tractor trailer on a bend. Fearful she’d veer into the guard rail of wire rope and wood posts, Van Nest focused on staying on the road.
“I almost got there, but his back bumper caught my leg, I ended up going right through the guard rail anyways, and kept going,” she said.
She was friends with an avid hunter and joined a shooting club in Brampton, Ont., making Canada’s Paralympic team in 1998. She was fourth at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, missing a medal by seven-tenths of a point. She finished fifth four years later in Athens, and then, hampered by a shoulder injury that would force her to give up pistol, finished 10th in Beijing.
While in Beijing, Canada’s archers invited her out to watch their competition.
“Kevin Evans was in a shootout, and the whole crowd was looking at just them,” Van Nest said. “And it just seemed like a totally different atmosphere.”
Evans, from Jaffray, B.C., was beaten 141-138 by American Ben Thompson on Monday.
Both Van Nest and Evans regularly compete against and train with able-bodied archers — the two versions of the sport aren’t markedly different.
Van Nest, wearing sports sunglasses, her hair pulled back in a braid under a cap, shot in a standing position on a prosthetic leg. Gogel shot from a wheelchair.
While she doesn’t see herself as a role model, she’s often reminded that she is. She doesn’t miss a chance to talk about the benefits of sports. Van Nest has perpetual back pain, caused by misalignment from walking on a prosthetic limb.
“(Sports) just helps me, if I’m not working out I’m miserable,” she said. “It just keeps you sane. You have goals, you work toward those goals, and you just keep challenging yourself and that’s what I enjoy about sport: doing better and better and better. That’s the goal, to be the best that I can be.”

Swimmers Devin Gotell, Danial Murphy win medals at Parapan Games
McAllister, who has bone tumours which restrict the growth and range of motion of his arms and legs, said his racing needs some tinkering.
“I started well but kind of died off at the end,” he said. “We will try to fix that. It’s going to be a close race tonight.”
Sabrina Duchesne of Quebec City, leads four Canadian women into the S7-8 400-m freestyle final.
Duchesne, the youngest on the team at 14, swam a person best time of 5:25.54 to be the fastest in qualifying.
