There is an old saying, "Don't Buy a Pig in a Poke"
This goes back to Medieval times when baby pigs were sold in pokes and sometimes what was in the poke was not a pig at all but a Cat.
Which also lead to the saying, "Letting the Cat Out of the Bag" which means Finding Out the Truth.
When you think of it, it's hard to understand how people living so close to the land would fall for such a scam.
But one version I read, said that these transactions were not done in broad daylight in markets, but in the dead of night in a rushed manner due to the heavy Taxation of the Day.
That sound familiar??
On May 3 we are going to be given a poke to buy and there is a strange rush about the whole matter.,
My Father used to say that Big Decisions you needed to Sleep On. Meaning take your time and find out all the details.
He said if they rushed you and you could not "Sleep on it"?
Might be Best to Just Say No.
All of the details are here.
There is too much that is vauge about this new Lost Extenion.,
They are in too much of a hurry.
The original 5 year plan we just passed does not exprire until 2014, but we must extend it 20 more years
NOW!
I find myself remembering what my Father and those who came before him said
Sleep on it or Say No
and
Don't Buy a Pig In a Poke
Now there are some Good People who have been trying to look inside this Poke you can find them
at
You might want to take a look at whatr they found when they
Looked insde Poke to Try to Let the Cat Out of the Bag.
They are a much smaller grassroots movement than the Yes side.
You can tell that because they have been outspent 100 to 1 in their efforts to get their message out.
And it might interest you to know MANY of them are
Flood Victims
and
They ARE NOT HAPPY
With the way things have been going so far and
Think We Can Do Better.
