For the first time in history, Congress will not allow an increase in
The social security COLA (cost of living adjustment). In fact, The
Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation predicts there may not be any COLA
for the next three years. However, the per person monthly Medicare
Insurance premium will be increased from the 2009 premium of $96.40 to
$104.20 in 2010 and to $120.20 for the year 2011.


Let's send this to all senior that you know remind them not to vote
for the incumbent senators and congressmen in the 2010 and the 2012
Elections.


And don't forget - CONGRESS GAVE THEMSELVES A PAY RAISE THIS YEAR...

WHAT KIND OF CRAP IS THAT??????
 
This is an unbelievable twist of fate!!!! At the 1994 annual awards dinner

given for Forensic Science, AAFS President Dr. Don Harper Mills astounded

his audience with the legal complications of a bizarre death. Here is the

story:




On March 23, 1994...... the medical examiner viewed the body of Ronald

Opus, and concluded that he died from a shotgun wound to the head. Mr.

Opus had jumped from the top of a ten-story building intending to commit

suicide..




He left a note to the effect indicating his despondency. As he fell past

the ninth floor, his life was interrupted by a shotgun blast passing

through a window, which killed him instantly.




Neither the shooter nor the deceased was aware that a safety net had been

installed just below the eighth floor level to protect some building

workers and that Ronald Opus would not have been able to complete his

suicide the way he had planned.




"Ordinarily," Dr Mills continued, "Someone who sets out to commit suicide

and ultimately succeeds, even though the mechanism might not be what he

intended, is still defined as committing suicide."





That Mr. Opus was shot on the way to certain death, but probably would not

have been successful because of the safety net, caused the medical

examiner to feel that he had a homicide on his hands.




The room on the ninth floor, where the shotgun blast emanated, was

occupied by an elderly man and his wife. They were arguing vigorously, and

he was threatening her with a shotgun! The man was so upset that when he

pulled the trigger, he completely missed his wife, and the pellets went

through the window, striking Mr. Opus. When one intends to kill subject

"A" but kills subject "B" in the attempt, one is guilty of the murder of

subject "B."




When confronted with the murder charge, the old man and his wife were both

adamant, and both said that they thought the shotgun was not loaded. The

old man said it was a long-standing habit to threaten his wife with the

unloaded shotgun. He had no intention to murder her. Therefore the killing

of Mr. Opus appeared to be an accident; that is, assuming the gun had been

accidentally loaded.




The continuing investigation turned up a witness who saw the old couple's

son loading the shotgun about six weeks prior to the fatal accident..



It transpired that the old lady had cut off her son's financial support

and the son, knowing the propensity of his father to use the shotgun

threateningly, loaded the gun with the expectation that his father would

shoot his mother.




Since the loader of the gun was aware of this, he was guilty of the murder

even though he didn't actually pull the trigger. The case now becomes one

of murder on the part of the son for the death of Ronald Opus.



Now comes the exquisite twist... Further investigation revealed that the

son was, in fact, Ronald Opus. He had become increasingly despondent over

the failure of his attempt to engineer his mother's murder. This led him

to jump off the ten-story building on March 23rd, only to be killed by a

shotgun blast passing through the ninth story window.



The son, Ronald Opus, had actually murdered himself. So the medical

examiner closed the case as a suicide.
