P.S. Hillary? Now that's a scary thought.
If she becomes president( which will never happen, especially after that ridiculous attempt to speak like a southern black person the other day, just to get votes), I will move to Canada.....LOL
Well there are 2 things i don't know for sure yet: First, i don't know if they are going to create the Global Superlottery...Second, I don't know if is going to pay 1 large lump sum of a trillion dollars and make a person a Trillionaire or they are going to divide 1 trillion dollars into 100 million dollars and give it away...
But if they are going to make a person a TRiLLIONAIRE, then to all women that believe in female empowerment, "You need to get involve in this"...This is the biggest thing ever...Women get all excited when a female President becomes Presidents of any developing country...and ask yourself something: What do you prefer: Do you prefer to see a women President in a Central America country or do you prefer to see a woman TRILLIONAIRE?Who can impact the world or a region more a female president or a female Trillionaire?A Trillionaire can sponsor in a region women runners for the presidency and thus win...A president of a central american country can't do that...A trillionaire can "fix" Global Warming a president of a central american country can't do that (Except for presidents of the seven G7 countries....Been a Trillionaire is "TOO MUCH POWER"....[notice guys, that i said presidents in Central America and not presidents from the G7/G8 countries]...A Trillionaire can fix the women problems that they got in a country, in any country....It can start or promote with sucess female empowerment....A Trillionaire can do lots of things...
That's why women need to advertise to other women in other countries to play the Trillion Dollar Lotto...Because someone posted that in the States in the lotto "The odds are in favor of the men since 68% of pathological or compulsive gamblers are men, and only 32% women." .....I think it was Surge
And if 68% of men are compulsive gamblers and only 32% of women are gamblers in the world then you are "not going to see" a woman win the trillion dollar lotto...( I don't know if this is the scenario around the world but i think the percentage is much lower for women)...You have to understand that in the U.S more people play the lotto than in any country in the world (and the population is more liberal than most nations)...
Out of the 39 new billionaires of 2006 i think only 1 was a women (Joan H. Tisch)...
I am black and I will like to see a black trillionaire and that's why i am planning to write (emailing) to the NAACP, to Bet, to all embassies of all the countries in & from Africa to tell their respective countries to get involve in this Trillion Dollar Lotto and attemp to be one or some of the countries anexed to the 50 countries that have already petition to play the game...
I'll like to also see a Christian "Trillionaire" but the only Christians i am going to see playing the trillion dollar lotto are the ones from the U.S (Christians in the States are more liberal than the rest of the world, and that's if the States is chosen as one of the 50 countries that will be playing the lottery)....
I would write to a Female Empowerment association but i can't find no association like that on the internet...Again i am going to reiterate: "to be a Trillionaire is A LOT OF POWER"...
The interest on 1 Trillion dollars is 60 Billion dollars (6%)...More money than Bill Gate's entire Fortune....And that's every years that you will be getting those 60 Billion Dollars...LOL..And becareful is not 10% for someone told me that people with lots of money don't get 6% interest on their money from the bank...LOL...
I am going to be critized for this post, but I can see things others in this post can't...Why i am for women power? Because growing up i mostly saw my mother sick, and i always thought of her as fragile and week the same way i think of most women and that i will not wish it to no woman in the world...My mother is not sick no more and she has been doing great for the last 4 years...
"Laura Simpson from Great Lakes, Illinois deserves to be rich...." "She is so rare..."
w...t...f...?
One, money is not the solution to every problem. It may...MAY help solve the problem faster or nudge it to the 'right' direction, but it is FAR from being a cure. It is absolutely foolish and naive to believe that with enough money, anything can be "fixed."
Two, political leaders have FAR more historical significance and influence than the wealthy. Granted, money CAN be used to aid political influence, however it is by no means the only and parameount instrument in guiding the course of history.
Example: Think about all the most influential persons in history and see how many of them were wealthy and used money as a primary means of influence:
Muhammad
Jesus Christ
Albert Einstein
Buddha
Aristotle
Gandhi
Beethoven
Homer
Wright brothers
Shakespeare
Hitler
Darwin
Abraham Lincoln
and the list goes on and on and on and on...
Three, a woman who is playing the lottery is NO LESS LIKELY to win than a man. To say that women are somehow discriminated against, as that quote implies, in the gambling industry is simply false.
""The odds are in favor of the men since 68% of pathological or compulsive gamblers are men, and only 32% women.""
Mathematics, probabilty, and the laws of physics do NOT discriminate against women. In fact, women should be PROUD that there are less of them who are addicted gamblers.
The only conclusion that can be accurately drawn from that quote is that if you look at the US population as a whole, and you randomly chose a man and a woman....the man is more likely to be a gambler than the woman. It is just that. The women are not in any disadvantage if they choose to NOT gamble.
"I am going to be critized for this post, but I can see things others in this post can't...Why i am for women power?

My sincerest sympathy to your mother and your family.
But being ill (whether suffering from physical or emotional ailments) does NOT mean she is weak! That is simply wrong. If your mother has been great for the past 4 years, then I believe your mother is a very strong and tough person. It takes the bravest and strongest souls to battle and win over diseases, addictions, etc. etc.
I am also deeply disturbed that you metioned you think of most women as weak and fragile. That is simply NOT true. Women may be biologically and physically weaker in terms of brute strength and muscle mass, but that does not mean they are weaker as an individual. Society is a dynamic organism with numerous, interdependent organs and tissues. Some things men are better at, and some things women are better at.
The take home message that I want to convey to you, pumpi76, is that women does not need money to be strong, influential, and admired (and neither does a man, for that matter).

I wouldn't MIND seeing my cat as President, as long as.......
I think the current President MEANS well, but he's so far out of touch with reality or the understanding of middle east religions that he will never 'get it'. You cannot americanize the middle east - cannot be done, will never happen, just as you cannot communize the USA....

Oh I am sure he means well.. My cat means well when he steps out of the litter box and tries to shake the litter off of him before going into bedroom. He still makes a mess.. Poor thing...

you rather see a women president of which country? The G7/G8 or the rest of the world?
If is a women president of the G7/G8 countries (and only the G7/G8), i think then that i would rather see a female president, but any other countries i rather see a "women Trillionaire"....
Why? because a president of the G7/G8 countries has a lot of power (who has more power to change the world, a trillionaire or a president of a G7/G8 i don't know)...A president of the G7/G8 countries can change the world too...But the problem with Presidents of the G7/G8 countries is that they have to have the support of Congress/Senate/Cabinett to make great strides in changing the world...And the problem with Trillionaires or billionaires is that they get marry and half of their money they got to share it with their spouse/husband....Something i am heavily against..If you are a billionaire i believe you will want to make your husband/spouse rich but you shouldn't give her half of your money...To you and me what difference does it make if you have 25 million dollars than if you have 100 million dollars or for that matter 700million dollars or 1 Billion dollars? I think is greed...And don't let me get started because i am going to end up hating everyone in the States (I feel everyone in the States is greedy and yes everyone)...Just ask the kid in the ghetto how much he will like to win on the lotto...
Ask yourself something: 5 women presidents in third world countries or 5 women trillionaires?Remember the interest (6%) of 1 Trillion Dollars is "60 Billion" dollars "every" year...MOre money than Bill Gate's entire fortune...
And i also would rather see lots of women president in the history of different developing countries (with the help of a Trillionaire) than to see only 1 modern women president in the entire history of the U.S. or G7/G8 past and future...
Also i believe that what determines if you win in a candidacy is what you stand for but also the money...
Let's throw the Trillionare thing at one side....I believe the reason why women in lots of countries haven't ran for presidents is because not many of them are wealthy collectively and thus they are not empowered...Only the wealthy families run for presidents...What you see in Central America is that a group of women are wealthy but the the majority of women in the population are not...
But the point is: "Even if you rather see a women president" you still need to get proactive about "Women & the Trillion Dollar Lotto"...."You need to get involved".....
note--when i refer to third world countries or developing countries i am referring mostly to countries where the value of their money is really low....
By the way, i think president Bush is one of the greatest presidents ever, even more so than Clinton...But i still don't like to live in a country when in a country Companies have a lot of power (like credit card companies, cigarettes, banks)...I think i like a mixture of socialism & democracy form of government....
"Laura Simpson from Great Lakes, Illinois deserves to be rich..." "She is so rare..."

Oh please do not put those two together in the same sentence... They are not even in the same universe together.. They are so dang different...
Clinton .. educated
Bush... uned
Get the picture...?
There is no way Bush could ever hold a candle to Clinton... Unless he went back to college for 8 more years and studied really hard... provided a tutor on Saturdays.. and someone to read his tests for him.. Then he might have enough light to light Bill's candle.

AUUUUUUGGHGHGHGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AFTER LAST WEDNESDAY I NEVER WANT TO HEAR ABOUT *$^%# GLOBAL WARMING EVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't need to be a Trillionaire (what are the taxes on that???) nor Billionaire. I'd be happy with millionaire. Or a fraction thereof. Enough to give me peace of mind so I don't have to be worried about the car or the rent or the basic necessities.

First of all it is Mrs. Bill Clinton, and secondly if you you think this woman that covets power and money above all else, would make a good president you are very poor judges of good presidential character. Mrs. Bill Clinton should have left Billy Bones a long time ago. No woman on this earth, unless she wears a burka and shares a husband, would have stayed with this guy for more than 1 minute, if he hadn't been Governer, President etc. she would never have kept the charade of the marriage for so long, and don't tell me you understand her and she is trying to make it work. Don't make me heave. I have nothing against voting for a woman for President, but not this one, she lacks presidential qualities, she is not a leader, especially not of the United States of America. There is no principal or position that she hasn't changed or spoke out of both sides of mouth ever. What has she done legislatively? What qualifies her to be president? Tell us. Enlighthen us. I'll start she theoretically wrote "It takes a Village".
