His cheek flaps and neck folds scare me,
where did all that extra skin come from? Did
his head used to be twice as big? McCain
looks like he's aged 25 years in the past 5.
He's gone from tough and rugged veteran to
looking old, weak and like he's about to have
a heart attack any second.
So I work for the Brooklyn Rail
(www.brooklynrail.org) and I was wondering
whether it would be possible for me to maybe
use this image for a story? You'd be credited
and all.
Thanks for sharing the great photo! We have

American Patriotism is nothing more than a
nostalgic dream of a country which no longer
exist. There is such a fast difference in the
level and kind of freedoms we once had.
Family culture in America in no way resembles
what it once was. Politicians from the Right
and Left read from the same script like
professional actors fooling people into
thinking they are actually making some kind
of choice when they vote. Like the movie
MATRIX, you can taste the steak, even if it
does not exist. But all dreams die. A new
kind of values is coming to this country. It
is a new type of horror which will be
altogether very real. It makes no difference
who you elect as president. I refuse to vote
and be a part of this lie any longer. I was
once an election offiicial!!! I went to July
4th parades. I hung out the flag. I hate this
country that exist today. I pray to find a
country which will let me move to and work
there. Many countries are closing doors
because other Americans see it too.
"Senator McCain, What is your view on
the economy?" "...Well, my friend, I spent time as a
P.O.W., next question..." "Senator McCain, How do you suggest we
fix the healthcare crisis in the US?" "...Well, my friend, I spent time as a
P.O.W., next question..." "Senator McCain, thank you for taking
the time to answer our questions" "...Well, my friend, I spent time as a
P.O.W., next question..." "...Well, my friend, I spent time as a
P.O.W., next question..." "...Well, my friend, I spent time as a

I ________ promise to do my best To do my duty to God and my country, To help other people, and To obey the Law of the Pack.
This promise helps Cub Scouts develop a sense
of spiritual awareness, loyalty,
unselfishness, self-discipline, and service
to others.
I ________ promise: A promise is a
commitment. To make a promise and then fail
to keep it is to break one's word.
To do my best: One person's best is not the
same as someone else's best. A Cub Scout
should try to better his own record, rather
than merely trying to do better than someone
else.
To do my duty to God: This phrase means to
remember to thank God for good friends, good
health, our well-being, our family, and all
others who love and help us. Going to worship
services is another way of doing our duty to
God. We should respect other people's
religious beliefs even if they are different
from our own.
And my country: Duty to country starts with
being a good citizen. This means caring about
the people in our communities and helping
those in need. Good citizenship also means
obeying the law and using our country's
resources carefully. We show love for our
country by respecting and saluting the U.S.
flag and standing at attention when our
national anthem is played.
To help other people: For Cub Scouts, helping
other people may mean helping at home by
taking out the garbage or making their bed
without grumbling. A Cub Scout can also help
others by befriending a new student in
school, making holiday cards for older
people, raking leaves or clearing snow for a
neighbor, providing games for children living
in shelters, or collecting food for people
who don't have enough to eat. Helping others
is not always easy to do. We must think about
other people instead of ourselves—even when
it might be inconvenient.
And to obey the Law of the Pack: A Cub Scout
should follow the laws of the land, the rules
in his school, the rules in his home, and the
rules in his den and pack.
Each year I get to celebrate Independence Day
twice. On June 30 I celebrate my
independence day and on July 4 I celebrate
America's. This year is special, because it
marks the 40th anniversary of my
independence.
On June 30, 1968, I escaped Communist Cuba
and a few months later I was in the United
States to stay. That I happened to arrive in
Richmond on Thanksgiving Day is just part of
the story, but I digress.
I've thought a lot about the anniversary this
year. The election-year rhetoric has made me
think a lot about Cuba and what transpired
there. In the late 1950s, most Cubans thought
Cuba needed a change, and they were right. So
when a young leader came along, every Cuban
was at least receptive.
When the young leader spoke eloquently and
passionately and denounced the old system,
the press fell in love with him. They never
questioned who his friends were or what he
really believed in. When he said he would
help the farmers and the poor and bring free
medical care and education to all, everyone
followed. When he said he would bring justice
and equality to all, everyone said
"Praise the Lord." And when the
young leader said, "I will be for change
and I'll bring you change," everyone
yelled, "Viva Fidel!"
But nobody asked about the change, so by the
time the executioner's guns went silent the
people's guns had been taken away. By the
time everyone was equal, they were equally
poor, hungry, and oppressed. By the time
everyone received their free education it was
worth nothing. By the time the press noticed,
it was too late, because they were now
working for him. By the time the change was
finally implemented Cuba had been knocked
down a couple of notches to Third-World
status. By the time the change was over more
than a million people had taken to boats,
rafts, and inner tubes. You can call those
who made it ashore anywhere else in the world
the most fortunate Cubans. And now I'm back
to the beginning of my story.
Luckily, we would never fall in America for a
leader like this who promised change without
asking, what change? How will you carry it
out? What will it cost America?
Would we?

The Cub Scout Promise
