No offense, ladies, but I find this whole thread to be a couple of things
but one of them I'll mention here. Y'all don't need tin foil hats for this
conspiracy theory. Y'all need help <g>
Do you seriously think that back in April that Palin knew that she was going
to be given the nod for the VP position and she "planted" those stories in
the news about the baby? Seriously?
BTW, LEAKING amniotic fluid is NOT synonomous with "water breaking."
Homework folks, homework.
AND, y'all might want to take note of the fact that DS is much less likely
to occur in someone with the Palin kids ethnic mix. Seems the First People
have a much lower rate of DS births (.82) than the rest of the population
(1.52). Also, I wonder if they are in a fluoridated area and if not, then
you can cut those numbers in half! Folks such as Sarah Palin are in the
target age group, etc.
O.K., any cops on this list? What's the general feeling about eye witness
testimony AND after-the-fact 15 minutes of fame testimony?
So, as an example of the reliability of "eye witness" testimony, I'll take
some real life experiences. I drove the very first rootbeer brown and cream
GMC 3/4 ton 4x4 long wheel-base truck (I custom ordered the sucker and it
was the first one with that color combo off the line) which was, shall we
say, unique. I pulled a 22' forest green stock trailor with Pacific Coast
Gymkhana Champion and APHA World Halter Futurity Champion and several other
appropriate plaques and stickers plastered all over it. Parked that combo
right smack dab in front of a house, and with with the help of two rather
large, well tatooed, scary looking dudes (Misfits to be exact), repo'd a
Harley ('67 Sportster, as a matter of fact <g>). Waltzed right up the
driveway, went in the garage and waltzed back out again with the motorcycle
and loaded it in the trailer. The guy the ex sold the motorcycle to called
the police and reported it stolen. NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON gave an accurate
description of my truck and trailer. In fact, not one single person said
anything about a truck and stock trailer! I guess the one that came closest
said there was a green van. AND, both the dimwit I repo'd the Sportster
from AND the cop that came out failed to look at the notice of reposession I
tacked on the garage door!
Second example, I have brown eyes. Black until I was about 4 or 5 and
gradually have lightened to a dark hazel. All through my pregnancy with Son
#3, I sang with DH's band. Had frosted hair. One woman came to most of the
gigs. To this day, she swears I lied about being pregnant and that I must
wear contacts because she knows I had blue eyes back then! NOT ONE person
knew I was pregnant. Everyone who came to the shows still swears that I
wasn't preggers!
So? And she went to work 3 days later. So? I went out and took care of
horses 5 days after a c-section and I'm not super woman, believe me!
