And whereas, the endeavors of the legislature to obviate objections to the said laws by lowering the duties and by other alterations conducive to the convenience of those whom they immediately affect (though they have given satisfaction in other quarters), and the endeavors of the executive officers to conciliate a compliance with the laws by explanations, by forbearance, and even by particular accommodations founded on the suggestion of local considerations, have been disappointed of their effect by the machinations of persons whose industry to excite resistance has increased with every appearance of a disposition among the people to relax in their opposition and to acquiesce in the laws, insomuch that many persons in the said western parts of Pennsylvania have at length been hardy enough to perpetrate acts, which I am advised amount to treason, being overt acts of levying war against the United States, the said persons having on the 16th and 17th of July last past proceeded in arms (on the second day amounting to several hundreds) to the house of John Neville, inspector of the revenue for the fourth survey of the district of Pennsylvania; having repeatedly attacked the said house with the persons therein, wounding some of them; having seized David Lenox, marshal of the district of Pennsylvania, who previous thereto had been fired upon while in the execution of his duty by a party of armed men, detaining him for some time prisoner, till, for the preservation of his life and the obtaining of his liberty, he found it necessary to enter into stipulations to forbear the execution of certain official duties touching processes issuing out of a court of the United States; and having finally obliged the said inspector of the revenue and the said marshal from considerations of personal safety to fly from that part of the country, in order, by a circuitous route, to proceed to the seat of government, avowing as the motives of these outrageous proceedings an intention to prevent by force of arms the execution of the said laws, to oblige the said inspector of the revenue to renounce his said office, to withstand by open violence the lawful authority of the government of the United States, and to compel thereby an alteration in the measures of the legislature and a repeal of the laws aforesaid;
My sisters decided to sleep in my room. they seen a shadow over my bed where they were sleeping. it was pitch dark in my room and you know that you can't see shadows in the dark. I had, had boxes packed and they were sitting by the attic doors, there were four attic doors. They seen the shadow and then they said the boxes fell. They went downstairs to sleep. The next morning when they went upstairs the boxes were put back in place. After we moved again, things started happening in my sister Vonda room (the one that seen the shadow of the old man.) like purple lights flashing. I had moved on my own sence then. right after I moved (i lived in a trailor) I still experced some things like flashing red lights and ozzy ozborns name all over my wall.
In doing some reading on ancient comet impacts, I ran across the following which made me chuckle:

When replying to a poorly thought out troll, please do not use hyper-correct grammar INCORRECTLY. Some people really are fucking idiots.
Man: I'm here about your DVD's.
Female Sales Clerk: Are you here to buy some of our adult DVD's sir?
Man: No, ma'am. Agent Frank Dreben, MPAA-squad.
Female Sales Clerk: Is this some kind of bust?
Man: Why yes, it's very impressive...
In 1994, my husband and I moved our family (4 kids - aged 3, 6, 10 and 14) to a small seaside town on the east central coast of Florida. We?d found our dream home -- 4/2, in-ground pool, 2600sf, priced 20,000 under market value, less than 3 miles from the beach -- Perfect! It was a little run down, but we figured what we saved on the purchase price we could put into fixing it up. I was a good thing we were in that mindset. Almost immediately, our nightmare began.
we started getting a lot of interference on the phones, the televisions and on the computer. In addition to turning on and off by itself, the TV would cut in and out -- usually just static or else the screen would blank. Same thing on the computer. Files would also go missing on the computer and, every now and then, it would just freak out completely. Restarting it did no good. I went through 3 hard drives, 2 modems and 2 motherboards in 5 years. Add to that 2 printers. Starting to see a pattern here?
The phones were what was really creepy. Nearly every time you used the phone, at least once (sometimes more), a loud burst of static would cut in. Sometimes all you heard was the static. Other times you could hear voices through the static. They were always garbled and you could never quite make out what they were saying. Sometimes. Once -- and this one still sends chills down my spine -- I heard a male voice say hello to me and call me by name. Then, laughter. I hung up on who I was talking to. The static and the voices could be heard on both ends of the line. People would often ask me ?what the hell was that?? or ?did you hear that?? while on the phone with me. Creeeepy!!!!!!!!!!
