Soldiers Veterans and Patriots We are free today because citizens had enough courage to stand up to defendtheir community and country against threats. According to the Macomb Daily officers of the WarrenHistorical Society are behind the stealing of at least 5 expensive memorials from Warren Union Cemetery.They do not own the cemetery or the markers, They did this secretly without just cause, without a publichearing, without notification to the membership, police, City Council or even property owners. They robbedWarren's unknown soldier memorial from a grave and they stole a memorial that listed Warren soldiers whoare buried there. This was the only memorial showing the names of these soldiers. Nothing was found wrongwith these memorials in a later meeting. And they stole the memorial to all veterans and to those who died

on attacks on our country and 9-11 and they stole another that honors our flag and yet another that honorsthose many children and pioneers buried there without markers. These memorials were causing no harm.There is lots of room for them. They posed no threat. There is nothing disrespectful or wrong about thesememorials. They were there to honor men who died and to educate visitors especially young people who nolonger learn about history in school. This grave robbing gang actually has a written plan to steal moremarkers they do not like without notice and several more markers are now gone including an expensivefamily's epitaph robbed from a grave. We veterans who survived wars speak for the soldiers buriedthere. We veterans went through hell, were wounded, saw friends die, heard the pain filled screams of mortally wounded men, put friends body parts into body bags, accompanied friends caskets home. Weserved our country with honor and integrity. We feel it is wrong to steal soldiers memorials andespecially ones which show soldiers honored service to future generations for whom they fought anddied. They at least earned their name on a granite memorial and this grave robbing gang has no rightto steal soldiers memorials they don't own out of our cemetery. Now visitors including young peoplewill not be able to see who these soldiers were. Now many of our soldiers have no marker at all becausethe only one they had was stolen. Taking others property is called stealing, when worth several thousanddollars it is grand larceny. But worse they robbed those soldiers of the only memorial listing them and theyrobbed future generations from knowing about those Warren soldiers. Stealing the history of soldiers who

put their lives on the line (thousands died) to win our freedom is worse than disgraceful disrespectfuldesecration, it is the act of low lifes who do not deserve to live in this free country. They have given our citya big black eye and become the laughing stock of hundreds of history lovers.

Warren Township's oldest soldier was Abel Warren who spent so much time helping our earliest settlersthat they named the township after him. See his story earlier in this book. Abel was a hero in the war of 1812. Rev Abel Warren born August 3, 1789 and died Sept 5, 1862. His great grandfather came across on theMayflower. His Grandfather Gideon Warren was a Lieutenant in the French and Indian Wars, joining in1748. He was one of Ethan Allens Green Mountain Boys in Vermont. He became a Colonel of the 5thVermont Regiment in the Revolutionary War. He was wounded in the battle of Ticonderoga.

Abel Warren enlisted and served his country as a soldier in 1812 holding the rank of Sergeant. He wasseriously wounded and taken prisoner at the battle of Queens town Heights. Having near death experiences inthe war and as a British prisoner made him aware of the value of life. He became a Christian in 1817 and

joined the Methodist church. In 1824 he and his wife Sarah became some of the first pioneers in MacombCounty settling just north of Warren. He became a deacon and later an elder in the church and was the firstman to preach in Macomb County, and no doubt preached at more funerals and married more couples thanany other man in the county of Macomb. As a pioneer local preacher, he was abundant in labors, traveling onfoot at times twenty-four miles on the Sabbath and preaching three times, and that after a hard weeks work on the farm, and preaching as regularly as any stationed, preacher, and spending most of the winters inspecial revival work, in Macomb, St Clair and Oakland Counties, in which hundreds were converted, thushelping to lay the basis on which rests the magnificent, moral and social superstructure of this beautifulregion of country. From the History of Macomb County. Leeson 1882 p 739.

There are thousands of our brother and sister Americans who have paid with their lives for our Freedoms.Many had tremendous pain and suffering leading to their deaths. Some of us got medals. Many of us feelthat it wasn't worth it and we would rather they hadn't died and we could skip the medal. Many whodeserved medals did not get them and many died in the process their story never recorded. And the localschool districts where supers are getting 100,000-200,000 a year graduate students who don't even know whowe fought in WWII or why, what the revolutionary war was about or what is covered in the Bill of Rights.This little book is a small effort to educate folks. Read the parts about our wars and see how many died. Ihave made effort to include how many died from Michigan also. But what is important to know is that wars

have not stopped. An observation of history shows you that wars continue to happen. We must keep infor-med, be vigilant and be prepared or we will lose our freedom and perhaps our lives. The USA is going downdue to greed, neglect of education, ignorance and other causes including the pop and entertainment culture.Other countries are about to surpass us. Foreigners are ever increasing at a much more rapid rate in our country. The difference is that many of them will not really become Americans. Instead they wish to instiltheir anti-Western culture. Even our universities are packed with foreign students because most Americanstudents don't succeed in college. America needs to wake up. Following are a few tributes to our heroes.

Several thousand fromMichigan are fighting todayfor our freedom.. 80

Our CemeteriesIn the 1800s there were no grave stone makers in Warren There were no funeral homes. The body waslaid out at the family home for friends to see. Sometimes a coffin was constructed but that depended if there were planks available and someone who had a saw and was skilled enough to make one. Many were

buried without a casket or marker on the farm as there were few cemeteries around. Families often did nothave money to pay for a cemetery lot. Often several family members died within a short time due todiseases we now have cures for such as scarlet fever, cholera, diphtheria, typhoid fever, small pox, etc.

Both the 1854 St Clement and 1845 Warren Union cemeteries appear to be preceded by the Bidell-Green-Weier Indian Cemetery but no one knows and it is not important. This was located west of Bunert and Northof Martin. Here is a foto.During construction of Briarwood School a skull and other human bones were discovered. (Per Tri City

Progress 4 14-1967) In May of 1969 children playing in the school playground discovered more humanremains. Imagine the look of shock on the teachers face when they brought the remains into the classroom.One contractor dug a load of dirt for fill dirt and dropped it off on someones property. The homeowner receiving the fill dirt saw human remains and called the police who contacted the contractor. Imagine askingfor fill dirt and getting human remains dropped off in your driveway. The funeral director William Durosstold historian Wesley Arnold that Theuts, Greens, Hessels, and Schoenhers were probably buried there. So itwas for sure a pioneer cemetery.

Mt Olivet (opened in 1888) down Van Dyke, Mt. Elliott opened in 1841 but to farmers in Warren village thatwas a long trek with wagons especially if the weather was bad or in the Winter.The St Clement Cemetery is located on Engleman east of Van Dyke. The first known recorded burial wasin 1854.Staff members of many cemeteries have stated that they have hundreds of children buried without markers.St Clement Cemetery is the sister pioneer cemetery to Warren Union Cemetery in Warren Michigan. Recordsshow 451 child and 299 adult burials before 1898 of which only 28 markers now show a child burial. Thatgives a ratio of 1.5 child burials for each adult. There were 17 scattered years when there were about twicethe children buried than adults. 5 years had about three times the child burials. One year had 12 times andone year 4 times. This is from their records and is verifiable.

In old pioneer Michigan cemeteries there are often many more burials than visible stones.One old caretaker admitted that there were a huge number of graves with no marker visible and that theyactually had to probe with a rod before they dared dig a new grave. In the old days markers would fall downin the depression made when the old wood caskets caved in and in time were covered over. Many volunteer and underpaid mowers were pressed into service and the less markers the faster they could get the mowingdone. St Clement had about 1,500 burials prior to 1943. The above is verifiable. But this is an under count asthey have several years without records.Looking at Warren's sister cemetery there were between 1.5-2 child burials per adult burial prior to

1900. The infant mortality rate back then was very high sometimes over 200 per 1000 per annum so this over years indicate a few hundred.Old county death records of Warren show there are 500 registered child deaths per 1000 deaths

average but this is probably 1/4 of the true number since only a small percentage of stilborns, infants andchildren were even registered. An examination of county records shows that of the 150 stones with children'snames only 12 were recorded.

The sister cemetery with good records indicates 1500-2000 per 1000. And it is known thatvirtually no stillborns and very few babies were marked by stones. Only a very few even have asurviving grave stone now.

Researchers have done the math of all of the above and say that there is high probability thathundreds of children are buried at Warren Union Cemetery without markers.

And we know that many adults in the very old families were buried there without markers because they didnot have money for markers and there were no stone cutters around. The area was rural and a few smallstones piled on grave sufficed. Also many believed in a resurrection soon so felt there was no need.

A beautiful memorial was donated (without cost to the city) in memory of our pioneer pioneer families andchildren who were buried there and now have no markers and it was stolen. According to Macomb Dailyofficers of the Warren Historical Society are behind the stealing of at least 5 expensive memorials. This wasnot an act of the historical society itself rather two people. They did this secretly without just cause becausein their minds this was an old folks cemetery and there are no markers for these folks and their children.Duh! They have no right to steal expensive granite memorials which do not belong to them from a cemeterythey don't own. Another memorial listed soldiers buried there and was the only memorial that displayed their names. Now future generations will not even be able to see their names. They have effectively stolen thehistory of these soldiers who died, We veterans are fighting this. See cemeteries pages for details.

Most Cemeteries in the world including those of Macomb County Michigan have many unmarked graves.Many old ones like Millar (Miller/Cady's Corners) - Section 30 Metropolitan Parkway & Utica Rd, ClintonTownship, have almost no readable stones left. (around 54 actual stones) We could also state the fact thatmost burials of past years were not in cemeteries at all rather were in locations close to the site of death andare virtually unmarked. In Europe catacombs abound underground with thousands of unmarked bones. I have

been there and seen them. Macaber to say the least but true facts nevertheless. Creepy isn't it.

Warren Union Cemetery is located between the Red Run River and Chicago Road East of Ryan Road. Pioneer farmer Peter Gillette sold a parcel of land in 1845 to eighteen families for burial groundreserving a large lot for his kin. It has 1000-3000 possible graves after subtracting aisles and drives. Under 1000 now have a surviving marker. There are probably more unmarked graves than marked now.

Consider that the old section was considered full by 1945. Proof of that is in the fact that many of thoseold families had to buy plots in other cemeteries because their local lots were full, even if markers had not

been placed on them. Even township officials had to go elsewhere to buy graves as they were sold out.Township records, newspaper articles and stories indicate that pauper burials were also done there.

Why Warren Union Cemetery may have hundreds of more burials thanstones now show. Consider that the original 19 families who had lots 10 feet by 30 did not placestones. Most had big families and they usually filled up their lots and had to buy additional lots here andelsewhere to accommodate the deaths from many diseases we now have cures for. Also consider that manystillborns and newborns were buried on top of regular already used lots and were rarely marked . Evennow many families have baby graves without markers. Consider that the older graves were most often notmarked by stones at all and that the older part of the cemetery had to be expanded several times. Andit was considered full by 1945 and many families had to buy lots elsewhere. Consider that there are 2000-3000 graves even after subtracting aisles and drives. Consider that the back of the cemetery where many

babies & paupers were buried extended much further than the now fenced in area and was destroyed by the1950s Red Run project and by erosion since. The fence was erected in 1986. Families who suffered stillbornor baby deaths did not usually want a big funeral or a stone as there was a stigma about this. The familyhome served as the funeral home and most families just buried the remains in the cemetery quickly and

privately and did not want a marker to remind them of a stillborn or sickly often unnamed baby whichwould prolong the sorrow of the guilt ridden grief stricken mother. Many were put in shallow graves in the

back. The sister cemetery St Clement with good records shows 1.5-2 children buried for each adultwith only about 6% of child deaths registered. Some years the count was over 2 children buried per adult.County Death records for Warren indicate 50% of the recorded deaths were children prior to WWI.But this is perhaps only 1/4 because only a small percentage of stillborn and day old baby deaths andinfant deaths were even recorded. The real count is in area of 1.5 2 times adult burials. Also theinfant mortality rate back then was very high approximately 200 per 1000 per annum. Many other oldcemeteries have hundreds of now unmarked graves many of which are children. Figure of the 1000 burialsin Warren Union Cemetery only 150 show children. Consider that if the true rate is 1.5 2 childrenburied per adult then there would be 1,500-&up children buried there, indicating the possibility of 1,000-2000 children in unmarked graves. Also consider that less than 6% were even registered andconsidering the actual rate per the sister cemetery which is much higher, and also considering the mortalityrate there are at least hundreds of additional unmarked burials. Researchers have done the math of all of the above and say that there is high probability that hundreds of children and many adults are buriedin Warren Union Cemetery without markers . Many of these babies and children died terrible deaths.Whooping cough, scarlet fever, diphtheria, typhoid fever, inflammation of bowels, summer complaint withsevere pain. Many feel these children without even a marker should at least be honored. A beautifulmemorial was donated in memory of the children and pioneers now without markers. But it was robbed off of a grave by uncaring grave robbers. According to the Warren Police, WWJ, and Macomb Daily officers of the Warren Historical Society are behind the stealing of several memorials. They did not even consider research findings or hold a public hearing. Many of us feel we should honor our Veterans but these graverobbers also robbed an Unknown Soldier memorial from a grave even though there is documentation thata soldier was buried there. Another marker they stole had the names of Warren men who are buried inthis cemetery, many of which had no marker in the cemetery listing their name . Now these men many of which died for our freedoms have no marker anywhere even listing their name. They also stole a Memorialto all veterans and to those who died in attacks to our country including 9-11 . And at a meeting thatfollowed they did not find anything wrong with the memorials. They don't own the property. Those

expensive memorials do not belong to them. They have no right to steal memorials property that does not belong to them. They also stole a marker stating what these men felt our flag stood for, It said Ourflag stands for Liberty, Justice, free speech, Press, Maintain our Freedoms ... A police report was filed.Those memorials were donated to honor our soldiers and to educate our young people who no longer learnhistory in school. Now these soldiers will be forgotten as this was the only memorial naming them. Manyhave no other marker anywhere. Us veterans had the courage to stand up and defend our freedom and way of life. Many gave everything they had including their lives often after great personal pain and suffering. TheseWarren boys who gave their lives at least deserve to have their name on a granite memorial in their hometown. Those memorials were no threat to anyone, were hurting nothing and there is lots of room for themthere. They were donated without cost. We veterans feel they should be replaced. Page83

ive memorials were secretly stolen by two persons without notice to public, membership or vote by Village Commission. There is ample room for theemorials here. They were not causing any harm, were not a threat to anyone. Nothing was found wrong with the memorials. We veterans are asking thathe Warren Village Commission simply acknowledge that these memorials are not a threat to anyone, harm no one, honor our Warren Soldiers many of hich are buried in Warren Union Cemetery which has lots of room for them and does so without cost to the city. We also ask that the people who removedem without public notice or the vote of The Village Commission simply return them without cost to the city. This will also avoid costly and ugly legal

attles supported by hundreds of veterans over the improper removal (grand larceny) and disrespecting of our soldiers. This simple and cost free actionould make The Warren Village Commission heroes to thousands of Warren children, and veterans who look to them to preserve our Warren Villageistorical and American Heritage to future generations. It is wrong to steal memorials (property one doesn't own) out of a cemetery they don't own.

SchoolsSchools were non existent for most of the history of our area.People could not read or write. Children had to work for thefamily to survive. They learned survival skills from their

parents. Women taught the children. When a boy was oldenough he would go with his father to learn and work. After 1840 a few home schools were formed and children taught inlocal homes. Some families allowed visiting teachers to sleep in

and gave them food in exchange for work and schooling their children. A schoolmaster was supposed to be able to make quill pens and be able to defeat the largest boy inthe class in a fist fight and maintain discipline. The birch rod was an indispensable part of his equipment andany pupil who misbehaved would feel its sting. Women school teachers had to be courageous to teach.(Willis F Dunbar 284) Women were also used because they would work for less money.The first known school in Warren was s split log school house the farmers built near Creek Road (ChicagoRoad) and Ryan roads. This school house was also used for a church for both the Methodist and Baptistgroups. This log building also had split log benches. Usually there were in these log schools boards laidacross pegs driven into the walls and used for desks. Rather uncomfortable to say the least. Early log schoolsusually had just a fireplace rather than a stove so it was hot by the fire and cold away from it. Teachers wereoften paid a sum per each pupil taught. There were often few if any good books. Church buildings weresometimes used for schools. West school was built in 1894 to the south on Ryan Road. That

burned down in 1931.A newer better red brick building was built tothe south on Ryan Road and is still standing.

The North school built in 1859 was also called the Berz school.It was located on the West side of Mound just South of 15 MileRoad. It became part of the Warren Consolidated School District in1941, It was sold in August of 1952.

The South school was built in 1866. It was located on the Eastside of Mound Road between 13 Mile Road and 12 Mile Road. There was also an East School built before1875 on Chicago Road between Van Dyke and Mound.The Leonard Schemm School Nine mile at Hoover were one room school.The 1865 Jeremiah O'Leary School at Bunert & Frazo burned about 1875.Probably leading August and Mine Bunert to donate land so local children would

be closer at the Bunert One Room School built in 1875 . It housed students ingrades 1-8. A larger two room school was built in 1927.The 1869 Plunkett school named after Mortimer Plunkett who taught there 1900-1916 after Frank Bacon. Mort had a farm in southern Van Dyke Note school wasin use before school district formed. These had grades 1-8. St Clement School before 1868. MurthumnHigh was built in 1926. Busch High 1921. Students could attend either. Schools with two or more roomsfollowed. Lincoln 1921. Harding 1925. Ellis 1926. Groesbeck , Mckinley , Macomb Park 1928. Ladd1941, Victory 1942. In 1944 a new 6 room school was built and named Charwood after Betty Chargo andIrene Woodward. Miller 1950. Peck 1961 CLHS 1962. Flynn 1973. Kennedy, Carlson, Washington, Roose,Wolf, Crothers, in 1960sTeacher's Contract usually went as follows: The teacher may not have company of men, Must be homeby 8 pm, Must not loiter in ice-cream stores, May not leave town without permission, May not smoke or drink, May not ride in a carriage or auto with any man, Must not dress in bright colors, Must wear atleast two petticoats, No makeup, Must sweep and scrub classroom floor, Must build wood fire at 7 am, Mustnot get married. Must be able to survive on $75 a month and buy all children's school supplies out of thatalso. On many occasions old timers outperformed recent high school graduates on math geography,history, many long years after their simple 8 grades of education ended. My grandfather in his eightieshelped me in doing square roots in high school. If you doubt take the 6 th

grade test on the following website. More information on schools is atmacombhistory.us page 86

The young man below was one of many volunteerswho worked to move and save the Bunert One RoomSchool. But help me find out who he was.

Above Bunert School restoration. 16 mm projector andslide shows are now replaced by electronic images. Highschool students should be required to take exit exams to

prove if they have earned a diploma. They should also begiven vocational training and attend a summer boot camp

and job training camp for additional training to get them ready to work in an occupation to supportthemselves. 1880 graduates were proud of their 8 th grade diploma because they earned it. They had to take a

difficult final exam that proved they had learned. Some had learned enough to enter an occupation. Nowstudents are graduated who can't read, do basic math, don't know where cities and capitals are in the USAand world, can't find the USA on a blank map of the world, know little about history or government or food

poisoning. They can't tell what the revolutionary war was or why we fought it and the same with WWII.They don't know much about the Constitution or Bill of Rights. They can't make change for a $20 dollar billwithout a calculator. Many can't even fill out a job application properly. And virtually none are prepared towork in a trade or profession. Worse many have no purpose in life and little moral values, do not have theAmerican Ethic and work ethic. In fact many think we should support them and expect handouts as their right. True not all of our young folks are like this but too many are. We need to get together as acommunity and correct this situation before our community disintegrates. Schools should be utilized by thecommunity year around for community activities. page 88

Our Libraries

Both Center Line and Warren publiclibraries were started when localcitizens got together collected books

and found a place to place them. In Center Line a group of men formed the Men's Club of Center Line. Thiswas in 1928 before there were any Rotary or Lions clubs etc. They accumulated about 500 volumes. Thelibrary was housed in the basement of the Center Line Community Church which later became thePresbyterian Church. It was moved later to several stores then to the above pictured Center Line recreation

building. Finally it moved to its present building.Warrens first library came about at the Joiner House which was built in 1895 by Robert and Eliza Joiner. In1935 this is where Warrens first library was located. (in the front parlor) Three women (Miss Elkin, Mrs.Parrott and Mrs. Zorn) formed the Warren Community Library.Ther got 516 books donated and borrowed another 200 from the state. Chris Anna Zorn donated the use of her Sunday parlor for the use of the library. In 1936 the village council accepted the library as an officialvillage institution. By 1940 it had moved to larger quarters twice and grown to a collection of 5,000 books.When Warren became a city a master library plan was made which dictated that a neighborhood libraryshould be no farther than 1 miles from any residence so that children would have access to them. Center line covered the middle area. Whitman the NE corner, Guest the SE corner, Burnette branch she Southernmiddle, Busch the SW corner and Miller the NW corner. A main Library was built and placed at the city hall.Due to funding cuts the Guest branch and Whitman were closed and Miller moved to the Community Center

building just west of mound Road north of Chicago Road. Many residents, teachers and those in the witheducational knowledge still feel that we need neighborhood branches to serve the younger children, Thisissue involves funding and the community's will to educate its children. See macombhistory.us for morehistory on each branch library.

In 2011 the Warren library has over 267,800 items. Center Line Public library has 40,000 and MacombCollege over 143,000 items. These libraries also have electronic media and access to internet basedinformation and databases. This means that the patron has much better access to the knowledge that has been

published than in the past. These libraries also include a lot of entertainment media such as common moviessuch as those produced for TV which are lacking in scholastic and moral content but are what the publicwants.

There is a great increase in electronic books, electronic media and online information. Libraties willalways hold historical books and materials but public libraries will someday include a computer capable of finding and playing back thru audio visual and printed modes all of the published knowledge of mankind. Weshould make access to the knowledge of mankind available to everyone. We will still need our publiclibraries to serve children and to provide resources to our citizens. Not everything is or will be on theInternet. Paper books may decline in numbers to an extent but they will still be needed and used for manyyears. To those who fought the millage to keep our library open and said that there is no need for them weeducators can find hundreds of examples of books and information that will not be found on the internet.And for children there is still no substitute for curling up with a good book.

Libraries and schools should make available Virtual reality ( virtuality ) learning environments (3DGoggles, Stereo Head Phones) that can simulate full screen 3d Imax screens with stereo sound for studentlearning. How better for a student to learn for example about dinosaurs than to go on a virtual field trip tosee hear and observe them. All this could be done with goggles and stereo head phones plugged into aninexpensive winbook computer. This combination can also replace heavy expensive textbooks children havehad to lug to and from school. Schools should place learning materials on the school website and childrencan learn at their own pace both at home and at school.

Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence served our country in many high offices andfounded a university. Thomas Jefferson knew much about government because he himself studied theprevious failed attempts at government. He understood actual history, and the nature of man. That happensto be way more than what most understand today. Jefferson really knew his stuff. It is worth noting here afew things he had to say. John F. Kennedy held a dinner in the white House for a group of the brightestminds in the nation at that time. He made this statement: "This is perhaps the assembly of the mostintelligence ever to gather at one time in the White House with the exception of when Thomas Jeffersondined alone."

Here are a few quotes from Thomas Jefferson :If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was andnever will be.

The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give tothose who would not.

Thomas Jefferson said in 1802: I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to ourliberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the bankswill deprive the people of all property - until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathersconquered.My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.

No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms .

The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protectthemselves against tyranny in government.

All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

For a people who are free, and who mean to remain so, a well-organized and armed militia istheir best security.

The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only object of good government.It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would saveone-half the wars of the world.

I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the laborsof the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

A Bill of Rights is what the people are entitled to against every government, and what no just governmentshould refuse, or rest on inference.

History, in general, only informs us of what bad government is.A wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave themotherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouthof labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government..

All, too, will bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail,that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must

protect, and to violate would be oppression .Educate and inform the whole mass of the people... They are the only sure reliance for the

preservation of our liberty.Every citizen should be a soldier. This was the case with the Greeks and Romans, and must be that of

every free state. Thomas Jefferson 1

I was bold in the pursuit of knowledge, never fearing to follow truth and reason to whateverresults they led, and bearding every authority which stood in their way.

If Congress errs in too much talking, how can it be otherwise in a body to which the people send onehundred and fifty lawyers, whose trade it is to question everything, yield nothing, and talk by the hour?

Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves are itsonly safe depositories.

Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, intime, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.Experience demands that man is the only animal which devours his own kind, for I can apply no

milder term to the general prey of the rich on the poor.

He who knows best knows how little he knows. Be polite to all, but intimate with few.

I am an Epicurean. I consider the genuine (not the imputed) doctrines of Epicurus as containingeverything rational in moral philosophy which Greek and Roman leave to us.

I believe that every human mind feels pleasure in doing good to another.I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to

challenge our government to a trial by strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country.I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if

we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy isnot to take it from them but to inform their discretion.

I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.

Leave no authority existing not responsible to the people.

It is in our lives and not our words that our religion must be read.

No occupation is so delightful as the culture of the earth, and no culture comparable to that of the garden.

Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by theequal rights of others.

That government is the strongest of which every man feels himself a part.

The constitutions of most of our States assert that all power is inherent in the people; that... it is theirright and duty to be at all times armed. No freeman shall be debarred the use of arms.

When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. When the government fears the people, there isliberty.

Nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as to remain always cool and unruffled under allcircumstances. When angry count to ten before you speak. If very angry, count to one hundred.

One man with courage is a majority. One travels more usefully when alone, because he reflects more.

Only aim to do your duty, and mankind will give you credit where you fail.

When we get piled upon one another in large cities, we shall become as corrupt as Europe.Commerce with all nations, alliance with none, should be our motto.

When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on.Thomas Jefferson 2

Old Sayings 2An oppressive government is more to be feared than a tiger.

Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without.

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, byimitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.

Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.

Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire.

Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.

Faced with what is right, to leave it undone shows a lack of courage.

If I am walking with two other men, each of them will serve as my teacher. I will pick out thegood points of the one and imitate them, and the bad points of the other and correct them in

myself.If you think in terms of a year, plant a seed; if in terms of ten years, plant trees; if in terms of

100 years, teach the people.

In a country well governed, poverty is something to be ashamed of. In a country badlygoverned, wealth is something to be ashamed of.

Learning without thought is labor lost; thought without learning is perilous.

Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance.

Study the past, if you would divine the future.

Success depends upon previous preparation, and without such preparation there is sure to befailure.

To practice five things under all circumstances constitutes perfect virtue; these five aregravity, generosity of soul, sincerity, earnestness, and kindness.

To see the right and not to do it is cowardice.

What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others.

When anger rises, think of the consequences.

When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the actionsteps.

Wisdom, compassion, and courage are the three universally recognized moral qualities of men. (Confucius)

August 3, 2011 A new study released today by theCenter for Media and Democracy (CMD) showsthat, despite rosy statements about the bailout'simpending successful conclusion from federalgovernment officials, $1.5 trillion of the $4.8trillion in federal bailout funds are stilloutstanding .This massive effort is in stark contrast to themere $2 billion the Treasury has spent todirectly help homeowners stay in their homes.With housing prices continuing to falter and theUnited States approaching 9.2 millionforeclosure filings since the beginning of 2008,HAMP can be described as nothing less than anabject failure. MUCH OF THIS IS BECAUSEBANKS ARE REFUSING TO HELP CUS-TOMERS AND ARE PROFITING BECAUSE OFTHE BAILOUT WHILE FORCING PEOPLEOUT OF THEIR HOMES.

CONGRESS LIED TO USThe bill was supposed to be 700 billion but now itis discovered that they actually spent much moreand on top of that borrowed the money from Chinaand now Americans are paying interest on these

billions. As a result the USA is actually nowfinancing China's military.But the real killer is that the US National Dept isnow over 15 Trillion dollars . That is $133,731 per each taxpayer. And worse the interest we are

paying to rich bankers is 3.7 trillion dollars. Nowonder the bankers are rich. And most of them

pay very little taxes. Congress has WAISTED OUR MONEY and gone into dept to foreign bankers.

EXECUTIVE PAID 1 MILLION WITH OUR MONEY

A Securities and Exchange Commission report thatshowed AIG executive David Herzog havingreceived upwards of a $1 million bonus. Nov2008. This was with our taxpayer money.

$86,000 FOR HUNTING TRIPAIG executives took $86,000 of taxpayer moneyfor an English hunting trip to kill rabbits.

$440,000 for a week-long retreatThen in Sept 2008 AIG spent $440,000 for a week-long retreat at a lavish California resort.Meanwhile they are throwing families out of their homes and the government is paying them to dothat with taxpayer money.

BANKERS GETTING BIG BONUSESOther bank executives of other banks were also

receiving multiple thousand dollar bonuses. with

taxpayer money and most rich bankers pay verylittle in taxes.So the tax payers bailed out the banks and are

now billions in dept and one would think the bankswould be grateful. No instead the bankers haveraised the interest rates on our credit cards andcontinue to throw families out on the street and

profit from it with taxpayer money.

Who has done this?the US Congress and President.

Oakland County Circuit Court Judge MichaelWarren and his daughter Leah today testified

before a House Committee in support of legislation designating Sept. 11-17 as PatriotWeek in Michigan. The legislation, sponsored bystate Rep. Gail Haines, encourages Michiganresidents to honor America's first principles,founders, documents and symbols of our history.The idea for Patriot Week was developed byJudge Warren and Leah in response to commem-orative holidays focusing on days off work and

parades instead of honoring our history.The commemorative week would begin on 9/11,a turning point in our country's recent past andend on September 17, which is the day the U.S.Constitution was signed.Rep. Haines strongly supports the Warrens'vision to create a week in Michigan that willrejuvenate the American spirit."Patriot Week will help commemorateimportant milestones in our history that areoften lost among parades and days off work, "said Haines, R-Waterford Township. "I commendJudge Warren and Leah Warren for creating thisimportant week and hope we can permanentlydeclare Sept. 11-17 Patriot Week to celebratefor years to come." The celebration of Patriot Week is an effort toteach Americans more about our nation's historythat is often lost in existing commemorativeholidays. Patriot Week will honor visionaryAmerican leaders that founded and advanced theUnited States including George Washington,Martin Luther King Jr., Susan B. Anthony andAbraham Lincoln.House Bill 4464 is being considered in the HouseCommittee on Military and Veterans Affairs andHomeland Security.Source Citation: "PATRIOT WEEK PUTSFOCUS BACK ON OUR COUNTRY'SHISTORY."

But when thedust settled, taxes and spending both went up .The real cause of our debt problem is too muchwasteful spending.

With big spending bill's demise, is'earmark' new dirty word on Hill ?There was no last hurrah for earmarks - knownto supporters as "congressionally mandatedspending," and to critics as " pork-barrel "spending - as Senate majority leader Harry Reidon Thursday backed off plans to ram an earmark-laden spending bill through the Senate, before aHouse ban on earmarks takes effect. Earmarksaccounted for about $8.6 billion of theproposed $1.1 trillion omnibus for fiscal year2011, according to Citizens Against GovernmentWaste, a watchdog group. Public outcries over millions for earmarks such as the so-called"bridge to nowhere" in Alaska have soured manyvoters and, increasingly, politicians on the

practice. Moreover, new rules adopted by thecurrent Congress require members to discloseearmarks they are requesting - a window that hasmade it much easier for watchdog groups to track such projects than in previous years. Within hoursof the release of proposed omnibus bill this week,Citizens Against Government Waste andTaxpayers for Common Sense produced reportsidentifying more than 6,000 earmarks and their sponsors. In 2006, the last year Republicanscontrolled the House, Congress hit a high for earmark spending, at $29 billion. In 2011 therewas a $1.1 trillion 'omnibus' spendingboondoggle Christian Science Monitor 17 Dec. 2010. Infotrac

THEY DID WHAT FIRE CONGRESSWITH MY HARD BOONDOGGLERS

EARNED MONEY?

DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY DEMAND RESPONSIBILITY

Republican Rep. Paul Ryan, R-WI. announced the recipients of his first Budget Boondoggle Awards.The Ferry to Nowhere a $20-million earmark for a craft connecting the Alaskan communities of Anchorageand Port MacKenzie serving a total of 40 residents.-- The National Drug Intelligence Centers jobs program a $39-million earmark for a duplicative

program that the President has sought to eliminate since at least 2005.Honorable Mention went to the Omnibus Appropriations Bill with its $18 billion in earmarksTo see details on more wasted billions visit http://www.cagw.org/ click on the pig book and scroll down thisis the site of Citizens Against Government Waste.

Also there are too many too highly paid government employees many making over $100,000 a year.

Congressmen get about $200,000 a year in pay and benefits plus retirement. And they give themselves amulti thousand dollar raise every year. Yet they want to cut pay and benefits promised to our soldiers

U.S. Senator William Proxmire gave Golden Fleece Awards from 1975 to1988 to highlight government wasteof which some were: * Federal Aviation Administration for spending $57,800 on a study of the physicalmeasurements of 432 airline stewardesses, paying special attention to the "length of the buttocks" and howtheir knees were arranged when they were seated.

* National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) funded project by psychologist Harris Rubin for $121,000, ondeveloping "some objective evidence concerning marijuana's effect on sexual arousal by exposing groups of male pot-smokers to pornographic films.

* National Institute for Mental Health for spending $97,000 to study, among other things, what went on in

a Peruvian brothel; the researchers said they made repeated visits in the interests of accuracy.* Office of Education for spending $219,592 in a curriculum package to teach college students how towatch television.

* United States Department of the Army for a 1981 study on how to buy Worcestershire sauce.* United States Department of Justice for conducting a study on why prisoners want to get out of jail.

The above is only a drop in the bucket of the wasted billions of our hard earned money. What can we doabout it. Tell your representatives and senators to stop wasting our money and to make cutbacks ingovernment spending. The rich should have to pay their fair share of taxes.We need to keep informed of what is going on and demand action.

And the situation is even worse when you see what our congress and president have done. Look at the

US Debt Clock at http://www.usdebtclock.org/ Congress has been so stupid as to repeatedly borrow moneyfrom rich bankers and China to pay for unnecessary pork. You will find that the government owes a hugeamount of interest (several trillion) to bankers and China because of their irresponsible actions. No wonder these rich bankers are getting richer and they pay almost no taxes. China is using this money to finance itsmilitary. This is something that can be used against us. Congress and the President have beenirresponsible in dealing with this and it has put our nation at risk. Many countries demand payment incash including the oil sources. If we can't pay them in cash, oil and other needed things will stop causing amassive nation wide shutdown. This is the terrible truth. Both the Democratic and Republican parties have

become self serving money making machines and have failed the American people. But blaming is notfixing we need to fix this situation before there is a national crisis. Call them demand responsible positiveactions now.

They did this secretly with-out just cause, without voteof Village Commission or

public hearing, They do notown the markers, or thecemetery. They robbed

Warren's unknown soldier memorial from a grave and they stole a memorial that listed Warren soldiers whoare buried there. This was the only memorial showing the names of these soldiers. Nothing was foundwrong with these memorials in a later public meeting And they stole the memorial to all veterans and tothose who died on attacks on our country and 9-11 (including over 400 policemen and firemen) and theystole another that honors our flag and yet another that honors those many children and pioneers buried therewithout markers. These memorials were causing no harm. There is lots of room for them. They posed nothreat. There is nothing disrespectful or wrong about these memorials. The memorials were there tohonor men who died and to educate visitors especially young people who no longer learn about history inschool. We veterans saw friends die, put friends body parts into body bags. We served our country withhonor and integrity. We feel it is wrong to steal soldiers memorials showing soldiers honored service tofuture generations. They at least earned their name on a granite memorial. Now visitors including young

people will not be able to see who these soldiers were. Now many of our soldiers have no marker at all because the only one they had was stolen. This was not an action by the historical society rather by two persons. Taking property that is not yours is called stealing and when it is worth several thousand dollars it isgrand larceny. It has been over a year and they have not returned or replaced them.Stealing memorials that name our soldiers is worse than disgraceful. They are robbing our history left for our young people who no longer are taught history in school. No one should be allowed to steal memorials(property they don't own) out of a cemetery they don't own. We veterans feel that they have disrespected our soldiers, our flag and those who died on attacks to our country. These memorials were donated without costto the city possibility by out of town descendents of those buried there.We veterans are asking that The Warren Village Commission simply acknowledge that thesememorials are not a threat to anyone, harm no one, honor our Warren Soldiers many of which areburied in Warren Union Cemetery which has lots of room for them and does so without cost to the city.We also ask that the people who removed them without public notice or the vote of The VillageCommission simply return them without cost to the city. This will also avoid costly and ugly legalbattles supported by hundreds of veterans over the improper removal (grand larceny) anddisrespecting of our soldiers. This simple and cost free action would make The Warren VillageCommission heroes to thousands of Warren children, and veterans who look to them to preserve ourWarren Village Historical and American Heritage to future generations.Respect our Warren soldiers and those who died by allowing their names to be seen without cost and

honored on these granite stones in their home town Warren Village. This also fulfills the missions of TheWarren Historical Commission, the society and Village Commission to preserve our history and educatefuture generations. But if they choose to disrespect our soldiers and veterans and those who died defendingour freedom and on attacks on our country let it be known that we will mount a campaign against those fewdisrespectors and there are hundreds of us. And we veterans are not going to allow men and women who diedto be disrespected and their history stolen from our local cemetery. Attention attorneys we are looking for attorneys who are willing to help us fight this cause. We are willing to do fund raising to pay you. We arelooking for banks or organizations who are willing to accept donations directly to them for this cause. Noneof us is to accept funds rather they are to go directly to the banks. History will note whether thesedisrespectors of those who died for our freedom shall be known as the Warren "Hysterical" grave robbinggang, or shall be known as Historical Heroes who preserved our American Heritage, educated futuregenerations and respected our soldiers.

The show is yet to begin

on a Wonderful Future.

For All Citizens

There is much more history, to be seen at macombhistory.us. This book was just a summary of parts of WesArnold's twenty volumes on the website or companion DVD. Because the humble historian is old and notlong for this world and on social insecurity he did not have funds to have this printed. He gave it out a copyat a time and asked people to make more copies and give them to others. (a pay it forward) This summaryhas value because it presented history and other important things left out of other books. History should be alearning tool to help all, particularly young folks learn from, to avoid mistakes and to improve the well beingof everyone in the community.

History should be used with a questioning attitude of how can we improve. One Example: Is our environment now of only crowded city and pavement better than a planned mixture of housing, with a few

park/farms where some of our food could be safely produced locally while cleaning the air and reducingnoise and providing children with a better environment? Our city has grown without intelligent planning for the welfare of all citizens especially children. The better future has to be intelligently planned not decided byspecial interest groups and folks just interested in making money. Efficient, weather free, inexpensive, quick,mass transit can be put underground together with perfectly climate controlled tornado safe shopping mallsas in Toronto. These could include easy to get to offices, businesses and perhaps some schools. Even year round temperature means reduced costs in heating and cooling. Replacing concrete above ground could be

beautiful areas with trees, flower filled meadows and ponds, with supreme natural beauty. With a good masstransit underground tube system anyone in the area could go anywhere quickly, cheaply and without driving,or parking hassles. There would be no snow or ice hassles. and less traffic, less jams, less accidents. This can

be created while creating jobs. Change welfare into workfare and offer training and jobs to everyone notworking also use free prison workers. Or would you prefer to continue to spend $35,000 a year to coddlecriminals with better health care than we have, cable TV, weight rooms, free legal services and conjugalvisits all at your expense and have them put out without rehabilitation to commit more crimes against you.We are all sentenced to a life of work why should they get a free ride on us. While they are at it they shouldinstall solar shingles and panels and insulation on every home and building in the city to make us energyindependent and add Geo-thermal heating causing great savings to all in energy costs. How about a tall skytower with solar panels and wind turbines to generate electricity, with a restaurant high up with reasonable

prices for everyone. Buildings could also trap and store rain water like they did in the old days for use in thesanitary system saving us more money. More medical research is needed to save lives. Law creation,enforcement, court and prison systems need to be brought up to date and made efficient. Special interestgroups, private, banker and corporate greed needs to be regulated for the benefit of all citizens. We are tiredof being ripped off. All utilities including phone and cable should be non profit. Stop waste in governmentspending and salaries. No government, corporate, or banking officer should be allowed to make more than10 times that of the lowest paid worker. Require congress to have to abide by all laws it passes with nospecial treatment. We need to start planning for a better future and making it happen, not just finding fault.

Memorials stolen out of our cemetery should be replaced. They honored our Warren boys who diedmost of which are buried there. One was the only memorial that named our soldiers who have no marker anywhere else. Nothing was found wrong with the memorials at a later meeting nor were they hurtinganything. There is lots of room for them there. Disrespecting our soldiers who were killed or put their liveson the line for our freedom is wrong. Stealing memorials that name our soldiers is worse than disgraceful.They are robbing our history left for our young people who no longer are taught history in school. No oneshould be allowed to steal memorials they don't own out of a cemetery they don't own. We veterans feel thatthey have disrespected our soldiers, our flag and those who died on attacks to our country.

DO GOODWHILE YOUSTILL CAN

BEFORE

ITS TOO LATESpaceship Earth

PAUSE FOR A MOMENT AND ASK WHAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT.Can the soldier in the coffin above take his money with him or benefit from the freedoms he has secured for us? Will he be forgotten and left without a marker?

Does any one of you know how long you will live or even if you will live to see the next year?Ask yourself what are the best things I can do to help my community?When historians look back at a persons life for what was important it is not how much money or things theygot for themselves but rather what good they did for the community that is counted as important.

The wise person learns from history to create a better future. Ignorant folks ignore history, current eventsand reality. Many folks live in fantasy while ignoring a world of opportunity. Look for opportunities. Think

positive. We also need to be informed and aware of threats and to be prepared to deal with them. Many diedor were made slaves because they didn't. And it is going on all over the world today and here.

There are a few things that our community needs. First is a code of conduct for all humans. We need it to become the expectation and the legal and moral norms for all humans. It should be that One should not do toothers what one would not want done to himself. Those who grossly violate it by purposely taking lives or

becoming a career criminal should be dropped off on an unrecorded deserted pacific island where their antisocial behavior will no longer threaten us. This also has the benefit to us not spending $35,000 a year tosupport them with food, housing, medical care, legal services etc.

Lesser criminals should be sentenced to jail but made to do public service work such as mowing, cleanup, construction of needed housing, solar panels, mass transit tunnels, installing insulation and other jobs. Inthis way they learn occupations and are paying their dept to society rather than us supporting them. We aresentenced to a life of work and they shouldn't be getting a free ride.

We need to both require and provide a quality education for youth not the shoddy inadequate incompletesorry excuse now being passed off as an education. Graduates now learn less than what was taught in a oneroom school in 1880. Students spend too much time goofing off in school. They should be required to passfinal exams to earn a diploma that actually means something. Now many can't even give correct changewithout a calculator. They learn little in school now. They should also learn basic History, Geography andmodern technology. They should be given the opportunity to attend a summer boot camp with occupation

training. They could select an occupation and get at least entry level training in it and then be given theopportunity to work in it as public service for at least a few months. This would provide youth with neededexperience and at least qualify them for basic level of an occupation.

Those citizens out of work should be offered job training and job opportunities. The government can be
