I will tell you a story.
I was in a very serious automobile accident. I sustained a Traumatic Brain Injury, resulting myself in a coma for 2 days. The doctors did not think I was ever going to talk again, if I did, maybe 6 months. I had a tear in my brain large enough to create a ping pong ball sized (2.5 x 2.5 x 3.5cm) blood clot on my right frontal lobe. Doctors have told me that to have a tear this large means that there are many smaller tears in my brain, also.
I awoke from my coma in 2 days. I then took a limited IQ test, one being much less rigorous than a test given to a person with no head trauma. I scored a 100. That is average.
20 days after that test, now at Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare 4th floor of Regions Hospital 640 Jackson Street St. Paul, Mn, I was given a much more rigorous and thorough IQ test, that being one for someone without head trauma. I scored a 121. That is high average. A 21 point change in humans IQ is unheard of in a life time, let alone a recovery. More than 1 point of IQ per day. Phenomenal. Miraculous.
I have since then taken a few non offical IQ tests: the first a program my mother bought me, the others were online. I scored a 141. That is near genius.
The Doctors told me that for someone with the head trauma I had sustained and the average score of 100 I got after the coma, that I must have had an IQ of the 160+ range.
Ironman will confirm that I was in this automobile accident on 7/27/98. My best friend was in that automobile accident with me along with the rest of my family. I am very concerned about the risks that my best friend may be put in, because of his choice of profession. He is a weekend warrior, National Guard, I am also aware that some National Guards men and women have been sent to IRAQ.
I would very much like this forum to have much discourse about topics relevant to the war in Iraq and all American Political and Military issues without trying to degrade someone or to attempt to claim superiority over another person.
I care about the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
We live in a democratic republic or whichever variation of the concept you wish to claim we live under.

As a citizen of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, I feel I have a duty to my country to seek truth and to vote for the candidates that I feel will best lead our country.
You may discredit the statements after this sentence on whatever grounds you like:
In the coma I saw many things, dreams I suppose. One of them particularly I remember:
I was walking in a big city. Except it was not right. Everything was covered in dust. It looked like a war zone. I was carrying a bucket, of what looked to be rubble. I was following a man carrying 2 buckets, as we came to a T in the path there was a man standing there. The man I was following asked "which way should we go?" That man continued walking. I asked the man at the T in the path "Why are we doing this?" His answer struck me odd. I looked around. As I said before it looked like what I thought was a war zone. When I turned to my right I saw something that did not make sense. One of the business signs was legible. It was not covered with dust. It was green with white writing reading "Mr. Fong's Oriental Restaurant".
I wake from the coma, and recovered.
3 years after this car accident, I was up late one night and had a profound thought come over me. The world was going to be different when I woke up. I hoped it would be good, but I knew it would be bad.
My mother woke me up the next morning and told me "Someone flew a plane into the World Trade Center"
I tried to wake up and think.... the world is definitly different...ahh.. its a coincidence. So I get up and sit in front of the TV. The first thing I saw on the TV when the news showed the WTC scene was a green sign that read "Mr. Fong's Oriental Restaurant" just like I saw 3 years prior.
The city like war zone setting for my dream would make sense related to 9-11, along with the green sign.
The man at the T in the path, when he told me why we were doing what we were doing I was struck odd. Just like I was when I heard NYC FireFighters say it.
As I said you do not have to believe any of this.
I saw a whole lot more in my dreams than what I am telling you. I choose not to discuss some of the other things I saw in good taste, those things I saw are the reason why I seek truth.
