"You Are Not Powerless!"
from - The Parallax Prophecies -
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners
\"Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat." Theodore Roosevelt

In each of us there lies a gland (adrenal) that activates a fight-or-flight response, when we are confronted by danger, provided that is, if a person is cognizant of the danger in the first place. When danger to our own life or a loved is thrust upon us, this gland injects a hormone (adrenalin) into the blood stream that almost instantly increases the heart rate and breathing rhythm. All of our senses become super charged. In some, this surge of adrenalin triggers instant panic and the person becomes like a deer frozen in the headlights. In others it prepares them to meet any threat with force and energy many times their normal strength. Under these conditions, frail little women have been known to lift a car off a victim.
