The
Ozarks on the world wide web!
there are web
sites, constructed by just pain people for the
enlightenment of other others and not for
commercial gain. Lets take a look of a few of them
and their importance to historic and cultural
preservation of our dear Ozarks.
The
Unexplained of the
Ozarks
The folklore
and legends of the Ozarks are full of stories of
strange and unusual phenomena that continue to defy
rational scientific explanation.......... One would
think that centers for serious research might be
located near locations that the popular culture has
immortalized in print and film, such as Roswell New
Mexico, the scene of the alleged crash of an
extra-terrestrial vehicle in the late forties,
however we have such a center right here in the
Ozarks, in Reeds Spring Missouri,

PONCE
DE LEON, THE GHOST OF A ONCE GREAT SPA
TOWN
Most school
children that have paid any attention to their
history classes know who Ponce De Leon was. It is
very doubtful that Ponce De Leon ever made it to
the Ozarks. However, his name made it here and may,
perhaps, stay here forever.
Bushwhacking
and its History in
Missouri
One must
always remember that conventional history tends to
be written by the winners, and can be biased in its
reporting. First off, it is a common misconception
that the War Between The States (WTBS) or the War
of Northern Aggression, depending on your beliefs,
was a Civil War. It was not. A civil war, is a war
between a radical faction, trying to overthrow a
government or regime to place itself into power.
The Confederacy was not designed, nor was its
purpose to overthrow the U.S. government, but to
break away from what it perceived as a tyrant, no
different than the British Empire that our
ancestors broke away from in our Revolutionary War.

Are
Variable Annuities Right for You?
To save the money you'll need
for that comfortable retirement you've been working
toward, your best move is to contribute as much as
you can afford to your 401(k) and IRA. But what
happens if you hit the contribution limits on these
two plans? What other investments are there for
you? One possibility is a variable annuity.
However, before you purchase one, review the
positives and the negatives because they're both
present.
