Thanksgiving

In case you need a reminder of all we have to be thankful for and how fortunate we are.
Survival.

bailout deal

The bailout deal is the largest con in world history. Money does not evaporate, in our current case it has been stolen. Now comes the con, after stealing 800 billion from the American middle class the wealthy non productive financial planning super spending upper-class consumers want to get their hands on another 800 billion dollars for free. Let the large corporations collapse, let small business companies take root and replace them. these small companies are what made this country great, successful, leading in the world economies and social values. The Ronald Reagan administration was the beginning of Government allowing the snowball purchasing of company after company to the current state we are in. We can not allow the continuation of large corporations holding our economy hostage by there shear size . Stop the bailout and let the large corporations fold, the pain and suffering will be long and hard but the consequences are worse, it will be the end of democracy and American ideals that have been the mainstay for the free world. We need to get back to being productive creating a product, to a GNP not a GDP. The industry of trading money is for gamblers, the industry of products is for people willing to work for what they get, we need to be willing once again, I just hope there are enough of us who still know what that means.

Barack Obama

In the hope we will avert a sure collision course with disaster, of mammoth proportions, I am endorsing Barack Obama.

Starry night

The wonder of wonder.

night club

What are we doing here, spending money, on beer!

Tourists

I wonder what they see.

Gasoline prices

If the price of oil by the barrel is being driven by futures trading, not supply and demand, or not by source nation pricing, then why are we discussing the need to drill for oil in Alaska and the Gulf? the price will not come down, but the environment will be in jeopardy of a large scale catastrophe. Once again we have our government engaged in propaganda to falsely scare the population into agreeing with concepts introduced solely on the merits of large corporate profits, NOT based on the well being of the peoples, or environments we hope to occupy for EVER.

The Republican Senator from Alaska has been accused of false declarations concerning gifts by oil companies to him, he is fighting the claim believing there is enough wiggle room in the laws for his defense to win and justify his "lack of knowledge" of any wrong doing. When our elected officials break the law because they believe the interpretation of the law in a court room can be manipulated enough to give a reason of doubt, enough for acquittal, when this happens our democracy becomes a feudal system. We need self governing, we need to renew the ideology that we succeed when we all succeed, fairly.

The wind

Its blowing oddly

Due in large part to religion, the United States voted in President Bush for two terms. Some of us knew he would do far more damage to our country, in fact the worlds stability than terrorists. Ironic.

2012

The Stock Market and Wall Street

The days of the stock market are over, The Market originally was created for investing in a business with the intent of making money off of the business when it performs as you hope, productively within the economy, creating jobs and financial strength. What has happened? the answer is greed and gambling took the place of production and hard work. Our counties biggest investment became investment itself, making money not from a product but from gambling, from the trading of money itself. This path to eventual failure has been taken for the past 25 years and now it can go no further, our Government has chosen to become a business itself hoping to make money off a false economy which like the national debt seems to be something the future will have to fix. The future is here, It is time to elect people who understand life is a hard earned road to prosperity, with many desires left unfulfilled. The days of getting anything one wants just because they want it, immediately, are over. In fact the pain we will endure to right this ship, will be years and years of going without. It is time again to concentrate on conservation not consumption.

Cluster Bombs

The selling of weapons by countries for profit means the cycle of endless warfare and violence will not stop. The Large economy countries such as The United States and Russia let greed stand in the way of peace. Profit by Government leads to social, political and economical injustices for all peoples who find themselves in the path of power hungry politicians.

a. global warming will see reduced emissions by 2050. - to late

b. cluster bombs will be "better designed" by 2015. - now that makes me feel better.

c. petroleum from corn uses more petroleum to grow the corn than what its worth. - senseless

d. Tax breaks may be coming for having more children. - how about tax incentives for fewer children?

and on and on it goes.

If only you knew

More earth like planets found> no kidding.

Gasoline prices

Don't believe increasing the volume of oil production per day will lower the price per barrel! Our Government and corporations have sold the future of America down the river by allowing the whole sale sell off and mergers of American companies. Now the businesses have left for lower wage workers to keep their products affordable, the layoffs due to this and loss of small business have created a short fall in our gross national product. America is now in a position where it cannot afford to buy what it makes, and neither can our trade partners, so now we import cheap sometimes lethal products, produce little ourselves, the dollar is in a free fall, oil rises in direct response to the value of the dollar and many including the leaders of this once great nation lie through there teeth and tell us all, its the production, its the Saudis, its something other than what it is!
We need to stop the buy outs and hope that small business, that which made this country great, small farms, people, not corporations can regain the status we all enjoyed when being an American was a dream of promise, something we all earned.
