Can You Say Mid-Eval Festival???

That's right-it's here again-the midevil festival, full of people dressed in regalla from times past, parties everywhere, drinks in the streets, children laughing and playing everywhere watching mom and dad have a festive time. There are vendors of all sorts selling their wears, goods, food and drink. I specially like this time of year because it is hot, there are many private little holes called PEÑAS all over the city which provide one place after another to have a sip of the favorite drink, and everyone is very happy to be here. The PEÑAS were normally wine cellers back when that was where the wine had to be stored to keep it cool and fermenting, however, these places have become remodeled with tile floors, beautiful furniture, music, and many other various examples of wasting money for fun. (Mind you, there are still the nasty dives that you only frequent once also). Oh well, the festivities last a complete 9 days and when it's over-you sleep.....well, those of us who can afford to. I hope there are similar celebrations going on in your part of the world and everything is going well with you and yours too..Schools out so we will be going to the swimming pool and drinking cold beer in the shade while the kids swim....What a tough life........

I PREDICTED IT IN MY NOVEL-BUT NOBODY READ IT!

The announcer spoke with entense excitement as he made the public announcement heard by millions over the airwaves, "The tallies have been counted and the new president of the United States of America is....Hillary Clinton!!!!" Sara Felding hit her head on the coffee table as her knees simply refused to function without any control from the brain-she fainted big-time. Loyd Burkshire threw a beer bottle straight through the big screen LCD in his living room before realizing the cost of his actions. Jenefer Stenson jumped up and down with tears flying off her cheeks in every direction from total joy.
The pilot's eyes became huge when he realized the plane was going to actually expode into the giant tower, suddenly screaming for Alah to take him into that magic world he had always believed in, but as the plane erupted into a ball of heat much like the surface of the sun, everything kind of turned into a Matrix state for him. A huge black hole opened up inside the building which never stopped going down, and as his mental state told him he should logically be dead, the reality was-that he was sinking into an unpredicted and unexpected afterlife. What happened after that stunned him as he looked at the line of people waiting to approach something so far off he could not distinguish it's nature, only that everyone was being forced to proceed onward.
After signing the document into law, the new president knew that she had done the right thing. She had already faced too much ridicule over the issue, but felt it was what had to be done. It took very little time for the effects of her signature to show results. The law created a requirement for all new cars to be created with two mandatory items installed on them: (1) A governor was required to limit the speed of every vehicle to match posted road speeds-a radar type system presenting signals to the car from the roadside. (2) A detector for alchohol which prevented the engine from cranking. An over-ride button was provided in case someone had to be driven home who had consumed the liquid, however, a type of flood-light turned on warning the authorities someone was driving a vehicle with alchohol detection. The cops didn't have to guess anymore and hundreds of lives were saved in the first month alone. Speeding tickets took a little while because of the installation requirements and phasing out of old vehicles, but speeding tickets took a radical downturn in 6 years.
I wrote about all the above issues in my first novel back in 2003 and I personally believe they all three address very important issues in our modern society, however, only you will read about it-no one else. No agents want to take on the challenge, nor publishers-they all say the issues are too "Subjective". Well, the alternative is to keep killing on the highway, elect lieing sacks of shit that won't ever complete any of their promises, and kamikazi bombers will keep taking their lives-ALONG WITH MANY INNOCENT VICTIMS-if they are allowed to believe their religeon will reward them in the afterlife AND that their families will financially benefit from their actions. Oh well, I wrote it and read it quite often-it's full of interesting conclusions, debatable, possible. Let me know if you want to check it out.

THREE YEARS AND COUNTING

Here I am after finishing my first novel three-count em-3 years ago and still can't find an interested representative to help publish the novel. I heard that it could be difficult but God-d#%$^!!!!! It isn't the fact that my novel sucks, is written incorrectly, or even has a horrible genre/theme, it is the fact that not one single "AGENCY" , (out of over 3000 which have been sent proposals), has requested to see the material. My story could be the hottest thing off of the coals of hell and nobody would ever know since they never read it. I keep writing in hopes of someday spreading my feelings about indepth subjects I feel need expressing to the general public. I write to try and share something I believe is important in our world, however, if through bureaucratic bullshit it never becomes published, no one benefits from the information-we all lose. I am saving my money to someday publish the book myself-I have completely lost all faith in anything I have ever read about the system of publishing and it's Do's and Don'ts.

PARTY TOWN DOES IT AGAIN!!!

It was just another typical Saturday night here in Spain-Everyone in the city dressed up like madi gra in New Orleans, dancing around while marching thru the city with drumbeats screaming the announcement, "Wake up anyone lame enough to be in bed trying to sleep because it's FIESTA time!" The sound rang out about the time I was actually going to get into bed-12:30 midnight. The dance at the pavilion with live band and judging costumes would not take place until 3A.M. The party goes on until 7Am most years, sometimes longer. I go to it every year, however, this year I was forced to take a rain check. My wife works for the government at a national wildlife reserve on the weekends where she informs interested persons about where they may be located in order to observe the migration of huge cranes. They flock by the thousands-very interesting to see. Anyway, she doesn't like to drive, so I volunteer to shuttle her back and forth to a place called Gallo Canta, (The Crowing Rooster). I didn't feel like punishing myself this year, so when the drums moved far enough down the road, I was lucky enough to be able to get some sleep. My daughter went though, so I was up at 3Am when she came in. Although I don't worry about her security-she's still my daughter and that speaks for itself. Can't believe it's already March coming up on us, but the almond trees are in full bloom already as if it were springtime. If we get a freeze, it will be like Florida loosing all of it's oranges. Cross your fingers and drink some wine.
Peace out.

NEW THINGS STILL THRILL

We bought a new car and I haven't even turned the computer on for weeks. Sorry about that, you know, to leave all of my readers out there on the line just hanging around waiting with anticipation for my next input. I simply can't believe all of the emails I have been receiving requesting more information about subjects near and dear to me, such as when my next book is to be published. Or how much longer do we have to wait for you to tell us something else on your Blog which has-as of today-received a total of absolutely ZERO comments for anything I have ever written in them. I find it more curious than anything that there are so many people surfing the internet at all hours of the day and night and yet no single person in the whole planet gives a flying f$&^ about what I have to say. Well I really can't believe that, however, I do believe that since no body has gone to my site, and I don't pay some fancy advertising agency to spread my name like mayonaise all over the slice of bread we call the internet, then I suppose it will remain un-attended until I either A. Die or B. Become famous.....Oh well, when I die I really won't give a shit what anyone comments about what I say anyway, so you know what? You can all just kiss my blog............

2007 WILL IT BE SOMETHING WORTH LIVING IN?

I personally never thought I would see the year 2000 when I was in my early 20's because of all the possibilities violent neighborhoods, disieses, and travel provided during that epoche of life. But here we are in 2007 and I've beaten the odds! I'm a father with children-still living and sometimes even productive. I don't know how many more New years I will witness, but that's the mystery of life isn't it?
When you grow up and watch the little ones around you also do the same, you wonder if you did enough, informed enough, taught the right things, said the words required for someone to benefit from your mistakes. I don't think we can ever get it all right, sometimes it seems like we can't get anything right, however, when it all seems hopelessly feeble, I watch my children laugh while doing silly things and it makes the reward for living into the new millineum worth all it took to get by the wrecks, the AIDS, and the nine mil. caps in the ass. I hope I live long enough to write books about everything possible in the line of hope for the ones who don't have that simple reward in life. Happy New Years everyone. Comments are welcomed.

WHAT A SAD DAM DAY!

You know, today was a very sad day to one man, however, it was a very victorious, justified day for millions-THAT's WITH An "M"-of other men and women. Death is never beautiful, or good, but sometimes, death is the only way to show others that they can't do the most un-human acts capable of man. I believe that millions of people were flim-flamed today. Hanging a man that has commited the crimes proven before nuetral courts of law such as publically proven against Saddam is an injustice-he should have been slowly toasted by ants like the Indians used to do to their enemies out west, allowing them time to enter every oriface available, slowly exploring the tunnels of ignorance so profoundly available in the skull of such an ass-hole. I don't know why he was provided mercy, but I hope nobody will ever say another word about him-may he rest in hell-forever and ever-being tortured as a well deserved reward for his injustice to mankind. Happy New Years you MF-enjoy it like no other! To all of the countless families of Iraq which had to endure the suffering of his totalitarian rule-have the most wonderful New Year in 2007 ever possible and total luck in your future.

MERRY CHRISTMAS READERS!

I've been busy lately shopping for Christmas and trying to get some odds and ends accomplished before the new year begins and it has been the catalyst of my tardiness in updating this blog. I am sure there are many beliefs all over the world about Christmas, Santa Claus, etc., however, this being my personal blog site, I write about how I perceive beliefs and the season to be. I was raised believing that there is a God and we celebrate the birth of his son on 25 Dec. I was never taught anything about Honnecca, Koran, or any of those other religions that claim to have supreme power over protestant beliefs. Having said that, I personally believe today's' paranoid concerns for being politically correct in everything we do is a huge crock-o-shit! If I want to spread a little cheer and shout,"MERRY CHRISTMAS!" to the top of my lungs, then frankly I don't care what people of other religions think. I don't tell the Jews when to light their candelabra, and I don't set my watch or tell Muslims when to turn and prey to Mecca either, so frankly I don't think they have any right whatsoever to say jack-shit about how I feel about Christmas or any other holiday I choose to celebrate. Therefore,





MERRY
CHRISTMAS
TO EVERYONE
WHO BELIEVES
AND HAVE A
HAPPY
NEW YEAR
TOO!!!








If you don't believe in new years, then please let me know how you set your watch.

THE POPE TALKS TURKEY IN TURKEY?!

Did the Pope say what I thought he did? Was it clear enough for all to understand? His speech in Regensburg, Germany was around 30 minutes long, but it basically said the Islam religion was spreading by violence of the sword instead of true conversion which required reason. As usual, the VERY SENSITIVE Islam world got all excited because - THE TRUTH HURTS WHEN SPELLED OUT SO CLEARLY. He further said that Christian religions deserve the same rights to practice their faith in Muslim-majority countries as Muslims practice freely in western countries.
I personally believe the Pope's speech was as Bart Simpson so clearly stated in a classic cartoon during a family analysis after Doctor Monroe determined Homer was the family problem, "Right on Doc, another successful analysis."
The Muslim religion has provided people with an excuse to commit atrocities for too many years, taking advantage of people ignorant in their interpretation of the Koran or messages provided by muslim priests-those guys in charge of teaching Gods will. If someone told you-a Baptist, Methodist, Catholic preacher/priest-to go and strap yourself to a megaton of explosives in the name of God, would there be a cause you would do that for? Would you even do that to save your own family? Think about the question...Many times we say we would do so-and-so if this-or-that happened in our lives, but when shit actually hit the fan, which option would you choose?
I feel very strong about the self-sacrifice bomber. I believe bombings of any kind-either from a plane, strapped to a person, or any other method of delivery-are cowardly and only show how little courage a man actually has to stand his ground. Come up to me and punch me in the face-show me you have guts, balls, and sufficient confidence in yourself that you can kick my ass face-to-face. Blowing up the little girl eating an ice-cream cone in the arms of her mother, permanently injuring another that lives to never walk again in the name of Islam is not only the highest level of lame possibly known to man, it is the icon of Satan, and quite frankly, that can't very well be considered an act generated by the name of God can it???

DUB-YA SIGNS ANOTHER BAD CHECK!

Today-according to the associated press out of Washington-our illustrious President signed into law yet another debatable issue to further confuse the American people. As if we weren't scared enough already with the invasion of terrorism, mail bombs, gas agents, etc., etc., we now have the right to lose our rights. That's right, you heard me right. The police state, excuse me, the official law enforcement agents of our proud country may now come to your house-simply by the testimony of another person mind you, (kind of like when we were hanging WITCHES in Salem), and take you under custody and you DO NOT have the RIGHT to protest that action. I could be missing something here, and I don't want to start any rumors either, but if what I read is true, then we are but one step away from throwing our INALIABLE RIGHTS right down the toilet like so much paper.
There are laws drawn up and passed, signed by the president, you know the BJ, but at the end of the day, someone has to enforce those laws or they don't mean anything at all. Our constitutional rights are laws which were drawn up, signed by the president, etc. Many years ago, and although some of them may be debatable, they are still in place and are SUPPOSED to be UPHELD, however, like I said before, what good are they if not enforced??? MAMA MIA, talk about your spicy meatball.....

IS TELLING A LIE WRONG??????

Remember when you were little and your parents told you not to lie? Maybe they even told you it was a sin, and even if it was a "Little WHITE lie", it was still wrong. If the act of telling a lie is wrong, then what level is it considered to be on from a scale of 1 to 10 for example? Does it depend on the results of the lie, or are all lies considered the same? If one lie is worse than another, then to what levels of punishment are they supposed to have administered? Lets try and define this from a simple lie to an all out 180 degree BOLD-FACED whopper. First lets try and define an example of a little white lie: The little child who takes something and later says they didn't do it, but after the guilt-that built in mechanism which lights up inside our minds when we do something obviously wrong-demands reprieve, the little child confesses. Now the punishment to fit the crime would probably be anything from no TV for a while to time-out in the room.
Moving right along to the whopper. Let us say that someone in our government tells us anything about anything-well we know that immediately it is a WHOPPING BIG LOAD OF BULLSHIT! Now, how do we, (as citizens of the country), punish the individual with appropriate levels to fit the crime? They aren't told that what they've said is a lie, they are simply allowed to go on as if nothing has happened, like turning the head from the child and playing make believe as if they never took anything from anyone. Well you'd better wake up AMERICANS! Those liars are taking a hell of lot more from you than your pride, your money, and your freedom-They are taking away your children when they grow up to go fight their wars over nothing more than this:

A BIG FAT WHOPPING LIE!!!

When are they going to have to be accountable for those lies?
What is the punishment for telling lies?
Who will ever help us correct this problem?
How will we keep rape, murder, and other lie originating desasters from our government in the future?
When will the people who make the laws ever become responsible for their actions of telling lies and breaking the laws they actually make for the masses?
There are much more than little WHitehouse lies going on in capital hill folks and it has to stop or we are all going to play the part of sewage and get flushed down the toilet in the near future.

BACK TO SCHOOL LITTLE DUDES!!

Don't know how the schedule is where you are located, but around here the kids started back to school this month and are now going full-blast, (unlike the sound being made around American schools), and learning faster than ever before. There are no metal detectors or police walking the hallways, no special office dedicated to investigations or other sordid crimes. The teachers are mostly young and out of college starting careers and giving it all they've got. The children actually have to study their subjects over here and there are absolutely no multiple choice tests. When a question is asked, it has an answer, and although many times the answer is subjective, that's why the teachers go to college! HELLO!!! They are supposed to be able to determine if little Johnnie's answer sucks or not. You send your children to school to learn and that's what they do. There are no lockers in the hallway. There are no soda machines, candy machines, or any other machines clogging the hallways either. The children take their books home every night-no need for lockers. They get out from 12:45 AM to 3:00 PM to eat a well prepared lunch at their home-the one they walk to and from. It's not all hard work and no play either because they have lots of recreation and run and jump like any other kids in the world. Some of the finest physicians originate in this country and provide health care throughout the globe. Many of the number one sports personnel on today's circuits are from Spain. I don't have to list names like Nadal, or Alonso because everyone knows where they stand at the tennis court, or the formula 1 race track. I hope your children are getting a good education also because that is the end result we all desire to achieve. Some schools are better than others, some more comfortable, some with more financial backing, and the best transportation and eating facilities available to the board of education, however, all of those things are really just brighter color on the painting when it boils down to the job interview after college-the brightest light always shines the strongest when it has been charged with the most potential.
Education is imperative to the survival of our world-no matter where you live-so take an interest in your child's education. Don't let their teachers pass out the multiple choice TAKE YOUR BEST GUESS TEST. Get involved in the PTA and let yourself be heard. Demand that the children be tested in a way to increase their potential, to challenge their minds instead of pushing them through the system so they can work at a minimum paying job without a future. My children may never get a super job either, but it won't be from me not trying-they do some type of homework 365 days a year. They either read a different language, study games developed by JumpStart programs on the computer, or do their required school work scheduled for that day, but they are so accustomed to the system, that they treat learning like the thing it is-just another part of everyday life............

Soooooo Much to Write-Soooo Little Time....

I discuss writing techniques, methodology, thought patterns, creativity, and anything leading towards production of morphing an idea into a final printed novel with fellow author/writers, and their experiences are very similar in nature. Although the strange individual emerges infrequently-totally misunderstood by anyone listening-the majority not only write, they actually imagine themselves as the characters they write about, trying to emulate feelings, emotions, and capabilities to be more understanding about the subject at hand. Writers with established characters which repeat themselves in each new novel tend to almost possess the writer-they wake in the night with an idea rushing to write it down before sleeping again, or dream about the individual character being themselves, even creating voices to coincide with their image of the being they have formulated. I personally don't have repetitious characters yet because each novel I have written has absolutely nothing to do with any of the previous ones. I know there are many authors which will argue this, because each one wants to be original in nature and be unique in their field. I believe that the great authors of this world we currently strive in will be determined long after they are gone simply due to the plethora of reading material available to mankind. We simply don't have time to read all the great novels out there in our lifetime. How will anyone know my writing is fantastic if they never read it? Eventually, someone will pick up one of my paperbacks and shuffle through it, but until that happens, it is simply a dead tree on the shelf collecting dust. I will write all my life, or until I go blind, or get writerscramp, but after I die, there will be many novels to read that someone in the future will benefit from. My intentions are to provide realistic possible issues to the surface for discussion, events unknown to many, daily tasks to others. I have heard several situations where authors get stuck and can't come up with subjects to write about-writersblock-but I don't know how that is possible with the unlimited possibilities flying around us every day. My problem is having too many subjects to write about and not enough years to complete them... Any authors running short on ideas feel free to ask and I will fill you with enough situations to last you a lifetime. Happy reading and good luck writing.

LIFE IS A MOVIE and WE ARE THE STARS!!!

Today's episode turned up another XXXXX number of people dead around the world. That's right. Everyday X number of people die. Dead people are everywhere. Bodies over here, carcasses over there. The reason why? Does it matter? Does anyone even care anymore? Has death become so mundane that it doesn't even phase the mind anymore? X amount of people were killed in Baghdad today from car bombs, X amount of people died from malnutrition in Zimbabweh, hundreds died when their boats overturned from trying to escape Africa and get to the shores of the Canary Islands, thousands died in the World Trade Center buildings when they collapsed after being bombed by 747 airliners, etc. etc. etc..... When did we decide to accept these numbers as normal everyday life? Why do we allow these events to happen, yet become so passive, and so caring, and concerned when criminals are treated less than perfect? You know what I mean!! We know what is right and what is wrong. Many times the writing is on the wall, but we ignore it because of some bullshit law that was designed, written, and placed into the books by criminals themselves. What we are doing by accepting these "LAWS" or policies that DO NOT protect the innocent citizen, but instead prevent ENFORCEMENT of the LAW by either tying the law officer's hands or the judges ability to actually judge, allowing criminal activity to GET AWAY WITH MURDER!! What can anyone do that isn't a lawyer, judge, lawmaker, senator, or representative do? Well my first solution to this issue would normally be to vote the bastards and bastardeses out of office and find someone honest enough to get back to sincere law enforcement but that can't be done when electronic voting has been clearly seen as unreliable and subject to total manipulation. Since we can't get the criminals out of politics, then what can we do as a collective society? Are we simply hosed? Do we just make sure our guns are fully loaded at the house and shoot any body that tries to get past our electric fences and killer dogs? The little lady comes to mind across the street bringing an apple pie to welcome the new neighbor into the neighborhood and gets shot before she can reach the doorsteps. Has our country lost it's FU%^(ng mind? Have we gone so far off the edge that we are living a damned Arnold Swartzennager movie to escape reality? I don't accept all the dead bodies....I don't accept my daughter getting raped because she was in the wrong place at the wrong time....I don't accept my family being punished and forced to live in a terrible neighborhood because my representative considers their yacht and lambrogini more important than our living conditions...I definitely don't accept a president that puts his own personal gains far above and beyond the terrible living conditions he has placed the entire world in by acting like a spoiled brat instead of a man in control of the most powerful country in the world...I don't accept ducking my head in shame when I venture outside the USA and am considered the lowest of dung under the boots of a pig farmer...and most of all, I don't accept my fellow Americans in arms losing their lives every day for something that makes no sense whatsoever in any shape, form, or fashion-NO CAUSE!!!!!!!IF we are watching life, and it is a movie, then it would appear to me that this one is going to have a hell of a bad ending..............

LIMITING BOOKS TO A MINIMUM!

What if tomorrow someone introduced a headline which rang throughout the world with the power of the sound of bells from Notre Dame screaming, "THERE WILL BE NO MORE BOOKS WRITTEN ANYMORE-ANYWHERE-IN ANY LANGUAGE-WE ALREADY HAVE TOO MUCH TO READ!"
Would these simply be words on the front page cover? Printing factories would have a few things to say about it I'm sure, (since it's their bread and butter), but we could easily survive on current parchments indeed. There are so many avenues to read from today covering every subject imaginable-and many which aren't-that no one alive today can possibly read everything that exists out there if they did nothing else again in their lives except read. Hell, no body will even read this waffle I'm typing now, so why do people insist on expressing their opinions, elating us with their charms, and persisting to seek out that ever lingering desire to be placed into the eye of the ever watchful public? Why do more and more books on rubbish keep leaking into the system which cover items such as Watching Bumpers Rust, or Have You Ever Looked at Life Through the Eyes of a Cow? People are publishing their own books through PODs left and right-since breaking the ice with a publishing company is next to impossible-and the level of writing has diluted the industry so harshly that people only read the first chapter or so, then throw the book away if there is no interest. I have written several great novels which tell stories of the wildest imagination one could hope to find, however, without the publisher's push, they remain lost in the world of Bumper Rust and Cow's Eyes. The bottom line is that we have to chose what we read in today's society since there are so many viruses mixed in with the good, better, and best novels and making those choices can be hard. Walk into whichever bookstore you want to today and watch which books reach out and grab you, verses the ones who meekly hide on their quiet shelves, hoping no one will disturb their peace. The books which grab you have cost someone a very large amount of money to produce COVERS that REACH OUT and SLAP YOU IN THE FACE! Those babies cost a lot to have the sparkles, and the vivid movement, and even the voice that speaks to you as you pass by from the micro-chip embedded in the cover. Whatever it takes to get your money, it will be done, amen.
SOOOOOOOOOOO, would you give a damn if all printing stopped around the globe?

FOUNTAIN OF WINE

Today I had the pleasure of driving my son over to a small village where celebrations were taking place to give thanks for this year's bumper crop of grapes. The method they use is simple: They fill a huge fountain in the middle of their downtown area with wine and everyone fills their cup. The fountain spews the crimson liquid out of an angel's mouth straight into the air about a yard above it's face, then drains into the huge 2nd story bowl where bunches of concord colored grapes hang off the edge allowing the current bounty to drain into the lower-much larger-bottom level of the fountain. There is no cost. There are no fights. No body gets drunk-unless some stupid American tourist happens to stumble into the city accidentally. There are 40 to 50 booths available along a shaded promenade providing various items one might find at a flea market. The fiesta celebrates, however, it also promotes the local wine industry and provides a great excuse for everyone to get out in the street and relax in a world so full of violence that everyone is sick of hearing about it. What a pleasant Sunday, I think I even heard the church bells ringing as well while I sipped on a taste of the first red wine of 2006. I hope you will also find a way to relax your mind wherever you are, and turn off the tube long enough to smell the wine.

AMERICANs & GEOGRAPHY- DOESN'T MIX

I AM PISSED! Did you hear what happened in the upper regions of Hesmaklamcha? When I first read it, I thought it had to be a miss print. How could a nation of Lamsemions treat their own people like that? It was openly admitted by the cabinet of international nations for peace, that the borders of Hesmaklamcha would be securely guarded by troops from the peace keeping forces in Europe until their people could evacuate the country. During this period of exodus, the Tramposeenie faction attacked it's own people with hand made Molotov cocktail bombs, burning innocent women and children trying to race to freedom. Shots rung out in the air during the skirmish and disaster ruled the streets when finally a car bomb went off and cleared the trail of freedom seekers in half. The bloodbath went on for only a few minutes, but little time is required to quench the thirst of disaster. The Hesmaklamcha released a DVD to the press and will be aired tomorrow night on the evening news. I guess what gets me the most is why would a people attack their own kind in order to make a point? How could someone murder their own people for whatever they did? And most of all, WHERE THE HELL IS HESMAKLAMCHA?
The news is smothered in reports about people being attacked here, and killed there, and even with their simple maps they use to EDUCATE US STUPID AMERICANS IN GEOGRAPHY, the majority of us could give a rat's ass where Hisbalue or Peshbachan is located. We don't have family there, nor investments, or anything else there except maybe a family member fighting a war to free some bunch of foreigners that will only turn around when we leave and start cutting each other's throats again as soon as the last soldier gets on his transport home. The only reason we are fighting anywhere is so easily understood by the common person, that the nightly news insults us more than the occasional middle finger one points in our general direction on the occasional traffic close-call, IT IS ABOUT MONEY!!!!
Do you see American soldiers fighting in Africa down in the jungles to supply all of the starving tribes with food, technology, etc? Are we fighting in the jungles of South America to end the production of plants creating cocaine, heroine, etc? No way man!!!! Are you shittin me????? Capitalistic rich only go where the benefits are. If I take over your country and get petroleum, then watch out cause I'm going to kick your ass!! If you can provide me some type of geographical advantage, watch your back!!!! Those with power have always-throughout time-bullied their way into more and more riches.
When America falls, and every super-power which has ever existed on our globe has fallen to either time or other more powerful nations, it will do just what my father always told me growing up as a young man:
Son, if you get in a fight to protect yourself, and the other guy is twice your size, looks mean and maybe even growls at you while punching his fist in his hand, always remember this, THE BIGGER THEY ARE, THE HARDER THEY FALL, AND TAKING OUT THEIR KNEE WILL ENSURE THAT THEY SQUALL!
My dad was generally a pacifistic person, but he hated bullies, and always prepared me in self defense while growing up. I grew up during predestined wars among blacks in the south, school district separations, and many other social changes that added fuel to the fires of life. My dad was a veteran from WWII and only taught me techniques resulting in immediate results-non of this Haaaaa, Heeeee, shit you see on the Chinese movies where Kung-Fu experts fly in the air and walk on water. More like Stephen Siegal moves-Break first and talk later. I am just around the corner from 50 years old now and during my life, I used those techniques to save my life and the life of a friend 3 or 4 times. It always worked, and I always walked away-Thanks DAD.
Anyway, back to the issue-America is the biggest Giant to ever emerge in the history of mankind. Rome had many roads built, but I don't think they competed with the Interstate infrastructure the USA has. Our nation is powerfull-without going into detail, SAM'S GOT SOME POWERFUL SHIT! BUT, The bigger they are, the harder they fall, and I don't know who's gonna take the knee, but I hope I'm not around to hear it SQUALL.......

How Much Time Do Our Senators Waste?

I was scanning a little info today referred by a friend and discovered that our Senators have been quite busy over the last year proposing bills for various reasons and realized why our system is so coagulated. How do they have time to do anything if they are proposing hundreds of bills-which must go through the process of a bill to become law, (Remember Bill on Capitol Hill?), instead of spending time trying to better the area they have been given responsibility for-the state their constituents live in FOR EXAMPLE?! First let me say that I am not a graduate of political science and my opinion probably means absolutely nothing whatsoever, however, I would think that the people that read this are capable of READING and can come to their own conclusion, so here is only one example out of thousands which exist at http://thomas.loc.gov/ and can be reviewed at your own discretion.

102. S.AMDT.1660 to H.R.2862 To establish a congressional commission to examine the Federal, State, and local response to the devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina in the Gulf Region of the United States especially in the States of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and other areas impacted in the aftermath and make immediate corrective measures to improve such responses in the future.
Sponsor: Sen Clinton, Hillary Rodham [NY] (introduced 9/8/2005) Cosponsors (16)
Latest Major Action: 9/14/2005 Amendment SA 1660 ruled out of order by the chair.

Maybe I'm just completely in the dark on political issues, but what does a senator in NEW YORK have to do with problems in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama? Don't those states have their own elected Senators? Isn't it their responsibility to create the paperwork for bills dealing with their specific states? I just made a simple mathematic equation to estimate how many bills must be reviewed and it is simply 50 x 100 = 5000. Poor Bush, no wonder he makes such FU$^@D up decisions-he's busy vetoing, signing, or passing over 20 bills a day.

While I'm on the subject, have you written to your Senator or Representative today, yesterday, ever in your life? You have the right-as a free American citizen-to write to your representative and find out exactly what they are doing for you and how they represent what you THE PEOPLE want done for you!!!!!!!!!

WORLWIDE HELL!

Let me think just a minute here. Wasn't that guy Hitler the one we studied about in European history that committed genocide against people called JEWS? I believe-correct me if I'm wrong-his soldiers eliminated JEWS by gassing thousands of them in concentration camps. Are they just now getting pissed about that? Are they confusing Germans with Palestinians? Are we talking eye for an eye or what? It sure as hell doesn't look like DO UNTO OTHERS kind of stuff. READ MY BOOK PEOPLE!!! It explains where all this crap ends up and why......
I promised myself I wouldn't fall into the radical corner by watching the news since our fiestas ended yesterday, (my head still hurts from the music, heat, and mostly the good wine), but there is nothing good on the news at all. The whole world is going flipping mad. Read the epilogue of War and Peace, it kind of sums up the funnel effect our world is being tugged into-like a black hole in outer space but worse. No matter who is elected into power, now there's a great term, (INTO POWER), they will take up where DUBYA leaves off and sink us deeper in debt, closer to the inevitable, and ruin the most powerful country in the world. Can you imagine that? The greatest country ever formed by people with great intentions coming to the highest power ever known to mankind, ending up totally collapsed by incompetent people making major decisions for whatever personal gain they might attain. A country only being independent for a little over 225 years, then failing the test of time and bowing it's head in shame for not listening to it's people and doing the right things to better manage itself. I hate to see a country so proud with such a great track record fall from the pedestal, but people, unless something is done to prevent future leaders from having such total control over our lives, then the good ole USA-our country-is going to end up in the toilet, and outside influence will have their hand on the lever that will flush it straight down the drain.
You ask yourself, "Okay Mr. SmartyPants, what do you suggest we do?"
Considering the current situation America is in, I personally believe that anyone could do a better job-no matter what their party is. Even I could run the country better than what the current office is doing and I know very little about political science, however, if senior graduates with 4.0 averages coming out of college were appointed to positions by a quality controlled team of scholars, on a random basis-I don't mean taking every high and mighty richy rich from the Ivy league-and placing them in all public offices from the senate and house of representatives down as many tiers as necessary for publicly elected personnel, then our country could start fresh with new ideas, improved methods of procedures, and no outside influences would have a part in the decision making processes. All would have to be native born Americans with clean records and a committee would be created to investigate any government department to eliminate possible outside criminal influence from taking place. All government expenditures would be made public record accessible through the internet by anyone filing taxes in the USA-we the people have a right to know how our money gets spent-and if enough taxpayers disagreed with how it was being spent, we could bitch about it formally and have it eliminated or a legitimate justification provided-just like the IRS makes us do, SHOW ME THE RECEIPT. The bottom line is this people: There are many ways to get dirt out of the house, but someone has to pick up the broom and push it or it will never be removed!!

WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO US?

What has happened to our manners? You know the ones I'm talking about. The ones like do unto others, thank you, your welcome, etc. Remember when it was second nature to correct someone when they forgot those manners? Remember when you wouldn't think twice to help someone who was being picked on at the playground-to stand up for them? What happened to those manners we used to have? It seems as if-AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG-our country appears to have forgotten their manners as well. Many whole countries have forgotten their basic manners! How come we allow our fellow man-people with eyes, noses, and throats-to be so openly supressed by bullies and not help them from being picked on? Quite clearly someone throwing rockets and missiles at a group of people which only have rocks for defense seems somewhat lop-sided doesn't it? Why are we as Americans so willing to bow our heads-as if in prayer-and give a great big huge smacker right dead on the ass of Isreal? What did the Jewish community do for America that was so great we have to give them BILLIONS of US Dollars every year? What happened to our manners? Where are they? Will we get them back or simply go on kissing behinds?
