This failing economy thing

2008-09-16T14:16:00.003-04:00

This thing about all the failing investment banks. Well there is a easy fix.

Everyone needs to forgive everyone their debt. That's right just forgive all debt in America. Some will think that this is just stupidity. Think long and hard on this simple fix. If no one owed anybody and money than all your physical assets are yours. Your home your car your education your IRA. All of your assets belong to you.

Now you say wait a minute.What about what I owe on my Master Card,that debt is forgiven. The people who gave you that loan were forgiven by the people they borrowed from.

ALL IS FORGIVEN We begin again and this time avoid the mistakes of the past.
which by the way all are the fault of G R E E D one of the things our creator warned us to avoid. we ENVY others wealth and want more than him. GREED

WAKE UP AMERICA

Classical Values :: Clinging to the complexities of blindly pessimistic elitism: "http://classicalvalues.com/cgi-bin/pings.cgi/6775"

This Article spoke to me. I could not agree more. I realize most of the people that reed this blog(meaning mine) won't get it,but very few of them get me at all anyway. I hope if Obama wins,(which I dought) that it is only a one term thing. I see him as a mamby-pamby wishey washy kind of person. Although before the election I will try to get to know him better. He may be like me,a very private self protective person.

As President of The United Sates he may shine with the light that will inspire all Americans.
let's hope.

“I guess about the only thing you’re really going to remember about my son is that he did the right thing at the right time.”

What more can be said. Well if that is all that can be said,it is one hell of a thing to say of a man. We all say we would give our life for our children. BUT WOULD WE. This man gave his life to save others who he knew probably as comrades in arms. When they lay me to rest in Arlington I will make it a point to stop by his grave and compliment him on his HONORABLE SACRIFICE.

Gmail - Fwd: allan sheldon has sent you an article from UPI.com - ethanthom.allan@gmail.com: "http://www.upi.com/NewsTrack/Quirks/2008/05/30/denmark_sets_first_masturbate-a-thon/4703/"

UPI calls this quirks This isn't Quirky it is blatant exabitionism. As a young gay man in the 70's I will admit to some things that I did that would turn your stomach,or at least offend your sense of decency.

This however would now be were I draw a line. If and when I did things like this I was 20 and one of the Beautiful people. But seeing me do this now,would be enough to make me no longer talk to me. How could anyone do this. I do hope all that participate are Beautiful People.

Memorial Day

2008-05-26T14:03:00.002-04:00

This has been a memorable day for me. This morning I went to visit my grave at Arlington. Not as strange as it sounds. I was in the Honor Guard when I was in the USAF. Went to a lot of burials at Arlington. I loved the place. I am very much into my country. If I wasn't 61 years old I would love to go wack some towel-heads.

IT STICKS IN MY CRAW The way the guys that have returned seem to only get the respect they deserve when they come home in a box. I believe we should do all that we can for the men and women that come home broken. Eath

While I was surfing around this morning I ran into this article.It was like an Epiphany for me. How wonderful it would be to be able to show others in this country what can be possible when we cooperate with each other and hold no animosity towards anyone.Imagine being able to feel totally free and safe. No crime,no sexual perversion, no drunk driving,not a care in the world.Just contribute to the society what your good at and all that is available is available to all.No jealousy or greed,because there is no money,we have no need for it.

I know these ideas are far out but this is the kind of thinking that greatness is made out of.
Thanks for listening to my ramblings. Eath

There is one thing that does stick in my craw.Related only to the volunteer work that I do.
I volunteer at a local food pantry,recently we moved to a new location.There was two of us that did a majority of the work.Only one got public recognition. As much as the other man may have needed the recognition. Not mentioning the other was a little Rude.To say the least.

Do you think that the US is capable of planting that fungus.Would the US do something like that.We have to pay over $100 a barrel for their oil. Why not make them pay over $100 a bushel for American wheat. No the United States wouldn't do that? Why don't we do things like that, all is fair in war isn't it?

Danger, BBC! | Danger Room from Wired.com: "Danger, BBC!
By Sharon Weinberger EmailDecember 21, 2007 | 1:00:00 PMCategories: Blog Bidness, Iron Triangle

BBC World Service has a very even-handed report on some of the ongoing procurement scandals in the Pentagon. It includes excerpts of an interview with me, talking about Air Force procurement scandals, but the focus is on Pennsylvania Congressman John Murtha and earmarking."

I listened to this BBC program this morning it STICKS IN MY CRAW that all Americans are not up in arms about the systems of earmarks. This is (although not illegal) a system that needs a through overhaul.

There is altogether too much hanky panky going on in Washington. We need people in Congress and the White House that can commit to the values we all grew up with. Honesty,Integrity,Fair Play and a commitment to SPREAD THE WEALTH. Too few people hold too much of the wealth,we need to spread it out.

We are the richest most powerful people in the world,LET'S ACT LIKE IT AGAIN.

Who needs money

2007-11-17T11:28:00.000-05:00

This is a question that has bugged me for a while now. If 1% of the population holds 90% of the wealth in the nation. Why do we need currency. All the other animals on the planet get along just fine without currency,why do we need to have it.Some would say to level the playing field,to negate the law of the jungle,survival of the fittest. Well if 1% of the population holds 90% of the wealth,and we are using money as a rule of fitness,(and we are) what about the rest of us.Are we not entitled too.

We as a society preach one thing and practice the opposite.This hypocritical thing,STICKS IN MY CRAW!

Classical Values :: What part of "make no law" don't they understand?: "http://classicalvalues.com/cgi-bin/pings.cgi/5779"

When Religion was brought up in a recent gathering of Thologist and Laymen and just us guys,I was asked the question "What religion do you believe in?" My jaw dropped to the floor when I said "ALLANISM" No one was more surprised than me. All of a sudden there was an Elephant in the room that no one wanted to acknowledge.As for the point pf making laws that reflect my believes,that is number one on the not to do list. A list that is not written down yet. I will publish a I will do and an a I will not do list in the future.

I want to know just how many people there is in the world that feel the way I and a few others do. Here are a few. I will only kill to save my own life. (this also allows for the meat to sustain my life) also a big one (I will not lie) there are no shades of lie or anything else for that matter. (Land and commodies must be shared eg:Oil,Water,Minerals,ect. This is still a rough idea More later Eath

Kennedy, Cleland: Stop Messing with Vets' Jobs | Danger Room from Wired.com: "Kennedy, Cleland: Stop Messing with Vets' Jobs"
This is the kind of thing that really STICKS IN MY CRAW We send our finest young men and women to kill and die for the things that make this country great,and when they come home we don't honor them we SCREW them. I thought it was the law that returning vets were guaranteed their jobs back,what happened to that? I go to war,come back broken and my employer,if he hires me back at all,cancels my medical insurance because I have a existing condition.A condition that was caused (by the way) because I went to war for YOU. We need to fix all the inequities in our system of government.

Give the vets their due!!

AT&T Considering Scary, Content-Recognizing Anti-Piracy Filter for Entire Network

Remember YouTube's content filtering system? AT&T is mulling setting one up across its whole network. BusinessWeek's reporting AT&T's in talks with NBC Universal and Disney to possibly use content-recognition tech developed by Vobile—a company they've all invested in—to block pirated material from being sent to and fro along its network.

There has been a lot of chatter about the landing in Roswell,NM in 1947. As a boomer born in 1947 I believe I know the truth of this thing that has grabbed the imagination of America. The spacecraft that landed contained a genetic change to the Human Genome,that will be needed in the future to insure the survival of the race. Those of us that have the gene know that we are special,unlike the rest of you. Not better,just more prepared to live in a much changed world.

This post just blew my mind. I know be sensitive and all that. But the only people that can smoke in Vancouver are Muslims. This just goes too far. ONLY IN AMERICA OR CANADA.

You have to see this study. I must be crazy,I think it says we are more likely to elect a woman who is a Evangelical Christian. Hey what would be so bad about that. Think of it A Christian that isn't afraid to listen to the people.

That would be better than the bullies that are in charge now.
