Hi,
Much as this blogger loves Paris and France, Italy and England in general, this blogger has no admiration for their choices of governing systems which seem to get worse as the years go by as do AMERICA'S.
That is why I am surprised that America is close to becoming France in its dithering desire to protect Americans. The story this week on the change in identification from driver's license to a REAL ID under the REAL ID ACT of 2005 (thank you-this time it IS President Bush's fault) is an unbelievably French mass of bureaucratic proof of being who you are, what you are and most of all PROVING that you are indeed an AMERICAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NEVER MIND THAT IT IS AN INSULT THESE DAYS TO ASK AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT FOR DOCUMENTATION OR TO WAIT 5 YEARS TO BECOME A CITIZENS !!!!!!!!!!!! OUR BUREAUCRACY
FIGURES IT'S BETTER TO SLAM AMERICAN CITIZENS WITH THE NEED TO DOCUMENT PROOF OF THEIR BEING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LISTEN UP, PARTICULARLY FOR ANYONE BORN AFTER DEC. 1. 1964 BECAUSE YOU GOTTA GET IT DONE BEFORE DECEMBER 1, 2014 AND THOSE BORN AFTER THAT DATE MUST HAVE IT DONE BY DECEMBER 1, 2017. IN BETWEEN THOSE DATES THE UNDOCMENTED LATTER CAN DO DASTARDLY THINGS AS ONLY CITIZENS CAN DREAM UP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND AFTERWARDS ALL OF US GOOD AND OBEYING CITIZENS GET A REAL ID CARD WITH A GOLD STAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOSH, GOLLY, GEE WHIZ AND JOLLY, HOLLY HOLIDAY, THIS CITIZEN CAN HARDLY WAIT TO GIVE UP ONE MORE FREEDOM TO BE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Of course as more and more often we are required to show our driver's license for other than driving, we should have seen this coming. And as more and more we accept the idea the Federal Government's role is to protect us, they gain more and more control over our lives. We get what we ask for and THAT IS MORE AND MORE CONTROL OVER OUR LIVES WHILE THOSE WHO ARE CUNNING ENOUGH TO SLIP INTO AMERICA WITHOUT CREDENTIALS GO FREE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALMOST MAKES YOU WANT TO BECOME AN ILLEGAL ALIEN, DOESN'T IT ?????????????????
NOW GET THIS !!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO HAVE TO GET YOUR GOLD STAR REAL ID CARD: A CERTIFIED U.S. BIRTH CERTIFICATE, A PASSPORT WITH THE PERSON'S CURRENT NEW NAME OR YOUR MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE OR A COURT ORDER FOR NAME CHANGE. THAT IS ALL OR SOME OF THE ABOVE ACCORDING TO THE OFFICIAL IN CHARGE !!!!!!!!!!!! PROOF OF A VALID SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER (THAT'S EVEN THOUGH WE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO GIVE OUT THAT NUMBER TO ANYONE--GO AHEAD BREAK IT OUT !!!!!!) YOU CAN USE A PAY STUB WITH THE NUMBER ON IT; YOU MUST HAVE TWO (not one but two documents) to prove your residential address that can INCLUDE A DEED, A PAYMENT BOOK, MORTGAGE PAYMENTS, VEHICLE REGISTRATION OR TITLE, A UTILITY BILL AND GET THIS A RENTAL AGREEMENT. What the devil does that prove to anyone. You could move out tomorrow ?????????????
THERE MAY BE OTHER REQUIREMENTS NOT COVERED BY THE ARTICLE AND REMEMBER ALL THESE IDS MUST BE IN YOUR NAME TO OBTAIN THE REAL CARD ID.
AND THEN AND ONLY THEN YOU GET A GOLD STAR (STAR) FRIENDS--A GOLD STAR--IMAGINE TO CARRY WITH YOU AT ALL TIMES UNDER PENALTY OF THE LAW !!!!!!!!!!!! AIN'T WE JUST A REAL, HONEST TO GOODNESS FRENCH BUREAUCRACY!! CALL THE TAX COLLECTOR FOR THE REAL ID DETAILS TO BE SURE THEY HAVEN'T ADDED MORE IDENTITY TO YOUR HONEST TO GOODNESS "REAL" NEED TO "PROVE" YOUR CITIZENSHIP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OR YOU COULD CALL "THE ILLEGAL ALIEN BUREAU" (USCIS) AND SEE IF THEY'LL LET YOU JOIN. THEY HAVE ALL SORTS OF GOODIES TO OFFER AND NO IDENTIFICATION IS REQUIRED UNLESS YOU SPEAK ENGLISH AND THEN IT GETS A LITTLE ROCKY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IF YOU REALLY TRULY WANT A GOLD STAR FOR YOUR EFFORTS AT PROVING WHO YOU REALLY ARE THAT MAY NOT TURN OUT AS WELL AS YOU BELIEVE. CONSIDER THE MAN WHO WAS DECLARED DEAD BY THE GOVERNMENT AND IN SPITE OF HIS PRESCENCE HERE ON EARTH CANNOT CONVINCE THE WISDOM OF THE BUREAURACRATS THAT HE IS ALIVE !!!!!!!!!!!IF THIS SHOULD BEFALL YOU THEN IT'S THE ILLEGAL ROUTE FOR YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS BLOGGER NEVER IN A LONG LIFE BELIEVED THIS COUNTRY WOULD COME TO A POINT OF BECOMING LIKE THE WESTERN EUROPE COUNTRIES IT FOUGHT SO HARD TO FREE ITSELF FROM IN ITS EARLY DAYS. FRANKLY, THEY HAVE RECAPTURED AND ENSLAVED US IN SPITE OF ALL OUR FOREFATHERS TRIED TO DO TO PROTECT US.
THIS BLOGGER ASSERTS THAT THIS SIMPLY GOES TO PROVE THAT IF YOU WANT PROTECTION, LOOK TO YOUR OWN ABILITIES TO MAKE YOURSELF SAFE. THE BIGGER ISSUES LIKE THE NEW YORK TWIN TOWERS ARE NOT IN YOUR CONTROL NOR THE GOVERNMENT'S. THINGS HAPPEN, DREADFUL THINGS, AND WE HAVE NO WAY AROUND THAT. TAKE CARE OF YOUR LIFE AND THOSE YOU LOVE AND MAKE SURE THEY UNDERSTAND THAT NO PROTECTION EXISTS BEYOND THAT!!!!!
IT SHOULDN'T NEED TO BE SAID BUT THIS BLOGGER FEARS THAT MANY BELIEVE OTHERWISE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"OH WHAT A TANGLED WEB WE WEAVE, WHEN FIRST WE PRACTICE TO DECEIVE" POST 180
Hi,
President Obama could not have proven the critics who say he lies big time MORE RIGHT than with the Obama Care debacle. Promising folks they could keep their current insurance (which they should be able to do) then having them learn that he lied to sell them Obama Care is pretty potent proof of his penchant for lying to get what he believes is correct!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CORRECT OR NOT CORRECT !!!!!!!!!!!! A very typical Communist tactic. AND A PRESIDENT REFLECTING CITIZEN ETHICS.
This blogger recognizes that we get what we deserve. This nation gave up the honesty ethic some time back when lying became rampant again as folks concealed their penchant for illegal doings like drugs. Lying simply became the norm instead of a sometimes thing. AND LYING TO GET WHAT YOU WANT WHETHER IT'S RIGHT OR NOT IS EXACTLY WHAT THE MAN WHO REPRESENTS THIS COUNTRY DID !!!!!!!! AND HAS DONE ON MANY OTHER ISSUES !!!!!!!!!!!! This blogger certainly hopes you enjoyed your illicit pleasures. THE COST HAS BECOME GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!
NOW WHAT ?????????????? HOW DO WE EVER KNOW WHAT IS REAL OR PRETEND, 'ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS' AND DOROTHY IN OZ MIGHT ASK ???????? THE SAD, SAD IRONY IS THAT WE DON'T !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THERE IS NO LONGER ANYWHERE WE CAN DEPEND UPON FOR THE TRUTH. WE ARE WALKING BLIND INTO THE FUTURE AND FALLING INTO THE PITFALLS AS WE GO !!!!!!!!!!!!
THE REASON WE HAVE ALL THIS HEAVILY SIGNED PAPERWORK BEHIND US FROM THE FRAMERS OF OUR CONSTITUTION AND BILL OF RIGHTS IS THEY THOUGHT TO AVOID AN AMERICA BASED ON A DICTATOR'S LIES AND EMBELLISHMENTS FOR HIS WELFARE NOT OURS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE CANNOT CALL OBAMA A DICTATOR (YET?????) BUT HE CERTAINLY HAS TAKEN ON THAT ROLE IN REFUSING TO WORK WITH OUR CONGRESS AND YIELDING NOT ONE INCH ON A VERY UNPOPULAR HEALTH CARE BILL THAT WAS RAMMED DOWN CITIZENS' THROATS WHETHER THEY WANTED IT OR NOT.
IF HE WALKS THE WALK, TALKS THE TALK, AND MAKES THE MOVES OF A DICTATOR CAN HE BE OTHER THAN A DICTATOR ????????????
NOW, AMERICA IS TASTING THE TRUE FLAVOR OF COMMUNISM AS RULES ARE MADE AND ENFORCED THAT ACTUALLY HARM THE CITIZENRY RATHER THAN HELP THEM. THIS IS ONLY THE FIRST OF MANY EDICTS THAT WILL COME DOWN THE PIKE UNDER THE GUISE OF JUSTICE UNTIL CITIZENS ACCEPT THEIR FATE. NO MORE FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY ????????? BECAUSE THOSE IN CHARGE ADJUDGE WE CANNOT HANDLE OUR OWN WELFARE OR MAKE GOOD DECISIONS !!!!!!!!!!!!
THE FIRST BITTER TASTE OF SLAVERY !!!!!!!!!! SLAVERY TO A WAY OF LIFE THAT WILL NO LONGER ALLOW YOU TO THINK FOR YOURSELF BUT TEACH YOU TO THINK ???????????? RIGHT ?????? IE; THE WAY THE COMMUNIST LEADERS WANT YOU TO THINK !!!!!!!!!!!! AND YOU'LL BE TAUGHT IT'S THE ONLY CORRECT WAY !!!!!!!!! IF YOU DEVIATE THERE WILL BE LOSS OR PUNISHMENT OR BOTH. IT'S NO LONGER FAR OUT RHETORIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S HERE AND NOW !!!!!!!!
BECAUSE WITH LYING CONSTANT HOW CAN A RATIONAL MAN OR WOMAN KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A LIE AND THE TRUTH UNTIL THE CONSEQUENCES BECOME RAMPANT AS WITH THE HEALTH CARE LAW ???????????????
THAT'S RIGHT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THERE IS NO WAY !!!!!!!!!!! AND AS MORE AND MORE PEOPLE RECOGNISE THIS , THEY ADD THEIR LIES AD INFINITUM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive" AIN'T JUST POETRY FRIEND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE LIVING IT !!!!!!!!!! FEELING IT !!!!!!!!!! DID YOU THINK THE 'DEATH PANELS' WERE JUST A FIGMENT OF SOMEONE'S IMAGINATION. IF SO THIS BLOGGER SUGGESTS YOU WATCH YOUR BACKSIDE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TELL CONGRESS THAT IF HE WILL NOT ALLOW A BILL TO MAKE ALL THIS RIGHT, THEN IT SHOULD BE CAUSE FOR IMPEACHMENT !!!!!!!!!!!! HE IS PUNISHING THE VERY CITIZENS WHO HAVE ACTED IN THEIR BEST INTEREST AND STAYED OFF THE DOLE !!!!!!!!!!!! THAT IS NOT THE ACT OF A PRESIDENT WHO CARES ABOUT HIS CITIZENS. IT IS THE ACT OF AN EGOMEISTER WHO ONLY CARES ABOUT BEING RIGHT !!!!!!!!!!!
IF WE CANNOT BRING HIM DOWN AND HE WILL NOT COOPERATE WITH THE CONGRESS AGAINST THIS TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE THEN WE WILL HAVE TO TAKE DOWN HIS PARTY OF FOOLS AND REPLACE IT WITH AMERICANS WHO ARE NOT COMMUNISTS. THEY HAVE GONE TOO FAR AND MUST BE STOPPED !!!!!!!!!!!! OBAMA WILL GET NOWHERE WITHOUT THOSE WHO ARE BEHIND HIM !!!!!!!!
WHY SHOULD THIS GREAT COUNTRY BE IN A STATE OF PANIC CAUSED BY ONLY A RELATIVELY FEW INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE WREAKED HAVOC ACROSS THE WORLD WITH THEIR ANCIENT IDEAS AND FAILING ECONOMICS ?????????? TRY TO UNDERSTAND THAT ONLY 20% OF THE POPULATION CAUSES THESE PROBLEMS BECAUSE THEY WORK AT IT FULL TIME FOR THE EVENTUAL WEALTH WHILE YOU ARE TRYING TO EARN A LIVING, RAISE A FAMILY AND BE A GOOD CITIZEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT'S TIME TO RECOGNIZE THE REALITY OF WHAT'S HAPPENING BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE !!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS HEALTH CARE BILL GIVES THEM THE RIGHT TO INTERFERE WITH AMERICAN LIVES AS NO OTHER BILL HAS DONE AND IT WAS PASSED WHILE THE DEMOCRATS RULED CONGRESS AT THE TIME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE COMMUNISTS WANT THIS BILL FOR JUST THAT REASON.
TO CONTROL AMERICA AND AMERICANS !!!!!!!!!!!!
HEATH CARE IS CONSIDERED GRABBING CITIZENS BY THE BALLS OR THE TITS AND INFLICTING CONTINUING PAIN TO BRING THEM UNDER CONTROL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE SCREAMING IS TO BE STUDIOUSLY IGNORED BY OFFICIALS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wake up America.

THE ROAD TO CHAOS! POST179
Hi,
This blogger certainly hopes President Obama's administration set aside in the health budget a generous allowance for nervous disorders because when the fallout happens after the hash that they've made of the health care sign up, it's going to be formidable.
Even after having computers since the sixties, this blogger still gets annoyed with the surreal machinations many programmers think up to enhance your confusion !!!!!!!!!!!! One company, whom this blogger won't name, specializes in complex programs for creative folks, who suffer greatly from the woes the program creates. The myriad information that they fail to include, they excuse with expensive learning seminars plus pokey bubs who attempt to solve the problems created by the company's "genius".
UNFORTUNATELY AN OLD TRICK IN CYBER SPACE IS TO CREATE PROGRAMS THAT JUST WON'T WORK UNLESS YOU HOLD THE MAGIC KEY OR FIND A COSTLY SEMINAR. NOT EVEN THE FOLKS WORKING ON THE PROGRAM SET-UP HAVE A CLUE TO THE FORMULA TO PRODUCE A FLAWLESS PROGRAM. THE HEADS OF GENIUS ARE TOO FAR PHYSICALLY REMOVED FROM THE BODIES OF THE GRUNTS.
WE, THE VICTIMS, HAVE TO PUT UP WITH THIS TRAVESTY OF INTELLIGENT TECHNICAL PROCEDURES VS. NORMAL, RATIONAL THINKING !!!!!!!!!!!!
THAT DOESN'T GET OBAMA OFF THE HOOK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UNFORTUNATELY IF HE HAD THE SLIGHTEST BIT OF BACKGROUND IN ADMINISTRATIVE HANDLING, HE'D HAVE INSTITUTED THOSE EXPENSIVE PROGRAMS, FORCE-FED THEM TO HIS STAFF OF MINI-TECHS AND THEN TAKEN UP PRAYER (A REAL NO-NO IN HIS BOOK) TO GET THEM THROUGH !!!!!!!!!!!!
BEING A LAYMAN AND NOT AN ADMINISTRATOR HE STUCK WITH HIS FANTASY THAT ALL WOULD WORK OUT REALLY WELL IN HIS TECHNOLOGICAL WORLD OF INSTANT INFORMATION !!!!!!!!!!
GLITCHES ARE WHAT EXECUTIVES IN POWERFUL COMPANIES (OR COUNTRIES) ARE EXPECTED TO OVERCOME !!!!!!!!!!! THEY DO SO THAT PROFITS DON'T SAG OR LAG !!!!!!!!!!! TOO BAD. SO SAD. PROFIT DOWN THE DRAIN. OH, THAT'S RIGHT. THE GOVERNMENT DOESN'T WORRY ABOUT PROFIT ONLY LOSS. THE COSTS OF OBAMA CARE JUST WENT UP ANOTHER COUPLE OF MILLION DOLLARS !!!!!!!!!!!!
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPERTS IN GOVERNMENT CAN ALWAYS BE DEPENDED UPON TO WEAR ROSE COLORED GLASSES WHEN INTRODUCING SOMETHING NEW AND HERALDED BY THEIR OWN PEOPLE. The funny (Ha-hum)_ thing is that it is almost always doomed to incomprehensible FAILURE BLAMED ON THE POOR FLUNKY WHO HAD THE TEMERITY TO INTRODUCE IT PUBLIC ALLY AND WHO WILL PROVE TO BE THE MOST BLIND-SIDED INDIVIDUAL IN THE GOVERNMENT COMPANY.
No one listens to any nay-sayers because the job is to get the show on the road !!!!!!! And those who do not feel comfortable with this are told that a few glitches are to be expected with any new program and not to worry. It'll all come out all right in the end.
AND THIS BLOGGER DOESN'T EVEN HAVE TO BE THERE TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GOVERNMENT PROGRAM FOR SIGNING UP OF HEALTH CARE. AND GUESS WHAT ??????????? IT DIDN'T COME OUT OKAY, DID IT ???????
YOU HAVE TO ASK YOURSELF IF THE GOVERNMENT CAN'T GET THE START-UP TECHNOLOGY RIGHT--HOW IS IT GOING TO HELP TRULY SICK PEOPLE WITH THEIR HEALTH PROBLEMS AS IT'S PROMISED TO DO. THOSE GLITCHES, MY FRIEND, IF YOU'RE ILL COULD RESULT IN LIFE OR DEATH ISSUES !!!!!!!!!!!
THERE ARE SOME 3.7 MILLION COUNTABLE FOLKS IN OUR FAIR COUNTRY (THAT DOESN'T COUNT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS WHO WILL BE ANOTHER PORTION)--THAT'S A LOT OF BODIES TO MINSTER TO AND THE ONLY WAY IT CAN HAPPEN IS THROUGH ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY OR WE WON'T BE WAITING A FEW MONTHS FOR A DOCTOR. TRY A FEW YEARS OR A DECADE BY WHICH TIME WE PROBABLY WILL NO LONGER REQUIRE ONE !!!!!!!!!!!! AND THE ADMINISTRATION WANTS TO REDUCE RELIGIOUS INFLUENCE ????????????? THAT CREATES NOTHING BUT A DEEP, BLACK HOLE FOR CITIZENS !!!!!!!!!!!
CHINA HAS ALL BUT ABANDONED ITS HEALTH CARE PROGRAM EXCEPT IN LARGE CITIES. THEY EVEN QUESTIONED THE PRESIDENT WHEN HE WAS THERE AS TO WHY HE WAS INTENT ON PROMOTING SUCH AN UNSUCCESSFUL PROGRAM. HE OBVIOUSLY IGNORED THEIR SUBTLE ADVICE. EUROPEAN COUNTRIES LIKE ENGLAND, FRANCE ETC. HAVE DRAMATICALLY SMALLER POPULATIONS TO ADMINISTER.
ONE OF THINGS THAT NO ONE MENTIONS IS THAT PRIOR TO THIS BILL THE COST HAS RISEN FOR MEDICAL CARE IN THE U.S. BECAUSE OF TECHNOLOGY. TECHNICAL RESEARCH PRODUCES ALL THOSE BIG MRI MACHINES AMONG OTHERS AND HOSPITALS GROW BIGGER TO HOUSE THEM PHYSICALLY ADDING SIGNIFICANTLY TO HEALTH COST.THAT'S ONE BIG HONKY DONK ONLY.
AND IF MASTERING SIGN UP PROGRAM SOFTWARE PROVES THIS DIFFICULT BECAUSE THE NUMBERS ARE SO GREAT--LOOK DOWN THE ROAD TO CHAOS !!!!!!!!!!
HOW CAN OBAMA CARE HANDLE THE LOAD OF PATIENTS AND TREATMENT WITHOUT A HEAVY RELIANCE ON AN ALREADY PROVEN POOR TECHNOLOGICAL BASE ?????????
THOSE WHO OPPOSED OBAMA CARE WERE CALLED UNCARING AND BACKWARD LOOKING -- THIS BLOGGER THINKS WE JUST DISCOVERED WHO LOOKED INTO THE FUTURE AT THE KIND OF LACK OF GUARDIANSHIP BY OBAMA, SAW THE FRUSTRATIONS AHEAD. AND CARED ENOUGH TO FIGHT THE LOSING BATTLE FOR TIME TO ADJUST AND ADMINISTER A VERY DIFFICULT AND COSTLY PROGRAM. IT IS TOO BAD NO ONE LISTENS UNTIL TOO LATE.
WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN A HEADS UP TO THE FUTURE OF HEALTH CARE IN THIS COUNTRY AND THE DISASTER WAITING JUST OUTSIDE OUR DOORS. ANOTHER CHANCE TO PULL BACK AND PLAN OUR FUTURE IN A MORE AMERICAN WAY AND PUT ANCIENT COMMUNIST IDEAS ASIDE AS IDEALISTICALLY FOOLISH WHIMS THAT WILL MIRE THE COUNTRY IN DEBT AND MISGIVING WHILE NOT REALLY SOLVING THE PROBLEM OF GOOD HEALTH FOR ALL. JUST MORE NERVOUS EXHAUSTION ADDED TO YOUR CURRENT ILLNESS.
DO WE CONTINUE ON THE ROAD TO CHAOS OR CHOSE A SLOWER, MORE GENTLE PATH TO WELL BEING.

IT'S NOT THE MONEY! POST 178 (rerun 241)
Hi,
THE EXCUSE FOR NOT LAYING A PIPE SYSTEM THAT CONDUCTS WATER FROM CONSTANTLY FLOODING AREAS TO CONSTANT DROUGHT AREAS IS CITED AS COST--MONEY IN OTHER WORDS!!!!!!!!!! BUT THOUGHT THROUGH, IT'S NOT THE MONEY !!!!!!! SO WHAT CAN IT BE ???????????????
Did you hear these reports ??? Fires in Yosemite cost $100 million dollars in damages including costs to extinguish. That alone would lay a lot of pipe!!!!! Another article stated that approval had been given for pipes to be laid for oil. And yet another article STATED more pipes were being installed for gas. NO ONE OFFERS THE COST FOR THESE "IMPROVEMENTS" ????? ONLY THAT WE AS CITIZENS WILL BE BETTER OFF !!!!!!!!!!!!
IT'S NOT THE MONEY !!!!!!!!!!!!!
BUT NO PIPES FOR FLOOD WATER TO MOVE TO AREAS COMMONLY SUFFERING FROM DROUGHT THEN FIRE !!!!!!!!!!!! SHORTSIGHTEDNESS IS A COMMON CAUSE OF THE ELECTION OF TERRIBLE CANDIDATES. SHORTSIGHTEDNESS IS A COMMON OFFICIAL CAUSE OF ALL SORTS OF DISASTERS !!!!!!!!!! HAVING OFFICIAL HEADS UP A DARK, UNSAVORY AREA DOES NOT OFFER INSIGHTS INTO REAL NEED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT'S NOT THE MONEY !!!!!!!!!!!!
TOO BAD THAT ENDING THE COLLECTIVE COSTS OF DISASTER FROM FLOODING AND DROUGHT ARE NOT SEEN AS A PROFIT MOTIVE FOR CONDUCTION OF FLOOD WATERS TO DROUGHT AREAS !!!!!!!!! IT WOULD PROFIT THE COUNTRY MIGHTILY AS THE COST OF $100MILLION FOR ONE LARGE FIRE AT YOSEMITE CERTAINLY INDICATES. MANY OTHER FLOODS AND FIRES OCCUR EACH YEAR WHERE WATER HAS TO BE TAKEN BY HELICOPTERS AT A HUGE COST AND FIRE FIGHTING CREWS FLOWN IN AT ANOTHER COST OF TIME AND LIFE.
A CONSTANT DRAMA-- TOO MUCH RAIN OR SNOW IN ONE PLACE--TOO LITTLE IN ANOTHER. WE CONTINUALLY HEAR OF DROUGHT CAUSING FIRES. THE INFORMATION IS THERE FOR THOSE WHO COULD CHANGE THE COURSE OF HISTORY ???????????WHAT'S MISSING HERE ????????????
IT'S NOT THE MONEY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES, THERE ARE UPFRONT COSTS AS IN ANY LARGE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT. YES, THERE ARE LAND COSTS AND PROBLEMS AS IN ANY LARGE CONSTRUCTION. YES, THERE IS THE COST OF PRE-PLANNING CONSTRUCTION, LABOR EQUIPMENT, PIPES-- THE PROFIT RETURN IS IN THE FUTURE. IT WILL TAKE IMAGINATIVE THINKING AND RESTRUCTURING TO GET AT THE PROFIT REALITY. IT IS COMPARABLE TO THE VISION PRESIDENT EISENHOWER HAD WHEN HE PROVIDED AMERICA WITH THE START OF A TERRIFIC ROAD SYSTEM.
IT'S NOT THE MONEY ?????????????
SO, WHAT IS THIS BLOGGER MISSING
SAVING LAND, BUILDINGS, FORESTS WHILE STOPPING DROWNING, FLOODING AND DYING . IS THIS NOT A GOVERNMENT PROBLEM ????????????? ????????? EVEN THOUGH THE COSTS ARE HIGH, PROFIT WILL BE SEEN IN THE SAVING OF DISASTER COSTS AND ALSO IN LOWERING INSURANCE COSTS, REPLACEMENT COSTS ETC., ETC.,. ETC. !!!!!!!!!!! MAYBE THESE INSURERS SHOULD CONSIDER CHIPPING IN. THERE ARE SO MANY WAYS THE IDEA WILL OFFER A GOOD RETURN ON THE DOLLARS SPENT.
WHY IS IGNORANCE BLISS ???????????? SHOULDN'T WE BE SPENDING TAXPAYERS MONEY ON TAXPAYERS ???????????????? AT HOME !!!!!!!!!!!! INSTEAD OF PUTTING MONEY WHERE IT'S NOT APPRECIATED ???????????
LOCAL KNOWLEDGE: FLORIDA YEARLY DUMPS EXCESS WATER FROM LOW LYING LEVELS INTO THE ST. LUCIE ESTUARY AND CAUSES LOSS OF FISH AND FISHING,( A LOSS OF INCOME), CLEAN AND CLEAR WATER DISAPPEARS AND POLLUTION OCCURS!!!!!!!!!!!! CAN'T WE PIPE IT TO DRAUGHT AREAS ??????????????
WHAT IS THE COST YEARLY TO UTILITY COMPANIES IN AFFECTED AREAS OF FLOOD AND FIRE ?????????????? THAT MONEY COULD GO FOR PIPES !!!!!!!!! MAYBE THEY COULD SEE THE PROFIT MOTIVE IN REDUCING DAMAGE TO THEIR EQUIPMENT !!!!!!!!!!!!! MAYBE CHIP IN TO THE COST LIKE THE INSURERS ?? DISASTER COSTS ARE NOT NECESSARY IF PREVENTION IS PUT IN PLACE.
IT MUST BE THE MONEY BECAUSE THEY CAN'T SEE THE PROFIT FOR THE COSTS.
WHAT IS PUBLIC GOOD BY GOVERNMENT IF NOT PROVIDING THE MEANS OF PEACEFUL SURVIVAL. CERTAINLY FIRE AND FLOOD DO NOT PROVIDE PEACEFUL SURVIVAL. EVACUATIONS, EXTREME DAMAGE OR LOSS OF POSSESSIONS, FEAR AND INJURY, SCREAMING FIRE TRUCKS AND WATER BOMBING HELICOPTERS DO NOT LEND THEMSELVES TO PEACEFUL LIVING.
THE RESULTING CLEAN UP AND REPAIRS REQUIRING YEARS TO COMPLETE CERTAINLY DO NOT CREATE PEACEFUL SURVIVAL. DAMAGED NEW ORLEANS, HOMESTEAD, FLORIDA OR NEW JERSEYAND RESULTANT FIRE AND FLOODING ARE GOOD EXAMPLES. PUBLIC GOOD IS BETTER SERVED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IF IT PROVIDES A REAL FOUNDATION FOR PREVENTION NOT JUST OVERCOMING DISASTER.
MOVING HIGH WATER TO DROUGHT AREAS IS PREVENTING DISASTER, PREVENTING FLOODING, PREVENTING FIRES !!!!!!!!! THAT IS PREVENTATIVE NATURE MEDICINE. TREAT THE CAUSE FOR DISTRUCTION RATHER THAN TREATING THE AFTERMATH. IT IS OFTEN DIFFICULT TO SEE INTRINSIC VALUE IN THIS KIND OF ACTION. BUT IT'S THERE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT'S NOT THE MONEY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE HELL IT ISN'T !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS BLOGGER WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE REPORTER WHO WAS INTERESTED ENOUGH AFTER THIS WAS FIRST PUBLISHED TO TALK TO SOMEONE ABOUT THIS IDEA AND WAS TOLD IT WAS "TOO EXPENSIVE"!
MAYBE A MORE CREATIVE INDIVIDUAL WOULD SEE THE PROFIT AS MONEY THAT WOULD NO LONGER HAVE TO BE SPENT ON DISASTERS OF FLOOD AND FIRE.
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM HERE ????????????
IT'S NOT THE MONEY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BLINDNESS IS THE DISEASE AND THERE'S OFTEN NO CURE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SHORTSIGHTEDNESS IS A COMMON OFFICIAL CAUSE OF ALL SORTS OF DISASTERS !!!!!!!!!! HAVING OFFICIAL HEADS UP A DARK, UNSAVORY AREA DOES NOT OFFER INSIGHTS INTO REAL NEED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT'S NOT THE MONEY !!!!!!!!!!!!
TOO BAD THAT ENDING THE COLLECTIVE COSTS OF DISASTER FROM FLOODING AND DROUGHT ARE NOT SEEN AS A PROFIT MOTIVE FOR CONDUCTION OF FLOOD WATERS TO DROUGHT AREAS !!!!!!!!! IT WOULD PROFIT THE COUNTRY MIGHTILY AS THE COST OF $100MILLION FOR ONE LARGE FIRE AT YOSEMITE CERTAINLY INDICATES. MANY OTHER FLOODS AND FIRES OCCUR EACH YEAR WHERE WATER HAS TO BE TAKEN BY HELICOPTERS AT A HUGE COST AND FIRE FIGHTING CREWS FLOWN IN AT ANOTHER COST OF TIME AND LIFE.
A CONSTANT DRAMA-- TOO MUCH RAIN OR SNOW IN ONE PLACE--TOO LITTLE IN ANOTHER. WE CONTINUALLY HEAR OF DROUGHT CAUSING FIRES. THE INFORMATION IS THERE FOR THOSE WHO COULD CHANGE THE COURSE OF HISTORY ???????????WHAT'S MISSING HERE ????????????
IT'S NOT THE MONEY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES, THERE ARE UPFRONT COSTS AS IN ANY LARGE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT. YES, THERE ARE LAND COSTS AND PROBLEMS AS IN ANY LARGE CONSTRUCTION. YES, THERE IS THE COST OF PRE-PLANNING CONSTRUCTION, LABOR EQUIPMENT, PIPES-- THE PROFIT RETURN IS IN THE FUTURE. IT WILL TAKE IMAGINATIVE THINKING AND RESTRUCTURING TO GET AT THE PROFIT REALITY. IT IS COMPARABLE TO THE VISION PRESIDENT EISENHOWER HAD WHEN HE PROVIDED AMERICA WITH THE START OF A TERRIFIC ROAD SYSTEM.
IT'S NOT THE MONEY ?????????????
SO, WHAT IS THIS BLOGGER MISSING
SAVING LAND, BUILDINGS, FORESTS WHILE STOPPING DROWNING, FLOODING AND DYING . IS THIS NOT A GOVERNMENT PROBLEM ????????????? ????????? EVEN THOUGH THE COSTS ARE HIGH, PROFIT WILL BE SEEN IN THE SAVING OF DISASTER COSTS AND ALSO IN LOWERING INSURANCE COSTS, REPLACEMENT COSTS ETC., ETC.,. ETC. !!!!!!!!!!! MAYBE THESE INSURERS SHOULD CONSIDER CHIPPING IN. THERE ARE SO MANY WAYS THE IDEA WILL OFFER A GOOD RETURN ON THE DOLLARS SPENT.
WHY IS IGNORANCE BLISS ???????????? SHOULDN'T WE BE SPENDING TAXPAYERS MONEY ON TAXPAYERS ???????????????? AT HOME !!!!!!!!!!!! INSTEAD OF PUTTING MONEY WHERE IT'S NOT APPRECIATED ???????????
LOCAL KNOWLEDGE: FLORIDA YEARLY DUMPS EXCESS WATER FROM LOW LYING LEVELS INTO THE ST. LUCIE ESTUARY AND CAUSES LOSS OF FISH AND FISHING,( A LOSS OF INCOME), CLEAN AND CLEAR WATER DISAPPEARS AND POLLUTION OCCURS!!!!!!!!!!!! CAN'T WE PIPE IT TO DRAUGHT AREAS ??????????????
WHAT IS THE COST YEARLY TO UTILITY COMPANIES IN AFFECTED AREAS OF FLOOD AND FIRE ?????????????? THAT MONEY COULD GO FOR PIPES !!!!!!!!! MAYBE THEY COULD SEE THE PROFIT MOTIVE IN REDUCING DAMAGE TO THEIR EQUIPMENT !!!!!!!!!!!!! MAYBE CHIP IN TO THE COST LIKE THE INSURERS ?? DISASTER COSTS ARE NOT NECESSARY IF PREVENTION IS PUT IN PLACE.
IT MUST BE THE MONEY BECAUSE THEY CAN'T SEE THE PROFIT FOR THE COSTS.
WHAT IS PUBLIC GOOD BY GOVERNMENT IF NOT PROVIDING THE MEANS OF PEACEFUL SURVIVAL. CERTAINLY FIRE AND FLOOD DO NOT PROVIDE PEACEFUL SURVIVAL. EVACUATIONS, EXTREME DAMAGE OR LOSS OF POSSESSIONS, FEAR AND INJURY, SCREAMING FIRE TRUCKS AND WATER BOMBING HELICOPTERS DO NOT LEND THEMSELVES TO PEACEFUL LIVING.
THE RESULTING CLEAN UP AND REPAIRS REQUIRING YEARS TO COMPLETE CERTAINLY DO NOT CREATE PEACEFUL SURVIVAL. DAMAGED NEW ORLEANS, HOMESTEAD, FLORIDA OR NEW JERSEYAND RESULTANT FIRE AND FLOODING ARE GOOD EXAMPLES. PUBLIC GOOD IS BETTER SERVED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IF IT PROVIDES A REAL FOUNDATION FOR PREVENTION NOT JUST OVERCOMING DISASTER.
MOVING HIGH WATER TO DROUGHT AREAS IS PREVENTING DISASTER, PREVENTING FLOODING, PREVENTING FIRES !!!!!!!!! THAT IS PREVENTATIVE NATURE MEDICINE. TREAT THE CAUSE FOR DISTRUCTION RATHER THAN TREATING THE AFTERMATH. IT IS OFTEN DIFFICULT TO SEE INTRINSIC VALUE IN THIS KIND OF ACTION. BUT IT'S THERE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT'S NOT THE MONEY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE HELL IT ISN'T !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS BLOGGER WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE REPORTER WHO WAS INTERESTED ENOUGH AFTER THIS WAS FIRST PUBLISHED TO TALK TO SOMEONE ABOUT THIS IDEA AND WAS TOLD IT WAS "TOO EXPENSIVE"!
MAYBE A MORE CREATIVE INDIVIDUAL WOULD SEE THE PROFIT AS MONEY THAT WOULD NO LONGER HAVE TO BE SPENT ON DISASTERS OF FLOOD AND FIRE.
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM HERE ????????????
IT'S NOT THE MONEY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BLINDNESS IS THE DISEASE AND THERE'S OFTEN NO CURE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

REFORM OR PERISH? POST 177
Hi,
This blogger finds that there are as many readers in foreign countries following the blog as Americans. Is it because we are all experiencing degrees of the same problems and need answers that don't seem to be forthcoming?
When this blogger worked for newspapers and magazines, it was always a joy to reach people across town, then across the country, and sometimes if luck was with you in another land.
But technology has changed that. Not only can a blog reach across the world but a blogger can write free and independently without instructions from someone higher up in a hierarchy. It is a true freedom of opportunity made possible by the internet and those who believe in it. It is one of the great benefits of our new technology that the answers to problems that are universal can be shared and discussed and answers sought.
We should pay tribute to those elements in technology that can create a world-wide forum and make contributions of knowledge, ideas, and answers to universal problems. This blogger believes that Government is a entity that constantly creates questions involved in all elements of ethics, morals, and human welfare. Our lives are deeply affected by people we have never met and who have no knowledge of our individual problems or history. Polls came about to add some semblance of the reality of what people think, how they live, and what they feel but although it is certainly better than nothing, it's not much better. And like everything beneficial, it is open to corruption.
Technology can be misused to the extent that information can be twisted, or used as propaganda or for personal gain either monetarily or aggrandizement. Just like in Government, good can become evil and twisted. This, of course, means that in spite of how busy we are or the problems personally surrounding us, we can never close a watchful eye on our politicians. Unfortunately, this is not the case and those who most affect our well being are aware that this is so. We elect them to take the responsibility for us but we forget that there have to be constant checks and balances so that responsibility doesn't become a license for complete dictatorship or thievery or both. OR SIMPLY A LICENSE TO KILL THE OPPOSITION WITH WHATEVER MEANS AVAILABLE. IT BECOMES A CHALLENGE TO REFORM GOVERNMENT OR PERISH.
Power is a heady business and absolute power is the stuff that mass murder thrives on. Hitler is always a good example here. He did everything in Germany, legally, but managed to control, create an absolute rule, and beside making war on others, kill masses of his own people for whatever reason he deemed necessary. Minorities and the poor always suffer the most under these circumstances when ethics and morals disappear and are replaced by one person dictates.
Politicians and Government represent a power that only a very few wealthy or acclaimed individuals can match and once it gets out of hand, more blood flows to attempt to stem the tide of single minded onslaught.
Religion was once as strong and powerful as Government and created a semblance of balance between the two but man has outsmarted himself by showing how smart he is not to believe in anything so mystical. Folks are outsmarted because the very protection against the ugliness in mankind and Government was the very mystery of a higher power to judge one's actions. WITHOUT THAT THREAT THE "KIND" IN MANKIND OFTEN DISAPPEARS COMPLETELY !!!!!!!!!!!
Unfortunately, the only replacement is ETERNAL VIGILENCE OVER GOVERNMENT. THOSE FOLKS WHO HAVE THE RESPONSIBLITY FOR YOUR COUNTRY AND WELL BEING. AS COMMUNISM COMSUMES THE WORLD THERE IS MORE AND MORE RESPONSIBILITY BEING TAKEN AWAY FROM YOU FOR YOUR WELFARE!!!!!!!!!!COMMUNISTS NO LONGER CONSIDER THAT THEY HAVE TO ANSWER TO A HIGHER ORDER. THEY CONSIDER THEMSELVES THE HIGHER ORDER AND THAT IS THE DANGER THAT MUST BE KEPT IN CHECK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS IS A RAPIDLY !!!!!!!!!!! CHANGING WORLD THAT IS MOVING INTO TECHNOLOGY. A TECHNOLOGY THAT IS FAR BEYOND ANYTHING WE HAVE YET EXPERIENCED !!!!!!!!!!!!WITHOUT SOME ETHICAL AND MORAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE MEANING OF THESE CHANGES, THE COUNTRIES OF OUR WORLD MAY FIND CHAOS WHERE SIMPLE PEACE WAS ONCE THE NORM !!!!!!!!!!
The world is always in flux and experiencing ups and downs but this change is more critical because of the interconnectivity that is being felt.
It is no LONGER one hidden country BUT THE VIEW is of a larger territory. Citizens of each country do not necessarily feel the effects. BUT EACH COUNTRY IN ORDER TO THRIVE MUST FEEL THE RESPONSIBITY FOR THEIR GOVERNMENT BEFORE IT GETS OUT OF HAND TO AVOID CONFLICTING WITH OTHER GOVERNMENTS AROUND THE WORLD. THAT DOESN'T MEAN GIVING UP AUTONOMY BUT RATHER EMBRACING THE IDEA OF WHAT RELIGION CALLED BROTHERHOOD.
IF CITIZENS BECOME AWARE THAT TRUSTING ALONE IS NOT ENOUGH TO CONTROL THE INEVITABLE POWER RAISED BY GOVERNMENTS. WITH THE ADDITION OF CITIZENS' CHECKS AND BALANCES WE HAVE A REAL SHOT AT REFORM !!!!!!!!!! A REFORM BASED ON ETHICS, MORALS, AND FINANCIAL REASON TO CURE THE ILLS THAT AIL US IN A TECHNOLOGICAL WORLD, PERHAPS ONE EVEN CONDUCTED BY ROBOTICS.
THIS BLOGGER HOPES THAT THIS BLOG WILL BE A STEP TOWARD THE UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT IS MISSING AND WHAT IS NEEDED FOR A MORE SECURE AND PEACEFUL LIFE.

FIXING BLAME--WHY? POST 176
Hi,
Does it really matter ???????? Fixing blame in this country has become a national pastime !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND IT SERVES TO AVOID FIXING THE ISSUE !!!!!!!!!!!
The country's shutdown on budget was a protest not just against Obama care but against BIG GOVERNMENT AND ITS DICTATES and big government does what it always does, ignores the problem.
So, what does that tell this blogger about WHO'S TO BLAME ??????? NOTHING !!!!!!!!!! WHAT IT DOES REVEAL IS THAT BIG GOVERNMENT IS AN UNWIELDY, UNYIELDING AND MONSTER ENTITY THAT WE HAVE CREATED.
THAT MEANS ESSENTIALLY EVEN THOUGH WE ARE BUSY PASSING THE BUCK:
WE ARE ALL TO BLAME !!!!!!!!
WE ALLOWED THIS MONSTROSITY TO BE BUILT day by day, month by month, year by year, in good times and bad and by both Republicans and Democrats !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO WHAT NOW ??????????
THERE ARE ALWAYS CHOICES. We can LEARN TO LIVE WITH IT AND MUMBLE A LOT !!!!!!!! OR WE CAN FORM NATIONAL FORCES IN AND OUT OF WASHINGTON TO REDUCE THE SIZE OF IT. The first choice is the easier one and is probably the realistic choice for most people. Eventually anything THAT GETS TOO BIG WILL COLLAPSE UNDER ITS OWN WEIGHT AND CORRUPTION !!!!!!!!!!!! UNLESS IT'S TOO PROFITABLE !!!!!!!!!!!
THE SECOND CHOICE: REDUCING THE GOVERNMENT BY COMMITTEE IS FRAUGHT WITH NIGHTMARE PREDICTIONS. UNLESS YOU HAVE CHOSEN EXCEEDINGLY WELL, IT COULD ACTUALLY LEAD TO MORE GOVERNMENT !!!!!!!!!!! This blogger doesn't want to discourage the GOOD SOULS out there but unless WE FIND someone with the determination of an Elliot Ness (the old TV investigator), the will of a Ronald Reagan, the silky persuasion of a Bill Clinton and the dogged determination of a Barack Obama ALL ROLLED INTO ONE there's not much chance it will succeed.
THE ECONOMIC PICTURE OF THE FUTURE, HOWEVER, MAY OFFER A BETTER COURSE. A credit card for ANYONE WHO really doesn't understand is a scrap of plastic BACKED BY REAL MONEY OR GOODS. When that plastic loses its backing IT'S A USELESS SCRAP OF PLASTIC CHEMICALS UPON WHICH THE RECIPIENTS SPIT !!!!!!!!!!!! SPIT IS RARELY NEGOTIABLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT DOES BIG GOVERNMENT DO BEST ????????? WHY SPEND MONEY OF COURSE. IT USES THE PLASTIC CARD WITHOUT ANY UNDERSTANDING OR WORRY ABOUT ITS REAL VALUE !!!!!!!!
It is a FATAL DISEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!! POVERTY.
GOVERNMENTS DIE FROM THE FATAL DISEASE AND THE RESULTING WRECKAGE IS THEN PUT BACK TOGETHER BY
GUESS WHO ???????? Folks, who can ADD AND SUBTRACT AND RECOGNIZE THE VALUE OF THRIFT !!!!!!!!!!!!!
SO, YOU CAN PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE BY SELECTING CANDIDATES FOR OFFICE WHO CAN ADD AND SUBTRACT AND RECOGNIZE VALUE !!!!!!!!!!! THEREBY INJECTING SOME MEDICINE INTO A SICK GOVERNMENT AND POSSIBLY SAVING IT FROM A VIOLENT ILLNESS.
It is possible if candidates are selected on the basis of ethics, morals, dedication, and financial understanding to REDEEM OUR NATIONAL FINANCES AND BELIEFS. WE MUST ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT IF THE PRESIDENT IS GOING TO BE A BUMP IN THE FINANCIAL ROAD THEN ELECT HIM ON THE BASIS OF MATHMATICAL UNDERSTANDING AND NOT AS A PRETTY FACE AS IN THE PAST !!!!!!!! Accept that financial understanding is ADDING AND SUB-TRACTING NOT........THIS BLOGGER REPEATS.....NOT THE FANCY, DANCY FINANCIAL SOLUTIONS OF DESTITUTION TAUGHT BY EVERY SOURCE TODAY TO ENCOURAGE PROFIT OVER SENSIBILITY.
ADD AND SUBTRACT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE HAVE $2. WE SPEND $1 DOLLAR AND THAT LEAVES $1. NO MORE !!!!!!!!!! NO LESS !!!!!!!!!! CAN GOVERNMENTS OPERATE THIS WAY ?????????? No matter what the pundits tell you
OF COURSE THEY CAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! REDUCED TO THE SIMPLE FACTS OF ECONOMICS, IT'S STILL 1+ 1 = 2 AND MAKE NO MISTAKE THIS IS WHAT IS MISSING AND THAT'S:
WHAT'S TO BLAME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, if fixing blame is necessary, THERE'S THE ANSWER !!!!!!!!!!!!! FOLLOW THE MONEY TRAIL. THE SOLUTION --SIMPLE MATH-- ADDING AND SUBTRACING TO KEEP A GOVERNMENT TRIM AND AFLOAT AND THE GOVERNMENTAL PARTICIPANTS ARE ONLY AS GOOD AS THEIR MATHEMATICAL SIMPLICITY !!!!!!!!

DIVORCE BIG GOVERNMENT! POST 175
Hi,
This blogger wishes that our Government would do what Government can do best: make sure the country can run without too much conflict and can pay its bills. That's the goal being overlooked. It's in trouble when it branches out into TOTAL HEALTH CARE in America !!!!!!!!!!
The news on the government's shut down has pushed the recent group of newscasters to a frenzy on non-essential elements and they have mentioned all the heart wrenching things they could muster !!!!!!!!! Including the return of military bodies without being able to fund families to meet them. And guess what the 'powers that be' did ??????????? THEY CONTACTED A CHARITY TO FUND THE FAMILIES BUT PROMISED TO REPAY IT !!!!!!!!!!???????????
OKAY, WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT IDEA ??????? IF IT'S A CHARITY--WHY DO WE NEED TO REPAY IT ??????
IT SHOULD BE GIVING THE MONEY AS A CHARITY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!NOT GETTING REPAID FOR IT !!!!!!!!! MAYBE THE GOVERNMENT MEANT IT WAS MAKING A DONATION TO THE CHARITY ??????????? NOW THAT WOULD AT LEAST MAKE SENSE IF NOT GOOD ECONOMIC SENSE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
However, this blogger has heard no mention of how much money the government is saving by not funding many of the unnecessary endeavors in which it is involved.
SPEAKING OF CHARITIES AND this blogger HOPES THE GOVERNMENT RUES THE DAY IT BROUGHT THE SUBJECT UP--since it might become an ALTERNATIVE AGAIN TO BIG GOVERNMENT and bite it on its heavy spending !!!!!!!!!!!!
GUESS WHAT WE USED TO DO BEFORE OUR ERSTWHILE GOVERNMENT DECIDED WE WERE HELPLESS SLOBS WITH NO FEELINGS OF HUMANITY OR JUSTICE ????????????? WE USED OUR OWN CHARITY TO TAKE CARE OF OUR PROBLEMS !!!!!!!!!!!! DUH...DUH......AND DUH !!!!!!!!!!!!
AMERICA, THE GENEROUS, USED TO EXTEND THAT GENEROSITY AT HOME TO ITS CITIZENS THROUGH *****PRIVATE********* I SAID THAT CORRECTLY **********PRIVATE CHARITIES AND WE DID A GOOD JOB OF TAKING CARE OF OUR OWN INDIVIDUALLY AS WELL THROUGH EXTENDED FAMILIES AND FRIENDS !!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WASN'T A PERFECT SYSTEM BUT NEITHER IS GOVERNMENT CONTROL. PRIVATE CHARITY LEFT MORE MONEY FOR MORE CHARITY THAN GOVERNMENT DOES BECAUSE IT TOOK NO TAXES TO DO IT.
NOW, WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THAT ???? WHEN DID WE BECOME THE DEPENDENT SLAVES OF A GOVERNMENT SYSTEM THAT DOES ALL THE SUSPOSED GOOD DEEDS WE HEAR ABOUT CONSTANTLY ???????????
AYE THERE'S THE KEY -- HEAR ABOUT--THERE'S STILL PLENTY OF CHARITY GIVEN BY PRIVATE AMERICANS BUT WE DON'T GET TO HEAR MUCH ABOUT IT BECAUSE OF PRESS BIAS.
HARKING BACK TO HEALTH IN THE 1930's DEPRESSION, OUR DOCTORS AND NURSES EXTENDED HELP TO FOLKS WITH PROBLEMS IN MANY WAYS. CLINICS WERE RUN IN BIG CITIES LIKE NEW YORK ALONG WITH CHURCH AND STATE HELP ETC. VISITING DOCTORS TREATED THE WORST CASES FREE--*FREE*--NOT A MISTAKE. WE TOOK CARE OF OUR OWN WITHOUT FEDERAL INTERFERENCE. MANY DOCTORS TREATED CITIZENS IN COMMUNITIES EITHER FREE, BY DONATION, OR ON EXTENDED CREDIT THAT THEY DIDN'T EXPECT TO COLLECT UNDER DEPRESSION CONDITIONS. MUCH OF IT WAS PAID BECAUSE FOLKS UNDERSTOOD THE DOCTOR HAD BILLS TOO !!!!!!!!!!! AND THAT THEY CARED !!!!!!!!!!!!
Frankly this blogger doesn't believe we are making America a better land with all the control placed in Government to distribute as they see fit. It offers too many moral and ethical issues to a group too large to really control them. It takes away from the people who are being controlled those desires, privileges and human interactions that create compassionate, caring citizens who reach out to others. It fosters more crime --RIGHT-- in those who are most needy because there isn't the incentive to repay. Simply the lust to ACQUIRE LIFE'S GOODIES because they now feel they DESERVE to have it all rather than having to EARN MORE to get more.
IT BECOMES A WAY OF LIFE TO BE ON THE TAKE RATHER THAN PRODUCTIVE AND GIVING. PREVIOUS GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS PROVED THAT REACTION. WELFARE PROGRAMS IN THE PAST PRODUCED GENERATIONS OF WELFARE FAMILIES WHO WERE CONDEMNED TO NEVER ESCAPE.
In general group endeavors can benefit in many ways BUT ONLY if they are private endeavors with real profit and loss and a BOTTOM LINE.
GOVERNMENT NEVER HAS A BOTTOM UNTIL................
.............................THE BOTTOM FALLS OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sometimes, it falls out for the country but mostly it fails the individual in a myriad of ways. The complications, confusions, time loss, and extra time necessary for any Government controlled venture is DEHUMANIZING. IF WE ARE HONEST WITH OURSELVES, IT IS INSULTING TO OUR DIGNITY AS CITIZENS. WE ARE TREATED MORE LIKE CRIMINALS INTENT ON STEALING RATHER THAN RECEIVING WHATEVER BENEFIT OFFERED.
AND OF COURSE, ONCE ACQUIRING THE NAME!!!!! CRIMINAL !!!!!!! SOME FEEL THEY MIGHT AS WELL HAVE THE GAME!!!!!! WHICH IS WHY SO MUCH DISHONESTY DEVELOPS UNDER GOVERNMENT CONTROL. DISHONESTY THEN BREEDS A WHOLE NEW SET OF DEHUMANIZING RULES AND EDICTS. A NEVER ENDING CYCLE !!!!!!!!!!
LET'S DIVORCE BIG GOVERNMENT AND FIND ANOTHER PATH TO OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS AND FREEDOM !!!!!!!!!!!!!
CHARITY SHOULD BE FREELY GIVEN BY EARNEST AND CARING CITIZENS WHO VALUE THE MILK OF HUMAN KINDNESS AND ABOVE ALL FIND FREEDOM TO PARTICIPATE A BLESSING.
GOVERNMENT SHOULD DO WHAT GOVERNMENT DOES BEST.
MAKE SURE THE COUNTRY CAN RUN WITHOUT TOO MUCH CONFLICT AND CAN PAY ITS BILLS ON TIME.
SO FAR, OBAMA'S GOVERNMENT HAS FAILED ON BOTH COUNTS !!!!!!!!!!!!! SO, CONTINUE TO SAVE MONEY, MR. PRESIDENT, AMERICA IS GOING TO NEED IT !!!!!!!!!!
