Frustrated On The Ditch

Sat, 10 Oct 2009 21:17:46 GMT

I walk my dog regularly along one of the local ditches. It's a nature area and quite nice, but I'm really feeling frustrated. My dog is a happy, well socialized dog who is also blind as a result of diabetes. She's a happy greeter type of dog, so it boggles my mind when people bring their unsocialized, unfriendly dogs to walk and who then get upset when my dog wants to greet and sniff tails with their dogs. If their dog is unfriendly, then 1.) why bring it out in public where it is very likely to encounter other dogs? and 2.) when they see other people coming with a dog on a leash, then why dont THEY take one of the access roads or bridges and move their dogs to the other side of the ditch? I3.) Lastly, why do they act like it's MY fault that they've had to warn and announce "My dog isn't friendly with other dogs!"

The Giants beat the Cowboys in the Cowboy's fancy new stadium. :D

Giants 33, Cowboys 31.

As I'm an ABC fan anyway (Anyone But Cowboys), it was neat the Giants won and handed the cowboys their hats on their own home turf. Eli Manning did well as did Mario Manningham. Manningham helped make the game tonight. Sweet victory!

A Scary Back To School Speech. Not!

Mon, 07 Sep 2009 18:52:47 GMT

This is the speech that reactionaries on the Republican right were so afraid of??? Ya gotta be kidding me! The horror! Asking kids to take a little responsibility for themselves! ROTFLMAO!

" Arlington, Virginia
September 8, 2009

The President: Hello everyone - how's everybody doing today? I'm here with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia. And we've got students tuning in from all across America, kindergarten through twelfth grade. I'm glad you all could join us today.

I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school. And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it's your first day in a new school, so it's understandable if you're a little nervous. I imagine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good right now, with just one more year to go. And no matter what grade you're in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer, and you could've stayed in bed just a little longer this morning. I know that feeling. When I was young, my family lived in Indonesia for a few years, and my mother didn't have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school. So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday - at 4:30 in the morning.

Now I wasn't too happy about getting up that early. A lot of times, I'd fall asleep right there at the kitchen table. But whenever I'd complain, my mother would just give me one of those looks and say, "This is no picnic for me either, buster."
So I know some of you are still adjusting to being back at school. But I'm here today because I have something important to discuss with you. I'm here because I want to talk with you about your education and what's expected of all of you in this new school year.

Now I've given a lot of speeches about education. And I've talked a lot about responsibility.

I've talked about your teachers' responsibility for inspiring you, and pushing you to learn.

I've talked about your parents' responsibility for making sure you stay on track, and get your homework done, and don't spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with that Xbox.

I've talked a lot about your government's responsibility for setting high standards, supporting teachers and principals, and turning around schools that aren't working where students aren't getting the opportunities they deserve.
But at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, and the best schools in the world - and none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities. Unless you show up to those schools; pay attention to those teachers; listen to your parents, grandparents and other adults; and put in the hard work it takes to succeed.

And that's what I want to focus on today: the responsibility each of you has for your education. I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself.
Every single one of you has something you're good at. Every single one of you has something to offer. And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is. That's the opportunity an education can provide.

Maybe you could be a good writer - maybe even good enough to write a book or articles in a newspaper - but you might not know it until you write a paper for your English class. Maybe you could be an innovator or an inventor - maybe even good enough to come up with the next iPhone or a new medicine or vaccine - but you might not know it until you do a project for your science class. Maybe you could be a mayor or a Senator or a Supreme Court Justice, but you might not know that until you join student government or the debate team.

And no matter what you want to do with your life - I guarantee that you'll need an education to do it. You want to be a doctor, or a teacher, or a police officer? You want to be a nurse or an architect, a lawyer or a member of our military? You're going to need a good education for every single one of those careers. You can't drop out of school and just drop into a good job. You've got to work for it and train for it and learn for it.

And this isn't just important for your own life and your own future. What you make of your education will decide nothing less than the future of this country. What you're learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges in the future.

You'll need the knowledge and problem-solving skills you learn in science and math to cure diseases like cancer and AIDS, and to develop new energy technologies and protect our environment. You'll need the insights and critical thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fight poverty and homelessness, crime and discrimination, and make our nation more fair and more free. You'll need the creativity and ingenuity you develop in all your classes to build new companies that will create new jobs and boost our economy.

We need every single one of you to develop your talents, skills and intellect so you can help solve our most difficult problems. If you don't do that - if you quit on school - you're not just quitting on yourself, you're quitting on your country.
Now I know it's not always easy to do well in school. I know a lot of you have challenges in your lives right now that can make it hard to focus on your schoolwork.

I get it. I know what that's like. My father left my family when I was two years old, and I was raised by a single mother who struggled at times to pay the bills and wasn't always able to give us things the other kids had. There were times when I missed having a father in my life. There were times when I was lonely and felt like I didn't fit in.

So I wasn't always as focused as I should have been. I did some things I'm not proud of, and got in more trouble than I should have. And my life could have easily taken a turn for the worse.

But I was fortunate. I got a lot of second chances and had the opportunity to go to college, and law school, and follow my dreams. My wife, our First Lady Michelle Obama, has a similar story. Neither of her parents had gone to college, and they didn't have much. But they worked hard, and she worked hard, so that she could go to the best schools in this country.

Some of you might not have those advantages. Maybe you don't have adults in your life who give you the support that you need. Maybe someone in your family has lost their job, and there's not enough money to go around. Maybe you live in a neighborhood where you don't feel safe, or have friends who are pressuring you to do things you know aren't right.

But at the end of the day, the circumstances of your life - what you look like, where you come from, how much money you have, what you've got going on at home - that's no excuse for neglecting your homework or having a bad attitude. That's no excuse for talking back to your teacher, or cutting class, or dropping out of school. That's no excuse for not trying.

Where you are right now doesn't have to determine where you'll end up. No one's written your destiny for you. Here in America, you write your own destiny. You make your own future.

That's what young people like you are doing every day, all across America.
Young people like Jazmin Perez, from Roma, Texas. Jazmin didn't speak English when she first started school. Hardly anyone in her hometown went to college, and neither of her parents had gone either. But she worked hard, earned good grades, got a scholarship to Brown University, and is now in graduate school, studying public health, on her way to being Dr. Jazmin Perez.

I'm thinking about Andoni Schultz, from Los Altos, California, who's fought brain cancer since he was three. He's endured all sorts of treatments and surgeries, one of which affected his memory, so it took him much longer - hundreds of extra hours - to do his schoolwork. But he never fell behind, and he's headed to college this fall.

And then there's Shantell Steve, from my hometown of Chicago, Illinois. Even when bouncing from foster home to foster home in the toughest neighborhoods, she managed to get a job at a local health center; start a program to keep young people out of gangs; and she's on track to graduate high school with honors and go on to college.
Jazmin, Andoni and Shantell aren't any different from any of you. They faced challenges in their lives just like you do. But they refused to give up. They chose to take responsibility for their education and set goals for themselves. And I expect all of you to do the same.

That's why today, I'm calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education - and to do everything you can to meet them. Your goal can be something as simple as doing all your homework, paying attention in class, or spending time each day reading a book. Maybe you'll decide to get involved in an extracurricular activity, or volunteer in your community. Maybe you'll decide to stand up for kids who are being teased or bullied because of who they are or how they look, because you believe, like I do, that all kids deserve a safe environment to study and learn. Maybe you'll decide to take better care of yourself so you can be more ready to learn. And along those lines, I hope you'll all wash your hands a lot, and stay home from school when you don't feel well, so we can keep people from getting the flu this fall and winter.

Whatever you resolve to do, I want you to commit to it. I want you to really work at it.

I know that sometimes, you get the sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work -- that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star, when chances are, you're not going to be any of those things.

But the truth is, being successful is hard. You won't love every subject you study. You won't click with every teacher. Not every homework assignment will seem completely relevant to your life right this minute. And you won't necessarily succeed at everything the first time you try.

That's OK. Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who've had the most failures. JK Rowling's first Harry Potter book was rejected twelve times before it was finally published. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team, and he lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career. But he once said, "I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."

These people succeeded because they understand that you can't let your failures define you - you have to let them teach you. You have to let them show you what to do differently next time. If you get in trouble, that doesn't mean you're a troublemaker, it means you need to try harder to behave. If you get a bad grade, that doesn't mean you're stupid, it just means you need to spend more time studying.
No one's born being good at things, you become good at things through hard work. You're not a varsity athlete the first time you play a new sport. You don't hit every note the first time you sing a song. You've got to practice. It's the same with your schoolwork. You might have to do a math problem a few times before you get it right, or read something a few times before you understand it, or do a few drafts of a paper before it's good enough to hand in.

Don't be afraid to ask questions. Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it. I do that every day. Asking for help isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strength. It shows you have the courage to admit when you don't know something, and to learn something new. So find an adult you trust - a parent, grandparent or teacher; a coach or counselor - and ask them to help you stay on track to meet your goals.

And even when you're struggling, even when you're discouraged, and you feel like other people have given up on you - don't ever give up on yourself. Because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.

The story of America isn't about people who quit when things got tough. It's about people who kept going, who tried harder, who loved their country too much to do anything less than their best.

It's the story of students who sat where you sit 250 years ago, and went on to wage a revolution and found this nation. Students who sat where you sit 75 years ago who overcame a Depression and won a world war; who fought for civil rights and put a man on the moon. Students who sat where you sit 20 years ago who founded Google, Twitter and Facebook and changed the way we communicate with each other.

So today, I want to ask you, what's your contribution going to be? What problems are you going to solve? What discoveries will you make? What will a president who comes here in twenty or fifty or one hundred years say about what all of you did for this country?

Your families, your teachers, and I are doing everything we can to make sure you have the education you need to answer these questions. I'm working hard to fix up your classrooms and get you the books, equipment and computers you need to learn. But you've got to do your part too. So I expect you to get serious this year. I expect you to put your best effort into everything you do. I expect great things from each of you. So don't let us down - don't let your family or your country or yourself down. Make us all proud. I know you can do it.

Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America"

There's some choice words for the nay-saying pundits who fanned the flames of discord about this speech without having read the text first: cowardly, untruthful, venal, corrupt fools.

My Nephew's Las Cruces Wedding

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 14:27:48 GMT

My sister Margo and I went down to Las Cruces for our nephew Dustin's wedding. It was a sweet formal, small-town family wedding at Trinity Lutheran Church with the reception held in the church's activities hall. I got teary-eyed at the wedding, proud for my nephew who's worked so hard to get his young life in order & on track. Parts of the reception tugged sentimentally, but the best part of the reception, one that made me grin was when the 3 & 4 year old kids got out on the dance floor!

So I Sent A Letter ...

Thu, 27 Aug 2009 21:11:06 GMT

So I sent a letter today out to the people in my mailing list... bcc'ed the thing to make sure people didn't get their addresses spread around and harvested by bots.

The content was:

"Ok, I'm at it again in support of Health Care Reform. I thought this article from Guernica was worth reading and passing along. In it, a former Cigna executive discusses his change of heart toward the current health insurance industry and why. I copy and pasted before sending this off to keep your address off external mailing lists.

Health care reform is necessary for all of us. Ensuring that it takes place is, in my opinion, a moral matter -- that we take care of each other and the least of us. When hospitals dump sick, poor people on the streets because they don't have insurance as has happened in cities around the country, it is an obscenity. Our history lessons used to teach that a country is judged by how well it takes care of it's poor and infirm. We're not doing so good in that department.

I was born in an era when America's infant mortality rate was among the lowest in the world. In my lifetime, our infant mortality rate has become as bad as many third world countries. According to the CDC ( http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/databriefs/db09.htm

) we rank 29th. We used to rank 12th. That kind of drop is an obscenity!

After 30 years of watching the quality of life decline as people have become increasingly unable to afford decent health care, I have become willing to do whatever it takes to help health care reform -- including paying higher taxes and taking my anger to the streets.

Just more of my .02

Hugs to you all!

Sicko

Thu, 27 Aug 2009 15:16:14 GMT

After seeing Michael Moore's "Sicko" last night, I felt sick and betrayed by our government and insurance industry all over again and any moral person would feel the same. I found myself wishing I had enough money to send a copy of "Sicko" to every American household for people to watch. So, in lieu of that and after a little googling:

If you get TMC (The Movie Channel) I just found out "Sicko" is airing soon with repeat airings

"You Do Not Have Health Insurance"

Fri, 14 Aug 2009 06:47:04 GMT

Another Truthout article on the Health Care debate, well worth reading, including reader comments. We American's have got to be listening with open hearts and compassion. I firmly believe we need this reform and that it is time for the insurance companies to do the moral thing, not the profitable thing. I do not dare get sick at this time. I don't have a penny to cover medical expenses. I work 20 hours a week and earn 8.00/hr unless the TBI clients (on Medicare) who I provide homemaking service for get their program benefits cut back which then means my work time gets cut back as well.

Help Debunk Health Care Reform Lies

Wed, 12 Aug 2009 21:55:42 GMT

Ran across this video today regarding health care reform.

Just a few points: Medicare IS government run & funded. So enough with the bullsh** whining about government run medicine. It's already a reality.

If you have heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer and other diseases, your insurance provider can kick you out for any reason they want. That's called "rationing". Gee.

The Letter I Sent 35 Friends, 2 Senators & A Congressman Re: Truthout Article On Fascism In America

Sun, 09 Aug 2009 20:59:11 GMT

This is the letter I sent today to 35 friends, family and acquaintances as well as Senators Tom Udall and Jeff Bingaman and Representative Martin Heinrich from New Mexico:

"I read this today in Truthout and felt it was so important that I've sent a copy to everyone in my address book. I normally don't make a big deal about loving my country, but fact is that I do. So when I see the kinds of explosive hate mongering that has accompanied Obama's health care reform and other platforms that has occurred recently, I worry about us & the US. The article, "Is The US On The Brink Of Fascism" (http://www.truthout.org/080909A

) explores the conditions for the emergence of fascism in America and I think it is a warning we need to be very attentive to.

We ALL know people who are vulnerable to repression. By and large most of you (but not all) whom I've mailed about this are, to varying degree, vulnerable to repression whether by our choices of religion, the facts of our ethnicity and/or race, sexual identity, economic status, or any combination thereof. I'm sure all of us are aware of the lessons of history and what happened when fascism reared its head in Germany and Italy starting back in the late 1920s and continuing through into the mid 1940s. We don't live with our heads in the sand on stuff like that, but we can't afford the luxury of thinking things like that can't happen here. They are happening here. They have been happening more and more since our President was elected and the pace keeps accelerating.

They happen when people like Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh and their ilk urge people with different points of view to mob up and flood town hall meetings with directives to create confusion, to put the guest speakers (our elected representatives) off balance and off topic, and to otherwise stifle the discussions that are trying to take place. It used to be called Dirty Tricks and I'm sure we've seen it played out on campuses by both the far left as well as the far right. Get a group of hecklers together and let them shout down who ever is talking. The effect is obvious: it is censorship. But when people encourage others to mob up, they are forgetting how simply and easily a mob's mood can shift and become violent and destructive. We cannot approve of this simply by being silent or shake our heads at home in quiet dismay. We have to be able to talk together and talk through political disagreements without being intimidated into silence.

So I'm asking you to read this article through and to discuss it with your friends and families. I ask you to keep your hearts and eyes open. I ask you to continue choosing freedom over repression.

Your friend, your neighbor, your sister, your fellow American citizen,
Morgan"

My pledge to you is to be a mindful attendee at Town Hall meetings, to be a thoughtful listener and to refrain from reacting angrily to hecklers or others inciting antagonistic behavior.

Cordially,
Morgan S......

Is The US On The Brink Of Fascism??

Sun, 09 Aug 2009 18:01:50 GMT

I ran across this article at Truthout and felt it was worthwhile to share:

On second thought, sharing this is mandatory according to the dictates of my conscience.

Evil Lies, Evil Behavior

Sat, 08 Aug 2009 14:56:53 GMT

Lets stop the lies and evil behavior around health care reform.

I've read the bill that is pending regarding health care reform and there is not one word in there to substantiate claims that the Republican right and health care industry is putting out against health care reform like 'death panels' or restricting access. It is evil of pundits like Rush Limbaugh and politicos like Sarah Palin to be acting on behalf of the health care industry against the common good of the average American citizen by fomenting violent protests at town hall meetings across the country.

It is evil to incite people to go into any town meeting with the goal of disrupting the proceedings and to cause such a ruckus that the meeting is silenced. Silence speech and you silence democracy. Sean Hannity says "Become part of a mob!" But should a mob form and become violent with people being injured, lemme tell ya, Sean Hannity will NOT be paying for the medical care of the injured. Sean Hannity will be able to claim "My hands are clean, I didn't do anything wrong." He just encouraged people to join a mob without any thought to what happens when the mood of the mob changes for the worse.

It is evil to incite people to the point that they are calling in death threats to congressmen because sure as the sun rises in the East, this will be some fool who will take it in their hands to try to carry out those threats.

Shame on you for encouraging evil for the sake of patronage and money from the health insurance industries. You're like war profiteers and you oughta be ashamed of yourselves.

Cogitations

Thu, 06 Aug 2009 15:17:11 GMT

Good morning. How're you all doing today?

It's too bloody hot right now. Our NM weather has been near record breaking and our night time temps are not doing their usual 20+ degree drop from daytime temperatures. It seems like I've sweat more this summer than in previous ones.

I love camping. Some of the camping chores I'm not so fond of... like the post camping clean up. We discovered last weekend that a bottle of cooking oil had leaked into the camp kitchen box we use. There was a film of oil on most everything on the bottom of the box so, after getting home, I got to pull everything out and scrub the box out with hot soapy water. Then I got to scrub everything I pulled out of the box too! The bonus for doing this chore was getting to reclaim some wooden spoons that rightfully belong in my kitchen, not the camp kitchen! Ha!

There was a story in Truthout about Bush & Rove and the firings of the six US Attorneys a couple years ago. Now, I worked as a temp in the city law office where David Iglesias once worked so I'm damned sure that Iglesias was doing a fine, ethically balanced job as U.S. Attorney. His character as a human being and as an attorney is exceptional and it saddened me to see politicos try to carry out the kind of hatched job on him that they did.

One of my favorite people on the planet, John Corbin, is suffering from cancer and dying. Some of you may know him from Sulpher Springs, NM, various SCA events, pagan events and Burning Man and even the military and NM Tech. If you know him, give him a shout before he passes to the Summerlands. His sons or daughters will read your messages of love and affection to him!

Prof. Gates Neighborhood

Sun, 26 Jul 2009 14:22:18 GMT

After many days of watching the news about Professor Henry Louis Gates arrest at home by the Cambridge police, I found myself wondering about the neighbor who called in the alleged burglary and wondering why the heck they didn't recognize Professor Gates as their neighbor. Why didn't they go up to him and his driver and ask him what was up.? Why didn't the neighbor bother to have cultivated enough of a neighborly relationship to know he was their neighbor who had a legitimate right to be trying to get into his own home? Just wondering what's up with that.

Our family "heirloom" isn't a happy one. It is a mood disorder called major depression and it has run in the family for generations and before the advent of drugs like SSRIs some of my family, on both sides, self medicated with alcohol and became alcoholics on top of and in addition to being depressives. I had already decided by the age of 10 that I wasn't going to have children because there was no way I wanted to pass on my family's genetic inheritance and the pain that goes along with living with it. I succeeded in that.

Weathering Changes & Maybe Making A Sheckel Or Two

Sun, 19 Jul 2009 19:04:13 GMT

It's still the economy and weathering it has been challenging. Working part time is not paying the bills so in addition to job hunting for permanent full time work as an older (read over 50) woman, I've decided that it was time to pare my library down. It took weeks and weeks of praying to "become willing to become willing to let go". (A painful decision if ever there was one. Sigh.)

I've been collecting a lot of books over the last 35 years, so am experimenting with selling one of my very good Robert Silverberg books on eBay. So we shall see what that turns up for me. If I get what I think the book is worth, then I may 'empty the attic' there.

As for weathering the changes -- well, I'm up and down about them emotionally. I find it really hard to stifle the loathing I feel about the long term consequences of Reagonomics & the "greed is good" and "I got mine and to hell with you" mentality that has characterized our economy over the last 30 years. I'm feeling a bit bitter.

I Need Good Work
