Gun Control, or Environmental Control

2013-01-10T17:39:00.003-06:00

Gun Control, or Environmental Control?

In today's news media, mass murder is glorified with press coverage under the guise of the public's right to know.

But what about the public's right, not to know?

The media argues that if you do not want to know, turn off the TV.
But what about the public's right to keep the would be copy cats from knowing? Or in other words, the public's right to be protected under the law?

The media argues, "Freedom of the Press", and that this is the world we live in.
But the truth is, that this is not the world we live in. For if it were, then murder, even mass murder, would not be reported on as it would be nothing more than an everyday event. Therefore and in consideration of the Freedom of the Press. What about the mental health issue of providing an environment in which retribution through mass murder is the norm? For it is just such an environment that is praised by the news media, each time an incident occurs. Isn't that the same as an AR-15 with a multi-round clip? But that the bullets (news reports), are confirmations of fame and glory?

Many argue, that if only we had gun control, these criminal acts would not occur.
But what about China, where mass murders are committed with knives and swords?
And the Middle East, where mass murders are committed with home made bombs?

Many would argue that guns make it easier to commit these heinous acts, and therefore they should be banned. But what about planes, trains, and automobiles? All of which can be just as easily obtained. And all of which can be used to commit mass murder on an even more massive scale than an AR-15. Should not these weapons of destruction be banned as well? But that these types of implements are not as glorified as the gun. And why not? But that the News Media would have us to believe that while a train wreck is tradjec, it is not nearly as impressive or horrifying as a shooting. Which in perspective, argues to the point that, these types of acts should Not be publicized. As each time a mass shooting is publicized, copy cats, and even competitors for infamy, rise up to make their mark in history. And as the only reason for using a gun, is for the publicity.

In conclusion
The banning of guns will only promote the use of other, and more deadly weapons such as planes, trains, and automobiles. As these types of killing implements, would then be glorified by the press.

More than a sociological problem; gun violence, and even violence itself, is an environmental problem. And as it is the News Media that pollutes our environment with glorifications of such violence. It is the News Media that should be Banned from reporting on such incidents, while at the same time maintaining the freedom of the press by allowing them to report on the punishment of the criminals, rather than on the act itself.

The solution to ending Mass Shootings and even Terrorism, is not gun control.
It is Environmental Control.

Romney Loses! Republicans Left to Wonder WHY???

2012-11-06T23:28:00.000-06:00

Romney Loses!

Republicans Left to Wonder

WHY???

When Massachusetts was called early Tuesday night for President Obama, I knew it was over. I mean if you can't win your own State, then you've got no chance. But did he ever really have a chance?

I say "No". Romney never had a chance as:

Romney is the worse communicator I've ever seen.
He's Rich
he's Not a likable guy.
Romney is a flip-flopper.
Romney initiated Forced health care in his own State. And in deed never said he would Repeal Obama-Care, but Replace it.
Everybody wants something for nothing, and that's what Obama promised. Free phones, Free health-care, Free food, Free everything. Well, at least until January 1st, 2013. THEN, the people will find out that there is no free lunch. That in deed, all these entitlements he has promised us, are/were nothing more than enticements. Enticements meant to lure us in, make us comfortable, and impossible to leave. Impossible, as we will soon be incapable of taking care of ourselves.

But Wait! That time has already arrived.
That's why we Re-elected this promiser of Obamatopia.
RE-elected, as we no longer believe that we are responsible for our own care or safety. Or even of our own actions as we are, "Victims of Society".

Victims of the Rich, Victims of the Whites, Victims of the Republicans, Victims of MEN!!!

Well there's nothing to worry about now. Obama's going to fix everything by taxing the rich (anybody who's got a job), and give it to the Islamic Brotherhood.

Now don't get me wrong as I do not blame Obama, or the Islamic Brotherhood. But rather the people of the United States for being such selfish, and naive fools.

I tried telling my Republican friends that Romney wasn't going to work. I mean to start, he's too much like John McCain. Old, and out of touch. And when I say "out of touch", I mean that most United States citizens don't care about their Nation. They only care about themselves. And, "what have you done for me lately". I mean, all you gotta do is watch an episode of Dr Phil, Jerry Springer, or Judge Judy, and you will see them everywhere. And in truth, Romney knew and identified these "Victims of Society", as the "47%" that would never vote for him. But that didn't stop him, and doesn't stop his fellow Republicans (if you can call them Republican), from fearing the loss of the "independent"vote.

I seriously doubt weather America will be able to recover from another Obama term. But if there is one thing I know for sure, it is that every veteran who has ever fought and died for this country, is now turning over in his grave.

But hey! I got my Free Obama Phone, computer, welfare check, food stamps, Sec 8 housing and Cadillac. What more could a man ask? Hell, I don't even have to work as Obama is going to tax the rich to pay for my welfare. (Only in America!)

Of course, the rich will soon be leaving America for more appreciative shores. And where will I be then? Communist Russia?

Mitt Romney Fails

2012-11-06T22:24:00.001-06:00

Well it looked pretty good after the first debate. And if you were a Republican, the second and third debates weren't so bad either. But as time marched on, and ended on the night of November 5, 2012. It became all to evident, that Mitt Romney failed to convince the voters that he was any better, than Barack Hussein Obama.

Though not yet "officially" called. As of 10:00PM central Daylight Time, and even ealier. It now appears Barack Obama will remain President of the "Not So United States".

Maybe it was Romney's constant flip-flopping. Or the people's hatred for the rich. Maybe it was the people's own greed and selfish want for entitlements. Or maybe it was because of a woman's need to have sex with a Good looking man.

What ever it was, and however way you look at it, one thing is for sure.

America, has changed.

Mitt Romney is Back in the Race!

2012 Presidential Debate:

Mitt Romney Debates Barrack Obama

Mitt Romney Debates Barrack Obama

Just after the debate had ended, I quickly scanned FOX, NBC, ABC, and CBS news channels for comments from the news anchors themselves. And, WOW!!! What a difference from what I've been hearing over the past few weeks (months really).

Instead of the hands down Barrack Obama is, and will forever be, our fearless leader. The news media heads were all giving Mitt Romney the Thumbs Up for a Gold Medal performance.

George Will of ABC News, said that Mitt Romney made the debate all about his plan for moving America forward, and even gave details of how he intended to do it. And that in deed, Mitt Romney seemed more aggressive and even "Presidential" than did President Obama. Which was pretty much the sentiment of the other new agencies.

One point in particular that was recalled. Was when Obama tried to explain his Education policy but tended to wander in his explanation giving Romney the chance to call him on it saying, "I don't know what you're talking about". And apparently, the Presidents fellow democrats didn't get it either as they too, were expressing their disappointment in the President's performance.

All in all, as it was thought by political pundits everywhere that Governor Mitt Romney needed to sell himself and his policies, it would seem that he did just that as the news media was pleasantly surprised, and the democrats were totally let down.

Will this New Mitt Romney carry over and through the November elections? Who can tell. But that at this particular point in time, Mitt Romney is Back in the Race, for President, of the United States.

Conspiracy Theory: Osama Bin Laden Murdered

Conspiracy Theory:

Osama Bin Laden

!!!MURDERED!!!

Who's to say that the location of Osama Bin Laden wasn't known all along? That in fact, Bin Laden was housed by the State Department, until such time as he was no longer needed.

And who's to say that, that "time", did not come the night of April 30, 2012 by Executive Order from now President Obama? And in consideration of, the upcoming 2012 Presidential Election?

With President Obama's record of raising taxes and a failing American economy, it seems to be all too coincidental. Especially since, it was President Obama himself who said, we should bring these terrorist criminals back to the United States for a Fair Trail.

Project Vote Smart

at Project Vote Smart, Americans young and old volunteer their time, take no money from special interest groups, and have committed themselves to an extraordinary effort that, if successful, will provide their fellow citizens with the tools for a reemergence of political power not known for half a century. Their idea is one you may have thought of yourself. It is a deceptively simple concept but enormously difficult to achieve and would not be possible without the collaboration of citizens willing to lay their partisan differences aside for this one crucial task.

Picture this: thousands of citizens (conservative and liberal alike) working together, spending endless hours researching the backgrounds and records of thousands of political candidates and elected officials to discover their voting records, campaign contributions, public statements, biographical data (including their work history) and evaluations of them generated by over 100 competing special interest groups. Every election these volunteers test each candidate's willingness to provide citizens with their positions on the issues they will most likely face if elected... Read More!

14 Killed as
Tornadoes Twist the Midwest

PIEDMONT, Okla. – A violent storm system rumbled through the central U.S. on Wednesday, spawning tornadoes that turned homes into splintered wreckage, killing at least 14 people over two days and hampering rescue efforts in a city slammed by a massive twister days earlier. - Read full story on Yahoo News.

Opinion: Get a SHELTER!!!
Yeah, I know that may sound cruel. But this ain't the first Tornado ever to hit the Midwest. And it ain't gonna be the last either.

But will anybody "now" install a storm shelter?
Hell, no. They'll just bitch and complain, and cry "oh poor me", while the politicians get fat off the funds that were "suppose" to go to the victims. ~ What a world.

We the People of the United States,
in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Article. I

Section. 1

All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.

Section. 2

The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year by the People of the several States, and the Electors in each State shall have the Qualifications requisite for Electors of the most numerous Branch of the State Legislature.

No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the Age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen.

Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons. The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct. The Number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty Thousand, but each State shall have at Least one Representative; and until such enumeration shall be made, the State of New Hampshire shall be entitled to chuse three, Massachusetts eight, Rhode-Island and Providence Plantations one, Connecticut five, New-York six, New Jersey four, Pennsylvania eight, Delaware one, Maryland six, Virginia ten, North Carolina five, South Carolina five, and Georgia three.

When vacancies happen in the Representation from any State, the Executive Authority thereof shall issue Writs of Election to fill such Vacancies.

The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.

Section. 3

The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, chosen by the Legislature thereof for six Years; and each Senator shall have one Vote.

Immediately after they shall be assembled in Consequence of the first Election, they shall be divided as equally as may be into three Classes. The Seats of the Senators of the first Class shall be vacated at the Expiration of the second Year, of the second Class at the Expiration of the fourth Year, and of the third Class at the Expiration of the sixth Year, so that one third may be chosen every second Year; and if Vacancies happen by Resignation, or otherwise, during the Recess of the Legislature of any State, the Executive thereof may make temporary Appointments until the next Meeting of the Legislature, which shall then fill such Vacancies.

No Person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty Years, and been nine Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen.

The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided.

The Senate shall chuse their other Officers, and also a President pro tempore, in the Absence of the Vice President, or when he shall exercise the Office of President of the United States.

The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.

Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.

Section. 4

The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.

The Congress shall assemble at least once in every Year, and such Meeting shall be on the first Monday in December, unless they shall by Law appoint a different Day.

Section. 5

Each House shall be the Judge of the Elections, Returns and Qualifications of its own Members, and a Majority of each shall constitute a Quorum to do Business; but a smaller Number may adjourn from day to day, and may be authorized to compel the Attendance of absent Members, in such Manner, and under such Penalties as each House may provide.

Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member.

Each House shall keep a Journal of its Proceedings, and from time to time publish the same, excepting such Parts as may in their Judgment require Secrecy; and the Yeas and Nays of the Members of either House on any question shall, at the Desire of one fifth of those Present, be entered on the Journal.

Neither House, during the Session of Congress, shall, without the Consent of the other, adjourn for more than three days, nor to any other Place than that in which the two Houses shall be sitting.

Section. 6

The Senators and Representatives shall receive a Compensation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States. They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.

No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the United States, which shall have been created, or the Emoluments whereof shall have been encreased during such time; and no Person holding any Office under the United States, shall be a Member of either House during his Continuance in Office.

Section. 7

All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.

Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a Law, be presented to the President of the United States: If he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his Objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the Objections at large on their Journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such Reconsideration two thirds of that House shall agree to pass the Bill, it shall be sent, together with the Objections, to the other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two thirds of that House, it shall become a Law. But in all such Cases the Votes of both Houses shall be determined by yeas and Nays, and the Names of the Persons voting for and against the Bill shall be entered on the Journal of each House respectively. If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law.

Every Order, Resolution, or Vote to which the Concurrence of the Senate and House of Representatives may be necessary (except on a question of Adjournment) shall be presented to the President of the United States; and before the Same shall take Effect, shall be approved by him, or being disapproved by him, shall be repassed by two thirds of the Senate and House of Representatives, according to the Rules and Limitations prescribed in the Case of a Bill.

Section. 8

The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

To borrow Money on the credit of the United States;

To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;

To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;

To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;

To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;

To provide and maintain a Navy;

To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces;

To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;

Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.

The Electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by Ballot for two Persons, of whom one at least shall not be an Inhabitant of the same State with themselves. And they shall make a List of all the Persons voted for, and of the Number of Votes for each; which List they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the Seat of the Government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate. The President of the Senate shall, in the Presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the Certificates, and the Votes shall then be counted.

The Congress may determine the Time of chusing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States.

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

In Case of the Removal of the President from Office, or of his Death, Resignation, or Inability to discharge the Powers and Duties of the said Office, the Same shall devolve on the Vice President, and the Congress may by Law provide for the Case of Removal, Death, Resignation or Inability, both of the President and Vice President, declaring what Officer shall then act as President, and such Officer shall act accordingly, until the Disability be removed, or a President shall be elected.

The President shall, at stated Times, receive for his Services, a Compensation, which shall neither be increased nor diminished during the Period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the United States, or any of them.

Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:--"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.

Section 3

He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper; he shall receive Ambassadors and other public Ministers; he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States.

Section 2

The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority;--to all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls;--to all Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction;--to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party;--to Controversies between two or more States;-- between a State and Citizens of another State,--between Citizens of different States,--between Citizens of the same State claiming Lands under Grants of different States, and between a State, or the Citizens thereof, and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects.

In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.

The Trial of all Crimes, except in Cases of Impeachment, shall be by Jury; and such Trial shall be held in the State where the said Crimes shall have been committed; but when not committed within any State, the Trial shall be at such Place or Places as the Congress may by Law have directed.

Section 3

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

Most Dangerous Terrorist Treat to America!

2009-05-28T15:08:00.003-05:00

Trash Dispatch:
Pro-Lifers and U.S. Citizens against illegal immigration labeled as "Right-Wing Extremist" and,
The Most Dangerous Terrorist Treat to America!

That, according to an emergency assessment (PDF) entitled “Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment.” The "assessment", states; “rightwing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented . . . and those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration.”

Now, I don't know about you folks. But I am Offended! Of course, I guess I can't say much as then I might wind up as a Permanent guest of Guantanamo. So instead of saying anything more, check this article from American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ). - Department of Homeland Security Report: Pro-Lifers Most Dangerous Domestic Terrorists

A Word about DTV Converters!

2009-05-21T18:51:00.003-05:00

A Word about DTV Converters!

I bought two DTV Converters.
One for the wife, and one for me.

The first, we bought at Walmart.
The RCA DTA800B1 DTV Converter.
The "B1" means that this DTV Converter has "Pass-through".
The RCA DTA800B1 DTV Converter has an Extremely "senior friendly" remote control with LARGE, Easy to Read buttons. The wife really likes this one.

The one I use, is the Zenith DTT901 DTV Converter box which also has "Pass-through" capabilities, but a very small remote, that is very hard to read even for me. I do like the Channel Menu better. And the remote even has a "Favorites" feature that the RCA DTA800B1 does not have. It also has a "Previous Channel" button that the RCA DTA800B1 does not. But the remote itself is just so small, that it's in no way ergonomic.

The Channel List is much easier to use on the Zenith DTT901 DTV Converter. But you must tune to each channel independently in order to populate the Channel List with channel listings. The RCA DTA800B1 DTV Converter downloads channel listing all at once but, then you find yourself sitting there waiting for the channel listings to download instaed of watching TV. So in the end, I think I prefer the Zenith DTT901 DTV Converter for channel listings because of it's channel menu which makes it easy to scan through the channels while watching the current channel.

American Idol Vote Not Even Close!

American Idol Vote Not Even Close!

American Idol winner "Kris Allen" cites American Idol voters may have engaged in a bit of social profiling in voting for him as, “There’s not a whole lot of people that approve of the whole guy-liner thing and the nail polish and all that,” Kris said.

If true, that would mean that "Conservatives" dictated the outcome of American Idol, and that "Liberals" fell Far behind as, according to an MSNBC news source, who quotes a FoxNews source who; "told Access Hollywood that the vote left Kris as the clear winner by a large margin."

Which kinda makes you wonder what happen to all the conservatives during the 08 elections.

Nevertheless, here's Kris Allen - Heartless

CDC Swine Flu Vaccine for Global use, Not US?

2009-04-30T20:11:00.003-05:00

CDC Swine Flu Vaccine for Global Use.
Not US?

This in a Twitter from CBS Evening News Medical Correspondent, Jonathan LaPook (@drlapook).

Besser: "if we give vaccine in the fall, need to figure out who to give it to. Part of disc is around our commitment here vs globally".

Dr. Besser is the acting CDC Director who, also according Jonathan LaPook's twitter, stated;

"not to travel if u have a fever or are sick. He thinks flying and going on a subway are safe"

Here's my question! If the vaccine isn't coming out until Fall, isn't that a bit late? And Why are we saving others before ourselves. I mean, if we're all dead, then who's going to be left to save the rest of the world. Which, will not appreciate our help anyway.

It just doesn't make any sense except that, maybe, since we do not manufacture drugs in America anymore, then we don't have any choice but to BEG with offerings of Penance. Which seems to be Paying for the rest of the world's health care, while we settle for left overs. If any!

And another thing! The Only way it is going to be Safe to Fly or take the Subway, is "IF", the Sick Stay Home!

Yeah Right! Like that's gonna happen! Oh they'll stay home from work alright. But then down to the subway and off a shopping we will go and to hell with spreading the flu. So don't even think that the subway, or even flying will be ok. As business people have conventions and meetings to go to, and again to hell with spreading the flu.

The Swine Flu Epidemic, that wasn't.

2009-04-30T13:13:00.005-05:00

The Swine Flu Epidemic,
that wasn't.

Oh but it will be if our government has anything to do with it. Thousands of Infected Mexicans are streaming into Texas, and Governor Rick Perry says, "Not a Problem". And why should it be when he plans on using State and Federal facilities to treat these carriers of death. Not to mention giving them Your highways.

On the Federal side, we're not faring much better as this president seems to be set on continuing the Bush Policies of Open Borders, and No Defenses. Not to mention the Bush Bail-Out policies, the Bush Tax & Spend policies, and.. you know what i mean.
Welcome, to the New World Order! The New Hope!

The Great Swine Flu Manipulation!

Not just a local government experiment this time but World Wide manipulation of the people's minds and fears, has Egypt ordering slaughter of 300,000 pigs. (Which is really strange as the Muslims don't eat pork.)

School closings in major cities when one child simply sneezes. Or plays hookie claiming "I'm Sick".

But hey! It gives an otherwise Bored blogger something to write about so, I guess it ain't all bad. ;) And it keeps our minds off the economy, and away from out guns and religion.

So just what Really went on in that G20 meeting I wonder? Is this but the beginning?

Illinois Governor, Chicago Mobster, Rod Blagojevich

2008-12-10T18:34:00.008-06:00

Trash Dispatch:

Illinois Governor, Chicago Mobster, Rod Blagojevich

Illinois Governor, Chicago Gangster, Rod Blagojevich; was released today after cutting a Deal with the judge to go easy on him. That is, that Governor Rod Blagojevich would go easy on the judge. Which, when dealing with Chicago politics, who knows if the judge is straight, or just as corrupt as the rest of that Filthy City Of Dirty Rats?

And in deed the judge (obviously in on the take), released Governor Rod Blagojevich on his own recognizance after his best friend Barack Obama posted bail.

The Illinois Governor, Gangsta, Mobster, Con-man, Psychopath, Abuser of the public trust, and all around "typical" Illinois resident; was taken from his bed and arrested Tuesday after prosecutors alleged he was caught on wiretaps audaciously scheming to sell Barack Obama's vacant Senate seat for Cash, or at least a job for himself in the new administration.

According NewsOK, The charges do not identify by name any of the political figures under consideration for the Senate seat, referring to them only as "Candidate 1," ''Candidate 2," and so on. However, those being considered for the post include: Obama confidante Valerie Jarrett, Reps. Jesse Jackson Jr., Danny Davis, Jan Schakowsky and Luis Gutierrez; Illinois Senate President Emil Jones; and Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs Director Tammy Duckworth.

Tammy Duckworth. What an interestingly odd name.
So I Googled her, and this is what I found.

* Wikipedia- director of the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, Iraq War veteran whose severe combat wounds cost her both of her legs and damaged her right arm. She continues to serve as a Major in the Illinois Army National Guard and is married to Major Bryan W. Bowlsbey who is also an Iraq War Veteran and serves in the Illinois Army National Guard..

WOW!!! Impressive. And obviously not one to be involved in any kind of political scandal. But then I found this...

Suntimes- Nov 11, 2008 ... President-elect Barack Obama visited the Bronze Soldiers Memorial at Soldier Field this morning with Tammy Duckworth at his side. ...

Now I don't know, maybe it's just a coincidence. Seeing as how they both live in the same state and all. But one thing is for sure, until all the facts come out, EVERYBODY is under suspicion.

Texas Announces MILEAGE TAX!!!

2008-12-08T11:46:00.002-06:00

Trash Dispatch:

Texas Announces MILEAGE TAX!!!

TXDOT, the Texas Department of Transportation, is considering the implementation of a Mileage-Based User Tax, on all it’s highways.

In quoting Martin Capper, CEO of MARK IV IVHS, TxDOT has stated in their blog “Keep Texas Moving” that;

As current federal-aid surface transportation legislation is scheduled to expire in September 2009, and with infrastructure needs far out-stripping funding from current taxes, Martin Capper, CEO of MARK IV IVHS, told the 5,000 delegates of the 15th World Congress last week in New York that a mileage-based fee is technically possible and is a fair way to collect funds needed to meet North America’s infrastructure needs.

And Further that;

According to Capper, “With key transportation leaders seeking an annual increase in infrastructure spending as great as $50 billion per year, we must look at alternatives to the motor fuel tax, especially in the long term when fuel tax revenue will decline because of fuel economy, alternative fuels and a long-term increase in oil prices.”To raise $ 50 billion annually with fuel taxes would require an increase in the current federal motor fuels tax of about 28 cents-per-gallon. A two (2) cent-per-mile user fee would raise the same amount based only on activity in the top 100 major Metropolitan areas. Nationally, the revenue collected would be substantially more.

And just “how” would TxDOT go about Tracking the mileage of Texas Highway users?

“Because of its inherent fairness in allocating costs to system users, a per-mile fee is one option that should be considered,” added Capper. “5.9 GHz is proven and could be utilized to implement such a new fee, as well as offering coast-to-coast ubiquity for motorists in applications that today utilize disparate technologies such as electronic toll collection.”

5.9 GHz has moved past the theoretic stage with successful field testing in California and Detroit during 2008. Once in place, a 5.9 GHz open-architecture system would be available for many additional applications, including a mileage-based fee to support infrastructure.

And just what is this 5.9 GHz technology?

5.9 GHz DSRC is a powerful new communication medium between moving vehicles and the roadway as well as directly among moving vehicles. DSRC uses an allocation of radio frequency spectrum established by the FCC to enable a broad slate of public and private safety applications that promise to enhance the productivity of the nation’s transportation system. The development of 5.9 GHz DSRC is a critical milestone toward introduction of numerous applications such as intersection collision warning, curve speed warning, rollover warning, emergency electronic brake lights, nationally interoperable electronic toll collection and many others, some of which have not yet been conceived. Focusing on safety applications is part of the federal government’s commitment to reducing vehicle fatalities by 50 percent in 10 years. - Source: Industrial Embedded Systems- Consortium Demonstrates 5.9 GHz DSRC Technology

HA! Well, it appears as though the Government is focusing on More than saftey applications, now.

And though I don’t fully understand how it works, I can tell you that the 5.9 GHz DSRC is a Tiny little Chip embedded into the “tires” of your vehicle which then communicates (via PUBLIC air ways) with Roadside “Government” monitoring stations.

And it appears as though, TxDOT will be monitoring the movements of it’s citizens, very soon.

Your Comments are Welcome, and OH… Question…

Do you think that this is the technology that will someday be “embedded” into the Hand, or Forehead, of a Human Being??? (for Our own Safety, of course..)
