Was just watching the television and this thought..

I am very happy I am not living in Syria under the guns of the government, and the roving bands of thugs for themselves, freedom, Allah or revenge... they are all dangerous and may or may not be the same people. And how many doctors are the Universities in Damascus making while all this is happening? Who cares?

Well, I remember how many Cambodian doctors were produced under Pol Pot, and I am sure that although China now has doctors, they don't reach everywhere -- although everyone has medical coverage, some are more covered than others.

Just when you go to bed with that satisfied 'I live in America' smug smile before you sleep -- remember that our current government has a plan to make us all better. This is exactly the same goodness gracious group of government do-gooders (or else) that gives you Fast & Furious cover ups, and the wonderful education system. The same groups that support Occupy Wallstreet, personal bailouts and stuff. And we know how well the Unions have done in medicine, don't we? Why are the sheeple of America allowing bad things to happen?

If the teachers don't teach, if the students don't learn, if the folks just won't work -- what was the reason to reward them? The people in government, and all its agents and agencies must be personally responsible. They need to be sent where they will do the most good - as far away from Liberty as we can make them happy. There isn't a good reason that the United States of America should become a Third World nation, is there?

Once upon a time, Koreans with the means would go to Japan for medical treatments, now both Koreas have modern and almost moderner medicine. I will allow you to figure out which one is available to more people, and it probably isn't the one that says they provide medicine and health care to all their starving masses.

Looking at the success in urban blighted areas of schools not public but performing properly, we could be getting more doctors and nurses from them, instead of inmates, rock stars, thugs, sex slaves and seamy steamy underworlds.

When the whole World as We Know It collapses, the fastest group to regroup had better remember what Civilization was and start producing doctors, nurses, fathers with mothers, teachers and working folks. They had also best kill everyone that thinks politicians have any idea about: fair, equal or how to make things happen (that has to be a bad gene).

I am really happy that Hillary Clinton has the Syrian situation under control, because those terrible videos make me forget about Sudan, West Africa, and other regions killing a hundred times more of folks not like them or their likes. The ones keeping cameras and truth out of reality. Free Tibet!

As the fears grow... the stupidity is increased...

I just read about Aurora, Colorado and their police department. Arresting one bank robber, safely. How they did it and why makes me wonder how many will die in the next attack on population in their area. I can use 'their' because the police are pural, while a robber is singular. And although there were two high powered semi-automatic pistols found on the robber, only one was used in the crime. Guilt by association?

I remain thankful that although the police over reached on authority, that they didn't just shoot them all and allow God to sort them out... but that could be the next step. Y'all have a great day!

The Vanity Presidency...

Why do you become President? That is an excellent question, and only Ron Paul would give me an honest answer of the candidates running for election in 2012. Which is why I think is the problem.

The Presidency is a job, you are the Executive Officer of the National Government of a people and their States that want to be supported and at Liberty to be themselves - not perfect but themselves. I can't remember the last President that took the office as a burden, maybe Truman. He was happy to move on to citizen. I am not saying that the other Presidents weren't or aren't intelligent, hard working, or dishonest. But I do think that as successful people they only become President to become a little more celebrated for their beauty. It is vain and as you look deeper, it is not effective for the nation.

I see what Nixon did, some good stuff, but lots of wrong stuff. Reagan did good stuff, but so much wrong stuff. Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, both Bush boys and the current office holder, same.

Can you blame them? Those men can't sing well enough to entertain, act well enough to become the character in the story, so to be the object of worship for the masses without a foundation, they assume the robes of office and the Imperial Presidency. It comes with the fawning empty headed interns, the smart guys that support dumb ideas, and the money from big unions and banks and businesses that want more for themselves, especially government favor. So take your candidate of either political party and ask him what is his reason. The truth.

The only saving of the original idea of America is in the individual goals and lives of the individual people - one of the reasons that self education is better than the government provided one.

Korean Memorial Day is 6 June

Watching a Korean Talk Show, and they are talking to the mother of one of the soldiers killed recently on an island by the North Koreans, and a Doctor, and some Veterans of the Korean War - one serving when he was fourteen (ever have your country over run by godless Communists?). But the memories are shared and the old men cry... that is what memorial days are about, not an opportunity to make History like a foolish politician with self importance on his mind.

My wife, fine simple country woman that she is (yes, she remembers the war) says that you can't be a President if you fear your own people. And she voted for Obama...

So far behind I will never catch up...

Saturday was not spent shooting or riding or doing wonderful things.

I went to a Memorial for a fine man that had gone to the Lord. He was about my age, had served in Vietnam, found a lovely date in Seattle, got married, raised a family, member of the United Methodist Church, and participated in ministry to prisoners, and others going to be walking closer to God. The church was full. His last two years was spent fighting cancer and touching his family. He looked like a wonderful grandfather.

He made me uncomfortable with how well he fit into people, that he would hug - even me. Makes me think that hugging is along with raising an empty hand, a sign of trust not just affection. Ever hug someone carrying a firearm? You know pretty quick. I was glad I had known him a little and there were so many others that had known him better. The Kingdom of Heaven is ever growing, isn't it?

What is a little interest between friends...

Interest, could generate some warmth, a closer relationship and change your whole world... but maybe what I was talking about was the cost of borrowing someone else's money. How does that change one's life?

Well, add us the number of dollars you are paying in interest and figure how many gallons of milk that would be, how many pairs of shoes, money for improving your financial worth... buying into banks, or animals, or flowers.
All that is gone because you are paying interest on a purchase that you thought was important but you can't really name what that was. We buy meals, movies, books, ebooks, itunes and on and on. Just running up a tab, then look around and realize that we aren't doing well that way.

How can the nations do that? Where did they get the idea that debt was the way to make life better as a country? If everyone in this world decided to pay off all debts and not acquire new ones, we would all have more money than we would know what to do with it.

No one thinks about how much they could do with their own money, the government doesn't either. When they want to build a new arena in Seattle the wheeler dealers come out and figure a way to get bonds sold, as the City/County borrow money from people that have it, and then will pay interest and repay the bond, but give the rich people, unions, and retirement funds and such a tax break on the interest they paid... making them richer and the City/County poorer. But we have to have a better arena for those teams that don't exist yet... don't we?

Lets have a goal in life...

I am up on East coast time, for no more reason than I didn't want to spend another hour in darkness wondering if I was going to fall back to sleep. I have had halfa cuppa microwaved coffee. Wandered Facebook, noticing that some people were up after I last session, but most not. It must be time to crawl back into bed, the eyes are telling me they don't need this. Although I weighed I haven't measured, so I can pretend this is a commercial interrruption and go back to sleep. Trilling my 'r's.
