Running, Romney and Ryan... so what will happen?

The Bain Capital effect, will happen, if that team is elected. Sigh, all they have to do is calm the fears of the faint of heart - which seems to me to be most of America, so sure they can't live without the government. On the other ticket are Hope and Change, just need some more time and money - your fair share, or is that fare shared?

I am still not sure why Romney wants to be President, I have to think he just wants a challenge and to make a legacy for his great great grandchildren. He doesn't need the power or the money, his place in Heaven is secured, and he has more love around him than most folks do (he doesn't watch anymore television than he drinks alcohol and coffee). Don't you know the money men, and the politicians are going to hate a clean living, hard working, competent executive in the White House. He doesn't even think of the job as KING for eight years. Then he shows you how he is going to do that, the same way he built BAIN, pick the right team, organize, assign tasks and goals and work hard. Spooky thought. The country actually might be richer and more efficient, the ones that can't be of service are let go, Agencies that duplicate, or pretend to be important, dry on the vine or are burned quickly. Exciting times.

I think this Vice President will be very important for tweaking and watching all Senate and House actions.

In both the Romney and Ryan life are core examples of family, hard work, faith, failure and follow through. In the other team are examples of what doesn't work... too much government dependence for your success and outright bad behavior. Having said all that, the only person I am sure knows how to fix most of the problems of the government on America is Ron Paul. What he can't do is get elected, nor inspire the multitude of helpless and hopeless, most of which are well orchestrated voters - vote once - more often.

Yeah, I am a bad man, I still don't trust most of them, gasp! Really, only trust in the Lord, seems to be working for Romney and Ryan.

My wife left me for some vodka, you know me...

My brother contacted me on Skype.com on his iPhone from the hospital. My wife gave him her best wishes, advice, and said she would say prayers. I made him laugh, which hurts with the staples and long opening they made in his body so they could put it all into 'all better', he has tubes coming out of him but he will never look like a BORG, and he thinks they will allow him to go home on Monday, but doesn't know for sure. His wife will be visiting today. He is in good spirits, under pain medications, and enjoys humor, he smiles much, rolls his eyes and has laugh crinkles - but don't be too funny or too long. My sister was surprised I kind of could describe what was wrong with him and why... she wondered how I knew. I told her recreational reading. When you get old enough, lots more medical knowledge than you ever wanted to know about suddenly appears useful.

If my wife gets back soon with the vodka, we will have lunch and work around the house a bit. I intend to go shooting pistols today.

I was going to write about lack of trust being the major problem in America, which causes fool notions like World government, black helicopters, trigger happy police with SWAT gear on, anti-gun, anti-drug, anti-war,
and two political parties that do whatever the media and the money make them do... voters only count on election day, after that the score is on money spent, money borrowed, and how many words will it take to say nothing of importance? How many pages will the lawyers need to make them happy?

Aren't you happy I wish you very well, with lots of laughs in your life and God's blessings? I could be as scary as the cultural media and entertainment? My brother was worried about his band, his replacement and what is happening while he is gone -- even music men have a solid work ethic. Take care out there!

So how is not participating in stupidity working?

Yes, how is that working for you to be smarter than most of America? Not participating in stupidity, it is a lofty goal. One of my easiest to demonstrate... I don't abuse drugs, costs the government zero dollars to fight the war on drugs with me -- ZERO! So someone asks you don't take medication? Yes, but I don't have to and if it is medication it is being given to me for a health benefit, which is only a problem if you don't want me around too long.

Gambling, when I was a young soldier in Vietnam I learned that dice is the quickest way to lose money in my world. So I don't participate now, poker I could break even, but I always bought rounds when I won which put me behind on the night. So I play other card games for the skill and company, not for money. Now the lottery has been proclaimed to benefit education in most states, and sure enough those not buying tickets are well educated, and if you are buying a ticket -- you are supporting the most effective efficient tax on the poor ever designed. But it is a chance to get really rich... yep, the chances of the big prize are such I don't want to spend time figuring my chances. I remember that the native Americans, liking to gamble and drink lost much of America to greedy white folks.

Speaking of which, if you wanted to not participate in stupidity, don't sign treaties or contracts with the Great White Father in Washington, DC. Seems they constantly can't protect you, your lands or the buffalo. But then that is why so many fool American citizens believe in their government, they want to end up like the native American tribes - discarded humans in their own country. Oh, you wanted your own casino, so you could be rich... you get the house's cut. And share it with some corporation that builds the casino, runs the operations and skims off very good money for itself and gives you something in return. Still, my most effective response to those that think the government can take care of me and mine better than I and us, look at how well they destroyed the native Americans. And just when you are telling yourself it is because America is racist - thing again, it isn't America that is racist, it is the government that divides to conquer and exploit.

Last evening I got so into a new book on my kindle that I missed my favorite weekly program, which is on opposite to my other favorite program. And I never missed either of them. And as many times as they rerun NCIS, my two favorite programs will get run again, and again. I should save it for when I run out of real life and arts. But you see, watching television is stupid, for putting up with commercials, for violent  discourse on things that are meant to drive you crazy so you can ask you doctor are you healthy enough for ... fill in your blank. Take care out there, find all those that love you, and hang on tight. The world is getting a little more stupid.

Had some stuff to print for my wife...

So I had to figure out again how to get the printer back to work... did say I wasn't going participate in the stupidity out there, didn't I? So you don't need a printer for that.

Any way, I am now with print capability again. While doing that I listened mindlessly to The View, five women that aren't afraid to talk about all they don't know about. Turn it off and print away.

I have gotten very disgusted with the campaign ads, enough so I am not tuning in, And the news programs are just spreading the stink everywhere. If you didn't know, they do want you to know. Not one news program has really looked at the Affordable Care Act, none of them have looked deep into the Federal Reserve, and all their coverage of the European Government banks and bonds and the Euro aren't covered any better than they do the Olympics. How does it feel to cause the collapse of Western Civilization?

Don't worry, be happy. You can't stop politicians from telling lies, you can't bail out the banks, and if there no longer are services, then you will have to do without. Really. Yes, someone will be by to ask for your assistance when it all falls apart. But since you are so far away from the centers of power, you will have to wait a bit for them to find you.

My wife wanted a picture to take to work, so the island charmer is smiling, be happy. God loves us with all the faults.

How does that really work...

Everyone knows about air and water, our simple compounds of molecules that we want to use for our survival. But where I think modern society has failed in keeping the pressure on... STEAM POWER! For that is an example, almost daily reminder for many, of how people work best. People, get them heated up and contained, may produce power to move the country, the world and the universe. Sure, we once knew about pressure release valves, maintenance of the machines, monitoring of the temperatures and stuff one had to do to have that big rig moving earth, and reapers or combines. Steam power. The lessons not learned.

We don't pay too much attention to the rules any longer... if you heat the air - it expands and goes away.... High pressure areas. Fuel for Hurricanes hot water to move Lower pressure over which starts sucking up more heat and spinning air and water vapor out of control... takes an expert weather person to make the call.

As we watch weather, we don't immediately connect to lack of a people monitor... the economic measures should work. When we work, we heat up and work harder, when we work for the Man, we move so slow... which is why slavery doesn't produce the massive monuments of long ago and far away. Just my thoughts that you have to be working for love of something much more wonderous than the snot picking neighbor bleching so beautifully.. beside you. And those living in fear now, would tell you that whips and chains will work - they would give anything to be spared the beatings. Truth is cowards don't breed nor survive long, life is a struggle and you have to have hope in tomorrow. Most cowards lay down and die, too tired, too low to consider that they were created to be much more than what they had surrendered into... wallowing in self lost...

So my point, and I do have one. My point is people are like particles, they can move faster and produce more, they excite each other in contact - each touch sends them off in a different direction and the heat builds, and organizations can harness much, but not all, of that to produce things. The organization can get so locked down that only the exact thing happens, over and over, and if monitored correctly it is safe... then an earthquake happens and frightens the rest of us... well, not me.

Those that want to be KING, or pretend they don't want to be King but treated like one or a savior or hero or rock star... they want everyone to belong to them, to work on their project to make everyone think of them as almost a little god -- immortal, wonderful and to be worshipt. With their own followers, worshippors and priests to control and bless the masses of mindless. IT isn't natural, and the force of the people and population and purpose will cut through rocks, earth, fences, topple castles and kings.. blowing over all that holds it back from where it has to go.

What is the orientation of your life? or of your home? Are you centered on the Big Screen television? The hot rod in the garage? The job, your home just a bed stop? I am not waiting for the President, or the next President... or a return of the long ago Presidents or Kings... and I know all their intentions and rules aren't to make me better - they are to make them better.

So I orient on people and love and life. I will look for the Lord, and when we had nothing we thought God was in Heaven, which we could admire from the earth but never reach, but He never left our side, we are just blind and deaf in ourselves. We have choices, we will bounce, it is not good to be so hot we burn and certainly not so cold we freeze and never do more than lock in forever... without love or life. Balance...

Taking part... in the political process...

 One of the candidates for Governor is a friend on Facebook, and sent out a reminder that our Primary is today, yesterday. So after clearing the table from dinner, my wife and I opened our ballots and the voter's pamphlet and started picking out the one we want for all those State and County offices.

We don't vote alike often. I did distract her and had a funny thought. I should have more voters on my Facebook Friends, from the local area. I could have told them all to write in my name and I might have become a County officer, or judge? Scary thought isn't it?

Still, I see much good in the FB contacts for all my reasons and I am certain that no one influenced my voting at the Polling Place... well drop box.

Since one of the drop boxes in by the library, I feel sorry for those that get confused and put their ballot into the book drop. I don't know what the staff would do, but if I were emptying the book return bin and found some envelopes - they would get put into the ballot box before  8 PM.

Should make sure our voters can read. It could be very important. I personally cannot remember not being able to read, and I have always worried about some soldiers that didn't read or write well. Very limiting in the modern military, very. The morning television is mumbling in my background and I notice that I am as excited about Romney's VP pick as he is about leading the country. I do have an answer for the whole tax challenge by the Democrats. For his entire life by year, just the number of dollars paid in taxes, along with the dollars of charitable donations. For every year... let them wonder about that. As a matter of fact, buy a page in the WSJ, with the numbers. I think that Harry is just losing his mind to accuse, indirectly, Mitt Romney of a crime too easily proven.

But then you did know that politicians don't get smarter with age and service? VOTE them all out.

Time to protest, and get out of the way...

The world is spinning pretty fast, I don't know that TSA was checking Curiosity for weapons and other things that might harm America before it left and went to Mars. But I am sure that thousands of nice peaceful people were undignified by TSA intrusions on their day.

It is that easy, isn't it? I know TSA doesn't hate me, the airlines want my money and travel. But I am no longer beautiful, important nor adventurous. I drop out of the line waiting patiently for permission. You can have my seat and my flight. Until I get the same treatment as the President of the United States when he flies, I am not participating. Because I don't have to be as stupid as the people playing along, I don't have to surrender to terrorists. My address is on the internet, the terrorists can find me, save my bankrupt government some dollars it doesn't have.

I am not as brave as to think the remainder of America should participate. Many of you make money by getting on an aircraft and risking your lives to pilots, mechanics and union and non union workers. Terrorists are just a new form of something to fear. But to think that my government that once believed in my freedom, and was brave in the face of real opposition - my government thinks the little old lady, the baby and the innocent are to be demonized for what they can't find -- a reason to cower the citizens.

Yep, the same fools that run around telling me I am hot because of Global Warming, Cooling, fat belly, and lack of airconditioning... are the ones telling me that destroying guns will stop the deaths. Truth is, outlawing Gravity will save more lives than you understand on what gets covered in the news. Lady falls in her home and dies, falls in the shower, bathtub, down the stairs, against the countertop. Slips on the ice, grease, split milk, rain puddle.

I will continue to allow the slow death of reason out there, the day is too wonderful to waste on worry and wars unending. God bless your best.
