Weekly Notes:

June 18, 2007:

An Army:

The celebrities are just front men. The real power in the NRA is Wayne Lapierre. He is the sinister looking guy who is always standing right behind the front man. He is advocating for unlimited access to weapons for American’s. I don’t know how many real gun nuts we have, but think of this. If he could get just one percent of Americans armed and into private militias he would have a 3 million-man army. With that, he could easily overthrow our government.

Charity:

People who are in prison should be required to work. They should be paid for that work and they should be able to choose the charity that will receive that pay. However, if the person in prison has a spouse and children on the outside, the pay should go to them automatically. The spouse should not need to get an attorney to have that happen.

Corrupt:

Our entire legal system in America is corrupt. That is my opinion based on my experience and my observation. I only know of one attorney who may be honest. She withdrew from the profession because she could not stand being associated with that kind of humans. All of the others I know of are covered with the slime and filth of their trade. I do not believe there is one honest judge in America. They are all tied to the politicians who helped them achieve power and they reflect the same scummy values in their judgments.

This political corruption of the judiciary is a direct result of the two party politics. The two party distortion of our political process goes all the way back to our great founders. It began with Jefferson when he made a political deal with the likes of Aaron Burr for no more noble purpose than to win an election. Don’t tell me I have no right to bad mouth a great man like Jefferson. I do believe he was a great man, but let us not lay on such heavy varnish over the truth. He made a fatal mistake when he corrupted the election process with a political deal. The bad joke is, the two party system he initiated managed to bring about the very thing he dreaded most and fought so hard against. It ultimately caused the complete concentration of power in the federal establishment. We have an absolutely powerful and absolutely corrupt federal establishment.

Snivel Service:

I found this phrase in Bennett’s book, “America, the Last Best Hope.” In this case, it really applies. Snivel Service is what the US Postal Service has become. Instead of doing their jobs, they search for excuses to not do them. Then they make all kinds of snivel statements to the media in attempts for sympathy. “Too much snow, too much mud, too many dogs, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.” Of course, the media goes right along with it. It makes me sick to hear that kind of whining and then remember how the Postal Service used to be. They really believed their motto, which they now deny to be their motto.

Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat,

nor gloom of night,

stays these couriers from the swift completion

of their appointed rounds.

---- Herodotus : 503 B.C.

Solutions:

All solutions are interim solutions. Yesterday’s solutions are today’s problems. We have never faced that reality in America. When we have a problem and solve it, we always just sit back with a smug satisfied attitude saying, in effect, “Well that is that. We are done with that one.” That is a pure bullcrap approach to reality. As soon as we solve a problem, we should assume the solution will eventually become a problem. We should begin the search for the solution to the solution immediately.

Until we start to think that way, we will always be a day late and a dollar short in dealing with our problems. We will be putting patches on obsolete solutions trying to make them continue to work. Of course, to think that way takes creative imagination. Bureaucracies do not have that quality, be they government or business bureaucracies. To think that way also requires courage. We must have the courage to figure out how our beautiful solution will fail. Then we must begin creating a new solution that will account for that failure and so on.

Felons:

Recently the local TV station showed us some punks being lead into a courtroom for a preliminary hearing. They are brothers who are charged with murder and it is clear they really did it. They were just kids and I wondered again, how kids turn out this way. That made me think that not enough people had been charged in this murder. Perhaps the parents should be charges as accessories before the fact.

Troop Surge:

It seems to be working better for getting our kids killed off every week. Last week, we had 37 fine American Soldiers killed in that hell hole for no more reason than to support the mad king’s denial of reality. When will that fool give it up? Meanwhile, Hamas has taken over in the Gaza Strip.

The invasion of Iraq was the biggest most costly tactical blunder in American history. I was an action that had no relationship whatsoever to our avowed goals and strategy. Our goal is supposedly to make America and the free world safe. The strategy is to confront and stop terrorism wherever we find it. We can do that by taking away their bases and financial support. In Iraq we managed to open the door for them to create additional bases and support. Nice work!

Al-Marri:

He is an American citizen who was suspected of being an Al-Qaeda agent. He was being held in prison as a suspect without charges. A federal court ruled that king George cannot do that. They cannot hold a man indefinitely. They have to let him go. So, what did the mad king do? He is trying to hold the guy anyway, while he appeals the court decision. And the dance of idiots continues.

The Little Plane That Couldn’t:

Congress has spent 63 million on another goony bird plane that cannot fly. The armed services do not want it. They have rejected it. Of course, that did not stop congress. They are going to continue to fund this failed project. Why. Because it’s pork for a crony! Remember when Pelosi promised reform? Sure! It has ever been thus!
