Good eats

I would like to know some favorite foods people have. Since it is past my lunch time and I am feeling a tad hungry I want to know what everyone likes to eat on a brisk Autumn day? Me personally I still like getting out and grilling bratwurst with baked beans and corn, or maybe kabobs. Anyone else?

More about the Bailout plan

Well once again I will talk about the Bailout plan. It seems that what I see as a plan that will hurt and help people is getting tweaked in Washington over the weekend, since our two party political system can never agree on whats better for their agendas. As you see I did not say "whats better for the people" since the actual people that need help get ignored, you know, those people who lost work and can't afford to keep their children in a house! Maybe there might be just one person in congress saying hey we should give this money back to the people, to help the economy the lowest rungs of the classes have to spend money that is not linked to a loan.
If the lenders get this bailout I fail to see how it will help those people who can fix this economy. Sure lenders can be free to hand out more loans, and mortgages, but that does not fix the problem but adds a band aid to a wound that needs stitches. Somewhere someone has to see that the fix has to come from the bottom up instead of the top down.

The Bail

Well the time has come for lenders to receive taxpayer money to end the recession, they will get billions of dollars and the thought is they will start issuing credit again. But my thinking is that the money should go to the people losing their homes to pay the mortgage, to help reset their debt. I mean think about it people lose their job or take pay cuts, the people who find new jobs get less pay, now how are they supposed to afford all that they have after that? They have car payments, mortgages, insurance plus a family and getting more credit does not help them, it will only make it worse.
The plan only seems to be aimed to help companies that made really bad choices, while Americans made bad choices but did not choose to get pay cuts or lose their job! The money should go to the people so they can start over not a greedy institution that choose to foreclose on a home instead of working with home owner and making them homeless. So I feel Americans are footing the bill of this bail out and in return will get no relief from it! It will not bring back in jobs, or earned money but like the commander and chief said there will be credit being issued again. So feel free to get more loans to put yourself in further debt in other words.

Back at it

I took some time off to attend my college and focus on that for awhile, I had some amazing school activity's to attend while their. One thing I noticed while attending these functions is the amount of activism, political agendas, and of course what is a college function without the military.
As you walk through rows of people pushing ideas, you wonder if this is all college is all about, it is almost like a bad role playing game. Are you playing the part of activist? Maybe a military recruit, or a normal person with mixed beliefs and feelings. Each role comes with many other options of sub categories, the numbers are endless just like the ideas people believe are right.
What ever happen to just going to college to study and not being forced to conform to one of the ideas? Even teachers use college to push an agenda and just like with the people at the functions if you happen to disagree with them you are put in a bad spot.
I'll have more on this later on when more time comes my way to write, I ask anyone who reads this to share their thoughts and ideas, or maybe an experience.

Return to normal?

The Last few years winters have been warm, sea ice was disappearing, and the global warming movement was in full swing. But this year, the winter was still mild for some but for others it was cold, cold enough for the sea ice to come back with a vengeance! But as always i must always state my view right or wrong! I think the earth has phases and as a result of weather, the axis, and alignments with the solar system, and even the earths functions like volcano's, some funky stuff happens here on earth, including warming and cooling.
I would also like to state this be it as it may, even if we are not the cause we should do what we can to reduce the human factor in these cycles, but i would not say spend a lot of your money in doing so, like i have seen people do recently due to the fear that Al Gore put into everyone. Instead i would say make a budgeted plan to reduce your foot print over the years.
But I'm always open to comments as long as the person giving them is open minded about the idea and not dead set with everyone spending their hard earned money to save humanity now.

The Observant American

Why America is the beacon of hope

The reason America is a superpower, the defender, the world’s police officer, is because the people in the country had made it clear that “no longer can a power sit idly by when another nation’s people are being hurt by their government”. The American people feel no one deserves this, regardless of their religion, color, or gender, the reason for this is because of the mixing pot that America is where everyone her in this nation descended her from somewhere else, even the native Americans came from Asia. The thing that makes this mixing pot work towards unity when it can easily divide is the fact that everyone here believes in the country and not there almost as much as there religion, but when you look at some countries they do not have any sense of their country, for instance the Middle East a persons country could be wiped of the face of the earth without the people in the country caring as long as their religion is there. But in America if someone tried to attack the nation the people in the country will die to save the nation.
Now you may be reading this and saying this has nothing to do with being the beacon of hope, but trust me it does for a few reasons. This is one of the only countries where a poor immigrant can be rich, one of the few countries where you are free to do almost anything you please within the law, and one of the few nations where you can be whatever religion you want you want without worrying about persecution. To show how far some immigrants will go to help and be part of this great nation, a good number of them join our armed forces to fight in wars that the nation believes in even though their home country of origin does not, and they joined the military on there own without being forced to, now does that show how we are the beacon of hope? No not all the way but it is a good start. I mean what else would you call it when an immigrant moves to our nation joins the military to fight in a war for our nation and sometimes die for it?

sadly time makes me have to keep this shorter then it needs to be so I'll be adding more in another post

I took a brief break and now I’ll be back updating the blog

The same god?

Ever stop to think that how much the three major religions have in common? Islam and Christianity both came from Judaism, in fact Christians believe that Jesus is god and Islam feels that god is separate from Jesus and that Jesus was a prophet. I always thought it was funny how the religions always fought each other in wars and in holy wars, even when you look at it and dig deep it is a really good possibility that if there is a god, that it can be the same god for all three?
Then there is people like me who believe that there is a god somewhere but god was never a mortal, that he made humans able to evolve, to think, to create sciences to act in gods stead, I mean god is god and must be busy creating life elsewhere that's how we evolved to become smart and just. Now where to people who think like that fit in? They believe in god but not in the ways of any religion, are we the ones that are going to burn for believing but in a different way?
I mean after all if you created life and had to create more wouldn't you make them smart enough to babysit themselves?

The warming is coming

Before you start blaming your neighbor that owns an SUV for global warming remember a few things. The earth changes climate every so often, it has highs and lows, Now carbon emissions does speed up things and maybe prolong it. But the fact is no matter what we do things change, look at the look at the big sandbox in Africa for instance, it used to be green and lush now it is just vast dunes and sands. It goes to show that in an age with no big carbon output the winds changed, currents moved, and the sand moved. I think it is a great idea to reduce your carbon foot print by planting trees to offset what you make in carbon emissions for the year, reducing the carbon you use also, but the fact remains that there will be new beach front property some places anyways.
As always I'm always listening to reactions about my comments but remember one thing, I do support global warming because i hate winter, but something needs to be done as to not make it worse.

Blog with me

I'm always interested in starting debates or talks between people, since some people only have one view of things and other people have many. If anyone wants to add a blog to the site (which means to post and have me and other view it and commit on it) feel free to send an e-mail to me via link, I'll look at it and if its not too offensive I'll post it.

Update

Send a comment and ask for my email to get your post added, to control spam i removed my email

Good Food

Alright I'm going to break from pointing things out and talk about something good, FOOD. I was browsing sites the other night and not only did i find a good comic strip(which i added to the blog so i can share with everyone) but also i found some good food sites. Now mind you a lot were vegan our vegetarian, which is alright if that's your cup of tea, me on the other hand i will eat and try almost everything the key word is ALMOST. I will stay away from the fungus, then there is insects, no need to say more, then finally tofu i tried it many times and each time was worse then the others. But that's only my taste, a taste is just like an opinion and a certain body part, everyone has one! I am always into salads and other veggie foods, fruit, meat, dairy so I'm always looking for ways to expand past my favorite type of dinner chicken Alfredo.
If anyone views this and knows good foods please share with me so i can try them organic, non-organic, vegan, vegetarian or not feel free to share.

The auto industry

With the auto industry laying off people and just cutting jobs for good, its a wonder why the housing market is gone, the economy is in trouble. But the best i seen is people following the fad of buying foreign cars complaining about it, then when you ask them why they brought the foreign car they did you get the same repeated answer "better quality". Well news for those people you do not get better quality from them, half the time they lie about fuel millage on cars they have even been sued over it, i seen more problems with a certain company car made in japan then i have with any Ford, GM, Chrysler cars. I feel when you buy foreign cars you cannot complain about the economy, since you are one of the main reasons it's off track in the first place.
But off course can't blame the foreign car buyers, you have to blame the workers who refuse to accept salary cuts. they are making twenty-three dollars an hour or more and refuse to drop it down. The magic bubble is busting it is just a matter on what else is going with it.

Crime

When The good ole days of America were happening, The only crime that was rampant was mob crime. Since the government has effectually reduced the power of the mob crime has become more and more prevalent. I feel the reason is due to the fact that the mob controlled people and prevented crime because it would cost them money from the heat of the law shutting down operations, money runs the world right? well with the mafia shut out street gangs started filling the void, drugs became more wide spread, gang violence has spread and innocents get hurt, there is no hierarchy everyone fights with each other.
When the mob was big fights would happen sure but they made sure that the innocent three year old in a house did not get killed by a drive by, they handle things quietly, and more over protected neighborhoods with out money being exchanged due to the fact it benefited them. Now all the people have protecting them is the law which does not have the control the mob did they have to follow rules, rights, and politics.
But hey i could be wrong give me a reason why i am!

Joe Francis raw deal

It just came to my attention that the creator of girls gone wild is in a lot of legal trouble that has been falsified. In this day and age we tend to think that the system can't screw us, well of course we were wrong. I will be the first to say the dirt bag should rot but the story got me thinking, if one man a rich and influential man can have his rights denied and spend time in jail on no legal charge just make a settlement or go to jail illegal charge, then how many not so rich people are sitting in jail for no reason, losing there god given rights and the ones created by man to protect the American people.
I feel as Americans we owe it to people to help protect their rights as a united states citizens. it can be done in many ways, blogging, writing congress Representatives. There are many ways to voice your views. help protect your rights pass along this message!. to view more about it check out his page http://www.meetjoefrancis.com/legalstory/

What the heck

why is it today people seem to think it is alright to constantly butt into other peoples life.It seems like it never ends, from non-smokers preaching to smokers about their air quality, how smoking causes cancer, how nasty it is to kiss a smoker.
Well i have news for ya chances are that a smoker knows that it may cause cancer, that your air quality is already bad from the SUV you drive and from companies piping pollutants into the air, chances are a smoker has already kissed a smoker and knows what it taste like. So i think it is safe to say that you can stop being broken records and repeating the same things about smoking.
Another thing i have seen people butt into is another person's kids. I once saw a mother spank a child after the child was running around a shopping center like a wild animal. Then an older fellow thought there was a need to butt in and scold the mother for spanking her kid, that's right i said her kid not his.But i bet when the older fellow was a young parent instead of just spanking their child with their hand, but also probably used an object like a belt, switch, wooden spoon. I'm sorry for all those spare the rod fanatics but i feel Kids some times deserve a smack. it's better that then having the kid run into an old lady and having the old lady get hurt, it is also better then the kid breaking something expensive and having the mother pay for it.
I think it is time for people to wake up and not interfere with other peoples lives without being asked to do so.
