..…About this election…Have my questions been answered? Lets see…Welfare? Is anyone going to fix the welfare system so if you are unemployed you can only get food if you are a citizen of this country. I mean, “Only food”, not cash, cigarettes and clothes? Are there going to be any rules about how long you can be in this country before its mandatory to become a citizen, say for example, 6 months. If you don’t become one and learn English you are deported back to where you came from. Has anyone talked about no more bailouts no matter who you are or who you know! If you are going out of business, you go out of business. That includes Wall Street or any of the major car companies or insurance companies. When these places are going out of business, believe me, it usually means the bonuses were too big or the money was stolen by the CEO’s. No bailouts means anybody and everybody! No bailouts for anyone! Has anyone mentioned punishment for corrupt politicians or those guilty of crimes while serving in the public trust or having a stiffer prison term in a real prison? There are signs on the side of the road, “Fines Doubled” for speeding in a work zone. For corrupt politicians when they take the oath of office it should say “Sentences Doubled” if caught betraying the public trust. Has anyone talked about bringing the troops home from anywhere and everywhere? Has anyone talked about the price of gas, now at $3.00 a gallon and going up? How about heating oil? Has anyone even mentioned that? I didn’t hear anything about terrorism in this country. We haven’t had any bombs go off in the Malls but the crime rate is out of control. There are mass murders everywhere. The question is, who doesn’t have a Swat team in their town or city and why do they have one? The Suicide rare is climbing, husbands are killing wives, children are killing children. Bullying is out of control and real anger is everywhere. Has anyone talked about drug abuse, smuggling drugs and the drug wars and death on our borders and in the cities in this country. Have they mentioned the thousands of sick young addicts that die and are dying as I write this? Have they talked about over population and highways jammed with cars. When was the last time anyone of these morons went to work in the morning rush hour? Hell, when was the last time they didn’t use the Limo or private jet should be the question? Do any of these fools know how much it really cost per week to feed a family of four or heat a 3 bedroom house? I don’t think so. Did they talk about how they make a 2 or 4 year job into a lifetime and retire with a full pension and full medical? Did they talk about the benefits of that job and their $3000 dollar suits? I don’t think so…What they talked about was each other and what they did and didn’t do. According to the commercials they are crooks and liar’s before they get to Washington! Its all denial and lies! It will never change. They are experts at giving answers without giving answers…No! They didn’t answer any of my questions and I didn't expect them to….

"AAA"
11/10/2010...My drill instructor used to say, actually yelled “The U.S. Army is about uniformity and discipline!” That’s how it began and I learned what that was and it stuck with me. In other words each man is the property of the U.S. government and will look the same and that means dress the same every day, unless of coarse you are told to do different. What I’m trying to say here is, sorry about the type size and color lately…As you know by now I like uniformity but sometimes I have to expedite and leave. I need to get the job done without all the perfection. Its like, always being on time…Lately I am arriving at places just a little late to break up the monotony of becoming predictable…I think I’m going through some kind of change. That happens once and a while and I can actually feel it…I still have the need apologize but that’s just me.
Yesterday morning I went to leave and the battery was dead in the Mustang..No panic and after looking it over, checking things out and some thought, I realized that I couldn’t have left anything on because in that car after a short period of time it would shut off automatically. I figured out that the battery had died. It had a 6 year life and with all the electronics in that car 6 years is a long time. It was then I called AAA. He came to my house in about 40 minutes…The guy put his electronic gizmos on the posts and sure enough it had a dead cell. 20 minutes and a Hundred and twenty dollars later I was the proud owner of a brand new battery with a 3 year full replacement guarantee. The best part is I didn’t get mad. I was glad that I had AAA insurance. As you know, I don’t name products, stores, or restaurants unless they are really good. Well, AAA in this area is great. They are fast, expensive yes but I didn’t feel like the price was that high considering he came to the house checked every thing out and installed the battery. Now I feel confident and having this type of protection is a absolute must…Thank you AAA…
“Code of Conduct”
I live my life by certain rules. Its more of a “Code of Conduct” than anything else. I said that to someone the other day and surprised myself. I started to think about it and this is what I came up with. I mean, I know that there are things I won’t do or lines I won’t cross. Its also knowing the consequences that prevents me from upsetting the apple cart.
1. I must realize that I can’t control the things that happen around me or the decisions that other people make.
2. I have to remember each day, that somewhere there is a God that will help me to NOT wonder why everything is happening, not only to me but to everyone else.
3. I must remember each day to let that God take care of me and the people around me but I cannot to stop caring about everyone.
4. Take a long look at myself and my behavior now and in the past and try not to repeat the negative things.
5. Discuss and tell the truth to someone or my God about my negative behavior.
6. I have the desire and the ability to let past discretions be forgiven and not to hold grudges.
7. I must have humility realizing that everything isn’t always about me.
8. If necessary make a list, on paper of people I have hurt or have been at fault for hurting.
9. I will apologize to the people that I have offended, not getting anyone angry while doing this. This could be complicated but it is possible.
10. Each day I must remember the things I have done and if I do anything to hurt someone voluntarily or involuntarily, immediately admit it and apologize.
11. I must work on these rules each day, not expecting things to change overnight.
12. Having discovered that by living by this code, I should be helping others with kindness and patience and living each day being tolerant with everyone.
"Thief"
The only good thing about this Charles Rangel thing in Washington is that he will be forever be known as just another crooked thief politician. His family will feel the shame of his greed and dishonesty. His legacy will be another poor example to the black people he represented and the blacks that fill the majority of the prisons we pay taxes for. He is in the category of, Oh! him he's just another crook like the rest of them. You would think because he's black he would be more vigilant and careful but no he's just like the rest the scum that’s locked up. Charlie just slipped through the cracks and blended in with the rest until he got caught. So instead of being a drug dealer he's worse! He’s a crooked public servant who betrayed the American people and cares only for himself, disregarding the people he serves. I have got to be careful how I use the word servant. I don’t want Charlie to say I’m picking on him because he’s black…
