This is the same old cr*p that the wine industry, booze industry, cigarette industry, and any of the other industries that are trying to make their product righteous do.  Let's all smoke pot, drink at least two glasses of wine a day, have a shot of whiskey and maybe eat a dozen apples and throw in a bunch of fish.  Goo...more

As long as she isn't walking down the aisle, who cares.  I don't want to see some dumb boob flying in the breeze and I don't want to see someone changing a stinky diaper in the open.  Or watch some stupid dude spit his tobacco into a coffee cup or pick their nose or brush their teeth.  It's pretty much a matter of comm...more

This is an example of what I was trying to say.  If someone says something about one of our pet projects, we go off on the whole thing.  Guns do kill people, and people kill people.  Why?   Do we really need a gun that holds 30 shells to kill a poor old bambi?  Or is this some misguided action flick people are trying t...more

I do take heart that some of these things are changing.  The vast majority of people on this planet have concern and care about it.  You don't hear about them too much, only the radicals and off kilter ones.  If asked, most would respond with some kind of positive action.   Education is the only answer to any problem, ...more

It is so funny that the supposed "top of the food chain" and the greatest species that we have elected ourselves to, cannot take the time to look around and take care of our surroundings.  It is like some teenage boy's room, it is a mess that they can't even see and don't want to learn how to see.  We have floods and d...more

You can't give away free money and expect everyone to respect what it is intended for.  There are too many low lifes out there that will take and take.  If you want to reform that and all the rest of the programs, require that the people getting it do some kind of exchange for the work.  When you don't require some exc...more

I don't think that people have really looked at this problem as something that has been caused by us and can be solved by us.    For one thing....  We enjoy all the advantages of the technogical advances, but don't bother to look at what they do to the economy.  When you replace all the workers on the assembly line ...more

I have looked this over from a lot of angles and have come up with this as a possible solution.   First- Make the tax that people (retirees) have to pay on that portion which is SSA (there is a minimum you can make and then you have to pay taxes).  Put that into the SSA tax accounts.   Next- Take the ceiling off of...more

I sympathize with you, but you just have to keep on keeping on.  The alternative is not to good.  There are a few outright evil people who are manipulating and messing up the world, but the vast majority of them are just like you and me and are basically good, but have no idea how to change the way things are going.  A...more
