"A SMALL RAY OF HOPE"

There seems to be a movement afoot to finally bring some legality and sanity to our election process. It is not a new idea but an idea who's time has come, given the the obvious fixing of the last two elections for president. ONE PERSON - ONE VOTE. That idea sends shutters up the spine of Republicans and Democrats alike. They don't want the voting public to really participate. They want to be able to control the system and the way it is set up now, they can. Our framers couldn't decide on which way to go on this question so they tossed it to the States to decide. The states got together and came up with a sort of pact that is the system that we have now. It is not a LAW nor is it written in the Constitution, so it CAN be changed, and at some point it will be. The current system is immensely flawed and can even border on illegal. The Framers never intended for a politically appointed Court to be the deciding factor or a relative of one of the candidates who is the reining governor to decide the outcome. A note here: They have found problems with the Florida voting machines (surprise) Seems there were votes already in the machines for GEORGE before the poles were even open and the machines turned on....Hmmmm. Anyway.....My belief is that our system needs a new make over. It was set up with the idea of flexibility and fine tuning and now is the time. Our TAX system is next! For your viewing pleasure here are a couple of sites for you to view and see how States with a vested interest can skew the outcome.

So what's your thoughts? Seems the Republico's have been silent lately and don't have an opinion, that's strange given their posturing in the past! Must be because of National Security Reasons and they don't want to anger China either!

"ANNIE GET YOUR GUN"

Well more of the same bull shit coming from His Majesty, more SECRET DEALS behind closed doors by the shadow government of the OIL barons. Frankly I am scared, as should all of you be. Your American form of government has been replaced by greedy self serving conglomerates that seem to feel that sending off to prison the person that exposes them more important than punishing the law breaker. Folks, open your eyes..... We have been invaded from within! George Bush had the elections fixed in his favor..... ( http://www.blackboxvoting.org) And if you don't think it can happen here, just ask a German that was living in the Motherland during the thirties! Hmmm.....all in the name of "The War On Terror" or the catch all..... "National Security".....Who's security?
This president and his GANG (The Republican Party and Big Money interest) have made a mockery of our Constitution and the freedoms that are provided from it. How many FREEDOMS are YOU willing to give up so you will feel FREE? It's Your Dime! What's Your Thoughts?

"THY BROTHERS KEEPER"

I have been sitting here, for the past many mornings, reading all the news or at least what some call news. Actually the line between real news, gossip, and carefully prepared statements attempting to masquerade as news has become so fuzzy one can hardly tell the difference any more. Also the major news outlets ( TV, newspapers, internet ) are no longer what you could in the wildest dream conscrew as independent, being that they are all big conglomerate corporations or their foster children with direct ties to the agenda of some political party. All that being said, I try to look between the lines in search of the real news.
My Blog today isn't about the Media so lets not get side tracked here. In my romp through the media maelstrom I ran across an interesting term that seems to say a lot about our current state of affairs, OWNERSHIP SOCIETY. That term probably has been around a while but since I don't get out much it was the first time I really paid much attention to it. That term speaks volumes as to where the current controllers would like to take us. It isn't any deep dark secret that the Republican Party and the current administration have an agenda that, to say the least, is about as far away from our American values as you can get -----depending on your point of view from the totem pole! But lets give their "AMERICA" a look see. We will use the "KISS" acronym " Keep It Simple Stupid " so we don't take all day. Simply stated an Ownership Society is one that shifts the burden from government to the individual. Elimination of ALL social programs and and safety nets that now exist. I think that Ownership Society and a Market Economy are synonymous. They want an America where there is no "THY BROTHERS KEEPER", as far as the government is concerned. You are on your own buddy!
Well of course they are in la-la land. Their perception of the purpose and function of an AMERICAN FORM of Government is up side down. We demand that our Government protect us from the big bad world. That's why we put them in office in the first place. Yes we want social programs, we want big business to pay their fair share of taxes, we want a government that helps keep jobs here, not one that pays company's to move out of the country, Yes we want openness and accountability of our elected officials, seems everything "WE THE PEOPLE" are for they are against!
So what do you think? Should we "Stay The Course" or should we try and take back our government?

"SO WHAT ELSE IS NEW?"

I have to comment on the latest uproar in the Muslim World. The Publishing of the picture of the Mohammad Cartoon. What's the BIG DEAL! In today's world any mention or depiction of Mohammad or Muslims by any medium, causes an uproar. They do not allow any freedom of expression, as we do in the Western World. But on the other hand they do allow degrading articles and pictures of Christins and the Jewish Faith or any other infidel belief. Hmmm.... Seems freedom of the press is only applicable when it serves their purpose. OK, here is how I see it. Most of those Countries are run by Madmen that use Religion for their own political gain. They utilize the zealots to stir up the masses in the name of Allah. You can feel sorry, to some extent for the average JOE or Mohammad, because they have been brainwashed from birth to follow blindly their Cleric. Remember their is no freedom of thought and certainly no freedom of the press.
Just a passing thought to consider.....Doesn't it make sense that GOD, ALLAH, Whoever, would have sent more than one emissary to spread the WORD? Seems to me that the WORD has not been heard yet!.....What do you think?
