" TO BE OR NOT TO BE - A CITIZEN? "

To start out your week and get those thinkin juices a workin, I thought a question that has been bothering me ever since this ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION ISSUE has come to light. The main thrust of the issue is "Why should someone become a citizen JUST because they are Born here?" I was surprised to learn that not only does this apply to the fifty states but also to our territories as well. What is the rational behind "ius soli?" Shouldn't Citizenship be based on "ius Sanguinis" instead? (I learnt me a some new words today) Anyway, I don't think it is right because it only encourages ILLEGAL Immigration for the sake of circumventing the law. I am not talking those born of legal immigrants wanting to become citizens and going through the process of naturalizing. What's your opinion? It's Your Dime?

" COMPACT WITH AMERICA "

So much news today that it is boggling the mind. Unfortunately, as per usual, it is all bad! So today I have decided to start a Revolution! That is my right under the all the articles and doctrines we live under. I am not going to recognize the "CONTRACT WITH (corporate) AMERICA" anymore and consider that document belonging to a terrorist organisation. Their sole purpose is to enslave the working people of this country for their personal monetary gain. I am replacing it with my "COMPACT WITH AMERICA". Under my new America the "PEOPLE" are the prime purpose of the Government. You may even call it a bit radical and even a bit socialistic, but I believe the government should be an instrument by which the masses benefit not just a few. So I have loaded my "BIC auto ink feed - 1984 model" and started to go hunting those politicos who would enslave us to the corporations. Wish me luck and you are welcome to join me.

On a happier note I have also found numerous places for us to site our new windmill farm, that will take the Town of North Adams off the grid and even make a few bucks extra for some nice municipal projects down town for the enjoyment of the town folk. Which mountain would you prefer?

" AS THE WORLD TURNES "

No this isn't about the TV Soap Opera ,that has been on TV from before there was TV. It is just some reflections of our state of affairs in which we find ourselves. Lets see if I can keep it civilized and not laps into anger and spewage of the irate kind.
The general consensus is that our System is busted all to hell.....I think we all have to agree on that point. The Democrats want to have a sort of Socialistic, "Just give us your money and do what we tell you" - " You don't need Guns, knives, or sharp spoons" - "Trust us, we know what is good for you", System. The Republicans want to let Corporations run our Government, without the hindrance of laws or rules or any type of oversight, "Do what we tell you or we will fire you and send you to a third world country for reindoctorinaction". Remember the famous - " Contract With (corporate) America"?
Doesn't it bother anyone that all the things that made us a great place to live are now gone? Outsourced and moved away, with the help of your servants to boot!
So I have decided to sit back (I seem to have no other choice) and watch as history repeats itself. Just sit here and watch the whole thing implode in on itself. But mark my words, the PEOPLE will stand only so much and I will guarantee there is going to be a another revolution. An uprising that will finish off whatever vestiges are left of a coherent society. We will be thrown back into a truly third world country.
