If it's August, it must be Crawford . . .

If it’s August, it must be Crawford . . .

August has always been associated with heat . . . The last really hot days of summer. Americans have learned associate August as the time our President heads to Crawford for the month.

Today I realized something . . . We were upset when the Iraq Government was going to take a month off and low and behold . . . Georgie and the boys and girls of Congress are gone to parts unknown . . . And our sons and daughters are stuck in Iraq dying in unheard of heat.

I would like to tell them all . . . It’s coming fast and you can’t stop it. Heads will roll and it’s not going to matter what party you belong too. Our troops should be home . . . We should be rebuilding the south, rebuilding our ailing homeland. You coined the term, now let’s use it for good, not the bogus fear you’ve created.

Why would anyone want to be President?

I’m not sure . . . I always thought it was for the people, but now I know differently. And I’m leery of all of them. There are just too many things that need attention, that need solving for congress to run their show as business as usual. And that’s all their doing and nothing, worth anything is being done.

For example the bill that gave healthcare to several hundred thousand children . . . That’s all good and great, unless their parents get sick and can’t work. Who’s going to feed, house and care for the children? Now if you got several hundred thousand families healthcare, now there’s an accomplishment to be proud of. Forty some million Americans don’t have, can’t afford and need healthcare. Many will be forced to go bankrupt and it will destroy them.

Democrats settle to easily . . . They need to learn to fight, to be strong. And Congress needs to know they work for us, the American People.

Money vs Power . . .

Money vs. Power . . .

Money and Power aren’t always analogous. Sometimes they fight to the death. We think money can buy anything and it does, usually. Oh, except those things we value most . . . Love, respect, friendship . . . You may believe money can, but not real love, respect or friendship. Take away the money and everything disappears.

Isn’t power money? That’s what most people think, but that’s not always true . . . I’m thinking of Gandhi, Dali Lama and Martin Luther King. Power can be given to a cause, it can be taken and it can be taken away.

And sometimes the pursuit of one will lose the other . . . Today’s cable T.V. has sold the power to advertisers. CNN, MSNBC, FOX will pay a price . . . We the Viewers will get tired and then we’ll turn it off. The pursuit of money will cost in power, the power they use over us and that’s good for us.

My Prayers Go Out To Those In Need In Minnesota . .

My Prayers Go Out To Those In Need In Minnesota . . .

A bridge too far has a tragic entry into the history books . . . And I’m sure it’s going to sound familiar as it did with Katrina . . . We hadn’t listened then, and we probably didn’t now either.

I wonder if Iraq had never happened would we have fixed what needed fixing . . . I bet no.

There are so many things that we have grown dependant on and have failed to rebuild . . . And were more concerned with HDTV than healthcare in our nation.

Dollars only go so far and were adding too many public projects to meager coffers, thinking I don’t know what . . . As if the money is an endless stream. But it’s finite, there is a point adding just one more will break any system.

The power grid for one needs updating, the rail system, highways and byways. And we don’t have any bullet trains, schools need maintenance. And still we build more. We build huge libraries and have to ask for money for books in a referendum.

And still people go hunger in our great democracy. Our people are turned away from medical services without any insurance, college is only for the affluent, and retirement becomes a soup kitchen or a food pantry on a fixed income.

And we say, we don’t want to give handouts . . . But is the money being spent wisely? And everyday we hear of the corruption in Washington, the last Republican Ted Stevens . . . Didn’t he get money for a bridge to no where? And before that the Democratic Leader in the senate, he was involved in a somewhat fishy land deal. Whatever happened to that?

And then we have the administration and their cronies and the missing billions in Iraq . . . When are we going to tell them enough?

And we just might have a problem brewing . . .

And we just might have a problem brewing?

When does might make right? Never . . .

A security firm is growing, growing strong. . . So you would say.

They train paramilitary personnel and have a force over 25000 . . . They are securing Iraq.

The Chicago Tribune reported to have linked the University of Illinois director of police-training institute to them. They train in North Carolina and have opened a training facility in Mount Carroll, Illinois.

They wear black . . . Black uniforms, black helicopters with all the modern high tech toys . . . Just black.

The SS wore black . . . How powerful will they have to get . . .

And we just might have a problem brewing?

Is It Worth It . . .

Is it worth it . . .

I wonder . . . Is all the effort is worth it?

An athlete works all his life for a chance to make the big time. So few do and so few make the big money and yet so many have given so much . . . Fought so hard, just to have it taken from them by being them selves . . .

They never asked to be worshiped. They never said they were better than anyone else. It reminds me of Julius Cesar . . . Secretly Julius wants to be King, and when they ask he has to turn it down, because someone that wants to be King has to think he is better than everyone else, doesn’t he?

There’s the rub . . . Fame, Riches, Power and Beheading . . . The NFL, Atlanta Falcons fed Michael Vick to the wolves, the media storm and they are going to destroy him . . . Regardless of innocence or not?

Hero Worship Gone Astray . . .

Hero Worship Gone Astray . . .

Today CNN interviewed a teenage girl . . . They asked her if she felt cheated because her hero had let her down?

We are so quick to judge . . . I’m not defending Michael Vick . . . I don’t care about that. I’m more concerned that we put these people on such a high pedestal for playing sports, being President, being in the movies . . . Never once does anyone put someone up there because they are a good person.

And then we expect them to be good people . . . So many had to sacrifice that just to survive the battle that got them there in the first place. That’s irony . . . Like worshiping a soldier, a combat pilot and then finding out he killed thousands . . .

Parents have to mold their child’s view of life, not add fuel to the flames. Maybe we expect too much of a hero, maybe a favorite musician is just that . . . Good at what they do.

Now my heroes don’t play sports, they aren’t in politics, don’t have all the money in the world, but they have given of themselves, sacrificed something for the better of mankind. And even with all I know about them, they can just as easily fall from grace because of some unknown scandal . . .

But I hold them above everyone because of an action, not because of all the other little nothings. They were people, first and people aren’t perfect . . . People like Gandhi, Abe Lincoln, Ben Franklin, Martin Luther King, and some pretty great writers.

And so we judge . . . And someday we’ll be judged.

Choose Your Own Heroes . . .

Choose Your Own Heroes . . .

Just because someone does great things, is not reason enough to make them your hero, is it? I wonder . . .

Athletes never asked to be our heroes. Teams buy the best players, because we like our teams to win. And not unlike you, players work for the team that pays them the most . . .

And we watch them work and when our team wins, we worship them and those that excel. They become our heroes. Not because they saved a life, not because they were good people, but because they played a game we loved well.

So let me ask you this, did you lie on your resume to get your job? Did you tell a few fibs on your taxes? Did you act on a tip that maybe wasn’t as ethical as . . .

All of us are heroes. If we hold one accountable, all of us should be held to the same standard. Our children will become what they see in us. If you lie, they’ll lie. If you cheat, they’ll cheat. And if you kill, chances are they will too.

Athletes are human too . . . They make mistakes. We may not like that, but we need to accept the fact. Most recent fallen hero, Michael Vick, quarterback of the Atlanta Falcons . . . Maybe ex-quarterback?

One mistake and you’re out . . . Our society has fallen, we no longer wait for the trial before convicting, the media makes sure we do it as quickly as they push us to do it. Once we hung criminals the same day as the offense, once we tarred and feathered those that showed their immoral side.

My Little Experiment . . .

My Little Experiment . . . A Constant Reminder

So far I just have two comments on my quest to build Friends Around The World . . . Each day I will post the list and share my experience.

Friends Around The World . . .
Waukesha, Wisconsin
Plano, Texas


Today I Start a Journey

Today, I start a journey,
somewhere between birth and
death,

Sitting, analyzing, wondering,
what makes a man
remembered?

Is it, his frailty,
his pride or just his
naivete?

Today, I remove the worn
planks of decking, exchanging them, for
concrete,

For those I have touched, have I given them
a strength or a weakness, to be ground away by time?

What if . . .

What if . . .

What if everyone stopped a moment to say hi? What if everyone for one small second realized that we have more in common than we think? What if war was a thing of the past?

Today is the second day . . . In this little project.

It’s the second day I am gathering comments. Trying to see how many and how far I can reach . . . Everyone is welcome . . . Just stop and say Hi. Leave your city, state and country. And I will make a list . . . And each day, I will try to post that list . . .

So Far . . .
Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA . . . Me
Plano, Texas, USA

Tell your family, friends, anyone everyone . . . Let’s just see where this can go and maybe friendship is the answer . . .

It's a small world . . .

It’s a small world . . .

Rambling as I do, I was wondering what is the interests common to the world? Globalization is making us learn about each other. Hopefully we are starting to see our goodness.

The internet is the closest thing to travel that most of us will ever be able to do. To be able to converse with someone in all seven continents in minutes . . . Mind boggling.

Let’s try a little experiment . . . Let’s see how many people and how many countries will see this message . . . Leave a comment from a around the world or pass it on in an email or write the message on your blog . . . Just keep the message moving . . . Just say hi from whatever country you live in, state, city, etc.

Love, peace and beyond.

The Brave Few . . . July 18, 2007

The Brave Few . . . July 18, 2007

Happy Birthday Sue . . .



Today marks the pinnacle of the Iraq War. For the first time the Senate is really thinking . . . There are two sides and both sides make sound arguments. But the truth is sometimes hard to find . . . The war isn’t, hasn’t, and may never go the way they want. And yet we’re afraid to do what we will eventually have to do . . . A parent does this the first time they give the keys to the car to their child. Now we wonder if it’s the right time.

No one knows until they hand the keys over. And there will be scrapes along the way and they’ll be their scrapes. But in the end know that our soldiers have done all we asked them to do . . . Now a choice must be made, to leave to fight another day or . . .

This choice needs our attention. It’s simply not fair to our soldiers to keep sending them back time after time in an endless loop. If we stay we need to bring back conscription . . . I hate the draft, I hate war . . . But it’s the right thing to do.

I wish we would have thrown the bums out long ago, before Iraq. They knew of the lies and weren’t willing to standup against them. If I suspected them to be lies, they must have too. They know more about what’s going on then I do, don’t you think?

Now it won’t matter which side you take the outcome is still going to be the same. War is only death and dying . . . War is hell.

Today For The First Time . . .

Today For The First Time . . .

Today for the first time someone on TV said they weren’t around for the end of Vietnam . . . If that’s a case for staying in Iraq, it’s a poor case. I remember . . . The departure was quick. Equipment of all sizes and price was dumped off ships, jeeps, tanks, helicopters were splashed into the ocean.

Maybe not a great statement but maybe why we went into Iraq in the first place . . . The youth of America, never lived through the horror of Vietnam. I’m talking about the nightly body counts, Mai Lai massacre, tet Offensive, carpet bombing, the draft, campus riots and the like . . . They don’t remember, the rape, pillage and burnings. They don’t know the pain of war . . . And we judge those that do, why?

I believe the bar stories to be true, though not many are talking.

If a Viet Cong didn’t talk, they said he jumped out of a Huey, 3000 feet free fall. And fragged or friendly fire was not something to be sought . . . If it happened to you and you lived, you quickly had an attitude shift. Maybe you never received those orders after all. A quart of the Jack or any other means to forget, that’s war.

No I was never there, but I believe the stories . . . There were just too many to discredit. Atrocities . . . Someone told me he was one of 450 Special Forces dropped into Cambodia, that’s when Nixon said we weren’t there. Anyway, his brother went with him. He said, without my brother, I wouldn’t be here. He claimed the fighting was hand to hand all the way. Both made it back, just two of a mere 150 remaining men.

Then there is the story of the medics that were separated from their squad. When they found them they were still alive, begging to die . . . Later that night the squad went out on a little avenge hike. They rigged claymores along a trail and waited . . . They didn’t have to wait long.

I’m against war, I will always be against war . . . War is never righteous, war is just death and dying. We weren’t proud of Vietnam, we won’t be proud of Iraq.

And next time, maybe the draft would keep war out of politics? If your kid was the first to go, would you vote for war?

Would You Like To Be The Last . . .

Would You Like To Be The Last . . .

How would you like to be that one, the last to die in Iraq?

One more year, one more week, one more minute is too much; just another wall to leave our sorrows by, another meaningless conflict to add to our list of sins. All wars end and the occupiers pay the price for an infrastructure that has been smashed . . . When will we ever learn?

Maybe it’s because of our youth, their gun-ho inexperience or maybe we just hate too much? Can anyone tell me why? Why did we go to war in Iraq?

Congress wants us to think they were not given the right information . . . I thought it was contrived, why didn’t they? They knew more than I . . . I’ll tell you. Simply because they did what they thought we wanted, we wanted to go to war and they did.

But truthfully, I fought everyway I knew how, not too. And when we did, I cried . . . For in war there are no victors, only death and dying.

And now I wish we only had the guts to truthfully analyze what went wrong and fix it . . . But that requires admission of guilt and that’s not ever going to happen.

So next time I’ll be against the war and someone will have to be the last to die for some meaningless cause . . .

Did Anyone Watch Live Earth . . .

Did Anyone Watch Live Earth?

Did anyone watch Live Earth? I didn’t. It was just such a gorgeous day and so . . . But truthfully, I should have.

We all should have, we need something to bring us together as a people, a world. Wars divide. Leaders have the ability to unite, though they only use that tool if their own agenda intertwines others values. Mostly they divide. When are we going to figure out that our leaders work for us . . . Throw those bums out.

Not one leader has ever suggested giving the people a survey to determine his agenda. Why?

Why can’t the congress give us control to tell them what we want them working on?

Things like;

+Stopping the war . . . If it were up to me, we never would have started one.
 
+Health Care . . . Every American should have it, same one your Gov. has.

+College for everyone . . . Invest in your assets and watch them prosper.

+Everyone gets six weeks vacation . . . Again taking care of your assets.

+Care for the Elderly . . . No one goes hungry, no one should have to live on the street. Invest in helping people become healthy, productive Americans . . . Move them from the streets to places to help them reenter society.

War, selfishness is not our American values . . . Freedom, a better place to live, to grow and cherish, the American Dream . . .
