What Is Great About Twitter

I realize and understand why many people are not familiar or comfortable about twitter. It's foreign, nothing makes any sense and no one seems connected in a way you see on facebook.

Let me tell you, it's not simple to those of you who are new or are too busy to understand the potential value and advantages if you should decide to give it a chance.

Facebook allows you to connect to people you already know, used to know, know your family and by chance, are willing to get to know you without these benefits because of common friends and interests. Once these connections are made, they can be quite fulfilling and lasting. But....that is as far as you will go. The conversations/interactions will always remain private among just you and them, and that can be a blessing in many cases, but not always. If you are going to talk about private issues and want to remain safe, this is where you should stay.

Twitter isn't about that. It is like a ride all you want bracelet around the world. You don't need to request to follow and fall in awe/love with a person. It's all free....free for the taking and if you don't like it, unfollow and no one cares.

So what is the difference here? What if you want to expand out of your sheltered world? What if you are trying to build a business outside of your immediate circle. What if you or a friend's child went missing and you want to get maximum exposure of possible tips? What about when natural disaster strikes and you want to reach out to the other side of earth to see if people are okay? Here is where twitter can save you and be your best tool ever in times of crisis.

Tweets are public, so don't say anything you don't want the world to see. What you want the world to know you can say it OUT LOUD at no cost and it is entered forever into the Library of Congress. Scared? Go back to facebook. Twitter is powerful and permanent. Use your common sense and reap the awards. If there is a law that should or should not be passed, all you have to do is tweet your Congress. Face it, calls are a pain, as are sending faxes or emails. The huge advantage is not only how simply easy a tweet is to voice your opinion, but the fact that a copy is sent out to anyone across the globe that might do a hash tag search (aka #guncontrol).

My nicest friends, CEO's of missing children, Child Protectors from Online Predators, Can You Identify Me (John and Jane Does found murdered) actors, actresses, musicians,advocates, politicians, authors, athletes, models and just awesome people pretty much I encountered from twitter. So to you doubtful s, you have no idea what you are missing. I followed Ultimate Ears and won. They sent me a direct message asking for my address. I skeptically complied. Within a few days I received a $300 pair of ear phones that blew my mind. Two years later the connection was shot. I unwittingly tweeted how heartbroken I was, ready to put it to rest. UE surprisingly saw my tweet and told me to call their 800 #. I called and what do you know, they sent me a brand new pair, even better within a couple of days. Wow! Anything you tweet cannot be hidden or ignored. Companies want and have to keep you pleased. Smart people take advantage of this.

For centuries, the deaf have felt stupid and incapable. Times have evolved giving us more equality, which is FANTASTIC, but.....we still feel ignored. When Netflix refused to caption their movies/videos twitter finally gave us a voice. The overwhelming outcry of being shut out was finally heard. Commercials that don't bother to caption are finally realizing how many of us are out there, which is up to ten percent of the population. Think about it, if you are advertising, why would you ignore 10% of your market share? Stupid by all means but they just never knew. Emails and TDD/Video Phone (VP) were mostly ignored. Twitter has changed all that and the deaf are pleased to be acknowledged. And hey, what seems like us whining, is really a compliment, we want to hear every beat, every lyric of your beautiful art. If you are so kind to make small accommodations, we will contribute ten folds back by not only being loyal fans for life, but have the ability to enhance your world in return. Give it a chance, Karma is a good thing!

Another surprise is how fun it is to watch a TV show via Twitter. If I am away when my favorite football team or series is on, I just type #jets or #bachelor and read what everyone in the world is saying. I can honestly say I have never laughed so hard or thought I could enjoy anything more. People say the funniest things and gives me such wider sense of humor and awareness. My goodness, I just love all different people and many different ways to see the joy in entertainment.

It is fun to see some of the followers I have/had now. Starting with Jose Canseco, his agent, the former Governator, Amy Grant, and my personal favorite, Romany Malco (black dude in 40 yo Virgin, Weeds etc), who not only took the time to mail me a DVD about "Food for Life" but interacts and compliments his fans with such gratitude. He is really one of us, and for that, I thank Twitter.

Not all celebrities are likable once you can see what is below the surface. It is also fun to get responses or retweets from people like Marlee Matlin, Maria Shriver, Harlan Coben, Jason Alexander and a quite a few more just based on my comments. Just maybe the statement of the deaf being impossible to educate or contribute to society really are wrong? We have a voice that can and will be heard, no matter what used to hold us back, deafness or any other oppressed minority: the world finally is at our very fingertips, indeed.

Dream Big, Always and Forever,

Cool Breeze

Written by Chris Haulmark: This is for those people who feel so alone. It's been a bout of hot days here in Arkansas. Yes, it's awfully hot and been like that for my whole life every summer. It's been like that for many more years before me and you. Hey, you know what makes me feel good on a hot day? A cool breeze. But you see - a cool breeze comes whenever it chooses to. It does not follow a schedule at all. It cannot be created. Oh I know, you are thinking about those blowing fans but a cool breeze always wins with the element of surprise. Again, you cannot always predict the coming of the cool breeze. There is no specific reason or the way to cause it. When I feel hot and tired after doing some labor in the hot sun, I can only stand up and wait. I do not deserve it. I cannot even earn the cold breeze. It just comes when it is time. But when it does come, I am to enjoy it. I am to allow my life to happen. You should too. You want to stop feeling lonely? Yes, you can do that. I have done it. It is possible. But there is no way, none, zero, no way at all ever to stop feeling the bad parts without also stopping feeling the amazings. You will not get to choose that because it cannot be done. If you try to numb the bad, you will numb the glorious. Have there ever been a time that you ever met a girl you thought was pretty nice, but you just didn't feel that way about her? I don't think you can just switch it on for you to love her, whoever she was. You could decide to think of her as beneficent as you can but you can't feel what you don't feel. And neither can she. The love that you should feel is the cool breeze. You can't decide whether to feel that way, all you can do is decide what to do about it if you do feel that way. You are saying that you know you will probably never find someone for you. To have that final answer, to stop enduring the misery of hope. You are so sure. Yes, it is nice to be sure. It is nice to have that loneliness out of the way and not have to wonder and hope, dream and want, need and yearn. Yearn! What a word. But there it is. Yearning. It is a goddamn sonnet but that is the word for it. You don't know a goddamn thing. You have not felt what I had felt before. I am sorry, but the bad news is you probably will find someone. You can try being as dreadful as possible and some girl might like you anyhow. Those people are crazy like that. Stop trying to be sure, and learn to endure uncertainty. Do you remember the times when you would ride rollercoasters during first times at various of theme parks? Why were they so amazing and fun to ride? Unpredictiability was the reason what stirred up the excitement inside you. But you are trying to be so sure about your future being a lonely life. It is like you are riding a flat rollercoaster. Whee. It is fun? No I don't think so. But you see the bad news is that you have hope. Hope is the rope that keeps you tied in knots and the torture never stops. Even when you find her, and she likes you and she can't help it and she gets all silly and wants to have your babies and everything, you will still have to hope. It will never ever end. You will hope every day she still loves you. You will hope she isn't bored with you. You will hope the tests come back negative. You will hope she forgives you. It never, ever ends. Well, until you are dead, and there is time enough for that later I assure you. There is no solution to hope and uncertainty. All you can do is be who you are and hope like hell. You are not a strategy. You are not an attempt. You are you. I still hoped. And I never stopped. Failure has no meaning, as I am not attempting to succeed. I am that I am. Who I am does not depend on circumstance or events. I hope, I want, I dream. No matter what, I damn well hope. If I fall from the 87th floor of a building I will hope on the way down. If I am hurt, am disappointed, am ashamed and miserable and alone; I will never give up hope. That pain is mine, and I welcome it. I will yearn. I wish you many cool breezes.

We Can Do It Together

Written by Author Craig Murray: Watching a medical program on TV about some poor miserable bugger in Indonesia who is tortured by his skin which has completely bubbled up. He looks as if a million marbles are hidden beneath his skin. In steps America the Noble, America the great. Brilliant doctors and nurses, great medical facilities This is what made America great, the greatest, the noblest nation ever to grace this poor benighted planet. Whether you look back at the Marshall Plan with American fighter and bomber pilots flying massive amounts of food to those trapped and imprisoned by the Soviets. In the countless men and women on the front line or at home who put down their weapons and turned to rebuilding a shattered Europe and Asia. It is the compassion, the understanding, the willingness to do what is right, the "We Can Do It Together" attitude. It was watching hundreds of millions of people pulling together not for their own benefit but for the benefit of their nation and the world at large. This is America's true greatness. Rome's greatest power was not her military, it was not her conquering heroes. it was their ability to build. A Roman Legion moved into an area and got to work. Within a day was a defensive line, soon followed a wall, a gate, and then the all important trading post. These posts became centres for trade, they became villages, cities, culture. America's great power was not her ability to kill or control or be religious bigots and zealots. The great power always lay in her compassion, her ability to build, her drive to be free. These things I see you surrendering, throwing away. Zealots and bigots, insane greed, corruption and nationalised plundering. These are the antithesis of all you were, all you truly are, all you should be. I do not know what will happen to the poor diseased man and I do not know what will happen to the disease that plagues this great nation. All I can do is hope that the same dedication, the same nobility, the same genius will save both.

Without Compromise We All Lose

I used to take solace in the thought that moderates of both major parties, as well as middle-of-the-road independents like me, actually were the power in this country. That we determined who became president, congressmen, senators, governors, etc. and set the direction the country should take. There was a time, at least I believe, when that was true and things actually got done; where even if we d...isagreed we recognized that we were part of a whole and that compromise and a genuine desire to do what was right kept the ship of state on a reasonably steady course. But anymore it is the extremes of either party that are in control and dictate policy--not for the good of the whole, but to stay in power and try to force everyone else to their narrow worldviews. There is no compromise because it would mean giving a little to the other side, and so nothing gets done. Each side casts the other as evil or monstrous, fascists or socialists--much like we do when at war with someone, depicting them as less than human so that it makes it easier to kill them. And so there can be no meeting in the middle for how do you compromise with someone you view not as a fellow countryman with whom you disagree, but "the enemy." There are good, valid, sometimes (though not always) even relatively easy answers to the major questions that confront us, to immigration and health reform, to the economy, to what to do about climate change and entitlement programs. But the extremists (and those who pay to have them remain extreme) have led us to believe that the only answers are their answers, and so nothing gets done and we sink slowly into the muck of yet another great civilization that had the answers in front of them for the taking, but chose to sink rather than work together to stay afloat. As Pogo once said, "We have met the enemy, and he is us."

Sibel Edmonds Finally Wins!

It's been a long time since I hectored folks about Sibel Edmonds, who's one of my heroes. I wouldn't say she's "won" yet but her book looks promising. There's also a documentary from a couple years ago: Kill The Messenger - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BUG1Y9fOOs -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- a review of her book: http://warisacrime.org/content/sibel-edmonds-finally-wins Sibel Edmonds Finally Wins By davidswanson - Posted on 30 April 2012 Sibel Edmonds' new book, "Classified Woman," is like an FBI file on the FBI, only without the incompetence. The experiences she recounts resemble K.'s trip to the castle, as told by Franz Kafka, only without the pleasantness and humanity. I've read a million reviews of nonfiction books about our government that referred to them as "page-turners" and "gripping dramas," but I had never read a book that actually fit that description until now. The F.B.I., the Justice Department, the White House, the Congress, the courts, the media, and the nonprofit industrial complex put Sibel Edmonds through hell. This book is her triumph over it all, and part of her contribution toward fixing the problems she uncovered and lived through. Edmonds took a job as a translator at the FBI shortly after 9-11. She considered it her duty. Her goal was to prevent any more terrorist attacks. That's where her thinking was at the time, although it has now changed dramatically. It's rarely the people who sign up for a paycheck and healthcare who end up resisting or blowing a whistle. Edmonds found at the FBI translation unit almost entirely two types of people. The first group was corrupt sociopaths, foreign spies, cheats and schemers indifferent to or working against U.S. national security. The second group was fearful bureaucrats unwilling to make waves. The ordinary competent person with good intentions who risks their job to "say something if you see something" is the rarest commodity. Hence the elite category that Edmonds found herself almost alone in: whistleblowers. Reams of documents and audio files from before 9-11 had never been translated. Many more had never been competently or honestly translated. One afternoon in October 2001, Edmonds was asked to translate verbatim an audio file from July 2001 that had only been translated in summary form. She discovered that it contained a discussion of skyscraper construction, and in a section from September 12th a celebration of a successful mission. There was also discussion of possible future attacks. Edmonds was eager to inform the agents involved, but her supervisor Mike Feghali immediately put a halt to the project. Two other translators, Behrooz Sarshar and Amin (no last name given), told Edmonds this was typical. They told her about an Iranian informant, a former head of SAVAK, the Iranian "intelligence" agency, who had been hired by the FBI in the early 1990s. He had warned these two interpreters in person in April 2001 of Osama bin Laden planning attacks on U.S. cities with airplanes, and had warned that some of the plotters were already in the United States. Sarshar and Amin had submitted a report marked VERY URGENT to Special Agent in Charge Thomas Frields, to no apparent effect. In the end of June they'd again met with the same informant and interpreted for FBI agents meeting with him. He'd emphatically warned that the attack would come within the next two months and urged them to tell the White House and the CIA. But the FBI agents, when pressed on this, told their interpreters that Frields was obliged to report everything, so the White House and other agencies no doubt already knew. One has to wonder what U.S. public opinion would make of an Iranian having tried to prevent 9-11. Next, a French translator named Mariana informed Edmonds that in late June 2001, French intelligence had contacted the FBI with a warning of the upcoming attacks by airplanes. The French even provided names of suspects. The translator had been sent to France, and believed her report had made it to both FBI headquarters and the White House. Edmonds translated other materials that involved the selling of U.S. nuclear information to foreigners and spotted a connection to a previous case involving the purchase of such information. The FBI, under pressure from the State Department, Edmonds writes, prevented her from notifying the FBI field offices involved. Edmonds has testified in a court deposition, naming as part of a broad criminal conspiracy Representatives Dennis Hastert, Dan Burton, Roy Blunt, Bob Livingston, Stephen Solarz, and Tom Lantos, and the following high-ranking U.S. government officials: Douglas Feith, Paul Wolfowitz, and Marc Grossman. When Edmonds was hired, she was the only fully qualified Turkish translator, and this remained the case. In November 2001, a woman named Melek Can Dickerson (referred to as "Jan") was hired. She did not score well on the English proficiency test, and so was not qualified to sign off on translations, as Edmonds was. Melek's husband Doug Dickerson worked for the Defense Intelligence Agency under the procurement logistics division at the Pentagon dealing with Turkey and Central Asia, and for the Office of Special Plans overseeing Central Asian policy. This couple attempted to recruit Edmonds and her husband into the American Turkish Council and the Assembly of Turkish American Associations, offering large financial benefits. But these were organizations that the FBI was monitoring. Edmonds reported the Dickersons' proposal to Feghali, who dismissed it. Then Edmonds discovered that Jan Dickerson had been forging her (Edmonds') signature on translations, with Feghali's approval. Then Edmonds' colleagues told her about Jan taking files out of other translators' desks and carrying them out of the building. Dickerson attempted to control the translation of all material from particular individuals. Dennis Saccher, who was above Feghali, discovered that Jan was marking every communication from one important person as being not important for translation. Saccher attempted to address the matter but was shut down by Feghali, by another supervisor named Stephanie Bryan, and by the head of "counterintelligence" for the FBI who said that the Pentagon, White House, State Department, and Congress would not allow an investigation. Had Edmonds understood the truth of that statement, it might have saved her years of frustration and stress, but it would have denied us the bulk of the revelations in her book. Dickerson threatened Edmonds' life and those of her family. Edmonds lost her job, her reputation, her friends, and contact with most of her family members. She watched Congress cave in to the President. She watched the government protect the Dickersons by allowing them to flee the country. She listened to Congressman Henry Waxman and others in 2005 and 2006 promise a full investigation if the Democrats won a majority, a promise that was immediately broken when the Democrats took control of Congress in 2007. Edmonds was smeared in the media, and her story widely ignored when media outlets got parts of it right. The Justice Department claimed "States Secrets" and maneuvered for a cooperative judge (Reggie Walton) to have cases filed by Edmonds dismissed. The government classified as secret all materials related to Edmonds' case including what was already public. The Justice Department issued a gag order to the entire Congress. And Congress bent over and shouted "Thank you, sir, may I have another?" As less confrontational approaches failed, Edmonds became increasingly an activist and an independent media participant and creator. Her story and others she was familiar with were rejected and avoided by the 9-11 Commission. She worked with angry 9-11 widows and with other whistleblowers to expose the failures of that commission. Disgusted with whistleblower support groups that only offered to help her when she was in the news and never when she needed help most desperately, Edmonds started her own group, made up of whistleblowers, called the National Security Whistleblowers Coalition. She started her own website called Boiling Frogs Post. When an unclassified version of a report on Edmonds' case by the Justice Department's Inspector General was finally released, it vindicated her. Edmonds has received awards and recognition. Her story has been supported (with rhetoric, not action) by Congress members and backed up by journalists. It appears in this forthcoming film. Coleen Rowley, another FBI whistleblower, one who was honored as a Time magazine person of the year along with two others, told me: "What I find so remarkable is Sibel's persistence in trying every avenue and possible outlet in trying to get the truth out. When going up the chain of command in the executive branch and Inspector General internal mechanisms for investigating fraud, waste, and abuse went nowhere, she sought judicial remedy by filing lawsuits only to be improperly gagged by 'state secrecy privilege'. Along the way she also sought congressional assistance, testified to the 9-11 Commission, and engaged with various media and other non-governmental organizations. It's somewhat ironic that Sibel herself demonstrated such enormous energy and passion throughout this decade quite the opposite of the 'boiling frog' idiom she uses for her website as a warning to others. If her book can inspire readers to summon even 1/100th of the determination and resolve she has modeled, there's hope for us!" Yet, thus far, no branch of our government has lifted its little finger to fix the problem of secrecy and the corruption it breeds, which Edmonds argues has grown far worse under President Obama. That's why this book should be spread far and wide, and read aloud to our misrepresentatives in Congress if necessary. This book is a masterpiece that reveals both the details and the broader pattern of corruption and unaccountability in Washington, D.C. Edmonds has not exposed bad apples, but a rotten barrel of toxic waste that will sooner or later infect us all -- not just the whistleblowers like Sibel and the thousands of people in our government who see something and dare not say something for fear that we will not have their back. Let's have their back. =================================================

Things to Think About before you Vote 2012

It is safe to say that we've all heard the phrase, “Those that don't remember the past are doomed to repeat it.” I'm talking about the upcoming election cycle, but probably not in the context in which you might be thinking. Does everyone remember how Adolph Hitler came to power? For those of you not alive during that time in history, Germany had been stripped of her wealth and ability coming out of World War I. Germany was forced to pay war reparations on the basis of, ‘to the victors go the spoils.’ Germany was in the middle of a great political struggle between a myriad of factions. And the world was heading into The Great Depression.



You may hold the opinion that there is nothing of that era that is even remotely close to things as they are today. I would like to differ with that view. An entire people had been stripped of their national identity and forced into abject poverty as a nation. There was no clear leadership and indeed, the numerous factions vying for political control of the nation were literally fighting in the streets for superiority. The people themselves had no hope and were forced into subservience. Adolph Hitler rose to power, a figurative phoenix rising from the ashes if you will, and was able to pull Germany together and give it a sense of purpose. A sense of purpose based on racial and ethnic superiority and a military economy to re-arm and re-equip the Army, Navy, and Air Force of Germany.

Today, the United States rests in the shadow of it’s former self, just like Germany prior to the arrival of Hitler. Individual and Corporate greed has stripped our ability and our status as leader in the free world, just like the Allied powers stripped Germany immediately after World War I. We are incapable of sustaining ourselves as an industrial nation.



But the coup d’tat that was to become the greatest horror of the 20th Century began as a political rallying cry from a political extremist with well orchestrated moves. The rhetoric that propelled Hitler into power was based on nationalism and fervent pride in the German people and Nation. There was no political discourse after Hitler assumed power. The only detail to be concerned with was the Nazi detail and whatever Hitler said was the way it was, in essence, might makes right. Today, rather than finding ourselves in discourse over political direction, which ideally would be slightly left or slightly right of the middle, we find ourselves locked in mortal combat as political adversaries with each other, not to accomplish the most good for the most people, but as a game of one upping each other in order to win. Just like that period of time in Germany, each faction is trying to gain political control. And as if that weren’t enough, there are factions in both mainstream parties that want to splinter and faction themselves off. Yes, the Tea Party is an example of that concept. It pays to bear in mind that America and Americans atypically gravitate toward the political middle or moderate view/stance. Few take radical or extreme stances in politics. Yet, we have this radicalization of politics and as may be elucidated in a broad and general sense, when these factions fail to succeed in one aspect, they often are willing to try another. What that means is, if they are unable to win their objectives politically, they are oft times willing to try to gain their objectives with force and violence. Take a look at how most terrorist groups grow and evolve. Born out of social strife and struggle, they fail to win or garner influence through traditional means so they turn to violence as a means to an end. Am I implying that your local tea partier will resort to violence? No, but there is that potential. To provide levity, look at groups such the Animal and Earth Liberation Fronts (ALF and ELF) that resort to criminal acts and violence in order to perpetuate their ideas on others. Who dares wins? No one seems concerned about the whole, unless it involves waving a flag and the sphere of interest encompasses that pinpoint ideology that each adheres to.



Don’t take the next few statements out of context. The only reason I use the political right is because they are currently at the forefront of the national spotlight and easy to view and assess. If it were turned around, I would do the same with the left. The political frontrunners of the right tell us that all it takes is for America to stand strong. Well, I’m all for that. It’s time we started making our own cars, televisions, furniture, appliances, machinery, and food again. But it seems the only thing that we can build is bombs, tanks, and planes. It’s time we rejuvenated our steel industry, our electronics and oil industries. It’s time we made it so expensive for those criminal corporations to off shore themselves and try to do business here that it is cheaper to hire, reside, and produce here. Now you can call that a tax, tariff, or protectionism; it matters not. What it does is take away the advantage of going off shore in the first place. It protects our people, our workers, and our industries. Those that clamor for a free market economy are often the ones that stand to benefit the most. They want free markets, but they likewise want tax shelters, breaks, and subsidies paid to them. They want it all. And again the corollary shows between the US and Germany during the rise of Hitler. Hitler watched the corporations grow fat on war profits and stripped the people of the means to live, subsist, and make a decent life for themselves. And he turned the focus of the people on those corporations and demonized them. Look at the insane profits being generated at present by the corporations in the United States and held off shore. I’m not talking small business. Small business is hurting right along with the middle class.



The right or conservative factions scream that it is the fault of the current sitting president. Deficit spending, huge debt, printing money devaluing the currency, all equate to a backslide of the United States from hegemon. We have stood by and watched the protections of the Constitution erode on the basis of personal safety. We aren’t any safer than we were 10 years ago, as we approach the anniversary of the bombing of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. There is an illusion that we’re safer. But what happens when you feel safe, regardless of whether you are or not? You relax, you let your guard down, and bam. Sure there have been reports every now and then about this, that, or the other terrorist threat or attempt successfully abated. That is to keep the masses pacified and prevent words such as these. If words challenging the voracity of such action do arise, then it provides ‘proof’ that the Patriot Act is working.



“Freedom isn’t Free” is another one of those terms that we’ve all heard before. And it’s true. The structure of our society is such that we have the greatest personal liberty, or did, of any sovereign nation on the planet. There are risks inherent to that concept and living that way, including the occasional loss of life. Be it through a criminal act like armed robbery or a terrorist attack, domestic or international. But the fact that our system succeeds is the testament to greatness. That the people are resolute in their will to exercise the freedoms they have, despite being bombed, slashed, or repressed. Where we fail is that we barter away our liberties a bit at a time for the benefit of feeling safe, or want of a job, or a million and one other things that are of little consequence to survival.



Because that is where we are at present folks. We teeter on the brink. The middle class of this nation has been reduced to the point that it is simply getting by. The elites of this nation and world are increasing their wealth in leaps and bounds and we are admonished that we merely have to work hard in order to succeed. That day has past I’m afraid. We must work hard now just to survive. To provide food, shelter, and basic needs, we are forced to settle for less than what we are deserving of, simply because we are in a moment of weakness and accept what is offered rather than hold out and demand what is ours by right. And you know something? We have quite literally done it to ourselves. We take what we are told at face value and give control to those who would make a mockery of our freedoms and processes. So while I brought the Presidential aspirants of the right side of the line into focus earlier, it cuts hard across both sides and all political ideologies, and that brings me back to the original premise of this piece. This nation is rife for the assent to power of a person such as Adolph Hitler. This nation is at a political low tide and feelings of desperation are pervading the population. As more and more people figure out how we’ve been duped and how they’ve been taken advantage of by those who take advantage of rules and laws they’ve had passed for the express purpose of running rough shod over a vast majority of the population, all in the name of making a buck, class conflict moves closer and a person of the ilk of Hitler taking power comes closer to being a reality.



The reason I hit so many topics is because those are general topics of the talking points we all hear on what is now a regular basis. I haven’t covered them to great depth, since to do so would increase this to something of a thesis. But look at the time and number of words used to briefly bring each into context. Now look at what the politicians are wanting you to decide on a 30 second blurb of tilted logic. We are going to hear quite a bit in this election cycle, locally as we move closer to November and nationally as primary season approaches mid 2012. And lastly, be careful what it is you ask for. You just might get it.
