Middle America's Worldview

I continue to be astounded on the news regarding San Francisco's ideology and political decisions.

Gun control Voters actually voted for a no to firearms in San Francisco in November 2005. Irregardless of the 2nd ammendment. Now get this, not only did they ban all guns, but wished to take away all citizens living within San Francisco guns as well. (shaking head)

Gay MarriageRegardless of Proposition 22 passed by the people, the Mayor allowed gay marriage to occur. I will have to say the high court nullified the marriages. But it again took priest in black clothes to make it so. I never did hear how much money was returned to the people.

Anti-Military Supervisor Gerardo Sandoval’s astonishing statement claimed clearly, he believes the Unites States should not have a military. Of course he later said he didn't understand the question clearly. But the statment definitely made ways. His idea of security relies upon the police.

Evidently there is moonbats out there. Vicky Leidner played lady liberty.



The above is exactly what the liberal left believes in.

I wondered how long it would take for the ACLU (Another Cult Loosed Under) to rear it's head on this, again.

Check out Stop the ACLU article on this.

I had actually checked this out a year ago when I heard of the National Council On Bible Curriculum In Public Schools. It was found to be totally constitutional and I found the concept actually interesting.

I personally get aggravated when we hear of the mandatory teachings of Islam as opposed to this voluntary class.

I think both classes can be taught as literature (islam and christianity), but I also do not think anyone outside the circle would fully trust what exactly would be taught.

Too bad ACLU supports one religion over another. Their bias is blantant at best.

I suggest everyone to check out the National Council on Bible Curriculum in Public Schools website and request the material to see exactly what it's all about. At least this would be a voluntary decision on your part.

Q: How have new discoveries about the human embryo forced pro-choice advocates to rethink their arguments?

A: It's fascinating what modern science has discovered. Electron microscopes can produce images of embryos at every stage of a baby's development. For years,
abortionists have said that the early embryo is just a "ball of cells ... not a
human being."

It appears that, even after the first cell division, the cells differentiate between the top and tail position, and all future cells seem to adopt a similar orientation.

The details aren't yet fully understood, but it's clear that the "blob" theory has no basis in reality. On the other hand, the Bible's teaching still stands. Genesis teaches that God created man in His image, and a newly conceived child is fully human.
As usual, the scientific evidence makes much more sense if you accept the Word of God as your authority, and then build your thinking from that foundation.

===========
Evolutionist quote of the week

According to this "blob" theory, the cells were all the same, and none had yet become hair,
blood, etc. But research has since found that cells begin to take on special purposes on the
day of conception!

Is the Human Embryo Essentially a Fish with Gills?

Darwinism and the Nazi Race Holocaust

BC-02. From Malthus and Darwin to Eugenics

Embryology and Evolution


Some teachers and textbooks still are presenting a simplistic nineteenth century Darwinian hypothesis that a developing embryo summarizes the evolutionary history of that organism. Mainstream embryologists have rejected this view, called recapitulation, for more than one-half century.

The above quote is what I find interesting. News seem to tell the public how much science and technology has advanced, but the ideology of evolution remains to be the same in most teachers. I had heard if you take a person from history, say around 1500, and bring him in the present, they would feel more comfortable in a public classroom then anywhere else. The reason is due to the classrooms having not move forward.

It appears regardless of the advance in Embryology and knowledge showing life at earlier stages, evolutionist still keep hold on their faith of darwinism. This is a shame when you consider how racist the theory of evolution is.

I personally take (2) 1000 mg tablets of fish oil daily as part of my vitamen intake. Our son also takes fish oil as one of his vitamen supplements. We have heard how good it suppose to be for you. Eating certain fish with fruits and vegetables are good diet, ect. I ran across this study showing the benefits of fish oil for patients with Acute Lung Injury. I thought it was really interesting and wanted to share it.

Roman Bystrianyk, "Borage and Fish Oil aid patients with Acute Lung
Injury", Health Sentinel, February 24, 2006,


Acute Lung Injury, or ALI, is most often seen as part of a systemic
inflammatory process and may be caused by trauma, sepsis (blood
infection), aspiration, and many other causes. Acute Respiratory
Distress Syndrome, or ARDS, is the most serious form of Acute Lung
Injury. Some of the other causes of ALI and ARDS are pneumonia, near
drowning, burns, and inhalation of noxious fumes.


An October 2005 study published in of the New England Journal of
Medicine indicated that there might be a great many more cases of ALI
in the United States than previously recognized. The new estimate
suggests that there maybe two to five times as many acute lung
injuries. The study authors estimated 190,600 cases of acute lung
injury occur each year that result in 3.6 million hospital stays and
74,500 deaths.


Recent evidence has shown that intervention with dietary fish oil,
which contains eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) or gamma-linolenic acid
(GLA), found in borage oil, may be beneficial in patients with ALI by
reducing inflammation. A 1999 study published in Critical Care Medicine
noted a decrease in inflammation in patients with ARDS that were given
EPA and GLA compared with controls. The EPA and GLA patients also
required fewer days of ventilation and had shorter time in the
intensive care unit (ICU).


A new study published in Critical Care Medicine examined the effect of
EPA and GLA on patients with ALI. In the study 49 patients received a
control formula and 46 received the EPA and GLA formula. The EPA and
GLA formula also included additional vitamin E, vitamin C,
beta-carotene, taurine, and L-carnitine.


The authors found that in this single-centered study there was an
advantage in the diet enriched with fish and borage oil. There was
improved oxygenation in patients as well as a small but significantly
shorter amount of time requiring ventilation - 13.1 days versus 17.6
days in the control group. The authors note that the better outcome in
the EPA and GLA group could be by "reducing inflammatory process in
the lung and improving lung mechanics and oxygenation."


The authors conclude, "our study demonstrates that this EPA + GLA
diet improves oxygenation and lung dynamics, and also morbidity related
to the lung condition, decreasing the LOV [Length of Ventilation] in
the ICU."

I was going to blog on the cancer in our society but after hearing more discussion on the port security/insecurity issue, I felt this was better.

OK, prior I said I did't have a nice fuzzy feeling on this port discussion. Now, I think I am getting butterflies on it.

I have recently heard and then read ... Last week, it emerged that both Dubai Ports World and Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Co., the seller, specified that an agreement by the U.S. government not to make a formal investigation as a condition for the deal. This is exceedingly odd; this is enough to persuade Congress to push the review. This is from the Washington Times.

If that sentence alone doesn't raise eyebrows nothing will. I truly wonder if Bush had created some deal with the Islamic's that we are not aware of. I can see the conspiracy now. I can personally see a understanding of information sharing from them. Then we turn over our ports, perhaps for money reasons on paper, as our part of the deal. Scary, very scary.

I had heard the frontrunner against this is none-other ultra liberal Schumer. I was really surpised to hear him speaking with Michael Savage last week on this same issue. Yes same dufus that regurgitating Haliburton. Geez, they just can't get a clue.

I was wondering why oh why would liberal democrats be interested in National Security now. According to Rush Limbaugh it has been decided the libs are concerned over the Unions for the ports. Since a new company is taking over, the current union will be in jeapordy. So the concern would be for the Unions not the security. Is it true? Who knows. I just don't trust any Demo Lib at all.

Did you know this story actually broke before the Cheyney gun accident frenzy? I guess the media thought it was more important to victimize Cheyney hoping he would step down rather than this security port issue. I just thought it was interesting the story was out there but only now picking up steam.


Regardless of Bush's reasoning, I can see this having initial severe issues. People are freaking on this due to the unknown. Perhaps we will learn more as this story grows and the American people start asking for answers.

The ports that are effected are located in New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Miami, and New Orleans.

While I am griping, get some freaking guard down on the Mexican border and stop that cesspool as well.

I had to get up early early today, say 2 a.m. local time for work. I am not on-call this week, but there is some server work to be done effecting 2 facilities. Once the servers are back online, I will assist the person on-call to bring the interfaces back up and online.

I have taken the advantage in time to fold laundry, ect. Yeah, exciting stuff.

Kel came to bed around midnight after hearing the OK from our friends daughter surgery. Seems she was literally in surgery all day over 12 hours operation time. Unreal. I am sure the mother has 2-3 ulcers at this point.

There is alot of firestorming over the company taking over the U.S. port security. I have to admit, I am really not feeling easy on a Arab company taking conrol of it. I hear Bush is digging heels on pushing for them to do so. I understand the buisiness aspect, as far as not to allow discrimination. However, it just doen't give me a fuzzy feeling. I wouldn't feel comfortable with any foriegn country taking over our areas of security, regardless of the country.

Time to get some coffee. It's been 2 hours already and the servers are not back up yet.

I am enjoying the weekend off. I actually have 3 days this time, sharing it with the kids. Our company actually has Presidents day as a official company holiday.

Todays church service was a good one. It spoke of King Hezekiah request to live longer. God granted him an additional 15 years. I found it fascinating the request to prove it was to have the shadow move back 10 degrees. I did a little Google and there is some discrepancy on whether it's really true or an urban myth. Irregardless, Hezekiah did exist.

Today, I will enjoy a Clue game with the kids and wife. Kel gave me the game for Valentines Day. We have been enjoying it since. I wanted the kids to adopt a skill while playing. You have to use deduction on the game.

We rented a pretty good movie last night called Zathura. I was pleasantly surprised. The movie was much better than I thought it would be. Having seen the Jumanji movie wrapped around Robin Williams, I was expecting the same genre. Yes, it was definitely a kids movie, but a twist I had not expected at the end. I will say, there were a couple of words, the kids say in the movie I found a bit in-appropiate considering the audience. However, it probably is just the way it is, if not worse out there. Irregardeless, I give it a thumbs up. Our daughter fell asleep before it came on, but our son stayed up and focused on it throughout the movie. We will be keeping it an additional night and be watching it again.

I went ahead and put some money in the foot bath website. The freebie I was utilizing bit the big one. I was really aggravated. According to the postings, the guy running the server lost his internet access privileges. So it appears he was unplugged. Since I am actually dedicating some time in this, I bit the bullet and invested in it.

The weather was definitely crazy this weekend. On Thursday temps were up to 78, Friday it was high of 42. Saturday brought us hail, snow, rain and cold winds. We expected the same today, but at this time, only a high around the 30's with no additional snow, sleet, ice.

I realize this is a bit old now, but I ran across this article while surfing the blogs.


RIAA Bans Telling Friends About Songs
November 30, 2005 | Issue 41•48

LOS ANGELES—The Recording Industry Association of America announced Tuesday that it will be taking legal action against anyone discovered telling friends, acquaintances, or associates about new songs, artists, or albums. "We are merely exercising our right to defend our intellectual properties from unauthorized peer-to-peer notification of the existence of copyrighted material," a press release signed by RIAA anti-piracy director Brad Buckles read. "We will aggressively prosecute those individuals who attempt to pirate our property by generating 'buzz' about any proprietary music, movies, or software, or enjoy same in the company of anyone other than themselves." RIAA attorneys said they were also looking into the legality of word-of-mouth "favorites-sharing" sites, such as coffee shops, universities, and living rooms.

In the digital age, where you can acquire 2 gig memory cards that you can fit on your keychain, I understand the ease of acquiring software, songs, ect. It can be a nightmare for any programmer or artist. But, looking into the ability to sue over word of mouth? I recall when the big issue when the movie "Hulk" hit the theaters. News of the movie leak hitting the biztorrent and then word spread like wildfire shortly after the movie release of how much it sucks. The entertainment industry blamed technology of cell phones, txt pages ect. Crying word of mouth was just too fast anymore with today's tech. Not that the issue was the movie itself. Sigh.

Having the wife down this week, I have utilized the famous crockpot. I have to say, I have earned a new respect for it. By mixing my food ingredients and using the Slow cook liners, I have the perfect suppers with no messy cleanups. I tell you, it made my week alot easier.

I recall when I was a kid, we really didn't use ours that much. When your single, it's a bit harder to cook for one person, but it beats steak and rice all the time.


History of the Crockpot.

CROCK-POT'S DEBUT
The first slow cooker was introduced in the early 1970s by Rival, under the trademarked name Crock-Pot. Today, two models of this appliance exist on the market: multicookers and the original slow cooker. Multicookers can be used to deep-fry, steam and slow-cook.

The crockery is an excellent insulator and keeps the cooking temperature even, so it doesn't require constant attention. Because multicookers heat from the bottom, food must be watched carefully and continuously stirred to prevent scorching. Slow cookers, which range in size from eight ounces to six quarts, have a crockery insert that may or may not be removable. The insert rests in a metal housing unit that heats from the sides.

I have always been fascinated with the hacker community. You have your white hat hackers that live only to learn, understand and report their security findings. Then you have your black hat hackers that utilize those same found insecurities for their own gain.

Michelle Malkin has a very interesting post regarding Islamic hack attacks on the net. I shouldn't really be surprised considering there is a increasing war cry physically. Now it's becoming obvious a digital war is occuring.

Considering the continued issue of identity theft (new Harrison Ford movie, Firewall coming out on the same subject) on the rise, this takes the Jihad in a whole new realm.

There have always been a net turf war since the boom of the web. Personally I recall when the web was only in text mode, using Delphi to gain access. Now you have a broad range of scripts, html, xhtml, graphic, java, ror, IM's, to utilize.

Once I read Michelle's blog, I had to do a search on this same issue. I found the following links below. Interesting to say the least.

Almost 1,000 Danish websites have been defaced by Islamic hackers ...

Muslim hackers blast Denmark in Net assault

Anti-cartoon protests go online

Will Malaysia Emerge as a Pro-al Qaeda Cyber Terrorist Haven?

It has always been thought you are faceless in the digital realm. Your handle was your identity. At least that was back then when I use to cruise the IRC's ect. I haven't been online chatting in a long time, due to no time to randomly surf anymore. I wouldn't really call them "Muslim" hackers. They are simply black hat hackers. But then again, I haven't been in that scene in quite awhile.

I am reading a fascinating book called The Politically Incorrect view of American History. It points out something I havent really thought of, The Tenth Amendment.

So what is the Tenth Amendment, other than part of the Bill of Rights?

The Tenth Amendment is stated as such....

"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

So what does it mean exactly?

"The Tenth Amendment guaranteed the states' rights to self-government. If the states had not delegated a particular power to the federal government, and if the Constitution had not forbidden the power to the states, then it remained as a resevered to the states or the people. For Thomas Jefferson this was the cornerstone of the entire Constitution. .....
Since the states existed prior to the federal government, they were the source of whatever power the federal government had. Thomas Jefferson determined the contitutionality of proposed legislation on this basis: If he did not find the power spelled out in Article I, Section 8, then it remained reserverd to the states." From the 'The Politically Incorrect view of American History'

Wow, so that means, if its not in this Article I, section 8, the states have control over it. So what's in the Article I, Section 8? It's a bit long.

Section 8.

I found this to be interesting. You can see more information in the AIG site.

A: Evolutionists have taught that the stratified fossil record of dinosaurs and other creatures formed slowly over millions of years. And most people have this idea that it takes millions of years to turn bones into fossils as well.


But creation scientists believe that most of the fossils—including most of the dinosaur fossils—formed at the time of Noah's Flood, only about 4,500 years ago. This means that fossils must have formed rather quickly.

So, is there any evidence that fits with this?

A museum in New Zealand showcases a petrified ham, which formed after a volcano covered a village in ash in 1886 (see Tarawera's night of terror). And a museum in Tasmania features a petrified hat. It was left in a mine, and after fifty years it had changed from being a soft, felt hat into a hard hat! (See 'Fossil' hat.)

No, it doesn't take millions of years to make fossils.

Can we know, then, when the fossil record was formed? The answer's in Genesis: most of the fossils were formed during the Flood of Noah's day, just a few thousand years ago.

I say a look at it as opposed to analyzing the movie. The simple reason is because there just is'nt much there.

OK.
First I would like to say in the extra's within the DVD, Disney pats itself on the back for being "able to make something many thought we could not", hence a sequel to the beloved classic. But, did they really create anything other than a rubber stamp of 2 on it?

Looking at the DVD timer, I only showed the movie lasting about an hour. Yeah, an hour. So it's short.

What characters did it have? Basically the following:
1) The expected Bambi (who looks really feminine as opposed to the rival).
2) The rival deer. It was some bully that pestered Bambi throughout the movie, but turned out to be a momma's boy. Remember the first movie where Bambi fights the unknown deer for the female doe? Could be the same one.
3) Thumper was in it. There was about 5 minutes of the same scene with his mother asking what his father told him.
4) Thumpers sisters. Same as the first movie, pestering Thumper.
5) Flower the skunk was in it. Yeah, the skunk still likes the flowers. The funny thing with him was his angry face to make him throw stink.
6) The female doe. She is probably the same as the original movie as well. Similar scenarios occured where the rival deer is fighting to have her attention as the first movie.
7) The grumpy porcupine. Recall the badger in "The Fox and the Hound"? Same character but a porcupine. I mean, really, same character.
8) The owl was in it. A bit younger looking, but he flew in a couple of times.
9) Bambi's father. He was basically the only new character in the whole movie that had much cameo. They posed him as a dad with the wrong priorities. However, he learns the son is the priority.
There may have been a doe or butterfly here, but that's the characters involved.

That's it. Basically there were no creation really involved in it. They used similar, if not exact, scenes from the first movie. Throw in a character from another classic movie and you have it. The storyline was basically the dad deer accepting Bambi as opposed to throwing him off on another doe.

I was personally disappointed but not surprised. Brighton had it right from the previews. The movie was nothing more than a rubber stamp to make more money with no new ideas. No meat at all. Sigh.

Your kids will love it. Not because it's necessary good, but because it's Disney and Bambi.

Then again, it's my own opinion on it.

I found this rather interesting. It appears NBC had attempted to put a show called "The book of Daniel". The show depicted a suppose christian family with serious issues. A dad that is a priest hooked on vicodin, a gay son, and a daughter is dealing marijuana to raise extra cash. Sounds like your regular family, right? I have to say I never watched this nor did I have a desire to. But I did receive the emails and heard others talking about it.

Here comes AFA calling to arms to contact the sponsors. Low and behold action was taken and NBC drops the show due to groups coming against it. The reason for the action to remove this show from christian and conservative groups?

"Conservative Christian groups condemned the depiction of Jesus as blasphemous, accusing the writers of portraying Christ as tolerant of sin in talks with the priest. Seven NBC affiliates refused to air it"

Now since NBC lost the revenue and probably pissed off about it, here comes a segment within Will and Grace. The story of Will and Gracehaving a segment having Brittney Spears as a conservative who hosts on a Christian TV network a cooking segment called "Cruci-fixin's."

Interesting enough, the conservative christian groups catches wind of it and again started to call on the sponsors. Now NBC is trying to say, they didnt know anything about it. Yet, everyone else caught wind of it and even played it on SNL during the weekend update.

Note the conservative christian groups means to show their dislike in a blasephemous view toward their God and Saviour? A simple to call to the sponsors. It had immediate, non-violent action and a impact that stopped the shows.

Now compare that to the muslim response to the caricatures.

It's became so bad that Danish Prime Minister Andres Rasmussen responded today to the
increasing Muslim violence over cartoon caricatures of Muhammad by saying,

We are now facing a growing global crisis. It now is something else than
the drawings... Scary.

Gary Bauer had a piece..."Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is, naturally, blaming Israel. According the Associated Press, Khamenei said, 'The
West condemns any denial of the Jewish holocaust, but it permits the insult of
Islamic sanctities.' He then went on to declare the cartoons a 'conspiracy by
Zionists who were angry because of the victory of Hamas." For the record,
Hamas’ election victory occurred at the end of January; these cartoons were
first published in September of 2005."

Now, I agree there are a billion muslims and not all of them are going crazy over this. But you have radical islams taking this and attempting to rage their followers and recruiting riots. Unfortunately, it's working. I just don't see any other religion waving swords, decapitating heads, committing suicide bombings other than the the religion of peace.

In short there are many forms of power. I personally would prefer the power of voice, rather than the power of terror.

I am amazed at times to hear how many dads are unwilling to spend time with their kids. The wife had the opportunity to go out for a while last night with some girlfriends. This is rare and I am glad she actually can do it. Nothing like the Vegas commercials (that I am aware of wink wink), but some time away for adult conversation and girlie stuff. So when the girls go out to play, dad's are left home with the kids, right?

I personally enjoy the times alone with the kids. I rented a movie for the 3 of us, planned to play games and kids stuff, have snacks ect. I pulled the office mattress in the living room and made a pallet, ect. You know.

Then I hear what the other dads are doing. Take our friends for one (the ones I watched the kids nearly all bloody week). They had a skate party for their son, going on 5 that same Saturday. I asked the dad, what's the plan for you guys? He went into the spill of cleaning the sons room, putting bunkbeds together, ect. OK.
I then learn later from the wife he and his wife was fighting. Seems he was giving her a guilt trip for going out. He really doesnt like her going out to have fun, so creats projects on the same day of her going out and trys to guilt her in having fun. Hmmm, and what of the kids? I am sure they are in the middle of it. He seems not to like having to watch them.

Then another couple, I learned. Seems a dad simply doesnt know why he has to watch them while the wife is out. So, the grandparents take them.

Evidently another one received some fun time for the trouble of watching the kids.

What's with these dads anyway? Their your kids. God knows time is flying faster than a airplane on crack. I bitch about it enough. So, I say take a chill pill and enjoy what little time you have while they are young. Before long, they will be too old (in their own minds) to play with the parents.

Well that's my gripe for today.

Being up I scanned my daily reading of blogs and see the Islamic world is in an uproar over caricatures (one panel cartoons) within Denmark. Unfortunately, for all their crying they are only bringing more attention to the caricatures. How long will it be before more are produced.

What I thought was really interesting is the radical retaliation they are proposing.

Note attempted kidnappings(seems terrorist enjoy kidnappings), call for boycotting oil. Places are being sacked and graffitied.

"Protests have included street demonstrations, flag burnings, death threats, bomb scares and a crippling consumer boycott of Danish goods by businesses in several Gulf states."

All this and probably more not told over caricatures (cartoons) over the religion of peace. I think of liberals trying to purge United States of any mark of Christiantiy and am curious what would happen if christians retaliated in the same way as these muslims? I don't think it would be tolerated.

Here in America, we recently had an outcry over a caricature depicting wounded soldier in Iraq in the attempts to take a stab at Rumsfield. There was a backlash on the cartoonist but I don't recall anyone attempting the same things these muslims are.

Someone on the radio called for no more caricatures depicting in these ways. The host countered and said that wasn't the answer. His proposal was to allow them to continue to publish whatever they want, but for those wishing not to buy that publication, would be more appropiate. So in a way a boycott on those publications on a individual basis. I guess it's a good thing neither one called for a international day of anger over the sensitive caricatures depicting our troops harmed.


I say, iF you removed everything that offended someone, we wouldn't have anything to look at, much less a severe restriction in freedom of speech.

Does this all seem silly to some? Perhaps. However, don't take this anger in the Muslim world lightly. They will simply use these caricatures as a pretext for revenge.

Recall when the Islamic terrorist cried provocation against America for the Abu Ghraib prison scandals(among other things in the past)? The jihadist were fighting long before Abu Ggraib, Iraq, Israel, or American Independence.

1:30 a.m. local time and I can't sleep. Unreal. This week seems to be a frat party for kids. We had 2 kids over Monday evening, 2 kids (different) over Tuesday evening and night, I think we were spared Wednesday since Kel had to run them all over the place all day. We had 2 kids over last night and I will keep the same two all day Friday. Yeah, the night over on this one was up to me, but my point is we had 4 kids to deal with nearly every day and/or night this week. Kel has her surgery scheduled for next Friday.

Friday's plan. I will have the kids at home with me till around 1-2 p.m. Mine will go to their Nana and Papa's for the night. The 2 friends will be picked up accordingly around the same time, if not earlier. Kel has a lunch thing to go to around 7 p.m. for church. I plan to go to my Dad's for the hour. I haven't seen him in a long time and sit down discussion alone even longer. After that, the wife and I will have actual private time (on-call aside). Can't wait.

I think this week I have been missing adult time. Other than work and politics at home, I haven't really had time to sit down and just talk to other adults. I am looking forward to visiting with my Dad tonight and some quite time with the wife. I will still be on-call, but I look forward to the age bracket above 8 yrs of age.

I bought Avatar the last Airbender today as it came out on DVD this week. I was surprised no local movie rentals had it nor Walmart of all places. I found it at Best Buy and grabbed it. It was actually pretty good. I have seen one or two of the shows on Nickelodean. I watched it last night with the kids.

Not much else, I figured I better blog while I could. I have couple of things I am analyzing and will post them later, since I have put up any new analyzing post in quite some time.

I woke up with a splitting headache this morning. I think it has to do with stress in the political arena. Small town BS that is going down and I can only see it getting worse. We have a couple of teachers trying to put pressure on their peers to convey something they do not believe in.

When I attained School Board, I didn't think I could change the world, but at least make a significant improvement. However, I have and still learn, there is only so much one can do. I pull in all information on any given issue and try to find the means to enhance it to make it better. In this type of arena, information and good analytical discussion is crucial. You have to not only know all the facts avaiible but be able to convey those facts in a way to promote the best interest. Sounds simple, but it really isnt. You can speak to two different individuals on a given topic and each will tell you what they really believe, leaning on their way of thinking. Then when you have someone that is trying to stifle that information, it only makes it more difficult. Some of these individuals are hell bent just to make it harder for those that are only trying to make things better. If one steps back to look at the whole scenario, it becomes pretty obvious. But, some are only caught up on feelings rather than facts.

I seen the link to the Democrats not clapping for our President and I feel really sorry. I feel sorry for the President in the fact the dimwhits are making it harder on him than is required. By their actions based on feelings rather than facts, they are only hurting themselves (making them look like asses) and ultimately hurting this nation. Yes, I agree everyone has the right to convey their disagreement and voice accordingly. However, there is a time and place to do such things. When the world is watching the President of the best Country in the world speak of utilizing tools to our people in order to protect this Nation, it is not time to cut eyes and sit on your hands. Don't they really get it? I have been laughing at the Dems for their outragious behaviour, but I am not laughing anymore. By them sitting there in unsupport, they have shown the world their decision against this President and this Nation. Some may argue, "oh but they clapped for the troops and support them." Their actions speak differently. How can they support the troops without providing them the necessary means of survival against our enemies?

A simliar tactic is being used in our small town politics. We have certain teachers saying they are for the kids, yet their actions speak differently. They have only shown up on meetings when it concerns money in their general account. You see, they can say whatever they want to say. However, their actions show their priorities, whether it's a elected Dem or a simple individual in your small town.

Keep up the good work for those laboring for enhancing your areas.
