I'm back,
After backbreaking hours in the middle Tennessee sun, I've decided that the trades are not a place for a schooled pl----er. A man much smarter than me (not too difficult) told me that education and schooling are two different things entirely. I'm still not sure why words are paid so well and works are so poorly paid. Not UTI(united trades incorporated), but STGLU (small town guys like us). People who's weekly check looks like a month's union dues in Chicago Regardless, the burgeoning wealth of the ridiculously rich, may soon come to the notice of the "why can't you fix my kid's arm, this is an emergency room / I don't care what it costs, give my mother the medicine!" blue collar, red neck, NRA, enough is enough Viet Vet. A very wide, still unaligned spectrum of ,"off line folks", may be extremely annoyed when they are finally informed that their leaders had their best interests at heart, and "we know what's best for you, trust us we've been to graduate school". Instant communications have put the worlds leaders so far out of touch with their constituants that they look absurd everytime they try to relate or deny.
I personally have it made. I can't see a house from my house, and I have legal weapons to insure my privacy,(it's really just a state of mind; the constabulary will prevail, but it's not them I'm worried about. It's just a country state of mind.) Anyway, my friends in the city--your choice--tell me I live like royaty without the papparazzi. Be that as it may, I still recognize a serious problem when it smites me.
Robber barons and train robbers were both admired for their boldness and their daring and at about the same time on the history line. J.P. Morgan...Jesse James, both were thieves involved with trains. Our form of government has allowed their tales to be promulgated and mythologized to the point that deeds, good or bad , are irrelevant, only their impact on society matters. I doubt seriously that the current batch of mega-crooks will have the same histrionic luxury. "Let them eat cake", will have an empty sound indeed. "Corporate terrorist" may become an appellation akin to Al Queda. A horrible label but not uncalled for.
I ramble, but my point is..."it's not bad to be rich, it's bad to be blatently, overbearingly, rudely , obscenely wealthy". If your so rich, how come you're not discrete?

Okay, we've gone from the ridiculous to the absurd. The Ninth District Appeals court is equating the word "god", with religion, that's just plain silly. While mankind is more than willing to to lay the blame on "God", apparently "God" is, by any other name, willing to let man, i.e. mankind, do unto fellow man, all manner of horrendous acts. I think it is an exercsize in futility to separate "church and state". Chicken or egg quickly evolves to church or state. More`s, beliefs, hopes and wishes. There are mindless "allahzombies" killing people everywhere they can, so they (and their families) can go to allah "poste haste". I think it might be in the interest of mankind overall if their trip were hastened even more. I know large sums of money would be forthcoming if these "martyrs" would come forward, sign in, and kill themselves (in the name of ALLAH) and intelligently fulfill their obligation to Yasser and the state.
Historically speaking, I've not discovered a society, or culture yet that thrived under the rule of a "royal family"; not in techniculture anyway. This is, after all the 21st century and asian culture is ...NOT HERE YET. The romance of eastern religions is the stuff of Hollywood,not cause for policy decisions. Treat them as children, that's how they treat each other. It is my opinion that the Monroe Doctrine was way ahead of it's time. The less we have to do with their family feuds the better. We've got our own problems here and don't need to get sucked into their debt pattern.
