Basically Darwinism it is a theory to explain the creation of life. The theory is that a chemical soup was exposed to certain radiations that caused it to spontaneously become a single celled life form. Then, according to the theory, that life form and maybe others that also spontaneously jumped into existence occasionally spontaneously changed over time to become more and more complex life forms leading to all the life forms that ever existed on the planet.
But anyone who has paid any attention to DNA studies knows that even single celled life forms have a complex DNA structure and that individual sections of the DNA strands must be turned on and off at very specific points of time during its life. Consider just the fact that the chemical soup would have had to at the exact same time spontaneously create a life form that: would have to be able to ingest the chemicals around it for power or absorb radiated energy, and that would need a method of converting the chemicals or energies to a useful form, and to have had a method of using that energy to sustain its life, and to have had a method to expel unwanted chemicals or life functional waste from itself, and to have had a method to block against or defend itself from other chemicals or radiations that would destroy it, and to have had a method to be able to move within its environment to seek out needed chemicals or to protect itself, and that it would also at that exact same time had to have been created with the ability to reproduce so that life would continue. Only a delusional fool would believe that the proven DNA data and simple life requirements math factors supports such foolishness.
Darwinism has been forced to be taught in schools as if it is a proven science by the same people who have forced Creationism and everything Godly out of the schools. Those people are against God and use the Darwinism theory as the foundation of their religion that denies the existence of God.

Democracy's Weakness
The Russian invasion of Georgia and the inability of the US or Europe to do anything about it demonstrates Russia’s newly proven position of power in the world and the current weakness of the world’s democracies.
Europe and the US will not attack Russia foremost because Russia has a large sophisticated military force and plenty of nuclear weapons, not because the US is hamstrung by the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The current military tactics in Iraq and Afghanistan could be adjusted to quickly crush the will, or the capability, of those countries that are acting to promote the continuing of those wars to nothing more than a minor consideration. If the US and Europe went up against Russia then their global priorities would change with definitive power being used to quickly knock down any country that acts to help their enemies. Russia has now even suggested that it may engage in military action against Poland because Poland signed an agreement to install the US missile defense system. If Russian troops entered Poland would Europe and the US send troops into Poland to attack those troops if necessary to force them out or just put up with it? What would Russia do if the west started to move equipment and troops to provide some protection against an invasion into former USSR countries that claim they fear threatened by Russia?
Any financial penalties the US and Europe impose against Russia for their attack into Georgia, and for their remaining on and keeping any Georgian territory they please, could backfire. Europe and the US need the massive amounts of Russian gas and oil to continue to flow into Europe. If the western democratic countries freeze Russian bank accounts and apply other financial penalties against Russia then they may find out the hard way which country holds the power to cause the other the greater financial suffering. If Russia decides to shut off the taps to European countries the lack of fuel and the fuel price jump for Europe and the US could quickly cripple their economies. Even just jacking the price way up would cause a lot of damage because Europe can’t just go shopping elsewhere to get a better deal because of the tight world supply situation, and you can bet that action would cause US prices to jump too. And as hurricane Gustav approaches the US government has announced that it is willing to tap into the country’s strategic oil reserves to try to stabilize the cost of a gallon of gas at the pumps if the hurricane causes any interruptions to the US oil and gas production, which of course is being done to buy political favour during this election period. What about the ease with which hostile countries can cut the US or world oil supplies to cause costs to skyrocket and the reduced ability of the US to absorb this hit if its reserves are reduced, and even more so if a major military action is needed because the current Russian threat escalates during the same time and/or Iran causes problems with the Persian Gulf oil tanker traffic? As per usual the politician’s only thoughts prove them to be selfish and incapable of understanding the threats to themselves, their families, and all the rest of the people who make up the country. Of course the wealthiest can always move to safer parts of the world during times of war to continue their empires, notwithstanding a full out global nuclear war that they also would suffer from.
The western countries cannot succeed in bullying Iran into stopping their nuclear program either. The US and Europe cannot attack Iran to prevent them from pursuing their nuclear program without considering what Russia and Iran could join together to do. Iran could fully or partially shut down the Persian Gulf oil tanker traffic and Russia could turn off the taps to its pipelines that supply Europe or jack their prices up enough to seriously harm the economies of the west. The Russian and Iranian gas and oil could still move through Russian controlled territory, including using the Georgian pipelines that would have been a bypass around Russian territory, to sell to China and their other friendly countries. The west should not be surprised to see more Russian weapons and supplies flowing into Iran.
The US cannot act aggressively against China either because unfair trade practices have resulted in China holding a massive amount of the country’s debt that the Chinese could dump into the world’s markets to crash the US economy. The western democratic countries have allowed communist China to enact uneven trade policies to take wealth from their countries, and to purchase their resources and to get easier access to western technologies. Our democratic leaders like to pretend themselves to be more morally correct then the rest of us peons by being so inclusive of all people, so much so that they fool themselves into looking at everyone and everything through rose coloured glasses. Communist countries use this kind of naivety of the arrogantly delusional to strengthen their position of power.
The western countries democratic politician’s foolish lack of concern for the long term consequences of allowing the free market to choose the direction for their countries means they ignored the threat of outsourcing their country’s energy supply sources. They have also ignored the financial threats unrestrained free markets have caused that allows communist countries like China to hold such a massive amount of our debt as leverage against us and that have also resulted in the unemployment of millions of our own citizens. The massive amounts of money paid out for imported oil and trade imbalances that flowed out of the western countries are returning to buy up all the country’s people’s works, resources, properties and technologies. The western democratic countries economies can now be easily bought or held hostage by foreign interests because for decades our leaders have chosen not to lead but to foolishly allow the selfishly greedy markets to choose our countries path. The only thing our politicians know because they constantly practice it is how to lie and deceive, and how to suck butt of any little group that may help provide them with the few extra votes they’ll need to get them elected. Their main use of their mind is trying to think of how they can improve their chance of getting elected or reelected, and in practicing how to lie and deceive more convincingly. Instead of knowing a little history, something about human nature, and having some understanding of current business practices and technologies, and applying this knowledge to encourage the progression of our country to the benefit of we the people, who are in fact the country, the politicians prefer to blindly leave everything up to unknown people and engage in their tirade of “The best thing to do is to let the markets dictate their own path and make their own corrections.”.
Has Russia even bothered to return the US equipment they stole in Georgia or are they continuing to thumb their nose at the US? What will the western countries do if Russia decides to move their military into Poland and/or other countries? Will they be willing to go to war against a nuclear power that could immediately shut off so much of their needed power generating capability and upset their economies? Does Russia need to concern itself with the blathering of the US and European politicians when they hold so many power cards? Will Russia, China and Iran choose to work in tandem to deliver a one, two, three knockout punch to the western democracies? Stay tuned: same bat time, same bat channel.

Poetry
What is this poetry thing really about
Why it is just simply everything and all about life
You may choose to share your feelings with others
Or simply describe something special you’ve seen
You can use it to teach in an interesting way
Or explain your own thoughts on whatever you choose
You can create it with rhyme or just use a rhythmic flow
But it’s always about life so not always pretty
Creating your poetry of course can be hard
But like a medicine it can be good for your soul
Sometimes all it takes is to write your thoughts down
For your pains to be eased and the healing begun
Poetry writing is good exercise for the mind
It’s an interesting discipline of ordering words
The greater your vocabulary the easier it can be
And even beginners like me can create poetry worth reading
Why it is just simply everything and all about life

God versus the State
Your beliefs are nothing but lies
Is that why you separate God out
God is a factor in everything
We act for or against Him always
Don’t follow those but-but people
God is always part of the equation
You can choose to leave God out
But this is acting against Him
Many are working to deceive us
And we can find plenty of excuses
It’s easier just following the crowd
But only you are responsible for you
God’s laws are always in effect
And we deny them at our peril
Our every action proves our soul
And by this He’ll judge us true
Is that why you separate God out
God is a factor in everything
We act for or against Him always
Don’t follow those but-but people
God is always part of the equation
You can choose to leave God out
But this is acting against Him
Many are working to deceive us
And we can find plenty of excuses
It’s easier just following the crowd
But only you are responsible for you
God’s laws are always in effect
And we deny them at our peril
Our every action proves our soul
And by this He’ll judge us true

It's Barbecue Time
The warm weather is here now it’s barbecue time
So get out your gear and make sure everything works
And fill a tank for the unit and a backup as well
Because you’ll not want to run out before your meal is quite done
All the neighbourhood men are getting their barbecues ready
This is their time to shine and show they’re great chefs
But they’ve got an advantage with this type of cooking
Because anything done on a barbecue is going to taste great
Gathering together they’ll debate gas versus charcoal
Plus the various spices and their different techniques
Now this is their territory and they’ll jealously guard it
And the more experienced wives will quite wisely steer clear
Soon the great smells will permeate the whole block
Because most of the barbecues are now fired up
But who really cares who’s doing this wonderful cooking
It’s barbecue time and our taste buds are drooling
So get out your gear and make sure everything works
And fill a tank for the unit and a backup as well
Because you’ll not want to run out before your meal is quite done

Silly Fur Balls
Cats can be extremely graceful in their feline ways
Yet also prove to be quite foolish and clumsy
When hunting they seem so surefooted and quiet
But when exploring they’re often falling and stumbling
Most of their leaps are amazing and sure
And mucking up most often they’ll land on their feet
I love when they leap straight up then flip in the air
Like when they’re after a butterfly high over their head
Cats in general have a wonderfully regal appearance
But if they somehow get soaked they look simply pathetic
Their explorations can take them into the tightest of places
But if they then have to back out now they’re in trouble
All it will take is just a ball or some string
Then even the adult becomes a kitten once more
Anything that moves will grab their attention
And these little fur balls are so cute when they play
Cats are great pets and give their owners such joy
Like when they cuddle up and turn on their purr
And whatever they’re up to they can always surprise us
Then we’ll break out in laughter at these silly fur balls
Yet also prove to be quite foolish and clumsy
When hunting they seem so surefooted and quiet
But when exploring they’re often falling and stumbling
Most of their leaps are amazing and sure
And mucking up most often they’ll land on their feet
I love when they leap straight up then flip in the air

Fishing Tranquility
I learned the value of fishing as just a young boy
The serene quiet and nature is what it’s about
With some spikes of excitement thrown in for good measure
Like when you get a good strike and have a fish to contend with
The exploration of nature was all part of the joy
While we searched for new places to enjoy this great sport
It wasn’t unusual to spend the whole day in adventure
Without once dipping our lines in search of a fish
You may come across great numbers of berries to feast on
Or strip to your underwear to go for a swim
A beaver pond was always a marvelous find
Then a raft had to be built and the adventure begun
We weren’t after a trophy or plenty of fish
Just kids having fun with nothing to prove
So catch and release were mostly our ways
With the occasional brought home at a parent’s request
When it comes to then knowing the true value of sport fishing
The adventurous children by far know more then the adults
They are not rushed or restricted by some strange adult rules
They know the true value of the sport doesn’t even always include fishing
The serene quiet and nature is what it’s about
With some spikes of excitement thrown in for good measure
Like when you get a good strike and have a fish to contend with
The exploration of nature was all part of the joy
While we searched for new places to enjoy this great sport
It wasn’t unusual to spend the whole day in adventure
Without once dipping our lines in search of a fish
You may come across great numbers of berries to feast on
Or strip to your underwear to go for a swim

Democracy
Everyone claims their own individual freedom rights even to the point of demanding the law throw away the religious moral rights and beliefs of the majority to cater to them. There are an awful lot of people complaining about the state of the economy, yet those same people don’t seem to realize that the basic democratic freedom economy that allows everyone to seek their own path to happiness and profit, without responsibility or concern for others, is what caused all the economic problems currently affecting the US.
If you watch the news you’ll notice the politicians want to either tax the windfall profits of the oil companies or to go after the speculators who they claim are driving oil prices up. The oil companies have made their profits following the rules the politicians put in place. The speculators are only following the market place rules of trading to seek a profit. These same politicians claim they are all for the US democratic system but they now seek to punish those who were following the rules, or lack thereof, that they put in place. The many companies that shuffled so many jobs out of the country are also just following the rules the government put in place, the same as the companies that also put their quick profit above the concerns of the country to sell those mortgages that were designed with the full knowledge that most of them would fail.
Now let us all bow down and worship our countries that cater to individual selfish desires before that of respecting and protecting the country which is all the people, and let us not complain about the results of our worship.

I Need His Control
God has given me
My life many times
When I needed it
He’d come through
The right thought
And required acrobatics
To keep me alive
He’s had me dance
I gave Him my body
When just a young child
Then held on to it
To keep Satan out
He has saved me from me
Removing many temptations
I could have hurt many
If He didn’t hold me well
I have some awareness now
Some knowledge to offer up
Yet I still beg for His control
So I can be with my God
My life many times
When I needed it
He’d come through
The right thought
And required acrobatics
To keep me alive
He’s had me dance
I gave Him my body
When just a young child
Then held on to it
To keep Satan out
He has saved me from me
Removing many temptations
I could have hurt many
If He didn’t hold me well
I have some awareness now
Some knowledge to offer up
Yet I still beg for His control
So I can be with my God

Get Out of My Way
Some people use any excuse to be rude
No social rules or common courtesy for them
They’ll do what they please and we better beware
I’m coming through get out of my way
Some use their wheelchairs as their excuse
They’ll deliberately bump people or get in the way
And if you complain you’re being mean
I’m in a wheelchair get out of my way
I know a blind person who likes to whack people
And if you complain will say but I’m blind
He can see enough to know someone is there
But his attitude is I’m blind get out of my way
Some use babies in strollers as their excuse
Even shoving them out to stop vehicle traffic
They’ll block people’s way or plow through the crowds
I’ve got a child get out of my way
If someone is rude they’ll seek any excuse
Using whatever props to claim it’s okay
And if they’ve got their excuse you shouldn’t complain
I don’t care about you get out of my way
No social rules or common courtesy for them
They’ll do what they please and we better beware
I’m coming through get out of my way
Some use their wheelchairs as their excuse
They’ll deliberately bump people or get in the way
And if you complain you’re being mean
I’m in a wheelchair get out of my way
I know a blind person who likes to whack people

Carbon Tax Foolishness
What a foolish way to pretend to promote alternative clean energy sources. The cost of energy is sky high and some people want to up that cost under the guise that this will stimulate the switch to other energy sources. Duh, you can’t act in a manner that threatens to cripple the economy and expect money will flow into the technologies you want. And saying you won’t do anything until all the countries of the world agree to act together just proves you don’t want to do anything or that you are extremely naive about international politics. Doing it ourselves and proving it works will make other countries want to do the same thing and would give us a trade advantage over them because we would already be there while they would be just starting out.
First you promote the growth of the needed new energy sources and then when they come online sufficiently well enough you warn the public in advance, for example 5 years in advance, that the taxes on the old fossil fuels will jump substantially. This allows the people to choose to buy the newer products, like buying hydrogen fueled vehicles and signing on with wind and solar electrical generating companies to receive their energy needs, or to continue to buy the old gas guzzlers and staying with the companies that use fossil fuels to create electricity with the full knowledge of the high price consequences that will result from their staying with dirty burning fossil fuel sources. That will then give an added boost to the already established newer clean energy producing product companies, and an additional incentive for new startup companies to emerge, which will reduce prices further and improve efficiencies as they gear up for an even greater production demand.
The main thing preventing hydrogen fueled vehicles from selling on mass to reduce their current high cost and promote us into the cleaner hydrogen economy is the fact that the majority of us cannot afford to, nor will we choose to, buy a vehicle that we cannot refuel no matter where we choose to drive it. The politicians need to promote the installation of hydrogen refueling stations across the continent. Once there are a reasonable number of stations throughout the country then the politicians will need to give assistance to local manufactures that want to build our hydrogen powered vehicles here and to companies and individuals who wish to be among the first to buy these new products at the beginning while the production starts ramping up and the unit costs are higher.
The politicians also need to strongly promote the building and installation of wind and solar generators across the continent. There are other clean electrical producing technologies that should be promoted with tax incentives too. The more electrical production we have the easier it will be to supply the hydrogen needs to move to the hydrogen economy. Directed tax breaks to clean power source companies and their products, and the directed removal of tax breaks to fossil fuel providers, is part of the way to begin the process.
When the politicians recently spent the $160 billion on the so-called economic stimulus package I believe they said it was about 1% of the US tax base. A country should spend some of the money they demand from their citizens on the country. Can you imagine what would have happened if the politicians had said to the US public that they have set aside $160 billion dollars to refund 100%, or even only 75% or so, of the full purchase and installation costs of wind and solar electrical generators upon them becoming operational? Companies would have immediately ramped up production, and other people would have begun new companies, and they would have instantly started hiring people to do the manufacturing, selling, training, installation and servicing. Instead of first borrowing the money and then hoping something good happens after you scatter it around foolishly, the money would have had to have been spent first and would have already acted to stimulate the US economy before any of it was refunded. Requiring the operational installation aspect would have ensured the bulk of the money would have been spent on stimulating the economy of the US, instead of stimulating the Chinese economy by borrowing money from them so the refund rebates could then be spent to buy more Chinese manufactured products (Walmart type purchases).
The world’s governments have supported the fossil fuel economy long enough. The problem was that electricity and combustion came online around the same time and gas power had the advantage of more quickly accessing the power and more mobility using the technology of the day. Now that we have so much more knowledge our leaders should be acting to direct us along the intelligent path instead of continuing to promote this insanity. Casually poisoning our water and the air we breathe is race insanity. When we grow up as children we learn things and change our ways to accommodate our new understanding so we can progress positively through life, like learning how to walk, talk, look both ways before crossing the road, ride a bike, etc. Why do we stop this intelligent way of progressing through life once we become adults? It is time to take our learning and apply it to progress to a positive future for us all and, if we truly do love our children, to a positive future for all our children’s future generations as well.
First you promote the growth of the needed new energy sources and then when they come online sufficiently well enough you warn the public in advance, for example 5 years in advance, that the taxes on the old fossil fuels will jump substantially.

Once there are a reasonable number of stations throughout the country then the politicians will need to give assistance to local manufactures that want to build our hydrogen powered vehicles here and to companies and individuals who wish to be among the first to buy these new products at the beginning while the production starts ramping up and the unit costs are higher.
The politicians also need to strongly promote the building and installation of wind and solar generators across the continent. There are other clean electrical producing technologies that should be promoted with tax incentives too. The more electrical production we have the easier it will be to supply the hydrogen needs to move to the hydrogen economy. Directed tax breaks to clean power source companies and their products, and the directed removal of tax breaks to fossil fuel providers, is part of the way to begin the process.
When the politicians recently spent the $160 billion on the so-called economic stimulus package I believe they said it was about 1% of the US tax base. A country should spend some of the money they demand from their citizens on the country. Can you imagine what would have happened if the politicians had said to the US public that they have set aside $160 billion dollars to refund 100%, or even only 75% or so, of the full purchase and installation costs of wind and solar electrical generators upon them becoming operational? Companies would have immediately ramped up production, and other people would have begun new companies, and they would have instantly started hiring people to do the manufacturing, selling, training, installation and servicing. Instead of first borrowing the money and then hoping something good happens after you scatter it around foolishly, the money would have had to have been spent first and would have already acted to stimulate the US economy before any of it was refunded. Requiring the operational installation aspect would have ensured the bulk of the money would have been spent on stimulating the economy of the US, instead of stimulating the Chinese economy by borrowing money from them so the refund rebates could then be spent to buy more Chinese manufactured products (Walmart type purchases).
The world’s governments have supported the fossil fuel economy long enough. The problem was that electricity and combustion came online around the same time and gas power had the advantage of more quickly accessing the power and more mobility using the technology of the day. Now that we have so much more knowledge our leaders should be acting to direct us along the intelligent path instead of continuing to promote this insanity. Casually poisoning our water and the air we breathe is race insanity. When we grow up as children we learn things and change our ways to accommodate our new understanding so we can progress positively through life, like learning how to walk, talk, look both ways before crossing the road, ride a bike, etc. Why do we stop this intelligent way of progressing through life once we become adults? It is time to take our learning and apply it to progress to a positive future for us all and, if we truly do love our children, to a positive future for all our children’s future generations as well.

Customer Respect
Whatever happened to simple customer respect
Like moving aside to let the customer through
There are so many today who’ll come right at you
They won’t give way and think it’s you who should move
There are still people who’ll show others respect
But there are far too many who don’t have a clue
For someone raised proper it’s automatic
But bosses can also encourage this trait
There are too many people with the wrong attitude
Their basis belief is that the world should give way
They are more important than anyone else
So get out of the way they’re coming through
Why do their bosses pay so little attention
Have they not received any training or instructions
Are all these people simply incapable of thought
They wouldn’t want others treating them that way
When they’re out shopping they’ll expect respect
But when they’re working it’s get out of my way
They don’t even notice the people around them
And frequently back into or bump into others
They’re dangerous when swinging a broom or a mop
And if they’re carrying or pushing something look out
What an amazing world these people live in
Where the rest of us only exist during times when they need us
Like moving aside to let the customer through

Summer Fun
What joys a child in the country may have
Hiking, exploring, or just wandering about
With the curiosity of youth they’ll cover many a mile
And there’s always the adventures they’ll stop to play out
A broken down shed that may have been home to a trapper
Or maybe a prospector who was searching for gold
A rope tied to a tree branch and suddenly you’re Tarzan
Or making a bow then you’re an Indian hunting
You’re the hero out looking to save the young woman
That villain who kidnapped her is around here somewhere
Or kill the big dragon and rescue the damsel
The king will then knight me and I’ll be a hero
Look it’s a beaver pond so let’s make a raft
I’ll be Huck Finn and you are Tom Sawyer
We’ll pole around the pond enjoying our stay
What glorious luck we found this wonderful place
Without packing a lunch they’ll seldom go hungry
For all summer long there are berries to find
And if when running and playing they come upon some
Then it’s time for a feast that sates hunger and thirst
A child in the country doesn’t need lots of money
He doesn’t need theaters or coin-sucking arcades
His imagination is plenty out there in the woods
And if boredom does strike there’s always fishing and swimming
Hiking, exploring, or just wandering about
With the curiosity of youth they’ll cover many a mile

Salmonella Tomato Poisoning
The first poisonings began in April according to the data I heard on the news tonight. The US FDA says that the bulk of tomatoes sold in the US during April and May come from Florida and Mexico, yet they still do not know where the outbreak originated as of this date of June 13th. It seems there is no tracking method to make it easier for them to do their job.
I don’t know about in the US but here in Canada we have these little stickers on our individual fruit for the connivance of the stores in identifying the product brand so they will charge the correct price. I think it would be a good idea to require all single fruits and vegetables to have those stickers, and for those stickers to also identify the original source supplier of the product. Bagged products can have the data too if they don’t already. I think this would make tracking any outbreaks of salmonella and other bacteria back to their source a lot easier. In my opinion it is an inexpensive and simple solution that the politicians can require be done to help in protecting our food sources and it can be expanded beyond just fruit and vegetables.
This is just another thought from this poet fellow who likes to offer up solutions to try to make our world just a little bit better.
Just to block one of the excuses of the excuse makers who are always looking for excuses instead of solutions, I now offer up the fact that we have the technology to put a lot of data on small sources and the equipment to read that data as well. And please don’t whine that it will cost the poor farmer too much because that is just another phony excuse to do nothing as I am quite sure the people would be willing to pay the cost increase that will probably be in the neighbourhood of as much as 1/10th of a cent per item to know their food supply is safer.
If you think this is a good idea please get involved and communicate it to your politicians so it might be considered and hopefully acted upon, after all it’s your family’s health that is at stake.

Your Life's Value
What are you worth
How you value your life
Or even just your comforts
Are you worth more then others
Will you sacrifice the weakest
Simply for your convenience
And in case you might live better
Promote killing even the unborn
Are your pleasures worth anything
No matter how many must suffer
And will you poison all future generations
Claiming your need for nuclear and oil
Satan rules over the Earth now
Spewing his lies to give us excuses
He loves when we choose his ways
Catering to everything evil and vile
But God made us the same
None better than another
And even under Satan’s rule
We still have God’s given free choice of will
How you value your life
Or even just your comforts
Are you worth more then others
Will you sacrifice the weakest
Simply for your convenience
And in case you might live better
Promote killing even the unborn
Are your pleasures worth anything
No matter how many must suffer
And will you poison all future generations
Claiming your need for nuclear and oil
Satan rules over the Earth now
Spewing his lies to give us excuses

Catering to everything evil and vile
But God made us the same
None better than another
And even under Satan’s rule
We still have God’s given free choice of will
America is Lost
America was built and became great by exercising God’s principles, but now the US has thrown away those principles. All things contrary to God’s ways are promoted by the politicians and the courts. The whole community used to come together to help their fellow citizens, like in gathering together for home and barn building events or to bring in the crops of anyone in need. They used to act like family as the whole community raised all the children and were not afraid to rebuke them when they were wrong. But today it is all about catering only to the selfish me because I have the right to seek all my pleasures above the rights or concerns of everyone else.
The citizens who demand the country’s legal rights are destroying the country that has given them those rights and freedoms. People from other countries come to America and then demand the country change its laws to cater to their ways because they are a minority who should have special protections and considerations that should trump the rights of all the rest of the people that make up the country. Lies and deceit are used to promote black pride as not being racism, even though white pride is recognized as the racism it is, which further divides brother against brother. Loud minorities demand we should throw away the values of the majority to cater to them including changing the meaning of family and marriage because they say we should not discriminate against them, yet their demand is that the majority be discriminated against in their family and religious values to cater to them. Instead of concentrating on our commonalities we seek only to promote our differences. Instead of a melting pot to common unity, every difference among the people is promoted. Discrimination to separate us out from each other is encouraged instead of concentrating on our commonalities to strengthen and protect our communities. We are not promoting one people indivisible under God.
America is lost. The US is actively engaged in its own destruction. Abiding by God’s principles allowed the US to become a great country and gave the people the freedoms they now have. Throwing away those principles to cater to individual selfish greed is causing the country to fail. Man made legalese deceit and pretense is the force shaping America today. Look around you at all the threats to the US and the world. Bowing down to the democracy and capitalist gods is destroying families, communities, countries and the planet as a whole. I have my democratic and capitalistic rights to seek all my pleasures and profits regardless of whether it causes large numbers of people to suffer or even to eventually die is the religion they follow. This is their freedom guaranteed by our democracy they say. Individual freedom without responsibility is the path America promotes today.
We are not acting like a people unified under a common purpose to promote a better life for us all but are instead acting like greedy selfish individuals. God warned us that if we leave his path to follow our carnal desires then we will fail, but God has no place in America today so we will continue to blindly do as we please right up until the end.

Judge Properly
Don’t you dare judge me
You don’t have the right
God said to not judge people
So you shouldn’t be judging me
I can do anything I please
No matter what you think
And you can’t say anything
Or you are wrongly judging me
Satan loves this foolish babble
Like anytime we won’t think
He loves to twist God’s words
To his benefit against man and God
But the bible demands we judge
To distinguish between right and wrong
All people’s words and actions
We are commanded to properly judge
How can we speak against evil
If we are to not judge anything
Can we choose to promote God’s ways
If we refuse to judge differences
God is the only judge of souls
And this He will properly do
But we are commanded to judge too
But only people’s actions and words
You don’t have the right
God said to not judge people
So you shouldn’t be judging me
I can do anything I please
No matter what you think
And you can’t say anything
Or you are wrongly judging me
Satan loves this foolish babble
Like anytime we won’t think

The Mortgage Crisis
No one should be stunned that the mortgage crisis is continuing. The banks have been selling sub prime mortgages for years, not just the past few months that they have been switching to their higher rates that are causing the failures, so those mortgages will continue to kick into their higher interest rates for years to come to continue the defaults. Add in the fact that those defaults affect the values of properties around them which will continue to push other people into just walking away from their homes. Add in that so many good paying jobs are being exported to countries like China and India so a lot of us locals can no longer afford to make our mortgage payments with our lesser paying jobs when in all likelihood our home is not worth the mortgage we hold on it anyway. Add that all these job losses causes a reduction of local spending which results in even more local people being laid off which increases the competition for the fewer available jobs and you get a continuing cascading effect from all these forces. Now add in the job losses associated by the high cost of gas and oil that affects the costs of all products to this mess and you have another factor that will ensure this will continue for a long time. Let’s include the foolish use of food crops to be converted to fuel to burn which will add additional costs to everyone’s food that is already going up because of higher fuel costs anyway, and that also adds to the worldwide loss of available food to feed us people of the world. These are but a few of the many factors that will continue to drag down the US economy and threaten the future of the country.
Politicians can only see as far as the next election and for the most part haven’t any training in any field that would help them to understand anything other then how to babble deceit to get reelected to continue feeding off the public trough while pretending they are superior to the people who are the country. They have been kissing the backside of special interest groups for years to get their funding to run their next election campaign, and many of them are always engaged only in electioneering during their full time in office. Consider the large number of lawyers who are politicians and how their trade is exactly the same which is the babble of deceit to confuse the issue to win regardless of the costs to others or to the country as a whole. It is always only about them.
So long as we worship unbridled democracy and capitalism instead of God we can only expect more of the same. When you see something is not working right and continue to ignore it instead of fixing it then only blind fools will expect things will somehow change for the better. If our vehicle brakes don’t work right do we ignore it and expect things will get better? God gave us an excellent brain and it only makes sense to use it. We should not continue to encourage the lowest worldwide found rules to regulate business because it is proven that a lack of concern for life and our environment is the result. The wealthy and companies should not be allowed to continue the casual destruction of our world and people’s lives just because they are called businessmen and capitalists. Catering to selfish greed has proven to be a failure so it is time for frameworks to be designed for people and companies to work within, something that maybe we’ll choose to call governing.

Promoting Racism
Why is it that when blacks vote over 90% based on race it is called pride but if the whites did the same thing it is called racism?
Catering to people who are constantly promoting the race difference between us is racism. Imposing quotas based on race is racism. We denigrate all blacks by implying that they are less then white people when we enforce quotas to hire them based on their race instead of their intelligence, experiences, or ability. Why should white racism be promoted under the pretence of correcting for the black racism of the past? Racism cannot be stopped if all we are doing is changing the group that we are currently promoting racism against because all this does is fan the flames to further encourage race based hatred. And why should we punish a white person for something he/she was not involved in years ago and pretend we are making up for a previous injustice? Abusing an innocent person or group today does not make up for the abuse of a different innocent person or group years ago. Going after people and companies that promote racism hatred is slow but the only real way to fight racism.
Can you imagine what would happen if a group tried starting a White Entertainment Television or otherwise promoted any white race based group? It is time the Media and politicians quit catering to the blacks who promote race differences but they are too afraid of the power those people have to organize large groups of racists to protest against them, and because they have convinced themselves that helping promote black racism, that they call black race pride just like white racists call their ways white race pride, somehow helps the poor pitiful blacks. If they really want to help the poor mostly black neighbourhoods then they should be race blind in their group names and simply help the whole neighbourhood of people instead of encouraging continued anger among the races by those who are seeking to blame and strike out at someone for their suffering.
Using the past as an excuse to continue racism in a new form doesn’t help any of us. There is no excuse to promote a group separate from the rest of us based on colour. We should be promoting how we are all alike, which is our desire to be able to enjoy a decent life and raise a happy family, not looking to separate us from each other based on such pitiful differences like skin colour.
If I have offended any racists, of any colour, tough!

Teaching Our Youth
Why are we not teaching electricity creation and concepts, and coding programming methods in all our Grade Schools? Please don’t reply with the usual poor excuses as the question is rhetorically asked as an introduction to this teaching concern.
What does this teaching lack bode for their future to compete in an increasingly fast paced high tech world? How about their and our short term future? Our people’s skills must be always, and quickly, updated to keep up with and to create the new technologies used and wanted by the world of us.
Their world is full of electricity, and electrically powered and programmed devices. They will more easily fit into their world if they are given an early introduction into understanding as many of their world relevant subjects as thoroughly and quickly as they can. As technology progresses the skills for the new technologies should be taught to all our children and the necessary equipment for study and experimentation should be made available to them as soon as possible, considering copyright and other protection concerns. An example is to also now include light fiber laser manipulation methodologies and the generally understood light frequency reflection and passing theories that have been used in mass communications delivery for many years now, to further relate and make relevant their education to their world of now and the future.
It would also be smart to teach money management extremely early, as this is a very important skill requirement needed for a better chance of success in their personal and business lives. An easier way for most people to learn math, or other subjects, is by applying the teaching to real life needs and interests so the learners will have an easier way of grasping the concepts through association usage. Even in school new technologies or concepts can emerge as various types of thinkers are introduced to greater amounts of the knowledge we currently have, and even the very young can have a leap in understanding that will usher in the wonders of the future.
Do we want our schooling of our children to be relevant to give them a better chance to have a decent and successful life? The more they know about their environment, and that includes the financial needs and technology in their environment, the better chance they’ll have to survive in and contribute to their society. We should prepare them so they will be able to move more freely between the many employment changes they will have to address during their lives as they strive to be more valuable employees and contribute to their society.
We need for our children to receive the best education we can think of so they can invent and produce the technologies of the future, and so they can better ensure the continued viability of our communities by their success.

Reducing Gas Costs
The best way for us to permanently reduce our gas costs is to reduce petroleum demand worldwide, and the real cost is not just the current fill-up value at the pumps but also what it costs us and the planet in getting and using this energy source.
It makes no sense to go down the additional polluting path of increasing petroleum refineries, and of pumping out and shipping around these large volumes of oil to cause further destruction to our environmental requirements for life.
The more non petroleum electricity we produce for all our power requirements the less the demand for oil sourced power will be. And ensuring local communities have their own power sources will provide a level of protection for these communities against excessive fuel cost increases and any disruption in their power sources from outside influences.
Can you imagine walking around your community without having to breathe in the foul poisonous fumes of vehicle exhausts? We could live like that if our leaders choose to promote it. This lifestyle will help reduce many health problems and help reign in health costs increases also.
We need to remember that our country and world are made up of small communities. All these communities need to be nurtured and protected because together they make up our cities, states and countries. Local community security is not just about guns or borders, as things like local employment and energy are also very important. The best protection for our local community is the protection of all the communities around us as well, and many communities everywhere in the world would benefit from having their own local power sources even if just to provide their drinking and crop irrigating water.
We need leaders who will protect us from threats and lead us intelligently through our lifetime and into the future. That is why we choose leaders, make councils and create governments.

It makes no sense to go down the additional polluting path of increasing petroleum refineries, and of pumping out and shipping around these large volumes of oil to cause further destruction to our environmental requirements for life.
The more non petroleum electricity we produce for all our power requirements the less the demand for oil sourced power will be. And ensuring local communities have their own power sources will provide a level of protection for these communities against excessive fuel cost increases and any disruption in their power sources from outside influences.
Can you imagine walking around your community without having to breathe in the foul poisonous fumes of vehicle exhausts? We could live like that if our leaders choose to promote it. This lifestyle will help reduce many health problems and help reign in health costs increases also.
We need to remember that our country and world are made up of small communities. All these communities need to be nurtured and protected because together they make up our cities, states and countries. Local community security is not just about guns or borders, as things like local employment and energy are also very important. The best protection for our local community is the protection of all the communities around us as well, and many communities everywhere in the world would benefit from having their own local power sources even if just to provide their drinking and crop irrigating water.
We need leaders who will protect us from threats and lead us intelligently through our lifetime and into the future. That is why we choose leaders, make councils and create governments.

Where's the Logic?
The US economy is tanking because of things like the large number of unemployed and underemployed, the recent housing mortgage fiasco, the weakening dollar, and higher oil costs.
How do the US leaders address these many threats?
They give a little of the people’s money back to them to pretend they are doing something to stimulate the economy, bail out the first big economic powerhouse that falls, then scatter more borrowed money around while lowering the interest rate to make the dollar even less attractive on the world market.
The country has a problem? Throw more money around. The future looks so rosy now.
If we do not produce, what props up the dollar’s value?
The $160 Billion could instead put tens of thousands of people to work in manufacturing and installing non-oil power generation systems across the country. A byproduct of this kind of action will be a major reduction of US foreign oil dependency while helping the fight against global warming as well. Add a general infrastructure stimulus bill as well and the country will be far better off then it will be after giving a small amount of money to individuals.
We have the resources.
We have the technology.
We have the unemployed.
We need to reduce money and resources leaving the US and create wealth right here.
Where is the political action?
I have posted some blogs, on sites like the two below, addressing a path the politicians could take to stimulate and protect the US economy. Sadly, I doubt the politicians will change their blind course and the US will continue its race towards a major economic crash.

The Iraq Tragedy
The attack into Iraq was swift and well done, but no plans were made for after sadistic Saddam was removed from power.
Without equipment, supplies and people landing to assist in helping the Iraqis immediately in starting the rebuilding of their country the Iraqis were instead left to sit around stewing in their misery which allowed the anti-America forces to gain unrestricted access throughout the country. If there had been any intelligent planning on what to do after wresting control from Saddam’s forces then the people would have acted against those who wanted to come in and cause problems in their country instead of turning a blind eye to them.
President Bush and the UN argued over who would create the Iraqi government while they totally ignored the plight of the people. That is not what liberators act like, or even what a smart conqueror would do. How could they have not realized that they must address the plight of the Iraqis if they wanted to stabilize the country? The first few days gave proof that the Iraqis first welcomed the US troops, but that advantage was lost when the US offered up nothing to improve their lives.
The same lack of insight in understanding, or maybe simply a lack of caring about, the plight of the people is causing the failure of the US today as well. How can anyone honestly think that exporting the good paying jobs of the country’s people, without replacing them with equally valuable local employment, will somehow help the country? And allowing businesses to do anything they please, like the financial institutions abusing mortgage lending practices that promote the failure of those mortgages, is further proof of incompetence in governing.
President Bush’s government is throwing money around like a madman and enacting policies that destroy the economic stability of the country’s masses, yet all his “experts” fail to see the coming fall. The US needs a government that realizes that the people, the masses not the few extremely wealthy, are the country. If the masses fail financially then the country fails too.

Recession
Is the US in a recession? I think the worst is yet to come.
The American dollar is becoming a liability. The smart money is switching to the Euro.
Soon the world’s big oil suppliers will demand oil be priced and paid in Euros instead of the continually faltering American buck, and we’ll have to buy imported oil using Euros because no one will want to get stuck with US dollars.
Still the US legislators insist on throwing $160 Billion foolishly into the market as a pretended economic stimulation package, instead of using the money to promote the country towards a financially stable footing by requiring the money be spent in specific US markets that will stimulate and protect our economy.
People without good jobs can’t spend the money our country needs to sustain our consumer driven society or pay the taxes our government needs to operate and pay its bills, so we have to create many new jobs to replace the large number of good paying jobs that have been moved out of the country. And the more locally produced power we create the less oil we’ll need to import to meet our needs. It can’t get any simpler than that. These two simple factors in an equation that will help protect or destroy our economy, depending on whether or not we properly address them.
The $160 Billion should be mostly spent to promote local business and employment growth in local energy creating, and some other infrastructure works as well. It wouldn’t require waiting until May to create economic activity and the money would be already spent promoting the US economy before the $160 Billion is given out by the government under the right plan.
The US has little time left to protect against the economy tanking big time.

Our life and future
The security of the country is the first job of our governments, yet our governors have superseded the steering of our lives to anyone with enough wealth. All the wealth of the country is being sucked out to appease the greedy, including our jobs now being sucked out of the country, because no one is responsibly governing the direction of our country. The politicians make promises to help and protect us yet allow the private sector to govern our future once they get elected to office. I thought they applied for the job.
Our lifestyle requires lots of power and there are plenty of local power sources for us to tap but our non-governing governments have failed to steer us to this security. Wind power use had been around for centuries, and electrical production through the simple rotation of a magnet to induce current has been known for over a century, yet our direction for power sourcing was steered under the control of the wealthy and shortsighted to the massively polluting use of coal and oil.
Our whole lifestyle is under threat by the greedy and shortsighted. The people are the country and are deserving of basic human protections. All our communities, large and small, need to be defended because together they make up the country. If these communities have their own power sources then foreign powers couldn’t shut them down so easily. Our cities cannot survive without electrical power. Defense is first and foremost the protection of these many communities that make up our country, because if they fail then the country fails.
Guess what? Providing this security will give lots of local people employment, which is also needed for a country’s security. If we people don’t work then the country creates no wealth to do anything, and look at how much we owe now with so many of our jobs lost too. Free trade is stupid trade, whether within the country or outside sourced. Capitalism has to be controlled or the vile and shortsighted will cause destruction to the people and the planet that is why we elect people to govern us in our democracy.

The US Stimulation Package 2
The politicians seem to think that simply scattering a bunch of money around will promote the "US economy". Too bad politicians don't have to pass a competency test before they get their hands on taxpayer money. Simple logic proves how reckless their action was.
If a pile of checks are sent out, then a huge chunk of the money will go to food and inexpensive goods (Walmart type stores), and to expensive life-style buys (overseas supplied too).
The employment in other countries will be given a massive assistance by the purchases coming from the “US Stimulation Package”.
The politicians would have done better by, for example:
1 Giving out $billions in food stamps that get spent locally and help the poor. This returns more than $1 into the community for every food stamp dollar spent.
2 Setting aside $billions more to extend Unemployment Insurance that also helps locally. Include retraining assistance to help them get employed into a changed work environment.
3 Include using $10-20 billion for maybe clean fuels research, or redesign rebating to clean up dirty coal power plants.
4 And by taking a whopping $100 billion of it, and telling the American public that the money is up for grabs for the full cost of their purchase of installed operational wind and solar power collectors, of all sizes, on a first come first served basis. Exclude large power farms from this stimulation package but not the bulk purchases of with-in city limits units that cities may wish to install. Many American people, cities and companies would jump in to get their chunk of the $billions.
Engaging these few things would cause instant effects and the money will be invested to promote the “US economy”.
The continuing effect would be us becoming world leaders in these and other clean power technologies, many Americans finding permanent good employment, the US becoming a little more energy secure, and investment in the US stock market would also be assisted upward by the effect of American companies gearing up for the manufacturing, sales, and educational needs.
Giving the poor, unemployed, and low paid people a few dollars won’t help them or the economy. The permanent availability of many good paying jobs would be better for them and the current middle class. Sort of like being given a fish as opposed to being helped to become a fisherman.

The US Stimulation Package
If the politicians choice of how to proceed with protecting the country’s future, our lives, is to simply throw out a bunch of money and hope something good happens then this does not fit with God’s way of His helping those who help themselves.
God gave us a brain for us to use it.
He forgives us for when we were unaware, but our choosing to not follow His way once we know better is another matter.
We were informed that we should tend this Earth garden, and look at it.
We have additional knowledge that allows us to choose the intelligent path and we could then promote our better life to the world, but the time for us to choose to act correctly is running out fast.
I offer one idea to stimulate the country while adding protection to better secure our way of life, under “North American Threats” at:

Threats to North America
There are several threats to North America that need attention, and a solution to ease all of these problems is technically sound. The physics have been proven, and used, for decades.
Energy independence is a necessity for the security of North America. Security is not just about bombs and borders. Our civilization and economy are under threat from actions by big businesses, other countries and radical groups.
Pollution has to be brought under control. The private sector cannot be allowed to continue to poison our planet for their quick dirty profit. Man-made greenhouse heating is a byproduct of our unrestrained polluting.
Local employment needs a boost. Too many of the good paying jobs are leaving North America. We need new products to manufacture and sell.
Those who don’t want change would like us to ignore a more intelligent way of living, and they are benefiting at our expense. The government is afraid of change in case they may lose a tax source, and they receive a lot of their political money from big businesses.
The U.S. will spend more than $1 trillion in Iraq to, supposedly, secure America’s oil energy needs.
Now consider a product that can address all these needs. A product that would create jobs ranging from mining and smelting to sales, manufacturing, installation, maintenance and education.
We have all heard of the large amount of energy that will be saved by switching to energy efficient light bulbs. Well consider if wind generators, of many sizes, are promoted to be built and installed everywhere. Homes and businesses could have generators to assist in meeting their energy needs that are also hooked into the grid to add to our available power, and these will protect us locally during blackouts. A single backup gas generator doesn’t supply the full power requirements of a home, nor does a single wind or solar collector need to. Cars were not as energy efficient when first introduced as they are today, and these power collectors will also improve in efficiency over time.
Farmers in need of extra income could receive assistance to install the larger wind generators, one or more, on their property instead of gearing up to use food crops as fuel sources.
The government should aggressively promote hydrogen powered vehicles also, by ensuring hydrogen can be accessed as easily as gasoline is.
Oil has pollution in everything about it. Look at the roads after a rain and oil is everywhere.
The government must stop catering to big businesses and wasting tax money to prop up the oil industries, and must instead address the threats to our planet and economy.
The political candidates should promote a path into our future, not just babble vaguely about working on these threats to North America. The economy, energy and pollution must be addressed now.
