Did you ever wonder why we keep getting told that more and more things are hazardous to our health?
You think that perhaps it is because they care about our health individually.
Nope, it is all part of the attempt to build business and make money from the public.
You take lead, now do you know anyone who has ever been hurt from eating paint off of the window sill? Oh, you did! And how many were there?
You see, if you can be convinced that lead in the paint is dangerous to you or your children, you will find that business pop up out of nowhere to remove the hazardous stuff from your home at a cost of $10,000 or so, and if you sell your house you have to remove all of the lead.
Now do you see why there is so much effort to tell you that lead will hurt your children?
Next we take electric light bulbs, we have to remove them because the contribute to global warming, and the world will die in 100 years. Ok! But then they want you to use CFL lightbulbs which are dangerous and reguire hazardous material handling if you break one.
Well, that lets the business men bring in CFL flight bulbs from China, and make money, and also lets the hazardous waste material handlers make money from handling the bulbs.
Now how long have we had those big flouresect light bulbs in stores, businesses , and courthouses, and have you ever seem those buuilding being treaated for hazardous waste in the past. Nope.
Not until they found out about hazardous material handling and the way to make money.
There appears to be no end to the people who want to declare something hazardous so they can provide you with ways to remove it and they will only charge a handfull of bills to correct the problem.
I could go on and on, and tell you my opinions about this stuff, but I assume you may make your own decisions.

Are guns the problem, or is lack of guns the problem
One of the problems with being law-sbiding citizens , we believe that it is our best interest to obey the laws as we believe that the government might know what is best for us.
But,you see, there are wolves in among we sheep, and these wolves want our fleece as they don't grow fleece, so they must fleece us to live.
Now when you are over powered by numbers , or weapons, you will give up your fleece, but if you have weapons that might deter the wolves they you might get to keep your fleece.
But that requires that you have a weapon that will scare the wolf, and you must also be prepared to use that weapon to defend your self.
Otherwise , such as happened recently in Norway, a wolf will get among the flock , and , when rabid, kill until stopped by force.
If the government , in its infinite wisdom, decrees that the sheep shall ot be allowed to carry weapons for defense, the only protection against the rabid wolf, is the government forces, about 1 hour away!
So, the point is, that the sheep must be allowed to carry weapons , not to defend themselves from sheep, but from rabid wolves.
If this allegory is too difficult for you to understand, it is simply, Kill or be Kill, and it should be your choice, not the governments.

casey anthony and the human public of america
Whether the jury was right or wrong, makes not difference. The defendent is presumed innocent, until convicted in a court of law. That is not the court of public opinion, folks, it is the court of law!
If you, in your brilliance could see beyond the presented evidence and show that that evidence showed that murder was committed, you waited too long , didn't you?
Now the defendent is free , and you , at least some of you, are chanting" to the gallows" without any evidence of how the child died.
What is it that you have forgotten the mainstay of American law is that the crime must be proven, and yet you want to throw a stone in to the proceedings.
In fact, the problem lies in the media, where the geniuses sitting in chairs in front of a microphone claimed , stated, and averred that she must be guilty of murder.
Even after the verdict they make the same claims and statements.
Heaven help us!

The Real Benefits of muncipal financing
So, here comes the CCA advocating that the city join in a congregation of citys to establish their own little power system, and that it will be cheaper as it will be not for profit.
Yeah right, not for profit, except for the new staff and systems to compete with PGand E.
Of course, it is only good if the municipalities finance everything, and you know the municipal money if free, as it only comes from the taxpayers, and not from the filthy investors. You know, those ones that build stuff and make money.
And, of course, it will be preceeded by an un-biased study by the CCA which is surely a good source of information. And their consultants will peer review the project. And their consultants are no-bid consultants.
But, it will increase the purchases of green power from power suppliers in Sonoma County.
And that is all to the good, except they say the project could go into a death spiral if the customers opt-out of the CCA,
Well , I don't think I will be supporting it, as it say it might save 5% on PGandE bills, but will cost the municipalities to pay the bonds, if it collapses.
Oh, well , politicans know best, don't they?

ah, the magic of municipal financing1
This week in Santa Rosa, Ca. the city council held a closed session on labor negotiations, and when I spoke on the subject the city council censored the video on-ine and ommitted the Start of the Meeting, the Roll Call, the Report on closed session, and my comments on the labor negotiations.
The city council must be really afraid of showing the public what members of the public want to tell the City Council.
it is amazing that politicans say they want public input , but, they sure as hell don't want the public to see any of the comments or show them in the minutes.
what ever happened to Honesty in Local Governments.
I guess the Progressive Agenda is in effect in Santa Rosa.

How the US Navy is slowly being disemboweled by the politicans
From the USNI blog at http://blog.usni.org/2011/06/26/guest-post-viewed-from-the-deckplates/
A sample:
"The Balisle Report recommended that over 6,500 billets be restored to the fleet. Only 2,200 were approved, with another 3,900 slated for FYDP accessions. The fine print never makes the headlines in All Hands, or the Navy Times. At this time we are told to cut the Navy by 9,000 Sailors. We have to cut solid performers who happen to be in overmanned ratings, while we should cut those who don’t meet standards, or are marginal performers at best. Why must we do this? Because personnel costs, and the billions of healthcare dollars those personnel require for readiness and recovery, are “eating us alive.” Leadership chants the mantra of “people are our most important resource,” but the reality of where the Navy is putting its money is clear. The Naval Vessel Registry lists 245 active hulls as of June, 2011. The same registry lists 268 Flag Officers: 243 Active, 22 Active Duty for Special Work, and 3 Full Time Support. Last time I walked the Naval Station piers, only three ships had broken an Admiral’s Flag at the masthead. Merging Second Fleet into Fleet Forces Command is supposedly one such “cost savings” designed to optimize the Fleet. But, no Flag billets were harmed in the merger. With President Obama announcing a drawdown of 33,000 combat personnel from Afghanistan, and Congress clamoring for further cost savings, it is only a matter of time before budget pressure on incoming Secretary of Defense Panetta turns the magnifying lens on our “greatest asset,” Deckplate Sailors.
And this is what the politicans do!

At Last, the solution for the countrys financial problems
Mny people have wondered how it all happened , and here is my take on it.
In 1966 , or so, came the advent of universal credit cards, where people could buy things and put it on credit at the bank. Now the banks , at that time , would charge a small interest rate, of about 8-9%, and collect a 3% fee from the merchant.
Very well accepted by the public, as they could not foresee the future, where the interest on the credit card went rampant, and fees on late payment went up.
This had two adverse effects, it took money our of the pockets of the buyers, and it took money out of the pockets of the merchants, until the credit cards payments overwhelmed the buyers. Then the credit card companies started offering them to everyone, and everyone took the bait.
Now the public is stuck with the tremendous credit card payments , and that is affecting the economy as the money is going into the banks and not coming out
The solution may be to impose a credit card interest limit of 105 on credit card balances, and , in the interest of the economy, phasing out credit cards over a 5 year term, making the public switch to cash , or check, economy.
It would not eliminate credit purchases, but just make the buyer secure individual loans from the lenders for their purchasers, or from the vendors.
Won't be acceptable to all, but nothing ever is.

abortion, or no abortion?
Would it be better to pay $500-$1,000 for an abortion for a person who needs it, rather than $1,000 a month to pay for the mother and child after birth?
Oh, it is a human life and has to be protected? How? By using someone elses money to raise and pay for the mother and child!
I never hear the anti-abortion offering to pay for the life of the child and the mother, but they want the government to do it, because the government money is free!
I have asked numerous people how much a human life is worth, and they say pricelss.
And then when I ask them why they have money in the bank when they could be saving humanlives, I get no answers.
Government money is not free money

So, lately I bought this little beauty, Of course, I don't know what it is other than it is a RF communications, inc Controllr. Looks like a crystal controlled 10 channel transciever using 3 6146s in the final.
Still have no power supply for it, don't expect to get one soon, but it is fun

The failure of AG's to prosecute crime in MERS
It seems that some strange politics are in play with the AG's of the US with their failure to prosecute the crimes that were apparently happening in the financial field of home mortgages.
Is there some sort of bargaining going on that the public is aware of.
Oh, I know that the AG can not take on the personal cases of the individuals, but , surely, there is nothing stopping them from filing criminal actions against the individuals who committed crimes in their financial transactions.
Or is it that if they file the claims too many financial institutions will collapse as the management is cited for criminal fraud or similar.. And how about the notaries, and the people who forged the notarized documents.
No answer forthcoming from the Cal Government, or the US government. Oh, the cite cases were small fry were punished, but the percentage of cases filed , seem to be a small fraction of the possible cases.
Just watching hearing where an investigator said that of the 14 large mortgage servicers examined all of them were not doing a good job.
And there solution is to make sure it gets better in the future and not look back at what happened in the past.
Pass the shovels, it is all getting buried with words.

What is there about Politicans that make them hide from the public
Having been alive now for 88 years, I think that the one thing that politicans do not like , is a person asking questions that require an answer. No matter what the problem is, or the question being asked is, the politicans seem to believe that no answer is necessary.
Seems to me that politicans have been advised by their respective attorneys, that questions need not be answered, only official inquiries for public records need be responded to.
When a city council has a meeting, regardless of the subject matter, and the length of material presented by the staff, that a citizen can only comment on the matter for 3 minutes, or the arbitrary limit in time set by the rules.
That way the City Officials are not burdened with a lot of information that requires reply and can just do as they wish. How many times have I sat through a meeting and watch the city council listen to the public as they read the staff reporrs, and then do not respond.
It seems that they do not want any discussion about the problems, just want to take the words of the staff as gospel.
You would think that people in those positions would realize the the presenter for the motion almost always have financial things in mind when the talk, and the public might be the only people who can contradict the other side. Ah, but that would require consideration of the views of the public.
Need I repeat my self.
