Medical marijuana, how strange

Here in good old California they have medical marijuana so that if you have an ache, pain, angst, bad feeling, need, you can get the docs to give you a prescription of medical marijuana!

then you can go down to the outlet and buy the weed as you need it!

Now that is really funny, as there is no FDA approval for the drug prescription, it is grown in fields, harvested , dried, packaged, sold , and you have absolutely no idea of its actual sanitary condition.

Now that is okay for marijuana, but God help you if you want to buy a manufactured drug from Canada for a serious condition, that my friends, is against the law, because the FDA can not control the production of the drugs.

And is there any sense at all in this situation?

Occupy whatever!

Do these people really think that a mass of the people can do a darn thing as a mass of the people other than moan and groan about conditions in their lives.

If they want to do anything they have to organize and developer leaders then follow the leaders, Ah, but the trouble with that is the followers have never been able to control their leaders , have they?

The leaders take control, organize the system, take their prominent positions in the system, and then start to loot the system to enhance the power of the leading class.

And then one leader leads the leaders and controls the who governmental system and the political system , and the financial systems, and the followers pay their tribute to the leader and adore their leader, who freed them from the nasty capitalists and provided them with jobs in the coal mines of Germany, Italy, or Russia!

And they think that this is FREEDOM, as the leader will provide for the masses and control the rich and take all of the wealth from the rich, that are not part of the system, take from the middle class, and give it to their supports.

Hey, you don't believe this, look at what will happen and remember I told you so.

harrassment, what is the world coming to.

Sexual harassment! Is there a Man in the USA, the World, who has not sexually harrassed a female! Hell, in San Francisco you could get harrassed by a man if you were a man, by a woman if you were a woman, and that was considered normal there, but probably not in the real world

I suspect it part of the unwritten laws of society today to demasculize the male, masculize the female, join them all together in one gender , and solve the world population problems.

Why are they attacking Herman Cain for doing what men are supposed to do, and then ignoring Obama for doing what men are not supposed to be doing?

I guess there is something in the water, or the booze, or the politics of the USA that is confusing.

If you have never harrassed a female, and you are a male, please explain why you have failed the duty of men!

LOL

Politicans and economics.

watching a member of the House of Representatives lamenting the housing crash and the economy crash state that the people losing their homes to foreclosure were losing their wealth, and it was costing the country trillions of dollars.

Folks, those people that lost their house had no wealth to lose, in most cases. If you buy a $500,000 house and borrow $450,000 to complete the transaction, you have a home that costs you $30,000 a year for payments and a tax of $5,000 year that will continue until the home is destroyed.
It will cost you $6,000 a year to maintain it, and if you want to sell it , it will cost you $30,000 to sell it if the value has not gone down.

It is just like buying a Rolls Royce, you will feel great buying it, but keeping it going will be expensive.

Now if the Real estate marks takes a 10% dive you will take a $50,000 loss and that will mean that you will have no equity in the home, and no wealth in the real estate you own.

You will be better off to turn in the keys and get rid of the dept, and perhaps wind up with a small net worth. If you try to sell it you will be in the hole for another $25,000 and be deeper in the debt hole.

The trouble with buying a $500,000 house is that you will have to furnish it, meet the standards of the neighborhood, and , in general, spend a lot of money maintaining your feeling of being a millionaire!

Gun Control and the rest of that stuff

The opponents of guns consider them lethal weapons, but don't seem to understand that they are not the only lethal weapons.

Look at the young folk throwing rocks , or molotov cocktails, are they not lethal weapons?

Must be because they are the weapon of choice for many. So, why are there so few arrests and convictions for those actions.

Oh, guns are really bad! Heck, there were more people wounded than killed by guns.

Oh, that is bad, people were wounded, horrors.

Just wait until you get hit by a big rock, or a molotov cocktail. You might prefer to be hit by a bullet!

But, watching the Philadelphia Police Chief say they were worried about danger to the officers if people had guns. Now that is really strange as all of the officers have guns and he is not worried about them.

But, but, but, his officers are trained in gun control. Hmmmmm, I wonder what the percentage is of people killed by ccw holders, and police officers.

Oh, you know the police officers never commit domestic assault, and never have anger , or rage, or anything else , but the ccw carriers are noted for their inability to control their emotions.

I have the solution, let everyone who wants to carry a loaded weapon, and let the resultant carnage eliminate the people who are not capable of carrying a loaded weapon safely.

Execute murderers, rapists, and terrorist and save the nation now

Life and death, another point of view

You must be aware that there are 5Billions people in the world, and if the average life expectancy if 50 years that that would mean that 100,000,000 a year die.

Or about2,000,000 a week!

Ah , the beauty of numbers, and yet, the news media has great success telling us that 7 people were shot and on killed on any specific day.

But the ignore the other 1,999,999 that died that same week,

Are we so blaze that we can ignore the other deaths, or is it that these deaths are of a greater significance than the one shot in a store.

Or is that the media does not want the public to know how frail the world's population is, or is it because they want to emphazise the value of one human life.

But then maybe it is all a figment of my imagination!

Clean energy updates, Craziness?

they hope to update 9,000,000 home in the next 9 years. Or about 1,000,000 a year.
In California
they anticipate that there will be a $500 charge to the home owner for analyzing the needs.

That means the home owners will pay $500,000,000 per year to the company proposing the retrofits.

Now , if they are hoping to update 1,000,000 homes a year, and the average cost would be, say, $10,000, that would mean that $10 Billion dollars a year in expenses.

Now if the Government gives credits for the work at 50%, it will cost the State 2.5 billion a year.

Oh, now they are talking about the banks lending the money to the users, and it might run at 19% interest on the loans.

And they want private money to get into the act.

And still no estimates of cost benefit analysis being performed.

What I want to know is why anyone thinks that this is a good deal.

Or, as I have consistently said, never believe the facts that a person, who is selling something to you, presents to you as proof it is a good deal.

I have trouble understand why people believe that the government should finance this sort of stuff. If it provides a substancial benefit to the home owner , or the the business, why wouldn't the person finance it themselves, without money from the government.

And you wonder why the government is growing and costing more and more each month.
