Did Cross Eyed Scott Walker Misread his own commercial?

I saw a commercial by Scott Walker today where he said that one program would have cost our state 60,000 jobs and another 40,000 jobs.  Did he really mean to say that those new programs that would benefit all of us would have cost the taxpayers the bill to pay for the 60,000 and 40,000 new jobs that would have been created?
In effect is Scott Walker vetoing Wisconsin jobs because they are paid for by the taxpayer and not business?  If so, Scott please veto your own and your bid for candidacy for Governor.  Scott whether you know it or not all jobs in Wisconsin are paid for by the taxpayer.   And the ones you and your party seek to eliminate cost the taxpayer more in the long run.  Maybe if you were not a college dropout you would be able to figure out why this is true.
Why do Scott Walker and the Republican Party want to eliminate jobs paid for directly by the taxpayer?  Because they cannot effectively manage these jobs and they are not as easily managed and manipulated by the constituency of money that backs the Republican Party.  The Republican Party today is the party that would like to create a Wild West out of the United States of America, where few are educated and the blunt logic of six gun rules.  Do not wait for this to happen anymore, vote against them now.  This country was not founded on the principals of today’s Republican Party and they have greatly weakened us.

Did he really mean to say that programs that provide for cleaner air and water make the State of Wisconsin a healthier place to live and that attracts jobs to the State and that is why he did not approve of the 60,000 and 40,000 jobs that would have been created to address this?
I watched his cross eyes read the teleprompter in this commercial and I am quite sure that he missed a few words that changed the meaning to the exact opposite of what it should have been.  You could not pay me to take him or Dick Cheney with me bird hunting.
If he cannot read the meaning on his own teleprompter do we trust him to write the next term of Wisconsin’s future as Governor?

Scott Walker Should Be Charged With 67 Counts of Sexual Assault

If someone named Norman is running a motel and they let their pet crocodile in the room of a guest and close and lock the door on them.  Are not they guilty of murder and rape and whatever their pet crocodile does in the room?  In this case 67 cases of sexual assault.  What does Norman do afterwards?  He pets the crocodile, with the profile name of Hitchcock, washes him off and sends him to feed somewhere else.
Why do Scott Walker and the Republican Party want to eliminate jobs paid for directly by the taxpayer?  As is evidenced by the case of the Mental Health complex they cannot effectively manage these jobs. 
 Scott Walker is the equivalency of Norman Bates.  Do we really want to trust this crossed eyed college drop out with the keys to our Motel Wisconsin?

If Scott Walker were to be Governor of Wisconsin I am headed to Canada

If Scott Walker were to be Governor of Wisconsin I am moving to Canada immediatly!

Scott Walker want to declare what mental illness is and choose who must be medicated personally.  What he does not realize is that his lazy left eye qualifies him as being brain dead on one side of his brain.  Who does not want to know what is going on in that one side of Scott Walkers brain that is dead. 

Scott Walker put yourself on medicine and give up your run for Governor.

Scott we both know that your dead eye qualifies you to be on medication.  Now go take some immediatly and check into your favorite clinic with those women you will be free to abuse and those men you can get in que with.  As far as we know you will be number sixty eight on the list for your turn buddy.

Look inside your heart and put yourself on medicine immediatly that dead eye means you are mentally ill.

I see how you tried to hide your dead eye by using a fuzzy glossed over filmed commercial, like they used to do to hide Sybil Shephards bowed out cartlidge of a nose.

Scott I see that you are trying to hide that dead eye and any sign that you are not normal in your commercial.  Scott that dead eye tells us that one side of your brain is also dead.  Look in the mirror and try thinking with your heart.  Give up your bid for Governer.  You have put Milwaukee through much horrors, first with your closing of the County Parks and now with the mental health complex scandal.  Do not bring more of your horror to the citezens of Wisconsin on a broader scale.

Noone in this state would ever want to be in the shoes of those at the mental health complex you were responsible for.  Get with it you have lost the womans vote alread, well at least you have lost 67 votes already from the women that were housed at that complex. 

But look on the brighter side you probably got 67 votes from the men at the complex.  What does this tell us about you and your constituency?  Look inside your heart Scott Walker, you are not fit to Govern.  I do not know how you ever made it as far as you did.

You say if just one person with mental illness were to slip through the cracks that would be intolerable. How could you ever be able to see that one person that slipped through the cracks with that dead eye of yours.  Look closely in the mirror Scott.  Look closely in the mirror Scott.  There you will see the person that slipped through the cracks.

Look deep inside your heart and you know that this is the best thing for you to do.  Look at what you have been accussed of by the popular media and look inside your heart and see what that tells you.


That would be a good thing for me anyway because Canada has great natural resources that have been untarnished like those in the United States by irresponsible Republican agendas only concerned with their own pocket books and status quo.

Everything Scott Walker has done and intends to do reminds me of the Bibles description of Satan.

The Republicans have done everything in their power to divert resources from good of the people in this country and into their own pocketbooks.  Why?  Because they have easy lives and head starts as they steal souls.  Everything they have done is counterproductive to the government process.  They have ruined our education system.  They have polluted our environment.  They have made people mentally ill and profited from them.  They have promoted wars in favor of development of alternative energy.  They have thwarted all mandates for higher MPG cars.These are their true agendas, that of Satan.

Only when someone takes a stick to them and prods them and aggravates them do they get in line and do the will of the people.  Does this remind you of the brat or bully at school that prevented everyone else from learning.  This is what the Republicans and Scott Walker are, a distraction to the progress and VISION of this country.

Many cases of mental illness in this country are indeed caused by evil Warlocks that usually wear patches over one eye.  Scott we know who you are, do not be afraid to wear your eye patch in public.  This will hide from the public the rotting idled evil sick brain behind that eye.


God Bless Those Who Truly Think of Others and Not Just Say That they do in Ruined Retrospect.

Bad bus kids and heroic father 09 22 2010


The other day a father got on a school bus and yelled at some kids that were abusing his daughter with cerebral palsy while on the bus.  The other kids had been poking her with a pencil, etc.
This father blew his cool.  And I know that he yelled and screamed at these children.  This father needs to be released if he was imprisoned for this.  The Mayor should give him a medal for addressing an issue that needed to be addressed.  Milwaukee public schools should issue an apology for bringing him to the state of being whereby he would blow his top.  The parents of those children stabbing his daughter need to apologize to him.
This is the fallacy of the George Bush no child left behind policy.  The ones that needed to be left behind and the ones that are a distraction to the others in class who are trying to learn.  In this case they are the ones who would stab you with a pencil when you are mentally challenged.  These sadistic children can be taught in a cabbage patch behind George Bushes house his wife Barbara and gee wouldn’t Sarah Palin make a good teacher also,
This is what privatizing systems of society and government often gets us, criminal irresponsibility.  That bus driver should have at least made disciplinary body aware of what was going on. I realize that bus drivers do not have the degree and knowledge that a principal has.  If a bus driver were to tell a principal of this what would the principal say, “It was not on my watch?”  Do a test Milwaukee.  You know what action you would have to take when you find unfavorable outcomes.
Incidentally what these children did to the victim of cerebral palsy is the same thing that brazen young men and women raised to learn Satanism do to victims of what they would label and incorrectly stigmatize with schizophrenia every day in our country with the use of non-lethal weapons.  Believe it.

Abuse by District Attorney Ken Kratz 09 22 2010

There has been a story in the news lately about a District Attorney that was sending harassing messages to a battered woman.  For those of you who need to be refreshed about what a district attorney is, he is a Lawyer for the Public and he is paid by the taxpayers.  It was said that her complaint went before a committee of lawyers and was dismissed. In this lawyers basement was a picture of a leather sofa.  To be quite honest it looked like the basement of a pimp.  A pimp who indoctrinates women into prostitution on this sofa. 
This is what happens with a Good Ole Boy network is filled with evil men of no personal or moral accountability.  Men who care nothing to abuse our system of law and government.  Men paid by the taxpayers.  To me it looks like there is more going on here in terms of you scratch my back and I will scratch your back in favor.
This lawyer needs to be disbarred and every member of the committee that reviewed the battered woman’s complaint needs to be disbarred too.  And furthermore harassment is a crime and somehow in this case the adjudication of harassment needs to be enforced at a level higher than a misdemeanor.  When an entrusted member of our society, a member paid by the taxpayer acts in a way whereby he uses his position to commit a crime that goes directly against the nature of his responsibility and commitment to the country it is a much larger crime than if they did not hold such a position and committed the same criminal act.  In addition to the crime committed it is also a form of betrayal and tyranny.  Let the punishment fit the crime.  Betrayal of our society, this is like racketeering where you can confiscate all their money and EXPORT them.  Ken Kratz makes a good case for SPECIAL EXPORT.
Why do I say export?  Because there are a lot of crooked lawyers in our country with idle minds living on windfall profits and they do this country no good whatsoever.  Crooked lawyers have fueled the decline of the United States in this manner by subverting our legal system and country structure and governement, they are the backbone of all organized crime.  When crooked lawyers get disbarrred they never do anything good afterwards for our country.  What they are often hired to do we can consider soul stealing.

Light Houses of Soul Extinguished or Why the Arab World Hates Us 09 12 2010

Light Houses of Soul Extinguished or Why the Arab World Hates Us 09 12 2010

Why did Jesus Christ freely accept his death on the cross?  Because he was demonized and no longer felt like a human being.  After all he was hated by the Romans and his own people.  The Jews betrayed him and sold him for thirty pieces of silver.  Which they then divided amongst themselves.  He no longer had anywhere to live, there was no place for him to be free, and there was nowhere to enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.  Nowhere.  He had no friends, he was betrayed by them and he knew it. 
The United States of America is supposed to stand for, Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.  But to one percent of us who have had their souls stolen and then labeled as mentally ill, it isn’t anymore.
Where did our souls go if they are stolen and we still live?  To the young and old who practice witchcraft under the guise of religion and psychiatry. 
How are our souls stolen?  By brazen women and the “men” they control who chant to us psychically and drive us out of our minds until we cannot think well anymore.  Today they augment the stealing of souls with the use of nonlethal weapons that are subliminal to the rest of the population.  That means they fall just below their level of sensory awareness at the threshold. They use these to torture people to the ignorance of everyone else innocent.
Is it any wonder the Arab world hates us?  The Quran is said to have good things and praises Jesus Christ.  And in the bible belt of the United States we heard of a religious figure that wanted to burn it. 
The Arab world does not hate us for the philosophies and ideals this country was founded on, they hate us for what we have become- a country that is a factory or system to grow, steal and sell souls.
Why do they steal and sell souls? I always ask myself as I know it is true.  The only answer I can think of is that anybody who would do this would have to be Satan.  And Satan is defined as having no soul and being able to read men’s minds. 
Whether the Satan amongst us ever had a soul that he then lost, I do not know.  The Bible seems to imply he/she was always soulless. 
I tend to think Satan might be a whole different species or race that cannot think for itself and uses those it victimizes as a father figure to think for them and imprint the thinking patterns of their young.  Did Jesus know this too and this is why he went willingly to his death, out of love for them?  These last two statements seem to hint that we should have sympathy for the Devil.
Where the Mongolians really mongoloids and this is what the race of Satan truly is under its skin?  Or through some manner of gene expression does Satan lose his soul naturally as he ages.  Gene expression is triggered by many influences.  I know that some lose their souls by attrition from Satan.  Did Satan lose his soul from attrition too, an attrition that altered his/ her gene expression?  I do not think this is true because those who have had their souls stolen would never seek to do the same to others as they are horrified by the crime against humanity.
Satan needs to tell the world why he is soulless if he can do so.  He needs to come forth and ask for forgiveness this time before he leads us to the end of the world.  Satan needs to confess.  And believe me; the diverse group who orchestrates the ways and methods of Satan knows who it is.
The group of Satanic members needs to express why it practices such hateful acts against fellow human beings.  Not just for its victim’s sake but for its own salvation.
There is one group that consists of two constituents that did not believe in Jesus Christ, and one sold him to the other who crucified him.  If we don’t believe in someone, someone that is innocent of sin, is it right for us to strip them and murder them slowly in daylight for all to see?
When they steal your soul they can then label you as incompetent, or having the inability to spend your own money or take care of yourself.  Then they are able to take control of you money for you.  Not to mention every intellectual construct, property or idea you ever thought of.  The perfect crime. 
Was there a devise Satan had for rich young Arabs studying in this country that then immediately turned on this country and then say that it should be destroyed?  Where these Arabs contacted in some way to joins forces with Satan, only to look at Satan in abject horror.
What would a rich young Arab man think if he met a brazen woman that sought to dominate and control him through any means available to her?  A brazen American women who was probably wrestled down a few times in her life against her will and now turned coward and agrees and believes in hurtful and stealing acts in order to get ahead instead of standing against them. 
If you think of it in these terms the hatred the Arab world has for America today becomes more understood.  And I know that it is not all Jews and Italians that do this because some of them are victims of it too.
Organized crime in this country was formed by the handshake of a Jew and an Italian, the same ones who jointly crucified Christ.
Tell us why you steal souls!  Confess your bad behavior.
Tell us why you seek others a light house of soul?  A light house you then seek to extinguish.

A letter that I sent

7/3/2007
The Honorable Russell D. Feingold
United States Senate
506 Hart Senate Office Building
Washington, D.C. 20510-4904
Outmoded Patent Law and Democratic Capitalism
Dear Sir:
     In order to prevent this country from losing ground to foreign countries in terms of technology and low cost manufacturing we must maintain an edge to keep our economy strong.  I feel improvements are needed in our patent laws to allow this democracy to capitalize more quickly on our American Ingenuity.  These ideas would also serve to bring us more closely together as a society and further the spirit and interests of this country. 
Here is what I propose and the related draft provisions:
1.       If you do your research and buy shares of a public company that markets or produces a product that is similar to a new design or new idea that you have you should be allowed to submit a new design idea or uniquely patentable you feel is patentable to them, without having to have them sign a confidentiality agreement, while  they would still by law be bound by a new confidentiality law to be outlined below.
2.      They would be required to notify you of receipt of the idea.
3.      You should provide a legible diagram and why you think it would sell.
4.      They would have a 30 day period to either accept or reject.  Upon acceptance they could pay a fee or more shares as the initial consideration for the idea.
5.      Upon implementation of the idea they would again pay you a royalty based on a fixed industry standard of the gross sales price in the form of either cash or more shares.
6.      Upon acceptance they would agree to take steps within a reasonable period of time (i.e. ~ 1 Year) to patent it.  This would be a new “type” of patent, to be labeled a beneficiary patent.  The structure of the patent would be them as the “owner” and you as the “beneficiary owner”.  The beneficiary owner’s interest would be inheritable or pass down to his heirs.  Even after the patent expires the “beneficiary owner” would have a “royalty” as long as the product is marketed.  If it is stopped and redeployed later the “royalty” would resume.
7.      If they reject they must state why and confirm that they will never use it or benefit from the idea in any way.  
8.      They may also buy a nonrenewable option for the period of 60 days for the purposes of further consideration.  Any other nonrenewable options of this sort further granted by the inventor would have an escalating price making “sitting” on the idea expensive
9.       I.e.: If they reject your idea in accordance with the terms of rejection t
10.  They can neither sell it to others, divulge your secrets nor market it. 
11.  If they rejected your idea and they were contacted sequentially before another firm that you contacted upon their rejection.  They should not be able to later use, make or for a lack of a better word “plagiarize” your idea.
12.  Children, who often have good ideas, could submit ideas with parents or guardians help and signature under terms that would not be nullified and voidable by them, to protect business interests.

Many of us buy products and waste time, money and frustration on them and see how they could be immediately improved in order to save the time, money and productivity of others in this country.  We also see our ideas come to bear in society long after they should have been.  Often the people with the best ideas are often afraid to express them or pursue their interest in; this may help them do so.

Sincerely,

Thomas Paul Murphy

GM and Ford Plus Everyone Else 09 10 2010

Two of the Largest Manufacturing Companies in the United States came under government oversight and ownership.
Obama if Ford Motor company has an Eco Star motor coming out in 2011 that will get 30mpg and be able to tow 3500 pounds, that is a very strong motor that is also  highly efficient.  GM ought to use the same technology via a favorable license fee.  In many industries license fees for sharing technologies are an insignificant cost on the income statement.  These are still both viable American manufacturing companies.  Better mileage and less emissions of all cars produced and sold in the United States benefits the health of our environment, people and economy.  More efficient engines mean less pollution.  LESS POLUTION MEANS CLEANER MINDS. 
Sharing of best energy efficient technologies between two of this country’s biggest polluters that the government and the people foot the bill for in terms of retirement guarantees and environmental cleanup should be mandated at structured license fees mild terms in this instance
This is a much different earth than it was some hundred years ago when the auto industry was founded in this country.  As a matter of fact if you are a foreign automobile manufacturer and you want to sell your more efficient cars in this country you should also be subject to sharing of technology via mild license terms for the health of our country the United States of America, does indeed depend on a strong and viable manufacturing industry. 
Also if someone has a patent regarding technologies that can improve automobile efficiency the mandated sharing via mild license fee should also be mandated.  Inventions for the greater good should not be allowed to be held for ransom and they should also not be given away or stolen.
AFTER ALL WE CREATED THE AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY IN THE FIRST PLACE
LESS POLUTION MEANS CLEANER MINDS

The Lutheran and other Religious Leaders 08 31 2010

The Lutheran and other Religious Leaders 08 31 2010

I was demonized by a pair of Lutheran Ministers yesterday as I was trying to type in a story about nature.
Martin Luther preached from the Bible.  But the Bible can only define him as the Devil.  The Devil is said to read men’s minds.  The mark of the Devil is said to be sodomy.
Why do we give tax exempt status to organized religions in this country when they cause more suffering and costs to our country than anything else?  They demonize members of the country that are not even part of their religion.
The principal tenet of the Lutheran Religion is that you can do anything you want in life as long as when you die you ask to be saved.  What would you say to God at this point forgive me lord because I acted like an animal and not a human being.  What do you think you will then be in your next life?  You will not be resurrected in the form of a human being, but in the form of an animal you sought to be.
The religion actually promotes the complete lack of consciousness for your actions.  Having a conscious is one of the traits that separates human beings from animals.
So here we have a religion that believes and promotes the idea that a human being in reality is no better than an animal.  A religion that constantly forgives without pentanence, reflection on how one could have done things better.  There is the total lack of any sorrow for the evil that its members do in this world.
A religion whose priests preach from the Bible and they themselves are defined by the Bible as the Devil.
Was the initial purpose of some religions’ to form a click that indemnifies business and individuals for lack of good behavior?  A business that promotes bad people and gives others a hell fire speech for something trivial?  A pseudo means to control those that you do not care for, for the benefit of you and your own group’s personal gain?

Why do we give a tax exempt status to a religion that does more harm than it ever does good?  Why do we give a tax exempt status to a religion that promotes sickness and crime?
The reality I speak of is one ninety percent of the population would not be aware of.  But if you were a victimized by them as I am you would see that they do not belong in this world.
The Bible states that even your family will be turned against you but if you believe in me, Jesus Christ, you will be saved.  This is Gods way of telling you that what you are experiencing is so foreign to those considered normal that even they will not believe you.  I am speaking of having your soul stolen and being labeled something lesser in society, mentally ill.
I would like to see religion stand for what it is the promotion of good behavior.  That is not what it is today.  It is used to leverage business, political parties, and steal souls of the intelligent.  It is a façade all of these hide behind and use in defense and accusation.
After two hours of having two tag teams of Lutheran ministers interrupt and drive me out of my mind while trying to type in a beautiful story about nature that I wrote, I finally took a sense of pity regarding them.  Like crows circling and menacing with a great eagle they were.  A sense of sadness came over me for the evil sickness and weakness that they were.  I realized they could not control what they were and saw them as the ones who suffered for being something of a lesser race of human beings.  Something that was trying to learn to be what I am.
Sadness came over me, at which time the two ministers got up and walked outside to leave.  From outside the one just looked me straight in the eye through the clear view of the window as I did him.  He saw how I pitied him for what he was and I realized that was what he was seeking to accomplish.  An understanding from me that he deserved mercy and my sorrow for him.
In my life I have always had the policy of not making friends with those who bully you.  The reason for this is because how much do you think of yourself if you give in to those that seek to hurt you.  If you give in to people like these will they not seek to hurt you more?
I will send this article to him and ask for a response that is absent of rhetoric to what he thinks of his behavior and what I have to say about it.  Needless to say after they left my typing went faster.   My typing is superfast right now.
I believe this religion defeats the potential and good of people by labeling them and human beings as something that really has no control for their actions anyway.
And I was glad to see that part of the Lutheran religion has broken with the rest over allowing gays to be ministers.  The reason why this should be is very apparent to me.
If you read this be thankful that you aren’t something less of race or indeed an incarnation of Satan.  A being that has little cognitive ability and whose life centers only around evil sexual gratification.  These people cannot resist temptation to be something less than what their potential in the image of God is.  Be thankful you are not something that cannot help itself for doing evil.  Be thankful you are not a lesser male that can read men’s minds.  A more correct alternative phrasing would be, “Be thankful that you are not subject to the will of the minds of human beings that are indeed men.  Be thankful that you do not have to practice such witchcraft to fill the void of your soul.”  These people have a deficit of cognitive function and their verbal ability and thinking is dependent on those they have victimized.  They are dependent on those whose souls they stole.
You’re not going to like this next statement but sodomizing gay males are not men.  I am not a homophobic.  I talk to and treat all people, and I will define people as those who were created with the form of man to walk on two legs, with respect and dignity.  And this might seem to contradiction to what I have written before but it is not.  Homosexuals were created from the witchcraft process of stealing souls.  I would like to see a world where the pain of lost souls does not find its way to create homosexuals.  This means a world of fairness of opportunity.  A world of equality.  A world absent of nonlethal weapons and the undue influence the devil uses them to create.  Today the Devil uses nonlethal weapons to silence and kill those who know of his existence.
One look in the eyes of the minister told me that he believed that he could not help that he caused suffering in others, so he might as well try and do it anyway and even try and enjoy it.  Thanks, we really need people like this in our communities.  Men like this sought to be something else in life and now try and make less of those they envy.  They now indeed work for those who prevented their success in life.  They have made friends with those who have bullied and victimized them, and are now part of the similar effort against others of innocence.
The evil contradiction of hypocrisy of what I thought the Lutheran Religion to be as a child, a belief that I was bamboozled not to believe, is more true today.
I do not like writing this stuff and if you didn’t bother me when I was working on my writing that I consider more beautiful, I wouldn’t have to write this.  But I indeed know the devil like it when I write of his evil that is hidden to the rest of society.
These people shamelessly live of the souls of others.  Once another speaks against them they come out in droves and attack to drain that soul and life to zero.
And if you think that I am not being fair to religion, would you leave your boy for day care with a priest accused of molesting and abuse?  Do not leave your soul to the fate of the Lutheran religion either.  You will not be resurrected as a human being after you die, you will come back as they animal you always tried to be.  That is the poetic justice of God.

God Bless Those Who Think For Themselves

Ten Fingers and Two Thumbs 08 28 2010

Ten Fingers and Two Thumbs 08 28 2010

That is how it was taught when I went to school.
On the health show broadcast on the radio this morning a Doctor quoted the facts that there are 30 deaths a year from Salmonella poisoning versus maybe four a year from snake bites.  What is the moral here?  That you should be more careful in your grocery store than when you are hiking about out in snake country!
The same Doctor told how we really don’t know how kidney stones are caused.  He attributed it to bad luck.  He quoted the fact that kidney stones are ninety six percent calcium.  I have often asked myself what is said to be in Cola drinks that dissolves calcium and leads to osteoporosis; phosphoric acid.  I have ordered Orthophosphoric acid from Vitacost and plan on adding a little to the water that I drink to see if it will help dissolve the stones.  I would drink the cola but it is high in sugar and sugar in addition to phosphoric acid is a good way to remove tooth enamel.  Phosphoric acid listed for sale on the internet is mostly an industrial cleaner.  I didn’t buy that.  I bought a food grade product like that you see on the label of some Cola’s.  I will let you know of my results.

In my mornings Investor’s Business Daily Newspaper there was an article about how a Combat Medic saved the lives of men in an ambush zone in Pakistan.  His name is Sgt. Joseph Lollino.  He provided first aid and formed a human shield around members of the convoy hit by a rocket propelled grenade and also returned fire until more heavy artillery arrived.  My father was a Combat Medic in World War II and in Korea.  How many of us would like to have a person of the integrity and character of one who would risk their life to save yours as your doctor.  I would like to have a person of such integrity and character as my doctor.  In fact why not make it a requirement that all Doctors are required to serve in active duty in the Military before they are allowed to practice in our country.  Would this not lead to better doctors and a more efficient health care system?
I will go a step further with this thought as it would apply to lawyers also.  A lawyer ought to do something that the public recognizes as good before he is allowed to practice law.  Wouldn’t this lead to a more honest and crime free society?  A healthier society to live in?
I also read that BP Amoco wants to retrieve the blowout preventer from negligently operated Deep Horizon oil well.  To do this they would have to uncap the well again.  They are likely to break it again and take attention away from any meaningful progress to our country.  In another paper, The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, I read how most in Louisiana feel that President Bush did a better job of handling the Katrina disaster than Obama did handling the undersea oil well disaster.  It has been some five or six years since the hurricane.  If my memory, which is better than a fed fat elephant, serves me correctly, people were living in cardboard shanty camps.  There were mobile homes lined up to let them stay in and they were vacant because no one would let anyone use them.   And President Bush would not build any permanent break wall that would protect the State of Louisiana from another Hurricane of such magnitude, the money and attention was all diverted to the Oil War.  Are Bush and our “Stone Wall” conservatives waging a war against President Obama by putting forth such a pull that makes a very unfair comparison?  The article even states that some of those who participated in the poll have not even gotten back into their homes today.  Does this sound like a biased poll?  BP Amoco the straight line successor to Standard Oil should be prevented from tampering with this well ever again.  In fact if they want to tamper with it again they should be made to wait until the beginning of another Republican Presidency, that is how confident I am of their misplaced intent.  I will go a step further and say that they are again a monopoly and should be broken up like the Standard Oil Company was decades ago.  They wield their power irresponsibly for a company that plays such a large role in our countries energy policy to the detriment of our environment.
The Republican foray into politics is always the promise of lowering taxes.  Any idiot that assumes Presidency of the United States of America can lower taxes with the stroke of a pen.
Before Doyle leaves the office of Governor he needs to provide us with a list of accomplishments for his successors to follow.  Two that we can attribute correctly to him that are prominent to me today are the statewide ban on smoking in public places and mandatory recycling of electronic items.  The latter prevents other states from dumping them in our landfills in Wisconsin.  Those who love living in Wisconsin often attribute this to our Natural Resources.  Other states use our landfills also.  Do we really need Illinois dumping waste and foreign carp in Lake Michigan?  Do we need waste from the affluent suburbs of Illinois potentially polluting our water table and natural resources?  Let them figure out how to dispose of this in their own state.  Wouldn’t that make one of the financial hubs of this country a whole lot more responsible.  Won’t this recent ban on landfill disposal lead to products that work easier and last longer, in a word quality?  Should Wisconsin be the dirty mop and water of Illinois?
Republican Behavior.  The nature of irresponsibility is accusing someone of being responsible for something they had no responsibility for.  This is not how solutions are made and implemented.  And because blame is initially misplaced, solutions from this ideology are doomed to failure.  Solutions based on misplaced blame are not solutions. They are the delusions of ineffective Republican Party and its Presidents to the detriment of our country.
The Friday August 20th 2010 edition of Investor’s Business Daily quoted President John F. Kennedy on Continual Learning, “The greater our knowledge increases, the more our ignorance unfolds.”  And the Thursday August 19th edition created Earl Tupper the founder of Tupperware as writing, “Remember, the things which are so commonplace today would have been the ravings of a fanatic a few years ago.”  And a historian Alan Axlerod commenting on Democratic President Grover Cleveland, in the Friday August 27th, “He knew capitalism depends on honesty, that it can’t survive amid rapid corruption.”   In the Thursday August 26th issue the Newspaper informed me that, “To get to their favorite fishing hole faster, Arthur and pal Bill Harley mounted motors on their bicycles in 1901.  A descendent of the Harley Davidson family, Jean Davidson was quoted as saying, “If the Harley-Davidson gentlemen with their strong Scottish work ethic were alive today, they would never allow skull logos on their bikes.”  I think they would also go to great lengths to improve the image of Harley-Davidson to exclude biker gangs.
Harley Davidson is considering moving manufacturing operations out of state.  Wouldn’t it be nice if companies were able to make their products in a plant site that could handle all operations?  Wouldn’t there be less transportation costs?  Wouldn’t there be less misalignment of parts issues? Wouldn’t there be less logistic issues?  Wouldn’t there be higher quality if the company were able to contemplate and implement a manufacturing solution whereby it would not be relying on seasonal labor?  Wouldn’t there be less issues of quality if employees were assured they have a job that pays them for their skill level for at least a full year?  Isn’t that a contradiction to the standard of the Harley worker to say that a seasonal worker could do their highly skilled jobs?  How are contradictions that are unresolved fulfill themselves?  Will they have issues of quality that will damage their competitive position in the marketplace if they use “seasonal workers”?
My mother told me a story about a friend of hers in a small town who did seamstress work.  The seamstress was getting very old and one day a man came and picked up his hemmed up suit, looked carefully at it and paid for it.  When the women went to look at her sewing machine she realized that there was no thread in the machine or in the needle.  She had may no alterations and yet the man paid her anyway.

Nostalgia of Diplomacy 8-20-2010

                    Nostalgia of Diplomacy 8-20-2010
       In this day and age President Kennedy’s administration stands out to me. He had great ambition. “We will go to the moon,” he said on black and white TV.  He said it confidently and we did.
       Then there was the Bay of Pigs incident with Cuba. He sternly stopped the USSR from mounting nuclear missile silos off of our coast line and posing a threat to the United States. Makes me wonder where the former governor of Texas was regarding Mexico.
        I cannot think about President Kennedy without thinking about President Carter. How he went over to the Middle East and made peace between Sadat and Begin. We have not really seen a peace making diplomat of that character since. Most people would scoff if you said a president of the United States once make peace in the Middle East. In today’s world it seems unimaginable that such a mess has been created there. Osama Bin Laden studied in the United States. What could have made him hate us so much?  Did he have a run in with a would be priest? What alienated him?  What made him hate us?  Did someone try and steal his soul?  I would be duped by him because he doesn’t look evil to me. In some pictures he looks like an Amish farmer innocently proud.            
       I will say this about what I see in him. There was a character named Francis in an Arnold Schwaznerger movie or maybe it was a Bill Murray movie, “Stripes”? He was skinny and had a tension of anger in his blood.  His line was “I don’t want anybody touching me.” To which someone replied, “Lighten up Francis”.
       We have all known men like this in our day. In high school we called them “hard asses”- someone ready to snap with a tension wire in their blood. It seems to be a self propagating tension that is hard to ease from. Something that eats away at a person from the inside, a restless fire in the blood and head, an inability to relax in thro the start in our dealings with oil nations we needed to hold tight on foreign trade presence of certain others.  Once a hatred like this has formed, it does not settle easily.  It would seem to me that we are too far along in the history of mankind to be waging such hatred.
      Some young people look to the actions of those that came before. They see the bravado of victory and that is what they want to be.  That is what they want to emulate in experience. Some people learn through reason, knowledge and experience. And some buy the manikin suit off the shelf and are “monkey sees and monkey does.”
     The command of the United States military forces and our economic policy regarding other countries in not something to be taken lightly.
    We have relied on the natural reserves of foreign countries for resources for too long.  When you know you only have so much syrup, honey, cider, mead, and w coffee, whiskey in the cellar you ration it and boil water while you look for a substitute. We have known since the Carter administration that our cellars were finite. But we have not rationed and we have not looked for alternatives.  We have dealt with other countries of lesser standards and now in turn we have lesser standards. From the start in our dealings with oil nations we needed to hold tight on foreign trade arrogated at least tried to put forth our standard of living in some form, leading by example to other countries.  We could have made suggestions such as “Saddam, if you keep torturing, we won’t buy your oil.”  Wouldn’t it be nice if we were in a position of strength to deal with foreign nationals this way?
       Nixon-Watergate
      Ford-The pardon
      Reagan- Iran-Contra
     Bush-foreign policy led to war
     Bush’s son-By passed the will of the people- The Arab world thought the same about him as the Democrats did. “How weak is the democratic process that the son of a president be the next president?” What do Americans truly value-nepotism?  What message did the election of George W. send to the rest of the world? Something they didn’t like about it and involved the world trade center.   I am speaking out of turn for the Arab world.  As any US soldier stationed over there will tell you-“opinion polls of individuals are unreliable”.
       In some film clip from Osama Bin Laden, I remember someone asking him what he thought about the looks of an American woman. He shook his head with a wave and smile and said "NAH” He with his many wives knew something we didn’t at the time.  What did he know and what point was he trying to make?
        Will we be able to make peace with the Arab world? Just for a change, I would like to see a discussion of how this could be done.
       I took my nephew fishing Thursday. He said to me, ‘I would have liked to have been there when the Statue of Liberty was first erected by the French, to see the golden colored copper shining, glistening in the sun.  He got me thinking about what you could coat copper with to make it stay golden.  A clear coat that slowly erodes without peeling and needs to be reapplied every so often. Then I sensed that a Republican Administration would cut funding to recoat it. And then I said to my nephew, “wouldn’t it be nice if some day an Arab world build a second Statue of Liberty with permanence on our west coast”?
        God Bless those who dream in optimism!
       I am driving home from my secret writing oasis in the rain. It always rains when I am mad and then somberly sad. I reflect on the 1998 Buick that I am driving, how I changed the oil two days ago. I ponder and wonder how many young American men ever have the skill to change their own oil today. It must be a lost art. I notice that the car runs a lot smoother when I greased the ball joints and tie rods. New cars have seal joints and are not greased and tuned. I wonder if they could ever be retorqued as a matter of importance. Sometimes a groove can wear in a joint and when it is retorqued the joint fails because it binds and breaks at the groove.
      The car I am driving was built in 1998 and cars of the same brand today get no better gas mileage.  I wonder again who is responsible for such progress?  Progress an impossibility for one faction to conceptualize
This is how I ended the essay earlier before I left my oasis.
 At the table to the left of me in the basement of my writing oasis sat three men smoking a hookah pipe. It smells like asbestos to me. When I left I jovially asked the three who although brown olive skin colored, one had the exact same face as the chief inspector who opposed the French Chief Inspector Cousteau in the Pink Panther movies.
He knows he looks that way and is acting way a giggling crazy laugh with his hand covering his mouth, just like the acting of the Chief Inspector.  Darting nervous eyes.  And I know that he knows that I know that he is acting silly that way as if he is the Chief Inspector who has lost all his nerves and is stir crazy.  A Chief Inspector defeated by what he considers and will always consider a dimwit.  Why did the dimwit win in the movie?  Because he was of honest and pragmatic intent and not contriving to spitefully best a coworker, I have always reasoned.  One would stab you in the back and one would never conceive of it.  I don’t know myself how it would be to look like a famous person.  If I did suppose people would tell me I looked like so and so, and I might even try to impersonate so and so.  Sometimes adult want attention just as children do, I was done writing and stood up.

“What kind of tobacco is that”, I asked.
“Its molasses”, he says and the three smile.
“Like what you buy in the grocery store?”
“Yes” One of the three says and they all laugh.
“What does it do for you; does it give you a lift?”
“No, not really”
“Then it is just kind of a social “ I offer to their answer.
They agreed and I chimed in “A Molasses Social” What am I to say- I felt welcome at the Molasses Social.
God Bless Those Who Dream In Optimism
