We all seem to know it's there but what's being done about it

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch, also described as the Pacific Trash Vortex, is a gyre of marine litter in the central North Pacific Ocean located roughly between 135°W to 155°W and 35°N to 42°N.[1] The patch extends over an indeterminate area, with estimates ranging very widely depending on the degree of plastic concentration used to define the affected area.
The Patch is characterized by exceptionally high concentrations of pelagic plastics, chemical sludge, and other debris that have been trapped by the currents of the North Pacific Gyre.[2] Despite its size and density, the patch is not visible from satellite photography, since it consists primarily of suspended particulates in the upper water column. Since plastics break down to ever smaller polymers, concentrations of submerged particles are not visible from space, nor do they appear as a continuous debris field. Instead, the patch is defined as an area in which the mass of plastic debris in the upper water column is significantly higher than average. (Wikipedia)

I've watched seven of the Republican debates (ok, maybe six. but I do record all of them with perfect intentions of viewing them later.....but sometimes later just hasn't arrived)....and I haven't heard any mention of this massive ecological disaster taking place in the pacific ocean.

Supposedly it's twice the size of Texas but maybe even bigger when width and depth is measured.

THE MAIN PROBLEM IS.......IT'S GETTING BIGGER and people in power positions and people who want to be in power positions don't seem to be bringing it up......EVER.

I read the other day that there is four times as much plastic in the ocean as there is zooplankton.

I guess anything that outnumbers jellyfish is ok with those vacation seeking politicians. After all none of them have ever been stung by a piece of plastic.

BUT WHEN THE PIECE OF PLASTIC BECOMES THE SIZE OF SOUTH AMERICA, THE UNITED STATES AND CHINA COMBINED....THE BITE WILL PROVE TO BE COMPLETELY FATAL.

Now it's time to suggest a few solutions.

Laser beam disintegration seems logical

Large trash compacting ships makes sense

I do know that nothing will be done until somebody with a lot of vocal chops makes it a pet issue.

I can't even name a musician who has championed this cause....and jumping on this bandwagon would seem to be a perfect vehicle for numerous voices.

IT'S TIME TO DISCUSS THIS ISSUE ON A GLOBAL BASIS AND A REPUBLICAN DEBATE WOULD BE A WONDERFUL PLACE TO START.

What do think the odds are for anyone in the Republican party bringing up the issue of a giant garbage patch in the middle of the Pacific Ocean?

I'd put those odds at about a million to one.

The trouble also being.....

I don't seem to hear too many Democratic leaders addressing this problem.

Maybe they are all in cahoots and what we are witnessing is the construction of a new plastic land mass in order to connect the continents of North America and Asia. A plan devised by the oil companies so that cars can travel back and forth between Japan and San Francisco.

Maybe Donald Trump is behind it to create the Pacific Trump Highway.

Maybe

Maybe

Maybe.....

the human species is simply not paying attention to certain problems that are created by certain consumer habits.

Gotta give Santa Monica kudos on the plastic bag ban.

It's more than any politician, musician or sports star is doing.

Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen might be the only celebrities I've heard mention it.....oh yeah and they live in Santa Monica.

THE CITY OF SANTA MONICA SHOULD MAKE A WEEK DEDICATED TO THE ISSUE

OF..............

THE GREAT GARBAGE PATCH disaster.

I THINK I'LL WRITE THEM A LETTER..........oh yeah

I just did

And one more time we played around with Bill

Yesterday we held a Celebration of Life for my Dad, Bill McAlevey, at the Westlake Golf Course.

The Celebration took place about 75 feet from where he got his only hole-in-one at the age of 85.

It was casual and relaxed and some precious moments of Bill's life were shared by family and friends.

It's pretty hard to summarize a full 92 years of life in a few hour celebration, but everyone seemed to enjoy themselves in an atmosphere that Dad would have appreciated.

No ties, good food and a few stiff drinks to say goodbye......oh yeah and two renditions of Bill Bailey by the entire gathering.

Thanks to everyone who attended and thanks for caring about him.

Hit it straight, don't cheat and keep proper score because it all matters later, and later comes sooner than you think.

A life worth remembering was a life worth living

William Anthony McAlevey

“Bill,”“Red,” “Dad,” “Grandpa,” “Papa” passed away on Wednesday, January 18, 2012 at St. Joseph’s Hospital. Bill’s oldest son Jerry was at his side.

He was 92 and had a full and wonderful life.

Born in St. Louis in 1919 to Clare and James McAlevey, Bill was one of seven brothers. Jim, Tom, Bob, Ralph, Richie have all passed away. Raymond “Cup” still lives in St. Louis and is the remaining brother.

Being one of seven brothers growing up in the Depression taught Bill the importance of hard work and discipline which would serve him well until he finally retired at the age of 85.

Joining the Marine Corp in 1942, after moving to California and working at Lockheed, Bill met Meredith Mathews at a USO dance and they were married during one of his early leaves. He then shipped out and four years later left the Marines as a Staff Sergeant. He and Meredith lived in Hollywood and had two boys, Jerry and Tim, while he tried to make a living as a photographer. As with many marriages after the war things didn’t work out and Bill’s first marriage ended. There was a serendipitous moment that occurred in his photography studio when two young brothers named Al and Len Aaron came in and tried to sell him a wedding album that they built in their garage. Bill’s photography studio wasn’t doing that well so he simply asked how many of these could they make, and the answer stimulated Bill and he said, “I can sell these for you, start making more.” A short time later Bill asked Al and Len if they knew anywhere to get picture frames because that was something photography studios didn’t have. And that’s how Aaron Brothers started.

Bill became the Vice-President in charge of the Wholesale Division and Al and Len started developing the retail chain. For the next 30 years Bill ran the division of Aaron Brothers which became a major player in supplying framed artwork to the Home Furnishings Industry. At one time he handled an independent sales force of 40 men and women and oversaw showrooms in five major Furniture markets across the country.

During that time he remarried and had two more boys, Richard and David, and then in 1961 fell in love for the third time and married Claudia Smith. They have been together for 51 years and have two daughters, Laury and Marilyn and one son, Steven.

In 1981 Bill bought the wholesale division from Aaron Brothers and changed the name to Spectra Galleries where he continued to compete in the home furnishings industry. In 1997 he altered the business model and ended his wholesale experience but started a retail custom frame shop in North Hollywood, which he ran until closing shop at the age of 85 in 2005.

Bill was an avid golfer and since 1960 has played with his best friend, artist Bill Blackman. Over the last five years, three of Bill’s sons joined him every Tuesday for a round. He had his only hole-in-one on the 9th hole of Westlake Golf Course at the age of 85. He often said how enjoyable it was to be able to play golf on a regular basis with three of his five boys. He also was very proud that he consistently shot his age or less.

Bill was an actively proud verbal member of the Republican Party and loved the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim baseball team.

He is survived by his wife Claudia, his brother Raymond, his children Jerry, Tim, David, Richard, Laury, Marilyn and Steven along with ten grandchildren and numerous nephews and nieces.
His sense of humor, his honor and his honesty were legendary among his family, friends and associates.

He will be greatly missed by everyone who experienced his unique “personality.”

There will be a Celebration of Life at Westlake Golf Course on Sunday the 29th of January at 12 noon. Dress like Bill would.....causal and relaxed.

I sure wish he had made 100....0r 110.....but will settle for 92 and a half.

1919-2012.......a full life with many life's left behind.

Love you Dad......see you on the other side.

unbelievable

Somethings are just unbelievable to me.......

Some Hummingbirds can flap their wings 4800 times a minute.

Pete Rose is not in the Hall of Fame.

There are 200 to 400 BILLION stars in OUR Milky Way Galaxy.

Reese Witherspoon does not have my cell phone number.

An Italian Ocean Liner can hit a reef after traveling the same route 52 times a year for 11 years.

Politicians really do think we should believe what they say.

Some people keep saying that Kobe Bryant has gotten old.

The Los Angles Dodgers might fetch $1.5 Billion.

The Republicans really think they have a chance to win the election.

Eastman Kodak stock is .51 CENTS a share and they own hundreds of digital patents.

Google is $624 DOLLARS a share and they have never charged US a penny to use their

core product.

The United States spent 4 TRILLION DOLLARS at the retail level in 2011.....in America.

Over 600 MILLION people do not have access to toilets in India.

The number of people going to bed hungry in America every night.

That a Mormon could run for President without showing us the "Golden Tablets."

So many unbelievable things.

Michael Timothy McAlevey

A list just because

The top ten bands of all time....not in any particular order.

Beatles
Rolling Stones
The Who
Band Aids
Glenn Miller or Benny Goodman( depending on who you talk to)
Queen
AC/DC
Journey
The Band or The Doors or Aerosmith (depending on who you talk to)
Led Zepplin

The top ten politicans of all time

Abraham Lincoln
no 2-10

It's amazing that I can name ten bands fairly easily but when it comes to politicans it just doesn't compute. Each and every person I consider just simply falls away when it comes to comparisons with Abe.

Mr. Lincoln would have been Ralph Waldo Emerson's equal if he had only been a writer.
Lincoln's quotes (which are readily available on Google) are beyond fabulous....they are perfect.

It's actually a great way to start the new year......read Abe's words and apply them to your life.

Happy New Year

Michael Timothy McAlevey

House of Saud and House of Obama

One year ago Congress approved a 10 year $60 Billion arms deal with Saudi Arabia. The other day it was announced that the Obama Administration was starting to fulfill that deal by sending $30 Billion worth of F-15 Fighter Jets.

That's 84 new fighter jets in the hands of the House of Saud. If you need more information on the House of Saud.......go to the following link.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Saud

The arms package includes helicopters, missiles, delivery systems, radar warnings and night vision goggles.

The treatment of women in Saudi Arabia should nullify any form of supplying arms......then toss in the fact that a huge percentage of terrorists funding seems to originate from that Sunni Muslim country and one has to ask.........

ARE WE ARMING OUR ENEMIES? AND ARE WE ONLY DOING THIS TO PREVENT THEM FROM BUYING FROM RUSSIA AND CHINA?

I THINK THERE'S ENOUGH MONEY IN SAUDI ARABIA TO BUY FROM EVERYONE.....AND THEY PROBABLY ARE.

Of course there's the oil dealio and arms for oil might be the actual reality bond.

I realize that calling Saudi Arabia our enemy might be a bit harsh....but please remember Bin Laden and 15 of the 19 terrorists from 9/11 were Saudi nationals.

Israel cannot be pleased by this action.

The fact that Congress approved this deal a year ago makes me wonder where the money ends up. Are these jets being built by the military?....probably not.....does the government contract McDonnell Douglas like a private label endeavor?

When the administration says they are selling Jets are they selling the jets or is McDonnell Douglas?

My guess is that this is one of those deals where every person in Congress gets a taste of the action....or they all bought stock in McDonnell Douglas right before the deal was finalized.

Welcome to cynicism at it's highest level.

But....... if you don't think that kind of thing goes on......then fairy tales, Santa Claus and the Easter bunny are still very much apart of your life.

I've previously warned about the amount of munitions being bought and sold worldwide and it seems to be moving toward a time when all that weaponry needs to get used in order to buy newer versions.

God help us.......and I mean it.....

Please God help us!

We seem to be out of control and America seems much more interested in oil and jets then it is in helping to secure the rights of women in countries controlled by Kings and their deeply extended families.

The House of Saud is not our friend and they sure as hell are not friends with the State of Israel.

They are simply a business partner and sometimes business should be trumped by morality and human rights issues.

I'm disappointed in the Obama Administration and Congress....but then again I'm definitely not alone in that arena.

Michael Timothy McAlevey

14 days until Christmas

Just in case you can't quite decide on what to get me for Christmas....I thought I'd narrow it down for you.

I would really like to see one of the front running Republican candidates start to address issues that affect the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat and the bullshit we listen to that has nothing to do with the health of ourselves....our children.....their children and especially their children's children. There is so little concern for the future of humanity within the Republican Party (and probably a majority of Democratic incumbents) that cynicism has reached an all time low among the American voters.

A recent Gallup poll put Congress into a record number.......76 percent of people polled said MOST representatives do not deserve to be reelected.

I would really like to see someone with power in the Middle East become a true humanitarian and subscribe to this one universal truth.

No one can do anything about anything that has happen before this moment right now.....so learn from he historical mistakes and make up a future that includes love and tolerance of different ideologies and belief systems. Maybe belief systems should be suspended for a few years so that the healthy acceptance portions, of those belief systems, can become fully actualized.

I would really like to see human beings stop blaming GOD for their actions.

WE DON'T KNOW GOD'S WILL AND WE MUST STOP SAYING THAT IT'S WRITTEN DOWN SO THEREFORE IT'S GOD'S WILL THAT CERTAIN THINGS SHOULD BE DONE TO OTHER PEOPLE WHO READ A DIFFERENT BOOK.

A book is a book and some are much better written than others, but please.....a book is a book.

BOOK.......what a funny word and then on top of the nonsensical sound...... it becomes an item which controls the very essence of billions of people's hearts and souls....and oddly enough there's only a couple of books that seem to have that type of mind control.

The sound advice on how to live one's life in a loving and responsible manner can be retrieved from millions and millions of books. It can also be a new book written by.............. you.

Divine inspiration is there for the asking. Just takes a bit of calm concentration and breathing.

I would really like to see a lot more calm concentration and breathing.

I would really like to see a tremendous reduction in weapons. In every corner of the planet.

This Christmas wish is so unrealistic that I hate even bringing it up but someone has to....and I sure don't hear anyone anywhere with political power......talking about less weapons.

(And the United States continues to be a huge supplier in this area.)

I would really like the Pope to take up a reduced planetary weapons position as part of his 2012 postulating.

I would really like the concept of ending hunger to become a topic of conversation in every political debate over the next 10 months. America could just start with American children and then move on to other geographical areas after taking care of business at home.

The number of children going hungry in America every night ranges from 1 million to 17 million. If you research the problem you will discover a very wide range of numbers.

THE POINT IS ................THE NUMBER SHOULD BE.......ZERO

or as close to that number as humanly possible.

I would really like the concept of Solar and Wind Power to become something less than a speculative gamble on the part of high profile energy suppliers. The truth is....they both work and they are both safe renewable sources of energy and NOBODY should disagree with that reality....and all forces, both within the government and private enterprise, should cut the crap and just make it happen......everywhere.

I realize my list is kinda short but that should make it easier to fill.

I can't wait to look under my tree on Christmas morning.

Michael Timothy McAlevey

Take a look

For those of you on the West Coast I highly suggest getting up at 5:30 am.... put on some warm clothes and journey outside to witness the lunar eclipse. Get as close to the ocean as you can or as high up on a mountain as possible.

The event starts at 6:06 and lasts until 6:57......but of course the process will take a few hours.

Partial stuff always looks cool and that starts around 4am.

The last natural phenomenon of 2011 should be marvelous.

Peace on Earth and goodwill to all..........

Michael Timothy McAlevey

Continuing with the smart guy

Click on this link and you can read the NEW Contract with a America.

http://www.newt.org/contract/legislative-proposals

If you take each item and read it, while reading between the lines, you can pretty much determine which political party you should support. Of course it's very important to read between the lines and sentences of ANY POLITICIAN.

I'm still looking for the word environment or the phrase ecological responsibility.

Brings me back to a joke I made up years ago.

WHAT'S THE SMALLEST POLITICAL ORGANIZATION IN THE WORLD?

Republicans to Save the Whales......one guy in Washington D.C. waiting for the phone to ring for the first time.

Back to the smart guy's contract.......

I like the first one about repealing Obamacare and putting in a replacement that saves lives and money by empowering patients and doctors, not bureaucrats and politicians.

NEWTON lEROY McPHERSON GINGRICH was a congressman from 1979 to 1999 and from 1995 to 1999 he was the Speaker of the House. I sure don't remember any REPLACEMENT idea that NEWT introduced that would have helped fix a broken health care system in the wealthiest country on earth.

Obama's health care plan might have flaws and it might be expensive BUT IT'S A MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.......BECAUSE IT'S A MOVE IN ANY DIRECTION.

I'm not going to address each point of the document all at one time....but over the next few months I will take the different points of light (sic) and offer suggestions on what the content says between the lines of Leroy's contract.

Of course there's a good chance that you don't want to hear the other side of the story and if that's the case I'm glad I could link you up with the smartest man in politics.

See you on the campaign trail!

Michael Timothy McAlevey

Could be a problem

I saw this picture last week and it summarizes the photography portion of my artistic persona.

I used to always have a camera in my possession and now I don't even have a phone that shoots pictures. I realize this sounds absurd to most people under the age of 60 but in truth they still make phones that don't have cameras built into them.

They still build cars that don't have phones built into the sound system.

Of course if you pay more....you get more....and that's why I'm currently OMH............OCCUPYING MY HOME.

*******************************

My recent conversations with Republicans seem to focus on two issues. Obama is the worst President we've ever had....and Newt Gingrich is the smartest man in politics.

I suppose it's their way of saying that if Romney can't pull off the nomination then Newt is a great second choice because he's so damn smart.

So damn smart! Newt Gingrich helped create a Contract with America in 1994

The Contract with America was a document released by the United States Republican Party during the 1994 Congressional election campaign. Written by Larry Hunter, who was aided by Newt Gingrich, Robert Walker, Richard Armey, Bill Paxon, Tom DeLay, John Boehner and Jim Nussle, and in part using text from former President Ronald Reagan's 1985 State of the Union Address, the Contract detailed the actions the Republicans promised to take if they became the majority party in the United States House of Representatives for the first time in 40 years. Many of the Contract's policy ideas originated at The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank. (Wikipedia)

When that Contract with America was introduced I distinctly remember reading it and noticing that the word ENVIRONMENT was never mentioned.

NEVER MENTIONED!

Some of the SMARTEST guys in the Republican Party construct a contract for their vision of America's future and the word ENVIRONMENT is not mentioned once!

THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS OF AMERICA'S FUTURE MIGHT BE THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS THAT WE WILL NEED TO DEAL WITH IN THE NEXT 20 TO 50 YEARS.

Somewhere in a Contract with America one would think an interest in environmental issues might at least appear within the structure of said contract.

AFTER ALL....THESE ARE THE SMARTEST GUYS....AND OF THOSE SMARTEST GUYS......SUPPOSEDLY NEWT IS THE SMARTEST.

I've just learned that Newt has made a new Contract with America for the 21st Century. I will once again read the contract and see if he has included anything related to the enviromental issues that face not only America but the entire planet.

I suggest you read the new contract and see if the smartest man in politics has started to use that brilliant mind.

The 2012 Presidential election is going to be a humdinger........families and friends will be divided like never before.

New Talent

I started Mind Jazz on Christmas of 2006 and since that time I've had at least three people read my "articles"..........

At least three............and only two of those people have left comments.

I'm understating the amount of readers I have simply to make a point.....

IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MANY READERS I HAVE......IT MATTERS HOW MANY COMMENTS ARE LEFT.

I RARELY GET A COMMENT....WHICH MEANS ONE OF TWO THINGS.....and neither of those things means anything because you still won't leave a comment.

I'm not really sure why responses aren't included on a regular basis from my regular readers except for the fact that maybe there's nothing left to say after finishing one of my pieces....which is absurd because most people I talk to, in person, seem to be in disagreement with most of my viewpoints....so you would think that leaving a curt note or a sweet comment would be natural.

I'm not looking for strangers to leave their opinions because in truth I don't know them and don't have time to uncover their life stories.

I'm wondering why the people I know don't leave their comments.

It could have something to do with ME.

This current piece is a piece to introduce you to a new writer on the blog scene.....and this person happens to be one of my favorite people on the planet. (I have a nice long list and she's been on it since her birth)

Her name is Laura Fairly

http://lefairly.wordpress.com/

Her first entry is a request for people to leave comments. I can't tell you if she has ever read one of my "articles"....because she has never left a comment.

Most likely she might read this one because it's about her.....but I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't. I actually think her boyfriend has read more than her and I think he actually left a comment a few years ago. Yes, he also has a blog and yes I did leave a commnet or two.

Someday everyone on the planet might write a blog....and there won't be time to read them all and there sure won't be time to leave comments......but today and tomorrow there's still time.

I highly suggest you go to
http://lefairly.wordpress.com/ and read her work....and then I highly recommend you leave a comment or you'll end up with another insecure wordsmith (objective of exercise sans the grammatical license I take) asking for.....
commentcharity.

Anyone 60 or older knows what today is

Tragic national events are rare.

48 years ago today baby boomers suffered their first group disaster.

It was the first of three political assassinations that would dominate the 60's.

It set the tone for what would take place in the late 60's and early 70's with the youth of America deciding that their voice counted in regards to a very unpopular war and a Dickhead President.

It was the single event that buried an idyllic America that had existed from 1946 to 1963.

Whatever political point of view one may have......does not remove the stain of having lost the youngest President in the history of America.

I was 17 years old and studying for a math test in my freshman year of college when John Fitzgerald Kennedy's head was blown apart in Dallas, Texas.

48 years later we still don't know for sure if Castro, The Mafia, Nixon, The CIA, The disgruntled Cuban nationals that felt betrayed during the Bay of Pigs or just one single asshole with a rifle...was responsible.

History has shown that JFK and his brother Bobby had some powerful enemies.......and their power is so strong that no one can actually prove anything.

I predict the exact answers will be revealed in about 50 years....which would put me at 115.

Most likely I'm not going to hear the truth.....but I sure hope with all my heart that the Muppets didn't have anything to do with it.

Imagine how scared that would make my grand children's children.

Now that I've officially gone MIND JAZZ loony I think I'll just sign off and wish you a
Happy
Thanksgiving.

Michael Timtohy McAlevey

Can I have your old one?

That big flat screen you bought last year will be obsolete next year IF you like your color to be more realistic.

The dealio is....I'm still in the Sony FAT BODY world of TV's so when you decide to upgrade to the newest technology....please give me a call.

You can thank nanotechnology for the visual enhancement that will be on the market by the end of 2012.

Right now your TV can reproduce about 30% of what the eye can perceive in the real world. The new nanotechnology will double that percentage. What they do to fool you is increase the brightness with LEDs but that doesn't really mean too much when it comes to color.

Of course the brains behind this new technology might be forgetting that for 40 years the American people watched TV with no technical enhancements....and were very happy campers.

I wonder how many people still have regular TV's simply because the old ones weigh more than a car and nobody wants to help move it.

I'm waiting for the flat screens to hit Goodwill and The Salvation Army before I make my move. But if you need to dump your 47 inch flat screen, next Christmas, with the old color flaws, to make way for the more realistic color version....just give me a call. I'll be glad to take it off your hands.

Of course you'll probably just want to put it in another room so that you can be one of those TV in every room families.

Is America the most wonderful place on earth.....or what?

Michael Timothy McAlevey

HAVE YOU WRITTEN YOUR CONGRESSPERSON YET ABOUT INDSIDER TRADING LAWS THAT DON'T APPLY TO THEM?

"charge-parity violation." and political insider trades

60 Minutes ran a story last Sunday about elected officials being exempt from any laws or rules preventing them from conducting insider trading of stocks.

Yesterday CERN announced that matter and anti-matter aren't behaving in the way that the law of physics says they should.

Which one of these stories should be examined and investigated with the utmost security and diligence?

Which one of these stories will you never see again?

I'm going to write e-mails to my congressman, state senator and President demanding that laws be immediately passed preventing elected officials from using insider information to pad their personal bank accounts.

I'm also going to ask for a full investigation into all personal transactions done by elected officials regarding the stock market since 1946. (all behavior before my birthday is exempt)

I'm probably going to be erased within the next 5 days and 60 Minutes will be canceled after 43 years.

I highly recommend that you go on line and watch the 60 Minute segment (11/13/11) before they completely pull it off of the CBS archives.

The CERN item can be read about at
http://news.yahoo.com/physics-atom-smashers-antimatter-surprise-232412931.html

It's a much larger story but certainly not more important than the integrity questions that will be raised regarding the House and Senate.

The anti-matter/matter story amazes me......the 60 Minuted story just pisses me off....as it should you.

DON'T LET THIS FORM OF CORRUPTION SIMPLY EVAPORATE INTO MEDIA THIN AIR.....DEMAND THAT YOUR SOURCES OF INFORMATION (TV, newspapers, on-line) INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER TO THE MAX!

THE AMERICA PEOPLE NEED TO MAKE THEIR ELECTED OFFICIALS ACCOUNTABLE AND THE SIMPLE FACT THAT ANYONE WHO PERSONALLY FINANCIALLY BENEFITS FROM BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS, WHILE IN THEIR ELECTED OFFICE, SHOULD BE BROUGHT TO THE MAT....AND COUNTED OUT. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9....YOU ARE OUT!

HIT THE ROAD

This is the type of behavior that makes people take to the streets and
OCCUPY ANYWHERE USA
.....and the interesting thing to note is that until the 60 Minute story I'm fairly certain that 99.9% of the voting public had no idea that members of The House and The Senate were exempt from any laws pertaining to insider trading.

I'M STUNNED!

HOW ABOUT YOU?

MAKE SOME NOISE!

How did this happen?

In 1971 I was convinced that within 50 years all war would become obsolete. I based that reasoning on several things that were happening at the time......the main thing being the amount of young people taking the anti-war issue to the streets of America and other industrialized countries. It just made sense that as those young people grew into responsible adults that they in turn would make sure the earth had less weapons and more love.

It's 40 years later and OMG it turns out that I couldn't have experienced any larger hallucination.

How did this happen?

Did the young conscientious people of the planet all fold their tents or did certain events take place that made people extremely paranoid?

Paranoia leads to many different aggressive roads....one being the accumulation of weapons.

THE ACCUMULATION OF WEAPONS IS THE SINGLE MOST INSANE THING THAT THE PLANET HAS EXPERIENCED SINCE WW l l.

I've pointed this out before but once again it seems vastly important. In 1946 a few countries and a few citizens possessed weapons. Since 1946 not only has the munitions quantity increased a billion fold but the quality has gone completely ape shit.

Individuals can purchase hand held rocket launchers. Countries purchase them by the container load. Drug Cartels can go to industrial trade shows and buy whatever happens to be selling.

A MUNITIONS TRADE SHOW HAS TO BE ONE OF THE SICKEST CONCEPTS EVER DEVISED BY THE HUMAN SPECIES.

I'm fairly certain that small terrorists organizations have led to the paranoia that seems to rest in most of the living rooms of America. We don't get as concerned with other countries who have trained military personal because if push comes to shove we are the main shovees.

It's those assholes, without uniforms, who hide in the storm drains and then surface every so often to cause horror and havoc.

Those guys have made America accept any and all gestures that point toward a NATIONAL WARTIME MENTALITY.

40 YEARS SINCE 1971 AND WE ARE SO HEADED IN THE WRONG DIRECTION.

And sadly........I'm not really sure what can be done to change that direction.

One of the first things that could happen would be to end any MUNITIONS TRADE SHOW planned for the next ten years. At least make it hard to obtain the items that cause pain and destruction.

Then The United Nations should confront the countries that are manufacturing those items and put everything on hold until the dust settles.....like in 2030.

Then a weapons collection program should be put into place.

We'll need volunteers to go into South America, Africa and Southeast Asia and ask those people to turn in their AK 47's and Hand Held Rocket Launchers.

That might be the funniest thing I've ever written.

The accumulation of weapons on a mass scale is completely out of control and the world has never been more armed than it is today.

How did this happen? Somebody wasn't paying attention and that somebody was
you
and
me.

We voted people into office ( both parties) that are on the payroll of munition lobbyists....and we did so because we wanted protection from Russia in the 50's, China in the 60's and 70's and then dickhead terrorists since 1980.

Do you feel safe and protected?
