The greatest threat to America

The greatest threat facing the American people today is the American government. It has gotten so huge, so unwieldy, it answers to no one. It is a ruling aristocracy at its worst.
We the people have allowed this to happen. We elect public servants as congressman and senators at the federal and state levels to do their best to protect Americans. To protect our country, our jobs, our resources, in short our lives, they have betrayed us. We have allowed them unlimited terms, and these offices are often passed down through family or party for generations. Except in rare cases due to publicity they are beyond the law.
This financial collapse might not have occurred had they been paying attention to America. Selling our jobs, and resources overseas is that protecting Americans? Allowing foreign nationals to buy and control American companies and move them overseas or bring in foreigners to run them, how does this protect America? I’ll make it easy for you, it doesn’t. The ruling class doesn’t care about anything but themselves. You see they get a retirement from 1 term in office with medical that most taxpayers don’t see after working 50 years. Out of office they use their influence to become lobbyists earning millions a year. What incentive is there for them to protect Americans when it could affect their lifestyle? None.
We need to take back America. We need to institute term limits, we need to institute time limits before elected officials can become lobbyists. We need laws keeping foreign concerns from buying and controlling American corporations. The founders of the USA had this to say about the people “it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.” –Declaration of Independence

I miss old radio

How many of you remember AM radio? Wolfman Jack, Cousin Brucie, Imus in the morning and the rest that made radio great.
Don't get me wrong the signal is a lot better on FM it's just we don't have many jocks if any worth listening to. Either they're scared of the PC police so all they are or allowed to be is some bland clone of what some bean counter thinks will make money. Or they are just to vulgar and disgusting without any reason to be so, and they move to satellite radio. Where is the middle ground?
They should bring back WKRP in Cinncinatti and show people what a station should be.
Here in CT I remember a traffic reporter named Morgan Kaolian. He wasn't one of these talking heads you get today, he flew his own plane up and down the highways reporting traffic conditions. I got a chance to fly with him once it was great.
Imus a genius, who else could give you the Right Reverend Billy Sol Harkness of the first church of the gooey death and discount house of worship, and all the other funny, biting, satirical views of life at that time.
Wolfman Jack, spinning the hits with that voice. Cousin Brucie WABC evening radio. Pioneers all.
Who's up and coming? Nobody. Bean counters and the PC police won't let anyone do anything edgy. The real sad fact is people out there now don't realize what they're missing, they think John Teesh, Delila, Billy or Bobby somebody or other are good. A bunch of no talent talking heads.
Around here Damon Scott at least tries, the morning host on that station I wouldn't have call a square dance.
Well thanks for reading, I feel a little better.

Children should be seen and not heard

Children should be seen and not heard was how it was when my generation was growing up. We learned manners and more then that we learned we were suppose to use them. We learned to get respect, you gave respect and a lot more then that. We didn't have drive by shootings, teachers weren't afraid to go into school. If you got into trouble in school you were in more trouble when you got home. You learned if wanted something you worked for it, you didn't steal it or expect the government to give it to you. What has happened to the generations X & Y I have know idea. I do wonder who is going to support them when the boomers finally die off. I know some of them had work ethics and honor instilled in them I don't think enough to keep civilization going when the rest of them just expect to live off the government. End of the world.

Support global warming

We should start burning more fossil fuels, pollute more water (streams, oceans, rivers) cause the extinction of more species. Why not we've been doing it for how long now and now we want to stop. Why? This is our world we've ruined it this far let's see it through to the end. Hopefully it'll be quick and fairly painless, rather then long and dragged out if we keep trying to fight it. We owe it to all those species of animals and plants we've made extinct to join them in the next life. The generations coming up behind us are so useless and lazy they won't make it a generation without the 'boomer's' to do everything for them. So having the world end quickly is kinder and easier to them, rather then them actually having to do things and work, which they probably couldn't do anyway.So let's bring back gas at 20 cents a gallon cars that get 5 miles a gallon, bring back cigarettes at 18 cents a pack to just to help out.Remember just say no to saving the world.

Anyone ever see a ghost?

I did many years ago in Easton CT. It was so weird, it was winter we were to young to drive, so we took our sleds and ended up sledding down streets, just having fun. We started out on Park Ave in Bridgeport near the Easton Fairfield border. We ended up coming down this hill and were sitting there resting when we saw this woman in white with a light or lantern in her hand we called to her she didn't answer, we turned to talk to each other and when we looked back she was gone, then we saw a light further out in the woods. We didn't think much about it at the time, it was only years later that I realized we weren't that far from that haunted graveyard in Easton over by the Rte 136. I started reading about it and realized we had seen the ghost. they won't even let you park near that cemetery. The more I think on it there have been other strange things that couldn't be explained by normal reasons. Anyone else have any experiences with the paranormal

Musicians vs actors

I think musicians and songwriters are more talented work harder and get less respect than actors.Actors are over paid egotistical brats who have such inferiority complexes they are not comfortable being themselves, they have to play other people with different names and occupations to make themselves feel good. Granted it does take some talent to laugh or cry on cue and some do it better then others but get real it's all make believe because they can't face reality or who they really are. I get such a kick when I hear them say 'it's such an important role it means so much to life it sends a message." words like that, give me a break. The head of a major studio years ago said "movies are entertainment. You want to send a message use Western union". The real joke is the stupid people who actually listen to and follow these peoples advice in politics, business, love whatever loser following loser. Another good laugh is people getting hysterical when an actor dies or gets sick. Please, like they care about you? You need a life.
I know some music fans do the same thing take advice, get upset when something happens, they need a life too.
Musicians dress up on stage for entertainment, they understand that is what they are there for. The big difference is the talent, to sing, to carry a tune, to play an instrument, to write music. These are gifts and talents that actors don't come close to. Musicians are themselves and give away part of themselves in every note, every performance, they are not playing someone else they put it all on the line and say this is me. Take me or leave me. An actor does that in a role, they never take responsibility it is never them it is a lousy role, unless it a success then it's all them.Give me musicians as the more talented and real people any day.

The verdict is in

To all of you who partied in the 60’s and 70’s. You know who you are, you’re the ones who drank and drugged and survived. The ones the phrase “ if you remember the 60’s& 70’s you weren’t really there” was coined for. Guess what?
I know some of you are now in 12 step programs, some didn’t need that. Most of you went on to become business people, teachers and other responsible members of society. Based on that you feel you escaped unscathed from the degenerate debauchery of your past. You’re half right. You escaped, your offspring and their subsequent offspring didn’t. Look around, the generation your birthed, continued the drinking and drugging and began the downhill slide of civilization as we knew it. The generation they set loose on the world is scary. The amount of brain cells they lack is amazing. If the normal workings of the body, ie heart, lungs weren’t involuntary they probably wouldn’t survive to puberty.
What is this based on, simple, “reality TV shows” “duh” along with other popular shows. Did you also notice how many shows and movies are remakes from the 60’s-80’s. No new ideas. Surprise, you have to have a brain to have an idea. How about reading? That’s a joke, most of them can’t spell look at text messages. What we use to call comic books they now call “graphic novels” just to boost their egos.
Good luck expecting them to take care of you if you need it, they can’t even take care of themselves. In a way it makes me hope that the newest end of the world date Dec 21 2012 comes true it would be kinder and gentler to them then actually having to live without people to do everything for them as we and their parents die off. I feel very lucky and blessed that I never had any kids, I can honestly say the future is not my fault.
Now we have empirical proof that drinking and drugging causes more damage to society then ever before thought.
