Manifesto Three

JJT MANIFESTO THREE 1

LET’S GET RIGHT TO IT!

1) TO START WITH: WHAT IS IT THAT PROMPTS AN INTELLECTUAL TO PURSUE A FIELD THAT DOES NOT EVEN REMOTELY ADD TO THE QUALITY OF LIFE TO THE HUMAN RACE? THERE ARE ADVOCATES FOR ANIMALS THAT MANY OF US LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING ON A PLATE GARNISHED WITH PARSLEY, SITUATED BESIDE PEARL ONIONS, RUSSET POTATOES AND MIXED VEGETABLES. PETA TOO, HAS A PENCHANT, A “CAUSE” TO PROTECT EVERYTHING FROM COWS TO MOLLUSKS. THERE ARE THOSE WHO ARE ADVOCATES FOR THE ENVIRONMENT; TOUTING THEIR VIEWPOINTS FROM GLOBAL WARMING TO THE PROTECTION OF OLD GROWTH FORESTS – ADVOCATES WHOM I HOPE CONCURRENTLY FIGHT FOR THE RIGHTS OF CHILDREN, THE OPPRESSED AND IMPOVERISHED!. THERE ARE BRILLIANT PEOPLE WHO ENTER INTO AREAS THAT HAVE NO WHERE TO GO SUCH AS ASTRONOMY. THEIR ARE VERY INTELLIGENT RESEARCHERS WHO FOCUS THE BRUNT OF THEIR BRAIN POWER ON ATTEMPTING TO UNDERSTAND THE LANGUAGE OR COMMUNICATION OF THE WHALE OR THE DOLPHIN! EVEN MORE SOCIALLY AND INTELLECTUALLY IRRESPONSIBLE FIELDS INCLUDE THE STUDY OF THE DURATION AND COMPLEXITY OF THE SEX LIFE OF THE SEA URCHIN! IRRESPONSIBLE INTELLECTUAL PURSUITS ABOUND! AND THE CHILDREN WHO ARE BRAVELY COMBATING DISEASES SUCH AS CANCER ARE THE ONE’S WHO LOSE OUT!

2)WHEN AN IMMIGRANT (OR A VISITOR FOR THAT MATTER) ARRIVES IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY, THE FIRST THING THAT HE OR SHE MUST LEARN ARE HELPFUL QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS, AS WELL AS KEY PHRASES. YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THE HOST COUNTRIES LEGAL TENDER AND THE CURIOUS (SOMETIMES DISCONCERTING) IDIOSYNCRASIES OF THEIR CULTURE AND PERHAPS THAT OF THEIR DOMINANT RELIGIONS WHICH INVARIABLY FACTOR INTO CULTURAL NORMS!

3) NEXT ON MY MIND ARE SOME OF THE FACTORS THAT LEAD TO POVERTY? AND HOW DO WE BREAK THE CYCLE? AS I SEE IT, HOPELESS, AMBITION LESS, NON-MOTIVATED PARENTS (OR PARENT); WHO DELIBERATELY EMBRACE A DESTRUCTIVE SELF-DEFEATING PROPHESY – WILL MORE THAN LIKELY PASS ON FEELINGS OF FAILURE AND DISENFRANCHISEMENT TO THEIR IMPRESSIONABLE CHILDREN ! THOSE WHO LIVE A PROFLIGATE LIFE THAT IS BLARINGLY SABOTAGED BY DRUG, ALCOHOL AND TOBACCO USE; A COMPLETE DISREGARD FOR CALORIC OR NUTRITIONAL INTAKE, OFTEN SUFFER FROM OBESITY THAT CAN LEAD TO DIABETES, BACK PROBLEMS, A SEVERE STRAIN ON ONES HEART, AN INCLINATION FOR SLOTH AND UNFORTUNATELY, ALL TOO FREQUENTLY, TO OFFSPRING WHO MIMIC OR SIMULATE THE ATTITUDES, ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND EDUCATIONAL DISSOLUTION OF THEIR PARENTS OR PARENT!!! THEY ARE ALSO CONFRONTED BY GANG INVOLVEMENT THAT OFFERS THEM A FAMILY LIFE, A SUBSTANTIAL INCOME AND A FEELING OF INVINCIBILITY, OF SUPERIORITY; ALL OF WHICH IS OBTAINED IN THE ABSENCE OF, THE OBSOLESCENCE OF AND THE IMPEDIMENT OF – A TIME CONSUMING AND DEMANDING EDUCATION!

4)BUT WE MUSTNÕT DISREGARD THE PRESENCE OF COMPETING GANGS WHO VIE FOR TERRITORIES; ALL TOO OFTEN RESULTING IN VIOLENCE THAT LEADS TO THE VICTIMIZATION OF INNOCENT BYSTANDERS! A RIVALRY THAT TRANSFORMS AN ALREADY BESET AND IMPOVERISHED NEIGHBORHOOD INTO THAT OF A WAR ZONE!

5)THE ANSWER TO THIS CONUNDRUM IS TO KEEP THE CHILDREN BUSY, PHYSICALLY AND INTELLECTUALLY CHALLENGED; HAVING THEM ATTEND A TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY DAY PER YEAR -SEVEN HOUR DAY – SIX DAY PER WEEK SCHEDULE – FOR THE ENTIRE TWELVE YEARS! ONCE COMPLETED – THEY CAN OBTAIN AN ASSOCIATES OR BACHELORS DEGREE! I WOULD CUT THE TEACHERS HOURS IN HALF – PLACING THEM ON A THREE AND ONE HALF HOUR DAY – SIX DAY PER WEEK AGENDA – TO AVOID BURNOUT! AS FOR THE CHILDREN, IT IS MY VIEW THAT IF WE KEEP THEM PHYSICALLY FIT – WHILE BOLSTERING THEIR SELF-ESTEEM USING KARATE; IF WE TURN THEM INTO HEALTH NUTS! AND IF WE MAKE LEARNING FUN BY GIVING THEM CRUCIAL KNOWLEDGE THAT WILL HELP THEM SUCCEED IN LIFE; EXPOSING THEM TO A VARIETY OF PROFESSIONS OR FIELDS – WITH THE GOAL OF INSPIRING CURIOSITY AND INTEREST – WE WILL NOT ONLY NOT SEE BURNOUT AMONG OUR CHILDREN, BUT WE WILL SEE AN ATTITUDE OF EAGERNESS AND ANTICIPATION FOR THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS! HOW WOULD IT BE PAID FOR? (AND I AM DELIBERATELY REPEATING MYSELF!) SWITCH TO A CONSUMPTION TAX. NO MORE EXPENSIVE IRS! NO MORE COMPLEX TAX CODES OR TAX EVASION! EVERYONE PAYS TAXES! THOSE WHO WORK OFF TIPS. NAUGHTY PEOPLE WHO DON’T PAY TAXES – BECAUSE THEY DON’T HAVE AN INCOME! THOSE WHO BUY LOTS OF STUFF PAY LOTS OF TAXES! THOSE WITH MEAGER INCOMES WHO CANÕT AFFORD THE STUFF – WILL PAY LITTLE! NEXT WE PURCHASE LAND. WE SOW THE SEEDS. WE HARVEST THE PLANTS. WE MANUFACTURE AND DISTRIBUTE THE ETHANOL AND THE BIODIESAL! WE LEGALIZE PROSTITUTION AND GAMBLING AND WE TAX THE HELL OUT OF IT! WE FREE-UP LAW ENFORCEMENT AND THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM. GETTING THOSE WITH (UNTREATABLE!) STD’S OR ESPECIALLY HIV/AIDS – OUT OF THE BUSINESS! WE GIVE ASSISTANCE TO THE DRUG ADDICT. WE GET PROSTITUTES OFF THE STREETS AND SITUATE THEM IN AN ISOLATED SAFE AREA! WE HELP STUDENTS PAY FOR EXTENDED DAYS AND HOURS USING PELL GRANTS AND LOW INTEREST STUDENT LOANS, AS WELL AS A LOCAL LOTTERY! AND IF THE EXPERT UNBIASED ECONOMISTS FEEL THAT IT’S ACHIEVABLE – WE RENOVATE ABANDONED BUILDINGS THAT WE ÒACQUIREÓ. COMMUNITY BY COMMUNITY – WE INVEST FIVE TO TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS AND WE SELL IT BACK TO THE PREVIOUS OWNER FOR A CONSIDERABLY REDUCED RATE AND AT A FIXED LOW INTEREST RATE. AND WE PLACE ANY PROFIT INTO A FUND – THE CONTENTS OF WHICH WILL BE DIRECTED TOWARDS EDUCATION OR OTHER SOCIAL PROGRAMS! WE USE THE UNITED STATES MILITARY TO PAY MONEY FOR TUITION IN ADVANCE OF A FOUR TO SIX YEAR STINT TO TAKE PLACE FOLLOWING GRADUATION FROM GRADE TWELVE WITH AN ASSOCIATES OR A BACHELORS DEGREE!

(ALL OF WHICH WILL TAKE PLACE DURING A TIME OF PEACE!) I WOULD ALSO PLEAD WITH THE WEALTHY – ASKING THEM TO PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE OF THE NATIONAL DEBT; AS WELL AS THAT OF THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS! IT WOULD BE VOLUNTARY AND THE MONEY WOULD GO TOWARDS INFRASTRUCTURE, SOCIAL PROGRAMS AND ESPECIALLY (IF NEEDED) TOWARDS EDUCATION!

AND ALTHOUGH WE WOULD LOSE VALUABLE FUNDING – I WOULD TRASH THE DEATH TAX! PARTICULARLY WHEN IT BREAKS-UP FAMILY FARMS AND BUSINESSES!

IN ORDER TO KEEP CORPORATIONS AND BUSINESSES FROM MOVING OVERSEAS – I WOULD LET THEM OPERATE IN A TAX-FREE ENVIRONMENT!!! (HAVEN’T I SAID ENOUGH!)

BEING THE “SOLE REMAINING SUPER POWER” IS AN EXPENSIVE PROPOSITION. ALL AT THE SACRIFICE AND DETRIMENT OF AND TO – SOCIAL PROGRAMS AND THE REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT OF AGING INFRASTRUCTURE! HOWEVER! IF THE TAX PAYING LAW ABIDING CITIZENS WANT US TO REMAIN “THE SOLE REMAINING SUPER POWER” AND ARE WILLING TO FUND IT – THEN SO BE IT!!! MAY GOD GUIDE US SO THAT WE USE OUR POWER WITH RESTRAINT AND WITH WISDOM!

ONCE AMERICA CAN SUPPLY ALL OF IT’S ENERGY NEEDS, WE WILL FINALLY BE ABLE TO SEPARATE OURSELVES MILITARILY FROM COUNTRIES (WHO UNDER OUR SPONSORSHIP OR AEGIS) TENDED TO OUR PETROLEUM ADDICTION! WE WILL FINALLY BE FREE FROM OBLIGATIONS AROUND THE WORLD AND ABLE TO CONTEND WITH OUR NEEDS AND ALL IN THE NAME OF NATIONAL SECURITY!

WITH A LOWERING OF OUR TRADE DEFICIT AND WITH THE CREATION OF LONG TERM WELL PAYING JOBS!!!

MILITARY BASES LOCATED AROUND THE GLOBE

I ALSO SUGGEST THAT WE REVIEW THE NECESSITY OF DOZENS OF MILITARY BASES SITUATED AROUND THE WORLD. SUCH AS NORTH KOREA WHO IS IN NEED OF FOOD, NEW INFRASTRUCTURE AND ECONOMIC TRADE TO STIMULATE ITS FALTERING SOCIALIST ECONOMY! DO WE HONESTLY NEED A BASE IN JAPANESE HELD TERRITORY? SHOULD THE CUBAN PEOPLE SUFFER DUE TO U.S. OPPOSITION CONCERNING IT’S COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT? I BELIEVE THAT ITS TIME FOR THE EU, NATO AND THE UNITED NATIONS TO MERGE WITH RECLUSIVE, ICONOCLASTIC ARAB/MUSLIM NATIONS TO CREATE A UNIVERSAL POLICE, THAT WILL SHARE TROOPS, MONEY AND RESOURCES! ALL IN THE NAME OF GLOBAL PEACE!

PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR TELLING THE TRUTH BUT I BELIEVE THAT BEING A SUPER POWER WITH MILITARY BASES SITUATED ALL OVER THE GLOBE – WHILE OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE IN DISARRAY; OUR CHILDREN ARE DROPPING-OUT GROSSLY UNDER EDUCATED, ILL-INFORMED, DRUG AND ALCOHOL ADDICTED; MANY OF WHOM ARE ENDING-UP IN GANGS – IS COMPLETELY IRRESPONSIBLE!

YES, WE’RE A SUPER POWER, YET WE FACE AN ELEVEN TO THIRTEEN TRILLION DOLLAR DEBT! YES, WE’RE A SUPER POWER BUT WE WILL ONCE AGAIN HAVE MILLIONS OF CHILDREN WHO WILL BE WITHOUT HEALTH CARE! YES, WEÕRE A MILITARY SUPER POWER BUT WE FACE A TWO POINT SIX TRILLION DOLLAR NEED TO REPAIR OR REPLACE AGING INFRASTRUCTURE! YES, WEÕRE A MILITARY SUPER POWER, YET WE READILY AND APATHETICALLY DISREGARD THE CIVIL WAR TAKING PLACE IN IMPOVERISHED NEIGHBORHOODS! YES, WEÕRE A SUPER POWER, YET MORE PEOPLE WHO ARE LIVING IN DESTITUTION THAN ANY OTHER CIVILIZED INDUSTRIAL NATION. WE ARE AT WAR WITH OURSELVES! WE ARE ADDICTED TO FOOD, ALCOHOL, ILLICIT DRUGS, GAMBLING AND SEX! TO MY KNOWLEDGE WE HAVE OVER TWO MILLION PEOPLE OCCUPYING OUR OVERPOPULATED AND UNDERSTAFFED PRISONS; THE MAJORITY OF WHOM ARE NONVIOLENT, “INTELLECTUALLY CHALLENGED”, (WHO HAVE NOT GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL!), MENTALLY-ILL, DRUG AND ALCOHOL ADDICTED (WHICH IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR INCARCERATION DUE TO THE NEED TO PAY FOR AND TO ACQUIRE ILLICIT DRUGS!). WE HAVE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF HOMELESS WANDERING THE STREETS – MANY OF WHOM ARE DRUG AND ALCOHOL ADDICTED, MENTALLY ILL AND IN NEED OF CHEMOTHERAPY! SOME OF THEM VICTIMIZE! SOME OF THEM ARE VICTIMIZED! WE NEED HUGE SUMS OF MONEY FOR EDUCATION AND TO PAY FOR OUR SOCIAL PROGRAMS – SUCH AS HEALTH CARE AND SOCIAL SECURITY! YES, WEÕRE AN ECONOMIC AND MILITARY SUPER POWER, BUT WEÕRE GETTING OUR CAPITALISTIC ASSES KICKED BY A COMMUNIST COUNTRY! A COMMUNIST COUNTRY WHO PLAYS BY NO RULES AND AS SUCH HAS TAKEN ON THE RESPONSIBILITY, THE OBLIGATION AND BENEFIT OF OF FILLING THE ECONOMIC VOID LEFT BY OUR CORPORATIONS WHO HAVE MOVED “SOUTH” AS WELL AS “OVERSEAS” (WHILE IN PURSUIT OF PROFIT AND CHEAP LABOR AND LAX ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS AND IN THE BLARING ABSENCE OF PATRIOTISM!) LEAVING AMERICAN WORKERS HIGH AND DRY; UNEMPLOYED AND ALL TOO OFTEN FACING HOUSE FORECLOSURE AND TRUCK OR CAR REPOSSESSION! OR NEARLY AS DEGRADING – FACING A MINIMUM WAGE JOB! YES, WEÕRE A MILITARY AND AN ECONOMIC SUPER POWER AND WE HAVE MORE AFFLUENT, MORE MILLIONAIRES THAN ANY OTHER INDUSTRIALIZED NATION – YET WE HAVE UP TO TWO MILLION OF OUR HARD WORKING LAW ABIDING CITIZENS WHO ARE FACING FORECLOSURES ON THEIR HOUSES AND THE REPOSSESSIONS OF THEIR VEHICLES!!! AND THE FACT IS, EVERYONE IS TO BLAME! WHAT I WOULD RECOMMEND IS FOR OUR POLITICIANS TO SET ASIDE FIFTY BILLION DOLLARS TO “ACQUIRE” FORECLOSED PROPERTIES AS WELL AS FORECLOSURES THAT ARE PENDING. AND AS I’VE ALREADY STATED – I WOULD HIRE THOSE WHO WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACQUISITION AND RENOVATION OF SUCH PROPERTIES – INVESTING FIVE TO TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS IN MATERIALS, APPLIANCES AND LABOR. AND ONCE RENOVATED I WOULD SELL THEM BACK TO THE ORIGINAL OWNERS FOR A PITTANCE! AS I ALREADY STATED THIS APPROACH WOULD FIRST HAVE TO BE APPROVED BY ECONOMISTS AND BUSINESSMEN!

FOR THOSE WHO HAVE LOST A JOB AND WHO STILL CANNOT MEET THEIR MORTGAGE REQUIREMENTS, I WOULD ALSO INJECT MONEY INTO IMPOVERISHED COMMUNITIES – FOR THE “NEO-GENTRIFICATION” PROCESS – TO START THE ECONOMIC BALL ROLLING! I WOULD WORK WITH BANKERS AND SLUMLORDS WHO HAVE ABANDONED BUSINESS PROPERTIES; FOLLOWING A PURCHASE – TO OFFER BUSINESS MEN AND WOMEN – ENTREPRENEURS, RENT-FREE, TAX-FREE BUSINESS ZONES FOR SIX TO TWELVE MONTHS. I WOULD PUSH FOR GRANTS, LOW INTEREST LOANS AND FREE ACCESS TO BUSINESS EXPERTS WHO CAN PRECLUDE BUSINESS FAILURES LONG BEFORE THEY HAPPEN!

“ON EARMARKS”

I WOULD CREATE SEVERAL DOZEN COMMITTEES MADE UP OF SCIENTISTS, ENGINEERS AND ECONOMISTS AND YES, EVEN POLITICIANS! WHOSE SOLE PURPOSE IS TO EVALUATE AND PRIORITIZE WORK NEEDED ON AGING INFRASTRUCTURE – TO INCLUDE THE MANUFACTURE AND DISTRIBUTION OF ETHANOL AND BIODIESAL! FROM THE PURCHASE OF LAND, THE SOWING OF SEEDS. TO THE HARVEST, MANUFACTURE AND DISTRIBUTION. ALL IN THE NAME OF NATIONAL SECURITY, AN INCREASE IN ECONOMIC GROWTH, THE LOWERING OF OUR TRADE DEFICIT – AS WELL AS OUR UNEMPLOYMENT RATE! ALL WHILE KEEPING COSTS AT A MINIMUM IN ORDER TO BENEFIT OUR POPULACE – TO INCLUDE OUR HARD WORKING TRUCKERS!

THE OVERALL GOAL IS TO CREATE HIGH-PAYING LONG TERM JOBS. TO INCREASE THE TAX BASE. TO GENTLY INSPIRE AND PERSUADE INVESTMENT IN IMPOVERISHED NEIGHBORHOODS! TO PRIORITIZE WORK NEEDED, COST, THE TIME IT WILL TAKE TO COMPLETE EACH PROJECT.

LET’S BOTH COMPROMISE AND DISCRIMINATE! HOW ABOUT HEALTH CARE INSURANCE AT A SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED COST FOR PATIENTS OR CLIENTS WHO DONÕT SMOKE, DRINK OR DRUG; WHO EXERCISE, DRINK IN MODERATION, EAT “PROPERLY” AND MAINTAIN A HEALTHY BODY WEIGHT!

“ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS”

THIS IS WHAT I SUGGEST:

CREATE A DATA BASE PLACED ON SEVERAL MAIN FRAMES – ATTACHED TO THOUSANDS OF PC’S. COLLECT INFORMATION ON ILLEGALS; FINGER PRINTS, EYE (CAPILLARY) PRINT , HAIR AND EYE COLOR, HEIGHT, AGE, LEVEL OF EDUCATION; SKILLS AND JOB EXPERIENCE AS WELL AS PREVIOUS EMPLOYER; HOW LONG AND AT WHAT VOCATION? FORMER EMPLOYERS NAME, ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER. NO ONE WILL BE PROSECUTED! GIVE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS SIX MONTHS TO EXIT THE U.S.!

CREATE A GLOBAL EMPLOYMENT AGENCY. LISTING JOBS THAT ARE ESPECIALLY AVAILABLE IN THE U.S.. INCLUDE THE URGENT NEED FOR DOCTORS, NURSES, NURSE PRACTITIONERS AND MEDICS WHO WILL BE WILLING TO WORK IN CLINICS SITUATED IN POOR DISADVANTAGED NEIGHBORHOODS (FOR A DURATION OF NO LESS THAN SIX YEARS!) ALSO TO INCLUDE TEACHERS WHO ARE WILLING TO WORK FOR SIX YEARS IN THESE CRIME-RIDDEN NEIGHBORHOODS! KEEPING IN MIND THROUGHOUT – THAT LEGAL CITIZENS BORN IN THE U.S. HAVE FIRST CRACK AT ANY AND ALL AVAILABLE JOBS! THOSE U.S. CITIZENS WHO WERE NOT BORN HERE ARE NEXT IN PRIORITY!

THOSE FINALLY ENTERING THE U.S. LEGALLY MUST PAY A TWO THOUSAND DOLLAR FEE – GRANTING THEM A SIX YEAR WORK VISA. TRY TO MATCH THEM UP WITH THEIR FORMER EMPLOYERS – WHO MUST GIVE THEM AN ADEQUATE WAGE SO THEY CAN AFFORD ADEQUATE HOUSING, FOOD AND INCIDENTALS.

“MINIMUM WAGE”

DO LOWER CLASS WORKERS MAKING MINIMUM WAGE ACCRUE ENOUGH TAXES OVER TIME TO SUPPORT THEMSELVES OVER TIME – HAVING INVESTED IN SOCIAL SECURITY! WHEN SOMEONE IS MAKING MINIMUM WAGE – HOW MUCH CAN YOU TAKE OUT IN TAXES? HOW CAN MINIMUM WAGERS PAY FOR THEIR SHARE OF SOCIAL SECURITY, HEALTH CARE, INFRASTRUCTURE, THE JUDICIAL AND PRISON SYSTEM, POLICE, FIRE AND SO FORTH??? TO INCLUDE THE MAINTENANCE OF OUR HIGH-TECH MILITARY? THE PROBLEM, AT LEAST IN PART, IS THAT THERE ARE A GOOD DEAL OF GREEDY INDIFFERENT EMPLOYERS. (SORRY, BUT THAT’S SIMPLY A FACT!) AS FOR THE MAJORITY OF CORPORATIONS REMAINING IN THIS COUNTRY – MOST ARE OVERTLY MOTIVATED BY PROFIT! SO THEREÕS STILL THE POSSIBLE LIKELIHOOD THAT EVEN MORE MANUFACTURING JOBS WILL MOVE OVERSEAS!

AMERICA WILL CONTINUE TO SEE IT’S FRAGILE MANUFACTURING BASE ERODED STILL FURTHER!

JOBS THAT WILL BE REPLACED BY RETAIL SALES; RETAIL ESTABLISHMENTS THAT WILL IRONICALLY SELL PRODUCTS PRODUCED BY THE VERY CORPORATIONS THAT ABANDONED US!!! I KNOW THAT YOU DON’T LIKE TO HEAR THIS, BUT CAPITALISM AND THE PURSUIT OF PROFIT IN THE ABSENCE OF PATRIOTISM BY CORPORATIONS AND BUSINESSES – IS GRADUALLY DESTROYING AMERICA! LIKE IT OR NOT, WE NEED TO CAUTIOUSLY EMBRACE SOCIALISM THAT IS TO BE MERGED WITH CAPITALISM! SUCH IS THE CASE WITH OUR CONTROL OVER OUR ENERGY NEEDS! I KNOW AMERICANS DON’T LIKE THIS IDEA, BUT I’M AFRAID AS OUR MANUFACTURING BASE DWINDLES AND THE AVAILABLE JOBS BECOME RETAIL SALES – SELLING US PRODUCTS THAT WE ONCE MANUFACTURED – WE MUST (THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT MUST) SUBSIDIZE CERTAIN CORPORATIONS AND BUSINESSES. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT MUST CONTROL A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF OUR ENERGY NEEDS. WE MUST CREATE A CONSUMPTION TAX! WE MUST CONTROL PROSTITUTION AND GAMBLING, THE SALE OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, DRUGS AND A POST OFFICE THAT PAYS WELL YET TURNS A REASONABLE PROFIT!

AMERICA – THE INTERNATIONAL POLICE FORCE – IS ARE ALL TOO OFTEN SEEN AS HEGEMONIC AND IMPERIALISTIC! ALL OUR MILITARY BASE SITUATED ON THE SOUTH/NORTH KOREAN BORDER IS TO INTIMIDATE AND TO ANTAGONIZE! THEY ARE SIMPLY AN ECONOMIC DRAIN! THEY ARE THE OBSOLETE REMNANTS OF A GLORIOUS LEGACY! ITÕS TIME TO BRING THEM HOME TO CONTEND WITH OUR CIVIL WAR THAT’S RAGING IN IMPECUNIOUS NEIGHBORHOODS!

PERSONALLY I VIEW AMERICA’S IDEOLOGICAL, ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL STANCES AS RATHER LIKE A HANDYMAN WHO IS MAINTAINING HOMES WITHIN HIS NEIGHBORHOOD – WHILE NEGLECTING THE VERY HOUSE THAT BOTH HE AND HIS FAMILY LIVE IN! AIDS/HIV, STD’S, TOBACCO, ALCOHOL, GAMBLING AND ILLICIT DRUGS PLAGUE OUR CHILDREN! IF THE PARENTS OF THESE CHILDREN ARE DYSFUNCTIONAL – THEN IT IS UP TO THE SCHOOLS (TEACHERS AS SURROGATES) TO STEP IN AND INCULCATE AND ADMONISH THE CHILDREN AS TO THE DANGERS OR PERILS EACH OF THEM WILL OR HAVE ENCOUNTERED!

IT’S SIMPLY TIME TO HAVE NATO, THE E.U. AND THE UNITED NATIONS (WITH TEETH!) TO TAKE OVER THE OBLIGATION OF POLICING THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY! IT’S TIME FOR AMERICA TO CONFRONT IT’S OWN HOMEGROWN PROBLEMS. PROBLEMS THAT LEAD TO THE PREMATURE AND READILY PREVENTABLE DEATHS OF HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF IT’S CITIZENS; FROM GANG VIOLENCE TO MEDICAL MALPRACTICE, FROM AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS TO DISEASE!

WE HAVE AN NINETEEN TO TWENTY TRILLION DOLLAR NATIONAL DEBT CREATED PRIMARILY BY THE REPUBLICANS – WHO CURIOUSLY BLAME THAT DEBT ON THE OVERTAXING OF ITÕS CONSTITUENTS. REPUBLICANS WHOSE ANSWER TO OUR ECONOMIC RECESSION IS TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH! AND NOT THE CREATION OF WELL PAYING LONG TERM JOBS REPAIRING OR REPLACING INFRASTRUCTURE! WE ARE SPENDING WHAT HAS BEEN ESTIMATED AT TWELVE BILLION DOLLARS PER MONTH IN IRAQ ALONE! (SO HOW MUCH IS THE INTEREST ON OUR DEBTS???) FOR SOME REASON WE REFUSE TO USE IRAQI OIL TO FINANCE IRAQ’S PROTECTION AND REPAIR OF INFRASTRUCTURE! WE HAVE BEEN IN IRAQ TRAINING THEIR SOLDIERS FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW. AND IT’S MY OPINION THAT IT’S TIME FOR THE IRAQI PEOPLE TO PROTECT THEMSELVES. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT IF THEY DO INDEED WANT TO EMBRACE DEMOCRATIC IDEALS – TO LIVE AS CITIZENS WHO HAVE LEGISLATORS WHO DRAFT LAWS; WHO ARE RULED BY A REPUBLIC; THEN THE SKILLS THAT THEY HAVE ACQUIRED OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS AND THEIR MOTIVATION TO EMBOLDEN THEIR FLEDGLING DEMOCRACY/REPUBLIC – SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO PERMIT THEM TO CONDUCT THEMSELVES AS SENTINELS AND PROGENITORS OF THEIR OWN FATE AND DESTINATION!

THE POINT IS THE “HANDYMAN” MUST PLACE HIS DETERIORATING HOUSE FIRST. TO POSTPONE THE RESTORATION OF HIS NEIGHBORS RESIDENCES – AT LEAST UNTIL HIS HOUSE IS PLACED IN FUNDAMENTALLY GOOD ORDER! IF NEED BE, I SUGGEST THAT YOU EMPLOY THE RESOURCES OF THE EU, NATO AND THE UN – WHOSE RESOURCES ONCE COMBINED WILL

QUITE READILY OVERWHELM AND OR RESTRAIN ANY AND ALL MISBEHAVIOR, ABUSE OR CORRUPTION!

I’M CERTAIN THAT YOU’RE ALREADY AWARE OF THIS BUSINESS APPROACH, BUT WHEN BUSINESSES MUST CUT CORNERS BY REDUCING JOBS; INSTEAD OF FIRING PEOPLE OUTRIGHT –

REDUCE THE FIVE DAY WORK WEEK TO FOUR DAYS. IF THAT’S NOT ENOUGH, DO SOMETHING THAT WILL ANGER EVERYONE! SIMPLY LOWER WAGES! THE INTENTION IS TO KEEP MORE PEOPLE EMPLOYED AS WELL AS SHARING THE FINANCIAL BURDEN! HARD TIMES CALL FOR DRASTIC MEASURES! JUST BE HAPPY THAT YOU’RE STILL EMPLOYED!

UNDERSTAFFED INSPECTORS

NOBODY APPRECIATES THE EXPENSE AND INEFFICIENCY OF ANY FEDERAL BUREAUCRACY! I BELIEVE THAT IT’S COMMON KNOWLEDGE THAT INSPECTORS OF ALL TYPES ARE GROSSLY UNDER STAFFED. SO WHAT I SUGGEST ARE DRACONIAN PENALTIES; SIGNIFICANT FINES COMBINED WITH JAIL TIME AS WELL AS UNANNOUNCED ARBITRARY INSPECTIONS! THIS SHOULD INCLUDE CHILDREN’S TOYS, SLAUGHTER HOUSES, MEAT PACKING PLANTS, PHARMACEUTICALS, TREATMENT OF THE ELDERLY, INTELLECTUALLY, EMOTIONALLY AND PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED!

THE MASS PRODUCTION OF GANGS

HIGH SCHOOL DROPOUTS WITH NO POSSIBILITY OF EMPLOYMENT DUE TO AN ABSENCE OF READING, WRITING, AND MATH SKILLS. ALL OF WHICH MAY LEAD TO HOMELESSNESS OR THE ENTRY INTO A GANG WHERE EDUCATION IS NEITHER AN ASSET OR A LIABILITY! THERE’S THE AVAILABILITY OF DRUG-ADDICTED PROSTITUTES AND A SIGNIFICANT DEMAND FOR ILLICIT DRUGS – BOTH OF WHICH YIELD LARGE AMOUNTS OF UNDECLARED MONEY! AMERICAN’S ARE CREATING THE DEMAND AND AS SUCH THERE WILL BE A SUPPLY! SO IF YOU ASK ME, IT’S OUR FAULT! IT’S CAPITALISM – ECONOMICS 101!

WITHIN THE MAJORITY OF GANGS – THERE IS A FEELING OF HOPELESSNESS ABOUT THE FUTURE. THEY HAVE NO PROSPECTS OF ATTAINING THE AMERICAN DREAM – BY PLAYING BY THE RULES. THERE IS RAW PERVASIVE BITTERNESS AND ANGER TOWARDS SOCIETY AND COMPLETE AND UTTER INDIFFERENCE TOWARDS OUR CONVOLUTED AND HYPOCRITICAL POLITICAL SYSTEM! (THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE, DELEGATES AND SUPER DELEGATES – WHAT A BUNCH OF CRAPOLLA!) THERE ARE GANG NOVITIATES WHOSE SELF-ESTEEM AND IDENTITY IS TIED INTO MEMBERSHIP – EVEN AS THEY BECOME ACCLIMATED TO THE RISK AND POTENTIAL PITFALLS! ALL OF WHICH IS OVERSHADOWED BY A MATERIALISTIC APPETITE AND AN INEVITABLE INDULGENCE FOR THE FINER THINGS IN LIFE. STUFF DESIRED TOO BY THE POPULATION, THE AFFLUENT, THE SYBARITE, THE ERUDITE AND THE INTELLECTUAL, THE THEIST AND THE ATHEIST! SO ONCE AGAIN WHAT THE HELL AM I TRYING TO SAY? GREED MOTIVATES! BUT THE UNBRIDLED PURSUIT OF STUFF, LANDS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF BASICALLY GOOD-NATURED PEOPLE IN PRISON. THE SUPERFICIAL PURSUIT OF STUFF ALSO ALL TOO OFTEN LEADS TO LOSS OF LIFE! AN EXCHANGE OF LIFE LOST WHILE IN PURSUIT OF MONEY OR THAT WHICH IT CAN BUY – AN EXCHANGE THAT IS DISPROPORTIONALLY OUT OF KILTER; EVEN WHEN THE BOOTY OBTAINED IS HUGE IN NUMBER, QUANTITY OR VALUE!

“THE MEDIA!”

THE NEXT SUBJECT I WOULD LIKE TO EXPOUND ON – IS THAT ÒTHE MEDIAÓ ALL TOO OFTEN DIMINISHES THE VALUE OF HUMAN LIFE! I WOULD POSIT THAT, MURDER IS NEARLY UBIQUITOUS IN NATURE AND IS THE FOCAL POINT OF SEEMINGLY UBIQUITOUS LAW ENFORCEMENT OR DETECTIVE DRAMAS! CHILDREN SEE LOSS OF LIFE ON TV AND IN GREAT ABUNDANCE! THOSE CHILDREN LIVING IN POOR NEIGHBORHOODS ENCOUNTER DEATH – OFTEN INVOLVING INNOCENT BYSTANDERS.

LOST INNOCENT HUMAN LIVES THAT ARE VIEWED BY THE PERPETRATORS AS “INCONSEQUENTIAL COLLATERAL DAMAGE!Ó AN OVERLOAD OF VIOLENCE, NOISE, DEPRAVITY, THE SIGHTS OF IMPECUNIOSITY, THE HOMELESS WHO ARE ALL TOO FREQUENTLY DRUG AND ALCOHOL ADDICTED; THE HOMELESS WHO ARE SELF-MEDICATING – USING ILLICIT DRUGS! ALL OF WHICH LEADS TO FAR TOO MUCH DIURNAL STIMULATION THAT THE HUMAN BRAIN CAN PROCESS! THE THEORETICAL OUTCOME IS ACUTE DESENSITIZATION OR STILL WORSE THE MASS PRODUCTION OF THE PSYCHOPATH OR SOCIOPATH!

AND BECAUSE WE HAVE MILLIONS OF HARDWORKING CITIZENS WHO LIVE OFF LOW OR MINIMUM WAGE JOBS; WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO REDUCE OUR NATIONAL DEBT! WE WILL LOSE REVENUES TO BE DIRECTED TOWARDS SOCIAL PROGRAMS. AND WE WILL END UP WITH FAR MORE CITIZENS WHO WILL BE INCARCERATED DUE TO THE PURSUIT OF STUFF AND IN THE ABSENCE OF RULES!

PRISON TIME THAT COSTS TAX PAYERS THIRTY TO FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS PER YEAR! NOT TO DISREGARD THE DAMAGE TO BOTH PEOPLE AND TO PROPERTY! INCLUDED IS THE LOSS TO TAX REVENUES, THE MONETARY DRAIN AND THE USE OF ALREADY STRAINED RESOURCES!

XENOPHOBIA IN AMERICA

UNFORTUNATELY, ALL I SEE AS AN OUTSIDER IS PEOPLE OF DIVERSE ETHNICITY WHO ARE MOVING INTO COMMUNITIES THAT REFLECT THEIR PARTICULAR RACE, NATIONAL ORIGIN, LANGUAGE AND CULTURE! IT IS MY PERCEPTION RIGHT OR WRONG – THAT THERE ARE VERY FEW NEIGHBORHOODS THAT REFLECT AMERICA’S ETHNIC DIVERSITY! JUST AS THE RICH DON’T RESIDE AMONG THE POOR! MY SOLE REGRET IS THAT THERE IS NO COMMUNITY THAT IS DOMINATED BY PARANOID SCHIZOPHRENIC VOYEURISTIC ONANISTS!

WILL SUCH ETHNICALLY-BIASED COMMUNITIES EVENTUALLY RESULT IN A SOCIAL AND A POLITICAL SCHISM? (I BELIEVE THAT IT ALREADY HAS!) IT’S MY BELIEF THAT IT’S TIME FOR COMMUNITY ACTIVISTS INCLUDING LOCAL POLITICIANS AND RELIGIOUS LEADERS TO PUBLICLY EMBRACE ETHNIC DIVERSITY! THAT MEANS THAT REAL ESTATE BROKERS MUST BE WILLING TO PLACE THOSE REPRESENTING DISPARATE GROUPS THAT ARE RACIALLY, RELIGIOUSLY AND OF A DIFFERENT NATIONAL ORIGIN, INTO NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WERE ONCE UNIFORM AND HOMOGENOUS ALONG RACIAL AND THEOLOGICAL LINES! OBVIOUSLY DESPITE OUR DIFFERENCES, ITÕS TIME THAT WE VIEWED ONE ANOTHER SIMPLY AS MEMBERS OF THE SAME HUMAN RACE. AND EVEN MORE RELEVANT TO THOSE OF US WHO ARE THEISTS, IS THAT EACH OF US ARE EQUAL IN THE EYES OF GOD!

THIS I BELIEVE IS A UNIVERSAL TRUTH OR AXIOM!

ANTIMISSILE MISSILE SYSTEM!

SORRY, BUT ANYONE WHO HAS THE TECHNOLOGY TO KNOCK OUT OUR COMMUNICATION AND (GLOBAL) DIRECTIONAL SATELLITES – POSES A MILITARY THREAT TO US! WHAT I SUGGEST IS INSTALLING AN ANTIMISSILE ANTIMISSILE SYSTEM ON YOUR SATELLITES! IT WILL TAKE TIME, MONEY AND TALENTED ENGINEERS YEARS TO DEVELOP. BUT IT WOULD EVENTUALLY OBVIATE SATELLITES COMPOSED OF NONMETALLIC MATERIAL AND THAT DOES NOT EMIT A HEAT SIGNATURE! AT LEAST SUCH TECHNOLOGIES WILL KEEP OUR ENGINEERS OCCUPIED AS WELL AS CHALLENGED!

HEALTH CARE/CLINICS

CONCERNING THE DESPERATE NEED FOR CLINICS FOR THE INDIGENT; FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NO HEALTH CARE INSURANCE AND SIMPLY CANNOT AFFORD IT! IT WAS SUGGESTED BY A WELL KNOWN RETAIL ESTABLISHMENT THAT THEY WERE CONSIDERING THE INSTALLATION OF CLINICS IN OR NEAR THEIR RETAIL STORES. IN MY OPINION THE GOAL IN SUCH AN UNDERTAKING SHOULD BE THE USE OF VOLUNTEERS BY DOCTORS, NURSE PRACTITIONERS, NURSES AND MILITARY MEDICS! A MAINFRAME WITH A NEXUS WITH ALL OTHER CLINICS, FURNISHED WITH APPROPRIATE SOFTWARE TO AID AS A DIAGNOSTIC TOOL, THE SHARING OF INDIVIDUAL, PERSONAL MEDICAL HISTORY, DRUG INTERACTIONS, A LINK WITH LOCAL HOSPITALS, PARAMEDICS AND PHARMACIES. GOOD LUCK!

I HATE TO ONCE AGAIN BREACH THIS CONTROVERSIAL SUBJECT BUT I TRULY BELIEVE THAT RU486 IS A GODSEND! ABORTION, WHICH IS AN OBSCENITY, IF CARRIED-OUT, MUST TAKE PLACE AS EARLY AS IS POSSIBLE! THE “MORNING AFTER PILL” PROVIDES THE SOLUTION TO THE OBVIATION OF THE LATE TERM ABORTIONS! ALL I CAN HOPE FOR IS THAT RU486 IS MADE AFFORDABLE TO EVERYONE – BECAUSE THERE ARE FAR TOO MANY CHILDREN TREATING WOMEN AS TOYS – AS SPERM RECEPTACLES! THERE ARE FAR TOO MANY CHILDREN WHO JUST DONÕT SEE THE DISGUSTING OUTCOME OF SUCH AN IMMATURE MENTALITY.

TAKE BACK THE STREETS!

MORE POLICE OFFICERS, A CONTINGENCY SUPPLEMENTED BY THE NATIONAL GUARDS, THE UNITED STATES MARINES, INTER FAITH GROUPS; CHRISTIANS, MUSLIMS, JEWS AND SO FORTH. EACH OF WHOM SHOULD ATTEMPT TO REACH OUT TO MEMBERS OF ORGANIZED CRIME! ATTEMPT TO PROVIDE GANG MEMBERS WITH OPTIONS; PROGRAMS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO EQUIP THEM WITH A HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION, AN ASSOCIATES DEGREE, ENTRY INTO A VOCATIONAL SCHOOL – TRAINING TO BECOME A SKILLED CRAFTSMAN! PROVIDE THEM WITH APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS TO COINCIDE WITH VOCATIONAL CHOICES! ESPECIALLY GIVE THE PAROLED GANG MEMBER A SECOND CHANCE AND AN OPPORTUNITY AT SUCCEEDING IN A SPECIFIC PROFESSION! ABOVE ALL – INVEST IN JOBS! JOBS! JOBS! USE PAROLED FELONS TO TRANSFORM THE VERY SLUMS AND BARRIOS THEY LIVE IN!

THE PROPHYLACTIC APPROACH!

HOW MUCH OF ILLNESS, OF EXPENSIVE MEDICAL CARE – IS PREVENTABLE? HOW MUCH OF DISEASE IS CONGENITAL? HOW MUCH DISEASE IS SIMPLY DUE TO SMOKING, DRINKING, DRUGGING, POOR DIET OR NUTRITION AND A TOTAL LACK OF EXERCISE??? AS SUCH WE HAVE NO ALTERNATIVE BUT TO START AT THE BOTTOM; TO USE THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM – EDUCATING CHILDREN; EDUCATING THEIR PARENTS OR PARENT! TURN CHILDREN INTO HEALTH NUTS! FINANCIALLY BACK OR SUBSIDIZE THE CUB SCOUTS, BOY SCOUTS AND GIRL SCOUTS! CREATE A CLUB FOR OLDER CHILDREN AND ADULTS! HUNT, FISH, HIKE AND TEACH THEM HOW TO LIVE OFF THE LAND! HAVE CHILDREN (WHO ATTEND SCHOOL TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY DAYS PER YEAR – SEVEN HOURS PER DAY!) CONTRIBUTE TO THE “NEO-GENTRIFICATION” PROCESS OF THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD FOLLOWING SCHOOL! HAVE THEM WORK SIDE BY SIDE WITH FELONS WHO HAVE BECOME LAW ABIDING, TAXPAYING CITIZENS! INSTEAD OF KEEPING (NONVIOLENT) CONVICTED FELONS IN PRISONS FOR TWENTY-FOUR HOURS PER DAY; HAVE THEM WORK WITH DISABLED VETERANS, CHILDREN AND OR ADULTS WHO ARE COMBATING A POTENTIALLY LETHAL DISEASE, WITH THE ELDERLY AND INFIRMED AND IN PARTICULAR, IN ANIMAL SHELTERS! DO THE UNSPEAKABLE! REINFORCE GOOD BEHAVIOR WITH A QUART OF BEER OR WINE, A CIGAR OR PIPE TOBACCO! AND IN PARTICULAR, UPON THEIR RELEASE, HAVE A GOOD WELL-PAYING JOB, DECENT HOUSING (CONSTRUCTED FOR THE DRUG AND ALCOHOL-ADDICTED, THE HOMELESS AND MENTALLY-ILL WHO DO NOT COOPERATE WITH PSYCHIATRIC FACILITIES!) HALFWAY HOUSES, PRIVATE RESIDENCES WHO EMBRACE AN “ADOPT A FELON PROGRAM” OR A FOSTER CARE COMPLEX – ALL OF WHICH IS IN PLACE AND AWAITING HIS OR HER ARRIVAL! THE OBJECTIVE OR GOAL BEING TO CONSIDERABLY REDUCE THE RATE OF RECIDIVISM; VICTIMIZATION TO INNOCENTS AND THE LOSS OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY! HE OR SHE WILL HOPEFULLY ACCEPT THE DIURNAL EIGHT HOUR PER DAY JOB; THE ENVIRONMENT PROVIDED TO THEM TO AT LEAST TEMPORARILY RESIDE IN AND THE EMOTIONAL SUPPORT PROVIDED TO THEM IN THE FORM OF REHABILITATION FOR DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSE, OTHER DELINEATED ADDICTIONS, AS WELL AS CURBING AND ADDRESSING ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOR! HAVING SUCCEEDED IN COMPLETING A FORTY HOUR WORK WEEK FOR SIX MONTHS – REHABILITATED CITIZENS HAVE THE ADULT PRIVILEGE OF LOCATING AND RENTING AN APARTMENT, PURCHASING FURNITURE AND ELECTRONICS, SHOPPING FOR THEIR OWN FOOD, COOKING, CLEANING AND MAINTAINING A DRUG, ALCOHOL AND TOBACCO-FREE LIFE! GIVE THE REHABILITATED CITIZEN AN OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND SCHOOL; TO SEEK VOCATIONAL TRAINING; AN APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM OR TO CONTINUE FULL TIME WORK IN THEIR DELIBERATELY CHOSEN FIELD! TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE FACT THAT THE UNITED STATES IS FACED WITH OVER TWO TRILLION DOLLARS IN INFRASTRUCTURE THAT MUST BE RENOVATED, MODIFIED OR REPLACED! SO DON’T TRY TO TELL ME THAT THERE ARENÕT ENOUGH JOBS TO ACCOMMODATE THE DEMAND!!! ALL WE’LL END UP DOING IS REDIRECTING FUNDING TO INCARCERATE TOWARDS FUNDING TO EMPLOY!!! (DOES ANYONE UNDERSTAND THIS???)

AN INTERNATIONAL JOB SERVICE!

AN INTERNATIONAL JOB SERVICE THAT LINKS ANTICIPATED CORPORATE AND BUSINESS NEEDS WITH STUDENTS THAT CAN BE ASSISTED IN SATISFYING THE JOB MARKET – BY PURSUING SPECIFIC DEGREES THAT WILL EVENTUALLY MELD WITH THE NEEDS OF THE MARKET!

THE HOUSE AND SENATE MUST LEGISLATE AN EARMARK THAT WILL INJECT MONEY INTO BARRIOS AND SLUMS – IN ORDER TO BEGIN THE “NEO-GENTRIFICATION” PROCESS. TO APPOINT A SMALL COMMITTEE OF VOLUNTEERS (APPROACHING THIS DILEMMA NEIGHBORHOOD BY NEIGHBORHOOD!) WHO WILL BID ON AUCTIONED OFF HOUSES OR TO “ACQUIRE” THOSE HOUSES THAT HAVE BEEN ABANDONED – WITH THE GOAL OF RENOVATION. TO INJECT FIVE TO TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS INTO HOUSES THAT ARE NOT TOO RUN DOWN OR DETERIORATED (TO INCLUDE BOTH MATERIALS AND LABOR!) AND WITH THE GOAL TO SELL IT BACK TO THE PREVIOUS HOMEOWNER AND FOR A PITTANCE. THE OBJECTIVE IS TO MAKE A PROFIT OF AT LEAST FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS PER HOUSE! TO RETURN THE HOMEOWNER TO HIS OR HER PREVIOUSLY FORECLOSED UPON RESIDENCE; WITH A MONTHLY PAYMENT THAT IS EVEN SMALLER THAN THE RENTAL OF A TWO BEDROOM APARTMENT! TO KEEP PAROLED FELONS (REHABILITATED CITIZENS) STUDENTS AND THOSE WHOSE HOUSES WERE FORECLOSED UPON DUE TO JOB LOSS; HARD WORKING PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN HAMPERED BY A LAYOFF; WAR HEROES (VETERANS!) AS WELL AS THOSE WHO ARE ÒINTELLECTUALLY CHALLENGED.Ó A SYSTEM OR APPROACH THAT COINCIDES WITH A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF BUSINESSES WHO ARE BEGINNING A NEW HOPEFULLY PROSPEROUS TRANSITION! WHICH INCLUDES EMPLOYMENT FOR A COMMUNITY THAT WAS HOPELESS AND UNDER SIEGE! ALL OF WHICH IS UNDER THE AEGIS OF POLICE, NATIONAL GUARD TROOPS, ARMY AND OR MARINES!!! A COMMUNITY OF CHILDREN WHO WERE ONCE SEVERELY DISADVANTAGED – WHOSE EDUCATION WAS HAMPERED BY DISOBEDIENT DISRUPTIVE STUDENTS, OBSOLETE BOOKS, AN ABSENCE OF COMPUTERS WITH EDUCATIONAL SOFTWARE; CHILDREN WHO BELIEVED THAT THEY WOULD NEVER HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND A COLLEGE OR A UNIVERSITY. MOST OF WHICH IS DUE TO LOW SAT SCORES, LOW SELF-ESTEEM, DYSFUNCTIONAL PARENTS OR PARENT – WHO SHARE THEIR SELF DESTRUCTIVE THINKING WITH THEIR YOUNG IMPRESSIONABLE CHILDREN! CHILDREN WHO ARE SURROUNDED BY THOSE WHO CHOOSE SHORTCUTS THAT CAN LEAD TO AN ABUNDANCE OF STUFF AND IN THE BLARING ABSENCE OF TOIL! SHORTCUTS THAT CAN LEAD TO A PATH TOWARDS INCARCERATION! BUT DUE TO A DELIBERATE INJECTION OF FUNDING FOR THE GENTRIFICATION OF IMPOVERISHED NEIGHBORHOODS; THE CREATION OF LONG TERM WELL PAYING JOBS. AND WITH AN EXPANDED TAX BASE THAT CREATES FUNDING TO REPAIR DISINTEGRATING, ILL EQUIPPED SCHOOLS! THE REINVIGORATION OF IMPORTUNED TEACHERS!

WITH THE INTENDED GOAL OF NOT ONLY A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA, BUT THE ACHIEVEMENT OF AN ASSOCIATES OR BACHELORS DEGREE! WHICH WOULD ALSO INCLUDE THE GOAL OF A MIRACULOUS ONE HUNDRED PERCENT GRADUATION RATE! ALL OF WHICH IS GUIDED AND IMPLEMENTED BY A DETERMINED TEACHER OR PEDAGOGUE, WITH A CRUCIAL SENSE OF HUMOR, AN ABILITY TO MAKE LEARNING FUN AND WHILE INSPIRING CURIOSITY AND EAGER ANTICIPATION!

IRAQ!

SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN – WHO I DEEPLY AND SINCERELY RESPECT, BELIEVES THAT A PULLOUT OF IRAQ – WOULD HAVE THE TERRORISTS DANCING IN THE STREETS! SENATOR MCCAIN BELIEVES THAT IF THE U.S. MILITARY PULLS-OUT – THAT WE WILL HAVE LOST THE WAR! THE FACT IS THAT IF WE EXIT IRAQ, AND THE TERRORISTS DANCE IN THE STREETS – IT’S IRAQ WHO WILL BE THE LOSER! THE SIMPLE UNADULTERATED TRUTH IS THAT SIX TO SEVEN YEARS OF TRAINING FOR THE IRAQI TROOPS IS MORE THAN ENOUGH! BESIDES THE TRUE SOLUTION LIES IN DEBATE AND DISCUSSION! IN WHICH THE UNITED STATES WILL HAVE TO MAKE UNATTRACTIVE DEMEANING COMPROMISES! COMPROMISES THAT WILL BE REJECTED OUTRIGHT DUE TO OUR STATUS AS A SUPER POWER! AND YES! DUE TO OUR SUPER EGOÕS! WE WILL NOT CLOSE EVEN A MODERATE NUMBER OF OUR MILITARY BASES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD (PARTICULARLY IN ARAB/MUSLIM COUNTRIES.) DESPITE THE FACT THAT WEÕRE SQUANDERING LIMITED TAX REVENUES, RESOURCES AND MANPOWER! AND IN SOME CASES – SUCH AS THE BASE ON THE BORDER OF NORTH KOREA – OUR PRESENCE IS THREATENING AND ANTAGONISTIC! I JUST WISH THAT SOUTH KOREA HAD THE GUTS TO ASK US TO LEAVE! (THANKS – BUT NO THANKS!)

SO? WHICH COMES FIRST – DYSFUNCTIONAL PEOPLE WHO TURN TO DRUGS? OR DRUG USE THAT LEADS TO DYSFUNCTIONAL PEOPLE? HOW MUCH DOES DISSATISFACTION WITH ONESELF ENTER INTO THE PICTURE???

FOR ME (AND I BELIEVE FOR MANY) – PERSONALLY, IT WAS A POOR SELF IMAGE; HOMOSEXUAL FEELINGS; THE NEED TO ESCAPE , AS WELL AS SIMPLE CURIOSITY – THAT LEAD ME (AS A TEEN!) TO EXPERIMENT WITH ILLICIT DRUGS.

MY QUESTION IS – HOW MANY PEOPLE WHO ATTEND A HOUSE OF WORSHIP – DO ILLICIT DRUGS? THE CONCISE ANSWER IS NONE! SO THE POSITIVE ASPECTS OF RELIGION ARE THAT IT CAN INCREASE SELF-ESTEEM, TRANSFORM YOU INTO AHEALTH NUT, HELP YOU TO EMBRACE ASCETICISM, TO GIVE YOU HOPE, COURAGE AND OPTIMISM! SO AT LEAST THOSE WHO ARE PIOUS MAKE MUCH BETTER CITIZENS; THAT IS, WHEN THEYÕRE NOT KILLING ONE ANOTHER! SO THE FACT IS THAT NEARLY ANY RELIGION CAN PROVIDE STRUCTURE, ETHICAL OR MORAL BOUNDARIES, A FEELING OF CAMARADERIE, MEMBERSHIP AND A FEELING OF BELONGING! I JUST WISH THAT CHRISTIANS WOULD STOP DEMEANING AND MARGINALIZING OTHER CHRISTIAN DENOMINATIONS!!!

SOME QUICKIES THAT I ALREADY BELIEVE I COVERED!

1) ADOPT A SCHOOL PROGRAMS (IN IMPOVERISHED NEIGHBORHOODS!) WHICH IS AN EXCELLENT CAUSE FOR THE WEALTHY!

2) VOLUNTEER HANDYMEN TO MAKE REPAIRS IN IMPOVERISHED SCHOOLS!

3) ABOLISH THE DEATH TAX! (ESPECIALLY WHEN IT RISKS BREAKING UP A FAMILY FARM OR BUSINESS!)

4) CREATE A CONSUMPTION TAX – SO THAT EVERYONE PAYS THEIR SHARE OF TAXES! CREATE DRACONIAN FINES TO INHIBIT THE INEVITABLE GROWTH OF THE ÒBLACK MARKETÓ!

5) TO HELP FINANCE THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM – GLEAN FIVE PERCENT OF ALL FINANCIAL AWARDS IN LAWSUITS! CREATE PRISON MANUFACTURING PLANTS THAT WILL COMPETE WITH CHINA! VOLUNTEER EMPLOYMENT THAT WILL PROVIDE WORKERS WITH A STIPEND. AND AT THE END OF AN EIGHT OR TEN HOUR DAY – A QUART OF BEER OR WINE; A CIGAR, PIPE TOBACCO OR SEVERAL CIGARETTES!

FRUSTRATED, ANGRY, EVEN VIOLENT PEOPLE (SOME OF WHOM ARE DRUG AND ALCOHOL ADDICTED!) HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND, LET ALONE NURTURE HIS OR HER GOD-GIVEN TALENT! THE PRESENCE OF AFFLATUS – A SPECIAL ABILITY, A GIFT THAT EACH OF US HAS TO FERRET-OUT, TO DEVELOP OR NURTURE! WHICH MAY INCLUDE THE INTRINSIC BELIEF IN A HIGHER-POWER!!!

BELEAGUERED CHILDREN WHO ARE BOMBARDED WITH A FRENETIC, CHAOTIC OFTEN VIOLENT SURROUNDING –LEADS TO BLUNTED AFFECT AND IN A WORSE CASE SCENARIO – TO PSYCHOPATHIC BEHAVIOR OR MENTALITY! AND HAVING COMPLETED A SEVEN HOUR DAY OF ATTEMPTING TO ABSORB LOTS OF DATA – THAT TO THE EMOTIONALLY TRAUMATIZED – APPEARS DOWNRIGHT USELESS! MATH, SCIENCE, HISTORY, ENGLISH LITERATURE, FOREIGN LANGUAGE – NONE OF WHICH AIDS THEM IN THE ABILITY TO EITHER UNDERSTAND, EMBRACE, CONTEND WITH, NOR ACCLIMATE TO A COMMUNITY WHICH IS IN THE MIDST OF A CIVIL WAR! CHILDREN WHO ALL TOO OFTEN – DUE TO A VERY SHORT SCHOOL YEAR – UTILIZE THEIR SPARE OR ABUNDANCE OF TIME BY GETTING INTO MISCHIEF!

DARE I ASK, WHAT IS THE COST TO SOCIETY FOR ALCOHOL ABUSE, INCLUDING DUIÕS, FAMILIAL AND SOCIETAL VIOLENCE AND A LOSS OF WORK DUE TO SO CALLED SICK DAYS? HOW MANY LIVES ARE LOST DUE TO DUIÕS? SO WHAT MIGHT I ASK – SHOULD ÒPROHIBITIONÓ TEACH US ABOUT ILLICIT DRUGS??? AND WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT AMERICAÕS APPETITE FOR THOSE DRUGS?

THERE ARE THOSE WHO ARE JUST TOO PREOCCUPIED WITH MAKING MONEY, RAISING A FAMILY, WHO ARE ENGROSSED BY CREATIVE OR INTELLECTUAL PURSUITS – THAT KEEPS THEM FROM BOTH THE CEREBRAL AND EMOTIONAL OBFUSCATION THAT DRUGS AND ALCOHOL USAGE INDUCE; AS WELL AS THE RADICAL HIGHS AND LOWS OF MOOD THAT CLOUD OR DISTORT ACUMEN!

THOSE WHO ARE EMOTIONALLY MATURE GET HIGH ON LIFE! THEY CAMP, HIKE, ÒMUSHROOMÓ; THEY STUDY NATURE. THEY COLLECT ART. THEY READ LITERATURE. THEY ENJOY MUSIC, MOVIES, GOURMET MEALS, SCENTS, SENSUAL MASSAGE, YOGA AND TAI CHI -ON AND ON AND ON!

EVERYONE NEEDS A PURPOSE AND A CAUSE. FOR MANY AROUND THE WORLD, MAKING MONEY IS THEIR SOLE PURPOSE IN LIFE! THEY LACK ANY AMBITION OR FUTURE GOAL, THAT BENEFITS THE IMPOVERISHED, THE DISEASED, THE OPPRESSED, THE ILLITERATE, THE HUNGRY, THE VULNERABLE AND EXPLOITED! YOU CAN BE AN ADVOCATE FOR HELPLESS ANIMALS (ALTHOUGH I WOULD HOPE THAT YOU WOULD VIE TO ASSIST THE PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED BY THE BESET AND BELEAGUERED HUMAN RACE!). YOU CAN ADOPT A SCHOOL IN A SLUM OR BARRIO! FOR THOSE WHO ARE FINANCIALLY ABLE, YOU CAN DONATE FUNDS TO CHARITIES OR RESEARCH FACILITIES! YOU CAN HELP FUND THE DOMESTIC PEACE CORP. TO HELP JUMP START THE “NEO-GENTRIFICATION” PROCESS! YOU CAN CREATE SCHOLARSHIPS FOR THE POVERTY-STRICKEN DISADVANTAGED STUDENT! YOU CAN ADOPT A FELON (REHABILITATED CITIZEN)

ACCEPTING HIM OR HER IN AN APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM! YOU CAN SPONSOR A HOMELESS PERSON OR FAMILY! YOU CAN PAY YOUR SHARE (AS WELL AS THAT OF YOUR FAMILIES SHARE) OF THE NATIONAL DEBT! YOU CAN BE A TREE HUGGER, HUMANITARIAN, PHILANTHROPIST, AN ADVOCATE FOR THE PERPETUATION OF MILDEW! WHAT EVER STRIKES YOUR FANCY!

STEM CELL RESEARCH!

A MASS OF CELLS IS NOT A HUMAN BEING! AND I REALIZE THAT SOME OF YOU FIND THAT POSIT AS COMPLETELY ARROGANT! HOWEVER I RESPECT YOUR VIEW. YOU’RE SIMPLY “GUILTY OF” BEING EMPATHETIC, COMPASSIONATE. YOU’RE MOTIVATED BY A SENSE OF COMPASSION!

WHAT COULD BE MORE CONTROVERSIAL THAN SUGGESTING THAT WE LEGALIZE ILLICIT DRUGS! AND WHAT WOULD BE THE RESULT OR EFFECT ON CRIME; THE RATE OF ADDICTION; THE FINANCIAL SAVINGS IN THE PRISON AS WELL AS THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM? HOW MANY LIVES WOULD BE SAVED BY ADMINISTERING A DEPENDABLE POTENCY OR DOSAGE – CARRIED-OUT AT CLINICS ACROSS AMERICA. HOW WOULD THE LEGALIZATION OF ILLICIT DRUGS AFFECT THE SPREAD OF HIV/AID’S?

WE NEED SEAT BELTS IN SCHOOL BUSES! WE NEED SCHOOL BUS FRAMES TO BE REINFORCED! BOTH OF WHICH WILL SAVE THE LIVES OF OUR CHILDREN!

AS I’VE ALREADY STATED BEFORE – ASK THE RICH TO PAY THEIR SHARE (AS WELL AS THAT OF THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS SHARE) OF THE NATIONAL DEBT. THOSE WHO LOVE THIS COUNTRY AND WHO CONSIDER THEMSELVES A PATRIOT, SHOULD HAVE NO APPREHENSION OR MISGIVING ABOUT CARRYING OUT SUCH A CHARITABLE ACT!

THE CLOSING OF MILITARY BASES AROUND THE GLOBE! FOLLOWED BY THE INSERTION OF TROOPS IN IMPOVERISHED NEIGHBORHOODS! THE GOAL IS TO END OUR CIVIL WAR – TO TAKE BACK THE STREETS! LET THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY BECOME THE WORLDÕS POLICE! ITÕS TIME FOR AMERICA TO TAKE CARE OF ITÕS OWN!

WE NEED A NATIONAL SYSTEM IN PLACE THAT LOCATES ABSENTEE FATHERS WHO DON’T SUPPORT THEIR CHILDREN EITHER FINANCIALLY OR EMOTIONALLY! WE NEED TO TRACK DOWN DAD’S WHO HAVE ABANDONED THEIR FAMILY – USING SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS, DRIVERS LICENSES, VEHICLE REGISTRATIONS!!!

WITH WELL OVER ONE MILLION CHILDREN DROPPING OUT OF SCHOOL EVERY YEAR – YOU WILL HAVE SIGNIFICANT NUMBERS OF MEMBERS WHO WILL JOIN GANGS! HOW WILL THIS EFFECT THE CRIME RATE? VICTIMIZATION OF INNOCENTS? THE PRISON POPULATION? THE RATE OF HOMELESSNESS? CHILD PROSTITUTION, DRUG AND ALCOHOL ADDICTION, AS WELL AS THE EXORBITANT COST TO SOCIETY!

AS PRESIDENT, HE OR SHE SHOULD REJECT ANY FINANCIAL COMPENSATION! AND ALL POLITICAL PARTIES – REPRESENTING THE DIVERSITY OF THEIR CONSTITUENTS – SHOULD BE PART OF HIS OR HER “VOLUNTARY TEAM!”; A TEAM OF WHICH WOULD INCLUDE SCIENTISTS, AND ENGINEERS – WHO TOO ARE VOLUNTEERING THEIR TIME AND EXPERTISE! PARTICIPATING IN DEBATES THAT LEAD TO CLOTURE – FOLLOWED BY A VOTE WHICH WOULD INCLUDE EVERYONE – IN PARTICULAR A VOTE IN PLEBISCITE BY THOSE VOTERS WHO HAVE BEEN OBSERVING THE COLLOQUY OR DEBATE ON A CABLE TV OR A COMPUTER WEB SITE! AND OF COURSE WITH THE SIGNATORY OPTION TO RATIFY OR VETO BY THE PRESIDENT WHOSE VETO OR RATIFICATION WILL BE HIGHLY INFLUENCED BY HIS OR HER “VOLUNTARY TEAM” – ASSUMING HE OR SHE IS NOT OVERLY ARROGANT AND CLOSE-MINDED!

EDUCATION OVER THE INTERNET SHOULD BE VERY EFFICIENT AND EXTREMELY INEXPENSIVE! YET IN ALL CASES EDUCATION OVER THE INTERNET IS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN ATTENDING THE UNIVERSITY – LIVING, EATING AND ATTENDING THE CAMPUS IN PERSON! ARE YOU EDUCATORS OR ARE YOU CAPITALISTS??? ARE YOU ATTEMPTING TO PROVIDE SOCIETY WITH AN INVALUABLE SERVICE? OR IS YOUR GOAL TO IMPROVE PEOPLES LIVES SIMPLY A RUSE???

SADLY, AMERICA MUST MAINTAIN AN IDEOLOGICAL FOE ALL IN ORDER TO JUSTIFY MILITARY EXPENDITURES. AS SUCH COUNTRIES SUCH AS IRAN, VENEZUELA (AND SADLY, RUSSIA WHO SHOULD BE AN ALLY!) LIBYA, COMMUNIST CHINA AS WELL AS NORTH KOREA – ARE EACH CONSIDERED COUNTRIES WHO ARE ON OUR LIST OF POTENTIAL IDEOLOGICAL AND MILITARY THREATS. THERE ARE COUNTRIES THROUGHOUT AFRICA WHO BOTH HOUSE AND TRAIN MUSLIM EXTREMISTS/TERRORISTS. THEY HELP BASES TO MASS PRODUCE “RELIGIOUS” MARTYRS WHO ARE PSYCHOLOGICALLY PREPARED FOR HOMICIDAL/SUICIDAL ATTACKS – WITH THE GOAL OF PLEASING ALLAH BY KILLING IDEOLOGICAL AS WELL AS THEOLOGICAL ADVERSARIES. PERSONALLY, I QUESTION THEIR MOTIVATION. IF THEIR GOAL IS PRIMARILY TO KILL THE INFIDEL – THEN THERE IS NO HOPE FOR A LASTING PEACEFUL SOLUTION. SOME HAVE STATED THAT IT’S PAST FOREIGN POLICIES THAT USUALLY INVOLVED THE BOLSTERING OF FLEDGLING DEMOCRACIES OR THE DELIBERATE SUBVERSION OF COMMUNIST (OR FASCIST) GOVERNMENTS AND THEIR LEADERSHIP. SOME BELIEVE THAT IT’S OUR RELATIONSHIP AND ALLIANCE WITH ISRAEL THAT IS THE PRINCIPLE ORIGIN AND OR CAUSE FOR OUR BEING TARGETED BY MILITANT ISLAM. ONLY EXACERBATING OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH ARAB/MUSLIM NATIONS – IS ISRAEL’S UNWILLINGNESS TO RETURN THE LAND THAT IT “ACQUIRED” IN THE ’67 WAR WITH IT’S ARAB/MUSLIM NEIGHBORS. PART OF THE CAUSE OF ISRAEL’S VILIFICATION AND TRANSFORMATION INTO A PARIAH IS THE ACQUISITION OF LAND GIVEN TO ISRAEL BY THE UNITED NATIONS – WHICH DROPPED THE JEWS INTO A “CALDRON” – A WELTER OF RELIGIOUS, CULTURAL AND IDEOLOGICAL DISCREPANCIES – WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY ANTAGONIZING THOSE RESIDENTS WHO WERE ALREADY OCCUPYING WHAT IS NOW TRANSFORMED INTO THE STATE OF ISRAEL! MOST MUSLIM’S DON’T LIKE JEWS! MOST JEWS DON’T LIKE MUSLIMS! ISRAEL IS A DEMOCRACY. AND THE MAJORITY OF COUNTRIES THAT SURROUND HER ARE PREDOMINANTLY RULED BY DICTATORSHIPS, ARISTOCRACIES, OR OLIGARCHIES!

WITH THE SPONSORSHIP AND AEGIS BY AMERICA AND SOME EXTRAORDINARY EFFORT BY ISRAELI ENGINEERS AS WELL AS A SKILLED LABOR FORCE; ISRAEL WENT FROM TENTS SITUATED IN SAND TO A THRIVING, SOPHISTICATED METROPOLIS; A MILITARY FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH; A SUCCESSFUL, SOCIALISTIC DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC! AND A COUNTRY WHOSE MILITARY PHILOSOPHY OR POLICY IS OVERSHADOWED BY THE GENOCIDE OF THE JEW BY GERMAN NAZI’S! A GENOCIDE THAT IS ASTONISHINGLY DENIED BY THE MAJORITY OF HER ARAB/MUSLIM NEIGHBORS; NEIGHBORS WHOSE BRAINWASHING OF THEIR VULNERABLE IMPRESSIONABLE CHILDREN – DEHUMANIZES THE JEWS AND WHILE REJECTING THE SIMPLE RECOGNITION OF ISRAEL’S RIGHT TO EXIST. AS SUCH EACH SIDE HAS VILIFIED AND DEHUMANIZED ONE ANOTHER. THE PALESTINIANS DEMAND THEIR VERY OWN HOMELAND. AND PALESTINIAN MILITANTS (HAMAS) PERIODICALLY ATTACK ISRAEL – AND VIOLENCE BEGETS VIOLENCE. I SUPPOSE THAT THIS RIVALRY – THIS HATRED WILL GO ON INTO PERPETUITY; THAT IS UNTIL ONE SIDE DEFEATS THE OTHER (INVARIABLY AT THE EXPENSE OF THE CHILDREN) OR — UNTIL THE WORLD STEPS IN USING A COALITION OF FORCES (SUCH AS C.O.U.N. – COALITION OF UNITED NATIONS) – ISSUING ONE SIMPLE CAVEAT OR PROVISO – CEASE ANY AND ALL HOSTILITIES – OR QUITE SIMPLY – FACE OBLITERATION! A CONCEPT I, SADLY EMBRACE – PROMULGATED OR DENOTED IN AN AMERICAN MOVIE – “THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL”). ENOUGH!

IT IS MY BELIEF THAT EVEN THE GOOD NATURED COMPASSIONATE ATHEIST OR AGNOSTIC (THE PHILANTHROPIST AND HUMANITARIAN!) WILL RECEIVE THE VERY SAME JUDGMENT BY GOD – AS WILL ETHICAL LAW ABIDING CHRISTIANS (INCLUDING ALL CHRISTIAN DENOMINATIONS) OR THOSE WHO ARE DEVOUT IN ANY RELIGION! EVEN TO INCLUDE THOSE RELIGIONS THAT HAVE NO NEED OF GOD!

WHAT I’M SAYING IS THAT GOD WILL LOOK AT OUR TRUE NATURES; HOW WE TREAT ONE ANOTHER; OTHER FORMS OF LIFE; HOW WE TREAT THE ENVIRONMENT; OUR NATURAL RESOURCES AND WHETHER OR NOT WE USE OUR PARTICULAR RELIGION TO ENGENDER PEACE AND RECONCILIATION OR AS A WEAPON USED TO JUSTIFY THE VILIFICATION, THE DEGRADATION AND DESTRUCTION OF THEOLOGICAL AND IDEOLOGICAL OPPONENTS (WHOSE THEOLOGICAL PATH IS DIFFERENT) YET WHOSE INEVITABLE DESTINATION – IS THE SAME!

MOVING ON…

I SUGGEST PAYING SINGLE (WELFARE) MOMS ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS PER MONTH IF THEY:

1) DON’T HAVE ANOTHER CHILD THAT SHE CAN’T PAY FOR!

2) IF THEY MAINTAIN A HEALTHY WEIGHT; EXERCISING AND EMBRACING A NUTRITIOUS DIET.

3) IF THEY DON’T SMOKE, DO ILLICIT DRUGS. IF THEY DRINK IN MODERATION OR IF THEY ESCHEW ALCOHOL COMPLETELY!

I ALSO SUGGEST APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS FOR DEADBEAT DADS – WORKING FOR THE DOMESTIC PEACE CORPS. BEING ENGAGED BY THE “NEO-GENTRIFICATION”4 PROCESS OF SLUMS AND BARRIOS!!!

OVER FIVE THOUSAND DEATHS IN IRAQ TAKING PLACE OVER A PERIOD OF SEVEN YEARS!

OVER FIFTY THOUSAND GANG MEMBERS AND INNOCENT CIVILIANS KILLED WITHIN THE SAME SEVEN YEAR PERIOD!

TEN’S OF THOUSANDS OF DEATHS ON THE ROADS! ALL OF WHICH IS DUE TO DUI’S, SPEEDING, YOUTH, THE INCAPACITATED ELDERLY, ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS AND A LACK OF STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF CARS, TRUCKS AND ESPECIALLY SCHOOL BUSES!

TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PATIENTS DIE IN HOSPITALS DUE TO A VARIETY OF CAUSES – MOST OF WHICH INVOLVES SOME SORT OF MALPRACTICE!

MILLIONS OF PEOPLE DIE EVERY YEAR DUE TO PREVENTABLE DISEASE! OBESITY, A LACK OF EXERCISE, POOR NUTRITION, DRINKING AND DRUGGING, EXPOSURE TO ASBESTOS, SECOND HAND SMOKE AND A DIVERSITY OF ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS! AND I MUST INCLUDE SEXUAL PROMISCUITY AND IN THE ABSENCE OF CONDOMS AND OTHER PROPHYLACTICS!

MILLIONS OF ABORTIONS ARE CARRIED-OUT BY “SO CALLED PHYSICIANS!” FOR THE MOST PART I VIEW IT AS INFANTICIDE! THANK GOD FOR RU486!

NOW THERE’S NO EXCUSE TO CARRYOUT A LATE TERM ABORTION! TO THE MANUFACTURER OF RU486 – PLEASE MAKE YOUR PRODUCT AFFORDABLE!

WHY ARE WE AS CONSUMERS FUNDING CHINA’S MILITARY BUILDUP – AS WELL AS THEIR TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES? WHY DON’T WE HAVE TRADE RULES OR CONDITIONS IN PLACE? OBVIOUSLY TO LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD IN OUR SO CALLED “TRADE RELATIONSHIP”?

ARE WE CERTAIN THAT (THEIR) COMPUTER HACKERS ARE ATTEMPTING TO BREACH COMPUTER FIRE WALLS IN TOP SECRET CORPORATE, MILITARY AND RESEARCH WEB SITES? IF SO, IT’S QUITE SIMPLY AN ACT OF WAR! AND WHY DOES THE MAJORITY OF THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY IGNORE THE INVASION AND ABUSE OF TIBET? (PROBABLY DUE TO THE FACT IS THAT A BOYCOTT OF THEIR INEXPENSIVE PRODUCTS WOULD HURT RETAIL ESTABLISHMENTS SUCH AS COSTCO, WAL-MART AND K-MART – YES, AS WELL AS NEEDY CONSUMERS.) AND ALTHOUGH I LOVE THE CHINESE PEOPLE AS WELL AS THEIR CULTURE, FOOD, ACUPUNCTURE AND THEIR FORM OF MEDICINE – THEIR LEADERSHIP IS MAKING THE UNITED STATES AND OUR CAPITALIST ECONOMY – LOOK FOOLISH AND INCAPACITATED! THE CHINESE COMMUNISTS ARE USING OUR CORPORATE GREED AND IN THEIR ABSENCE OF OBLIGATION OR PATRIOTISM TO OUR BLARING DISADVANTAGE! AND THE FACT IS THAT RATHER THAN IMPROVING THE LIVES OF IT’S PROLETARIAT OR POPULACE – CHINA IS FINANCING IT’S MILITARY!!!

(NO -WE DON’T NEED A WAR WITH THEM – BUT WE DO NEED TO HAVE AN ECONOMIC LEVEL PLAYING FIELD. WE NEED TO STOP ALLOWING “THEM” TO BULLY AND/OR EXPLOIT US.)

THE WAY I SEE IT – IT’S EITHER EDUCATION! EDUCATION! EDUCATION! AND JOBS! JOBS! JOBS! OR INCARCERATION! INCARCERATION! INCARCERATION!

SO IT’S AS SIMPLE AS MAKING A DELIBERATE CONSCIENTIOUS DECISION AS TO WHAT OR WHERE WE WANT TO DIRECT OUR LIMITED TAX REVENUES?

EDUCATED PEOPLE ARE BETTER CONSUMERS, TAX PAYERS AND FOR THE MOST PART, CITIZENS!

AMERICANS – EVEN PATRIOTS, SHOULDNÕT BE AFRAID OF THE TRUTH! IT’S HOW WE FIRST RECOGNIZE HOPEFULLY FOLLOWED BY A RESOLUTION! AND THE FACT IS THAT FREE SPEECH (EVEN FREE SPEECH THAT IS OVERTLY CRITICAL) LEADS TO SOLUTIONS!

AMERICA CAN’T LET THOSE WHO ARE WILLING TO SUBVERT OUR MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX! TO BE INCLUDED IN MY CAVEAT ARE OUR CORPORATE MANUFACTURING BASE. ALL MILITARY CONTRACTS SHOULD BE GIVEN TO OUR WEAPONS MANUFACTURERS. IT KEEPS OUR CITIZENS EMPLOYED. IN CASE OF WAR WE WILL HAVE THE EXPERTISE, PARTS AND RESOURCES ON HAND AS WELL AS OUR ABILITY TO INCREASE OR RESTART REPRODUCTION PROMPTLY AND IN THE ABSENCE OF DELAY OR RED TAPE! (THE OTHER OPTION – AS I SEE IT – IS TO PERMIT COMMUNIST CHINA OR VIETNAM ENGINEER, AND MANUFACTURE OUR MILITARY HARDWARE). (JUST THINK OF THE SAVINGS!)

“MADE IN AMERICA!”

WHAT WE NEED ARE BUSINESSES AND CORPORATIONS TO SUPPORT OR EMBRACE RETAIL ESTABLISHMENTS WHO SELL SOLELY AMERICAN MADE GOODS!!!

SO — WHAT QUALITIES DO YOU NEED TO BE PRESIDENT?

TO BEGIN WITH – RECOGNIZE AND ADMIT YOUR DEFICITS!

ADMIT THAT YOU NEED TO COMPENSATE THOSE DEFICITS USING EXPERTS, SCIENTISTS AND YES, EVEN POLITICIANS WHO HAVE THE EXPERIENCE!

WRITE YOUR OWN SPEECHES. READING SPEECHES WRITTEN BY A SPEECH WRITER, IS LIKE HAVING A SURROGATE WHO TAKES YOUR COLLEGE EXAMS! OR, LIKE GETTING CREDIT FOR SOMEONE ELSE’S IDEAS AT YOUR PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT!

THOSE WHO HAVE LIVED THROUGH A HIGHLY DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY LIFE, YET WHO HAVE THRIVED DESPITE THEIR DISADVANTAGES – CREATES EMPATHY FOR THE IMPOVERISHED, DRUG AND ALCOHOL ADDICTED.

THOSE WHO HAVE LIVED THROUGH A DIFFICULT CHILDHOOD, TEEN HOOD AND A HAMPERED AND BESIEGED LIFE; WHO HAVE HAD TO CONTEND WITH PERSONAL EMOTIONAL DIFFICULTIES – YET WHO GREW OR EVOLVED INTO A STABLE MATURE ADULT – IN MY VIEW ARE THE KIND OF INDIVIDUALS WHO CAN ASSIST THE LOWER AND MIDDLE CLASS – LIFTING THEM OUT OF POVERTY; HELPING THEM CLIMB AN EDUCATIONAL AND ECONOMIC LADDER; HELPING THE PROLETARIAT OR POPULACE TO LOCATE AND TO NURTURE THEIR TALENTS; TO HELP INVOKE HOPE, OPTIMISM AND MOTIVATION TO IMPROVE THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES AND LIFESTYLE!

ANY PRESIDENT MUST ABOVE ALL BE CREATIVE AND GIFTED IN PROBLEM SOLVING! HE OR SHE MUST BE OPEN TO IDEAS REGARDLESS OF THE SOURCE!

ANY CANDIDATE FOR THE PRESIDENCY MUST HAVE A VERIFIABLE AND IMPRESSIVE TRACK RECORD!

ANY CANDIDATE FOR THE PRESIDENCY MUST BE ABLE TO ADDRESS STUBBORN PROBLEMS BY UTILIZING IDEAS THAT MAY VERY WELL BE OFFENSIVE TO THOSE WITH A DELICATE PSYCHE!

ANY CANDIDATE FOR THE PRESIDENCY MUST UTILIZE THE WISDOM AS WELL AS THE STATE OF ERUDITION OF SCIENTISTS, ENGINEERS AND LEGISLATORS WHO ARE WILLING TO VOLUNTEER THEIR TIME. HE OR SHE MUST BE WILLING TO SHARE IDEAS WITH ALL MEMBERS OF EACH POLITICAL PARTY!

ALL CONFERENCES, CONVOCATIONS, COLLOQUIES SHOULD BE TELEVISED – TO BE FOLLOWED BY A VOTE FOR THE LEGISLATION – INCLUDING A VOTE BY PLEBISCITE. WE CAN ALSO HAVE MEMBERS OF THEIR CONSTITUENCY SEND QUESTIONS OR OR TO POSIT SOLUTIONS OVER THE INTERNET! OF COURSE EACH AND EVERY TELEVISED CONFERENCE WOULD BE CONSUMMATED BY EITHER A VETO OR THE RATIFICATION BY THE PRESIDENT!

AGAIN – MOVING ON…

BUILD NEW HUD HOUSING FIRST! THEN AND ONLY THEN SHOULD YOU DEMOLISH OBSOLETE HUD STRUCTURES! BETTER STILL – SEE WHETHER OR NOT THEY CAN BE SAVED AND RENOVATED; AUCTION THEM OFF OR SELL THEM OUTRIGHT TO INVESTORS! AND IF YOU SHOULD DECIDE TO DEMOLISH THEM BEFORE NEW HUD PROJECTS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED – THEN EXPECT A NEW POPULATION AMONG THE HOMELESS!

HUD HOUSING MUST BE CONSTRUCTED OF DURABLE CONCRETE BLOCK WITH REINFORCED MESH AND REBAR. THERE MUST BE SOUND BOARD AND PLEXIGLAS WINDOWS. I SUGGEST THAT YOU MAKE EACH HUD COMPLEX SQUARE OR RECTANGULAR IN SHAPE – PROVIDING ITÕS RESIDENTS WITH A LARGE CENTRAL (ENCLOSED) COURTYARD! WITH A PLAYGROUND FOR CHILDREN AND AN AREA FOR THE GROWTH OF ORNAMENTALS OR BETTER STILL FOR VEGETABLES! THE HUD HOUSING SHOULD INCLUDE A LAUNDRY ROOM, GROCERY STORE (TO INCLUDE FOOD DONATIONS) AN EXERCISE AND A WEIGHT ROOM. A COMMUNITY ROOM WITH A COMPUTER WITH ACCESS TO THE INTERNET! A COMMUNITY ROOM THAT ALSO SECONDS AS A NURSERY FOR WORKING PARENTS! A COMMUNITY ROOM THAT IS ALSO USED TO HOLD CLASSES TO INCLUDE COURSES NEEDED TO OBTAIN A G.E.D; TO TEACH BUDGETING AND NUTRITION; TO FOCUS UPON DRUG AND ALCOHOL REHAB! TO BE USED AS AN EMPLOYMENT SERVICE; AS WELL AS A PLACE WHERE THE HUD MANAGER CAN MEDIATE OR ARBITRATE PROBLEMS, CONFLICTS BETWEEN TENANTS!

THERE WILL BE ARMED SECURITY GUARDS WHO ARE ALSO TENANTS! AND THEY WILL BE PROVIDED WITH A DRUG SNIFFING DOG!

THOSE WHO PROVIDE MAINTENANCE WILL ALSO BE HUD RESIDENTS!

WITH A REDUCTION OF ALREADY LOW SUBSIDIZED RENT FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT SMOKE, WHO DRINK IN MODERATION; WHO ARE DRUG-FREE; WHO MAINTAIN A HEALTHY BODY WEIGHT; WHO EXERCISE ON A DAILY BASIS!

THERE WILL BE A POLICE SUBSTATION LITERALLY SITUATED ON THE HUD PROPERTY!

ALL OF WHICH WILL COMBINE TO CREATE A SAFE, HEALTHFUL AND PRODUCTIVE ENVIRONS!

NOW WHAT?

AS FAR AS THE WARS IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN ARE CONCERNED – WE CAN’T FORCE DEMOCRACY DOWN THEIR THROATS! IF THEYÕRE NOT ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT DEMOCRATIC RULE – AS WELL AS BACKING AND MAINTAINING A REPUBLIC – THEN THERE’S NOTHING WE CAN DO TO CONVINCE THEM! AMERICAN SOLDIERS ARE GIVING THEIR LIVES FOR AMERICA AND FOR THE IRAQI PEOPLE – AS I UNDERSTAND IT ALL WHILE SOME IRAQI TROOPS ARE DOING WHAT EVER THEY CAN TO AVOID CONFRONTING OR ENGAGING THE ENEMY!!!

THOSE IN AMERICA WHO RECEIVE A GOOD WAGE WILL ALSO BECOME GOOD CONSUMERS!!! THEY MAY PURCHASE A NEW CAR! THEY MAY HAVE ENOUGH MONEY FOR A DOWN PAYMENT FOR A HOUSE! THEY MAY PURCHASE LAND IN ORDER TO BUILD THEIR OWN HOUSE! ALL OF WHICH WILL STIMULATE THE ECONOMY!

HOWEVER – GIVING A TAX REFUND TO THE LOWER, MIDDLE AND UPPER CLASS CITIZENS WILL PRIMARILY BENEFIT THOSE WHO IMPORT PRODUCTS TO THE U.S.! THOSE WHO ARE LOWER CLASS – THOSE I HAVE LIVED AMONG (AS ONE OF THEM!) WILL DIRECT A TAX REFUND TOWARDS BEER, POT AND CIGARETTES, AS WELL AS GAS OR INSURANCE FOR THEIR CAR!

I SUGGEST THAT WE DESIGN A ÒMANHATTAN PROJECT!Ó THE GOAL OF WHICH IS TO CREATE MILLIONS OF WELL-PAYING LONG TERM JOBS – RENOVATING, REPLACING OR CONSTRUCTING NEW ESSENTIAL INFRASTRUCTURE! WE NEED TO INVEST TWO POINT FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS TO BE SPREAD-OUT OVER A PERIOD OF TEN YEARS!!!

ALL OF THIS IS OVERSHADOWED BY THE FACT THAT CAPITALISM CAN BE BOTH A BLESSING AND A CURSE WHEN IT’S PARASITIC AND NOT SYMBIOTIC IN NATURE; CAPITALISM MOTIVATED SIMPLY BY GREED AND IN THE ABSENCE OF PATRIOTISM AND RULES AND REGULATIONS CAN BE VERY DESTRUCTIVE TOWARDS THE OVERALL HEALTH AND WELL BEING OF A COUNTRY! AS SUCH, WE MUST ELIMINATE CORPORATE TAXES; THEREBY MAXIMIZING THEIR PROFITS – WITH THE AD HOC OBJECTIVE OF KEEPING THEM HERE IN AMERICA – EMPLOYING OUR CITIZENS!

“CONTENDING WITH GENOCIDAL DESPOTS”

WHEN CONFRONTED BY GENOCIDAL DESPOTS, WHEN DO WE DECIDE THAT AN INTERVENTION IS UNAVOIDABLE! WHOSE JOB IS IT TO INTERVENE? TO IRONICALLY KILL IN ORDER TO SAVE LIVES! THE UNITED NATIONS HAS NO TEETH! NO ONE PERCEIVES IT AS A MILITARY THREAT.

DOES NATO HAVE A MORAL OBLIGATION TO INTERVENE? HOW ABOUT THE EU? PERHAPS BOTH HAVE A MORAL, ETHICAL OBLIGATION TO PROTECT THE INNOCENT. WHICH SIDE DO THOSE WHO ARE INTERVENING DEFEND WHEN THEY FIND THEMSELVES IN THE MIDST OF A CIVIL WAR? WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE POPULATION AS A WHOLE BEGIN TO VIEW THOSE INVOLVED IN THE MILITARY INTERVENTION AS OCCUPIERS? BEFORE WE, AS AMERICANS, ENTER INTO A GENOCIDAL MORASS – WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN KILLING ONE ANOTHER EVEN AS THEIR CHILDREN STARVE TO DEATH – MAYBE WE (AS PEACE MAKERS) SHOULD LOOK INTO OUR VIOLENT, ADDICTED SLUMS AND BARRIOS. MAYBE WE HAVE THE OBLIGATION TO SAVE THE LIVES AND DIRECT THE FUTURES OF THE INNOCENT BYSTANDER; THE BELEAGUERED, DISADVANTAGED CHILDREN; THE HOMELESS AND DISENFRANCHISED; THE NEGLECTED AND IGNORED MENTALLY ILL! AND, YES, EVEN THE GANGS WHO OWN THE STREETS; MANY OF WHOM END UP DEAD OR INCARCERATED (WHAT A WASTE OF LIFE; OF POTENTIAL TALENTS AND ABILITIES!) JUST MAYBE WE CAN REACH THEM THROUGH GOD; ALL OF WHICH SHOULD BE OVERSHADOWED BY THE LEGALIZATION OF PROSTITUTION AND DRUGS! THE AVAILABILITY OF WELL PAYING LONG TERM JOBS; THE OPPORTUNITY OF AN EDUCATION; OR THE OPTION OF VOCATIONAL SCHOOL AND THE TRAINING IN A SKILLED PROFESSION!

IF RESEARCH FACILITIES MERGED TO COMBAT DISEASES – IF ENGINEERS WHO ARE DESIGNING NEXT GENERATION MILITARY HARDWARE –EXACTLY WHAT COULD WE ACCOMPLISH? HOW MUCH FASTER WOULD YOU ACHIEVE YOUR INTENDED GOALS -WHETHER IT’S NEW ANTIBIOTICS, ANTI-VIRALS OR NEXT GENERATION TANKS, JETS AND SHIPS…

WE NEED TO COMBINE OUR INTELLECTUAL AND MONETARY RESOURCES IN ORDER TO CREATE NEW SOURCES OF ENERGY SUCH AS NUCLEAR FUSION AND ANTIMATTER! WE NEED TO DEVELOP A SPACE SHUTTLE THAT HAS THE LANDING CAPACITY OF A HARRIER JUMP JET ; AS WELL AS THE LANDING CAPACITY OF AN F-16! WITH FAR MORE EFFICIENT FUEL; MATERIALS THAT CAN BETTER WITHSTAND TEMPERATURE EXTREMES AS WELL AS BEING HIGHLY RESISTANT TO DAMAGE! BUT FIRST WE HAVE TO IMPLEMENT THE “MANHATTAN PROJECT” – CREATING MILLIONS OF WELL PAYING LONG TERM JOBS – THEREBY INCREASING OUR TAX BASE! SUCH A TECHNOLOGY WOULD READILY BE USED TO MANUFACTURE OUR NEXT GENERATION MILITARY HARDWARE; IN PARTICULAR, NEW HIGH-TECH JETS!

IF THE IRAQI TROOPS, POLICE AND POPULACE TRULY WANT TO EMBRACE DEMOCRATIC IDEALS; THE LEADERSHIP FOUND IN A REPUBLIC – THEN THEY’LL DEFEND THEIR NEW WAY OF LIFE (DESPITE THE VIOLENCE AND HEART SHIPS! ) WITH AN UNBRIDLED FANATICISM.

JUST BECAUSE YOU HATE THE LEADERSHIP IN CERTAIN ICONOCLASTIC NON-DEMOCRATIC COUNTRIES; WHY PUNISH THE POPULACE WHO ARE ALL TOO OFTEN VICTIMS OF DESPOTIC RULE; AN ABSENCE OF FREE SPEECH AND FREEDOM OF RELIGION, ALL WHILE LIVING IN OR WITH AN ENVIRONMENT OF DEPRIVATION AND ABJECT POVERTY!

IF WE WANT TO AVOID INSOLVENCY IN THE FUTURE – WE HAVE TO EMBRACE THE PROPHYLACTIC APPROACH – TURNING OUR KIDS AS WELL AS OUR RETIREES – INTO HEALTH NUTS!

WHAT ARE THE RAMIFICATIONS…

WHAT ARE THE POLITICAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL, ECONOMIC AND CRIMINOLOGICAL DISPARITIES IN COMMUNISM, SOCIALISM AND CAPITALISM???

HOW MANY CIVILIANS ARE INCARCERATED?

HOW MANY AMONG THEIR POPULATION ARE LIVING ON THE STREETS?

HOW MANY OF THEIR MENTALLY ILL ARE LIVING ON THE STREETS OR ARE INCARCERATED?

WHAT IS THE RATE OF POVERTY? OF ILLITERACY? OF HIGH SCHOOL DROPOUTS?

WHAT PERCENTAGE OF YOUR POPULATION ABUSES ALCOHOL? DRUGS? TOBACCO?

WHAT PERCENTAGE OF YOUR CITIZENS ARE OBESE?

DO YOU PROVIDE UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE FOR YOUR PEOPLE? DO THEY ENJOY THE LUXURY OF FREE EDUCATION?

HOW MANY OF YOUR PEOPLE ARE RELIGIOUS?

ARE YOUR PEOPLE HAPPY???

ARE YOUR PEOPLE PRODUCTIVE?

ARE YOUR PEOPLE EVOLVING EMOTIONALLY? INTELLECTUALLY? ECONOMICALLY?

PART OF THE PROBLEM OF OUR POLITICAL SYSTEM IS THAT POLITICIANS WON’T CHANGE THEIR MINDS! REGARDLESS OF HOW LOGICAL AND CONVINCING A POLITICAL OPPONENTS ARGUMENT IS! THAT ENTRENCHED INTELLECTUAL RIGIDITY IS AN OUTCOME OF IMMATURITY, OF ARROGANCE, OF POLITICAL AND IDEOLOGICAL SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS!!! (HOW TRULY SAD).

EDUCATION…

I SUGGEST THAT IN ALL HIGH SCHOOLS – THAT STUDENTS SHOULD MIMIC THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM! ATTEMPT TO REPLICATE AN AUTHENTIC CASE! STUDENTS SHOULD BE ASSIGNED POSITIONS OR ROLES; DEFENSE ATTORNEYS, PROSECUTORS, JUDGES AND JURORS! THEY SHOULD ALSO ATTEMPT TO UNDERTAKE A CASE IN THE ABSENCE OF AN ADVERSARIAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ATTORNEYS! WITH THE GOAL OF INTERPRETING OR ASSESSING EVIDENCE. ANALYZING FACTS IN THE PRESENCE OF PREJUDICE! WHAT PROBLEMS WILL RESULT SHOULD ATTORNEYS BECOME NEUTRAL – PRESENTING BOTH PROSECUTORY AS WELL AS DEFENSIVE EVIDENCE OR FACTS!

STUDENT (GRADES TEN THROUGH TWELVE) SHOULD ALSO MIMIC THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS! INCLUDING DEBATE, DISCUSSION AND COLLOQUY EVENTUALLY LEADING UP TO CLOTURE! THEY SHOULD ATTEMPT TO SIMULATE THE THE CONSTRUCTION OF A BILL! PUSHING IT ON THROUGH THE HOUSE AND SENATE – EVENTUALLY ARRIVING ON THE PRESIDENTS DESK – FOR EITHER RATIFICATION OR VETO!

“WHY HAS THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY LOST RESPECT FOR AMERICA?”

YOU’LL HAVE TO FORGIVE ME – BUT I INTEND TO TELL THE (MY) TRUTH! IDENTIFYING PROBLEMS (ADMITTING TO THEM) USUALLY LEADS TO SOLUTIONS! AND ALTHOUGH I’M A PATRIOT AND I SINCERELY LOVE MY COUNTRY – I INTEND TO BE AS HONEST AS IS HUMANLY POSSIBLE! FORGIVE ME!

THE FACT IS THAT CAPITALISM – MOTIVATED BY GREED AND IN THE ABSENCE OF OBLIGATION OR PATRIOTISM, IS DESTROYING AMERICA!!! WEÕRE LOSING OUR MANUFACTURING BASE WHICH HAS CALLOUSLY MOVED “SOUTH” OR “OVERSEAS” WHILE IN PURSUIT OF VERY CHEAP LABOR; LAX ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS AND THE ACQUISITION OF HUGE MINIMALLY TAXED PROFITS!

WE ARE CONFRONTED WITH AN ECONOMIC RECESSION THAT IS LEADING TO AS MANY AS TWO MILLION HOMEOWNERS WHO WILL BE FACING FORECLOSURE!!! AS WELL AS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS WHO WILL ALSO HAVE TO CONTEND WITH THE REPOSSESSION OF THEIR CAR OR TRUCK!

ONE MILLION TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND CHILDREN DROP OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL EVERY YEAR! THEY JOIN GANGS! THEY BECOME HOMELESS – SURVIVING A DRUG AND ALCOHOL ADDICTION AND THE NEED FOR FOOD AND MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS – BY PROSTITUTING THEMSELVES; SELLING DRUGS AND ALL TOO OFTEN EVENTUALLY ENDING UP IN PRISON! (WE CANÕT PERMIT SUCH AN ENORMOUS WASTE OF LIFE!)

AND THAT’S ONE OF THE PRIMARY REASONS WE MUST KEEP OUR CHILDREN IN SCHOOL! AS I’VE ALREADY SUGGESTED – THEY WOULD HAVE TO ATTEND SCHOOL FOR TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY DAYS PER YEAR FOR SEVEN HOURS PER DAY! THEY HAVE TO LEARN KARATE TO KEEP IN SHAPE AND TO BUILD SELF-ESTEEM! THE EVENTUAL GOAL FOLLOWING A TWELFTH YEAR GRADUATION WOULD BE AN ASSOCIATES OR BACHELORS DEGREE AS WELL AS (AT LEAST) A THIRD DEGREE BLACK BELT!!!

WE’RE MAINTAINING OUR STATUS AS THE SOLE REMAINING SUPER POWER – AT THE EXPENSE OF SOCIAL SYSTEMS, EDUCATION AND THE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF AGING INFRASTRUCTURE!!!

WE UNFORTUNATELY NEED TO BORROW THE MONEY OR TO TAX THE RICH IN ORDER TO FUND THE “MANHATTAN PROJECT” -THAT WILL EMPLOY MILLIONS OF PEOPLE OVER A TEN YEAR PERIOD! JOBS THAT WILL EXPAND OUR TAX BASE AND THAT WILL MAKE OUR ECONOMY THRIVE!!!

AMONG THE INDUSTRIALIZED COUNTRIES – AMERICA HAS CONSIDERABLY MORE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN PRISON!

AMERICA HAS MORE DEBT PER CAPITA THAN ANY OTHER COUNTRY! WHICH COINCIDES WITH A RECORD NUMBER OF BANKRUPTCIES!!!

WE’RE THE RICHEST NATION ON THE PLANET, YET WE HAVE TEN’S OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE IN POVERTY!

SEVERAL HUNDRED THOUSAND OF IT’S PEOPLE ARE HOMELESS! THEY ARE MADE UP OF DRUG AND ALCOHOL ADDICTS. THE MENTALLY ILL. PSYCHOLOGICALLY DAMAGED VETERANS. THOSE WHO ARE TOO IMMATURE OR WHO ARE FAR TOO DYSFUNCTIONAL TO HOLD A JOB!

WHY HAS THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY LOST RESPECT FOR US???

WE ARE GRADUALLY LOSING OUR MANUFACTURING BASE FOR CORPORATIONS WHO ARE NOT PATRIOTIC AND WHO ARE IN PURSUIT OF GREATER PROFITS OVERSEAS OR “SOUTH”.

AS A RESULT OF OUR LOSS OF OUR MANUFACTURING BASE WE’RE TURNING INTO RETAILERS – IRONICALLY PURCHASING AND SELLING THE VERY PRODUCTS WE ONCE MANUFACTURED HERE IN AMERICA!!! THE RESULT OF WHICH IS THE DISSOLUTION OF THE MIDDLE CLASS, AN INCREASE IN THE FORECLOSURE RATE OF HOMES AND THE REPOSSESSIONS OF CARS AND TRUCKS – AS WELL AS THE LOSS OF OUR TAX BASE!

PRESENT AND PAST PRESIDENTS, MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE AND SENATE HAVE CONVENIENTLY OVERLOOKED THE CIVIL WAR TAKING PLACE IN OUR SLUMS AND BARRIOS!!! ITS TIME TO SAVE LIVES! IT’S TIME TO INCREASE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR MILLIONS OF PEOPLE AS WELL AS “INHIBITING” THE MASS PRODUCTION OF PSYCHOPATHS! AS IÕVE STATED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE – WE NEED TO KEEP OUR CHILDREN IN SCHOOL FOR AT LEAST TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY DAYS PER YEAR FOR SEVEN HOURS PER DAY; HAVING THEM GRADUATE WITH AN ASSOCIATES OR A BACHELORS DEGREE!

WE’RE A SOPHISTICATED COUNTRY THAT HAS MODERN WELL EQUIPPED HOSPITALS AS WELL AS EDUCATED STAFF AND MODERN MEDICATIONS! BUT WE LOSE TEN’S OF THOUSANDS OF PATIENTS DUE TO PREVENTABLE INFECTIONS, ALLERGIC REACTIONS TO ANESTHESIA OR MEDICATIONS, INFECTIONS OR SIMPLY MALPRACTICE!!!!

HERE IN AMERICA WE HAVE MILLIONS OF MILLIONAIRES, MULTIMILLIONAIRES AND DOZENS OF BILLIONAIRES – BUT WE HAVE FEW WHO WANT TO PAY THEIR SHARE OF TAXES! AS WELL AS THEIR SHARE AND THAT OF THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS SHARE OF OUR DEBILITATING NATIONAL DEBT! SHAME ON YOU! WHERE IS YOUR PATRIOTISM FOR THE VERY COUNTRY WHOSE CAPITALISTIC SYSTEM AIDED YOU IN THE PROCESS OF CREATING YOUR EXORBITANT WEALTH!!!

RELIGIOSITY…

MY SUCCINCT NEO-THEOLOGY: EMBRACE YOUR CURRENT RELIGION WITH A PASSION! BUT RESPECT ALL OTHER RELIGIONS DESPITE YOUR SUBSTANTIAL THEOLOGICAL DIFFERENCES! LET GOD BE THE ULTIMATE JUDGE! WHEN YOU’RE AT WAR WITH YOUR NEIGHBOR – AND YOU HAVE THROUGHOUT THE DECADES RESPONDED TO VIOLENT ATTACKS WITH VIOLENT ATTACKS! IT’S TIME TO RESPOND TO VIOLENCE WITH FRIENDSHIP! AND I KNOW THAT THAT SOUNDS NUTS!

IN THE CASE OF ISRAEL – RESTRAINT MUST BE EXERCISED! ISRAEL MUST RESPOND TO ATTACKS BY HELPING THE PALESTINIANS GET THEIR OWN HOMELAND! ISRAEL MUST MAKE PEACE THROUGH CONCESSIONS AND WITH THE GOAL OF RECONCILIATION! ISRAEL MUST DO THE UNTHINKABLE – BY ASSISTING THE PALESTINIANS INSTALL ESSENTIAL INFRASTRUCTURE – INCLUDING HOSPITALS, SCHOOLS AND HOUSES OF WORSHIP!!! (FUNDED BY THE GENEROSITY OF THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY.)

IF THE ATTACKS CONTINUE – AND THERE’S EVEN LOSS OF LIFE – YOU MUST LEAVE THE RETRIBUTION IN THE HANDS OF GOD! HE ALONE WILL JUDGE THE AGGRESSORS! HE ALONE WILL CARRYOUT AN EQUITABLE PUNISHMENT! DECADES OF TIT FOR TAT HASN’T WORKED! AND IF WE CAN POSIT THAT GOD WANTS US TO TURN THE OTHER CHEEK! TO LOVE OUR NEIGHBOR! WE CAN ALSO PRESUME THAT IF GOD WAS TO CONFRONTED WITH AGGRESSION – THAT HE WOULD RESPOND BY REACHING OUT! SO IF YOU TRULY WANT PEACE AND THE EVENTUAL PARTICIPATION BY NATO (OR C.O.U.N) FORCES; IF YOU TRULY WANT YOUR CHILDREN TO BE REARED AS PEACEMAKERS AND NOT EXPENDABLE WARRIORS – THEN IT’S TIME TO ATTEMPT A SOLUTION THAT IS UNTHINKABLE! A RESPONSE TO UNPROVOKED VIOLENCE THAT BOTH JESUS AND MOHAMMED, MARTIN LUTHER KING, GANDHI AND MOTHER TERESA AS WELL AS THE POPE WOULD EACH EQUIVOCALLY VIE FOR – THAT IS THE PRESENTATION OF AN OLIVE BRANCH! FOR REACHING OUT WITH DIALOGUE AND WITH FRIENDSHIP!

THE GOAL – WHILE USING AMAZING RESTRAINT – WOULD BE TO GAIN EMPATHY AMONG THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY! HOPEFULLY TO BE FOLLOWED BY A CONTINGENT OF NATO TROOPS TO BE STATIONED INSIDE OF ISRAEL’S BORDER!!! BRINGING ABOUT PEACE AND THE CONCERN OF THE WORLD WILL

TAKE DISCIPLINE, MATURITY AND NO DOUBT THE BLESSINGS OF GOD!!!

LEGAL IMMIGRANTS ENTERING THE UNITED STATES MUST INCLUDE, DOCTORS, NURSE PRACTITIONERS, NURSES, MILITARY MEDICS AS WELL AS QUALIFIED TEACHERS!!! ALL OF WHOM MUST BE WILLING TO WORK IN SLUMS AND BARRIOS FOR A PERIOD OF NO LESS THAN SIX YEARS – PRACTICING MEDICINE IN WELL-EQUIPPED CLINICS!

WE NEED LOW INTEREST BUSINESS ZONES, LOW INTEREST BUSINESS LOANS! SIX MONTHS FREE RENT! FEDERAL GRANTS AND AND THE FREE SUPPORT AND EXPERTISE OF QUALIFIED BUSINESS MEN AND WOMEN – TO FINE TUNE THEIR BUSINESS APPROACH!

THE COST TO DEMOLISH SEVERELY DILAPIDATED HOMES SHOULD BE PASSED ON TO THE BANK THAT OWNS IT!

ALL OF OUR TRADE PARTNERS MUST ABIDE BY WELL DETAILED GROUND RULES! A REASONABLE HOURLY RATE OR SALARY! HEALTH CARE AND BOTH INDOOR AND OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENTS THAT ARE CLEAN AND POLLUTION-FREE! TRADE WITH ANY NATION SHOULD BE BOTH EQUITABLE AND SYMBIOTIC! ANY TRADE RELATIONSHIPS THAT ARE CARRIED OUT IN THE ABSENCE OF RULES – THAT ARE BLARINGLY PARASITIC IN NATURE – SHOULD BE RECTIFIED IN ORDER TO LEVEL THE ECONOMIC, TRADE PLAYING FIELD! CHINA SHOULD STOP ATTEMPTING TO BREACH TOP SECRET WEB SITES HERE IN AMERICA!

WE NEED TO BUILD STURDY EFFECTIVE DIKES MADE OF CONCRETE AND ROCK! WE NEED TO MAKE HOMES THAT ARE HIGHLY RESISTANT TO THE WRATH OF MOTHER NATURE – OUT OF CONCRETE, REBAR AND MESH, WITH AIR/WATER TIGHT DOORS, A NOTICEABLE AND DELIBERATE ABSENCE OF PARTITIONS EXCLUDING THE BATHROOM. SOLAR PANELS WILL OBVIOUSLY BE SITUATED ON THE ROOF, WITH A THICK PLEXIGLAS WINDOW AT THE APEX!

PRESIDENTS LACKING EXPERIENCE MUST SURROUND HIM OR HERSELF WITH UNBIASED GENERALS, SCIENTIST, OPEN-MINDED LEGISLATORS, POLITICIANS WHO REPRESENT THE DIVERSITY OF ETHNIC GROUPS, POLITICAL AND IDEOLOGICAL VIEW POINTS – AS WELL AS PROBLEM SOLVERS TAKEN RIGHT OUT OF OUR POPULOUS, OF OUR UNIVERSITIES!!! LET THOSE AS A GROUP HELP THE PRESIDENT, VICE PRESIDENT AND LEGISLATORS – ASSESS FACTS, MODIFY AND INTERPRET LEGISLATION THAT WILL HOPEFULLY LEAD TO SOLUTIONS. SOLUTIONS, OPTIONS THAT SHOULD BE VOTED UPON BY THOSE CONSTITUENTS WHO HAVE LISTENED TO AND OBSERVED THE PROCEEDINGS – TO BE FOLLOWED BY A VOTE THROUGH PLEBISCITE! (LET THE ATTORNEYS RETRIEVE COFFEE AND DOUGHNUTS.)

THE PROPHYLACTIC APPROACH

WE ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO MIMIC THE LIFESTYLE OF JACK LALANNE!

WE NEED TO EAT PROPERLY! TO EXERCISE! TO ESCHEW TOBACCO, ALCOHOL AND DRUGS! ALL OF WHICH WILL LEAD TO LONGEVITY AS WELL AS A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN THE QUALITY OF LIFE! THE EXORBITANT COST OF FOSTER CARE FACILITIES THAT TEND TO THE EXTENSIVE NEEDS OF THE INFIRMED ELDERLY, WOULD SAVE THE FEDERAL AND STATE GOVERNMENTS HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS!

WE NEED A MANHATTAN PROJECT TO:

GET CHILDREN WHO HAVE DROPPED OUT OF SCHOOLS – WHO ARE ADDICTED TO DRUGS AND ALCOHOL AND WHO ARE SUPPORTING THEMSELVES, THEIR ADDICTIONS THROUGH PROSTITUTION, DRUG SALES OR THEFT – BACK INTO SCHOOL! WE SHOULD SPARE NO EXPENSE USING SPECIALLY DESIGNED SCHOOLS, TAILOR MADE CURRICULUM, CHEAP BUT COMFORTABLE HOUSING, GOOD NUTRITIOUS FOOD, AND IF NECESSARY – EVEN A STIPEND!!! WE WILL SAVE MONEY IN THE LONG RUN EVEN AS WE SAVE LIVES!!!

WE NEED A MANHATTAN PROJECT;

CREATING WELL PAYING LONG TERM JOBS – REPAIRING REPLACING OR ADDING INFRASTRUCTURE! WE NEED JOBS TO EMPLOY FELONS, THE IMPOVERISHED WHO NEED AN OPPORTUNITY AND IN PARTICULAR, TO EMPLOY DISCHARGED VETERANS!!!

FINALLY I SUGGEST THAT A TEAM OF SCIENTISTS AND INTELLECTUALS – REPRESENTING A DIVERSITY OF FIELDS – COMBINE THEIR CREATIVITY AND KNOWLEDGE IN ORDER TO WRITE A MANIFESTO – WITH THE AMBITIOUS GOAL (HAVING CHOSEN A PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT) MOTIVATED BY THE OBJECTIVE TO SHAPE AND COMPLETELY RENOVATE OUR GREAT BUT BELEAGUERED COUNTRY; TO ADDRESS OUR THIRTEEN TRILLION DOLLAR DEBT; TO FEED, HOUSE AND EMPLOY THE POPULACE; TO REDUCE CRIME; TO CREATE AN ATMOSPHERE OF TOLERANCE AND POLITICAL AND SOCIAL COHESION; TO VIE FOR PEACE AND RECONCILIATION; TO REHABILITATE OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM; OUR TRADE IMBALANCE; TO CONTEND WITH THE INUNDATION OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS; TO REDUCE POVERTY; TO CONQUER DISEASE; TO EMPOWER AND ELEVATE THE PEOPLE!

ONE SIMPLE TRUTH; IF YOU DONT LIKE MY IDEAS – SIMPLY REJECT THEM!!! IM NO EXPERT! SCIENTISTS, ENGINEERS AND ECONOMISTS MUST ASSESS MY IDEAS WITHOUT BIAS AND WITH AN OPEN MIND! UNDERSTANDING THE FACT THAT MY SOLE DESIRE IS TO SAVE LIVES. TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR TEN’S OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE – INCLUDING THOSE WHO ARE INCARCERATED IN PRISONS. THOSE WHO HAVE MEMBERSHIPS IN GANGS, THE FUNCTIONING AND MOTIVATED HOMELESS AND ESPECIALLY, DISCHARGED VETERANS IN NEED OF A WELL PAYING, LONG TERM JOB! AND I SUGGEST THAT YOU KEEP IN MIND THAT AMERICA’S GREATNESS RESTS IN PART WITH IT’S ABILITY TO BACK AND TO AT LEAST CONSIDER FREE SPEECH THAT CAN BE CONSTRUED AS OFFENSIVE, UNPATRIOTIC OR SUBVERSIVE. AND ALTHOUGH I IDENTIFY MYSELF AS AN ICONOCLAST AND HAVE HAD A DIFFICULT AND CHALLENGING EXPERIENCE AS AN AMERICAN – I LOVE MY COUNTRY WITH A FANATICISM – DESPITE IT’S FLAWS AND SHORTCOMINGS!!!
