I'm Tired Of The Double Talk

I’m tired of the Double Talk . . .

We have a problem in this country. We don’t know how to tell the truth and we can’t disseminate between it and a lie. And then we justify it all by saying what are you going to do?

I’m mad as hell . . .

When Imus was caned, the good Senator, Obama came out against him . . . I was shocked that a candidate would grasp on to such a dividing issue, for whatever reason. And I wrote a comment to “Obama for America”, today I got a response . . . No-reply.

I am a no body American, I understand that. But don’t you think the candidate should justify his words . . .

Here’s what I wrote;

Comments:
I have a problem with Mr. Obama . . . It’s simple, because of his comments about IMUS, I’m not sure he can be above black and white . . . I was shocked that he said anything . . . This country is not all black, white or other, it just is. A president has to be above that . . . He was wrong.

We all belong to groups, but which takes precedence over another? I don’t want to be known for my skin color. I would rather be a person, father, writer, husband, son . . . We all make mistakes. The classy thing for the coach of Rutgers to have done is to say enough . . . And take make it private. And all those so called Democrat Politicians, no loyalty there.

We need to forgive to mend our wounds and we made a big mistake with Bust, we can not afford another divider.

. . . Why does any one want to be President? I have a feeling that answering this question, might give new incite on why our best people never run for this office . . . Name one president and I can find controversy in his life before being president. Why? I don’t mean personal, business scandals, wrong doings, hiding things, overlooking atrocities just to rise in rank.

We live in a time where both parties are the exact same . . . Sure they distance themselves from the other, but at the end of the day they both drink at the same watering hole.

Because Parents Need To Know - Part 5

Because Parents Need To Know - Part 5





. . . . Haven't Read Other Parts?





Part 5 . . . The waiting and Chemo Weekends



Today we took my son for his scans, his second this year. We haven’t got the results yet. Computers were down, what’s a little more parental hell after what we’ve been through, but I’m getting ahead of myself . . .



Where’d I Leave Off? Oh yea . . .



My son was to do his Chemo treatments through Children’s hospital in Milwaukee and everything else was done at Froedtert. We met Dr. Kelly, my son’s Oncologist. That’s when we started those wonderful Chemo Weekends, come in on Friday, get the toxic crap pumped in three separate days worth, eat blandest tasting food and go home feeling like sh*t.



Five times we sat with my son in the hospital, five times we sat through that sh*t. He only really got nauseated once. It used to be hell, each time they gave you the toxic garbage, the patient lost his lunch. Anyway once his white blood count went through the roof . . . You see, the chemo kills blood cells. White blood cells are what fights off disease and they don’t want to let them leave the hospital until they have them replenished. So they gave him a new drug called Neulasta. It speeds up the process of building white blood cells.



All night my son complained that his joints ached, his bones ached and he was tired, couldn’t sleep, couldn’t eat. The next day at his radiation treatment and he told Dr. Ferrot that he felt bad. The doctor made his nurse draw blood and run tests. The doctor wouldn’t even let the lab do the work, he made his nurse do them . . . My son had a count of 40000, ten times the normal level. White blood cells are made in the bone and they were doing a little speed building at the moment.



Anyway the pain went away and everything went back to normal.

Globalization or Stupidity?

Globalization or Stupidity?

Reprint: All we hear anymore is the world is a market place and we need to learn to compete globally, but let me ask you why are our imports so far out of whack with our exports?

It’s simple . . . The marketplace that gives them the best return is in the U.S. Why? Because today we are still the wealthiest country in the world with the largest number of dollars earmarked on non essentials. Now does it make any sense that the jobs are going elsewhere? Maybe but the theory is short term and no one is looking long term.

If all the high paying jobs go away, what will we buy those non essentials with? Or better yet who will buy their product? If American Companies outsource there labor for cheaper dollars where will they sell their products? Will they sell them in those countries where the get the cheap labor? Hardly their income isn’t enough.

We have become a Capitalist Country run by business and business doesn’t have the sense to come out of the rain, unless they can make a profit by doing so . . . Once they didn’t see the paper companies didn’t think replanting trees were in their best interests . . . Sure if you don’t think you’re going to be in the same business thirty years later maybe its not or maybe your thoughts are just too narrow? You figure.

. . . A year later has anything changed?

The price of gas is at all time highs, why, green house emissions? Running out? Or what if our powers have decided that it’s not in our best interests anymore to be reliant on oil from everyone else?

And that’s the only thing that makes any sense. But if that was the case, don’t you think we would be building up manufacturing in this country? Still we are dependent on cheaper wages trying to compete with those who don’t make nothing from the products they build. We forget that China is a Communist Country and they don’t play by the same rules as a country based on Capitalism. And still we have no fence; no one has been fined for hiring illegals. None have been sent back and drug trafficking in up.

Toyota was the leader in cars sales for a quarter in the U.S . . . Americans are buying foreign vehicles and the dollars are going somewhere other than to U.S. car manufacturers. Many media outlets state the usual, serves them right for still building those big cars. That’s what we said in the seventies when there wasn’t enough gas. And then we wanted those big pigs once again and everyone was driving suburban, vans and SUV’s. And the middle east wants more for a barrel of oil and the gas companies want bigger profits and the consumer is squeezed at the pumps. And your government is just giving it lip service.

And everything seems to be failing apart. Another presidential policy gone astray, it happened in 1968 and it’s happening again.
