History, Assassians, Wars and America


      History in America has many unusual things in it if you read it carefully. My interest has always been in the assassinations of Presidents and Political Figures. Why were they killed and we already believe we know by who.

       Motives are the question that should be asked  in American History the assassins seem to have no  concrete motives to kill the President or Political figures they did kill. Ever wonder why Booth killed Lincoln or Oswald killed Kennedy, or  Sirhan Sirhan killed Bobby Kennedy, or Ray shot Martin Luther King Jr.? Or why in Ancient History the romans killed Caesar or Cleopatra died a sudden death? Politics is why, and the voices that are raised in opposition or to make change get killed off by the established is why. Jesus was killed to stop his preaching of rules and laws and commandments no one understood. Each of these leaders got killed in their prime when their voices were clear, loud and attracting attention and distracting from a major opponents words and thoughts.

        Independent thinkers are killed off when their ideas and thoughts and words do not go with the majorities  wishes or interfere with the majorities ways. History shows that once a majority is flowing in one direction and one person tries to change that direction they get removed. Whether it is in anger, revenge, or for a political purpose it happens. Sadly, it doesn’t need to if people just communicate freely and above-board. Peaceful solutions are the best and longest lasting ones. We need more of them, not more violence and killing.

      Talking about killings and political problems, Afghanistan comes to mind every time. Someone please explain why America of all the countries in the world has to clean up their country and get our soldiers, sailors and Marines killed! It’s a senseless battle for position by sects that aren’t smart enough to run their own sect never mind a country. It’s an endless battle we fight to help a country that hates us being there, and would rather see us gone for what reason?

       Killing goes back to the olden days of yore so to say and no matter what the evil ones and the good ones die. Because in the end the good sacrifice themselves to stop the bad and we end up losing peaceful great leaders. Why?

        Sacrifice has been around forever in mankind’s world, and it is not worth it unless the principles and thoughts and ideas put forward are worth saving for all. Would we sacrifice ourselves for our children yes, for our country yes. for love yes, but why must we fight wars for someone else who doesn’t even give two damns about us as a country and people? 

       The killing of American military personnel in lands like Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Yemen or Africa is sad and worthless in the process of humanity. One nation can not keep sacrificing for other nations that care not if we do or don’t. I say to President Obama, Congress and Politicians all over America, bring our troops home, bring our weapons home and tools of war too. Spend the same time and money and effort you all spend protecting and defending and fixing and policing other nations, on fixing our economy, our job markets, the trade agreements that are killing us and Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare,Health Care.the Postal Service, and what helps America. We are not the police force for the world anymore, we have our own troubles here at home, it is time America fixes itself and lets other nations do the same for themselves too.

Lets Fix America !


The political race is on for four years in the White House, the battle is now engaged by both sides and about to step up and hit with force, in the American People’s faces. While President Obama and Romney will be going head to head, please stop and look at both of their views on certain issues: 1) Wars in Afghanistan and elsewhere, they need to be stopped and what is ours in forces and weapons need to come home. 2) Watch for who will save Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and Veterans Benefits, these programs are the ones keeping many helpless, homeless and needy people alive and giving them a chance to. 3) Health Care– who has the better plan 4)  immigration Who will toughen the laws, but allow those here to stay in someway 5) Jobs, Who can really create jobs and bring back manufacturing and make our economy go forward 6) Who will change the Trade Agreements to a point where they favor America’s needs and our exports once more out shine and out measure our imports once more on the world market. 7) Who will step in and save the Postal Service that is needed by many millions across the USA to deliver our medications and things we depend on daily to survive. 8 ) Who has the better leadership skills period and will stand up for all Americans not just the rich or poor but all. 9) Who can reformat, reinvent the tax codes in the US to fit the current population and make it work, without raising them on the poor and middle class. We have no more to give Uncle Sam is bleeding out the poor and middle class to save the rich, wrong! 10) We saved big business and Wall Street and companies, now collect back what we loaned them as a country and lets use it for good works not bad.

       We also need to elect a congress that will support which ever man we elect as President. You can’t give the throne to one man and then put his opposition into check and balance him and expect him to be able to accomplish much, it’s like blockading a country, you can’t work around it well.

       As a country we screwed up by electing a Democrat as President and a congress full of Republicans to checkmate him. What we got was a blockade that stopped anything real from being accomplished and it is the American people’s fault now. Lets clean it up and make whoever is in the White House have a supporting cast to accomplish what needs to be done.

 

The Avengers A Comic Fans Movie!


     Movies, movies, movies! I am not rich nor do I get a chance to go to a movie often, yet, after waiting for a long time, a movie I waited on finally came out, The Avengers by Marvel and Disney Studios.

       As a child and boy I grew up buying comic books about these characters and teams, such as the Avengers, The Fantastic Four, The X-Men, and then the DC comics side too, such as Green Lantern, Batman, Superman, and yes even Wonder Woman. It was the art work that drew me in and then the stories as they got better over time. Even Spiderman was fun and different in a world full of pain and no pleasure they brought hope to mine.

        I am glad that Stan Lee who created these superheroes, allowed people to finally make movies out of them, and create a world of fantasy, fighting and joining and getting along on-screen. He stuck to his guts and told the Studios and Producers to do the characters his way as they were in his books and wham the hits began hitting the big screens. Spiderman, The Hulk, The Fantastic Four, The Silver Surfer, Iron Man and now The Avengers. The characters in the books stayed for all time as Stan Lee and Kirby made them. And I hope they will on-screen too, for the characters are loved by so many of the baby boom generation and their offsprings they deserve to be given the right production and way on the screen. The Avengers brings a cast of characters to the screen that needs little improvement at all, and is fun to watch, including the villains and beasts and armies. It’s all a fun time at the movies if you go, the intensive fight scenes, the teamwork and the way it all goes leads you to believe in teamwork and heroes, right down to Nick Fury!

      If you like excitement, a plot, a story to follow and great graphics and three-D affects The Avengers is a film to see. If you were a comic book fan as a child and want to see them come to life on the big screen and cheer and laugh and enjoy, then The Avengers is a movie for you!

 

Preparing for That Time!


     Thursday has begun once more and again another week is getting near its end, it seems folks, time flies by no matter how hard we try to change it or stop it, we all get older. The aging trap is something no one can escape it happens to all humans period.

      I admire people who age and realize it and do not let it affect the way they live. They still get up and enjoy their day by doing what they love in everyday. Some go walking, some do art and writing and yet others still do gardening and woodworking and more. The longer you do what you love to do, I believe the longer you will live. Broaden your loves and likes and find the thing that makes you feel whole and alive and grasp on and keep it in you and with you.

        Exercise is good too for all getting older as is taking some vitamins and supplements, but don’t over due, take only what is recommended by a Doctor for you. Watch the weight and posture, don’t sit and slump, move and have fun. It seems the ones who stay active live longest unless struck down by illness or disease.

       Live each day  like it is your last, have fun, do it well and don’t do it fast!. Enjoy it while you are here folks, for all  us know our days will come, for we are human. Prepare for that day by making a will and letting your thoughts be known for when you die. Don’t let yourself end up on Potters Hill or in an unmarked grave forgotten forever. You owe that much to your family, your loved ones and your friends.  Not to mention yourself and your own self-respect, believe me, for we all want remembered by someone after we are gone.

       Coffins and services go up in price and not all can afford such things. Personally, I do not want a Wake or Funeral, nor a religious ceromony. As we grow older, prices are getting more and more expensive to bury someone . I want to be buried at sea where I served for 12 of my 16 years as a U.S. Sailor who was Honorably Discharged. I want The Navy and one of their War  Ships, to take my ashes after cremation, to sea and dump them in the ocean off of my favorite port of call, Peru. No I am not  South American, I am an all American of Canadian French and Scottish decent, yet Peru is the most beautiful country and the people the best in the world and the waters are clear and clean there and I know I will rest in Peace. I also know The Navy will present a Flag to the survivor of my choice to remember me with and that is all I can ask as a man, a person and a human being. God Bless and I hope all can make a decision for themselves before their time comes too, that way you keep the burden off your children your wife or husband and friends too.

Children of the Future !


     Certain things in life we don’t go broadcasting all over the world or to friends or family. We don’t all brag about our sexual conquests, we don’t all brag where we get our money from and we don’t all brag every time we win or lose. But we all brag eventually about surviving and our children. Life is built around survival and the children or off-spring we have and how they impress us, with simple things at first then with more complicated ones and achievements. We all want to see our children do good and become able to survive, do better than we did and achieve their dreams. It is what makes a family a family no matter what. It’s that need of parents to see your children do good and the child’s need for parents approval.

       Yet across the world children go loveless, hungry, homeless and more, They get sexually molested and used and abused and more. Some are sold into slavery, some are killed in wars and by mentally ill parents, why, the child did not ask for what they got, nor did they ask to come into the world, did they? Nope two adults got together and created you and me and all children in the world no matter what color,race, creed, nationality, it’s all the same. A child is a child and should be protected and allowed to grow up and become who they should be, by someone watching out for them, teaching them and feeding and clothing them and providing for them period. Too many people have children out-of-wedlock or by accident, and can’t take care of them either, so they abandon them, or leave them on a step, some even kill them, or toss them into the streets. Sadly, we then wonder, how come that person is not normal, well no one taught them to be is why?

       I don’t care if your white, black, yellow, brown, or any other color or nationality, you know what I am saying is right! Children are the future of the world and nothing else matters. They will lead us in the future, they will invent, innovate and motivate each other and interact and make the world a better place for all. They will come up with inventions, medical knowledge, ways to politically conquer the world and lead others to a better place, Protect your children, raise them with respect, caring and love and teach them as the United States Declaration says, All Men are Created Equal! For in the end we all laugh, we all cry, we all get anger and we all sigh,we all bleed and our blood is red, it doesn’t matter what color or the hair on our head. Humanity my friends is one race and we all belong to it, just look and study each others face! The  children of the world is what it is all about, we must protect them and care for them, teach them equality, and respect and in the end we shall find a world of peace and hope and a bright new future!
