America are we the police force for the world or what? First decades ago we get involved in countries like Korea, Vietnam for stupid reasons and never out right win them, now we get into Iraq and depose of Saddam Hussein and his own people kill him, then we move into Afghanistan for what? Now we are divided in Afghanistan and Libya and trying to police both countries for what? Please someone explain the political reasons for these actions by our government, because I see no reason for us to be involved in any of it. We failed in policing Korea, Vietnam, that’s not our militaries strength at all.

Afghanistan has it’s own way of life and style. They have nothing we want or really need, yet we spend billions fighting for them against Al Qaida? Come on now we can’t even find Osama Bin Laden on our own because  the Afghanistan’s, Palestinians and Yemen’s are hiding him from us. Yet we fight for these people, what are we stupid. Our people both honorable and strong are dying in this fields and lands for what now?

Then we have the fiasco of Libya and it’s megalomaniacal leader. If we had any sense we would have aimed for him with the first few missiles this time around and not missed ending this mess. Again Libya is not a war folks it’ setting up and maintaining a no fly zone right? Come on now, the news reporters call it a War, the President says it isn’t. Well As a Disabled American Veteran myself, I say any action in which Americans are killed or sacrificed for any reason is a War period. Now we need to kill their leader and get the hell out as fast as possible.

The American economy can not afford any more military action nor can it’s citizens. We need to get out of these wars fast, efficiently and stop what we are doing. If we bring all our troops and equipment home, stop all fighting by our military and just protect our own and feed our own economy the money we waste in these fights, we can house our own homeless, feed our own hungry and create our own jobs. The money is crazy we spend fighting for other countries. Are we the worlds protectors? We can’t babysit and hold up every country and make it all democratic in the world it will not happen, so lets get out while we can.

A Closing thought for all to consider, I recently saw an article on Muslims in America on CNN and it showing how many Americans want to force them out of our country and neighborhoods. Well, I have a reply for all of those that do. Leave them alone, not all Muslims are terrorists nor are they all bad. I know this because I was raised by one who practiced his beliefs in silence and raised me and my four siblings without a problem anywhere. He took on the older two children that were not his own, raised us as his own and his own three after us too. So when you condemn all Muslims in America or start a hate war on them I can tell you you are wrong. Period so stop the bull!

World problems come and hit hard like all that has happened in Japan and mankind responds by helping the best they can, Libya’s leader goes mad and again mankind finds a way to warn and respond to this mad man, an tell him to back off, and it helps. But as we go from Iraq to Afghanistan, to Libya  and across the world helping everyone we can, can I ask one question who helps the USA.?

 

Our economy is tanking, prices of food, oil and clothing and housing rising daily. Jobs being given to other countries and our welfare rolls increase daily. When will we learn it is time to curtail and cutback helping everyone else, and to start helping ourselves. If we pulled out of Iraq completely, scaled back our involvement in Afghanistan to a minimum and stopped taking on Libya’s madman, we would save billions upon billions to work on our own economy, our own schools, our own jobs and manufacturing. Why do we continue to help countries that once we leave they will turn on us in the end? I do understand politics. I do understand diplomacy, but both can only go so far. Especially when the countries we help will do little to nothing to help themselves or us if we need it. So why, continue to spread ourselves so thin. Someone please explain this to us.

 

Last but not least is the oil crisis. This oil crisis is not driven by a supply and demand issue, it is not a lack of oil, it is an over abundance of suppliers who speculate and make prices go higher. If you don’t believe it take a look at what happened recently with oil. The price was rising and rising and went over one hundred dollars a barrel on the open market, then Japan got hit with the triple whammy problem, of a Earthquake, Tsunami and now Nuclear reactor problems. They aren’t using much oil now, so due to that fact the speculators lowered the price of oil to make up for that loss. Sadly this is what is ruining and destroying the world’s economy and killing nations. Sadly we as American’s are too damn generous indeed. What we should do is simple, Libya’s leader is a mad man and he is killing  his own, he has oil there he is threatening to withhold and destroy. Why not just go in end him and then take over Libya and annex the damn place and take over the oil wells too. If America did that the oil market would change big time and so would the price of oil period. I know, I know, we can’t do that, we fear the Muslim world too much.

  If Second Life had some sense to it and someone is controlling it properly they should check this Sim closer for children and underage participation. Dirty Talk has numerous young people roaming through it at different times and allows them to participate and listen to all the sexual conversations and people who masterbate in it. Sadly this is released over the interent and no age verification or control is put in place by Second Life or the DIrty Talk  Voice Sim itself. They claim to have security people in the sim and they tag them as so, but half of them are children who are not old enough to make decisions for themselves either.
  Second LIfe’s largest problem is sims not controlled or regulated by their own owners or by Second Life itself. While it is a amazing product that many who find it love, it is aso one that has a double edge to it. On one edge it is a great place for many to use their imaginations and expand their horizons in and to interact and view other cultures and more.But it is also a place filled with sims like Dirty Talk that allows anyone to enter without age verification or proof and of course children will venture there. If You believe Second Life should allow these sims with naked Avatars, pure sexual talk and masterbation over voice online then have fun, but I think the U.S. Government should stop this over American servers.

Across the world, so many disasters take place and so many accidents too, it at time sis unbelievable to live with on the News and on radio and Television. We all feel for the survivors of these disasters like Japan’s massive earthquake and tsunami . We all want to help so much, but there also comes a time when we have to face some bare facts, we are not the America we have been in the past.

We do not have the money and energy  nor ability to spread ourselves so thin anymore. We can not solve Iraq’s problems, Afghanistan’s problems and now Japan’s. We are not the big money making country we have been in the past, although we shall always have the world’s greatest military to defend and support us. And sadly to say, we over extend our military  and our budgets to help others and in the end we destroy ourselves. Why?

In the past we have paid to rebuild Japan after World War Two, because we dropped the big one on them. We did the respectful thing and the right thing then and will probably do so now. It’s how we  as Americans work and live. We do not have the ability to tell a nation no when it is in a bad place or if it has a disaster like Japan did. We will rush in and provide all the assistance we can of course. But, if we have disasters in America, you will not see other countries rushing to our aid, they just watch as we pick ourselves up and fix it alone. It’s amazing that no matter what happens the first place and people the world looks at for help and assistance is The USA. We always seem to be the ones they all believe are so much better off we can always help someone else. Why?

We Americans witnessed this disaster in Japan from a distance of course but we also know these are now Allies and Friends so we rush in for humantarian reasons and because it is right. We shall do our best to help as much as we can from repairs to feeding them and medical care and more. It’s because who we really are that we do these things. In the end, we shall be the ones giving as usual and doing our best at it too.Japan once a member of the hated Axis powers of World War 2, is now a friend of ours after we rebuilt them of course. And we Americans do forget and forgive and carry on don’t we. AH Japan needs the assistance and the great and wondeful USa will do it’s best to help.

God help the survivors and the whole country of Japan and may they be able to recover fully and 100 percent. As we are seeing though one disaster led to another from earthquake to tsunami, now to Nuclear power plant failures and radiation problems. When shall it all end is the question? Hopefully, we can help prevent the meltdowns and save what is left the best we can. May God help and protect and save.

I ventured onto Second Life which is a simulated world online for people to live out their fantasies and have fun in. It has an Adult Section that usually checks and controls the sims and the age requirements. It seems though Dirty Talk and other adult Sims allow children into their sims with outright verbal and mental abuse to children.  The Owners of this sim disagree with  people who visit their site when you tell them they have children in it. They supposedly, monitor it they say, yet the sim is loaded with underage children telling sexual fantasies and adults abusing them. The Owners are called a Stephanie SteamWeaver on the sim and her male partner Lucious Coberts. These two adults have no way of checking the ages of the people they allow in their Sim World and these children enter listening to sexual language and acts no child should be allowed to hear. This sim lets Avators with full nudity parade through it exposing children to simulated female and male body parts that should never be in front of a minors eyes. Sadly Second Life doesn’t check close enough either or else these two individuals would be disallowed to run such a Sim in public enviroment that children can reach.

Why Second Life encourages such perverted and nasty language and Sims on their program and servers is the real question? Dirty Tal is a voice simulator allowing females and makes to talk an dvoice sexual acts and innuendos in a public internet envioroment. While I am sure Second Life charges these individuals to run these sims  on their servers, the fact children are going in and out of this sim and other slike it alone should be stopped and these nasty, sexual sims removed from Second Life Period before them harm our children across the world.

As a adult who wnet on Second Life I have witnessed this and wonder what kind of people own Second Life and allow this to happen and not make any effort to control or fix it. I recommend to all who can be found , that you petition and call and e-mail Second Life and any authorities we can to stop this online. Children can not protect themselves from people like these perverts and sexual animals.

Second Life can be found and e-mailed on line at their web site, needed is as many people as possible to e-mail and complain to Second Life about Dirty Talk and these adult sims. Some form of censure and protectionneeds to be installed and carefully controlled. All who read this need to e-mail or call Second Life and all Authorities who controll Internet usaeage in the USA and get this stopped.

March is a coming tomorrow and today is the end of February 2011. The cold of winter still lingers and the skies are still grey, it seems the wetness is here for a while to stay. Hopefully the winter shall come to an end soon, for so much grey, makes for a depressing scene and view. It seems to seep into a person and make you depressed because the sunshine outside is so much less. But, it changes as the year goes by, so, things get better for you and I.

There is always home repairs and things to care for and about to do. And fun times and sad times seem to roll on through. But that’s life in it’s own way. As I always say, We are all put on this planet to complete missions we don’t even know about, but once we complete those mission, we are recalled to where we all came from. So, as you do all you do each day, and things  get done or in your way, remember to live fully and have fun, because sometime you may not be here to get anymore done!.

 

So no matter what you do, or where you go, do it one hundred percent and all the way, and you shall live life to the fullest and happiest is what I say!!

During the 1980’s, Libya and Gadafi were problems the world did not want to deal with then, anymore then today. As a sailor I sailed on ships sent to the area that had the mission of taking out this madman, but we never got him. Today he is  a bigger madman then ever before, killing thousands of his own people to try to stay in power. Sadly we all know that soon he shall end up either dead or captured and then tried and convicted for his crimes by his own people, like Sadaam HUsien before him. The Libyans have finally had enough of this Dictator and Tyrant and decided he has to go, the only question that remains is how he shall go. Will his own people trap and hang him as they did in Italy to Mussolini? Or will he be captured then tried and hanged or shot as Sadaam was in Iraq? It is indeed a process impossible to stop for sure now.

A note and letter to our President here in America now. Dear Mr. President Obama, we have enough problems we are trying to solve here at home and abroad already, please do not involve American Troops in this fiasco in Libya!. Afghanistan and Iraq are enough and we should get the hell out of those countries too now. We have enough problems domestically to deal with, and although we still remain a military and diplomatic power on the world lets not spread ourselves too thin, ok!.  Solve our own problems first and lets straighten our own house up before we go helping any others any more.

Lets pass a damn budget first and foremost and keep our own country running Mr. President. We elected Representatives and Senators and you to run the country and keep us solvent and moving forward, not bog us down in more morass. Pass a damn budget and lets get on with it already. Leave the Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security alone, People in our country depend on these things to survive, stop the bullshit and cut some defense budget shit, some office staffs, and other items.  Why ask the American people the lower or middle class included to pay more taxes? Get the rich ones to pay they have it and yet get away with keeping it and not paying more then the ones lower on the totem pole so to say. Wake up America!

Each day I wake up reminded that I served my country for 16 years, because my back and neck spinal injuries ache and hurt me beyond compare. I suffer through it all and take meds and walk with a cane now a days. I am no hero or Superman, I am an American who served his country is all. Don’t touch my Social Security or my Medicare, don’t take away my Disability Checks each month, because you politicians can’t get a budget together. I like many other Americans who served rely on these funds to live, don’t make me come camp on the White House Lawn in a tent. Wake up Congress, Wake Up Mr. President, do what is right save the country, fund it and lets move on.

The Federal Government wants to let itself shut down because Congress and President Obama can’t agree on budget issues. Doesn’t this sound like a Husband and wife arguing over who will pay what when and why? To me it sounds like a spat, and the two sides need a mediator then, I will volunteer if they like. I will tell them what to pay for and what not to if they want me to.Defense keep it steady and strong is all you need to do. Don’t mess with Medicaid, Social Security or Medicare. Cut office staffs, Cut supplies, cut non-essential personnel.  Take all the damn extras out, the ear marks you all attach and while your at it take a pay cut Congress, cause your failing to do your job anyway, you can’t even pass a budget correctly. Republicans stop trying and wasting time on repealing Health Care Reform provided by Obama, and just fix it if you have to, but leave it in effect. Too many Americans need some form of health care insurance and what Obama did provided many with coverage who didn’t have it, will what you do cover the same people? I doubt it, I really do. I had my ears flushed out of wax by a Medical Clinic and then by a hospital cause the clinic didn’t get it right. Why doe sit cost 224.00 dollars to get this done, when all one needs is hydrogen peroxide and warm water and a syringe? Please explain that to me? Make it simple and easy will you, cut the overhead charges from the medical side, it’s crazy. I had a Tia stroke, and the ambulance to run me less then 10 miles to a  hospital sent me a bill for 5,ooo dollars! Five Grand for a ambulance ride come on now, some one is bullshitting me and trying to take me. SO I did what all good American Citizens who served their country and became Disabled Veterans would do, I handed the bill to the Veteran’s Administration who paid it off, and they got a lot less then what they wanted for sure.

 

Government shutdown my ass, If our Government shuts down on March 5th, 2011, by November 2011  we should put all of Congress out of office for not doing their jobs we elected and pay them to do. If we elected you and are paying you stop taking vacations, and trips for fun on our money, get back to work, roll up your sleeves and get a damn budget taken care of and passed!. No excuses needs, none excepted ok!. If you don’t get it done, many of your employers, the American People are going to be madder then hell and not take this shit much more. So if I was elected to Congress as a Senator or Congressman I would definitely be a lot more careful and work a lot more harder if I wanted to keep my job. Put your noses to the grind stone Republicans and Democrats and Tea Party folks, and lets get it done and taken care of, why you messing around, compromise where you have to do but do it!.

 

We the American people do swear by our Constitution and Our Bill of Rights, that if  Congress and our President can’t do the job and keep our country running then, they should not be in office anymore, should they folks?

Oil Prices hit 100.00 dollars a barrel today again, Gas prices will rise, heating oil will rise and everyone will pay more. Libya has internal problems the prices jump. Why? It’s a political game actually and if the world had a brain they would not buy Libya’s oil at all. They are only raising the price to pay for their own internal troubles is all. We all know that now and should just say the hell with them, and buy the oil elsewhere.

 

Next is the political unrest here in America over prices and costs to each state to run themselves. The weather conditions worsened this year with big snow and ice and costs the states more money to clean up. Now that many states are in deficient they are asking their citizens to pay high taxes and give up Unions. That is crazy too, because America was built up by Unions over the decades and century and the Unions helped it’s members and the economy at the same time.  So why ask the Unions to disappear unless, your scared they will want more of everything for their money too. Negotiate Governors, and don’t kill the unions that have supported and helped it’s members and the country too.

Each day brings news of Tyrants, Dictators, running and stepping down or fighting being put out of power.  Listen up Leaders and Dictators and Tyrants etc, if the people you lead wanted you in power you would not be rebelled against or chased around your country till you die or leave, they would keep you in place. Obviously you have all done something wrong to the people you talk about leading. You can’t lead by force only that’s number one, nor, can you stay in power by force in any way. The people are the force, damn your Armies to hell, because in the end if the people want you gone it will happen. When the population numbers out number your military show of force members/ armies, guess what they will take you down by getting to your weapons and more. SO make your minds up and listen to the people or get over run.

Each day I try to wake up and see something good in the world as well as something bad and contrast the two and see what happens. But lately you wake up and you have revolutions in many countries, our people in other countries dying for causes they do not know what they really are and dictators being crazy and overthrown.  After seeing all of the above happening  in other countries, I wonder do we need one here in America, so we can get our own Government to work properly and not screw us all over?

Then here in America we have peace on the war front of course, but politics rules the air waves with Republicans pointing at the Democrats and Obama and saying they don’t know what they are doing, and we do. What the hell is that all about.  Frankly speaking no politician in America knows what the hell they are doing anyway, if they did our taxes in each state would not be going up,. Seem almost ever state in the country is raising taxes now, and the Federal Government isn’t helping by fighting over what budget to pass and when. You know you have to pass a budget anyway folks, just pass one that will hold you  over longer as you  argue and make sure you pay us veterans, social security folks and help us all still in need otherwise we may all end up at your doorsteps, wanting to sleep in your mansions and homes. Sadly, some cuts will have to happen both Federally and on a State level for most states. Not much can we do to prevent or stop it can we, except to tell them to leave our social security and disability checks and Medicare and Mecaid alone, we all need it. Call your Congressman or Senator or both folks, tell them to settle the budget woes and get a move on and leave what is helping us all out alone, now!
