Sunday,/ Job Markets/Veterans/Pet Peeves


       Sunday has arrived and for many it is Church Day and for others it is relaxation day. and for still others it is a day remembrance. What counts the most is that each can reflect in their own ways on a chosen Sunday, and prepare for their next Monday! Sundays always have a more relaxed atmosphere for mostly everyone, and that is indeed a day of rest.

           That said, I see across America people begging for work and jobs, jobs dropping like flies because Uncle Sam kills the businesses that run them. They are over regulated, over fined, taxed too. Sadly not all Americans can be self employed, but the ones that can’t need these small companies to keep going, Uncle Sam needs to get off it’s dead ass and help the America Economy more.Congress needs the American people to kick their asses into gear!

      I have many pet peeves in life and the world, 1) I hate stupid people, 2) I hate liars and thieves 3) I hate two faced people. Then I have my other pet peeves that don’t count and one can live with. The bottom line is there are certain things one can live with and one can live without. And foe me those are mine to avoid and for others they may be different, but we all can still agree to disagree and get along, why can’t all in the world?

        I gave 16 years of my life in serving my Country, for it I received 6 herniated discs in my spine,PTSD and a Medical Discharge when I didn’t really want one. But in the end Uncle Sam has given me my Medical, Dental and Disability Payments each month to live on. I am lucky as a man in that way, for as a Disabled Veteran in America most respect us for what we did for our country. I hope all will respect all Veterans no matter what color, race, nationality. We all Served and deserve a Memorial Day Weekend. To those who Gave their lives and the survivors, you have the deepest respects of all Veterans who survived and The American People too I am sure!

The Unending Jodi Arias Trial!


  After watching the Jodi Arias Trial to it’s uneventful conclusion of no  Decision on the death penalty or life I wonder about the Justice System in America!  Jodi Arias brutally murdered Travis Alexander and now stands a greater chance of life in prison than death.  Whats sad about the whole case is, she stabbed Travis 29 times, slit his throat ear to ear and shot him in his face, and no reason is given for why, nor, is there any remorse on her part being shown. I have heard her say it was self-defense, well that has to be crap! How can a naked man in a shower, no clothes, no weapons except a wash cloth and a bar of soap and shampoo be attacking her. It’s bullshit, but she drove her own defense, but ended up convicted anyway. While personally, I do not believe in the Death Sentence for anyone, I do not believe in the old eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth sorry. The Alexander family should get with Juan Martinez and have him drop the death penalty and change it to life in prison, at least she will never get free again. Is as Steven and Samantha Alexander said, they tire of this and seeing her in a court room, bashing their brother, then to get Justice drop the death penalty and move on  and give her life in prison with no parole. At least she will never hurt an honest, hard-working, person again and never walk free. While this Life Sentence will not give the Alexanders the full justice they want and deserve, it will end their misery of seeing this woman again and again in a court of law and give them time to heal once more. To Juan Martinez who prosecuted Jodi Arias, you did a terrific job doing so. But, there comes a time when Arizona and the people of Arizona can not afford to keep retrying this woman. Secondly the cost is crazy, look at the numbers.  Thirdly, where will you find twelve more Jurors who know nothing of this case or the defendant, and be able to make a decision the will not be biased to her?  I don’t believe any in America can do that after the Television coverage and Media coverage this case got and Jodi got period. SO you should talk it over with your boss and the Alexander family and get her life with no parole!

Innocents, Welfare,Murderers and The Death Penalty


       Too many killed innocently in this world, the innocents are always the victims. Sadly America’s crime rates are getting worse each year and the population is getting denser too. The amount of children born to some parents are crazy in today’s world and economy. A family should be limited to one or two children per couple or marriage, because at the rate we humans multiply, we will use up the resources, the planet supplies, at a rate too fast for humankind to survive.

      I have a few problems with people on Welfare too. How can a family produce all these children then end up on Welfare and food stamps too and then drive Cadillacs and Sports cars around? Why is that possible? Why do Americans as a society, award people who have so many children by giving them Welfare and Financial Aid? I can’t Figure it out at all!

        Next, I hear complaints from many that jobs are not to be found, yet, Primerica a growing Financial Services Company that sells Insurance,Financial Programs to help families is looking for people all the time and growing by leaps and bounds.

         In the area I live in, Waterbury, Connecticut, we have a bigger problem then just people without jobs. The People we have without jobs are people whose families have been manufacturing people, No Factories, No jobs, so you end up with blue collar workers out of work and only retail or white collar jobs to be had. Shouldn’t someone set up a program to retrain the blue collar worker for white collar and retail jobs, before you bring in more retail stores?

      Why continue to grow the Retail Industry in an area where economic recovery and jobs are not to be found? Silly isn’t it?

       My final comments for today concern Justice and The American Way. The courts in 32 states have the death penalty as in Arizona. we have murderers  like Jodi Arias on trial and in that phase where life or death must be decided by a jury. Yet we are still barbaric enough to think of an eye for an eye as the solution to it all? Why? Has mankind and Americans not learned the to give a killer a death sentence is to just murder another person, making the States’s Government and the people of the state no better then the murderer they kill?

 

 

Oklahoma , Global Warming, Murderers, and Writing


      The Oklahoma Tornado tore through the small town there and destroys building, children and adults, making a town of sadness and hurt once more in America. I pray for the survivors and the dead and hope they recover somehow and send my condolences to those who lost relatives in it.

        I hope rescue efforts and help is on the way to them and Uncle Sam should kick in and help, not only with the clean-up, but with benefits and help for the families.

        That said, the world still carries on, with sadness yes but time will move forward.America has disavowed, Global Warming yet the evidence is everywhere in the world that you look. Someday, people of the world will destroy the planet we live on and exhaust the resources we have, then what?

       We pollute, we destroy, we strip and kill our planet just as sure as we have murderers in our numbers.  Sadly we can’t change the weather or global warming, nor can we control weather fronts or rain, or snow. Wish we could so we could prevent some of the disasters in the world we have to face and overcome.

        Next subject, murder in America, The current hot case is The Jodi Arias Case in Arizona. She murdered her boyfriend Travis Alexander, in cold blood and premeditated and now faces the Penalty Phase in her case, the choice must be made by the jury to recommend death or life for her. Is Jodi Arias worth saving, is there anything in her life, if she lives can she have any redeeming value, to save her life for?

       That said and done, because it will go down, in a court of law in Arizona today, Jodi Arias must speak if she plans to save her own life and show remorse and beg for mercy More than once her Attorneys have tried to back out of the case due to Jodi Arias not following their plan of attack, and not listening to them. But The Judge said no each time and i agree with the Judge, Jodi Arias may believe she is smart enough to save herself, but she isn’t. Nor should anyone in a criminal procedure in court be their own lawyer.

        Final word for today by me, I continue to attempt to write poems and stories and post them on Kindle E-books, hoping to be recognized, and sell a few. I may not be the greatest writer in the world but at least I am trying to create and be different and make some money.

My Post Today Is My Poem!


                                     Dreams Don’t Go Away

                                     By: William M. McCurrach

 

I dreamed of peace. I dreamed of joy, I dreamed of things like all little girls and boys.

I dreamed of  love, I dreamed of caring, I dreamed of a family full of sharing.

I dream of all that could be, why couldn’t my dreams come true for me?

My Dreams were like every other child’s,

A World of fun, love and things so wild,

I did not dream of what happened to me,

I did not pick my mommy and daddy!

I did not ask to be brought into this world,

Any more than any other boy or girl!

I did not dream of living in fear,

I did not dream of siblings, who would not share,

Or,  a mother and father who had no care.

I did not ask for the beatings I got,

I did not ask to be hurt and threatened to be shot.

I did not ask for the memories I got,

Where I wake up running and sweaty from who knows what!

I dreamed of peace, I dreamed of joy,

I dreamed because I was a little boy.

The years of dreaming have gone by,

But I still feel the pain and see the beatings in my mind’s eye.

I see the poker coming down on my head,

His big hands,  grabbing me, and pulling me from my bed.

I wake up sweaty, my body trembles, my  mind races to survive,

My dreams you see were real for me,

Back when they were alive.

So, as you raise your children today, think of the pain of my memories and how they won’t go away!.

Please treat your children better is all I can say!.

 

Don’t Think the missing parent is missing on their own!


        Today’s subject may upset some people, and some children of people who were raised by second parents, like step-moms, or step-dads. But the subject must be discussed because I find the fact the some people think, because their original birth parent is not with them growing up that we forget them, don’t love them or like being replaced or that we left on our own free will, we didn’t. Parents leave their children behind for many different reason and if the parent is decent they will come back later and try to straighten out the feelings their children have of abandonment. We didn’t ask to be divorced, nor did we ask for the circumstances we had at the time, and not always are we responsible for leaving, we were forced out by the parent your living with, always remember that! Choice had to be made at the time of the leaving parents departure, like where would my kid or kids be better off, why would they be better off there and would  I or could i raise them on my own. For many fathers the truth is they won’t be able to handle raising a child on their own, they work too much and they can’t handle all of it alone. Even if most father’s won’t admit it it is true! 

        No father, or mother would voluntarily walk away from their child, unless they are on Alcohol or Drug Addicted, or Mentally Ill in some way.So the assumption by many children missing one parent or another, is the automatically to blame the missing parent. Wrong folks, it is more likely the parent you grew up with, the mother is the one that asked for the divorced and forced the father out for her own reasons. So reevaluate it and see the truth.

 

 

 

Disrespect, lack of Discipline in America?


      As I read the morning news and see it on television each day, I begin to wonder, why the American People who elected President Barrack Obama, don’t call him President or Mr. President that often? Is it his skin color, or doesn’t he act Presidential enough, or stand his ground enough, what is it! I get angry when I hear newscasters from CNN, CBS, ABC, HLN, Or NBC which are all the biggest stations and networks in America call him just Obama! Why is this, I would like an answer to it please, they speak about any former President and it is president immediately, but with this man they just want to call him Obama. Pure disrespect if you ask me, and sad that Americans let it happen every day on Television and in news print too.

       I find it upsetting that Ambassadors, Senator and even Congressmen and women get addressed by their titles all the time, but a President of The United States doesn’t on a constant basis and he has been duly elected not once but twice? What is happening in America?  Sadly, America is losing respect for itself not just it’s Presidents and that is what is wrong with this country, as we fall down the ladder of countries slowly over time, Respect, Honor, Loyalty, Trust, and the ability to use manners, ethics and morals are disappearing from our society we need to bring it all back. Sadly, if it continues as it is, America will fall like all the great Civilizations before us in the world, They all fell from grace and power due to the crumbling pieces I mentioned above and greed. So, America wake up, fix it and lets stay on the top!.

Friday, Lacking Items in 2013 America!


       Friday has arrived in America, it’s a night when most get off work and have free time  by Saturday for two days at least. Amazingly, what we choose to do with the two days off from work we have is amazing to me, people do some strange things and others do normal things. The American perspective on free time, run from exercise, to riding, bike, powered and non and so much more. Sports, Movies, meals, shopping, clubbing, concerts, amazingly America has it all. What isn’t amazing is the fact not everyone can afford these things. Movies are now 8 dollars a shot, shopping everything is rising in prices, gasoline prices are high and not dropping soon it seems. SO what are Americans to do for pleasure when it takes them half of what they can save in a week to have fun on the weekend? The answer for many is what costs less, rent a movie, a game, read a book, go on the internet and chat or play or search for items of interests. The thing is America can not afford to pay for High School Sports anymore, and the school systems are going broke too. America is becoming a nation of people whose interests are not as varied as they used to be, the question is why?

         I can’t explain the many changes in American society and culture I have lived through in my life alone. This country is continuously changing in nature  in interpersonal relationships, In work ethics, morals and more. It amazes me how few people have any morals, ethics or manners  in America these days. Ever notice few men open doors for their women, few men pull a chair back for women, few know to say God Bless You when someone sneezes. The basic manners and morals and ethics of the generations before us, are disappearing in American Society and culture why? Is it the schools faults due to budget cuts, or is it in fact the fault of the parents who raise our children these days? In the 1960’s if a child talked back to a parent, stole something or swore, they paid a price, a bar of soap in their mouth, a smack upside the head, a spanking, or at the very least being grounded and their toys and games taken away. Not today, Today parents put the video game consoles, and tvs and radios and cell phones in a kids room. Sadly no real punishment is being applied to a child in this way and they laugh it off! Sad isn’t it?

        The days of a disciplined child who knows right from wrong seems gone in America, and as long as parents, teachers and adults in general don’t teach children respect, manners, ethics, morals, the American Child will keep growing unruly, depressed, sad, unhappy and out of control. If it worked in American Society for so many generations to teach our children moral, ethics, manners and honesty and truth it should work today too. Racism has no place in America, hatred has no place here either, we are a nation now under attack by other nations who wish to destroy us and kill our people we need discipline for our children, we need education for our children, we need to provide them with Social Security, Medicare and the Benefits we had as we grew older too. Someone has to tell congress and America, wake up, do what is right protect Social Security, protect Medicare, Medicaid, The Postal Service, jobs and Education for our future Generations, tell Congress and The Senate and The President the Country needs all of-these things and Government that works not bickers and fights constantly! Make the Government do their jobs they were voted in  to do! Contact your Senator, Your Congressman or woman and tell theme enough!
