Maybe what we Need to Do?


Advice for politicians comes from many sources, they have history and advisers, and one for every area out there, except one, the actual people they want to represent. The only way a politician who is running for office of any position learns anything real is to listen to the people they are working for. 

        In each state we have Governors and Senators and Representatives, few of which even bother to listen to those they are supposed to work for. Sadly once elected Politicians become like Drew Peterson who killed his four wives, they believe themselves to be untouchable. It’s not true folks, if the people you represent decide your too phoney and not worthy of your position, you can be voted out next cycle around. Such is the case for all public offices that get filled by-election cycles, and it would be wise to remember that for all members of the Senate and House. For I believe there comes a time when we as Americans have to realize we made mistakes when voting and remove the trash so to say and back up whoever is going to be our next President, so we can move the country forward and improve it. 

       Maybe, we thought we were being smart by using the old checks and balances system to hold President Obama in check when we elected a Republican House to balance it all. But Americans are now beginning to understand that we screwed this one up. You can’t elect someone President and give them no support or backing in the House or Senate and think things will change, it won’t happen.

       There is one big difference between the two parties that are out there now. One Party will spend, spend, spend till no money is left and stop. The second party will spend, spend, spend, and then when the money runs out borrow more and do so on credit and get us deeper in debt. Sadly it has been that way since way back when and is still today.

         If you want to win the Presidency this 2012 in November, I think you need to listen to the people this time for sure, they are angry in their own way.

         The children need better schools, and education,Stop this No Child Left Behind program it sucks. The Medical Program called Obama Care works but needs fixing in certain areas fix it.  Keep American Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines home, no more wars, no policing other nations problems and use that money to create jobs here at home. Take the funding for the wars, in Iraq and Afghanistan and bring it all home and pour it into manufacturing and creating products to sell to other nations, and balance the trade markets by tarriffing and taxing incoming products and raising the exports out so we get the trade balance in our favor once more.

      2012 will be a very important election in American History for we all must make a choice this year that will affect the country for years to come. We can vote, to elect a new President and Congress and move the country forward, but would it be the right thing to do, or would reelecting President Obama and giving him the support he needs in both theHouse and Senate be best?

       And is there a candidate whether it is Obama, Romney, Gingrich, Santorum, or Paul, who can promise us, they will stop borrowing Social Security money to pay bills, they will leave Health Care intact and Medicare and Medicaid too? Is there a candidate who can speak on how specifically they will create jobs, turn the economy around and make America a better place for future generations, instead of selling our souls and hearts to other countries? These are questions American’s need to ask and get answers to and the politicians need to answer truthfully for a change. America’s life as a free nation is at stake and it’s future too!.

Needs of The People and Elections


The possibilities of who can lead this nation for the next four years or more, are clear at this stage, but, how many of the four Republicans can really lead and make the important choices all need. And if they fail to hit the mark and have the right answers, I promise them, President Obama will have them.

       The choices are clear but are the issues and who will protect the American people if the wrong choice is made come November, no one. You want to win in November you will have to have solutions to certain issues that will work, not just be electable but be knowledgable and aware of the needs of Americans. How many of the Republicans are hitting the real issues at this stage and speaking the truth needed to repair the issues?

         I see the real issues for the American People and the country in the following items and wonder who has the real answers. 1) The American Economy and it’s failure to grow at a steady rate, why and how do you fix it? 2) Job Growth and creating real jobs that Americans can work at, get those factories running again, be inventive, innovative and realistic and remember America is made up of Blue-Collar workers not White-Collar ones. 3) Level the trade markets and trade agreements and get us on equal footing with the world once more We can keep importing, more than we export and survive, nor can we allow China, Japan, and other countries to flood our markets with items we can make if we set our minds to it. 4) Don’t hurt the elderly people of this country, do not touch Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security. Stop borrowing from the Social Security Funds, people put there for their own use in old age, matter of fact, add to it in some way and make it more solvent. 5) Medical and prescription costs are crazy, lower the bills, and costs and make medical care affordable for all, it doesn’t have to be federal run, but it has to be federal controlled or the Medical Practice personnel will own all Americans before they are 40. 6) Before Welfare is used on any family, make sure the parents are given a chance at a job somewhere. Retraining of people is vital to the American Work-Force and Economy! Restore American Pride and know how and use it!. 7) Keep us out of wars and policing of other nations, we don’t belong in there and we are not the world’s cops.

        As a Disabled American Veteran who served his country for 16 years and gave up his health to do so, I want the Veteran’s Benefits kept intact and even increased for those of us who served Honorably and earned them. I don’t want to hear cutting back on benefits, or VA. Hospitals not accepting qualified Veterans as patients that would be crap to me. So, I hope and pray these candidates running for office listen to the American People and get it right this time.

        Last comment here, if we re-elect President Obama you must give him a Democratic House and Senate to back him up for progress to be made. If you elect a Republican then you must do the same for them. No progress is what we got out of the 2008 election here and total gridlock, we can’t afford another four or eight years of the same, fix it folks.

Comic Characters and Books


Well, 2012 is bringing comic book characters to the big screen again and again and the next big group to hit the big screen will be Marvel Comics’ The Avengers. An interesting cast fills the film with fun and games and wars to fight, before they actually make it all right. We have seen now Spiderman hit the screen, The Fantastic Four, The Incredible Hulk, Batman in many forms,of course Superman,The X-Men. All coming from one source the comic book industry, and the vivid imaginations of such people as Stan Lee and others.

       While Marvel Comics leads the way with its charactors at this time splashing across the big screen, Captain America, Thor and next The Avengers, DC Comics has to realize their characters deserve the big screen experience too, and must be done right. Green Lantern was done decently in 2011 and it was an enjoyable film in 3D, and ended with a  prequel to what I hope is a return to the franchise once more with Sinestro vs Green Lantern.

       What I await is DC Comics to produce a Justice League film with established characters like, SuperMan,Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern,The Atom and many more from their collection of characters. Use only the ones that you can portray as realistic enough to work, like Marvel did in the X-Men Series.

        Comic Books have helped encourage children to dream, fantasize, hope and get lost on drawn and written words and worlds for a long time now. Yet the price of comic books climbs so fast it is sad to see. Comics I paid a nickel a shot for in the 1960s, now cost over five dollars a book today, why? I know artist and writers cost to keep around and all that, but over five dollars a comic come on!. I stay with DC now a days, due to the prices and I buy only the one series I love period. I can’t afford to give up five to six dollars a piece for comics, I barely can make the current 2.99 price from DC.

       The Comic book industry, saved many children with stories of bravery and taught many children to read and fantasize as I said earlier, but once reality hits a person and they realize the prices they are paying well sales will drop I am sure. The economy is very tight these days and paper, ink, and art work does not put your children through school, pay the mortgage or rent or put food in one’s mouth to survive.

       I will never begrudge the Comic Book Industry the right to make money or pay its employees. But on the other hand in order to survive less and less can afford their prices to read and fantasize about different characters or story lines, or worlds. Be careful comic book creators and artists, don’t price yourself right out of business.

Dreams and Depression


     Dreams are made to make one sleep more peacefully some would say, others would say they are made to be invaded by nightmares and destroy you. Which is the truth is based on a couple of things, 1) your stability mentally, 2) Your family life growing up, 3) How you learned to interact with others growing up. As we all know mental stability is the first firm foundation for human beings, because with that we can clearly all see the world in almost the same light and study how to react to all that happens.

         Then we run into diseases and problems beyond our control, obsessive compulsive behaviors, bi-polar individuals, depression in individuals due to chemical imbalances or mistreatment by others. Sadly, all occurs to humanity on this planet and all we can do, those who are considered medical experts or normal individuals even, is offer assistance to them. Hopefully, we can help these individuals, or at least protect them from themselves. Pain and hurt is a constant reminder in the world to humanity that it still exists and goes on, believe me. If you pinch me do I not yell, if you cut me do I not bleed? In life those pinches and cuts, can be physical or mental and they can hurt or damage someone for the rest of their life.

       Depression is a state of mind when nothing and I mean nothing reaches you mentally, you don’t care what you do, or who does what to you. Your continuously put down verbally by others, no matter what you do it is never enough, you feel like you fail to reach what others have and never, ever get approval. People around you put you down, they disrespect you and you never fight back, it piles up on you mentally and ultimately, you may succumb to it and never be heard from again. Depression ruins lives of those depressed and all of those around them too, so that those around the depressed individual, run from them afraid of being dragged down with them. It is a sad world in which to live when you are depressed.

        I know there are Doctors and medications and programs and institutions for people depressed in America and they do a job too. It’s a good thing they exist all who need them, god bless the ones that handle these patients, the medical staffs, nurses, doctors and interns, are to be thanked for all they do.

          Mental stability can not be measured easily, nor can chemical imbalances in the body, nor can the damages done by humans to humans when raising them or mistreating them physically and mentally. Nor can humans read minds and know when someone is depressed unless, they pay attention to the depressed one. So, folks, here is what I say, Depression is as big of a killer as heart attacks, and cancer and unless caught, people go into depression and end their own lives. Sadly, not too many even think about interfering to stop such a thing and people die.

       Depression of the human mind and human soul is equal to lost hope and no desire left to live. Depression must be fought just as much as all diseases must.

Life Destiny,or Fate?


      Is life really a choice for us all, or were we all put here  for reasons beyond our control? I always though, each human being was put here to complete certain missions in life , and once we complete those missions we return from whence we came. But is that true, I really don’t know , I just draw on that feeling as my life drifts by, and i see others leave us here on earth.

        Stop and think now, we didn’t ask to be brought into the world when we were born, we didn’t have a choice in who we were born to,how we were brought up and raised did we. Fate deemed all of it or did a supreme being? And how would we ever know anyway, we are too busy trying to stay alive, and get done what we need to, like ants on an ant hill.

        Mankind is like the ants really we all blindly multiply at a god given rate and timing pattern, we scurry all across the planet, doing things at times we have no idea why we do them but we blindly do. We build homes and neighborhoods like ants and protect them and if they get wiped out we move on and do it all over again and again. While ants own the smaller world’s at their size and time, and place, till humanity or another species comes along and stomps them out, so goes the same for us their larger counterparts.

         Long ago when I was a kid, I used to study nature and animals and insects and more. I had my little microscope and would examine all things dead or alive under it. I think we all did it at some point in our childhoods, yet we don’t all admit it lol. As we grow older we tend to accept things more and live with things as they happen, it’s called adapting to society and environment. Just like the ants below our feet, we scurry about for safety, we build nests, we forage food and we multiply. When under attack we all like the ants gather and fight back. Stop and think, is mankind just a bigger species that without resembling ants, who are programmed at birth to do the exact same things as ants and other species do?

      What are we all really here for? Will we ever really know, what our purpose really is here? Will we ever be able to predict the future, control the future, stop destroying the planet or anything else? Is life just destiny or fate?
