UNEMPLOYMENT

I hear on both domestic and international news lots of yak about UNEMPLOYMENT, This seems to be a problem in all the industrialized nations. Politicians not part of the current governments always blame the incumbents for not doing enough to alleviate the problem. It's time to face the truh. There are TOO MANY PEOPLE on this Earth. The many economic systems around the globe are unable to provide for the overpopulation. You can't "squeeze blood from a turnip". Do you suppose that if much less money was spent on war, and used instead to provide necesary nutrition, housing, and medical care, our world would be a much better place?

SAN FRANCISCO – Jack Balestreri was 17 years old when he got a job helping build the Golden Gate Bridge. He had hoped to make it to the span's 75th anniversary next month. But Balestreri -- believed to be the last surviving bridge worker -- died of natural causes at his San Francisco home on April 21, the San Francisco Chronicle reported on Friday. He was 95.

All those involved in the construction of the GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE were great people who designed and built a marvelous work of art. When I am in San Francisco and the Bridge comes into view, I never tire of it. Even if the day should come when the Bridge is no longer needed, it should be preserved, as are all great works of art.

THE DEATH OF DEMOCRACY

A premature obituary for the death of Democracy. It won't be sudden. It won't be swift. However, it will be. Maybe not in the lifetime of this writer, but maybe not long after. The billionares who have no compunctions concerning the financing of far rightwing superpacs are dumping fortunes into the destruction of our way of life, and they are depending on the stupidity of many votors to go along with the program. Beware! These people are fascists who hate democracy and the one man, one vote principle. If allowed, they will take your vote and mine, your neighbors votes and more, and turn the political system against all of the people who love democracy and worship the Constitution of the United States. Wake up citizrns! Do not allow this grim scenario to happen.

THE GREAT ONE

As I watch tv and hear all the yak about this "great one" and that "great one" it is clear that there arn't many "great ones". In show business, the Great One was Jackie Gleason. He was indeed, THE Great One. Since his passing, there has been none to equal him. Maybe there never will. Surely not in my lifetime. http://www.jackiegleason.com/

DEBT

Hundreds of billions of dollars have been spent on stupid wars. Can there be any better indicator that we have lost our collective mind? We are close to the precipice of no return. The fall will be horrible and there will be little chance of recovery. Our way of life will disappear, not likely to ever return. Who will be in power then? The far right? The far left? Either will establish a dictatorial style of government and the average person will be little more than a serf to be whipped by the powerful. Beware! Once you take this bend in the road, there may be no return.

Secret Service?

Or serviced in secret? If these guys are so stupid that they can't sneak out to get a little without it becoming a major schemozzle, then how can they be smart enough to provide proper protection for the President? DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH!!!

Mittt the Twit

I have concluded that the main thing Romney has going for him is that he's white. I suspect that his bosses in the Republican Party know this. Their job will be to prevent him from saying all the stupid things that he believes and stick to the script. When the debates come about, Obama will play him for the fool.
