My thoughs on the bailout

OK, if I can't pay my bills I don't have anyone to bail me out so why do these banks and huge corporations get it?

Here is an idea; how about rather than bail out these banks why don't they find all the people who have mortgages that make under $250K and pay off our mortgages? It will have the same effect except that the banks will be able to close GOOD mortgages and they will have billions of dollars to work with. We won't have to pay the note any longer and will be able to spend several hundred dollars more a month on good and services. I bet there is over a million people who fit that bill and at $1000 a month average that is a BILLION dollars a month infused into the economy.

Think about it. All that money that would normally go to a mortgage would now be used to do things that would help the small business man that both candidates are saying needs it. I'd be buying new equipment, clothes, pay for things I would never have dreamed of like a lawn service and many other things that in themselves are kind of small but when a million people are doing it make a huge impact.

It is almost as if they are being rewarded for failure. How about rewarding the people who are working their asses off?

Peekaboo is on TV again!

It has been a while since I blogged or even messed with Next Level TV. Been trying some other things. Maybe we will do something this summer but until it pays some bills it is just going to have to wait.

Yeah, today Peekaboo had a job. Yes, my dog had a job. She was on TV this morning with a bunch of other dogs at a Pet Co where they are having a puppy health fair sponsored by Hills, the maker of Science Diet and others.

So CH13 has this REALLY SEXY pet consultant Kristen Levine there for the TV shot who was telling me me she used to have an old black lab too. Peekaboo was even cool enough to try and hook me up but you gotta figure someone that hot is married. Thanks Peek.



So anyway, this thing was about spending time with your pet and exersizing for the both of you. They had some exersizes that were obviously made up by some advertising executives sitting behind a table to try to get people interested. Bottom line, if you are sedintary like most just get up and go for a walk for an hour. It will do both you and your dog a great deal of good. 3 times a week and you have an exersize routine. If you have kids and a park nearby then you have a family outing 3 times a week and everyone gets exersize. Cut out the junk food and you are well on your way to a healthy lifestyle.



So thanks to the great people at INNOVA Marketing Anna for giving us the gig and Leroy and the gang on site. Peekaboo found another boyfriend while there but it is a long distance love affair. She was hooking up our boy here with a little luvin shall we say before everyone got there.

Same sex marriage in the US

Should the government recognize same sex marriages here? In my opinion they should but it won’t happen for a while for 2 main reasons. Prejudice and finances.

I don’t care who you are, if you are over say 30 – 35 and older we grew up in a different era. I can remember when I was a kid growing up in Ohio seeing “White” and “Black” drinking fountains and bathrooms on the highway rest stops. My father raised me commonly using the “N” word and there used to be ethnic jokes that would be really offensive by today’s standards told all the time. If you are hip to Carlos Mencia then you know what I’m talking about.

It was funny though that he never really made fun of gays. Which might seem odd but as I got older I learned that I had and uncle and a cousin that was gay. Funny how… But for the most part homosexuals were openly not tolerated back then and these kids that wear the all black would get their ass beat on a daily basis until they quit being that weird back then.

You can’t expect people who grow up in an environment like that to just completely change their way of thinking. Take the Academy Award winning movie Crash. If you have not seen it I urge you to.

So what does that have to do with gay marriage? Simple people that were raised to believe being gay was not a good thing may be accepting on the outside and make many different life choices but in many cases there is still some residual effect of their upbringing. It will take a couple generations to get rid of prejudice like that.

And then there is the financial aspect, insurance companies are some of the most powerful lobbying companies in the world. To a degree they control the world we live in. Don’t think so? Pay your insurance premiums for a few years and then need to make a claim and get turned down and see if that doesn’t ruin your day. How about having to wear seat belts and things of that nature; the insurance lobby is very powerful.

Do you think they want to add a bunch of people on to insurance rolls as spouses? Think how much they will have to cover? They are in business to MAKE money folks. They are not in business to provide you insurance that is just how they have chosen to make money. It isn’t like art. People don’t do art to get rich; they do art because it is something within them. Being in insurance isn’t something within you.

So will we see same sex marriages? People need to be more vocal and form large demonstrations and marches to expedite it. I just don’t see that happening; some day, just now right now.

Bill Gates leaves Microsoft

Only 50 years old Bill gates will be stepping down from heading MS in 2 years to focus on helping the worlds impoverished.

He gets it.

Makes my hair stand up.

He gets it.

The richest man in the world gets it.

It almost makes me well up thinking about it. Think what this man will accomplish. The world will be a different place.

Modern Medicine?

Modern Medicine. If you are really knowledgeable about the medical community then you know what I'm saying is true whether you admit it or not.

The term "practice" is used to describe a working physician’s career. But in reality that term has more relevance than you first might think. It is a practice alright, they are practicing on you.

See what most people don't realize is the doctors are just like any other job; except they are working on and troubleshooting the human body. Just like a mechanic works on your car. What they are failing to tell you and new research is proving is that we hardly know anything about the body itself and how it works.

We can tell you what is causing pains; explain the breaking down of the body but why? We don't know and there is a lot more we don't know.

For example: all the psychotropics and crap like Ritalin that we are feeding our society. What the hell did we do before these drugs came along? How did society function before they came along? We got along just fine; you sucked it up and went along. But that does not fuel the pharmaceutical industry.

What if you could take a common habit among children that is somewhat undesirable, label it something and then have a pill to fix it. You then teach doctors that this affliction can be treated with your drug. Doctors begin prescribing the drug and it becomes almost part of the fabric of the society. You'd get filthy stinking rich wouldn't you?

Most every ficken kid gets restless when they are growing up and at times have short attention spans - they are supposed to. Their brain is developing, their body is growing and it is a restless time. Drugging them is not the answer. If they are restless they need to expend the energy. It is simple to see in society if you look at it. Give them an interesting physical task, and get in tune with them to find out about them personally. What works for one person will not work for them all.

Go back 4 generations – about 120 years, when modern medicine was really getting a strong hold. Chemistry was really beginning to play a part and all the discoveries that we now take for granted were just about that time or soon to come. Also at that time we were moving from a primarily agrarian society (most people on farms) to a strongly metropolitan lifestyle. With this change the human body can’t make adjustments that fast so we went from working from sun up to sun down to working in factories. That has developed into a large portion of our population not even really “working” for a living. That is why we have such a huge weight epidemic in the US. That and we eat like crap.

So any way, the kids who used to have to help out around the farm and help around the house are now just expected to sit nicely with their hands folded like little angles and that isn’t’ going to happen. So we drug them?

The problem with all of this is that they are attempting to deal with something that is dealing with the intricate inner workings of the human body. An infection is actually caused by bacteria, illnesses are caused by viruses. These things are not part of the body and therefore are the object of the focus for treatment. Kill the bug and the body will heal itself.

Dealing with issues like LUPUS, cancer, MS and MD are afflictions of the body. Something is wrong with that particular body and it isn’t working right. It just so happens that it is a common enough hiccup that others have it and we name it. The problem is that we are trying to treat it like we do a bacteria and you can’t take a pill to cure cancer. It is a hiccup in the body and that is what you have to address. What is wrong in that particular body. Why did that cell go haywire, why did that gland stop functioning or over function? There is a reason for it and if you address what is wrong with THAT person rather than the fact that they have a swollen gland you then begin to treat the person. Not the illness.

Same with psychotropics, if they are trying to treat someone’s chemical imbalance it purely “practicing” to see what it will do. It isn’t like you take your car in and it is a bad starter or battery and you just replace it and it is fixed. We don’t know enough about the chemistry of the human body and how it works to be effective. What they are doing is trying to treat everyone with similar symptoms with drug X and see what that does. The trouble with that is that what might be a great chemical balance for me might make someone else insane. We are that individual and until we begin to address that with our treatment, it is still Stone Age medicine.

In the future doctors will be able to take a sample of your blood or some of your DNA and run it through a computer and it will be able to read what your chemical balance should be. They will compare that with where you are and then another computer will mix a custom prescription for you and dispense it to you on the spot. Curing what ever is wrong. But for now we are stuck with what we have. Best advice, take good care of yourself.

Time 4 change?

The US is undergoing another huge switch from large gas guzzling SUVs to small, efficient subcompacts.

For those of you old enough to remember 1974 and the gas crunch back then we did the same thing.

Kind of makes me wonder if the auto industry isn't urging on the oil industry.

It is like fashion and the "made up" holidays like Valentine's Day, Sweethearts Day, Mother's Day, and Fathers Day. Fashion changing every season that goes back and forth from long skirts to short skirts; from bright colors to soft earth tones; I hope all the clothes whores realize it is just a marketing ploy to get you to buy new stuff all the time. Part of the Republican agenda to keep the machine going. Do we really need those holidays or does business?

And how is this one... Do we really need to be at war right now? Talk about keeping the machine going. Ever notice we are always at war when the Republican's are in office? When a Democrat uses military force it is usually a strike, not a war. Republicans go to war for the same reason we get new clothes every season, to keep the was machine going to use up the old so they have to buy the new.

Too bad that in the equation they don't give a shit that part of that cost is our loved ones. It is just a part of doing business to them.

When will enough be enough?

OK, now this same government administration is tracking all our phone calls. When is enough going to be enough for these guys? You know as well as I do all this stuff isn't legal but since they are the ones intreperting the law they just say that it is legal and twist the laws to fit what they want.

Seriously, Clinton was about to be impeached for getting a blowjob and lying about it. Get real, do you think any man that cheated on his wife would pony up to that?

This administration has gotten us into a war over oil, plain and simple. You don't see them going to the rescue where genocide is taking place because they don't have oil. Our friends, brothers, sisters, mother and fathers are over dying over some bullshit lies.

This administration allowed 9/11 to happen and dropped the ball on Katrina. They also have used KGB tactics to do illegal searches and a variety of things that had Clinton done he would have been impeached years ago.

Well, it is time we got back at them. The FBI now has a government corruption reporting web site. If any of you know or suspect a government offical cheating in any way please visit this page

and report them.

Peace all.
