Right now, we've been infested with a gimme gimme gimme attitude. This country was built by people who GAVE, and we've all gotten used to having all these things that our parents and grandparents paid for. We take them for granted.<br /><br />Frex, it's highly disturbing that people seriously consider GIVING AWAY our road system and other vital infrastructure to corporations so they can tax us directly for using roads WE paid for. We had a strong economy precisely BECAUSE we ALL paid for the infrastructure and we ALL benefitted from it.<br /><br />It's like protesting against paying for public education just becausee you don't have a kid. Guess what? Without public education, you can't hire an intelligent employee, you have to spend big bucks to train him yourself from scratch. And what happens when that major investment wants to quit working for you? Well, that's why you create employment contracts, to re-establish legal slavery again so that people can't leave you.<br /><br />Ever wonder what those cell phone contracts were really for? Getting us used to the idea of being slaves.<br /><br />But as to your points... Yeah, it might be some work, but if enough people gave a damn about the wonderful things they have and take for granted, not only would doing all that NOT be work, someone would make it so that all that grief wasn't necessary any more.<br /><br />We all tell our kids they can be anything they want, right? We all tell them they can be President if they want, right? Is that going to be just one more lie, like Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, or shall we make an effort to deserve the trust and respect of our children this time?<br /><br />I've made my choice.Jaycee Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17643340016892988682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9183767109566515633.post-88496877440200841212012-05-22T22:31:50.340-04:002012-05-22T22:31:50.340-04:00The only way a man like Buddy Roemer could get ele...The only way a man like Buddy Roemer could get elected President of these United States would be if there were a weeks-long national convention of third-party factions to decide upon a single coalition front for storming Washington. Media coverage of the event would have to be enormous, which would therefore require several "fringe" main-liners (Ron Paul for example) to publicly defect from their own parties in order to attend this convention and lend legitimacy to this forming movement. A declaration from a variety of leaders of the small parties would have to publish some document beforehand explaining how this convention was to be run and what its goals were to be (call it a Moderate's Manifesto, if you will). Furthermore, the convention would have to result in a determined and tightly bound coalition of the parties, who would then as a unit publish a second document outlining exactly what the platform was to be for the next election. <br /><br />Such an event would of course have to be followed by caucuses and debates surrounding the selection of the Coalition Candidate, a spectacle similar to what has happened with the Republicans this year with characters rising and falling and whining and so on. The sheer novelty of the party being both not-Republican and not-Democrat would in theory be helpful; and if the third-party had a few vitriolic spitfires to stir up resentment against the current system, specifically ones who could portray the Republicans and the Democrats as fundamentally identical, there would be enough of a circus for the media to train its eye on the underdogs.<br /><br />If I were bent to study politics, I would consider it my mission in life to make such come about, filling in roles as needed, whether it were vitriol, strong leadership, or a back-seat anonymous organizer that became necessary. <br /><br />I wonder why I'd rather not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9183767109566515633.post-40091376806928706402012-04-08T07:54:48.449-04:002012-04-08T07:54:48.449-04:00Funny!

Hovering over it, though, shows we JUST MISSED getting 4000. Had the measurement allowed one more hour, we would have gotten 4000.<br /><br />But that's still great, because it totally shatters the previous record, and what's more, it's looking like January is going to see a continuation of the new, higher level of traffic! I can't say yet if I'll get that magical 4000, but at the very least we'll have our second-best month.<br /><br />So thank you, everyone, for this gift.Jaycee Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17643340016892988682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9183767109566515633.post-59394484283460457862012-01-04T21:46:28.777-05:002012-01-04T21:46:28.777-05:00BTW, AFAIK my Bacon Number is 3.BTW, AFAIK my Bacon Number is 3.Jaycee Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17643340016892988682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9183767109566515633.post-42284847799645482572011-12-24T10:40:19.735-05:002011-12-24T10:40:19.735-05:00thisis so Lacy you dont even nothisis so Lacy you dont even noAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9183767109566515633.post-64204632142412898252011-10-21T12:56:11.834-04:002011-10-21T12:56:11.834-04:00Forgot to come back here and let you know: I'v...Forgot to come back here and let you know: I've started writing and posting about the journey.

We loved the house and the many stories he would share with us. I never saw or felt anything on my visit, but our friends did feel the "cold" in several rooms. Leyland and I corresponded for a while, but we both got busy and just lost touch. My husband and I stopped by the house today returning to Ft Worth area from visiting Buckhead GA. I so badly wanted to climb the short fence, but if Leyland was having trouble with angry ghosts, I sure didn't want to stir them up so just stood there trying to see beyond the overgrown plants... Leyland gave so much of himself to that piece of history, it's such a shame he was driven from it, or that's what we were told today, by some of the men at the Old Court House... please give Leyland our regards, we will always remember our visit to the "Raven House" also known as the McRaven House...Deberah Averitt (dlaveritt@gmail.com)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9183767109566515633.post-28820340287715710532011-10-15T00:09:30.547-04:002011-10-15T00:09:30.547-04:00Just discovered that Nicholas Marks copied part of...Just discovered that Nicholas Marks copied part of this article to his personal website.

It took a few moments to comprehend what she was telling me. I couldn't believe what she was telling me. It was difficult to understand that an attack was being made on buildings in New York city, in and on America. I finished my conversation with her as soon as I could, left my desk, and called my son, thank you, God for cell phones, who was supposed to be finishing his tour with the Navy. When he answered the phone he said, "I wondered how long it would take you to call me." Of course I wanted to know where he was and if he would be on the Bataan instead of discharging from the Navy. He was calm and reassured me that he would still be discharged as scheduled. Then I called my other son, in the Air National Guard, to see where he was.<br /><br />Recently, I had the priveledge to stand road-side as a funeral procession, lead by motorcycle police and Patriot Guard Riders esscorted a fallen soldier to his final earthly resting place. Tears still fill my eyes thinking of his sacrifice, may we in some way be worthy, and for his mother and family and loved ones. Thank you, men and women of our United States military. God bless you and you families and loved ones; come home soon.<br /><br />Thank you, dear Heavenly Father, for the two men in my life, that love You, their families and their country.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
