....but as with valid doctorates, and other relevant graduate degrees, as with those of our Ivy Leaguer POTUS Trump, who's counting?..... But I digress.... MORE DIRTY LITTLE SECRETS.... It would seem that thousands of Americans are loosing their jobs and income, thanks to the pander demic. But au contraire, dear lemmings without pensions. Compare the current fate of employees in the dreaded private sector, with those in do little, paper pushing, can't be fired, taxpayer funded, make work positions. The former face a bureaucratic Alpentraum of phone menus, crashed systems and week delays, all at the hands of the latter. But as a government employee, with a defined pension (what's that?), it's one more excuse not to turn up at the jobsite, except that, as with the former, the taxpayer pumped paychecks magically still keep on coming. No need to face the nightmare of trying to apply for government job loss benefits, as for folks with REAL WORK.. Who are these folks? Teachers (not in private or denominational schools), politicians, office staff, municipal "workers", and so on. Almost exclusively of what political persuasion, ---well, just guess? Their labor lobby organizations, with names like the Teachers' Unions, or Federal/Municipal/State Employees' Unions, are among the biggest financial contributors to Democrat political campaigns. Can't make this stuff up, my dear poor latter day proletarians.

Good article here by the inimitable Glenn Greenwald on the pervasiveness of tribal impulse in society - and the very real harms that stem outwards as a result. We counteract this, of course, by operating off a solid base of first principles - which apply equally to those we dislike as those we like.

EXACTLY 10 Years Ago - 2011- 1/2 Way Through The U.S. Involvement

Currently, on the boob tube they put on all the superman epics with Christopher Reeves and there are many other comic heroes such as Iron man, Capt America, Incredible hulk Batman etc.
We all know the basic theme of a mysterious mild manner type of person who turns into a super hero to save the day. Of course there is always romance and a damsel in distress.
There is always a bad guy to upset the day with a diabolical plan for his or her own gain.

Yet, looking at all the fantasy of such, it makes one ponder that we are always seeking a Hero or Heroine
to rescue the victim to vanquish the bad guy. Much like our military boys and girls, police force, fire rescue, and medics on the scene and those we deem protectors.
When it comes to all those services we sometimes take for granted and the people we call friends, how we can look upon them as our heroes to come to our aid or rescue.
There also comes a time to see the hero within the reflection pool we often tend to disregard because we sometimes do not see ourselves as heroes.

In the real world that seems to be getting worse by the hour I think at times we put too much dependence upon someone outside of ourselves to bail us out or to play the role of the hero in our lives. A type of role model to pattern by. When looking for a partner here or any social site we all secretly are looking for that hero to feed us something to believe in and give us courage to fight and love another day. When we see those who seemingly have a strong personality and confidence they are sometimes who we wish to become.
It would be such a better world if we all could be heroes to each other instead of seeing the sickness
and the ugliness that so many seem to convey with killing and shooting people down.

Change comes from within each of us and if we don't like what we see around us we must become the hero within that can make a change.
Its a hard task indeed. Nobody is asking to throw on a cape to leap tall buildings or turn big and green and tear up the town though at times in our anger we wish we could.
We often seek truth and justice from everyone but it starts looking within.
When we see our Dr's. or surgeons if they are successful in saving lives they are considered heroes and it takes humility to shine through.

Everyone who blogs or writes a poem here may be considered doing a heroic deed for a message to someone that may read at the right time that could be the one thought that could save a life from suicide.
Or to offer a new idea that could launch someone into a new career or lifestyle. Or to just cheer up someone who may be down on their luck.
In a world gone crazy today, we need many heroes and healers if we want to have a future.

No doubt, there may be a few here we could call a hero and a friend but we won't know that unless we tell them. We need to consider our values and ideals for not all the money in the world or material things is going to matter. We came into this world with nothing we are going to leave it with nothing. The question is how do we want to be remembered a villain or a hero? Like the song, "I need a hero"- Bonnie Tyler

My middle daughter got married last summer after 7 years and two kids together and I want to share my elation on the progress of their beautiful union.

I dedicated this letter for them and my daughter read it with tears in her eyes after they were well settled. Although they lived very happily after deciding to fulfill one of the sacrament, I just want to share this piece of my mind for whatever it's worth..


Marriage is the uniting force between two souls, heart, body and mind to be one. It solidifies togetherness. A complete union and synchronicity of love for two persons who has become one. It is the culmination of a very long thought and perceived responsibility to conduct everything in life for the benefit and glory of two people. A seal that promotes sacred respect, love and happiness for both. While it is not going to guarantee any non commission of wrongs on either side, it does foster a deeper way to understand situation that might be so challenging and difficult. It breeds so much strength for the protection of the union that just by wearing the symbol of itself which is the ring, it creates a formidable impression about the sacredness of the unity in itself.

Anyone who witnesses the worn seal and symbol would otherwise position themselves to not encroach and therefore respect that unity by not undermining in anyway shape and form of that marriage.

Marriage, like any relationship requires a great deal of labor specially for its protection on all harmful forces around. Whether we like it or not, there will always be dark storms that will be weathered. There is always going to be dark forces that will undermine it. There will always be negative froces that will surround it. Specially jealousy and ego. My daughter Karen, in her speech, during the wedding touched my heart so deeply. and said: "Don't invite ego into the marriage ." What a profound advise. What a very strong and deep meaning it creates. More often than not, it is indeed, this calculating feeling of being so egotistic that ruins everything. Be on guard always, that all you do for the both of you and for your happiness is to stay humble and be respectful. Learning always also make it easier to position yourselves on things that you both will love. Be always a student in life. Be always considerate to the both of you and most of all, don't cease being a student of life. It will sustain you on knowing what is best and it will guide you to create a better union and better everyday performance of your relationship to one another. This is a song and dance you will do to each other. Make it sweet and joyful. Most of all be humble. There is nothing better than to recognize all our flaws and imperfections and be thankful that you have the ability to learn.

Marriage is a light that guides to achieve a very loving and very peaceful togetherness. A shield of great possession of being one. Always, you are now one. One body, one heart, one beat, one being and most of all, one soul. n the alert to learn and to understand so that the longer you are together, the easier it will be for anything that you will do.

A vessel of exuberance. Of gratification and pleasure. Of permanence. Of a very long if not forever unity. It is an act of goodness, to make this world a better p[lace. While each and everyone of us can do it, even in the absence of marriage, yet its force and effect is far greater by two people doing it together in a very structured and determined ways.

MIND BOGGLING

TikTok must be the equivalent of "Monkey-see Monkey-do" on steroids. It's amazing to see people getting hurt when they follow some dangerous stunts of videos that others have uploaded.
I found a new one in the news today... Cooking chicken in cough medicine NyQuil.

I guess the list for Darwin Awards doesn't have much wait these days.

I was behind a pickup truck in stop & go traffic and the vehicle only had one working brake light. I got into the adjacent lane on the next red light and saw the driver had his window rolled down. I rolled mine down to ask "Do you drive a lot?"
His response was that he already knew his brake lights were broken and I added isn't it worth the $10 so you don't get pulled over for faulty equipment?
He didn't want to hear that, but said... "Yeah. I'll get to it."

What an inconvenience. Change out a light bulb. Usually, it's a warning, but it's a reason for police to pull you over and check you out.

I used to say "Do you know how much a ticket for a broken tail light is?" Rarely did they know and I would add, Last I heard it's $75 and new bulbs are around $10.

Once warned a 'happy Spanish woman' who was playing music, singing and all the windows were down. Her brake lights didn't work. I told her. She was nonchalantly surprised and it didn't seem to 'soak in' so... I added, if someone crashes into the back of her car and the police see you didn't have brake lights, there is a chance she could be charged with the accident. If it's a bad accident, chances are they will take both of you to the same hospital. The light in her head came on!


I often have logical conversations with my ex-wife as we talk about the high percentage of bad drivers. I mentioned the guy in the pickup truck already knew his lights were broken.
Her comment to me was to stop being a good Samaritan. People are 'on the edge' and you never know when someone will take helpful advice the wrong way.

She's right...
