Entertain Me!
It seems we have a lot of stuff out there that makes a lot of money for the corporate elite. They say Trump got billions in free advertising, but how much did he make those networks like CNN? It has gotten to the point that it's all about entertainment, and the issues just don't pay the bills any more.
THAT WAS THE LEAD STORY TODAY
My take on News stations, they are like vultures looking for a corpse

Just some random questions
Libertarian Objections
I spent last Sunday watching the libertarian debates for about seven hours. The debates were actually on Saturday, but I taped them. The candidate selection and vice president were chosen Sunday. Gary Johnson and his vice president Bill Weld won.

Quotes
Just some random quotes I have heard and added to others.
Campaign Speech
I have been following Trump, Bernie, and Hillary. The latest Trump ad has Hillary barking like a dog. She actually did this at a campaign rally. It would be fun to be president, if you could actually bring about the positive changes I wish for everyone.
Lines
Can you find the lines that you seek the ones that can guide you though the lands of deceit the ones that are hard to hold when you are all alone hanging by a thread where common sense is your only friend when you try
Dressed
Does honesty and common sense still survive in the crevices and burrows in the concrete jungles where animals are dressed as human where it is the wolves who are kings and the lion is just a flea bitten scabby old cat
No Walls
I think Canadians got it pretty sweet.
Bye Bye Bernie
A parody of the Everly Brothers Bye Bye Love. Hillary seems to have it in the bag and Trump seems to be there to help her.
All In The Family
I was watching Bernie Sanders go on and on how he was expanding Social Security and free health care for all. This is great, if you are one not working for it.
The forgotten generation!
This Poem is about the old generation in Finland,about the People,that faced the war against Soviet Union and the next generation,that is my generation.....we did not start the war,but in the end,they made us Finns the war criminals and they took a lot of Land from us and also we had to pay almost an impossible amount in products,what we was sending with trains to them. We had no choice,as our independence was on stake....12 to 16 hours every day,the food we got with coupons only. We had to put up a completely new industry and thank's to USA,they lend us Money,we was able to do the task. When the last Train went over the border to Soviet Union,we knew,that we had done it and we was a free country and in the same time we had available a heavy industry and we could export and make big profit after that. Finland rose like a Fenix from the ashes and in the next 10-15 years with still hard working People we we made one of the best Countries in the world to live in...we just made it to the top. But little by little,the younger generation,that did not know and did not care about the hardship we older generation had gone trough,just start to destroy the fruits we had done for them and in these days,there are almost nothing left of the brightness from before. All to that,the old generations are now retired and many in old peoples Home,where children have forget them almost completely....many retired people live with a daily porridge and forgotten by them self....all to that, in the old Peoples home,the more weak one are left in alone in the bed for 5-6 days in their own urinate and excrement ....nobody really care about them and one lady show in public how her Father had about 2 inch long nails on his foots.....she also told,that she had change him to different homes several times and in every place,there have been no care. When the Refugees came in,they was giving good food and care,but nobody care about the old People.....they collected Phones,computers and good cloths for the Refugees,but the Old People live with so little social support,that many of them don't have any Phones or for sure no computers....in fact it is so bad situation,that every time I hear about it,I"m in tears. These old People,that faced the almost impossible hardship in the war and soon after that,is again in the end of their life facing similar almost impossible hardship.....many People support heavily the Tomcat refugees,that have run over the border to Finland and when I came up with the opinion in FB,that they should also help and support their own old People in their horrible situation,then they cut me out from their friends list. This is why this Poem realized it self from my Heart and it is telling how I feel about the Fate of the,"Forgotten Generation".
In search of my heart...

The Wall
Trump opted out of the last Republican debate because FOX refused to pay him five million dollars and he can't stand the female host. I don't know if Bernie Sanders can beat Hillary, but I hope so.

------make sure you watch this video of this poem being recited on... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peX4dBEF0Vg Alan Wilson Watts (6 January 1915 – 16 November 1973) was a British-born philosopher, writer, and speaker, best known as an interpreter and populariser of Eastern philosophy for a Western audience. Born in Chislehurst, England, he moved to the United States in 1938 and began Zen training in New York. Pursuing a career, he attended Seabury-Western Theological Seminary, where he received a master's degree in theology. Watts became an Episcopal priest in 1945, then left the ministry in 1950 and moved to California, where he joined the faculty of the American Academy of Asian Studies. © mw world poems
Your Horoscope
I was reading the horoscopes in the newspaper today. Usually I read just Leo, but today I read other ones too. They seem to all have good advice, no matter when you were born.
slaughtered yet again
dedicated to the latest victims in the name of Islam, who claimed the lives of the poor Kenyan students 147 of them. Note: let us not forget, they let all the muslims ones go then killed all the Christians. Exact same way as in the Nairobi Mall in 2013. When will it end? Meantime, on Fox News, there is a discussion of NUKING THE MUSLIM COUNTRY. Google it. I don't want this to happen, nor will I endorse it, but awareness for what it happening is important. Thank you all for your reads.
