Reinke Faces Life

You don’t? TOO BAD!

This morning 07 July at 0715 edst on Route 295 South milepost 43 … …

… … a silver olds (I can check the rear of the car he was so close) sg 24 722 … …

… … up my ass at leisurely 70 (Your serf speed limit is 65) … …

… … I was slowly passing lots of traffic otherwise I’d have been cruise controlling in the right lane … …

… … tailgating the poor peon in his way (me!) … …

… … I moved over when it was safe maybe a quarter mile tops … …

… … your bozo blew by with a dirty look and maybe a Hawaiian finger greeting … …

… … never left the left lane (Do you teach them to do that, or is that a qualification for working for the state of nujerzee!?) … …

… … as stomped on it to jump to tailgating the next poor slob who was less than 10 car lengths in front!!!!!

Any way I am sure that he was hurrying to getaway from I assume trenton to protect and serve me.

Arghhh!

Arghhhhhhh!

P.S.: Dear reader, I don’t write these every day. Just when I ARRIVE early for work, particularly agitated aggravated and have to wait for my employer workstation to get online.

P.P.S.: This one really torqued me off. I may even call the gripe line for state cars in Trenton when I calm down!

Free Minds TV July 4, 2008 (EP 68)

At the 22 minute mark of this video, FreeMindsTV tackles the Social Security Scam.

Forced “saving”!

Younger workers are screwed.

# – # – #

They nail a few points but overlook many of the flaws and falsehoods of the “plan”.

* It’s racist. It’s sexist. It transfers money from poor minority men to rich white women.

* It’s inter generational socialism.

* It’s unfair to people who die young; cheats their estate of all their savings.

* Ties into cigarettes and the morality around that. Politicians can’t get us to quit smoking because of its impact on tax collections and life span. If we seriously quit smoking, social security would go broke faster!

* It has been changed by politicians to our determent over time — from voluntary non-taxable to involuntary taxable! What Congress bestows; can and will be changed.

* An American educated economist in the 70s successfully moved Chile from socialistic social security just like here to private system without government control. Much to the people’s benefit. In a country where 70% of the people were illiterate. Amazing how people can understand and manage their own money.

* It has a negative rate of return. Not counting inflation, I’ve seen studies that assumed constant value of the dollar, and estimate the ROI of SocSec at between a negative one and two percent. Figure in inflation and it’s a joke.

* It ties into the inflation rate in several ways. Social Security takes your ‘contribution’ wink wink in more valuable dollars now and pays you back in less valuable dollars later. Then you get to spend your social security check on much more expensive stuff. Since inflation is not uniform across products.

* It give the politicians yet another slush fund. And, employs all those relatives and voters.

* It distracts the tax payer from the real issue — liberty!

Argh!

Why Shakir Can’t Read
By Helen Cadogan

*** begin quote ***

All across America, schools are confronted with Shakirs who either do not show up for school or who attend school but hang out in the hallways, bathrooms, and other hideaways. Even in well disciplined schools, there are Shakirs who go to class and put their heads on the desk. They refuse to work; the same way, their parents refuse to attend parent-teacher meetings. They sleep, they disrupt, curse, fight, and do no work. Many of those who do work, do it indifferently; they go through the motions expecting to achieve high marks for minimal effort. Moreover, even when these Shakirs have done no work at all, they expect to graduate.

*** end quote ***

But, I am robbed to pay for this nonsense?

Welfare is the root of this evil. And, the Gooferment loves welfare. It empowers Gooferment on so many levels: willing voters who vote for more dole; more dole requires more state workers; and of course there are contracts to give out as political plums.

Argh!

Recent Iowa trip was a hoot. It gave me enough to blog about for eons.

Let’s take the flight home on Continental’s ExpressJet service from Omaha NE to EWR.

First, departure time was changed from 1115 local to 1150 local. Never an explanation. I had printed boardign passes the night prior that say 1115. No one EVER mentions a word about that.

OK, we board. And, push from the gate.

We get out on the taxiway, and a bad news announcement.

(Argh, note to self and all travelers, carry a recorder to capture the announcements!)

Something like, EWR just closed due to THUNDERSTORMS. We have no gate. Get out the way. We will be sitting for an hour out somewhere quiet. No gate; not worth going back and unloading and reloading.

They let us use “electronic devices”. Cell phones galore. They fed us. Yuck, (We carry our own always, no big deal.)

An hour later, still closed. 45 minutes more, not worth going back and unloading and reloading.

Take off. BUT, warned that we will have some loops to allow EWR traffic to clear. Argh!

A leisurely flight, air time was supposed to be under three hours. It was closer to four.

Arrive EWR some four hours after schedule.

Arrive a EWR. Luggage comes out somewhere. (Not where we were told.)

Our limo driver says “What thunderstorms?”

Who do you believe?

Argh!

American Becky Hammon Called ‘Traitor’ for Representing Russia at the Olympics
Posted Jun 15th 2008 9:55AM by Michael David Smith
Filed under: Women’s Sports, USA

*** begin quote ***

Becky Hammon is an American who plays for the WNBA’s San Antonio Silver Stars. She’s also going to play in the Olympics in Beijing — but not for Team USA.

Instead, Hammon will play for Russia’s Olympic basketball team. Hammon has no Russian ancestry, but she has played professionally in Russia, and she became a Russian citizen to aid her basketball career. In the eyes of the International Olympic Committee, that’s good enough for her to play for Russia.

That doesn’t sit well with some in this country. During a CNN interview, Team USA women’s basketball coach Anne Donovan referred to Hammon as a “traitor.” Similar sentiments were expressed today on ESPN’s Outside the Lines.

*** end quote ***

WHO CARES!

It’s not like the Olympics means anything.

Except maybe to keep the illusion of ‘country’ going.

The Weapon of Rape
By NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF
Op-Ed Columnist
Published: June 15, 2008

*** begin quote ***

… my most indelible memory from my most recent visit, last year, came as I was interviewing a young woman who had been gang-raped.

I had taken her aside to protect her privacy, but a large group of women suddenly approached. I tried to shoo them away, and then the women explained that they had all been gang-raped and had decided that despite the stigma and risk of reprisal, they would all tell their stories.

So let’s hope that this week the world’s leaders and diplomats stop offering excuses for paralysis and begin emulating the courageous outspokenness of those Congolese women.

*** end quote ***

And ‘world leaders’ debate global warming’, and one half the world’s population is targeted by this ‘strategy’. Maybe not today, right now, but if it’s ever deemed ‘acceptable’, it’s a gun aimed at every woman.

Another great example of man’s inhumanity to man.

Argh.

This slapstick doesn’t come cheap. The TSA, which annually eats about $6 billion of our taxes, has gobbled $36 billion since it began operations in 2002. That means we’ve spent $1,800,000 to keep each of those 20,000 terrorists off our flights – not counting the Department of Homeland Security’s billions. Heck, let’s disband the TSA and pay off Al Qaeda instead. Six billion divided among 20,000 terrorists gives every man $300,000 per year. Tell me they’d rather live in caves than retire to some Mediterranean mansion on our money.

Google is allowing the blogosphere to be polluted with trash scrapper sites like this. I’ve run into a bundle in doing Jasper Jottings. Every college in the world is represented with this trash.

They’ve ever got a way of turning off the ‘flag this site’ feature. (Or did Google eliminate it?) I complained to Google and got a form letter back.

Argh!

FROM MY FRIEND “TIMIDSOULSOLESUPPORT”
(He’s the sole support of his family and can’t afford controversy.)

*****begin quote*****
I don’t want to be this political on my Blog, but you might have use for it.

Check out this quote:

“Government programs also breed highly destructive dependence. How destructive? Well, I once took care of an alcoholic patient who bragged that his government disability checks allowed him to purchase better quality whiskey than he could afford to buy when he wasn’t considered disabled because of his alcoholism. The government thus subsidized his alcoholism.”

From this website http://www.haciendapub.com/article49.html

You can credit me anonymously. Maybe you can give me a cool pseudonym too like your buddy Luddite
*****end quote*****

Now don’t pick on my friend LUDDITE, it’s hard work staying so far behind the technology curve while earning his daily bread as a consultant on “technology project management”. He reviews projects and tells them to hang back from the ‘bleeding edge’. :-)

And when did I become the annointer of ‘kool knickknames’?

Now I’m the dumping ground for all controversy?

Oh well, it’s a well touted ‘fact’ that, in the First American Revolution, only that less than a third favored the Brits, less than a third favored the rebels, and solid third wanted to just be left alone. Fewer than 10% actually fought.

So I guess when the Third American Revolution comes, I’ll have to do the shoot for both of them — LUDDITE and TIMIDSOULSOLESUPPORT. And the seven others too timid to take on the gangs in gooferment.

What was that Churchill quote?

“If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.” —Winston Churchill

Yes, “Third”. The War of Northern Aggression was the Second. The right of the people to peacefully withdraw was defeated on the field of battle. And, that was the end of the American Experiment. The end of the Republic. It just spun along like a out of control comet. Until it winds us up here.

Where the gooferment allows drunks to buy a better brand of booze. And that’s a controversial idea.

Figure out all your taxes, if you can, fellow slaves, so you’ll know just how much a slave you are. It feels like 100% to me.

Wonder if that’s too controversial?

Don’t Buy Political Bulbs
by John R. Lott, Jr.

*** begin quote ***

No matter how well-meaning, politicians frequently fail to understand all the consequences of their laws. Real world costs, the costs and benefits faced by those who will actually have to live with the regulations, often elude those who pass these rules. Yet, even by those depressing standards, problems with the mandated that people will soon be forced to use stand out.

*** end quote ***

And,.

And you want the gooferment to solve YOUR problems.

Now who’s the ‘dim bulb’?
