Each day, I wake up looking for you …
… never to see again.
Each night, I sleep thinking of you …
… never to see again.
Each activity I do I wish for you …
… never to see again.
Ringing in my ears, your last words …
… “when will it be over”.
My response is still ever true …
… “soon my love, soon”.
All to true …
… I’ll see you “soon”.

For some reason, this show really clicked with me. And, apparently with others.

Crowdsourcing the news

I found this interesting because: (1) British cops gone rogue AND (2) a new citizen journalistic meme is defined.
Wonder where this will take us?

The Last Bayonet Charge in Vietnam
A Veterans Day Retrospective on Our Veterans Today Senior Editor and a Marine – Gordon Duff
Intro by… Jim W. Dean
*** begin quote ***
In Vietnam, as with Afghanistan, we sent an army to a hopeless war led by the most corrupt leadership in America’s history.
In Vietnam, a generation of Americans was systematically destroyed, with the best and brightest of the generation “doing time” in Vietnam, combat units, while “bottom feeders” sat in Saigon and DaNang.
Those shirkers an “no accounts” have given us the America we have today, broke, addicted to propaganda and fear, obsessed with safety, a generation ducking responsibility and leadership, borrowing from tomorrow to steal today.
The number of members of congress who ducked Vietnam through imaginary illness, special arrangements for “safe” National Guard units or simply deferment after deferment created a list of “chickenhawks” that became a national shame.
Those that ducked service in Vietnam were the first to push for war after war for the children of those who fought.
Who would have imagined this or have believed they could have gotten away with it?
*** end quote ***
The day after Veterans’ Day, and all the problems remain. And, the “chickenhawks” are trying to drum up a war with Iran.
Vote Ron Paul!

I’m going to shun Penn State today. If its game today is on the tube — and I would have watched it — then I’ll just ignore it. Maybe if their ratings go down, even if just by one person, then they will get the message. Their conduct was deplorable. I don’t know what others will do, this is my small gesture.
p.s. The Penn State game is on ESPN at Noon. I suggest IGNORING it.

Sunstone satnav: How Vikings used mysterious crystal to guide them to America
Norse warriors located sun through clouds with Iceland spar crystal
By SIMON TOMLINSON
Last updated at 12:44 PM on 2nd November 2011
*** begin quote ***
Ancient legends of Viking mariners using mysterious sunstones to reveal the position of the sun on a cloudy day may well be true, according to a new study.
Before the invention of the compass, Norse adventurers travelled thousands of kilometres across the oceans toward Greenland and most likely as far as North America centuries ahead of Christopher Columbus.
*** end quote ***
Fascinating stuff. And, that the knowledge and wisdom was lost for centuries.
Why?
That’s even the better story.
And, what else have we lost?
Also, could this “trick” be useful today? It’s not like no gets lost.
How else can we use it? How did these “primitives” explain it to themselves and what does that tell us?

I RECEIVED TWO MESSAGES TODAY THANKING ME FOR MY SERVICE
Here’s my reaction.
# # # # #
Thanks, but there are others far more worthy than I to receive such a message. All I did was “defend” Maryland. Unfortunately, the US’s political leadership hasn’t measured up to the worth of the girls and boys who served. Argh! That’s why I’m for Ron “bring the troops home” Paul. Ten years in AfPak, two sessions in the sandbox, and open ended wars in six countries in Africa only highlights the absurdity of bases in Korea, Japan, and Germany. Time for a return to a good old American tradition of MYOB. Yeah, I know, grumpy fat old white guy injineer. But, “old soldiers” see things a lot more clearly in their dotage. That’s why we shouldn’t be allowing non-vets “chicken hawks” to send those young girls and boys out to fight. Not that vets are any smarter, braver, or stronger. Just that they understand what the price is. That’s what Vet’s Day is all about. Understanding the true price.

“A consortium of eighty companies and developers have developed the StreetScooter, a modular electric vehicle developed in a year using open-source methodologies. With a top speed of 74mph and an 80-mile range, the vehicle is expected to cost $7000 and be available in Germany in 2013.”

And, apparently no Gooferment money involved?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armistice_Day
Armistice Day (also known as Remembrance Day) is on 11 November and commemorates the armistice signed between the Allies of World War I and Germany at Compiègne, France, for the cessation of hostilities on the Western Front of World War I, which took effect at eleven o’clock in the morning—the “eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month” of 1918.

“60 million people who died in the war.”
Mister Wilson, who ran for President on a “peace platform”, when the country was very isolationist, almost immediately took us to war. The Lusitania, the causus beli, we know know, was carrying munitions in violation of the accepted standards of neutrality.
60 million!
And, it set us on the path to the American Empire.
The entrance of America into Europe’s War balance the sides. The Armistice was the toot cause of WW2 which killed another generation of American men.
And, we’ve never been able to get off that path. Ten years in AfPak? Policeman to Africa. We’re broke.
I won’t get into politics on the graves of Americans, who were duped into dying for the Empire.
I’ll just pray for them and the next generation who will fight in someone else’s war.
