Dear readers, family and friends,
In September of 2011, this blog became reality as my knowledge and understanding of the scope of ills facing near every American at some point and some level. Some of the posts are informative, and some are funny and I'm afraid I can't help that....if I find something that's not offensive and funny...I share it, even if it's a story of myself.
I still have about a year until I will take the blog mainstream....would do it now, but would be incredibly difficult to conduct an interview of any sort, while I am over here deployed..which brings me, temporarily to another topic. I will be heading back to the States here in a while ( not long ) and there will be a disruption in the relative consistency of my posting. The break may be as short as 3-5 days....and I am keeping my fingers crossed.
This is my 100th post on this, my only blog. I could tell you a few things that I know so far....such as 1) I will be running as an Independent, but with understanding of both Major parties views..because oddly enough, I agree with some Democratic ideas, and identify with some Republican ideas. Some ideas are strictly mine....such as thus far having written 14 emails to my Senators from Washington state...either agreeing with their vote...or disagreeing and asking them why in the heck are we still sending Pakistan millions of dollars, while 600-800k Americans are homeless..THIS YEAR. As of yet, I have received somewhat 'canned' responses to my emails in which I agree, and long drawn out emails when they try to explain their position on votes with which I don't agree....but I have received NO EMAILS in response to the somewhat tougher questions. I asked them if they will garner enough votes to pass the 'Close all tax loopholes for Big Oil' or will just enough Senators vote 'nay' to ensure that they will still collect big money from big oil before their next election. I also told them that the percentage of millionaires to 'average Americans' was around 1%, and that the percentage of millionaires in Congress was close to 50%...further asking..." Is it possible for a Congress that is near 50% millionaires truly represent ALL Americans"? As of this writing, I have not received an email back regarding these tough questions.....I'm sure tougher for them, than for us.
My 100th post and not one iota of my vision has waned....and as I dig deeper to research or find answers, I am learning. I actually looked through the course curriculum's at Yale and Harvard, and while they, and many high schools have a course titled ' Political Science ' , neither school offered a class titled ' How to be President '. Additionally, lawyers are book trained on what not to do and why....well I learned morals from my family, and if I'm given a cigar...I'm going to smoke it. My apologies for dredging up Mr. Clinton's indiscretion.
For my 100th post...I want to thank you, for reading, correcting and initiating good dialogue. Thank you much and here's looking forward to the next 100...ad infinitum. and beyond....oh wait...infinitum is infinity! All good!
