Too Much Data

It is apparent in today’s world that we have too much data and information available to the common man.  Everyone is too lazy or too busy to take the time to understand the data so they rely on someone else to interpret it for them.  That is where our problems begin.  The interpreter has an agenda, because everyone has an agenda, usually relevant to what makes them the most money or gives them the biggest ego boost.   So the bias interpreter tells the common man what the data means with his or her spin on the conclusions that are made.  The common man then runs out and parrots this conclusion to all of his friends and relatives as though it was his original interpretation of the data.  With the abundance of data and the abundance of interpreters, you seldom get any valid information from the vast amount of data.

Much time is spent in useless analysis and our productivity goes down and down.  We know the greatest detail about insignificant things, but details about important matters are lost in the quagmire of useless information.  As a result the common man “tweets”  his friends and posts something on Facebook and he is ambivalent to the crashing world around him.

More and more Americans are really clueless as to the situation that exists in the world today because it is beyond their desire or capability to sift through the data and come to a conclusion themselves.   This is a very dangerous situation in terms of the survival of our society.  We are “ripe for the pickens” and there are plenty of evil people trying to pick the fruit of the United States.

A letter to the Editor

Captain Pugwash would approve of this "letter to the editor"!!!  It says what so many of us have been feeling....

Who is really running the Government

We should blame all of the Politicians for not having the capability to control things, but they have very little influence on the day to day annoyances of big government.  The government is run by the bureaucrats that control what the politicians see and are told.  This would be OK if the "crats" were intelligent, non political, individuals.  But of course they aren't  .....  the government was the first employer to change the hiring requirements from the "best qualified for the job" to hire "to fill the quota" qualified or not.  This began in the '60's and has been expanding since.  We now have quotas for race, gender, sexual preferance, size, to name but a few.  There is no quota for "best for the job". 
The unfortunate thing is that these people write all of the laws, set up and enforce all of the regulations, and perpetuate their species.  They have written laws that inept politicians have passed to give themselves premium retirement programs, heathcare exempted from their own buracracy, and a " I can't be fired or laid off" program that is second to none.
The sad part of all of this is that they have spread the disease.  Most of our large corporations now have similar hiring laws as they are afraid of litigation or are required by law to hire base on the same quota system.
It will take several generations of dedicated and bright politicans to fix the system, and I am afraid that we don't have the will or the time to do what needs to be done.

Sustainable Development

Sustainable Development

Here is the “Wikipedia” definition:  Sustainable development (SD) is a pattern of resource use, that aims to meet human needs while preserving the environment so that these needs can be met not only in the present, but also for generations to come (sometimes taught as ELF-Environment, Local people, Future). The term was used by the Brundtland Commission which coined what has become the most often-quoted definition of sustainable development as development that "meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."^[1][2]

Sustainable development ties together concern for the carrying capacity of natural systems with the social challenges facing humanity. As early as the 1970s "sustainability" was employed to describe an economy "in equilibrium with basic ecological support systems."^[3] Ecologists have pointed to The Limits to Growth^[4], and presented the alternative of a "steady state economy"^[5] in order to address environmental concerns.

The field of sustainable development can be conceptually broken into three constituent parts: environmental sustainability, economic sustainability and sociopolitical sustainability.

This sounds harmless enough until we look into how this phrase was coined.  The UN started in the mid – seventies with a group of academics looking at the problem of sustainability of the earth….a noble idea.  This was studied and reports were given at conferences and life plugged along.  Then there comes a conference in Rio in the late 90’s to implement “sustainable development” and out of the conference came a UN Document called “Agenda 21” .  This document was signed by George H W Bush on behalf of the US.  Clinton then created a commission on “sustainable development”, and it exists today.   Over the years the commission has passed all of the principles of  “ sustainable development” down to all levels of government as though this is the goal that we should shoot for….clear down to the local county planning commission.

The three guiding principles of Agenda 21 are:

·       The majority of land should be owned by the government (there is a map of all of the land that the government wants to grab in the USA.)

·       The population of the world should be reduced to 1 Billion people.

·       Wealth should be redistributed from the rich to the poor.

I am not making this up folks!!!!!!!

We have signed up for this and the bureaucrats and the politicians are making it happen.  Think about what has gone on in the last 15 years.

Bill Clinton did an end run on congress and designated many places in the US as National Monuments or Wilderness areas.

Europe, Japan, China, USA and most of the Western world have a big birth control program to limit population growth.

And we have Obummer and his redistribution of wealth programs..

This is not the illuminati, this is real!!! It is a plan generated by academics and third world politicians to remove our freedoms.

Before you think I have been drinking from the conspiracy bottle of tequila, I suggest that you google “Agenda 21” and watch some of the video and read some of the documentation.

Get the Republican candidates to repeal our signature to the “Agenda 21” treaty.

Catch 22-Our judicial System is broken

Catch 22

Our country’s legal system is broken.  We have way too many laws and way too many lawyers.  The nanny-state mentality is out of hand.  We all violate laws everyday and don’t know it until we get busted.

The Catch 22 part of the scenario is that laws are made by politicians, most politicians are lawyers.  It is a self serving system to provide jobs for lawyers.  The more laws we have the greater need for lawyers.  Politicians are lawyers so making laws becomes a jobs program.

The size of the government is directly proportional to the number of laws that are on the books.  Therefore not only do we provide a jobs program for lawyers, we also provide a jobs program for bureaucrats. 

What is the solution?  The only plausible solution is to pass a “Law limitation” amendment to the federal and every state constitution.  This simple amendment would say that ;”The maximum number of laws allowed is XXXXXXXXX.”  This would force the repeal of many antiquated and frivolous laws.  But the great thing about this amendment is that it would limit the size of government.

Find a politician that will support this amendment and you have found a winner!

What do we do with them?

Our economy is evolving to an information economy.  Even the lower level data entry type jobs require some learned skills.  There are fewer and fewer "common labor" type jobs.  This will get much worse as the world become tied closer economically. Places like China will always be able to provide labor at a cheaper cost the we in the USA.
So what do we do with the increasing percentage of people that are not capable or not willing to become educated to be productive in American Society.  In China they put them in the Army where they can be controlled and required to do mundane jobs like guard ATM Machine.  In Europe they let them run around and loot stores, not a very productive thing to be doing.  Roosevelt had it much easier, he formed the Civilian Conservation Corp and they built parks and roads.  Red Rocks Park west of Denver was a product of the CCC. 
I think Roosevelt had a good idea.  Lets require that all able bodied men and women be required to perform a service for the government if they want to collect unemployment insurance after 90 days.  They could build parks, check on senior citizens, pick up trash, do simple clerical jobs, wash the government cars, and I'm sure we could think of a lot longer list.
If they refuse to work stop all payments of government subsidies.  Fortunately in America we the people have guns and I'm sure that if they riot and loot, it will be much different than in Europe.

Obama is only a symbol of the Problem

The following is a quote that is making the e-mail rounds. It is attributed to a Czech Republic editorial.  It really hits the nail on the head......

"The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting an inexperienced man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama Presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their President. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their President."
