The Michael Jackson Movie 'This Is It'.

I went and saw this movie and glad I did.  If he had lived these concerts would have been remembered for decades.  One hell of a production and the hard work would have paid.  I have come to the conclusion that he is and will be for many many years to be the ultimate entertainer.  What talent.  What a waste to be gone so young.  And yes 50 is young.

Ireland the Emerald Isle

Have you ever been to Ireland?  For those that are of Irish descent but have never set foot on her should during their life visit the emerald isle.  Ireland is a land that is beautiful but holds on to a violent and troubling past.  My visit to Ireland was mared by being ill with the flu but only let it slow me down a bit when I was there.  My family is somehow, supposedly related to the great Irish leader Michael Collins.  How this maybe I haven't figured it out but if we are related I believe it is more directly through his father.  So of course while in Ireland I did some sighseeing and maganged to get around.  Though not as much as I would have liked.  I did to a lot of running around in Dublin.  Trinity College was fun and is where the "Book of Kells" is located and they are beautiful.  One also has to check out the pubs while there.  Went to a few museums and did the usual sort of things any tourist would do.  Went to see Tara even though it was closed.  I do know that one day I will have to go back to finish seeing Ireland.

The State of This Country.

If I say that when Clinton left office we were in a good position as a nation as a whole, some people get very upset. It is not a fact though? The man was in office for 8 years with having to deal with a Congress that was Republican majority and then Democrat majority. Did we not finish those 8 years in an economy that was stable? Did we not finish those 8 years better off? Both parties have contributed to the debt but the Republicans out spend by far. So after Clinton things were not that bad. Now let’s get to G W Bush. Our deficit after he left office had gone up 100%. When Bush left office he should have left this country either in the same state, or made an improvement. Did he do that? If you answer yes I would ask, what you have been smoking. Think about it. If I took over a corporation that wasn’t doing too bad, was holding its own but ran it into bankruptcy did I do a good job?


Now with Obama in office, those on the right just cannot let it rest that things are still bad. Hello people! How long has he been in office? We did not get into this mess overnight. Our current President has only been in office for about 10 months. Do you think it fair to lay so much on his shoulders? Obama has a tough road ahead of him. The people of this country have a very rough road to travel. What bothers me is that some just stand around and point fingers. I ask did you demonstrate or complain while Bush was in office. Did you do nothing as this country went down the preverbal toilet?

If the people of this country cannot get along, then we have no business expecting our leaders to do the same. We need to take care of us, this nation. While we fight and point fingers at each other do we accomplish anything? Healthcare has been a major issue for decades. We all know this, but can’t even talk about finding solutions without some resorting to uncivilized behavior.

When it comes to concerns about what is best for us and this country do your own research, I mean really do your research. Don't take Rush Limbaugh’s word for it. Don’t take a politicians word for it. Don't sit down, watch Fox news and believe every word they say. Check it out. Be better informed. Above all else, remember what works for me may not work for you but do your homework. Respect people's differences and understand that disagreeing is okay. That with determination, respect, and knowledge people can overcome many obstacles to make life better for everyone.

Blindly Following and the Ridicule of Those That Disagree.

This for me has always been a touchy subject.  Along with religion these topics or issues usually get me going.  Many that have know me for years, know that at one time I was a Republican.  I usually tell people I wized up and left.  This came after being involved in fighting a Democrat Bill to make a million acres of California desert into wilderness.  I met many Dems that didn't know what they were talking about, couldn't answer a simple question on what constitutes "wilderness".  Even found Repubs that didn't know squat about the subject.  Most knew nothing about the desert, let alone actually been into the desert.  They saw it from their car as they drove to Vegas.  So you ask what turned you off then to the Republican party?  To make a simple and short statement, "our way is the only way".  If you think for yourself and don't always tow the party line there is something wrong with you.  At the time that this was going on with the Bill, it was election time.  I had met the Republican that was running and did not like him.  Did some background research on him and liked him even less.  I told fellow party members that I would not vote for this man.  By saying this you would have thought I had committed a 'capital' offense.  I was called many names and thought this is stupid.  So I left the Republican party.  Since becoming a Democrat I have found this to be only somewhat true within the party.  The ones that I find that are overly adament about their views being correct are former Republicans, for the most part. 

So this is how I feel.  I have a right to my opinion just like you.  If I can respect your opinion even though I disagree with you, you should do the same for me.  Neither one of us is wrong, it's just that we do not agree.  So get over it.  What I feel will work for me and my country may be different than what you feel is right.  If you are adamnt about this and have thought about what is at stake but are going in a different direction than me, then so be it.  What gets me is that some don't even think about what is a stake.  They don't think about how this will affect their neighbors.  Some don't think about it at all but just go with the flow.  Bruce Springsteen once said, "blind faith in your leaders will get you killed".  I know he was talking about war but from a different angle it could mean a death to our way of life.  Do not go blindly running after some views of a politician because he is with the party that you belong too.  Some oppose because that is what they feel is expected.  I'm a Republican I am not going to agree with a Democrat even if it is right.  Isn't it then wrong not to stick up for what you believe is right regardless of what others will think.  It's not always pleasant, I know that first hand.  I did not vote for the Republican because I did not agree with him on issues and felt that he would never back our side in defeating the wilderness bill.  When he became Governor he did not help our cause.  I did what I felt was right. 

 

Roman Polanski needs to face his responsibility and come back to US.

What is almost as sick are these idiots saying to free him? Some of them have children of their own. For those in the film business (not all feel this way) shame on you for sticking up for this guy and turning the other cheek. If he were a friend of mine I would simply say "you did a terrible thing it is time to take care of this". Not go run and hide and shirk your responsibilities.

Yes, Polanski has had some very rough and sad times in his life. He is a holocaust survivor and then there was the murder of his beautiful, pregnant wife Sharon Tate by the Mansion Family creeps. Many others have led terrible lives but did not rape a 13 year old child. No one is above the law.

For those that think we should set him free. Where the hell do you people come from and where do you get the audacity to think he should walk free.
