Greetings to all who continue to support me in my babbling and allowing me to vent my frustrations regarding the self-destructive suicidal path man and womankind have chosen and appear to be steadfast. Now, as far as the change my mind part. I posted a while back about who among this group,scientists,politicians,clergy,terrorist and radical extremists,big business, the ignorant masses,the apathetic masses,news media, entertainment media, causes the most damage to our world today and the future of our existence? At that time i was positive it was scientists. (for my reasoning and others who commented go to Scientist lack common sense in cosmic painter) Well now i am sure its news media! I had taken a trip and a few days away from all news. Now, that sounds easy, but i read two papers a day and watch roughly 10 hours of news on CNN, FOX, HN, BBC World report, and NSNBC so a clean break for almost 1 week wasn't easy. Well, upon returning i tuned to Those networks to get caught up on the "Real Important" matters in life. This is what the reporters and anchors and producers collectively believe are the issues that people want to see(remember its all about ratings and ultimately revenue) O.J. Simpson every station every other minute numero uno! second, Britney Spears doing this or that,Some attention starved kid yelling "don't teaser me bro" to cop and security trying to remove him from a John Kerry speech. Two disgusting scenes played over and over. One of a drunken buffoon who tried to break into girlfriends house by using Santa's' private entrance. He got stuck and had to be removed by firemen. She proceeds to bounce beer bottles off his face and yell some unknown language of profanities at him while police arrest the whole lot of them. A mother of a nine year old in court explaining why she not only didn't prevent her daughter from beating up another 9 yr old, but was filmed taking her back pack off so she would not be weighed down. I ain't hav'n no kid a mine fight wit a back pack on hello! What really got me was the last hope for unbiased true grit reporting and my Idol Anderson Cooper even sold out!!!! I guess from now on ill just watch entertainment tonight and get everything needed to know on one station!

Home ownership has all ways been the a sign that you are now living the "American Dream". Those days are now gone and the Dream has morphed into a Nightmare. Its estimated 2.5 million owners living the Dream will be awakened only to realize their now facing that nightmare. What i find surprising is that the "writing on the wall" was completely ignored by everyone. The builders that built as if there would be infinite number of buyers. The lenders, with their sub-prime and teaser traps, who believed that those practices were ethical, acceptable and would never come back to bite them. The realtor/brokers that turned a blind eye on everything to guarantee commission(they have assumed a new scum level, they have over taken used car salespeople. Congratulations!)The Fed Gov............FHA........HUD.............What needs to be said here? Congress is "conspiring" to pass a bill or two and the Fed will most likely lower the Prime in an attempt to slow the blood loss. And yes, even the buyers must assume a portion. They had visions dollars dancing in their head. Remember the saying in Latin- En caveat emture(Let the buyer beware!).The only bright side of all this is that prices for homes are plummeting and will continue to fall for another year at least when once again people can realize the "American Dream"

There is a book written by an Author whose name i cant recall, it illuminates a lesson that would benefit us all. If only we lived our lives by the rules we're taught during our fours and fives. The title of the book aptly says it all....! "Everything i learned in kindergarten, is all i need to know." Hang your jacket up when you arrive, greet everyone with hello and a smile, don't take whats not yours and share everything. No fighting! Clean up after yourself and when you take something out, put it back. Dance, sing, and Learn something everyday, play a few games and Work on a project with enthusiasm and take interest in your friends projects. All ways have cookies and milk in the afternoon, then take a nap. Treat all your fellow class mates with respect regardless of their sex, race or economic back ground. And most importantly when going out into the dangerous world use the buddy system and hold hands when crossing the street.

Changes are a part of life, they can be good or bad, they're Controlled and uncontrollable or controllable and uncontrolled, predictable and unpredictable. Anyway you look at it changes are going to take place. Why, if we know that in changing something we can alter the outcome of something, Do we not make the right choices in changes? If you eat less and exercise more you will loose weight and be healthy. Fact! Yet the percentage of people who engage in exercise(not activities ex-changed for exercise)has actually gone down. Which of course explains for the skyrocketing Obesity problem. If you complete high school and attend college you will rise in soc-economic status- and make more money. Yet, high school dropout rates continue to rise. And on and on. Some people find time and desire to change when its too late or are being forced to. Mike Vick is going through changes these days, ALL of which were precipitated by his actions. Now, he changes? He "found" Jesus... amazingly he couldn find him when he was signing the 100 million dollar contract. Just saying your going to change doesn't change what you've done. We all know that if serious changes don't take place world wide regarding our environment, we are being assured by the best scientists in the world, free of personal gain or agenda, that we are all in big trouble. If your grossly over weight and suffer a massive heart attack, is then the time to change? Time changes everything, but nothing changes time. Some times people try and change things that are not able to be changed. Aging is a process of living. Oxidation is going to take place and as it does cells age. Take a bite of an apple and leave on the table for five minutes and see first hand oxidation and aging. Cosmetic surgery is like painting over rust.... it will reappear you can count on it. Can changing latitude change your attitude? Jimmy Buffet thinks so. Sometimes its easier to change something when you have help. Try changing a tire without a little help from Jack. A lot of people make a living off of changing somthing. The doctor who assists Jim become Jane. The house keeping staff at hotels is constantly changing sheets and staff. The poor soul who stands at the corner with cardboard sign has obviously experienced a change in their life that now resorts them to living off your change. The easiest and most frequent changes take place in ones mind. Like now, i wasn't going to post this but..........
