Freedom Punk look

You and I are totally free wherever we might be! It is only the ropes of consequences that hold us back from doing exactly what we want when we want to do it.  Of course some individuals will be killed (North Korea, ISIS Territory, Saudi Arabia) before we finish our true free act but even then we might go further then they could stop us.  Some of the greatest acts of true kindness and evil only occur when individuals realize that this true (hopeful the first side).  Today I could decide to get on a plane, boat and go anywhere and do anything, what stops me is not only the consequences of such action that man or woman could put on me (including guilty) but knowing I’m here to serve a higher authority. I could decide to continue to write this blog piece for another page or I could stop it before it’s ……..

Justice Tilted

Hillary Clinton laughing  Unfair Justice

Today across America average Joe’s and Jane’s are being indicted for crimes they didn’t commit on flimsy evidence, that isn’t even thoroughly vetted, yet the former Secretary of State hasn’t even had a grand jury be called on damming evidence that builds up every day.   It is true that Hillary Clinton might be innocent of a crime and everyone deserves their day in court before such judgement can be made but the court date should have been set already.  We are supposed to be a country based on laws not people and therefore equal justice should be enforced. It’s ironic that the former Secretary claims she is a woman of the people when she is being treated as if she’s royalty by our justice system.  It isn’t right for her supporters as well as our justice system for this charade to continue much longer the FBI must do it’s job now and see that Mrs. Clinton gets prosecuted for not doing her’s legally.

Wasted $$$

throwing away money 1  throwing away money 2

These images might be too painful for many to look at but in some way we all do this in our life. Whether it’s that have eaten steak that we left in the doggy bag until it’s ready for St Patty’s, or the light we leave on when know one is around, monies are wasted on a regular basis.   Yet what others consider wasteful some consider a great investment in happiness whether it be getting the best chocolate in town (I’m on those list) or taking that stretch limo to the airport (stretch is pushing it).  If the monies that are spent on such luxurious produce states of happiness and memories that last a lifetime then they are truly investments otherwise flush on the way out.  So how do we determine if we made an investment or flushed (below) are some helpful hints.

(1) Are the monies being spent on something you believe in or what others believe in?

(2) Does this fill one of your bucket list items/goals or has it just popped out of know-where?

(3) Will these expenditures satisfy this desire or lead you down a path of spending more and more?

(4) Are you paying a price for this product/service that is at or below the list price for it or is worth to pay more for the convenience in terms of happiness goal?

(5) Have you used at least 50% of the product/service or has it been disposed of?

(6) Will spending these monies bring a great deal of happiness to your loved one that they could cherish not just now but as a legacy of your name?

(7)Does spending this monies hurt your ability to fulfill your basic needs and even desires of you and your immediate love ones?

 

 

Drug War- Your War

Posted by Bruce - in Blog, Philosophy, Political - No Comments

Drug War

The war against illegal hard drugs can’t be won if we as individuals don’t fight it in the communities that we live.  It is not a war on supply for without a demand there would be no blood of the innocent. If we are therefore to win this war family, friends, and associates must have the ability to intervene when a loved one goes down this evil path. Laws must be passed that make it easier for this to occur without retribution and to insure that those who have taken the wrong path get the help they need quickly and efficiently so that they can truly live again. Here (below) is some ways this could occur.

(1) 1-800 A special anonymous number will be set up so you can help an individual condemned to a path of destruction and death.

(2) Surveillance of such individual will occur and when they are caught either taking such deadly substances or purchasing them they will be immediately arrested.

(3) These individuals will be given the choice of a court trial with a criminal record or an immediate scared straight w tough love drug treatment center that is out of the community they live in. Furthermore they will not have anything on their permanent record if they stay clean and go to group therapy/counseling on a regular basis after such treatment, and give back some time (as retribution) to help defeat this war on death and destruction in their communities.

 

Rubio’s Immigration Policy-Your Policy

Posted by Bruce - in Blog, Philosophy, Political - No Comments

Marco Rubio sneaking over the border

Marco Rubio’s policy on legal & illegal immigration is your policy on this subject as well.  There has been a great deal of confusion on his stance but after listening to him speak in many formats I believe there is clarity that his opponents don’t want you to see so here is how it is broken down (below).

(1) FIX THE BORDERS- He won’t even try to consider changing or revising any status on immigration unto there is consensus that our borders are fully protected. This of course includes building fencing where need be as well as other security measures.

(2) CONSENSUS BUILDING- Once  that goal is achieved he will not push a policy on the status of illegal or legal immigration that the American people are against. Rubio pulled out of the deal of 8 because although he thought there were fine points in the legislation the other points were prickly to his constituents and the American people.

(3) DEPORTING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS- Marco Rubio takes a realistic approach with those that are here illegally now understanding there is no will either fiscally or emotionally to horde up 11 million people who have lived in our communities some for many generations.  He will seek to deport those immediately who  commit criminal actions but find a realistic way to deal with those individuals who have lived and worked in our communities that is based on what is best for the country as a whole.

Iowa Election Results- Donald Trump & Hillary squeaks bye

Posted by Bruce - in Blog, Philosophy, Political - 7 Comments

Donald Trump sad

Although the results are still coming in it appears from all the data that it will be a defeat for Donald Trump in the Iowa Caucus. After refusing to appear in the last debate before the Iowa Caucuses his supporters have decided to stay home as well.  It also appears that the supporters of Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and Ben Carson were motivated to come out from their performance and the results are still to close to call.  Giving a crushing defeat to the presumed favorite of the G.O.P field. Donald Trump has pledged to participate in further debates but the question is can the momentum change to stop this downward spiral before the New Hampshire primary?

Lonely DANGER!!

Posted by Bruce - in Blog, Philosophy - No Comments

Lonely lonely in crowd

Most dangerous/extreme acts can be traced to loneliness in some way. When an individual feels alone even in a group setting they may have a tendency to act out in a way that is harmful to themselves or those around them just to get noticed.  These individuals might join groups that they are not right because at least they’re paying attention to them. Loneliness can lead to falling for the wrong person and staying with them because they don’t want to be alone again.   Therefore it is important that society recognize such individuals and help them deal effectively with these feelings if not for themselves then society as a whole. Here are a few ways this can occur.

(1) Faith Path– Help let these individuals know that there is a place where their words are listened to and where they are always welcome.

(2) Art Path– Lead these individuals to productive ways they can express those emotions that add beauty to the world.

(3) Unique Path– Let them see the peacefulness that can reside in moments of contemplation’s and serenity. For an artist, writer, inventor, philosopher needs moments by themselves to achieve a unique perspective that helps the world see things a bit differently.

(4) Charitable Path– These individuals empty moments can be filled with action to help make other life’s better.

 

Ammon Bundy Arrested

Ammon Bundy

I know that “Ammon Bundy” deserves to be arrested for occupying Federal land that is owned not by him but all of us but I steel feel for him and his cause. For the Federal Government is encroaching on all our rights and our way of life one step at a time. The West might have been wild but it was free and sometimes you must be willing to lose a little to gain a bit more freedom. Those ranchers live on the edge of freedom and self reliance where many of us have just given into authority (including me at times) and I for one am glad that they’re making sure the next step of government intervention isn’t on our feet.

Donald Trump not in Presidential Debate….Really

Posted by Bruce - in Blog, Philosophy, Political - No Comments

donald trump bad card hand

I believe Donald Trump is playing poker and seeing what this hand will get him.  For if he doesn’t show up for the Fox News Presidential Debate this Thursday 1/28/16 (as his campaign manager has suggested)  his hand will  be completely empty. and the election which appeared to be Trumped will be up for grabs. He will claim the slightest change as the reason he decided to attend at the last minute and by so doing get all the attention before, during and after the debates. Fox News might throw in another moderator or hand him a few softball questions (that he’ll claim he knew in advance) but trust me he’ll be there or is  ready to throw in the towel before the 1st round is even over. If in the end he doesn’t show up it will because the internal polls in Iowa are not going as well as he expected and  he’ll claim his absence (due to unfairness) as the excuse why he didn’t win the Caucus. Donald Trump knows the art of the deal  better then most and he plays it to his advantage all the time.

 

You Make Their Day!

puppy 1    puppy 2

We all have those dog days when we feel we’re not accomplishing what we should be but those with 4 legs and a tail see it a whole lot differently. For even a few moments with you makes their entire day. Let alone if you decided to play ball with them, take them for a walk or give them an extra pet it’s just whipped cream on their cake.  If you doubt this sit down for a few moments and then  suddenly get up your dog will have incredible energy as if they took a shot of Espresso.  So if you can’t change the world today make their day instead by spending a few more useless minutes with your dogs.  . They may turn out to be  the most productive moments you have the entire day and I’ll guarantee you a wagged tail or a few extra lips (not from me) but your four legged friend. It’s true that sometimes they’ll drive you crazy but a little craziness never hurt anyone and they might be better drivers then you think.
