Oscars go to the birds!

bird falling

   “BIRDMAN” won best picture of the year and I feel like I’m eating crow.  This was a movie without a point/beak. There were definitely some fine performances but best picture of the year come on have the Oscars flown the coop. I apology for all the bird references but at least I’m going somewhere with this piece unlike “Birdman” which went know where.  Maybe I don’t understand the artistic principles involved in it but maybe I’m supposed to go to a movie to be entertained and feel like there was a point in blowing over 2 hours of my time.  “BIRDMAN” deserved best picture and pigeon tastes like caviar.

P.S. I’m very happy that J.K Simmons won best supporting actor in Whiplash. He not only deserved for his powerful performance but gave a moving acceptance speech as well.

 

Does the President love the U.S?

president obama question

I guess the question should be does this advance a discussion and/or how does someone express love?  In terms of advancing the debate will this question make people look more deeply into the decisions and words the President say or cause them to become more defensive of him?  This discussion itself has led to other accusations of racism on those that have even asked this question and as such has taken the topic from the President to the accuser. How would someone determine love anyway? As we know some people wear their feelings on their sleeve while others hide them deeply only to be revealed when it truly matters.  What makes this even more complicated is some are more open with love for  things like a team while don’t express their love for other things like country as well. Therefore I believe it’s best to believe that the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue truly loves this country but expresses it way too often in a way that harms it with poor decisions and words.

Car Modes

textng when driving

Wouldn’t it be great if there were different modes in your car to help you deal with different driving conditions? Here are a just a few modes I believe need to be created. There would be an over ride available to allow those in control to change these settings.

(1) ENERGY MODE- This mode will maximize your MPG, Once you select your desired location it will analyze the top speed you can go, most direct route to get there (including traffic analysis) and other controls on the car and you won’t be able to exceed them.

(2) WINTER MODE- In this mode your car will perform for the difficult conditions that lie ahead it will not allow you to get too close to another vehicle and have an emergency stop if you are about to hit something on black ice.

(3) YOUTH MODE- Will insure safe driving by making sure the drivers eyes are in the right position for any action to occur (no texting when driving, or eating a burger).  It will also have an automatic stop to avoid the vehicle hitting another object, speed control so car can’t exceed a safe speed, & road rage control.

(4) COMBINATION MODE- You can combine the modes that you want your car to have.

GLOBAL CONSPIRACY THEORY

Posted by Bruce - in Blog, Philosophy - No Comments

conspiracy

       Global Warming might be the most successful conspiracy theory of our time. This theory has lead to many world and business leaders to make drastic policy changes without truly knowing what the consequences will be. I’m all for lowering our dependency on Fossil Fuels and being good stewards of our planet (I have solar panels on my house, recycle, buy locally etc) but extreme measures forced into effect might have greater harm then anticipated by lowering food and energy supplies for those most needy.  Global Warming is a theory because if my local climatologist can’t predict the weather for a local area for the next day they surely can’t predict how CO2 will effect the world environment 2o years from now. Yet even the most deeply held atheists will cling onto this believe like it’s a gun or bible no matter how cold it gets outside. Conspiracy Theories that last always have an out for the believer when facts don’t match reality and with global warming there is a world of facts that can be spun either way. To conclude it’s important to consider how we can be better stewards of our environment for tomorrow but today let’s deal with those who are truly a threat “Islamic Extremist”.

ISIS Appeal

 black white

   For us to defeat evil we must understand it’s pull too many. ISIS just like evil in the past has a force to pull those outside in and it’s not their “economic message that draws them in.  ISIS draws from the power of simplicity or black and white. There faith is perfect and all others evil. It allows those that have fanaticism in their blood and outlet to leak the blood of the innocent and feel that it is for a greater good. It gives an avenue for the psychopath to commit evil and actually be rewarded for it.  Those that have lacked power can now feel the power of life and death resides in their hands.  To counter such evil takes more then a job or a village but a way to find those few outsiders and bring them into the civilized world whether it be getting  them proper training, facility and/or service that will keep them away from the pull of this evil.

President’s Vernacular- ISTREMIST

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

president speaking

The President doesn’t want to use the words Islamic Extremist because he’s afraid of offending the “moderate people of the Islamic faith” funny, he’s not afraid “Tea Party Extremist” with those he politically disagrees with but I’ll leave that for another blog. I’ve found a solution to the President’t Vernacular Problem and is ISTREMIST =  those who claim the faith of Islam to commit vile acts (including terrorist actions) against non-combatants and/or military actions that go against the Geneva Conventions. Istremist allows the President not to “offend moderates” and still speak the truth.  I’ve also created Chritremist, Jestremist,  Leftremist in case G-D forbid groups like these are formed. I hope these semantics can help us get closer to identify the enemy so we can annihilate it.

The Slap / Bad Joke

Posted by Bruce - in Blog, Philosophy - 5 Comments

holding back laughter

NBC has a new show called “The Slap” where one person being slapped leads to a spiral of events but I believe in today’s environment it should be “The Joke“. “The Joke” would show how one person’s laughter at an off color joke leads to their downfall from fame and fortune. The laugh would be shown in slow motion as is the reaction to it. For if today’s condition uphold in the near future it won’t even be saying political incorrect words that get you in trouble but your reaction to them.  If this show becomes popular I would then produce “Silence” in which one’s none reaction to words leads to downward action with  Nancy Pelosi as the star.

INDENTURED SERVANT

Posted by Bruce - in Blog, Philosophy - No Comments

prison work

Bring back the “Indentured Servant” instead of prison for petty crimes. If someone refuses to pay their alimony or other debts why send them up the river but let them work on the river instead.  This way they can’t claim that they can’t afford to pay back those that they owe but will work to insure that they pay their debts instead. The Petty Criminals will not become a burden on society but will actually work to make themselves and society as a whole a bit better.  They can work with the injured individual (with supervision) or find a different way to help whether it be paint the outside of the house, dispose of garbage etc.  If these individuals still pose a threat to the injured party then they can do work on a farm and give the monies for this work back to those injured by the crime.  Indentured Servants will insure that crime only pays for those that are victimized.

 

YOUTH CERTIFIED

young person helping

As new technology opens the door to many young people it appears to shut the door to those in their later years that is until “YOUTH CERTIFIED”.  Why fear new technology or innovation  when a “Youth Certified” technician will make house calls to allow you to become young again at least in using your new I-Phone, Galaxy instrument or even that annoying Blue Ray player.  These individuals will have to be certified in knowing how to teach technology to those that aren’t as savvy as them and have been updated on a regular basis with all the bells and whistles plus have a full background check.  They would just call a 1-800 and this service would locate a “YOUTH CERTIFIED” agent who would come to their door to help.  Now a young person can truly open the door to those a bit older then them and in so doing open a new world of technology to them.

A FIDDLE

coptic christians

G-D may you burn this image in our minds so we will have the strength to destroy evil!

    Last night as I watched the 3 major networks broadcast the “news” I saw how the world could forget. For only a day ago 22 innocent Coptic Christians were decapitated by ISIS while these networks top story was that it was cold in winter.  It appeared as if a blizzard was covering up the news with peeks of the truth coming through Fox News.  Can we even imagine the horror that is going on in the rest of these ISIS areas that they don’t broadcast? Imagine if the Nazi’s actually showed low lights of their daily brutality. Where is the voice of outrage and demonstrations around the world? Where are the concerts and campaigns against terror and the death of the innocent?

Many people might claim that I want a drum beat to war as I believe the media needs to keep this on their front pages but a Fiddle would work just fine.  We have brought resources to this military campaign but without reporting the facts on the ground I’m afraid that the stomach for the battle will soon be drained.  As a practicing Jew who has continually been taught “Never to Forget” the Holocaust let’s not forget a fire that continues to grow before our eyes and let’s pledge to crush before it kills more victims.
