When worse is better

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

LAST PLACE

There are times in life when it’s better to have it worse then a little better. These are the moments when the worse allows you to break free from the “what if effect”.  Here are a few examples (below).

(1) It is better to lose the lottery by more numbers then by only one.

(2) Losing a competitive effect by a fraction of a second or an ounce more of an effort can be more painful then coming in last place.

(3) Escaping a really bad relationship is a lot easier then a relationship that has a few bumps along the way.

Israeli Victory the only choice!

Posted by Bruce - in Blog, Philosophy - No Comments

United

Israel must not agree to anymore seize fires with Hamas but have complete victory instead.  Hamas just uses those seize fires to put more missiles into place to attack the innocent or build another tunnel to do the same. Israel must continue these difficult battles until Hamas finally is defeated as a threat to the Jewish State. Below is a list of how Israel must deal with the conflict.

(1) Eliminate all  Hamas leadership whether in the Gaza Strip or hiding anywhere in the world.

(2) Fire a barrage of rockets at any location where a missile is launched against Israel.

(3) Take control of small bites of the Gaza Strip until attacks on Israel are eliminated. Insure that those residence in the areas they control live in peace and prosperity.

(4) Have discussions with Palestinian leaders that are looking for peace and disarmament of groups like Hamas.

(5) Take control of the local media markets insuring that Israel’s story is told to the Palestinian people yet allow a free exchange of ideas and knowledge to be heard.

 

Religion of the Non-Believers

Make no mistake about it those without “any real faith” truly believe in their own religion. While those with faith will quote a holy scripture as evidence of that faith the “non believers” will idolize a person.  When the idolized person speaks their words are held to be true even if their deeds don’t match up.  Their faith will even allow them to skip the facts on the ground because their leader(s) no better about the “future”.  This faith can actually be more dangerous then a religious doctrine as we have seen with the rise of leaders  in the past like Stalin and Hitler.  While those with true faith can divorce themselves from a religious leader who sways from the doctrine, those without “faith” believe that person is the doctrine.  Therefore be wary of those that say they have “no faith” because their religion might be more dangerous then we think.

Ferguson a trial by the mob.

   Justice 2

     I empathize with the victims of injustice because I was a victim as well but I fear that the mob might be taking over in Ferguson Missouri’s justice system.  This mob mentality is based on conviction first then trial later for Darren Wilson.  Officer Wilson to the mob is a symbol of injustice in their society not a person accused of a crime. They want justice not in this particular case but as punishment for the wrongs committed against them over the years.

    Yet vengeance without justice leads only to more vengeance and makes things worse for all those involved.  Mr. Wilson should probably be arrested for the death of Michael Brown if only to insure that all the facts are presented clearly to the public but that’s a far cry from conviction. Let us truly seek justice for every individual and leave vengeance for G-D to sort out.

Laughing to silence!

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

When those in the media ridicule individuals of a certain political persuasion it might not be an attempt to make people laugh but to silence those voices.  If they can make a serious person appear to be silly because of a simple unforced error(s) then those who would have considered truly listening will close their ears to what is truly said.  The media will leave an imprint in the public’s head so their ability to truly deceiver the important words said will instead be colored by the caricature they have presented. We as a nation will suffer because of the important insight that might be gained has been instead ignored.  When the media jumps on such an individual we in the public must truly understand if the purpose is for humor or to keep their own political power base in control.  Therefore take the time to listen carefully to the individual being attacked before the laughs control the thoughts in your head.

Jamaica & Colorado what do they have in common?

Posted by Bruce - in Blog, Philosophy - No Comments

stoned 2

Jamaica and  Colorado appear to be vastly different, from their climate to the land masses but what draws them together is  “Opium for the masses”.  Today’s Opium maybe called Gangia or Pot either way it’s a way to keep the masses quiet.  Denver has utilized legalization of this drug to be the panacea for  all it’s problems from collecting extra tax revenue for the politicians pockets to “curing illness”, it’s their new wonder drug. Jamaica has kept it illegal  in name only as its citizens openly sell it all tourist resorts. This way there can be a few extra dollars in an economy that is barely moving. They can also can insure that many of their citizens are so stoned that they see no problem, no matter how many problems those with clear eyes can see.  

Please note I’m for the legalization of this and many illegal substances (with many tight controls) but that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t be wary of how many power might use it legally or illegally for their benefit. For a dopie society falls prey to dope while freedoms and opportunities crumble besides them.  Legalization must occur to get the bullets out of dealing this drug but education must also occur so the ballots aren’t thrown away as well.

True Enemy of Islamist Radicals= Pirate Radio

Posted by Bruce - in Blog, Philosophy - No Comments

pirate radio 2

If we are to truly launch a war against Islamist Radicals that would due us harm, it can’t just be fought with guns and bullets but by Pirate Radio. Pirate radio would play a wide variety of music that professors freedom for the individual and have debates on various issues such as women’s right, modern versions of Islamic faith to peace with the Jewish State and world.  The shows wouldn’t be preachy but open the door to discussion and debate within the communities at large.  Radio’s that pick up these channels would be sent in secret ways to the community and in items that don’t appear to be radios at all.  Once people get the taste of freedom through this radio they will join the battle for that freedom as well.

Ferguson Missouri – Needs People Power

It’s time that the people of Ferguson as well as the good people of Chicago, Detroit and Newark took control of their own neighborhood(s) and kicked the gangsters and opportunist out.  This process will take time and training but it can and  should be done. Here’s a few steps in that process.

(1) Insure that there is a timely and orderly process in which incidents are reported to the community at large and that this blueprint is followed to the key in most cases. If a deviation from this pattern must occur let the community know immediately why this is occurring and when it will be corrected.

(2) Build and/or strengthen Guardian Angles and/or community policing units that have all the means necessary to watch and protect people(s) and property within their community.

(3) Develop community organizers that truly care about the community and not their own political career. That will work with the local police to insure that their neighborhoods are protected as well as the rights of the citizens.

(4) Find ways for those individuals who are unemployed in such communities to work part-time to help secure the neighborhood by reporting incidents to the local police of incidence of possible harm to persons or property.

(5) Ask the police force to become more active in good will gestures in the community and  whether through getting involved in charity activities in the community or going out and meeting with the citizens on a regular basis and listening.

(6) Tell gangsters and rioters that they aren’t welcome in the community and only peaceful protesters are. Insure that the rights of the innocent will be defended in the community if incidents occur in the future.

(7) Insist on programs that bring jobs and help families work together in the community

 

Where Competence truly doesn’t matter

Posted by Bruce - in Blog, Philosophy - No Comments

Kool Aid

In most professions competence is key, whether it be in the business world where numbers tell the whole story or in the professional sports world where stats determine your pay raise but in one profession your failures don’t add up.  It is a profession where your supporters will find every excuse for you failure including blaming the other team, the weather, bad luck, and even the tooth fairy if necessary in order to keep you safe from your critics. Those who are criticize your performance will be labeled by the supporters so that there criticism can be blunted in the public eye. A few names you might be familiar with include racist, homophobic, socialist, communist, right wing nut, religious fanatic, all to avoid a clear discussion of the facts.  

If you haven’t guessed it yet it’s our own Public Servant who is supposed to work for all the citizens whether they voted for them or not. This servant isn’t expected to agree on the differing positions but must be respectful of them. They should not directly or indirectly harass those with differing views but actively engage those with differing views in a respectful way that showcases how we all should act toward each other. Finally these public servants should be the first to step forward when an error is made with humility and seek to correct before it hurts others.  I understand to many that this appears to be a pipe dream but I found a dollar under my pillow last night. 

Arm and Train Freedom Fighters

defeat terrorist

From the rebels who are fighting for their lives in ISIS controlled Iraqi and Syria to the rebels looking to overthrow the brutal regime of Hamas it’s time to arm and train these freedom fighters.  Training should not only include military training but education in formulating a truly democratic republic. Many fear that if these rebels lose battles against the enemy that the arms will fall into their hands but a GPS tracking device located in such weapons could solve such problems. If the enemy does get there hands on such weapons we could easily find there position and see that they are annihilated in the sea and sky. The United States doesn’t have to put a foot on the battlefield but must make sure that there is a foot that knows where victory and Democracy lies.
