It’s time we focus our war on drugs on those dealers who deal with death. Phillip Seymour Hoffman’s death is another example where the war on drugs is going after the wrong criminals.  It’s time we give life sentences to drug dealers who sell and/or distribute Heroin, PCP, Angel Dust, LSD and other drugs that cause permanent injury and/or death to our people. The resources we utilize to fight illegal marijuana trafficking should be instead focused on these areas.  Just like there is a difference with being armed with an AK-47 and a missile launcher there is a difference between smoking pot and shooting heroin and we as society should act accordingly. If life sentences for these criminals is not enough to stop their distributions, then I believe it’s time we show them the chair, that will give them the juice instead of our citizens.

After reading “Lone Survivor” I was troubled with how we are to  conquer the enemy without destroying “the innocent”.  I use the quote innocent because in many cases these individuals might appear innocent but let’s just say looks can be deceiving.  The truth is it is difficult to fight battles when the enemy fights in open villages. I believe this solution will save lives most importantly the brave men and woman that defend our nation.

All soldiers should have in their arsenal an agent that enables them to put to sleep or weaken an individual (s) for at least several hours. This will insure that the “innocent individual” will not hinder the soldiers operation and reduce collateral damage.  If such an agent was available 3 of our nations treasures from  “Operation Redwing” would probably still be alive today.

AT THE END OF DARKNESS IS LIGHT

Palestinians have complained that the separation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip makes it impossible for them to truly seek peace with Israel since their country is divided by the  land of Israel in the middle. The answer is the tunnel of peace a way for Palestinians to easily move to and fro from both capitals.   This tunnel would be built by Israel and be fully bomb proof.  It would also be funded by the world community.  Once it’s formed the officials on the West Bank and Gaza Strip would control who enters and leaves the tunnel. If a terrorist attack does occur in or around this tunnel Israel would close the tunnel from various sections.   There could be a section for a subway system as  well.  This tunnel can truly bring light to the world where many see only darkness.

It is wrong to keep healthy men and woman dependent on government assistance when there is so much that they can achieve for themselves, their family and society as a whole.  As an employer when I see someone who is seeking a position but hasn’t worked in over 6 months, they fall to the bottom of my pile.  Many an individual will lose self confidence and not be able to project a good image of themselves if they have been unemployed for over 6 months.  As we continue this cycle we lose more and more talented individuals to dependency and fear. It’s time this cycle is broken.

Unemployment Centers need to become Employment Centers. Where these places are run by non for profit institutions or even those in the private center .  Individuals will have one month to try to find a job and receive full benefits and after that the Employment Centers will truly kick in. There will be incentives from all sides to get this individual working as soon as possible (see below).  Most importantly we will help the individual gain the independence to take care of themselves, their family and demonstrate the G-D given abilities to the world.

(1) Companies that hire an individual on unemployment will only pay 70 % of what the individual is receiving while unemployment insurance gives them 38% for a short term basis and 2% goes back to the agency that finds them work.   This program will benefit everyone; the companies will have a financial incentive to hire such an individual, the employment center has an incentive to find work for this individual, the individual will receive more monies working then being dependent on the system and the taxpayer saves monies. After a six month period the employee will incentive package will be cancelled on all ends.

(2) If the Unemployment Center finds a position for this individual that they truly desire the split will be more in their favor for example (5 % Employment Center 70% Employer & 35 % employment insurance)

We can argue about the numbers but not about this system.
