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.
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

An Amendment to the Constitution
AMENDMENT
I believe the founding fathers didn’t foresee a Constitutional crisis that could occur very shortly. A crisis where the President willingly violates his/her oath of office to fully execute the laws of the land and even uses powers reserved for the legislative branch, yet there is no feasible way to remove this President from office. Most Presidents have respected their constitutionally limitations but this appears to be eroding and with no logically way to remove the President why wouldn’t it erode further in the future. Without a strong threat I fear that the power of the office will become a burden to us all.
The Constitution requires that the House vote for articles of Impeachment and that it by tried in the Senate where 2/3 would have to vote in favor for the President to be forced out of office.This is nearly an impossible hurdle to overcome because the President’s Party wouldn’t vote for his/her removal unless it was truly extreme. In the past the thought of being seriously brought up for impeachment would shame the President to resign but as we’ve seen with “Bill Clinton” and “Andrew Jackson” they not only got impeached but thrived afterwards. It’s time for a new amendment (below) to secure our freedoms and liberty.
(1) If a President violates his/her oath of office by repeatingly not executing the laws of the land, using powers reserved for other branches or enacts measures that interfere with the basic bill of rights then a majority in the house will bring action to the court to seize and desist from these action. Upon a guilty verdict the President will have to seize from such action. The Senate will have to vote within 30 days if this has been a serious enough violation of the constitutional authority of the Presidency . If a clear majority in the Senate belief the President has violated his constitution authority then the Supreme Court will hear the case. The majority will decide and if found guilty the President will be immediately removed from office.
What to do next until…
Most of us spend our time waiting for our next event or action until something stops us in our path. When those moments occur it truly gives us a moment to reflect on what we truly have in our life or G-D forbid had, instead of waiting for our next conquest. I don’t want to wait till I’m forced into such situations because of illness or tragedy to reflect so I make sure I smell the roses on a regular basis.
This occurs with my “Sabbath” 1/2 rest. I say 1/2 rest because although I stop, rest and reflect my mind still ponders about my future plans and dreams. I’ve made an extra effort though to make sure that those thoughts don’t concern my business interest but charity, family and what I can do to make this world a bit better. My Sabbath is usually spent at my home with loved ones enjoying the simple pleasures that I normally rush through during my daily routine whether it be reading the newspaper, talking to friends and family or even taking a longer shower. Please don’t let illness or tragedy be the impetus that makes you stop and reflect but allow it to become a part of your routine as well.
An unusual perspective
It wasn’t long ago that those who had “homosexual tendencies” were treated for mental health problems. The mental health society believed that this deviant behavior harmed the individual and needed to be treated like any mental health condition. Today that community generally believes that this is a behavior that doesn’t harm the individual or society as a whole. Could this be said for some of those with delusional thoughts?
Are there some individuals who have been through such a traumatic experience like the murder of a loved one, molestation etc that it would be better escaping into a fantasy world then be treated with years and years of painful therapy? Is the truth truly the best way to deal with life or could an alternate reality be more helpful? We all find ways to escape our daily small problems whether it be through movies, music or even fantasy role playing maybe some of us need a bigger escape route. WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE? I’D LOVE TO KNOW.
Addiction vs Habit
ADDICTIONS ENSLAVE US HABITS LIBERATE US
How do you define if you are truly addicted or it’s just a habit. The definition of addiction is listed below but where does a habit turn into an addiction? If you constantly participate in an activity or eat/drink a certain substance on a daily basis are you addicted? If so call me a chocolate blog writing addict?
I believe addiction occurs when an individual can’t substitute that feeling he receives from that substance or activity with another and feels like he/she needs it to survive. They actually don’t even feel the initially high they had with “it” but would feel sick without it. When such action occurs then truly treatment might be the answer to this problem so you can truly find the joy and happiness in all the wonderful things life has to offer instead of being imprisoned by one.
Addiction is characterized by inability to consistently abstain, impairment in behavioral control, craving, diminished recognition of significant problems with one’s behaviors and interpersonal relationships, and a dysfunctional emotional response
A Unique Perspective
There was a time not so long ago where people were treated for homosexuality at a mental health clinic. At that time society had determined that this was an abhorrent behavior that harmed the individual. Today those in the mental health field believe that this behavior is not “harmful” for the individual and their treatment is not necessary. How about if this analysis’s was extended to a select few that are delusional?
Is it truly better for individuals who suffered from such traumatic experiences in the past such as witnessing a loved ones murder, molestation etc. to go through years of painful treatment or could an escape in a fantasy world be more helpful ? In other words is the truth truly the best medicine in all cases? Could someone actually be more successful in their life experiences if they never had to relieve the pain even if if it wasn’t real? These prov-active questions came up as I watched a recent movie that I won’t give up the title of because it would definitely be a spoiler. What do you think?
Fasting and Faith
FASTING & FAITH- As the month of Ramadan occurs my Muslim brothers and sisters will be fasting from Sunrise to Sunset for a month and I thought Yom Kippur was hard. Fasting is an important part of the Christian faith although it appears less rigid on how it is performed as compared do the Jewish and Islamic faith. Fasting is found is most faiths but what are the similarities we can discover?
(1) HUMBLING- A fast reminds you that life and all it’s wonders can’t be taken for granted. We must thank G-D for the bounty we have and not forget those less fortunate.
(2) SIGN OF CLEMENCY- We ask that G-D accept our fast as a sign that we are committed to be better people and therefore ask for forgiveness.
(3) STRENGTH OF CHARACTER- As a person finishes the fast they feel not only cleansed but realize that they have the ability to survive and grow with G-D’s help.
In conclusion I pray that my Muslim brothers and sisters have an easy, spiritual fast during this month of Ramadan. Let us all find that spiritual gift during our fast that brings us true understanding and friendship between all G-D’s children.
President Obama’s good side
I have been very critical of the President so I decided to challenge myself by finding 10 good points about him. I feel it’s critical for even the most vocal critic to find positive points about those they generally oppose if they are truly to be honest with themselves and others. It also helps to better understand those that feel differently and why they might feel this way.
(1) President Obama is a good family man. He is often seen spending good quality with his children.
(2) He was responsible for calling the order to kill Osama Bin Laden.
(3) The President ordered the execution of pirates that held American’s hostage.
(4) His administration has utilized drones to kill Al Qaida leaders
(5) Gave businesses tax credits to hire Veterans
(6) Helped South Sudan declare Independence from Sudan
(7) Killed the funding for the F-22 fighters. The military had 187 units which were never used in military operations
HELP ME IF YOU CAN FIND 3 MORE THAT ARE TRULY GOOD FOR ALL AMERICANS RIGHT AND LEFT.
