Explanation For All The Craziness In Washington D.C.
I Have An Explanation For All The Craziness In Washington D.C.
It's all rather simple. 10 Years ago a meteorite landed in Washington D.C. with brain bugs inside. At least that was the explanation given by the TV show "BRAINDEAD" in 2016 which we watched faithfully/ Well, it's good an accounting as any I suppose.

What I've Learned Over My 72 Years
Repost (I'm Now 78)
People are hard wired in only two ways. Those willing to self reflect and accept new information. Those who simply will not. The latter cannot be reasoned with and most likely project who they are as if it were the other who were doing what they themselves are guilty of. There's no changing this. As for the earlier of the two (willing to self reflect accepting new information) it is they who are in the minority. There's plainly no compromising between the two. Anyone attempting to bridge this gap will serve only to frustrate themselves. At this point I'm willing to accept this for what it is. It's a lot less stressing. You are you and I am me. It is what it is.. a fact of life.
When we where young we all did stupid things. Few of us (if we had to do it all over again) would do some of the stupid stuff we once did. Especially over the influence of raging hormones with our relationships. Also some of the chances we took never realizing how physically vulnerable we were.
Life's a crap shoot. All too often good things happen to bad people. While on the other hand bad things happen to some really good people. All this seems to defy our best efforts or intentions. What seems to console us is to accept what we can change and accept those we cannot.
Ideologies cannot be changed at the point of a gun. Countless people have died for their beliefs which they carried to their graves. I guess it's just part of the drama of life. This cannot be changed..
Music uses another part of the brain. One which everyone unites if only for the moment. Some forms of music appeals to one segment. Not to another. What each has in common, all intellectual reasoning's are temporarily suspended bringing people together if for a little while. Entertainment (including comedy) is perhaps the best path to uniting us with what each of us have in common with one another.
Political leaders may influence us when we pay attention to them. However most of us, by ignoring them, will find our differences are far fewer. By nature these are largely self serving individuals who depend on our weakest animosities for their livelihoods.
Nearly every comment on social media is a game of competition. Rather then supporting others most of these insecure lowlifes depend on fueling their egos via how much they can impugn another's beliefs. Ignoring them only increases their anguish causing them to take it up another notch. Their anguish increase my pleasure. So there's that.
Progress cannot be measured how many more structures we build or how many more people can be stuffed into a certain area. Rather how much more lives can be improved within an existing community. Neither can technology improve one's life without being able to simplify it. All too many times technology makes it more difficult. The goal software programmers and others should be to make things less complicated then they were before. This is not happening. Most likely because many would prefer to profit from such things.
Religion is making a huge profit off invisible products. Bad health, death, natural disasters, financial loss, accidents, earthquakes, fires.,, whatever misfortunes.. They're all suppose to be part of God's mysterious plan. We're suppose to believe God sits on his throne everyday taking millions of prayer requests Meanwhile religious leaders are enriching themselves. I don't care how many times these guys do the hokey pokey around the alter or how much money people throw at the cause it isn't going to change one damn thing. Indeed God may exist, but he/she/it isn't going to become subservient to mankind's foolish wishes. How many more thousands of years and catastrophic events will it take before people figure this out?
I also figured out my life or opinions are no more meaningful then any others. This blog only serves to vent my thoughts at the moment for the day. Some of these could change as I grow older. Now that I shared mine how about yours?
Assuming no one responds it will only serve to validate my belief people could care less. None the less let it not be said I wasn't forthright and willing to share some of my inner most thoughts with the world.

Neil deGrasse Tyson | America's Brain Drain
New York Post : China lures away 105 top American minds in bid to dominate med, tech fields. China is aggressively poaching America’s top scientists in its rabid quest for global dominance in fields like medicine, space and tech, with at least 105 of the best and brightest defecting to the communist nation since 2024.
I've mentioned it before.. what we're seeing is the decline of the United States.

Dishonesty Getting Worse
Repost With Reedits
It seems every time I turn around someone is trying to scam the system or some other individual.
Most all of our nation's troubles boil down to taking personal responsibility. Too many fail to realize what happens when our only concern is our own being. By not taking into consideration others who have to live on this planet too we are only making it worse for ourselves.
When it comes to the common environment we all share the well being and fair dealings with other people it seems too few are able to understand how we all are interconnected.
There's no amount of religion, laws or regulations that can fix this. I'm not sure if education can solve this either. This is something that either is or isn't in the hearts of people. I'm not sure there is even a way. Nor understand the source of the reasons for this. One thing I am certain of... garbage in equals garbage out. No matter how well intentions are if people don't carry those intentions through to action we're all screwed.
Selfishness is like a disease. It spreads itself starting with one person whom the next says they did to me so the hell with them. Soon others then justify their actions telling themselves everyone else is doing it so why shouldn't I?
Everyone seems to be pointing the finger at everyone else. There's too few left able to see their own reflection in the mirror as to how they are part of the problems they helped create.
Everyone of us make mistakes. The important thing is to admit in most instances many of the bad things that happen are a result of them. Nobody's perfect that's for sure. But this constant finger pointing and justifying as a excuse to continue doing them is carrying ignorance to the extreme. This will neither benefit individuals nor this nation
No one should expect someone outside of themselves will come to the rescue at the end of the day. The bottom line is we are each accountable and will suffer the consequences thereof if we don't care about others as well as ourselves.

Let's Get Rid Of Tip$
Repost
Money Talks.com-- "Customers of Pittsburgh’s Bar Marco restaurant soon won’t have to calculate a tip for their server. The restaurant is implementing a no-tips policy in April."
I'm not sure how all this tipping business got started, but it's long past due to end this practice.
I once had a boss whom my former coworkers complained to why he never complimented them for good work. His reply was "I don't thank my employees for good work. Good work is what I expect from each and everyone of you." While it did tick some of them off it does make perfect sense.
What makes certain occupations different from others?
Take for example, when a cash register operator at the grocery store or a retail clerk rings me up I haven't a compulsion to tip them for doing so. Neither a service repairman. To name just a few of many. Why then a barber, food server, hotel worker, bartender or cab driver?
When someone goes to a store or makes use of a service repairman each of their salaries are already factored in the bill we pay. This is between them and their employer. Why should certain others not be?
Take a restaurant for example. Instead of getting a $10 bill for the food, just make the menu price $11.50 instead (15% more). Other then feeling guilty or sorry for someone because their employer doesn't pay them enough I doubt most people would otherwise leave a tip.
If someone's lousy at their job there are plenty of recourses for employers and customers to make it known to an employee. Just like in any other job where someone doesn't perform well they are left go. Should bartenders, hair stylists, food workers, etc. be treated any differently then the majority of us who do not expect to be rewarded every time we do that which is expected of us?

Auto Industry Making Stupid Loans
Repost
Honda Warns Against ‘Stupid’ Auto Loans-- "A top U.S. executive at Honda Motor Co. said competitors are doing “stupid things” to boost auto sales, including making seven-year-long car loans that harm buyers.
Automakers are increasingly selling vehicles with 84-month loans that reduce monthly payments while making it tougher to repay faster than cars lose value.."
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should
I know one guy bragged how he owed more then his debtors would ever hope to collect if he should die... and he did. Unfortunately his wife, daughter & her husband and all three grandkids living with him were evicted from their home. Along with a camper and the cars were repossessed upon his death as well. Not to mention the companies he dealt with took a bath.
I'm sure he was not alone living years ahead of what he and others will be unable to afford. This isn't good for anyone nor the companies that are foolish enough to play this kind of game. There are plenty of executives who will do all kinds of things to make things appear good on paper. They get a promotion along with a raise. Then leave the company before the shit hits the fan. Then mix, stir and repeat somewhere else.
It's not a matter of if, but rather when. How long do you think this nonsense will last before the whole shebang collapses the entire economy?

How England's Royals Pick Their Names
Repost
Now if all this naming business becomes a bit confusing 'The Official Website of The British Monarch' explains it this way.In other words. Surnames can come from their various 'dynasties', but can also sometimes change due to their 'line of succession'. That is, if they choose to use them at all. Hey, when your royalty you get to make the rules, right? :-)
How The Game Is Played
The line of succession goes from the first born eldest male heir to the throne (Prince Charles). The next in line would be his first born male child (not his brothers). In this case Prince William. Now that William has had a son, that son becomes 3rd in line (knocking Harry out of 3rd place pushing him back to 4th).
Let's mucky this up a bit more. If Prince Charles never had a son his younger brother (Prince Andrew Duke Of York) was 2nd in line to the thrown. However since he has had two sons, Prince William and Prince Henry Charles Albert David (Prince Harry), that pushed Andrew back to 4th place.
Prince Harry was in 3rd in line but now that William & Kate had their baby that pushes him back to 4th and leaving Prince Andrew now 5th in line for the throne. Prince Andrew's 2 kids along with Prince Charles's other brother (Prince Edward Earl of Wessex) are pretty much out of the running as they are now in 6th thru 9th heirs to the throne. They could be pushed back even further if Prince Harry were to have a son sometime in the future. Clear as mud, eh?
Fret not. If your still confused (and who wouldn't be) check out the royal site for the whole scoop on 'succession' and 'precedence' for the royal events. There's also a listing of the current sixteen royal families. In addition check out the currently occupied royal castles and palaces along with the 23 others which are no longer occupied and a whole bunch of other goodies.

Why the Dutch Wait Less at Traffic Lights
Repost
This more efficient flow not only creates improved safety but so too benefits a city's economy. More deliveries can be made in a certain span of time. Less accidents means less costs for emergency services. Less stress for pedestrians, riders and drivers. Greater fuel efficiency. Less traffic of all kinds within a certain time span because many arrive at their destinations before things become backed up.

Every year the United States falls further behind other nations newest innovations.

Never Lie To Your Rabbi
Repost
At Friday night services, Morris goes to his friend Irving and says, "I need a favor. I'm sleeping with the Rabbi's wife. Can you hold him in the synagogue for an hour after services for me?"
Irving is not very fond of the idea, but being Morris' is his very best lifelong friend, he reluctantly agrees.
After services, he strikes up a conversation with the Rabbi, asking him all sorts of stupid questions - just to keep him occupied.
After some time the wise Rabbi becomes suspicious and asks, "Irving what are you really up to?"
Irving, filled with feelings of guilt and remorse confesses to the Rabbi, "I'm sorry, Rabbi. My friend is sleeping with your wife right now, so he asked me to keep you occupied."
The Rabbi smiles, puts a brotherly hand on Irving's shoulder and says, "You better hurry home, Irving. My wife died two years ago!"

It's Impossible To Date The Age Of The Universe
Repost
Presently scientists assume our universe began with a big bang around 13.8 billion years ago. This assumption can be quite easily disproven in several ways.
First we need to understand this figure is entirely based on the "observable universe". This is where questions begin to arise. Whichever direction we on Earth look the farthest light and packets of energy reaching us today are no older then 13.8 billion light years away. This is how long it took for them to get here.
Discarding the big bang "theory" for purposes of this discussion, just what if we on Earth existed several billion years earlier. This would have allowed light and energy the time necessary for it to reach us from far greater distances. Thus the "observable universe" would be far larger and older then what is presently assumed.
There some rather peculiar scientific evidence which supports this. The oldest quasar we can observe in the universe dates back to nearly 13.5 billion years ago. Observations determined it contains many times the amount of iron then that in our own solar system. Here's the rub. It's takes quasars many generations of supernovas over billions of years to form iron. Meaning it had to be around a whole lot longer then 13.5 billion years.
One must also take into account another proven scientific fact. The universe is expanding at an ever increasing rate. Assuming some undiscovered super clusters emitting light were born far earlier then 13.8 billion years ago their continued acceleration would place them near the speed of light. Thus it would take a much greater time to reach here. Quite possibly billions and billions more then 13.8 billion light years. Indeed close to never for some.
The way we express time in the physical universe is the comparison of two "things" in relation to one another. Science has proven the states of physical matter and energy can transform into one or the other and does so all the time. No one need look no further then experiments with these supercolliders to accept this as fact. Energy itself functions beyond physical matter therefore outside of how we measure time. Because of the universe's continuous transmutations between energy and matter it's therefore impossible to express the universe's true age or if it even has one.
