“Jobs” or else!
“Education” or else!
“Afghanistan” or else!
“Greenhouse Gas” or else!
“National Budget Deficit” or else!
“etc.” or else!
America is tired of “Or Else’s”!
Will America, that is “the citizens of America”, stand up and fight for anything?
Will the citizens just talk?
Everything, foreign policy not excluded, is just talk….endless negotiations.
America needs to know what we want to fight for…….that is:….. some Americans want to do nothing except talk…..and negotiate.
America has to decide which it wants!
“Healthcare” is a prime example. Some people want to talk more, others want action. Some want to plan ahead! There are “poles” that show America doesn’t want the present policy to be accepted by the populous.
“Poles” are used by some “fore”; and, by others, “against”. Since there is no “clearing house for poles”; all poling data is suspect. So, the Media is the arbiter. There is no “clearing house” for the media. Now what?
Some people voted for the non-defined “change”. Now America is changing! Do you like what’s happening? If not, what are you willing to do about it?
More demonstrating? ….. more meaningless arrests?
Unhappily this “country change” is happening throughout the world. What are they doing about it?
The youth of this country has been coddled and taken care of. But now hard times are upon us and the youth are not ready to accept “hard times”! Partly to blame is the school system. They hardly even recognize “hard times”! The teachers even have a hard time recognizing the change in jobs and the economy. Who will teach the teachers?
The young adults are quite positive…….about everything. What direction will they take?..... all out guns and revolution; more radical demonstrations against anything and everything; continuing, pleasing, form for more “diplomacy”, or a complete sense of “relinquish everything”….. the Constitution, everything!
Among the many are the young adults, the college age adults, the adult men and women whose minds are fixed and made up, are the people who regularly go out and complain. They offer no solutions just complaints.
Which way will America go?
(We have learned ever so little from our own history! Who learns history anyway!)

#7900 - #32 -We want No More “Or Else’s”!
No more “Budget Deficit” else’s!
No more “Health Care” else’s!
No more “Education” else’s!
No more “Anything” else’s!
No more “Afghan” else’s!
No more “Jobs” else’s !
America is tired of “Or Else’s”!
For years we’ve been threatened with “Or Else”. Isn’t anyone prepared to do something besides threatening us with an “Or Else”?
No more “Health Care” else’s!
No more “Education” else’s!
No more “Anything” else’s!
No more “Afghan” else’s!
No more “Jobs” else’s !

#7900 - #31 - Are you dumb, stupid or intractable
Is your mind already made up and all you can do is give your opinion without fact!
You have had your victory and you have had “change”.
Can you find a place in your reasoning to say that “G.W. Bush was not the source of all the evils that beset the present administration”.
Can you, at least, have a two way discussion of sources for these facts?
They say that having a stable home life and a reasonably good education can make you eligible for the jobs that may come. That literally means that there are no drugs or little alcohol in the house. It also means that waiting for sex is a good idea. To love your child no matter what he/she does is NOT such a grand idea! If he/she is a murderer, a rapist, a robber, a seller of dope; to reinforce this conduct cannot be easily defended.
A good education cannot be easily achieved. Who’s going to be their teacher? Is their reasonable conduct in the school? Are the parents involved?
Is reason and logic taught? How can the student be involved with more mature workmen? Does “conflict resolution” have to be approached before the worker enters the new workplace? Is this student ready to enter the new job market?
Before any decent discussions can be had the student has to be “trained”. School has to mean something! The parent(s) must be taught that school means something! “No parents” means “no schooling”. How to get parents into the school setting remains an issue.
More money for schools hasn’t worked. Smaller class size hasn’t worked. Well, here’s an important question. Here is something worthwhile to discuss.
Jobs, jobs, that’s what’s on everyone’s mind. Who’s to work this new opportunity?
What is the “National Interest”? What is “National Security”? Here are other topics for worthwhile discussions. Not Tiger, or Brittany but worthwhile discussions. Is the Nations’ security threatened by Iraq or Afghanistan? Why not Pakistan, Syria or North Korea?
The Nation needs discussion ... meaningful, worthwhile discussions. Without education in “reason and logic”, without “training” in “conflict resolution”, this nation can no longer rest on their locally elected representatives. We do indeed need “change”! This time, the author hopes, that “change” will mean something!
Without the training in schools from where do the discussions come? Even the adults need the same training in “logic and reason”!
How come some adults need the “search for the more successful alternative”; and instead of adding to the din of rhetoric; they are willing to discuss rather than merely add to the noise?
The media is expert at stressing the latest topics of infidelity, drugs, and scam artists. How come we can’t get more of America interested in what’s really important...The dollar Media has!
To be polite…..To take a closer look at your appearance….To resolve conflict by words rather than by actions ….To treat a fellow employee with respect…. Where do you learn these things? This is what determines who gets the jobs!

#7900 - # 30 - Has America lost it’s will “to fight” or “stand up” for anything?
Once upon a time the majority of the voting public elected an accomplished orator on an undefined word “change”. They didn’t like the actual definition. The newly elected government filled the media with such things as The Green Thing, Health Care, the Budget Deficit, Afghanistan, Jobs, etc. All were interesting but were not the important thing. The important thing was the change in the power of the American Government!
No longer were the citizens to choose the Medicare services they wished, no longer were they in charge of the Budget Deficit, no longer did they understand what the “greening” of the world entailed and no longer did they realize that the American Way was threatened!
What some realized, that they had made a horrendous error. What others realized, that they made a mistake but they would never admit it!
So, we’re stuck. Our foreign policy is not fully acceptable, our Budget Deficit is unknown, and what we’re going to have to sacrifice is also unknown. So we’re stuck!
So now the media strikes!
Jobs, jobs, the national deficit, Tiger Woods, etc. upon etc.
All, very interesting but NOT the real issue!
The Republicans have suddenly found religion but they can’t forget they’re a party just like the Democrats. It’s still Party politics!
The Government abounds in party rhetoric! Each party blames the other. Listen to the speeches on T.V.
No one has an answer! But, we’ve organized the public to rely on the Government….for everything!
It’s a bad situation and most voting people know it!
The “minority” voting people have a way to go. They can use their judgment…..their discernment!
The “majority” voters want to turn their backs and not admit anything.
The rest of the people are interested more in their families, their jobs and their incomes and their need to do anything is diminished.
But America, at least up to now, has relied on it’s inventiveness….. to discover new industries. … new things … new ways to do more business! Do the new proposed policies offer hope in this new administration? Or, is it party politics as usual!
Can the Government change?
Does the hope in the new elections give us hope?
Will the vote count more on substance than on an undefined word?

#7900 - #29 – When did the younger generation become a collection of “Ho-hummers, unable to properly make a decision?
Not all “Ho-hummers” are “older”…..(People with little to do except complain.)
We have spawned a whole generation of younger “Ho-hummers”!
They live off their parents.
They have little or no employment.
They like to yell out and demonstrate!. …. (although this has little or no final effect on the outcome.)
Some of them go to school, although I can’t see why. (All they seem to have is a good time!)
Some of them have a good schooling. (although modern industry can’t seem to make a profit from just this output.)
Some even voted or took actions for their candidate without using the basics of their education and demanding an explanation of the “definition of change”. (They just voted for a celebrity.... a hope!)
So you see there is such a thing as a “younger Ho-hummer”!
Yes! …..They do have an influence in the nation’s policies.!
What do you do about it?
Certainly you can charge rent!
Certainly you can insist on employment! … (Some kind of a regular schedule… anything but “free time!))
Certainly you don’t have to “love” them when they do a horrible crime. (“But I always will “love” him..”)
Know “when and what” they’re demonstrating about!..... (If they even know…..?)
Ask them why they are going to school? ….. (and then insist on what they tell you.)
If they are your enemies, then treat them as such.
If they are still your friends, share with them as much as you can. Show some interest despite your schedule. With your friends, you show interest. Why not with your kids?
Do you want to be an adult Ho-hummer or a younger Ho-hummer? Do you want to be either?

#7900 - #28 – In the last election there were three types of Americans – Democrats, Republicans and the “Ho-hummers”
The “Ho-hummers” were too busy with their kids or their budgets etc. or they thought their input wouldn’t make a difference. They were “WRONG”! They are now called “the independents”. They were the bulk of the “independent voters” that could have changed the election. They didn’t know that they missed the “definition” of “change”! They just didn’t vote.
We are already aware of the number of voters namely the Democrats and the Republicans in the total vote.
They remain the people who willingly gave up their desire for “definition”. The “definition” of the word “changes”?..... What type?.... When were we to experience the “changes”?..... Apparently the man we “anointed” didn’t tell us the definitions of the word “changes”….. nor did we ask the question. We simply voted for “the man”.
The missing ingredient in America is the ability to ask good questions….. to discern.
Through laziness, lack of focus on the important things, through the reliance on the T.V. and the public media, America has lost its “focus”! The people are involved in music, celebrities, their budgets, etc. not on the real important issues of today.
Why?
The majority of the so-called “electorate” voted for the image of a man who represented “change”. He did not specify what kind of “change” nor did he represent when these changes would materialize. The so-called majority was entranced by the “celebrity” status. They were not interested in anything important. They did their duty and voted. Later they missed the “discussion”, the “definition”, the important item of what they were voting for……But that was “later”, after they had “anointed” the man.
The “Ho-hummers” never cared one way or another. “Let the government take care of us!” Although they represented a mixture of “I don’t cares” and “Too busy with their own problems”, they did, indeed, find out they were the “swing vote” in the elections….. AFTER!
But it was too late!
Do you want to be the ill-informed “majority” or do you want to be an ill-informed “Ho-hummer”????
The question of today is:
WHOSE TO PAY FOR ALL THIS?..... and, WHERE DOES THE MONEY COME FROM?
