Sometimes when those who are cruel and unjust, they simply need to detroy the eye witness to the occurance. Sometimes this is just enugh to rob a man of all the he has worked so hard to obtain. Sadness ensues and injustice is allowed to rule. Aren't they sworn to keep this type of thing from happening? Well-paid, but still theiving thugs. Will we, as AMERICANS, ever stop the theft and armed robbery?

2012 and the New Horizon.
Each and every year this time comes and goes. Some love the release of another year; others dread what the next turn of the calendar may do to their pocketbooks and families.
I stated that I was not going to use this page to give you too much information about my personal life (isn't Facebook and Twitter for those kinds of things?), so I won't. I will speak of the psychology behind the new year and my philosophical views of what a New Year means to me.
During 2011, I was inundated with a world view I have always hated. It is one of defeatism and horrible attitudes to the tasks at hand and the potentials of the future. This is not new or different. I know I have experienced this world view all the way back into my elementary school years from teachers and fellow students alike. Thought out the last month I have come to coin a term for this belief system and philosophic view: I call it "Hill-Billie Dour-ism".
In this "Hill-Billie Dour-ism" no matter what takes place it can be pushed away with large amounts of alcohol and badly written music played at high volumes. Then, in plan preparations, it does not matter how well prepared one is; the plan will fail anyways because "something" will come out of "no-where" and stop the "perfect plans" from reaching achievement. I feel this must be for making it easier to accept when one does not succeed and then failure from there watered down effort. They do not see that this mindset sets them up for misfortune from the start.
But, if this does not do the desired trick, reveling in the mistakes and failure of others seems to negate the short comings of those who use this world view. To revel in the pain and destruction of others only undermines the whole of societal progress that we need to work on to improve as a society, not destroy.
But the most hurtful element of this world view if the absolute hatred of those who succeed in their hard work and accomplishment with confidence. They hate those who have talent and make money using these talents and find accoplishment . This counts for double and triple if the artist also loves the performance and the work they do. But what is progress without art and music to make it beautiful?
It goes farther than even Sartre's concept of despair. Plus, it lacks the rationalism or reasoning that backed his disparaging world view . At least the French society (that Sartre was immersed in) had just moved out of WWII and the Nazi occupation. We in the United States are rebuilding an economy alone. Much of Europe was trying to rebuild its money flow along with the cities and roads that were destroyed during this world's greatest armed conflict. Sartre also saw that defeatism could only fold in upon itself; just as I do.
I have now made it my goal to keep my thoughts and ideals away from this mindset of Hill-Billie Dour-ism for the new year and the rest of my life. I have let the influence of this mind set and life style effect me far too often in the last few months and years. I know that I can no longer accept this as a way of life. I must block out and stay away from this type of being if I am to find the true happiness and success my life is destined for. I have been through rougher times than any of those who have tried to bring me down. They hate that I have risen above the vile pit they tried to throw me into. Now I must keep my focus clear and continue in this upward momentum with out regard for their want of failure.

We Must Look to Freedom and Peace.
We have given up more freedoms in the name of being safer than anything some angry men in the Middle-East can take from us. We have now allowed congress to pass a law that allows American Citizens to be jailed indefinitely if they are accused of "terrorist actions" with out formal charges or a trail.
Oppression is be the taxation, restrictions, and jailing we will have as a direct cause of an all out invasion of 2 countries, and the fear of counter attacks as a result. One does not hit a hornet's nest if you are afraid of being stung or attacked in the defense of the hive.
How are we free when every action is governed by rules, regulations, and laws? Even having food in your house to feed your family for more than 7 days makes one suspect.... (Forget preparations for in-climate weather or a hatred for shopping often. )
One of the countries we invaded had the culprit, but we did not capture Bin Laden in nearly 10 years! I know I would be angered by a country saying they are assisting to end violence but only precluding it for a longer period of time. The other country we invaded had nothing to do with the 9-11 attacks while the leader of that country just happened to be a guy who eluded the 1st Bush president's attacks during the Gulf War. Why are tax payers having to suffer for presidential arrogance?
We will be held accountable for all the destruction we have cause. And the loss of very real freedoms will be the result. We will no longer be worried about the potential losses. We will simply see it 1st hand and suffer very real consequences if we do not look to see where we can stop the real threats to out freedoms and liberties...

Occupy is Opening the Eyes of the Citizens to Police Brutality
I hate to see those harmed who are trying to make a difference. The Occupiers are doing their best to try to bring accountability to those committing grievous white collar crime; and to gain livable wages to those who are the working backs and hands of the United States economy. I have not been able to risk arrest for practicing my civil rights, but I do give all the support that I can to those taking those taking the risks that I can not.
I know the intent of those occupying the cities through-out America was not to open the eyes of the world to the corruptions, and violence, of the law enforcement of those cities; but they are succeeding. It saddens me to see those who are giving all they are able to give being physically and legally harmed for practicing the rights "protected" in the Bill of Rights. We are seeing the sidestepping of the legality of many of these rights by law enforcement.
I am not sure the media's twisting of the truths make these injustices totally open to the public. We can only hope it will assist in the assistance of fixing this flawed system of 'protection'. A dream come true would be the prison sentences handed down to those violent law enforcement agents who cared not for the physical well-being of those in protest.
Most of my readers know that I was jailed for being the 'wrong religion' in a small town. Don't sit back and also allow peaceful protest and your freedom of speech to be crushed as my right to freedom of religion was. We must stop the corruption and crushing of our rights and United States citizens.

$ For War, and Your Death for FREE. Or Do I Have That Backwards?
The same people who wanted to invade two countries in the Middle East are the same that want to be exempt from paying for it!
I know it has been a deep seeded tradition in America to not pay for the war that was fought. Heck, it was the foundation for creating a new country out from under the rule of the Britain that protected the Americans from the French and Native Americans in the 1700's when Britain needed the funds to recoup. But it does not work this way any more. Bills must be paid and people held responsible.
Is it too much to ask for you to back your commitment to kill innocent women and children with money? I don't think so. You received tax cuts and still wanted a war. Well, you got both. Now it is time to pay back the government that allowed you to not pay for its ability to sustain itself through fiance, and the war you were too naive to know was not engaged to protect you. (And would take far longer to fight than you were told.)
War is one of the most expensive acts a country can take. The soldiers must be trained, paid, fed, armed, and clothed. Equipment needs to be paid for and often gets destroyed and replaced at a high amount of tax payer cost. Plus the cost of heightened security for those who are now at higher risks of danger is paid by your tax dollars.
One can not have the most expensive of everything and not expect to have to pay for it. You can't have a nice house and expect to never pay the mortgage on it. If you want to kill it needs to be expensive.
Shouldn't I be the most upset of all? I was fully against to war or any other form of invasion when our country needs a great deal of work with out this distraction. But I am still having to pay for your decision. But I'm not mad. I saw that it was going to come to pass, and I have been bracing myself for the impact. Why didn't you??

Did you miss me??
I'll be coming back.
I am sorry I have been gone for so long.
I have been working on getting myself into baseball and seeing that politics was pretty well shortening my life.
Stress and anxiety are not good when they do nothing to assist one's level, or attainment, of anything.
Though usually I find this to be a huge flaw in others, I needed to see that my view are far too far from the norm to be accepted in these political climates.
I am far too far from those fitting into perfectly conditioned form, to be able to make an impact. Nor do I want to simply come off as a fringe liberal anger producer.
So, I will be working harder to place more atricles at: baseball so that it assists me in my focus and attainments of my personal peace of mind writing about the sport I love the most.

The Qu'ran is Burning
I have never been in favor of any book burning. No matter how bad a book is, it is still a book and therefore sacred in its own right.
I could never been a Muslim, but I have a great respect for its holy book. The Qu'ran was written around 600 AD and was intended to be a book of laws to keep the society intact.
I agree that it was horrible to view women as property that should be well cared for to make babies. But back in 600 that was about as good as life got for any women. It is a very sad thought to think of this kind of life as not being abused, but it was certainly better than the norm of not being allowed a job but still having to feed yourself with out resources or tools to do so. This frame work allowed for provisions and a growth of the populace. Given it was a time when over-population could not be concept grasped in any way, growth of the population was needed to help defend against very real threats of take over.

Guns Kill
You see a man in a turban holding a machine gun and you think, "Evil, violence, and oppression". You see a white man with a bullet proof vest doing the same thing and you see "protection"? You are an idiot! The white guy is just as capable of "Evil, gross violence, and oppression" as anyone. You just refuse to see the same oppression in a different culture.

China to Rule the World?
If we are to fear the actions of a country outside of the US, shouldn't we move our fear the actions of a few angry people in a couple of poor countries to a real threat with money, numbers, and legit ways and means to attack us, like China and many of the other countries of the East? They have the resources, money, and real weapons of mass destruction. The only thing holding them back is the ability to grow enough food to feed their numbers. If they were to take over the US, they will have more than enough land to grow all the food they need; and there populace is educated at a greater level in high school than most universities in the US educate their students so they would be able to outwit us through technology and other equally valid advances .
What stops this very real threat from attacking us while we are weakened and spending billions on a war of little real consequence? Plus we are now financially indebted to them through our borrowing of billions to help bail-out ill-managed US companies. I really want to know what is keeping us safe?

Freedom Through Killing Never Works
The killing of women and children has got to stop. The war in the Middle-East is unpopular on all fronts; and it is not coincidental that every country who has given aid to the effort has now backed out and will not supply even the slightest of financial aid.
Even to look at it from the selfishness of the United State's front, no longer makes logical sense. We have now lost more soldiers in the war (that was to last six months if it hit snags) than lost civilians in the 9-11 attacks themselves. One can say that they are soldiers and that is a risk that they take. But this is a large number of lost lives in a war that looks to have the same reputation as Vietnam. This number is without going into the numbers of soldiers who survived their injuries but can no longer enjoy life because of life altering disabilities they have because of the conflict.
This war is much more expensive than Vietnam; and is taking place during one of the largest recessions seen by any member of the current population. It is well upon its way to bankrupt this country. Or, at the very least, leave the future generations with a gigantic national debt.
Although many will try to say that we are fighting for our freedoms, I have to strongly disagree. I will never make light of the lost innocent lives on US soil, but there has been a much greater taking of innocent lives by US troops. (I know they are only following orders and are also fighting to protect their own lives during their own deployments.) But, the innocents killed in the war because of US occupation equals nearly sixteen 9-11s!! Plus the utter destruction of their country and any chance of a recovery in the next 20 years is something that a United States citizen can not fully grasp because they have (and hopefully never will) experience anything like it!
Our freedom is secure. If we hold strong, and do not allow the freedoms we do posses to be taken from us, no foreign threat can take us. If the loss of less than 3,000 innocents can take away our freedom, our freedom is not strong enough to stand on its own anyways. If we do not tear ourselves apart from the inside we can stand a chance; but no amount of military force will be able to secure freedoms that must not exist if we fear their removal so easily. Especially when our response has invasions of third world counties, making the US look like a group of rich warmongers more then true freedom loving individualists coming together to have the greatest country on earth. To stand strong and show we are not afraid would be the showing real bravery and freedom from a powerful first world country!
If we do not give up the rights, as given to us by our Founding Fathers, because we fear who may use them to gain liberty and pursuit of happiness before we can; we will never stop being a free country. We must stop the needless killing and the surrendering of our rights. Neither are freedom nor Liberty. Once we turn both back to the direction our country was founded upon, can we will once again be a free and Liberated United States of America! The free-est country the world has every hoped to have!
