I am getting a little tired of the links I post being downers again, much like when I tried to find positive stories about islam. That petered out real quick for some reason, oh well.
There seems to be a lull in good news, I wonder why the fact that that DOW is over 8000 is not being splashed everywhere? Is it because we hate capitalism so much we will allow the economy to continue to tank so we can intall socialism? If everyone knows that the stock market is coming back, then everyone won't be as happy to have the wealth shared?
I know that if you take money from those that work and give it to those that do not work, sooner or later those that do not work will outnumber those that do, it is common sense.
Cold and rainy here in Chester County pa, back to dong nothing.

Rights or privileges
I was listening to NPR on the way home from work tonight, the topic was gay marriage, I really don't care one way or the other about that, just so churches are backed when they refuse to marry two men or two women against the faith of the church. Anyway, the gay man, yes, he was a gay man, was arguing some point or another and he made the statement that abortion was a 'legal right'. That got me thinking.
No, abortion is not a right, it is legal and it is a privilege. You can get an abortion, but someone has to pay for it. It struck me at that very moment that if you have to pay for something it is no longer a right, surely not an 'inalienable right endowed to us by our creator'.
For instance, one has the right to go from here to California, by walking. Every other mode of transportation is a privilege. We have a right to be secure in our person and property, if we can afford that property, we do not have the right to the property.
Too man people claim that they have the 'right' to one thing or another, it just is not so. People need to grow the heck up.

Americans Vs. The World
Here is the main difference between Americans and the rst of the World. We are strong, we do not pay ransoms, and we know that our government will not pay a ransom, therefore:
Not like the other countries
the above link is to a google page that will then take you to a huge number of ransoms paid by wimp nations.
US crew members have retaken their hijacked ship but their captain is still being held by Somali pirates on a lifeboat, reports say.

Life
Such an interesting time, so much to think about, so much to do, and yet, it seems as if there is nothing to be done. Is our government really changing, or did it change long ago and we are just now noticing. Think about it for a minute with me, when things are good, we ignore the small, incremental changes around us, we just let them happen, thinking that those changes do not affect us. In the'30's it was the WPA, small changes that allowed some to go to work, others to continue working, and still others to pay for that work.
Social Security, a small change that has seem a myriad of small changes over the years, even FDR would be shocked at the extent we have allowed government to rule our 'golden' years.
Parks and public land, incremental changes that resulted in the Supreme Court upholding the taking of land from a private citizen to be given to another private citizen so that citizen #2 could make money.
Yup, we have allowed this to happen to ourselves, and the bringing it back is going to be painful.
we can do this, we have that unique make-up that gives us the drive to fix things, and we are broken, we need fixed.

Treason
Treason includes "aid and comfort to our enemies," and if the following statement is not Treason, nothing is. This statement was not made some basic citizen on the public square in America, not was it made by an American hating Frenchman in France. The statement was made by the American President while talking in a foreign nation...
President Barack Obama has offered an apology for the Bush era, declaring that America had “shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive” towards its allies.
Oh, and the failure to recognize the leadership of europe...this guy is trying so hard to destroy our country. Maybe he should have used this language during the campaign...
