Victory

   If we lived in a comic book world, President Obama would be the hero that doesn't use weapons or money to win; or be the victor. He would be the hero that everyone knew, but didn't always know what he was doing. We do know that we will likely be safe under his watch.
   If the antagonist somehow gained the power I would feel like his true agenda, whether it be stated or hidden, would be either a Mormon state, or more Republican warmongery. His underwear alone could get us nuked. He could set up a system of buttons to be pushed whenever a voice of dissent squeaks, that instantly vaporizes them; at his whim. He could finally admit that he wants to be friends with no one. He could pick fights with Iran, or secretly build an army of American defectors living in Mexico (and the ones' that have friends who have been deported). Of course this type of evil overlord is always thwarted because he forgets that there are only defectors and deportees because of him.
   We do not live in a comic book world. In the real world, the better man won -even in the opponent's own state. I am laughing and crying at the same time because I learned that money did not buy Mr. Obama's position, despite being out spent by upwards of $50 million. America has spoken, much to the dismay of a little less than half of the population. While those people are busy spitting, cussing, screaming, or fervently jamming God's mailbox with questions or perhaps questionings, I will try not to get irritated to the point of saying something like, "How in the world could you have missed it so badly?" Or, "Why can't you ask God to assemble your brain to completion so you won't lose every time?" That would be mean.  I would rather keep things in order.
   Personally I have more spring in my step today. To many of us, today could be considered "The Day After". I, on the other hand lean more toward the crowd that does not want to pick fights with nuclear states, which could very well result in "The Day After"
   This outcome is one more piece of evidence that we really don't want to turn around on the path and neither sit down nor walk backward.

Intervention

I had a neighbor once, who over time became a friend. This is what I learned of him and from him over the course of five years. He went to the most elite private schools in the city, and attended The University of Alabama. He was the heir apparent to his father's insurance business, and like his parents, belonged to high society. He was married to a judge's daughter, and they had two daughters together. His life was what most would consider great. He had everything a man  could ever wish into being. His only problem was a lingering taste for alcohol that was a large part of college life, and also the life of society. Like most, a minor drinking problem was not hard to hide; but only until it grew into an unmanageable force. By the time he knew that his drinking had become a problem, his wife had already taken her heart back and given it to another. It was a classic case of being physically present but emotionally absent. He was none the wiser until his wife presented him with

Representation 101

On April 19, 2013 I wrote my U.S. Representative, Jo Bonner (R) a letter containing questions about CISPA (H.R. 624). I generally expect to recieve a form letter in return for my thoughts, but this time I got something a little better. I read over the bill after it had flown through the House, and while it was still on a few American minds. My questions were based on the following: Page 10 - line 5-24 "Federal Government in accordance with subsection (b)- (A) for cyber security purposes; (B) for the investigation and prosecution of cyber security crimes (C) for the protection of individuals from the danger of death or serious bodily harm and the investigation and prosecution of crimes involving such danger of death or serious bodily harm; (D) for the protection of minors from child pornography, any risk of sexual exploitation, and serious threats to the physical safety of minors, including kidnapping and trafficking and the investigation and prosecution of crimes involving c

U.S. vs. Iran: What are we missing?

There is constant chatter and media alarm in the US concerning Iran. As usual, we are fed the information that is not only one-sided, but is mostly a smoke bomb hiding many of the fouls that we have commited against a country that is not very different from some of our "allies" in the region. Actually, the media has made a conscious decision to ignore the facts, and keep them distorted for propaganda reasons. Iran and the US have an ugly history and today, the history has turned to a selective dismantling of a potentially great nation. Iran, and the region it was born in began around 3,200 BCE. Iran reigns as one of the oldest, major continuous civilizations. America on the other hand was established around 1776. That means that a culture, effectively five thousand years older than ours has an edge, and is certainly more well defined. Even our European counterparts can't compete with that. Iranian culture, though battered and abused, remains intact, and that is much mor
