Dallas Cowboys

How about them Cowboys?

Ask Jerry Jones. Then ask the sad sack head coach that wanders the sidelines like a lost Santa Claus, Wade Phillips. He waddles back and forth and seems lost in space from my viewpoint. He rarely wears his headset and probably wonders what the voices mean when he does. Does he carry a piece of paper around with him that looks like it might have the roster of players on it? Maybe in his pocket?

I don’t get it. Wake up Jerry! Your head coach has red hair and is calling the  game, why not admit it? Get off the field and let your team play the game. Your special teams coordinator runs up and down the sideline and coaches his guys the best he can. Is Wade thinking about a ham and cheese sandwich he left in the locker room?

The game the Cowboys just lost to the Arizona Cardinals was a pathetic display of poor coaching. It happened against Washington and it will happen again if Jason Garrett isn’t promoted to position of head coach. Wade can make Gatorade and hand out towels if the thought enters his mind. The old guy doesn’t seem to have the reins in hand.

The Dallas Cowboys have the talent to win a Super Bowl but don’t have a head coach to lead them. Bill Cowher would be a kickass head coach for the Cowboys and needs the job. Any coach that can inspire would be a good choice for me. He is a cocky little guy that will stand toe to toe with those super stars and put them in their place. Santa doesn’t put the same fire into them The Tuna did.
I would love to hear the NFL Network’s opinion concerning the manner.

How unprepared can they be for other games that should be smackdowns? Fumbles, sacks and penalties are killing them and they are playing as if they have no will to win. The only time I see them fired up is when there is a sense of urgency. They should play all 60 minutes with urgency.

Folk can hit a 55 yard field goal dead center but anything in the 30-40 yard range is in danger. The missed field goal was the game.

What is the offensive line coach doing during game time? Listening to the same Lawrence Welk Muzak on his headphones that Wade does? He must because Romo is eating dirt every play. Aikman and Staubach had too many concussions and Danny White suffered a few as well. Do ya wanna go a round of deja vu?

Jerry, get the kindly old timer off the field and put the red haired guy up front. He knows what is going on during the game. You used to pay him to ride the pine, pay him to run your team.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY?!

I have been to numerous fireworks shows – my father used to moonlight for good cash and do those shows while he was in the military. The best one I ever remember seeing was in the 1960s. We lived in Libya and the shows were shot off over the Mediterranean sea while all of those watching were on blankets, towels or whatever on the beach. He did them everywhere we lived and I learned the technical side; basically cool for an adolescent military brat.

Second to that was the time I went to the Mall in DC and had a day of wall to wall people. Like Mardi Gras, I suggest it for the young and all should attend once. I went in the 1980s – my girlfriend’s parents even dragged me downtown for Reagan’s second inauguration back then. I guess you gotta do it all if you live here. What!?? You don’t like CRABS!!!

I got to see the Beach Boys perform a full concert way back in time. The fireworks were the icing on the cake after checking out the . Back in the days before the WWII memorial (like there are not enough memorials on the mall) displaced the beauty of the Mall the works were shot up over the reflecting pool and that was the place to be. The show took place directly overhead and the little silver and gold sparkling embers fluttered down to the point you could almost touch them.
I’ve had a seat on a rooftop of a 10-story building a dozen blocks away as well as watching them from across the Potomac river near Arlington memorial cemetery – underneath is the best.

I’ve gotten into watching the annual Maryland public television program “A Capitol 4th” over the past few years. I enjoy seeing the entertainment on the west lawn of the capitol building that I would never have a chance to see otherwise. The National Symphony Orchestra is a staple and is one of the best, in my opinion.

I don’t know about the rest of my fellow citizens but, I get a warm fuzzy feeling when I hear Patriotic standard tunes such as “Stars and Stripes Forever”, “God Bless America”, “America the Beautiful”, “National Anthem” and a dozen more when played by by a full symphony orchestra such as the NSO.
I hear and feel the emotion behind the words and musical notes and it takes me away from present day America.

What do I mean?!

I don’t know how anyone in their sane minds can feel any patriotism for the sorry excuse of a government that WE,THE PEOPLE vote into the White House, senate and congress. This has to be the low point of American government for the ages.

Tomorrow, all of the “4th of July” magic will be gone save for the fact it is a 5 day weekend for most federal employees and the rest of America that will continue to swill beer until Sunday night.

When did WE, THE PEOPLE decide that we couldn’t have our own simple fireworks – firecrackers and bottle rockets – for this holiday??! This is but one freedom lost to the political machine with the assistance of lawyers. What else is to follow? I can count a few already.

Does anyone feel that patriotic magic at any other time of the year? It’s not like our over-commercialized fake Christmas season that goes on for 60 days. The majority of you get more worked up about that than being Americans as it is. Christmas starts the day after Halloween and ends January 1 = 60 days. The majority of people that take part in all of the festivities are not Christians. They may claim to be but, it is merely a part of our society that has become a festive custom with no thought of who. what when, where or why. Show me in any bible where it is written that Christmas is to be an observed “HOLY DAY” and I will look further and write about it. It was against the law to celebrate the holiday in this country at one point.
Cards, present, decorations, special clothes and parties…that’s Christmas. Most know the words to several carols but can’t recite the Pledge of Allegiance.

I pledge allegiance to the Flag
of the United States of America,
and to the Republic for which it stands:
one Nation under God, indivisible,
With Liberty and Justice for all.

The latest assault on our patriotic heritage is the want to remove the two words “under GOD” from this pledge of patriotism as some think it is against their better judgment. The ACLU has been taking an active part in this move to erode a very wee part of America – a part that most people have no contact with to begin with. The following is Eisenhower’s words when changing the wording …

“In this way we are reaffirming the transcendence of religious faith in America’s heritage and future; in this way we shall constantly strengthen those spiritual weapons which forever will be our country’s most powerful resource in peace and war.”

If we read of very early American history, the reason so many Europeans to made the trip is in these words.

Those that want to change it are the same people that worry about the Political Correctness of our very lives. Get off of it folks – read The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution instead. Base your “feelings” – where feelings come into play, I dunno – upon the written word the government of this country is based. There is no crying in baseball and there is no allowance to tear down the fabric of this country on behalf of PC either.

As for the Republican weenies that are trying to push “Truth, Justice and the American Way” onto the rest of the world – unconstitutionally – be ready to tumble. I certainly hope and pray that my fellow countrymen are learning to put down their TV remotes and beer so that they may re-educate themselves about the political process. Get your friends and family registered to vote and let’s get this train back on its tracks.

If you were born in this country and are at least 35 years of age you are eligible to run for president of the USA. If the selection we have to pick from is the very best and brightest this country has to offer we are, quite frankly, FUCKED.
The two party system is ineffective and the results of such can be seen by the “war” we are five hundred billion dollars in debt to.
WE, THE PEOPLE have to vote at every election so that the old wood is lost and new minds can start to legislate. There are far too many professional politicians on Capitol hill with tenures of 20 years or more. And doing what?? Google congress or the senate and look at the years of the individual’s tenure.

My favorite presidential candidate to point out is Ron Paul from TX. He is an old goat; where has he been with all of his political genius for the past 30 years?? He is now the tool of the internet crowd that have as much of a clue as he does. This guy is their political saviour?

I have come to learn that the more one is detested for no reasons, the more they are a threat to the status quo. The status quo is dangerous in two respects as it can be the same old bald tire about to go flat in one sense or the knife that is slicing away the prime cuts and leaving nothing but bone in another. Either way, it is a system that is wholly inefficient.

Back to the main point…will you feel the same about your country in two months as you did today when you watched the fireworks?
If no, why?

Think of how a child stares in wonderment of a fireworks display and has no idea at all why it is there. He has yet to learn why he lives in a cornucopia which the rest of the world desires; in some regards. At least he was free to watch the fireworks and hopefully went home with his parents to sleep in a nice bed.

The Man of Steel

I watched the movie “Superman Returns” last night and what a great piece of cinema. I watched the Disney film “Sky High” the night before and was fully entertained by a flick that has no need for gratuitous sex scenes for kids to wonder about.
The new Superman wins easily as it picked up the droll tale that was spinning along year after year. The first big save was brilliant and left me laughing and clapping all along. That was a real Superman feat that makes Superman fun.

One thing I had a problem with was the conversational context of the father to son relationship. It was as derived from the new testament of the Bible and eerie at times. If one is familiar with Bible content it is quite evident. Whether this was done on purpose or not I have no idea but I thought about it.

Other than that, I had no problems with any of the flick at all as Superman still stands for truth, justice and the American way even if it is another set of actors that portray the roles. I could do without Kate Bosworth as Lois Lane but Brandon Routh is a good superman.

Conspiracy Theories

I love the tone implied by those that refer to any that mention what is equal to conspiracy as THEORISTS – basically nuts with no idea of what is wrong or right.
I am in that sector and sure, there are some that are really out there. For the most part, those that look for explanations and reasonings other than that which is digested so readily by the masses, are exercising their God given right of questioning the hidden agenda of their fellow man. Remember “The X-Files?”
I am not one to “stay the course” as the president of the US suggests. I don’t know who OUR “enemies” are. He and those that follow his mantra love to use that expression but, who are our enemies? Who are HIS enemies?

I can take an educated guess and say the $500,000,000,000.00 that has been spent enabling a civil war on the other side of the world was more than military funding. Some entity of the world wanted to transfer a large amount of cash from one hand to another. Was the USA blackmailed or are we OWNED?
Just 40 years ago we were in a war in Vietnam and the troops did for themselves there. There were no multi-million dollar contracts for housing, feeding, laundry, or the other parts of a soldiers life that are performed by others as in Iraq. I am a military brat, my father was a training instructor/war veteran and I have seen how the military has changed. I have also watched the change in the governmental policies that dictate how we are to live our lives.
In his 1961 inaugural speech JFK said -
“And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you–ask what you can do for your country.”
That was cool but, then he opened his mouth and continued -
“My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.”

Further, this heartfelt speech also held the prelude of the goal of our country to go forth and meddle -
” Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty. To those people in the huts and villages of half the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves, for whatever period is required–not because the communists may be doing it, not because we seek their votes, but because it is right.
If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.”

With those words he well paved the way for the ideals held by those that put us into any of the following wars such as Vietnam as well as the middle eastern foibles of today. JFK had the good sense to back down during the “Bay of Pigs” incident but, was that his downfall?

We will never know the truth concerning his death – I for one, do not believe Oswald was the lone trigger man. I suppose that is a conspiracy for the ages. The Zapruder film, held by the government for a long time is very telling for me. JFK was shaking up the system as did RFK and MLK. They were 3 high profile figures that were to be more than prominent in the cause for civil rights. Then, as now, there is a ruling class that has the final say. Ultimately, it comes down to one’s holdings or a status of class – in this case it is the have’s and the havenots.
That’s more conspiracy talk, right?

Ask yourself honestly….Why does a lot of the evidence point to the side of the theorists whereas the Bush supporters are prone to speaking like Bush and repeating themselves over and over?

I just saw “Fahrenheit 9/11″ for the first time tonight and thought it brilliant. Combine that with “Loose Change” and the Bush administration smells like SHIT - and rightfully so.
I wasn’t born yesterday; I know much of World/USA political history and the way in which individuals think. Why any man or woman thinks their 60 years of life on this planet is so important is a laughing joke.
Here are some questions that may lead to conspiracy theories.
What does W think he can accomplish in the middle east other than steal oil from another country? What does it matter after he is dead?
Bush rallied the “Religious Right” for his last campaign didn’t he? He had all of the red states.
If he was truly a Christian – he claims to be – he would know that efforts to provoke a “religious” war is not in his realm. If he had read his bible he would know better.
BTW – That’s not a theory.
Michael Moore’s film exposes so much of the entire Bush family I wonder how any of them can hold a public office. Any close to them are tainted.

Any man, woman or child that claps as a seal in support of the man’s insanity are as those that supported Hitler to his rise as Der Feurher.
How far from that level of ruling is he?

Open letter to Al Gore….

Dear AL,

What agenda are you trying to prove with your wild allegations of GLOBAL WARMING? It is quite the buzzword that politicians are attaching to their political platforms and people listen because it is the latest and greatest imaginary FEAR FACTOR. Are you merely trying to gain your way back into the public eye or do you really think you have what a fisherman may refer to as “THE BIG ONE” on the line? I think you have a “CATCH and RELEASE” license, big guy, as you are actually serving part in raising the price of gasoline – over $3 gallon today in the DC metro area and most likely not coming down.
That corn alcohol fuel additive your ilk is so favorable of actually lowers fuel mileage, as does the oxygenated gasoline we find at our pumps in the fall and winter months. Do the math with me on this one…if a car gets 20 mpg with the unadulterated 87 octane gasoline and the mileage drops to 18 mpg with either the oxygenated or corn blend, what is really happening?
Can’t answer? I didn’t think so. That change in the fuel mixture is causing the engine to dump more emissions into the air as it is not as efficient as it was before the fuel mixture was altered.

I have a better goal for you; far better. Our television and radio airwaves are constantly bombarded with commercials for trucks, trucks and more trucks with more torque and horsepower than the other model. This means the engines are larger, use more gas and emit more pollutants into the air.
The answer to this is to downsize our vehicles as the manufacturers did in the early 1970s so that we will, once again, have smaller autos in this country that are fuel efficient and using less gasoline thus, less crude oil.
The beauty of this is the start of these vehicles already exist!!
Yes, Daimler-Benz manufactures what is know as the SMART car; currently in Europe and should be here in the USA driven by commuters that sit in hour(s) long traffic jams on a regular basis in most metropolitan areas such as DC, NYC, Philly, Boston and LA.
http://auto.howstuffworks.com/smart-car.htm

I can imagine the EPA wants to slap some emission equipment on it which equals federal taxes. If someone can explain to me why a vehicle that can get 40-50 mpg needs emission equipment, in a sensible manner, I may believe it. I think 40-50 mpg is emission controls.

As far as global warming, I live in the DC metro area and I see no proof of it. Sure we had a late winter but, the local weather mouths on television are going on about how cool of a spring we are in. It has been this way for the past 5 years.

Mr. Gore,
I have lived in MD for 30 years. I have seen a change in weather patterns but nothing that could be classified as “GLOBAL WARMING”. In the infinite hours, days, months and years spent researching your global catastrophe did you ever think there may be a slight chance that the weather patterns of the world may change or did your research predict the weather was a constant from alpha to omega? Most of all GLOBAL WARMING models that these studies are based on are 2-3 centuries at the most. You nor I could be seen from a commercial airliner at a cruising altitude of 35K ft unless a sensor’s lens was configured to do so as the craft flew overhead at 500 mph. We are but specks of dust on this rock; one century’s weather seasons out of most likely millions is as a single fire ant from a nest of them.

I saw the Potomac frozen over like a bridge in 1978. I remember times when it was so cold the marinas would freeze and spit the boats out of the water and up onto the ice until it thawed. I remember summers of years past that had months of consecutive 100 degree days. Not any longer.
I don’t know where the polar caps are in dire straits and Canada is solid ice near the pole.
Picture yourself in a typical 20′x40′ backyard swimming pool. If someone slid two 500 lb blocks of ice in each end simultaneously would it be catastrophic? That would be 1/2 ton of ice – frozen water – the same as ten 100 lb people joining you; would the pool overflow? No.

Cease trying to scare everyone with rising tides that claims beaches. One of the hurricanes that blow by the east coast does that by itself. Flooding suggested by global warming is equivalent to 1/2 again the volume of water already on the earth’s surface being dumped in the seas. There isn’t that much ice on the planet.

As far as hydrocarbons and carbon dioxide; I suggest YOU pay YOUR friends at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue a visit and come to an agreement about the future of photo-voltaic energy. If, as your think tank suggests, we are supposedly burning alive under the sun, we may as well push on for the development of harnessing that energy in a far more efficient manner than what is at present.

One of the truly unfruitful dilemmas the world faces is clearing land for the sake of clearing land. Leave the trees. I have no idea of the true figures of the Amazon rain forest that has been leveled but more locations than that are being leveled because we can. A copse of trees in any locale is far better than flat land or lawn. People should be educated in that manner and not with impending doom.

Air pollution is inevitable unless we are to close shop and camp out without any of what we take for granted today. Then again, solar energy could eliminate a lot of it.

Death, Murder, War, Guns and Stuff

I live about 200 miles from VA Tech and have driven by it several times. A student at the college with more than one loose screw basically assassinated over 30 other people in a building before doing what has become the recipe followed by every one of these loose nuts that try to make a statement in that fashion – the pussy shot himself before he could face accountability.

I know more about suicide than I need as my Pop checked out in that manner. He didn’t point a gun at another, he did it alone as he was in pain I cannot imagine due to cancer. I was royally pissed off at him for years but I have forgiven him. It hurt my family and I but, so did his cancer. He was my Dad and if he couldn’t take it any longer I accept it. He was drinking morphine syrup for pain and that must not have been enough. I figure he was tired of waiting to die.

Animals in the wild have the opportunity to walk away and lie down to die when they feel the need to. That is dignified as far as I am concerned. If a human tried to do the same a crew of EMT s would
drag that person via ambulance to a hospital and prolong that life.
Two points I have always thought of in this situation.
ONE – If that person is alone in life, why is the life prolonged?
TWO – If there is family, who is the person being kept alive for? Do we keep our relatives alive on respirators and feeding tubes for themselves or because we are too selfish to let them pass on? It hurts to lie in a bed virtually dead. My mother signed a living will, years before, that prevented that from happening to her and I had to honor and execute her wishes. She died while I looked in her eyes. I have much the same written for myself – I told my brother and sisters to make sure I was gone and not just taking a 48 hr nap.
Suicide is sometimes the only way out for people dying and in physical PAIN. Western medicine won’t allow them to die. I question the mentality behind that.

BACK to VA TECH – We are living among people who are twisted beyond any reason conceivable inside. Several people – mostly deep thinking liberal philosophical types – insist on convincing me evil does not exist, it is something for therapy because that person has problems.
PROBLEMS?!! WTF!!
These are people that walk into colleges, public schools, restaurants or any other place they think they may be getting someone’s attention and start dumping clips of ammo into innocents; killing or wounding them as if by some driven demons. Again the pussy shoots himself before he can tell us why. I consider it an exorcism of sorts though it would be nice to hear it from the mouth of the vessel the evil is residing in before that point. It may be the Demons have used him and left him there with the reality of what has just happened and it is just too much to live with for a minute more.

Be secure in the thought that piece of shit at VA TECH had to plan what he did very thoroughly. How many demons was he harboring and why? There will be a lot of questions asked and answered within the next year.
I had a conversation with a friend of mine who majored in psychology years ago and has taken it further. His first thought was to find out if Mr CHO was taking psycho depressant chemicals. He stated Prozac as one that causes those that take it to become numb to whatever they may be acting out. They aren’t depressed any longer so the medicine works. Rave on!

AS far as my compassion towards the students that were shot down -
I pray for the entire world as we all need it. Not just me or another; all of us.
I am more sincere than the obligatory “our prayers are with those people” that you will hear in the media because mine are with us all. You might not have ever known, but I tell God- yes, I speak to Him everyday – to spread my share towards all evenly, even your dogs. If you don’t like it, too bad because they are coming at you anyway.
World Peace is a load of crap until it actually happens. Miss America can parrot that stupid quip forever but does Miss America know reciprocal mathematics? Most likely, no.

The Washington DC area news stations are whores for raising fear and terror to a “Fever Pitch” for no reason at all and prove very successful in their efforts. Is it merely to keep us informed?
They have a way with the fear factor that spills over to the rest of the nation.
I heard such headlines as “In light of what has happened in Blacksburg, local schools are rethinking how they can stiffen security on their campuses.” They were implying public schools.
At some point the day after there was a reporter and camera crew chasing students around the campus of the American University and asking them their opinions of how safe they felt on their campus and if they thought the same could happen there.
Do you ever feel the need to throttle the neck of another “Homer Simpson style?”

The news stations started questioning gun laws – predictably – for no reason at all.
If I were at a counter in a department store and displayed a loaded pistol, baseball bat, knife, an ax and a pit bull terrier to you…which would you consider the most dangerous?

Most knee jerk reaction is going to point to the gun and the dog. That is learned media mentality.
The weapons are inanimate objects and the pit bull terrier happens to be the most friendly of all breeds when trained correctly. Mine is an angel – and is going on 11 years of age while being my companion dog. – Check out my Pic/Avatar -
Here is a shocking tip that most owners of the breed would never want you to know…They are fantastic alarm dogs and horrible guard dogs. After barking and raising hell they will jump into an open car door just to go for a ride somewhere.
The role of a normal family dog this is this breeds strong suit.
Considering they can’t use a gun or knife, don’t B&E to rob you, don’t rape your women, don’t use heroin, smoke crack and don’t drink and drive…Wow, they can’t even roll a joint to smoke weed!
What is the big deal with them? Buster Brown’s dog Tide, Petey and endless years of people owning them are erased because some in our society can’t behave as well as dogs can.

Some in our society can’t behave.

What does that mean? I consider it a total disregard for others of the world; a basic disregard of civility. Bullies that beat on others, steal and kill are good examples of this behavior and why we have laws and prisons to curb and house them.

Would those folks be of the mindset to pick up one of those inanimate objects and make them dangerous?!
Of course. It is part of that behavior pattern. I have a gun and I haven’t seen it in a while. I would wager there are tons of people that can make the same statement.

I learned while growing up what discipline is. Those that populate our prisons never did. Maybe they did but they never learned that discipline leads to self-discipline and civility.

To be rather blunt, I learned that i would get my ass kicked by my father if i got out of line. The schools I went to could spank with some scary looking paddles. They didn’t abuse; one or two smacks in the presence of another of their peers kept it to “a smack on your ass that would sting for hours.” They called your home and told your folks that evening and you might have gotten some more.
Kids talk tough about being “dissed” and want to get violent about demanding it. I have seen adults act in the same manner. I’ve seen no reason for them to deserve any respect. Respect is what you show to others that are looking for a reason for you to earn that respect.
Modern day criminals statistically seldom had a strong male influence in their lives that taught them to respect others first. They didn’t live with the prospect of being physically put in their place in a proper fashion while they grew up 7/24/365.
Some states are passing laws that prevent parents from giving their kids a good swat on the ass if necessary. Wait until you get home, kid.

Have you ever watched a martial arts movie and noticed the sensei was very strict? The Karate Kid had a hard way to go though Mr Kyoto knew how to do it mentally as well as using “Wax On – Wax Off” as a trial.
Just as a dog is taught to “SIT and STAY” humans must learn their boundaries from an elder; hopefully one they respect.
Prison isn’t a place to learn it; the military is a better opportunity.

As I watched all of the gatherings of people concerning the VA TECH incident I was put off by the fact we as a nation will mourn those students as innocent martyrs and forget the fact that our very own nation carried out acts of terrorism within the past few years in Iraq.

Scene…Several Iraqi families that never gave a thought about you nor I over there on the other side of the world – and no wish to kill any Americans (that is a strong misconception and great propaganda) – are sitting together eating evening meals in their apartments in Baghdad when a US cruise missile takes out half of the building, as well as half of the families.
Survivors emerge looking for loved ones – husband, daughter, mother, wife, whatever, and in that one strike their lives changed.
The really sad thing is they never knew we – You and I as human beings – exist and still don’t though we can watch their grief captured on cameras for the news. Those people are only aware that our country, the USA, destroyed their lives.
Though it can be told in different ways, this is is true.

Relate that grief to what we feel towards that college incident.

This is meant to shock you back into some sense of civility before I catch any comments about ragheads and 911.

I am a patriot and my country has let me down.
Do we only show compassion toward our own??

Friday the 13th; Better than April Fools Day?

I still cannot remove this thought from my mind…
Write the figure $500,000,000,000.00 out on a piece of paper several times and try to wrap your mind around how large that figure really is. Can you imagine writing a check that large?
I still can’t fathom that figure.

Then I complete it with…
Wow! Is there that much money in this country? It must be a loan from Bill Gates, the guy that owns the company that will take this country under with the launch of the next OS for the head of the horrid beast that controls the Internet. Namely, our computers.

The Devil truly has two eyes on us now. Television has been telling us what to do with our lives for close to 70 years and the Internet has had a hold for going on 20 years at the least. Both are extremely efficient, wouldn’t you agree?
Something seemingly inhuman has been exposing/educating us to more than what all generations before us will have known was possible before puberty. We have seen untold violence as well as 1000’s of deaths by every means possible before we are old enough to graduate from high school and are desensitized to death and violence before we enter high school. If true TV kids, we are also fully aware of every aspect of sex; the medical terms for our organs and how pregnancy occurs. A large number of kids have already had some type of sexual experience due to peer pressure and/or suggestion from one of the evil eyes. The one thing that the young don’t understand is the emotional and financial stipulations. Though television may turn on every other button, it cannot simulate life experience or emotions that accompany it. One can never be financially prepared when teen years try to fall back on years of television. Where was mom&dad?

Some of us now sit with its cousin, often times on our laps, while engrossed in front of the original eye. Both eyes are upon us and we are as dependent upon them as our automobiles to get through our daily lives.
I guess that’s a good thought for Friday the 13th; after all it is just another day but one with the connotation of superstitious BAD luck surrounding it.

Maybe some others will say it aloud; “GOD help us!”
