	Police are Making Their Own Rules
	Posted by: harold - on Sunday, November 20, 2011 - 03:42 PM We have reached the point when those who are supposed to, "Insure domestic tranquility" are creating the violence needed to sustain their existance via War on Terror and War on Drugs. The people with the guns SWAT Teams are making the rules. When are we going to question these rules or better when are going to put the laws back in place we started when this country was created. Here is just one example where police were out of order. And they were just following procedures

	" Frank Luntz"s lie
	Posted by: harold - on Monday, October 17, 2011 - 07:15 PM Why do the media allow the GOP hacks to keep repeating the " Frank Luntz"s factual misinformation (lie)". "46% of Americans do not pay any Federal Income Tax Fact: All People with (any) income up to $108,000 pay FICA an acronym that stands for Federal Insurance Contributions Act is a payroll tax imposed on employees and employers to fund Social Security and Medicare @ the rate of 15.3%. Consider the above while the same people call Social Security and Medicare an entitlement. Ain't this a manner of stealing a widow's house.

	Romney Must Apologize
	Posted by: harold - on Saturday, May 14, 2011 - 01:35 PM The whole story from Onion here Though Romney has apologized profusely, Beltway insiders said he would need to distance himself from his I-tried-to-help-sickpeople image. Sources noted that Romney's current promise to take away health care from anyone who can't afford it is a step in the right direction, but might not be enough. "The major strike against Mitt Romney is that he not only tried to help people get medical care, he actually did help people get medical care," conservative columnist Jonah Goldberg said. "No other Republican in the field has that type of baggage. And in the end, in order to defeat President Obama, the GOP needs someone who has a track record of never wanting to help sick people." Thus far, Romney is polling strongly in early primary states like New Hampshire and Iowa, but Republican strategists and voters agree that even in a general election, his sordid past would continue to dog him. "I don't think I can vote for someone like that," Pennsylvania Republican Eric Tolbert said. "He says he's sorry, but how do I know that's the real Mitt Romney? What happens if he gets elected and tries to help sick people again?" "I like Michele Bachmann now," Tolbert added. "Because what this country needs is a president who doesn't give a ***** about helping people."

	I Am An Alcoholic
	Posted by: harold - on Tuesday, May 03, 2011 - 12:15 AM When I hear pundits talking about drug addiction and the solutions for addiction, it reminds me of the old saying I heard many years ago about addiction, "There are those who do not know, and there those who do not know they do not know" I am positive these pundits are those of the latter group. They are doing nothing more than spreading lies to parents. Pride in the family is the greatest symptom that creates difficulty in treating addiction. Those pundits spread this pride, making treating addiction very difficult. Then we have those promoting prohibition telling us about keeping these dangerous from children, while in fact they have created a violent marketplace where more dangerous drugs are put on sale on the street. I have one statement to make to these, Know it Alls. I am an alcoholic. Upon reflection I realize I had all the symptoms of alcoholism the first night I drank. On March 24th 1960, I was 19 years of age. After a romantic event did not go my way, I picked up a friend and we went to a bootlegger in Horse Cave, KY and purchased I/2 pint of some forgotten brand of Kentucky Bourbon. I started drinking. My friend was Type I Diabetic and did not drink. So I had it all to myself. Now, take the pundits point of view. If the DEA had arrested this bootlegger before I purchased the 1/2 pint and sent him to prison with 2.3 million others, I would NOT be an alcoholic. Also had my mother and father been sent to school and learned all about addiction, I would have gotten better sooner. Note: On the same night of my first drink, my friend and I met up with 6 others that were drinking, none of them are alcoholics.

	How Can Someone Lie Like This????
	Posted by: harold - on Saturday, April 16, 2011 - 05:20 PM Michele Leonhart writes in Solon U.S. and Mexican officials say the grotesque violence is a symptom the cartels have been wounded by police and soldiers. “It may seem contradictory, but the unfortunate level of violence is a sign of success in the fight against drugs,” said Michele Leonhart, head of the Drug Enforcement Administration. The cartels “are like caged animals, attacking one another,” she added. Well, I said a few years ago the war on drugs is just another Vietnam War. The more people we kill the more we are winning. WOW!!

	Posted by: harold - on Wednesday, March 02, 2011 - 04:48 PM Many people say an addict could stop using drugs and/or alcohol if he wished. To me, that is like saying a schizophrenic does not have to dodge or run to get out of the way when he has an illusion that someone is shooting at him.

	Look At This
	Posted by: harold - on Thursday, February 24, 2011 - 05:43 PM How does one determine the intent of the user after an overdose? If knowledge of the drug upon one's body was unknown to the user it is suicide. If he/she was intent on ending their life it was suicide. Suicide is a very common way of death among addicts. If the intent was to get loaded we can blame the drugs. If it is a suicide we must look at the addiction. Which we know nothing!!! There are many whom do not know, they do not know anything.

	Help End the Violence
	Posted by: harold - on Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - 08:00 PM The 2nd Amendment Argument and Methodology to deter crazies from going around shooting people can be corrected easily. The simple answer is: Leave the 2nd Amendment in place as is. Leave the the laws in place that say insane people cannot possess a gun. What must be changed is those who wish to own guns must prove to the State they are sane, not a harm to themselves or others. Proof must be presented before a purchase of gun can be made. Test via Psychiatric professionals must be paid for by the person desiring to purchase a gun. Those wanting to purchase a gun might be interested in this link, here.

	The Poor Economy
	Posted by: harold - on Thursday, October 14, 2010 - 01:42 PM So long as each political party spend million on ads and the Cable News Networks keep telling us how bad our economy is at present, the rich and large corporations are going to hold onto their cash (1.3 trillion now) and they are not going to hire anybody. So the economy keeps on crashing. If it were up to me, I would take the money from the rich and give it to our citizens and tell them they could only buy cars made in USA, smart phones made in the Bay Area of CA, Hickey-Freeman suits made in Rochester NY, and sweet potatoes grown in Vardaman, MS. Then everybody could ride around in their cars using gasoline produced in Texas, wearing their fancy suits, texting on their smart phones, and farting like a mare mule in a full set of harness, thinking nobody was paying any attention. The economy would return to normal. The rich could go back to stealing hot stoves and the undertakers could get rich from the auto accidents. All could continue saying the homeless should buy a house, widows with 4 children should get a job and get off public assistance.
