My Father on The Economy
	Posted by: harold - on Monday, April 08, 2013 - 01:15 AM Today on This Week with George Stephanopoulos was five people discussing our economic condition in this country. All these people claim to be experts. I am sure the have many certificates to ascertain the knowledge of our economy. I heard a lot of loud words with little meaning. My father had just turned 35 years old when the stocked market crashed in 1929. He was a tobacco farmer in Kentucky. He had finished the 3rd grade at school but had tried all his life to learn. He told me when I was in high school the the reason for the depression was the rich took all the money out of circulation and sit on it. The economy would not function because they was not any money to exchange the commodities essential for living conditions. Well if we had a few people in D.C. as smart as my father, we would start finding a way get our "dollars" out of offshore accounts and into the hand of those that need it and will circulate it. Stop worrying about SS, food stamps & entailments sic. Then tell those rich mot*rsfu**kers to spend their money or lose it. Oh, how I wish some of those leadership positions were as smart as my father. Deal done.

	2nd Amendment
	Posted by: harold - on Sunday, January 27, 2013 - 03:18 PM 2nd Amendment "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." This amendment does not give everybody the right to sell guns, When we make laws to regulate the sale of guns and make people legally and civilly responsible when a gun someone sold ends up used in an gross illegal act. I am saying no one, not anybody can sell a gun but a licensed dealer. Background check must be regulated. Note: Weirdharold has spokened.

	Carter & Clinton say Drug War Failure
	Posted by: harold - on Tuesday, December 04, 2012 - 03:33 PM Clinton, Carter Blast ‘War on Drugs’ in Documentary I can say I told you so. I fear the efforts now will be made to use legal force to get suffering addicts to stop using drugs, while we should be using research to find the reason addict and alcoholics use the substance in destructive ways. Well maybe we are not suppose to know.

	Change the Federal Marijuana Drug Laws
	Posted by: harold - on Wednesday, November 21, 2012 - 01:28 PM I have been studying this subject since a reenforced effort was put on this subject to get the attention off the Iran-Contra scandal. My idea has been the reasons for the laws are false and cannot be enforced. The method to change the legal end of this matter is so simple a retarded politician should come up the plan. Remove marijuana from the prohibited drug list. Then just add marijuana to the Alcohol & Tobacco list for the treasury to collect taxes. I believe this should be policy the liberals and conservatives should agree if there ever was something they could agree upon. I think Ron Paul and Bernie Sanders should be where to start. Even though I do not think either is retarded.

	Mitt Rmoney
	Posted by: harold - on Thursday, November 08, 2012 - 11:08 PM A tad off topic, but Charles Pierce (political blogger on Esquire), who makes a large theme of Romney treating everyone else as the help, notes this lede from a NBC story about the end of the Romney campaign: >> BOSTON — From the moment Mitt Romney stepped off stage Tuesday night, having just delivered a brief concession speech he wrote only that evening, the massive infrastructure surrounding his campaign quickly began to disassemble itself. Aides taking cabs home late that night got rude awakenings when they found the credit cards linked to the campaign no longer worked. Note: From a comment on nmisscommentor.com Blog

	Mr. Rmoney's 401k
	Posted by: harold - on Monday, October 15, 2012 - 12:32 AM I must note that Mr. Rmoney has 100M in his tax deferred 401k. Now I am not too good at math but look at this you can put something like 17g each year until age 50, then you can put in 23g. Now let say he started at 16 when he was on his bicycle and he put in max until age 50. 34*17g= 544g then 15 years at 23g = 345g added together that equals 889g now Mr. Rmoney has 100M in a 401k, that is a 11,249% growth rate. WOW, you know anybody else that has that good of returns on their 401k. I would not want too show my Tax Returns either. Here is the person that want to be President of The United States of America. A nation, under One God, as he states it.

It is well known, Justinian declared, that buggery is a principal cause of earthquakes, and so must be prohibited. But our sky-godders, always eager to hate, still quote Leviticus, as if that looney text had anything useful to say about anything except, perhaps, the inadvisability of eating shellfish in the Jerusalem area."

	AHCA
	Posted by: harold - on Sunday, July 01, 2012 - 04:35 PM To get angry is a very bad emotion for me to deal with sanely. The people attacking the Affordable Care Act (ACA) bring up the sounds the opponents of the Civili Rights used. While ignoring parts of the ACA that help so many they use the words, "Freedom, Loss of Rights, taxes and the best of all, "we cannot Afford It while 25 million are out of work. I listen and get angry. I also hear voices of the past. Insert the word, "Nigger" in the conversation and I hear Ross Barrnett, George Wallace, Byron De La Beckwith, Edgar Ray Killen, Cecil Price, Lawrence A. Rainey, Samuel Bowers & the list goes on and on. We cannot care for the ill & poor because of the same argument as the men above made above in the Civil Rights area in the 1960s. And again it come from the rich and powerful whose fears are embedded in the possible of loss of a little of each.

	Prisoners & more Prisoners
	Posted by: harold - on Monday, June 11, 2012 - 12:59 PM This cartoonist has correctly drawn the picture of our twist view or no view at all of our treatment of prisoners. The most being low level drug dealers and addicts. Very few know of our corporate prison system. Now we are ready to pass laws for chickens while we continue this inhuman treatment of prople, some of which are very little, if any danger to our society. And the world goes on!

	And on Goes the War on Drugs
	Posted by: harold - on Sunday, May 27, 2012 - 04:14 PM It is very sad our most intelligent people cannot get a grip on the, "War on Drugs". No one benefits from the prohibition of the cultivation, possession, transport, and sale of drugs except that list of people including our enemy, but if we are not trying to control most likely they would not be our enemy. The thought we are saving people from becoming addicts by prohibition is the most outlandish thought we have come up with in the past 100 years. This Times article is just more of the same

	Obama's Drug Policy
	Posted by: harold - on Thursday, April 19, 2012 - 05:32 PM Here is A Drug Policy for the 21st Century Posted by Kathleen Sebelius, Eric Holder, and Gil Kerlikowske on the White House web house site Home • The Administration • Office of National Drug Control Policy. It was most likely written by a Harvard educated Chicago politician that always has in his mind, "Do not close the polls, I have 3 cemeteries that have not voted" Illegal drugs not only harm a user’s mind and body, they devastate families, communities, and neighborhoods. They jeopardize public safety, prevent too many Americans from reaching their full potential, and place obstacles in the way of raising a healthy generation of young people. This statement leads one to believe Interdiction solve all these problems. This problem will be solved when we stop all the addicts from using drugs ah haw. It has worked quite well the past 98 years. The politicians are hopping you will believe this and most will. It makes me makes me wanna cry. More to come later on this web post when I can get up the strength.

	More on the Drug War
	Posted by: harold - on Saturday, April 14, 2012 - 05:41 PM This article explains many of the problems with the Drug War. To end these destructive laws I believe more truths must be told. Many people have fears of those using alcohol and/or drugs and well they should if those users drive automobiles, operate heavy machinery or have guns. Some create public and/or domestic violence. Then there are the parents, grandparents and others that believe if one ever uses a drug or alcohol they will become addicted. These issues are not going away whatever laws we have in place. Our prohibition laws have taken on three functions to deal with all the above issues. They are: Interdiction Education Treatment Interdiction failed with alcohol and it has failed with drugs. So our lawmakers make more laws and increase punishment and more failures. The CATO institute has some example of these failures. The Education in place is the flat earth society idea. There is not enough known about addiction to be teaching anything. Teaching children about the harms of drugs when they are more informed than the teacher is bullshit. The Treatment: I am opposed to forcing people into treatment because they have committed a crime while under the influence. Having treatment available to those who wish to seek help I am for. If you do the crime you do the time. A crime by an addict is a crime. Of course, I am not talking about Drug Prohibition crimes. My thoughts come from this idea.

	I am Positive Hell is Frozen
	Posted by: harold - on Saturday, March 24, 2012 - 06:04 PM Well, I am sure Hell has frozen over Pat Robertson and the Pope agree on something, however, they don't know it yet. I agree with both on this issue. Now, tell me who has changed their position on the, "War on Drugs". Pat talks about changing the marijuana prohibition laws. The Pope talks about the evil of, "The Drug Cartels". Both topics stem from, The "War on Drugs" problems. Both issues cover only two parts of the prohibition laws we have created to treat a spiritual malady with a STICK and not LOVE. From these laws unscrupulous entrepreneurs have developed ways to cultivate, transport, manufacture and place on a underground market products that have rule of safety to the consumer. Each step creates a unnecessary activity to stay out of the light of law enforcement and eliminate competition. The Pope calls it evil. I say the bird is in our hands for legislating drug prohibition laws. These laws have created a marketplace of violence not known in any of our history. It has destroyed the 4th Amendment rights and established a police state. We have given the authority to create a prohibited list to the agency that has the authority to enforce these laws. We have convinced the populous the enforcement of these prohibition laws will completely eradicate this spiritual malady. Some religious leaders are beginning to doubt our methodology. The more these laws fail the more laws we make. Which are all domed to fail.

	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.
