Well, for example, the other day I went downtown and into a shop. I was only there for about 5 minutes and when I came out there was a cop writing out a parking ticket. I said to him, 'Come on, man, how about giving a retired person a break?'
He ignored me and continued writing the ticket. I called him a 'Nazi.' He glared at me and wrote another ticket for having worn tires. So I called him a 'doughnut eating Gestapo.' He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. Then he wrote a third ticket. This went on for about 20 minutes.
The more I abused him the more tickets he wrote. Personally, I didn't care. I came downtown on the bus, and the car that he was putting the tickets on had a bumper sticker that said 'Obama in '08.'
I try to have a little fun each day now that I'm retired. It's important to my health.
My new hero!

I saw an article the other day that showed:
Fox viewers are 38% republican 32% democrat
The other stations were all close to the same coming in at Democrat 40% Republican 24% approx.
But MSNBC (Obama headquarters) was 45% Democrat and only 18% republican. That Obermann is so rediculous, he is so far up Obamas ass it isn't funny. That guy is wayyyyyyy over the top like Rev Wright, out there, way out there.
I personally think Fox was by far the fairest overall so far this yr on the campaigns. I do agree Fox is slanted towards republican, but not as slanted as the other stations towards Democrats. I agree with Pollie that Karl Rove is a staunch Republican and would never say anything positive about Dems. Former Bush cronie.
I think those numbers say it all as far as fairness goes. The most balanced audience by far statistically.
And you know what "ABC" stands for right?
"All Barack Channel"

The NY Times refused to print John McCains letter but did print Obamas a couple months ago. Amazing how badly they want Obama.
If the Dems lose this election after 8 years of Bush, they might as well fold up the party. They have been spotted 98 points and the game ends at 100.

Re:BLLB--Labor Day Weekend - 2008/08/30 08:53 pmI was thinking about McCain/Palin ticket tonight. Being a registered Independent I feel like I got my Independent ticket with these two, this is major change from either party to me. So I'm quite happy, we'll see what happens, feels like a new beginning, something to be excited about, two people that care about the people before the party. I like it, but 2 months is a long way to go, one dumb statement by any of the four people can end it for them. Not Obama, but the other 3 that is. He can say anything under the sun and no one seems to care how offensive it is.
Turn the page, Nov 4th and 5th will be interesting. I can't wait, if Obama wins, than so be it. I have a ticket I'm very happy with right now and that is all I can ask for at this point. More so than if Hillary had won her nomination, can't believe I said that, but true.

Such a strive would require personal development -- an attribute of a person which often decays with time.
Sadly.
Erik Erikson would say this: You have a choice. You can stagnate or you can generate in your mid adulthood.
And some people do generate...you've gotta realize, HF, you are only speaking from a bubble of personal experience. I know lots of generators. I hope to be one.
Also, If I say I believe that LAW is a means of ensuring personal freedom, I might be saying it's the beginning, and that the lack of law is surely the destruction of personal freedom for the masses. Listen to the response before you shut someone down, kiddo.
You might want to learn a little about which ego you are speaking out of when you pontificate...as long as you are taking the time to instruct, you might do so in a manner that won't make people switch off their computers.
Try a little Transactional Analysis, and you might find tools that help you to speak to adult learners as an adult would...not parent to child.
I got 10 years on ya, kiddo. Maybe not in formal education, but in screwing up and rebuilding relationships. Learning to collaborate rather than pontificate is the foundation of all great relationships...and one of the most important relationships is between educator and learner. TA (Transasctional Analysis) has a lot to say about that relationship. (I'm studying it today)
Also you made a mistake. TA doesn't IMPLY that the relationship between instructor and learner is important. (Some say this, but it's not true.) This assumption is invalidated since pedagogy ISN'T always the most effective praxes. If you teach little kids, sure, then I will agree. But if you teach adults (like I do), the effective praxes is to allow them to teach themselves (andragogy). Thus TA is neither generalized or correct, but just a smaller view of education during Elder's life course.
Doesn't matter how you wanna slice it, if you talk down to me as an adult learner, there's no more learning going on. Then it becomes a matter of getting a degree only, and you've become part of a diploma factory...missing the greater calling of being a teacher. And failing to generate, as Erikson would say. Just because he experienced life in a bubble doesn't mean he couldn't define a valuable course of behaviors for mid adulthood. He observed from a set of universally applicable truths...anyone can do it, if they quit trying to be "right" and just become interested in the welfare of the human race.
A bird both preens and sings from a perch, but you can only hear it singing, not preening, from the ground.

Re:BLLB--Labor Day Weekend - 2008/08/31 12:01 amPopulation of Baltimore Maryland 640,900.Population of Alaska 670,000.Mayors of most large cities govern more people than the governor of Alaska.The playing field now has changed being experience is no longer an issue.As far as putting Palin on a par with Clinton that absurb.Though Im not all that fond of Hillary I still think it an insult to women to say any women will do as a substitute for hillary.I for one still think that Obama has plans for hillary in his cabinet positions,which is a much more active role than VP.Every body is getting excited but the political scholars which says this is a bad pick & a sign of weakness & confidence in the McCain committee.Im just going by what im reading in national news,not the SW hotline.If you want something done right,do it yourself.If you cant do it yourself,either do without or get used to mediocracy.

Re:BLLB--Labor Day Weekend - 2008/08/31 12:17 amA little food for thought.
There is nothing in McCain's record to suggest that he supports Hillary Clinton's approach to problems at home or abroad.
Unlike Clinton, McCain doesn't think the American people deserve a raise. He has opposed an increase in the minimum wage 19 times.
While Clinton was fighting for Medicare prescription drug coverage, McCain consistently voted against it, at least 28 times.
Clinton has been a tireless fighter for universal health care. McCain, on the other hand, has a plan that will jack up health-care costs and leave some Americans with no health care coverage at all.
McCain supports overturning Roe v. Wade. Given the opportunity, he would appoint Supreme Court justices who would happily strike down women's reproductive rights and turn loose the government on its citizens in the name of national security. That would not happen under Clinton.
Whether the issue is the war in Iraq (McCain opposes a firm timetable on withdrawal; Clinton and Obama want to get us out), cooperation on international health and foreign aid issues, or relations with America's closest allies, Clinton and McCain don't see eye to eye.
So why would true Clinton supporters help give the White House to an out-of-touch Republican who stands for just about everything she opposes?
The anger of some Clinton supporters over her defeat and what they perceive as her snubbing for a spot on the Democratic ticket may be clouding their judgment.If you want something done right,do it yourself.If you cant do it yourself,either do without or get used to mediocracy.

Re:BLLB--Labor Day Weekend - 2008/08/31 07:41 amHey Pollie, I can only tell you as a registered Independent, I do not agree with all ideas from the Republican party or do I share all the ideas from the Democratic party.
Here are things I believe in and desire, maybe this is a better approach than what we have been doing:
I believe in the right for people to have rifles for hunting, BAN automatic weapon sales to our public, handguns by permit only. (Republicans believe in right to own a gun) I'm in partial agreement. Just don't think anyone should be able to walk in and buy an automatic weapon/machine gun as I grew up calling them, lol.
I believe in a womans right to an abortion. (Democrats belief)
I believe in balancing books, spending less than you take in, being more conservative. (Republican more so)
I want a big wall built on our borders, north and south. When we are not at war, I want our Army and Marines posted along our borders and our Navy and Coast Guard in our seas to stop as many drugs, illegals and terrorists as possible. When our military is home, we pay for them to do daily military exercises anyway, so why not post along our borders and at sea? They will get good useful experience while doing the country a huge service. I think it is shameful and irresponsible that this wasn't started on 9-12-2001 along our borders and completed years ago. Neither side takes this issue seriouslyanyway, Huckabee would have been the best for this.
I would like to see NAFTA stopped. Neither side has any interest in stopping outsourcing. We continue to close factories and ship jobs overseas. I want tax breaks stopped for taking factories overseas and do just the opposite, give them tax breaks to bring the factories back here and put our people to work again. If we need workers, create a program with Mexico then. I would like to see us get back to making American products and buying American products. But we need to put our country back to work, restore pride and put out a quality product for once. Never going to happen, only in
