I must be getting old or the interfaces must start to suck.  It could really be one or the other.

I am clarly a cranky o;d man,  but my read on the Israeli/Iranian situation is this...   Iran can not loose.

GOLD? Really?

People are now rushing to buy GOLD, because they think it's something stable and will always be a good investment. But they are wrong. GOLD is just as meaningless as any other form of "Money". GOLD only has value for the same reason that we give value to paper money, and that is because we agree that it has value.

If I am hungry, try giving me a GOLD brick, for my bread. If I am trying to provide shelter for my Family, would a GOLD brick be worth the logs needed to build my house? Will a GOLD brick give cloak me when I am cold?

I could sit on a throne of GOLD, but GOLD can't feed me by itself, or shelter me by itself, or cloth me, by itself.

GOLD is just as much a Lie as Money itself.

Free market Economies

The great fallacy of the "Free Market Economy" is that it benefits ALL people. It doesn't... It only benefits those who are in position to take advantage of it.

Lower class people, the ones that need jobs... they don't benefit at all. In fact, all Free Market Economics does is consolidate jobs into a narrow strata. If you are not already in the company who eats another company, you get screwed, and you loose your job.

The whole primes of "Free Economics" is based on equal opportunity, everyone has the same access to the same resources. And that is where it all breaks down.

There is no equal access to the raw materials, at the same price, and there is no "Fair Trade"

And you wonder why people riot?

UK Riots

The riots have hit my wife's home town in England, fucking brilliant.

America, laughs as they don't understand why the riots started in the first place.

You have no idea how many hoops I had to go through to get to this point.

We all have to go through the "Security Word", business to log in. On one hand, that is an important part of the security process. I't makes it harder for people trying to hack your account.

On the other hand... I AM 41Years Old,

I went through 45+ log in attempts because I missed the "Security Word".

Google, maybe you have the eyes of an Eagle, but when I start being able not to see the words, who else cant see them?

The Middle is pretty quiet

It's been pretty quiet here in the middle for a bit. I don't really have much to say at the moment. I would however like to bring some attention to the recent news story that Iran has or is developing a "cruise missile" .

All the news stories I have read recently make it seem like this is some really big deal. This is the begining of the big confrontation!

No it's not. It is 1 country who just got technology we have had for 20 years. It's hard to believe that it has been 20 years since the first Gulf War. Some people seem to be holding onto that era a bit to much.

Me? Well yah, I am also holding on to that war a bit to long. It seems that I am not wired to kill people.

Perhaps more later.

The brass tacks.

Well I have let off on this blog for a while, but I think that enough is enough.

I will start by saying that I am a "Democrat". Which means that I voted for President Obama.

I will follow that up by saying that I am "Right to Choose". In particular in the first trimester. In the 2nd trimester, I am on the fence, and the 3rd trimester I am opposed. But in the end, I will go with the choice of the mother.

On the issue of gun control, I believe that every American has the right to own one(or 10). This is a liberty that was granted to us by the constitution.

When it comes to Government spending, I ask that it be responsible. Please don't spend more than we have available to spend.

Those are basic rules. I really don't ask for much.
