Enough is fracking enough

I should be ashamed at myself. For years I have felt fearful of publicly commenting negatively about this administrations lies, corruption and general abandonment of basic civil liberties out of fear of reprisal. The follow excerpt from the failed $700 billion bailout proposed by the Bush administration, "Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency" is the straw that broke this camel's back.

Any elected congressional member who voted for this bill should be arrested and tried as a traitor. I personally believe that "tarring and feathering" is not a cruel and unusual punishment for such perpetrators of greed, deceit and dishonesty. If only they would import their snake oil from China, we would have a chance of helping our cumulative gene pool, as I am sure that whatever comes from China will eventually poison or pollute us out of existence.

You know something, I am mad as hell, and I do not want to take it anymore. I very well might cast my vote for Ralph Nader this time. At least he does not speak with a forked tongue, and I believe he probably has the intelligence to lead us in the right direction, or at least try to lead, as I suspect our elected criminals would stifle any attempt to limit the wolves attack on us sheep.

Weathering the Storm

I have been teasing my wife the past 24 hours, calling her a "hurricane magnet". As I ponder my past though, I seem to be the "her-i-cane" magnet, while she is really a "him-i-cane" magnet. Although I barely remember it, I do remember my family evacuating Lumbertin, TX, to avoid the worst of hurricane Carla in 1961. The eye of hurricane Alicia passed right over my home in the Houston, TX suburbs in 1983. Before leaving the Houston metropolitan area I also experienced a Harvey like storm in 1995 named Allison , by the time it arrived in the Houston area it was more of a tropical storm that lingered and caused significant flooding. With the exception of several significant typhoons, whose names I either never knew, or more probably have forgotten, while on a U.S. Navy destroyer in the South Pacific during the early 1970's, the storms I mentioned were all before moving to the Phoenix metropolitan area, where aside from 120 degree summers and a few Ha...

An individualist you say.

This morning I tweeted a quote by Henry Thoreau, "There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root." It piqued my interest, so I set out to determine what the renowned author believed to be the root of all evil. I found a good description of his quote on the quora website. After reading that analysis I found myself searching for information related to his political leanings, which led me to this Wall Street Journal article . Perhaps you'll find those items as interesting as I have.
