This BLOG entry is on violent media and violent behavior. I see violence as an outward act that is the result of anger and high emotions. If I kick a soccer ball, am I being violent? I would say no. Now if I kick the soccer ball because it has made me angry then I am being violent. Therefore, I say malicious intent is important. To many research studies on violence in media consider just mimicking a behavior as violent. I wonder how much a six year old knows about his or her beha...
“From the frying pan in to the fire”. Doesn’t it sometimes seen that way? The Iraqis start taking responsibility for their security, which is what is necessary for violence in Iraq to end and Iran and North Korea start to act up. Not to mention Palestine militants take an Israeli soldier hostage and Israel invades Palestine. Of course, the big question here is who is right and who is wrong. The truth is I can follow the money and see how American private investors interfere and d...
This BLOG entry is on the news media publishing classified information. I see this as an issue of moral conscience. A person in the news media has to ask him or her self will publishing this information harm the United States of America. The reality is that publishing any classified information is going to aid the enemy. When I was in the security industry, I used to tell people “the only people that need to know what security is up to is security.” Furthermore, I would say publ...
The bid political issues today are the Supreme Court ruling on the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay. All I can say on this issue is that it is good that there is a balance of power. I do recognize the president’s authority to conduct the war on terrorism. The one thing I did not mention on my article on the California legislature is that I have for many years have said, “ If you love your children you will take them out of the public schools. I had a thought today on romance. Thinking stuf...
This blog entry is on teaching about the homosexual lifestyle to public school children in the public schools. I will start with the following two quotes. The bill requires that California public schools teach students in all grades about the “contributions” that homosexuals, bisexuals and transsexuals have made to society. Further the bill requires that schools buy textbooks that highlight these positive contributions. The bill is currently at the committee stage. In every subject through...
Let me say that I will never disagree with president Bush. I think it is to easy to get on the petty criticizing cause you can ban wagon. In fact, I do no think I have seen a presidency where two seconds after they person was elected the criticisms did not start. Today, I heard a radio interview with the founder of focus on the family and the Mr. Brenner who was in charge of Iraq for a while after the invasion. Because of some of his public statements, I considered him enemy of pres...
Things a young child can confess and bring a parent in to a state of shock are I am pregnant, I am gay, I have been doing drugs, I am in love and sleeping with your best friend, and many others. My parenting philosophy is very basic. I think parents should take an active interest in giving their children the necessary mental resources they will need to function in the current world environment. To me this means handling inter-personal relationships, morality, emotional balance, relati...
I was planning to write about my eventful life (not really) as a taxi driver today. The trips were regular. No one got out of hand until 4am. I was in my taxi waiting for a fare. Then I saw a nervous guy come for the taxi. He stopped before he got to me. Then he sat on the curve. After about five minutes, this guy got up and went towards the American customs. Were I work is in front of a port of entry from Mexico. The first guy met his friend there. I thought the first guy a...
The first thing I wan to say today is that my intent here is not to create cynicism and skepticism and/or add to these practices. We already have enough of that in this world. I believe that half the job of solving a problem is to figure out what the problem is in the first place. Therefore, I want to shine the light on the issue and encourage people to get involved in solving the problem. I will give God a great recognition for one of His greatest creations; life. God only you...
No man is worth it. Unfortunately, many of us go through our developmental years not receiving the necessary nutrients to develop properly. This lack of proper guidance leaves many of us with a skewed perception of life and our selves. This blog entry is on security and romance. I find it strange that I have not written on this subject before since I know the “abusive personality” very well. My father was very physically abusive and my ex-wife was abusive in all manners. In additi...
I do not believe voting republican will help in the congressional elections of 2006. I see a political system that has become all about politicians lying to get in to office in order to disregard the citizen while they hustle some pay back for them selves. When I was thinking about the dilemma the American people have about who to put in congress in 2006 I can to three conclusions. One, people need to get out and vote. Two, people need to run voter registration drives. Three, ...
We are so suppose to actually have a life. No having a full life does not mean that it is hopeless. We must consider that we are always in charge. It is for us to accept Jesus Christ invitation to heaven. Repent, confess, ask for forgiveness, and ask Christ to be your Lord and Savior. It is for us to date, fall in love, and get married. It is for us to look at what we have verses lamenting what do not have. It is for us to be mature and not petty and vindictive. It is fo...
When you make decisions based on what criminals can get away with, you betray the trust the people put in government to act fairly. I just read a news story reporting on a supreme court decision allowing law enforcement officer armed with “warrants” to enter a residence with out knocking and announcing themselves. The case in the Supreme Court can about in a situation when officers announced themselves but did not knock at the residence, which is what law requires. I say that the rea...
Today’s article is on duty, balance, and intimacy. Duty means taking care of what needs to be taken care off in the home. This should be mostly easy. All you have to do to earn money is work. Money is what you need to pay the bills, buy groceries, pay rent, and put gas in your car. Most people are able to accomplish these routine tasks. I, however, am surprised at how many people live in what I would call pig sties. It helps me to do a little bit every day. I have found letting th...
Today, I plan to share the messages of choices. I have been talking to people who give me the impression that they must have life the way they want it. One of the things I have recently learned is that part of our hardship comes from not wanting to accept our real life. I would say dreams are nice. Accomplishing our dreams is even nicer. However, dreams with out any real work can be a source of stress. Look, I have been trying to write an essay on why I write in this blog. There ...
