Randi Rhodes was talking about "the great taking away" that the Conservative Corporatists do. They take away our civil rights. They take away our rights to negotiate with management and to strike. They take away our pension funds and medical coverage that we paid for out of our wages. They support "Freedom to Freeload' laws, which goal is to bankrupt and undermine, and eventually destroy Labor Unions. The reason why the wage climate is as favorable as it is - - IF it is - - is because of the influence of Labor Unions. This is a message Larry Elder has not gotten yet. The conservatives want to take away our clean environment and steps we can do to help out Planet Earth. The conservatives want to take away our Information that we get from the Freedom of Information act. And worst of all they want to take away our right to hear the Truth from our Media, which used to be Public- - Media, and I'll elaborate on that word Public later on. Now days it seems that FOX and ABC news work out of the same studio in places like Burlington Vermont, and In Honolulu two TV networks have the same morning news. Often corporations of different ownership share news people - - and often one writing team writes the news "script" for both TV news men (empty suits) to deliver over the air waves. This situation is not healthy, and it's only getting worse all the time. As you know the management of Hostess- - as they were going down for the third time- - decided to give their Chief Executive Officers fat bonuses, and got the money from robbing pension funds of the workers. Yet people like Judy still cling to the sheer fiction that somehow it was the greed of the Unions and their demands, that brought Hostess down. Of course one wonders if these international corporatists, who seem not to have a patriotic bone in their body, and care neither for healthy business productivity or integrety of the product or customer satisfaction- - nor for their workers- - one may ask, "Of what USE are such people to even have around at all. Why not just get rid of them". Indeed, if one were to truely speak of "Efficiency" and "being of productive Value" than corporate management should all be fired. Apparently in some George Orwell book- - it is predicted "When the proletariet discovers that Corporate Management is of no useful value- - - the masses will rise up in a populist movement ans Sweep Them Away. This is the exact sort of thing that people like Judy most fear. Sometimes, though it's true. What you Fear will indeed come upon you. You will become victims of your own over-blown rhetoric, and you yourselves will be guilty of bringing about Self Fulfilling prophecy. Perhaps previously I would have balked at a statement Rush Limbaugh made about "The poor people think the Rich are out to steal from them and take away their money- - and this is why they say that success is bad". Well, when push comes to shove these days the Rich ARE out to do just this. It's they and not the poor who are guilty of violating the Tenth Commandment in "Coveting the goods of your neighbor". Think about it.
Mitt Romney would be spinning in his grave (if he were dead) to know all the good economic news we've been having lately from so many sources. We have Apple returning to producing computers in this country. We see a stock market rally, and new domestic energy sources coming on line, and the percents of foreign petroleum imports is steadily declining. The price of gasoline is down, and is slated to fall even further by the new year. We told you last time about now the enactment of new laws has and will continue to help out people with under water mortgages, to keep their homes. We have isolated hikes in home sale prices in excess of 20 percent in the past year. Actually one of the reasons why small businesses might be a bit timid is because of the revised bankruptsy laws, that put fear of failure back into the mix, as factors advising caution and not risk capital in expansion, less they suffer financial reverses. Of course unlike people like Mitt Romney - - small businesses cant "roll over" a good income year and defer incom taxes till the second Tuesday of next week. In fact even my Mom is so rich she has to pay "quarterly estamates" of income. Were it me I'd just say "Like you people delay your refunds to the end of the year and get to use my withheld income for free, so I'll give you an Estamate, all right. But I'm not PAYING anything untill I bloody well have to, next April 15th." I'll see you then. Have a nice day!
In terms of the whole gay thing - - Judge Antonon Scelia says that certain "acts" should be criminal as abhorrent to societal norms - even is done between concenting adult. After all you can't get an out with a "consenting child' or "consenting animal" or even a consenting half sister you met for the first time in your life last week. - - and people like Scelia suggest that it's the whole idea of two members of the same sex "doing it" that bars any sort of recognizable legal status be it marriage or whatever, as something that "just isn't done in society". Of course a lot of it goes back to the Griswald decision and here I have to agree with scelia. That is - - this grim pre curser to Roe vs Wade- - I believe was wrongly decided. This is because the "right to privacy" does not Exist in the constitution. Does that mean I'm suddenly all FOR acts like the Patriot Act that involve massive government snooping into our personal affairs? Hell no! The distinction is the Wording in the US Constitution. They don't use the word "Privacy" but they do say that we have the right to be - - Secure - - Secure is the word - - in our persons, papers and personal effects, from government search. Secure means just that. We have our proprietary rights to these things "nailed down" or "secured" like a boat in a mooring, so that they don't just "drift away" in government entanglement. There is nothing in the word "Private" which cloaks illegal activities. No act per see is "legal" merely just because it is a "private act". It's just as easy from a legal stand point to comit an "illeagel act" in private - as it is in Public. Where I do make a distinction, as does the Law- - is that there IS a whole dynamic of "Public" verses "Private". We have "Public standards of decency" so you can't expose yourself in public. But also there are numerous other areas where we hold PUBLIC to a higher standard. We have Public schools vs private. We have Publicly held corporations vs private. We have Public Organizations verses private clubs. We hold public places as conforming to higher archetectural standards being outfitted with such things as wheel chair access ramps that we would not demand of a private dwelling. I hope I clarified that. As I said previously this whole Gay Marriage thing is a generational issue- - kind of like what pot smoking was to my generation. If you're over fifty you just won't relate. (50 is the new 35)
Well tomorrow is 12 - 12 - 12. That auspicious date will be upon us at last. As you know I am looking for some "cosmic sign" to appear, and perhaps more. We'll see. Of course there is that big blow out bash Benefit Concert for the victims of Hurricane Sandy. All the big luminaries will be there such as Paul Mc Cartney and the Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen. Of course the wedding industry is gearing up for the big day. I wonder how many of those will be gay marriages. The flowers industry doesn't care, as long as they get the business. Anyhow if your anniversary of 12 - 12 - 12 you husbands will have no excuse to forget anniversories. My anniversory was on a less auspicious date of August 14th 1981, an anniversary of the death of Elvis' mother. Things have come together well in my life including today- - and I think I am closer to "having my stuff together" than I have been in a long time. Cosmically like I say - - I had that dream connected with the star Sirius going super nova starting on a certain date, and continuing to go super nova on this date every year thereafter and a certain elite celebrate it. We'll see.
I'm starting off my typing by talking about that Portland Mall shooting. When the story promo first appeared on the air the Portland Reigelians chimed in saying "That isn't on our watch. Things like that don't happen in our territory. It must have happened to the south of here, probably". As it turned out once they had the story it turned out the Mall was to the south of Portland. The Portland Reigelians are more northern Portland, and primarily in the down town area. They also are fans of KPOJ, and they say they are going to take steps to get progressive talk back on the air on that station, and a lot of people in the Portland area are working and petitioning on accomplishing just that. Of course the Portland Reigelians are half of the "Northern Romulans" also known as Tularians. This is the group we said that from Sirius A was "a planet not far from here" but they wouldn't specifically identify it". (I think the term actually means "star") Of course these Northern Romulans take pride in their part in contributing to the Beatles really early sound, pre Neir Reigellian, and pre Syracruse Romulan. (and pre Federation, for that matter) These Northern Romulans claim Tommy Roe as their own, when I was unsure of his origen, and Tommy Roe was a great early advocate of the Beatles' sound. They said that Epstein and Sheridon - - are Northern Romulanized - - which is to say it's Sirius O DNA basically that has "environmentally evolved' from spending time on that "Northern Romulan" star. Needless to say they are fans of the term "Northern Music". They rather like it. Of course the Romulans I grew up with are often disparagingly called Pure Bred Romulans - - or "nativists" by residents of Sirius A to distinguish them from the Hamburg slash Torranto Romulans - - who again have undergone some "environmental evolution" over the past few centuries from being away from their homeland. One trait is that they adopted the Meter as the unit of measurement instead of the just larger Romulan Meter, often translated Romulan Yard. Then the Romulans I know moved South (from Vancouver) - - they adopted the original Romulan Yard but they re-coined the term "California Meter". The standard Meter is 39.37 inches whereas the Romulan Meter is 39.6 meter. Their football field is thus 99 or our yards, of ninety yards in their own measurement- - and in geometric fashion regard the 45 yard line as the "middle' of the field. I have a little more to paste over - but I'll just do it Live. Bones visited me last Saturday night after the Christmas party. And I appreciated his remarks. Again he was full of "sympathy strokes" which makes a person feel better. But he also mentioned that on Sirius B, they have come down on two groups "Van Halen" and "The Eagles' as rock groups with "Really bad management" and I think the actual term translates "shitty". They don't like the "Management" of these groups, for a whole lot of personal reasons. Of course "Van Halen" was initually endorsed by KISS, which is a Sirius B group in good standing. "But- - - they didn't continue in KISS's footsteps". They regard the Van Halen brothers as the founders of the group. David Lee Roth has Reigel sixer connections - - and "the lead vocalists aren't material" in their view. And they think the Eagles are nothing but "A Federation pre-fab group - - like the Monkees or something". I've never heard the Eagles ever described that way before.
