Is it really possible to help Japan and others?

As i see more and more news reports and video of the exstensive damage over there the more I realize that I live in a spot that is relatively free of these types of natural disasters, they need food, fresh water, medications and a lot more people then are currently working to dig through the rubble for survivors and victims. to be honest from some of the footage I have seen they need super size dozers to clear everything out and start over from scratch, of course with a nuclear plant on the verge of melt down that could become irrelevant. Perhaps the only thing that will really help right now is complete evacuation to mainland Asia somewhere or other places as well, how far do you have to flee to escape a nuclear cloud or is there anyplace far enough away to be safe?. Than I see that the french are talking about invading Libya isnt that like pissing on a forest fire or something? If the Soviet Union couldnt defeat Afghanistan what makes the inept ass French think they can beat Libya? What would they accomplish other than pissing off a bunch of extremist groups and open themselves up to multiple terrorist attacks, oh I know maybe all those assholes would leave us in the United States alone for awhile and concentrate on the French that would be a good thing for us out of that mess. Just some food for thought have a great day and a better tomorrow,"Chance Favors the Prepared Mind."

So what is next?

Now I see where Japan is having much more intense problems with a nuclear power plant exploding, can you say fallout,nuclear winter anyone?. Actually eerily ironic that this happened in Japan dont you think? now after the earthquake and the tsunami they have to deal with nuclear fallout from a power plant exploding due to the earthquake damage, I see all these places for helping Japan pop up and as it turns out the best help for them may be evacuation in whole if this new problem is not contained very soon.

Were the Mayans right after all?

In recent months there have been earthquakes in places where there shouldnt be Oklahoma for instance,Nebraska for another winters have been longer and harsher than they have in a century. Some people interperate the Mayan calendar as predicting the end of the world this is untrue, what it predicts is the end of one age and the start of another. The last time this happened was 12,000 years ago anybody remember there school lessons about the last ice age?, perhaps it is time for the population of the world to wake up to the fact that some serious things are going down. the Earthquake and resultant Tsunami in Japan and the rest of the Paciffic basin is just one more sign that nature is pissed and working on getting even with humanity, why you ask look how badly we have mangled the planet with all our mining and nuclear arms tests and drilling for oil and such. Is it any wonder that people are moving away from the coasts and farther inland? perhaps thinking this will spare them from coming events? will moving accomplish this feat I guess that only time will tell

something very cool

The Sack Lunches

I put my carry-on in the luggage compartment and sat down in my
assigned seat. It was going to be a long flight. 'I'm glad I have a good
book to read Perhaps I will get a short nap,' I thought.

Just before take-off, a line of soldiers came down the aisle and
filled all the vacant seats, totally surrounding me. I decided to start a
conversation. 'Where are you headed?' I asked the soldier seated nearest to
me.

'Petawawa. We'll be there for two weeks for special training, and then we're
being deployed to Afghanistan

After flying for about an hour, an announcement was made that sack lunches
were available for five dollars. It would be several hours before we
reached the east, and I quickly decided a lunch would help pass the time..

As I reached for my wallet, I overheard soldier ask his buddy if he planned
to buy lunch. 'No, that seems like a lot of money for just a sack lunch.
Probably wouldn't be worth five bucks. I'll wait till we get to base '

His friend agreed.

I looked around at the other soldiers. None were buying lunch. I walked to
the back of the plane and handed the flight attendant a fifty dollar bill.
'Take a lunch to all those soldiers.' She grabbed my arms and squeezed
tightly. Her eyes wet with tears, she thanked me. 'My son was a soldier in
Iraq ; it's almost like you are doing it for him.'

Picking up ten sacks, she headed up the aisle to where the soldiers were
seated. She stopped at my seat and asked, 'Which do you like best- beef or
chicken?'

'Chicken,' I replied, wondering why she asked. She turned and went to the
front of plane, returning a minute later with a dinner plate from first
class. 'This is your thanks.'

After we finished eating, I went again to the back of the plane,
heading for the rest room. A man stopped me. 'I saw what you did. I want
to be part of it. Here, take this.' He handed me twenty-five dollars.

Soon after I returned to my seat, I saw the Flight Captain coming down the
aisle, looking at the aisle numbers as he walked, I hoped he was not looking
for me, but noticed he was looking at the numbers only on my side of the
plane. When he got to my row he stopped, smiled, held out his hand, an
said, 'I want to shake your hand.'

Quickly unfastening my seatbelt I stood and took the Captain's hand. With a
booming voice he said, 'I was a soldier and I was a military pilot. Once,
someone bought me a lunch. It was an act of kindness I never forgot.' I
was embarrassed when applause was heard from all of the passengers.

Later I walked to the front of the plane so I could stretch my legs. A man
who was seated about six rows in front of me reached out his hand, wanting
to shake mine. He left another twenty-five dollars in my palm.

When we landed I gathered my belongings and started to deplane.
Waiting just inside the airplane door was a man who stopped me, put
something in my shirt pocket, turned, and walked away without saying a word..
Another twenty-five dollars!

Upon entering the terminal, I saw the soldiers gathering for their trip to
the base. I walked over to them and handed them seventy-five dollars. 'It
will take you some time to reach the base. It will be about time for a
sandwich. God Bless You.'

Ten young men left that flight feeling the love and respect of their fellow
travelers. As I walked briskly to my car, I whispered a prayer for their
safe return. These soldiers were giving their all for our country. I could
only give them a couple of meals.

It seemed so little...

A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life,wrote a blank check made
payable to ' America for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'

That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no
longer understand it.'

Living with Inlaws SUCKS

Due to the great economic downturn of the last few years we lost our store our house and pretty much everything else including our collective sanity, however we were able to move in to my Father in Laws house which was fine at first. However since that time my brother in law and his girlfriend and her two kids as well as my wifes neice from Kansas have all moved in as well, if you ever want to be stressed out and place undue stress on your relationship with the in laws live with them. My brother in law acts as if it's his house and like everyone should bend over backwards to kiss him and hiss girlfriends asses, they are not special or better than anyone else here hell at least I have a job which is more than I can say for him. He is all the time screaming and hollering at my kids and tries sticking his nose in my business when I am dealing with them which about led to blows a few days ago so he backed off from that situation, thing is as soon as possible like right after the school year ends my wife and kids and I are moving to texas.

How Revolting.

I was going through the news on my Yahoo the other day and I stopped to read the article about their still being huge amounts of oil on the floor of the Gulf of Mexico, they have their point and counter point on it and the experts claim that the gulf region will be returned to normal by 2012 and other drivel like that. For one thing I am not an expert on the subject but I am fairly certain that it will take more than two years for the region to recover more along the lines of centuries I would think, but what really got my attention was the first comment below where some JACKWAGON claimed that the Republicans were killing baby dolphins now I am sorry but all of this happened two years after George Bush left office and had nothing to do with him or the Republican party for that matter it had nothing to do with the Democratic party either at least not directly, you could maybe blame the Obama administration for the slow response time just as they did Bush during Katrina.
My point However is if you must assign blame assign it correctly such as B.P. who owned the rig that exploded or maybe to the JACKWAGON company that built the faulty ass rig to begin with, wasnt that second oil rig built by the same company? does anyone see a pattern in this? As for the Yahoo Assclown that blamed the Republicans get over it that might have worked for 2009 sort of but unless Obama has suddenly changed parties in mid term the Democrats are the more likely perpetrators for your argument. Have a great day and a better tomorrow"Chance Favors the Prepared Mind".

Innane laws or attempts at making them

I saw a while back that the state of California was trying to yet again pass video game legislation, basically prohibiting sales of certain games to minors and if said games were sold then levying rediculous fines on the retailers. First off to me at least that is way over stepping a States authority in matters such as this, they were saying that these games led to an increase in the chances of these kids committing violent crimes. My 13 year old son and I play dead rising quite often and frankly enjoy the hell out of it, running zombies over with snow blowers and lawn mowers, picking one up with a drill bit and using it to annihalate others until it disintigrates. Great entertainment and quality bonding time is what it is for us, he also plays grand theft auto saints row call of duty and all these so called corrupting games as do I. He is also an A and B student in school and has no tendecies towards violence or violent behavior, he is intelligent enough to know that these games are fantasy perhaps if the parents paid more attention to their children instead of whatever it is they are caught up in then these kids would be at home gaming with their parents instead of out being stupid food for thought.
