Judge Beating Daughter

The judge may have gone a little overboard but people have to put themselves in his position of frustration with a rebelling child.  The sad thing here is that he was trying to correct her behavior and teach her there are rules that must be obeyed.  She has now ruined his life and removed any chance of his teaching her to obey rules.  She has also removed all chances of anyone correcting her behavior and has freed herself to to anything she wants when she wants and nobody can stop her.  That is until she does something criminal and then she may find her punishment is a prison term.  There she may be beaten over and over, raped, stabbed or worse killed.  Someone needs to explain to me how being whipped with a belt is worse than prison.  Which punishment is more abusive?  My father exercised corporal punishment on me and I turned out fine and now that I'm 64 years old and see where my life has taken me, I thank him for every lash I received.  I'm a better person for being taught to obey the rules of society.  When you know what your punishment will be,  fear of that punishment will in most cases keep you from doing the acts.  If a person knows his/her punishment will be mild,  that person will do the act and say it was worth the punishment.   The press who run the story and society which is taking a condemning stand are responsible.  If this girl turns out to be a bad apple, it is the press and society who are responsible not the father who tried to teach her through corporal punishment.  Even Doctor Spock eventually recanted his opinion about no corporal punishment.

Moammar Gadhafi is Dead

 Moammar Gadhafi is dead!  It seems this should be a good thing but I'm wondering what we will get in his place.  All the turmoil in the world today make me wonder if things are not being set up for the new world order of the appocolypse

Government Shutdown Threat Again???

We don't need a government shutdown!  We need to shutdown Congress!  These guys are playing the American People for FOOLS!

We the people of the United States of America, need to begin a campaign to vote all encumbent Members of Congress out of office.  They have no interest in what is good for us, only what is good for them.  They couldn't agree that the sky is blue or grass is green.  Republicans and Democrats alike have lost their ability to represent the people of America.  Some times I wonder if the Comunist of the world haven't financed the election of these people to office with the specific goal of bringing down this great nation.

Execution of Cop Killer

Several witnesses testified under oath during the trial which resulted in the guilty verdict and thus the death sentence.   Now several years later the witnesses are recanting their testimony.  Are they admitting now that they committed perjury during the trial?  If so, they have created a situation where it's possible an Innocent man was put to death.  Why then, are prosecutors not seeking charges against these witnesses who are recanting?

Regardless, if anyone is responsible for a miscarriage of justice in this case, it is the witnesses who are now recanting!

Power Outages

We have had so many power outages in my neighborhood recently that caused me to go buy a generator.  Yesterday, power went out and I waited an hour for it to come back on before I pulled out the generator and started it up.  Ran all the extentions and just as I started plugging things in, the power came back on.  Not complaining about the effort exerted to pull out the generator.  Just glad the power came back on!  Wonder  why the power company is having so much trouble keeping the power going.  I understand when there's a big huricane or snow storm but yesterday there was nothing.

US Economic Recovery

The government put billions of dollars into bailing out the banks!  Those banks have paid back most of that money, so now put that money into, I suggest that a new automobile be developed that gets 50 mpg or better and set up the infrastructure to build it.  I believe this can be done with Turbo Diesel Technology.  No parts of the automobile will be built outside the United States so if you can't get it here now, build a factory to make it.  Make all the factories non union but pay all employees a fair wage with benefits.

Once produced,  give incentive to buy the product.  Forgo sales taxes when purchased or forgo property taxes for the first 3 years of ownership.  Offer free service for the first two years.

Diagnostic Test

I have a diagnostic test today.  Just hoping I can dodge the big C!
