DO NOT PANIC - DO NOT SELL YOUR STOCK

The rich, selfish, sons of roaches bringing you the US shut down seem to believe they can AGAIN steal your life savings by causing panic. Just wait them out. As much as these sons of diseased camels seem to think they can force us to do their will, they are WRONG.

In spite of the incredibly stupid and hurtful sequester, the US economy is repairing itself. It is too bad our decaying bridges, highways and courthouses can not repair themselves. These selfish idiots WANT uneducated children, because educated people can all see how crazy these people are.

Their leaders change almost daily. I particularly enjoy watching Senator "Aren't I CUTE" Cruz. He must practice the CUTE look in front of his bathroom mirror. (When I was 12, I spent HOURS in front of the bathroom mirror perfecting raising just ONE eyebrow. I have been told by intimidated others that it was time well spent.)

I hope all you in the red states realize that you can NOT get rid of these idiots until you fix the gerrymandering that keeps them in office. California solved this problem. May I recommend adopting our plan? Please remember that it is very easy for a legislature to gerrymander. So be VERY CAREFUL if you are thinking of variations to the California plan.

ARE THE KOCH BROTHERS SABOTAGING OBAMACARE?

I hear rumors that the Koch Brothers are giving BIG BUCKS to stop Obamacare. Could the Koch Brothers be forcing Republicans to shut down the US government in a snit over insurance coverage for the sick, the poor, and the self employed?

I feel sorry for the Koch Brothers. Often, people raised by rich white supremacists are unable to understand that their brown gardener is a PERSON.

This sympathy does not extend to their playing corporate games with the entire US economy in order to prevent the uninsured from becoming insured.

Some rich corporate types are extremely controlling. They recognize that if their employees are able to get reasonably priced health insurance, their employees might decide to become self employed. In other words, they hold their employees as semi-slaves working, not for wages, but for health care coverage of them, their spouses, and their children.

You need to stop thinking of Obamacare as forcing you to get health insurance.

THINK OF OBAMACARE AS FREEING YOU TO BE ALL THAT YOU CAN BE!

I have been self employed for almost my entire life. Do you think that the Koch Brothers would have prevented me from blogging if they could?

THIS FIGHT FOR OBAMACARE IS THE FIGHT FOR US ALL TO HAVE THE FREEDOM TO START YOUR OWN APPLE, INTEL, OR GOOGLE.

CONGRATULATIONS, LARRY!

The Oracle America's Cup team has pulled off the greatest sports comeback of the twenty first century.

However, even Larry must have noticed the muted applause, and distinct lack of media coverage.

Here, in Silicon Valley, where Larry and I live and work, we are all concerned with the business of electronic communications, how to use technology to make work easier, and fun more accessible.

But we also recognize that unbridled competitiveness is extremely destructive. Attorneys are not gladiators and courts are not the coliseum. Unless we refund and energize the old Legal Aid system, the rich will continue to say, "I will fight you in court until you run out of money. And I have WAY more money than you do."

You do not have to actually read the Story of Midas or watch Citizen Kane, but the synopsis in Wikipedia will miss the emotional impact of turning your daughter into a golden statue or the stark black and white images of a lonely death surrounded by so much stuff that most of it is still in boxes.

MELODRAMA IN CONGRESS -- THE REASON

Republicans DO NOT WANT US TO DISCOVER that the LONG HEALTH INSURANCE NIGHTMARE is OVER. We no longer have to wake in the middle of the night worried about whether we will get sick, or whether we can actually afford to get a new hip.

As a streetfront attorney, I often advised people that the only way to deal with mounting medical bills was to declare bankruptcy. I listened to confessions about tweeking the system in order to become insured. I listened to the fears of laid off workers who could not find insurance, because they had gone to a doctor for a sinus infection. I had nightmares about my young friends being permanently crippled because they could not afford health care.

On October 1, the nightmare will be over for many of us. You will not believe how easy it is going to be to sign up for health insurance. You will get your tax credit as an immediate deduction from your insurance premiums.

Republicans have been keeping us in fear regarding Obamacare. Such FEAR IS ONLY POSSIBLE IN THE FACE OF THE UNKNOWN.

IS THE TEA PARTY INSANE?

Einstein defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. This is the Tea Party's forty second (42nd) attempt to defund Obamacare.

Of course, there is always the possibility that the Tea Party has heard that 42 is the answer to everything. %<).

Personally, I think trying to rob from the sick to give to the rich is insanity.

Also, these num nuts do not seem to understand that the Chinese buy US bonds ON THE OPEN MARKET. The US does not go to China and ask for money. The US puts its bonds up for sale to ANYONE IN THE WORLD.

Switzerland managed to remain neutral during two world wars that engulfed Europe, because EVERYONE had their money in Swiss banks. If China is actually keeping a large portion of its savings in US bonds, they are unlikely to harm the US. THE SAVINGS THEY LOSE WILL BE THEIR OWN.

In any event, the bonds are sold on the open market. It is called capitalism and a free market economy.

THESE ARE NOT HONOR KILLINGS

Killing young lovers is DISHONORABLE. These killings bring DISHONOR on your family, your caste, your province, and your country.

The killing and mutilation of females is done in order to force females to cooperate in a planned human breeding program. The plan is to force females to mate only with the chosen males.

These breeding programs are always a failure. They produce people with intelligence, but no common sense.  Those who are convinced of their superiority because of "proper breeding" are almost always people so stupid that they believe something is true just because they said it was true.

The truth is that the poor are usually MUCH more intelligent and more capable at solving real world problems. It is MUCH more difficult to raise children when you have no money. As soon as the poor get proper nutrition, they produce some of the most admired people ever born. Ambedkar is an excellent example.

Here in the US, there seems to be an unspoken conspiracy to convince the poor that they should be impolite, undisciplined and uneducated, because that it what is "cool". Encouraging disadvantaged children to speak in slang means that they will never be able to communicate with decision makers.

This policy of using culture to keep people poor and downtrodden has been justified by saying, "I can not tell a poet what to write."

A COLD WAR STORY

I remember the fear that ordinary people felt during the Cuban Missile Crises in 1962. EVERYBODY was frightened. My uncle built a bomb shelter (later excellent for tornados).

In the midst of the crises, Fidel Castro flew to Russian. This was seen as VERY BAD NEWS.

When the KGB opened some of its records, the records showed that Khrushchev, the premier of the USSR (now Russia), did NOT try to make the crises worse. Instead Khrushchev used his time with Castro to show Castro films of the horrible deaths from atom bombs. Castro decided that he did not want such a weapon on his island.

Neither Khrushchev nor Castro ever discussed what happened.

Again, Russia stands alone trying to protect a dictator. But secretly, Russia may be trying to solve a crises that could loose chemical weapons into the hands of every terrorist in the world.

BTW, during the crises, my father explained again and again that radiation did not work like people seemed to think. I will follow his lead in trying to explain. Think of radiation as if it were fire. A fire bomb is scary and dangerous. Small fires are warm and friendly. It is the intensity and concentration that makes the difference.
