National Recognition

Memphis has been been noticed nationally for crime and for driving. The reporters came to town and said things I’ve been saying about the crime in Memphis. They said things about Memphis drivers I knew for for decades.

Yet, I suspect not many will pay attention to me, or the reporters. So, busineses will continue to shut down. People will continue to move away, mostly the law abiding ones. Generally, those who would have stores and such will pull up stakes and leave.

If things continue, FedEx will close their hub. The ball teams will find other places to play where it’s safer. Then, invariably, even the leaders, the dems who originated all the grief will draw up their anchors and find somewhere else to ruin, as they did with Memphis.

Why? Why? Why?

I’ve watched a number of the documeteries on TV about plane accidents. I have about come to the conclusion that plane accidents, as well as number of other things, are simply impossible without a chain of events leading up to them.

Because this happened, then this happens, which causes this. Then, suddenly people die or are injured. If any one of several things was prevented, the accident would have never ocurred.

Then after, people ask why did this happen? Why wasn’t this preveted? It is why things are checked, double checked and then tripple checked. It is why, before I pull out in traffic while driving, I double check and check again as I begin slowly moving.

I have never been in an OR during a procedure, that is while awake and alert. However, I imagine there is a lot of check and double checking there too. Do they not know the number of spunges they start with. Don’t they count them as they are used. I am sure they count them again to make sure they are all accounted for. Do they not check and double check all instruments are accounted for.

Moreover, the doctor, as much as possible, explains what will be done and what might go wrong. When the doctor put the stints in my heart he gave me a complete blow by blow what he would do and might go wrong. In a calm matter of fact way, he told of the chances that I might die. Incidentally, he caused a heart attack and I almost did. Things do happen on very basic procedures.

On the other hand, a young woman can walk into an abortion clinic, plop down a check. Then after a short time, she will walk out without the baby.

There is no true councoling. Requiremets for a germ free environment don’t exist. If someting goes wrong, they might need to transport her to a hospital. Finally, the doctor is not reqired to explain what he is going to do, how much pain it will cause the baby or what complications might happen.

So, I ask, why can’t the doctor be required to explain what he will do and what might happen?

Why shouldn’t the doctor be required to meet a proper steril environment? Why shouldn’t the clinic be reqired to be close to a hospital in case something goes wrong?

Finally, why shouldn’t the abortionist be required to have at least one follow up visit?

2024

And what is the significance of that year? I asked myself the question. Then I got to thinking of all those UHauls leaving blue states. It is quite conceivable each one represents a family. Before too long, even the illegal aliens will be seeking somewhere safer.

It makes me wonder how many representitives and electors they will lose in six years. Can you imagine a California with less than 30 and a New York with, maybe 20. If Detroit keeps sending jobs abroad, well they don’t even have the beaches of Califonia or the ski slopes of Colorado.

Dems just might start thinking about panicking.

Over Again

Well, one of the US’s biggest 3 day events is about done… again.

Saturday, everyone talked about what will happen. Sunday, most everyone remains glued in front of their TV watching what happens, and frequently find it difficult to believe. A few very exceptionally athletically qualified men, make it happen, while enduring pain.

Now we are near the end of the third day where almost everyone talks about the event. Many are fans of the winners. Some are fans of those suffering the loss. There is no need speeking of the players themselves other than that they are going through great emotion.

Regardless of which group, they all are saying they can’t wait till next year. This, even though we must.

A Simple Admission

Bush Light is aparently more than willing to pay out the advertising millions to recover their market share.

It’s a shame they didn’t decide to just admit that what they did was wrong and promise to never do it again. I would have been far less expesive and more effective too

By doing it the way they did, they have dug their heels in and they’ve implied they are not altering their beliefs, not at all. The fear is too great of the reprisals from the left, especially those that are proud of their rainbow flag.

Not Intrested

Can someone please tell me again just why the lotto results take nearly 5 minutes every night. 1 I fail to see it as real news. Certainly, there are those that want to see if they are millionairs.

I question the advertisers logic. Do they really want to use their ad money on us watching someone acting thrilled as they read resuts with ongoing suspence.

Okay. I own big corp. I am not a big advertising exec. Still, to me, it looks like a real waste of ad time.

Just saying. When the lotto info come on, I switch channels. I don’t waste my money on lottos. I can’t imagine why anyone would.

Well, Big Day Manana

Of course, I am writing this on Saturday, the day before one of the most important days of of the year. At least many think so. Some have suggested that we make a holiday out of the Monday following.

That is a little curious as the root word is holy. In essence, that would mean making a holy day out of the day following a sport avent. I understand though. Who would want a car built on the Monday after the Super Bowl? I wouldn’t.

Let’s face it. There is likely a large percetage of folks coming in with hangovers. Even if not, many will be tired, especially those on the west coast.

There is another aspect, a 2 sided coin. Just how much time at work will be spent making armchair, post game decisions. Who all will be second guessing the the calls of the referees.

On the other side of the coin, what if no one goes into work Monday? Look at all that pentup desire to disguss the game and there’s no one to talk with about it. I mean, if everyone stays home, who are you going to tell about that lousy call the ref made?

Maybe what we need is an official half day. Everyone goes to work as normal. For the first 4 hours, everyone has a post game party where everyone disgusses the game. The rest of the day, normal.

Regardless, the vast majority of TVs will be tuned to the game while the game is on, and of course, virtually everything else will cease, especially every level of government. As far as I know, it is truely the only thing to cause all activity in Congress to cease.

There is one other thing that makes me wonder. Does the serious crime rate go up or down before, during and after the little contest. Even more, what happens to the stats during half-time. Just how badly do the crooks want to see the half-time show.

Simple Answer: Yes

Do you want a measure? 9 years in the Marines, 1 in Vietnam.

Do you want a declaration? I thankfully say the Pledge of Aligence while standing. I still stand during The National Anthem. It angers me when others don’t.

The real measure though, I use what ever is legally available to discourage domestic efforts to destroy our Consttution, the one that protect even those that hate it.

I salute and hold in high esteme those who served before me, some of whom gave their life.

It really bothers me when people take it for granted and trod under foot that which most in this world would treasure more than money.
