Reality TV: An Inexpensive DWI Solution

Think one moment about the money involved in management of disease. Like management of crime and illegal drugs, the hope for a cure would simply "not be profitable." Each night we are bombarded with reality television and we wonder about the phenomenon.

Below is a link to a short, but very powerful video. You want a more responsible society, show them this reality. Then say to yourself, "WE MUST CHANGE OUR FOCUS TO TARGET CURE INSTEAD OF "DISEASE MANAGEMENT PROFITS." Please turn on your sound.





Now, imagine this as a weekly reality television program.

Margaret Thatcher's Last Speech

Today Margaret Thatcher died. She will be remembered as one of the greatest Prime Ministers in Britain's history. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's final speech, provided in this video, reminds us why we loved her so.

Are You Falling For North Korea......

It pains me to think we could be deceived into believing a big war is about to break out with North Korea. I am reminded of the very political prosecutor, who makes a mountain out of a molehill, not for justice, but only for political gain. Then he runs around thumping his chest while telling the voting public, "See what I've done."

"Chinese troops amassing at the North Korean border,' 'American B2 bombers stage flybys over Korean peninsula,' 'North Korea moves missiles to eastern seaboard," etc., all of these messages coming from our compliant media. Who will be the saving politician here, the one who gets the glory for saving America from a North Korean nuclear attack? Let me guess. Can you?

One thing is very clear. Americans buy a lot of goods from China and China really needs the revenue from American consumers, China's biggest customer.  You can see where I am going with this. So please, do not be afraid. Instead, contact your congressman and senator daily to let them know you are tired of this nonsense. They know how important it is for Americans to continue to buy goods tagged with "Made In China."

This North Korean "wag the dog" only has me concerned with what is really being hidden from us.

A Winning Solution To Classroom Crisis

A teacher that I know was crying the other day. She was crying because her job had become such an emotional burden. She wants to teach and has done very well as a teacher for the past 29 years. Her ability, however, is now burdened with children and parents who just don't care. It is true, teachers have transitioned into babysitters due to societal needs. Large class sizes coupled with a few undisciplined children inhibit her ability to teach. You can bet she is not alone.
I have said it before and I will say it again. teachers need to go on a nationwide strike right now. This strike should be different. Strike for more discipline, not more money. Parental support will be magnified with this type of strike. I can even see parents walking the picket line with them. With more discipline measures gained from such a strike, the teacher is now able to teach with a lot less stress and emotional sacrifice. For added measure, police agencies could be and, in my opinion, should be required to drop in and walk a "hall beat" from time to time. In the very least, the police agencies, might do this at random, without any additional cost to that agency. It makes sense, i.e., more discipline equates to less crime. Since schools hold a confined population and every where else in society where people are gathered, police tend to be present, how can this be argued?
With such a simple solution, we could get more discipline and the added safety of a police officer's presence. These officers could even hold gun safety classes as opposed to the "demonization" of guns that is so prevalent in school systems today. Imagine the world with more disciplined and respectful children, eating gun shaped pop tarts.

"You've lost that bloated feeling..... oooh that bloated feeling.....

The blog title should be sung to the words "You've lost that loving feeling..." Did you know there is a very simple solution to getting rid of, in the very least, easing "that bloated feeling?" I know, as well as many others, of this very simple remedy. If followed regularly, you will feel less bloated, while at the very same time, you wil lose a few pounds. Do I now I have your attention? Before you call me a blowhard, I will go ahead and spill the beans. Believe me, with this remedy, you will have no problem eating richer foods or adding more beans and other fibers to your diet.
Lemon is key. Of course we all know eating a peppermint or two after a big dinner always eases the mind and helps keep a stomach settled. After all, how many digestive aids have a slight peppermint or minty flavor? But lemon, pure squeezed lemon into water after a meal works wonders. Because I am bigger than most people, 6' 3" at 225 pounds, I squeeze one whole lemon into 8 ounces of water. Smaller frames could get by with 1/2 lemon in 8 ounces of water. No sugar or any other ingredient, period. I mean that now!!
For me, the lemon regimen is every morning before coffee. The charge I get from the nutritious lemon is more awakening than any charge from the caffeinated coffee. Why do you think we call lemon with water lemonade or lemonaid? Because it is a very natural aid without the sugar. Believe me, you will feel better very quickly.
After drinking the sour or tart lemon water, wait a while and rinse your mouth with water and swallow. You will see whiter teeth within a week, a little more sensitive for sure. But, with personal adjustments to your own body requirements, you will feel less bloated, you WILL lose weight, and you just can not help but thank yourself for that pretty smile looking back at you in the mirror.
Research all you want about lemon. You will be glad you did. Later, we can discuss the LEMONADE DIET.

A Great Little League Baseball Book For Boys

How refreshing to hear my 11 year old nephew tell me about a book he had read. You see, like so many young kids these days, he does not read a book very often. However, this Little League baseball book for boys called LITTLE LEAGUE HEROES really clicked with my sister's 12 year old son. Take the PDF Version now, just click here. You can also order the paperback by clicking here or the KINDLE eBook edition by clicking here. Of course, when I asked the 12 year old young man, "tell me what makes LITTLE LEAGUE HEROES such a good baseball book for boys like you to read," his only response was, "I loved LITTLE LEAGUE HEROES because the story really made me think about some of my teammates."

He then went on to tell me about certain players in the book and how they came from different parts of town. The kid talked about their "fortunes" and "misfortunes," and the struggles the players and parents went through as the season progressed. But his eyes lit up when he told me how LITTLE LEAGUE HEROES ended. No doubt, he really enjoyed the book.

LITTLE LEAGUE HEROES seemed to work magic on my nephew. It obviously is a wonderful Little League baseball book for boys to read.

It just makes sense, doesn't it?

There is a number that is used to determine how much security is needed per number of people. One only has to look at a population of a city and divide it by the number of "police" officers to arrive at a figure we can work with here. Let's say one police officer per 750 people.
In a school setting, we can have thousands of "un-disciplined" children and young adults running around daily. Yet, they are not protected at all. Is it not the duty of our "police" organizations to protect? Why not "kill two birds with one stone" here? With one armed officer, say per 750 people, our society receives the protection our tax dollars pay for and the kids, because of the police presence, behave with a little more discipline. It is their duty to "protect and serve."
Maybe discipline is not what is wanted. After all, we have quite a few very large corporations building prisons for profit all over this free country. With less than 5% of the worlds population, the US has over 26% of the worlds prisoners. Are we really that bad?
We need more discipline in our classrooms, period. It is where our kids spend one third of their lives during their formative years!!

Striking For The Wrong Reasons, Teachers!!

Unless you are prepared to really think, for at least one minute, about the picture you will draw in your mind after reading the very next paragraph, then please stop reading now.

Can you imagine having to instruct 25 - 45 "UN-DISCIPLINED" kids every day for one hour? Imagine doing this with different groups of 25 - 45 "UN-DISCIPLINED" kids each hour for six additional hours. In other words, spending 7 hours per day with 7 different groups of  25 - 45 "UN-DISCIPLINED" kids. That is 175 - 315 "UN-DISCIPLINED" kids a day. Please, can you draw a picture in your mind now?

Wouldn't you want to contact your union and demand a strike for a higher salary?

Of course you would, but why? What word appears to be stand out in this discussion so far? So why are our teachers striking for more pay and risking alienation of the average tax-payer? They should force, demand immediately, their unions to require more "DISCIPLINE" in the classroom environments. By striking for more "DISCIPLINE," widespread support is generated from all teachers, administrators, parents, guardians, students, even non-union workers. "DISCIPLINE" is what is missing in so many of our schools in The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. If the student receives disciplined structure everyday, might that have a positive societal impact? Who would argue with that?

Teachers love their students and students love their teachers. Think about your favorite teacher. With more "DISCIPLINE" in the classroom, our teachers can teach. They can teach with a lot less stress. They can fall back in love with teaching. Because their job will become easier, they will feel they are properly compensated.

STRIKING FOR MORE CLASSROOM DISCIPLINE IS A VERY BALANCED AND A VERY BASIC FIRST STEP APPROACH FOR  IMPROVING THE AMERICAN EDUCATION SYSTEM!

Say it ain't so!!

Great Book about Little League Baseball

I know baseball season is just around the corner but I found a fantastic Little League book written as if it came from the mind of the Little Leaguer himself. It captures a young boy's dreams and the daily dramas in a very real way. The author does a good job of creating the personality of each player and developing their character. By doing so, the book draws you into their daily lives and the struggles they go through as they slowly develop into a very competitive team. Yes, it is a book about Little League Baseball. However, it brings out some of the conflicts that our youth still struggle with today and puts them in a very positive light. In the intersection of our lives with baseball, this perfect book for any young boy stands up as a must read!

Fortunately, it is in both E-book and paperback formats. If your child likes sports, particularly a team sport like baseball, he will love this book! The name of the book is Little League Heroes, authored by Joe Jackson.
