It amazes me these days, the republicans complained when democrats were in office that the democrats were using their majority to change rules now they want to do so themselves. The democrats were wrong to do so and should have uphold the laws and worked to get laws passed fairly. It amazes me these days that even though they were upset that it happened to them they want to use the same tools to pass their agenda.  Politicians are all alike they will bend rules to get their agenda’s passed.  Anyways if you would like to read more you can go to Bangor Daily News

Since Israel has become an independent country America has been deeply involved in the Middle East peace process. While Israelis and Palestinians continue to brutally kill each other and commit attocities we keep calling for peace,peace and peace. My problem is that the United States should butt out of Middle Eastern affairs. The main reason we are in the Middle East is to protect our own interests. That interest is oil. With a peaceful Middle East we guarantee our supply of oil.  I believe the United States should allow this process to go forward and let Israel and Palestine battle this out. The Middle East already believe we meddle in their affairs and try to destroy their culture. Extremist want to wipe us out because of our differences and the control and atrocities we perpetrate in the Middle East. Now I want to clarify that statement. I do not condone terrorism or the individuals who perpetrate such atrocities however we use our power and strength to meddle in the affairs of government’s in the Middle East. We need to stop trying to save the world and bailing out countries in the Middle East. Part of the reason they are angry is because of the support we have given Israel. Israel is a major point of contention between us and the Arab and Muslim world. We need to allow the Arabs, Muslims and Israelis to settle their own differences.  By doing so we reduce the risk of terrorism in the United States. Now getting back to the point.  The United Nations should not intervene because when the United Nations or league of nations intervened in the Treaty of Versailles and when we helped shape the world at the Potsdam Conference it didn’t bring peace. Anger, resentment and future conflicts were created when we tried to play create a nation. Even when the United Nations recognized Israel as a state it didn’t turn out well. Look at the wars and turmoil that has occurred since the creation of the Israel State. I believe that both the governments need to work this out and the international community needs to stay out. This would ease the tension and start to rebuild the relationship we have lost with the Arab and Muslim world.

I have great news, I am going to be getting a client with 25 hours. I was told that I was most likely going to start next week. It is nice to get back to work I am going to look forward to it. Though it is not full time yet I can always get another part time job until I have enough clients to cover full time. I also am going for my first aide and CPR certification on Tuesday so it should be fun and interesting. Finally something to do and I am going to be active again. I promise however to keep up2date on this site as I like to speak my mind and this is a great outlet for me.

My entire life I grew up a christian man. I was taught to be tolerant towards other even with different lifestyles that people who are gay are loved by god.  I was taught that we should not judge people on earth as god is the only one who can judge sins. I am for civil rights for homosexuals. I believe that they are people and deserve the same treatment everyone gets. I believe that gay individuals do have the right to get a civil union, but those laws need to reflect the same protections that marriage gives. I am happy don’t ask and don’t tell was taken down. It was a travesty in American history that we discriminated against people based on sexual preferences.  Now what amazes me is a solider asks a question to a republican candidate regarding don’t ask and don’t tell. A few individuals within the crowd booed but what amazes me is that the republicans didn’t stop that from happening and give honor to the solider who is protecting our freedoms. Regardless of his sexual preference he is protecting the freedoms of the American people included myself and he deserves respect. He risks his life everyday for us and it appalls me the behavior of certain republicans. It reminds me when racists came out during the campaign of  Sarah Palin and John McCain. They brought out a crowd of individuals who did have no respect for anyone and it appalled me just like this event did.  I know it is not party lines because their are racists and homophobes in every party and all walks of life but we should learn to love and care for one another and be tolerant regardless of sex, race, creed, or sexual preference.

Today in Washington agenda’s are top priority. Yes during election campaigns all candidates promise that they will act in our best interest but it is all a smoke screen. Every politician in Washington has an agenda and is trying to succeed at that agenda.The problem is that our country is deeply divided in the path that we want to go. We have the path of the democrats that want to continue to fund social programs and raise taxes however does not want look into current programs to make them efficient and to cut spending that is wasteful to save programs such as social security, student aide and various other programs that we as Americans are thankful to have. The republicans on the other hand would like nothing better than to cut spending and to prevent tax increases. They believe that by giving companies tax incentives and rich individuals tax breaks that they will bring jobs into the country. Lets look at that track record. George Bush set up many tax incentives and what did many industries do they moved jobs overseas. Their greed took over because in America making money and having wealth is more prosperous than helping individuals.  Then we have the tea party a shoot off from the republicans that believe we should cut all entitlements and other spending wastes. Let me see no student loans or subsidies for assistance with low income or middle class individuals to attend college. College will only be for the rich if the tea party has their way.  It is already happening now colleges and universities are so expensive that many of the professional jobs are going to individuals who were born in other countries in which their governments subsidize or pay for education. They believe in the future but if I mention the vary idea I would be labeled a socialist. No social security or other benefits such as food stamps. When companies lay off workers or cut salaries to make a profit the poor and the middle class will suffer. They will not have a safety net. What the tea party does not realize and the republicans is that welfare programs and food stamps were meant to help people in need. They were meant to be used short term as a crutch until the individual can get back to work.  The problem is that without this safety net the middle class and poor will have no options and ultimately suffer. The rich will continue to get rich and educated while the middle class will disappear becoming poor and destitute.  If the tea party and the Republicans have their way America will go backwards to when the top 1 percent owned just about everything in America. We will become slaves to the rich. Yes this is America and I am happy with my financial situation as money does not make one happy.  I know if I put my mind to it with hard work yes I could potentially make millions of dollars but if the tea party and other right wing terrorists  have their way their will be no options for people like myself who are going back to school with help from the federal government so that I can better myself and help our society. This does not mean that I full on democrat I believe they too have their faults. They want to continue spending without funding it causing our national debt to go up and the United States dollar to be weak.  What needs to be done is that both parties need to stop the partisan garbage that is going on. They need to set aside their own agendas and the agenda’s of their party and work together. The TEA PARTY members NEED to LEARN to WORK TOGETHER and COMPROMISE. I remember when Michelle Bachmann stated in the press that she does not compromise. Washington is all about compromise because the United States is not made up of the same beliefs. The good thing about living in a free economy is the freedom of speech and beliefs. With so many different beliefs and differences all parties need to learn to compromise. In life we may not get we want but by compromising and making a deal that moves this nation forward is a success. The behavior that we are witnessing in Washington currently is childish. The Republicans do not like the president and the democrats so they are trying to sabotage any deals going through. The Tea Party is sabotaging the Republican party in compromising with the Democrats. The democrats themselves are sabotaging themselves by not working with President Obama and trying to assist in balancing the budget. Their political party agenda’s and their selfishness are causing our great nation to crumble. They need to get over themselves and start working together because with team work we can heal this nation. The saddest notion about our nation is that it takes a tragedy like 9/11 to force America to work together. Our nation has forgotten our past mistakes and continues to make the same mistake. In a way we are going backwards not forward. This troubles me because I see our great nation fracturing.  Once I was proud to call myself an American not anymore because the United States has become selfish and unwilling to compromise to move our nation forward. We have grown selfish and evil not caring for our fellow man and this shows by the actions that our leaders are portraying. Our leaders need to wake up and work together to build a better America. A fair tax system needs to be put in place that taxes income based upon how much an individual makes. Loopholes that allow corporations and business discounts on their taxes need to be closed. Other loopholes that individuals use to take advantage of the tax system need to be closed. The programs we currently have in running in Washington need to be audited. Their is waste going on and we need to streamline processes to make these programs more functional. Abuse needs to be stopped individuals who are taking advantage of social programs meant to help individual need to be stopped.  We also need to fund education better as better educated individuals mean more opportunities for jobs in the United States and abroad. We also need to look at spending in the Department of Defense and other programs that aide other countries. We need to start focusing on America and stop being the protector of the world. Let the world do its own protecting as we need to focus on Americans. We also need to focus on energy independence so that we can stop wasting our precious resources on the middle east. I know that my suggestions are not easy and would take time and money. I believe that programs need to be changed to save money however it needs to be done with a scalpel instead of an ax. I also believe that the United States needs to put in term limits for congressman and senators. By limiting the amount of time a person can be elected new blood will get into office and it will also motivate individuals who do get elected to do their best as they have a limited time to instill their legacy on the United States. This would also prevent big business and interest groups from having permanent power in government. The people would be in control again as money elects people into office. The electoral college system needs to be fixed as it may have worked years ago but a limited few actually vote the president into office. The people need to take control of Washington again. We are not in control. A group of individuals who we trusted to protect our values and ideas are abusing our trust. I also believe that congressmen and senators should have their salaries cut and pay more for health costs based upon the economy. Why should all of America have to suffer and the elite in Washington feel no pain? We as Americans need to stand up to all political parties and politicians. We need to say “NO MORE” and take back the power and authority we gave them.  We need to get rid of the liberal democrats, right wing republicans and the right wing tea-party members. Moderates who believe in compromise and moving our country forward need to be given the power to do so and to make our country great again.  If we do not do something soon we will not have a country left. Fear tactics and party politics will continue until the country is so divided that we have a civil war again.  If our founding father’s saw what we made of our country they would be ashamed by the corruption and party politics that are going on in Washington.

The console model is dead, with new technologies such as steam, the pc software industry is not as plagued with piracy as it was back in the days of doom, duke nukem and thousands of other titles. For me console games are good but I think as technology advances television, satelite and cable boxes and computers will  be merged as entertainment systems. PDA’s and tablets will take over the mobile spectrum.  Xbox has already started the ball moving by having downloadable  games. It is just a matter of time as console’s are just glorified gaming pc’s.

Although, I had not much to do I almost screwed myself with school. I had to watch an hour video regarding substance abuse however did not know it was an hour. I waited to the last minute thank goodness I had just enough time to complete my project and get it in on time but I left minutes to spare. I really need to re-evaluate my time management skills so that I do not waste precious time and put myself in a situation like I did tonight. Other than that I am still having back problems as the other day I slipped and fell on the floor due to baby oil. All is well though I look forward to tomorrow.
