War Cannot Be Summarized

Ed52 Wrote: May 29, 2012 1:54 PM
A war must be fought with the intention, desire and activity that promote winning. A war must have a clearly defined, objectively determinable and achievable goal that equates to "Winning". A war must be supported by government by meeting the staffing, material and logistical needs of the military commanders. If a war is being fought in support and/or aid of another population, that population must be fully and actively committed to the common goal defined as "Winning". If any of the above is not the case than those fighting have been betrayed and all expenditures, activity, trauma, and deaths will be in vain.

Why are people upset? The IPO price was actually at close to market instead of the traditional undervalue pricing that allows favored insiders to get instant bonuses. Why aren't there cheers that the evil capitalists didn't get to win this time? The pre-issue documentation was clear in stating Zuckerberg was going to sell shares - he had to so government would receive tax money. This is another reason to cheer - government got piles of money for merely existing! This type of hypocritical MSM reporting is becoming more common as reporters become less aware, less logical and less knowledgable.

Meaningful Work

I know I'm a dinosaur but to me working at a job meant and still does mean money in my pocket. Whether I was loading gravel at 80 shovels to the ton, climbing on roofs to install TV antennas, painting what seemed to be miles of wrought iron fencing, bagging groceries or working in fast-food, I was acquiring money to be used for things I needed or wanted. AND I was getting experience in dealing with people. Customers and bosses teach a lot of life's lessons - whether they intend to or not.

Who, with a decent memory of the last 25 years, would volunteer to own the heartbeat that stands between Hillary and presidency?

Ignorant Teachers Who See Obama as a King

A High SchooI Diploma used to guarantee literacy and a decent level of knowledge but I once had a client that was having difficulty finding an entry-level clerk for filing, copying and other such office work. He wanted a high school graduate, literate and willing to work, who had learned what he thought was typical in high school. It was hard to find candidates who could spell February and Wednesday, recognized gross as a unit of measure, knew that New Mexico is a state and that Chicago is in Illinois.

Should Black People Tolerate This?

A recent display of Lincoln and Civil war included a statement that 1 of 8 people in America in 1860 was black. This is 12.5%. The insidiousness of population control: keep the group in a dangerous environment by institutionalizing poverty and make advancement expensive (loss of benefits) and encourage rampant abortions. The 48 year old "War on Poverty" is a label for the above and has succeeded in keeping black population at 13% despite the "one drop" rule.

Stupidity Laws Could Have Stopped Obama

Why isn't the left cheering over the loss? Isn't this what they want? If the bank had made a profit of 2 Billion last week wouldn't they be screaming about capitalists hoarding all the resources?
What's the truth got to do with anything? Any discussion that implies there is a legitimate question about an issue deemed to be POLITICALLY CORRECT (=absolutely true and intuitively obvious since the beginning of time) is branded as hate speech uttered by a bigot and (issue)phobe. Palin is still being criticized for Tina Fey's statements. Common sense is not common and logic requires objectivity.

A Racial Revolution?

As a dinosaur I will not be alive to see the two major powers split up the globe - The Caliphate will have the Middle East, Europe, Africa and Eastern North America. China will have the rest of Asia, Australia, the Pacific, South and Central America and Western North America. Political Correctness will be a quaint and ridiculed concept recognized as a leading facilitator of the decline of Western Civilization.

CitiBike: Too Dumb to Fail

People get sweaty walking in Manhattan in July & August - the intent is to now have real sweaty tourists at all the popular places. The full rack plan is another example of bureaucratic thinking - bike to the Natural History Museum - find a full rack - be directed to another rack within a 15 minute bike ride - then either be directed to another one or face a long (half hour?) walk (or cab ride) back to the Museum.
