Save the Bay to Breakers

Sign this petition at http://savebay2breakers.org

I support this petition. Why in the world have sponsors become so politically correct and take away a long standing tradition that makes Bay2Breakers stand out from the rest. Uniqueness is good, this policy of the sponsors has no right to take away what has and will always bring morale up in the City. San Francisco should also reconsider the sponsor and let tradition stand.


After the 1906 Quake in San Fran, around 1912 a race event was organized to boost morale, until recently alcohol, wheeled objects and floats were allowed, and yet a few mind you have pushed the limits of some and caused the sponsor and city to for take measures that impede on this long standing tradition. (Wiki entry here)

A few infractions is not enough to change policy and well narcissistic politically correct people get in the way of a great event that bolsters the morale. It is kind of like "How the Grinch stole Christmas" in its own way.

Please sign this petition to keep a great event in a very stubborn and liberally dominated city alive.

$13 and 1971 projects worth $23,194,447,831

So done watching Huckabee, for the weekly $13 stimulus directed to me, I'd probably spend it on something I get back to it later...

Anyway so California has the most projects getting money from the Spendulous (Formerly Stimulus) Bill... at 1971 projects ranging from radio upgrades for First Responders to road repair (which is desperate needed with the lowest bidder doing a horrible job continuing the cycle of repairing...) I do applaud Pasadena for sticking to legitimate projects and an estimate of $89,000. Los Angeles tops out at $7 mil and San Francisco just over $1mil... I'm surprise Berkeley is not on the list b/c California Memorial sits on a fault line and I've supported the Bears in the past. Just not the politics harassing service members b/c they don't like the war or the former president and taking it out on us. They have a right like Walnut Creek (Imposing its secular ways) but associating those who serve the country with something they don't like is wrong. We sacrificed our time and effort so "People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf". And yes Socialism is Socialism even if it is masquerading as Democratic Socialism. Glad I'm goin into the Reserves, becoming a full time civilian probably would drive me crazy with all the absurditites happening these days. Yes the military gives one a different opinion regardless if one serving or a dependant. First and foremost cutting back on spending and tax cuts have worked in the past, as spending usually cause inflation and delaying the fact that the debt has increased (x)fold. Becoming Greener will have to wait until the slate is clean, and special interest groups will have to understand that there are limits, might as well get a Dog therapist to teach who is the boss. Change, yep that word, used and abused in all the wrong ways.


So getting back to the $13 I probably spend it either on some Soldier's Angels goods or Boodam and the Beav shirts. Supporting the Troops and a local Shirt Company started by Veterans. Then again maybe go to my local Hawaiian Resturant and order some Kalua Pork to remind me where the money came from. Every week.

Cavalry Colors, boots on a wire a tradition followed by those leaving the Service.

Keep this in mind

Start off with this Quote:

And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with his wrath? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep for ever. - Thomas Jefferson, Notes on the State of Virginia, Query 18, 1781


º Our Tax payer money going out of country to fund abortions... (MSNBC)
º How many times have I heard "Crisis" this week... (24x) (White House Press release) blah fear mongering, Casablancaish.
º How exactly does Federal Contrastive funding help the economy? (CNSNews)
President Reagan instituted tax cuts which helped rebound the economy, yet like the quote Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely, Greedy Idiots will be Greedy Idiots. Its Human its our flaw, we've been letting other reward others for failures (ie Auto and Bank Execs).

It seems as it the far left was trying to embrace religion while having views that opposed the Bible and other religious teachings. And as if anything gets worse, here I am in El Paso Texas, a border town like Nogales and San Diego, I feel as if I am a foreigner in my own country. We as a nation have failed to integrate other cultures into our society. going back to the point. Walking into a Wal-Mart, my friend gets rear ended by a shopping cart while walking around. He brushed off like it was an accident, but the woman did it to him again and again until he moved out the way with out asking. I then go to a 7Eleven and get asked in Spanish at check out. I know Italian and a bit of Spanish, but I said come again and the woman got offended and brought her manager out to complain about me asking in English. Society as a whole seems to be taking the path of the movie "Idiocrasy". Look how Europe has a growing Arabian community and the decay of native European populace, and How Germany and France has failed to integrate minorities into society. Financially China had been quietly setting up shop by buying properties and opening banks like HSBC, Chinese American Bank, portions of Bank of America owned by Chinese Bank. Industrial & Commercial Bank of China and China Merchants Bank are among the few that asked the Federal Reserve to open stateside (Business Week). Not that I want to go back the Nationalist/Isolationist days but spending and printing money doesn't help rebuild or stimulate the economy, it hurts it in the long run. Tax Cuts are slow but proven. I leave it at that.

Scouts, Hapkido, and Steven Seagal

Yep... we are easily amused when asinine things happen while we wait.

This week in review, with quotes...

First off this quote: "Those Who Don’t Know Their History Are Doomed to Repeat It." Now look back wikipedia or google these types of government: Communism, Socialism, & Imperialism which are known to have failed. Keep Federalism alive that is the type of government we have and will have always. Spending more is like adding fuel to a fire already burning, or a slow leak in a dam, it serves no aid other then a quick and expensive fix that's not permanent. Ones way is not always the moral way or the right way. Corporations, Organizations, anything that represents a crucial infrastructure that has a voice have more pull then that of the average person. We have either become black sheep or lemmings. In a way "Absolute power corrupts absolutely", applies in this sense those groups and decision makers have lost sight of who they represent, us, a vast amount only look out for themselves and when mutual agreements or backing comes in play.

And it looks that whats been done so many can sleep peaceably is being undone, all because morality is being logic. As President Ted Roosevelt once said "If I must choose between righteousness and peace, I choose righteousness." (Gotta love the Cavalry) Big Brother is being sidelined by Animal Farm. Oh the humanity!?!

Enough with this, Scout training all week finally for once doing Cav stuff.
º Trucks all orignal 1985 issue HMMWVs starting to give out.
º Mounted Manuvers are awesome when you get air.
º I hope the policy doesn't change so I can enjoy a long paid leave before I get out.
º Couple more physicals and other stuff to go.
º Still Considering Army Reserves.
