Business Bull

American business laid off workers by the thousands and forced the remaining workers to do double and sometime triple duty. Speak up about your work load and you could be fired and replaced easily with one of the five folks waiting for the chance to take your place. Business has been hanging onto millions of dollars and yelling that we will hire folks when you cut taxes and make it easier for us to hire. Kasich has cut taxes for Ohio business and we are still waiting for the jump in hiring. Businesses still has their workers doing double and triple work to keep their jobs. The impetus is not there to hire and not likely to show up anytime soon.

Legislative Change

A house divided cannot stand. President Lincoln said that over one hundred years ago and it is relevant as ever now. We as a nation are divided along political lines and that division has brought us to the point of legislative gridlock. I believe that we are so entrenched in our beliefs that we may never get any real legislation enacted. Changing the way we pick our legislators may be the answer. Now our legislators spend more time begging for money than they do enacting legislation and we all must agree that the more money you contribute the more likely your agenda has president in the legislators mind.

Consequently, maybe we should take away all that money and all that influence. First of all we do away with elections and find our legislators the same way we do our juries. Legislators would be picked from voter registration and serve two year terms one time with no chance for renewal. During their service they will be billeted much as recruits are in the military. Spartan rooms with no luxury and all amenities provided. One day per week legislators would hear from constituents about legislature concerns. Members would work behind locked doors for eight hours each day and would be able to see their family once per month and have their families during holidays. Sounds like being in prison will in a sense that's what we need. Members have one job and it's to enact legislation not to be swayed by lobbyists' and have affairs and the like. We need take all the extras that our current legislators enjoy and make it a hard job and one where the trust is high much higher than it is now.

War Between the States

Seems that we are a nation that is divided right down the middle our political ideology has us divided blue states and red states democrats and republican conservative and liberal. Now we are mired in gridlock and the local and the national level. We seem of late to become almost rabid at times with our ideas to the point of becoming violent. Maybe, we should settle it with a big fight and winner takes all. Maybe, then we can actually get something accomplished and move on. Let's just run into the streets guns a blazing and settle everything at once. Sounds stupid doesn't it! I wonder sometimes if that is the direction we are indeed going.

Body Count

The body count in dead and wounded will never be too high as far as the National Rifle Association is concerned. Some gun fanatics can only see one thing and that is my gun and by god I have a right to own it and it does not matter how many kids, grandmothers, pregnant women or any human being for that matter gets killed. Full disclosure I am a gun owner and I reload ammunition. However, there e is not one human beings life worth any weapon I own and or you're right to have one.

Password

This year cyber criminals will make over 300 billion dollars while legitimate web based business will only make about 150 billion. Much of that ill gotten gain will be off folks much like you. Moreover, all of the current industry safeguards can be breeched by folks from Eastern Europe Brazil and the Far East quite easily. Consequently, your password is still the best way to keep yourself safe. However it must be a minimum of eight charters and preferably twelve with numbers and characters all of which cannot have anything to do with each other. I know you are having enough trouble remembering the ones you have now. Just remember there are folks sitting in little rooms all day with nothing to do but break your password. All of you that have "password "for your access it's only a matter of time before your compromised.

Insignificance

Everyone should look up into the night sky and look at the number of stars. This should make you feel insignificant and if that doesn't do it then fathom the number of folks on the planet should make you feel pretty unimportant. Moreover, you sphere of influence is also insignificant and limited to yourself and possibly a few family members. My point is that is if the above is true then we need to stop acting like folks like Opra and the like are so damned important and influential.
