Trans-Genders And Nationalized Healthcare

After watching Michael Jackson physically self-mutilate himself from a poor black male youth into a rich white woman in the pursuit of what he thought self beauty should be, it made me wonder how will America's Trans-Gender populace co-exist with president Barack Hussein Obama’s version of rationed Nationalized Healthcare. How will a inefficient government bureaucratic healthcare entity decide who will receive necessary medical care versus cosmetic medical treatments to match an individual's chosen lifestyle? If America models their rationalized healthcare like Canada or England, providers will be forbidden from taking monetary payments for any medical procedure or performing such a procedure which is not authorized by the State. The sex change procedure will ultimately be the decision of the Federal government. Will Paul accept such a medical decision like a man that he cannot be Paulette in a sex change medical procedure?

Will little Johnny's tonsillitis be promptly treated so that he can heal properly and be forced work the rice patties for the State as a teenager and adult while Grandma Jones suffering from failed kidney's is told to starve to death like Terry Shiavo because Grandma is no more useful to the State? These kind of medical decisions will be mandated and enforced by a government bureaucrat who has no vested interest in your life. I cannot understand why the American populace would allow such a right to life responsibility to be rendered to the Federal government thinking that the risk is worth taking as long as the medical bill is passed to another American citizen?

To keep favor with the alternative lifestyle crowd will the government authorize sex change procedures through the rationalized National Healthcare program to stay politically in favor with this particular voting populace?   Can the government justify the decision of financing one citizen’s complete sex change of 100,000 dollars from start to finish and tell 10 elderly individuals that sorry the 10,000-dollar hip replacement or kidney replacement is not authorized? There is going to be a lot of cranky old geezers from AARP.

Nationalized healthcare is never state of the art. In the previous example of Paul to Paulette, Paul may be told to take a shot of tequila and bite down on a bullet while Dr. Marcus Welby does his magic with the scalpel. If the sex change procedure does not does not come out as expected can Paul seek legal punitive damages against the State? Probably not. The legal profession may have to seek their own bail out not being to sue the Federal government or receiving any adequate financial damages. If tongue depressors are rationed what are the chances of the legal system collecting large settlements for medical malpractice?

I am sure those types of medical decision priorities will be buried in a 5000 page legislation which the House and Senate will not read and vote on again like the previous passed Stimulus and TARP legislations. I believe that the rationed Nationalized Healthcare will be prioritized by the combination of the estimated political power of the populace demographics first then the rate of return determination of a healthy individual to the State’s workforce will receive in return for it's parasitic tyrannical existence.

Case in point, the current 'Hate Crimes' bill in the House and Senate (‘The Pedophile Protection Act’) will allow a creation of a protected class of crime victims based on sexual deviations by the perpetrator. With the Federal government promoting a higher precedence to alternative lifestyles over a majority straight populace. It is conceivable such medical decision-making is also very possible. The government decision matrix could also factor any non-medical factors; how about race, religion, or received income. In the previous example of Paul to Paulette, Paul may be told sorry this is Black History month, the Federal government is only considering blacks this month for sex changes come back in the month of March with your request. President Barack Hussein Obama’s nominated federal appellate Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the US Supreme Court could easily endorse such decisions. Her previous appellate decisions are based on empathy and racial reverse discrimination.

Conservatives may struggle at the thought of a sex change medical procedure being performed but, the conservative idea of a Privatized medicine system does not stop such a procedure as long as the individual is using their own financial resources. Rationing of National Healthcare is exactly what the adjectives mean, less of any possible available healthcare. I would challenge the Gay and Trans-Gender populace to think twice about their support for president Barack Hussein Obama and join us pesky straight conservatives and help reject the Nationalization of Healthcare in America. Perhaps be as vocal as the California protesters rallying against proposition 8.

Don’t Ask Me To Mourn For Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson Settles LawsuitFrankly within the first 30 minutes of when Michael Jackson was reported dead on the AM airwaves, I had grown very tired of the news topic and was desperately looking for other reported news topics. The media was so fixated on the Michael Jackson death that the traffic reports every 10 minutes during rush hour were bypassed. Luckily that day the rush hour traffic was following smoothly through Jacksonville Florida so there was need to detour on my route. Finally I had to give up on the AM news and listen to the Oldies FM music station (70’s-80’s era).

Two thoughts kept going through my mind. First: It made me realize what a wonderful healthcare system & economic system America possesses even through our current tyrannical parasitic Federal government is conducting a War on Prosperity and on our Privatized healthcare system. America still is the only country in this world where a poor black male youth can grow up to be a rich white female. Now try that with president Barack Hussein Obama’s proposed Nationalized Healthcare.

Second: Michael Jackson, (He/She/It) was always a freak in my book. I missed out on all the hoopla when the album ‘Thriller’ was released. I just enlisted in the U.S. Army and I was enduring basic training and AIT (Advance Individual Training) and my exposure to music, media, and the outside world was quite limited. When I watched Michael Jackson on music videos, I always thought it was odd that he could not keep his hands off his crotch like he had something Ajax and water could not scrub off. He had an uncanny affinity for chimpanzees and little children. The accusations & legal proceedings based on impropriety to child sexual behavior and his physical body structure transformation was too much for me to pay attention to.

Once Michael Jackson is laid to rest, I predict the funeral aftermath will get interesting. Michael Jackson is reported to have left a 400 Million dollar debt.

http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/michael-jackson-died-deeply-in-debt-1003988280.story

I would like to know where has been Mass Rep. Slobbering Barney Frank all this time? We need a Congressional hearing to know why this Pop Star was missed in the Federal TARP funding. Clearly Michael Jackson was too big to fail as a Pop Star.

I bet the next of kin, business partner(s), last minute child rape accusers and all their attorneys will come from all four corners of this planet to make their claim of how the last remnant of substance is picked off Michael Jackson’s bones. Will there be a ‘Jackson’ Czar appointed by president Barack Hussein Obama to oversee the bankruptcy?  Will there be a conspiracy theory proposed that president Barack Hussein Obama caused Michael Jackson’s cardiac arrest? Did president Barack Hussein Obama call Michael Jackson and nominate him as a ‘Children’ Czar?

So what is next? Naming streets in our communities Michael Jackson Blvd. How about another State and Federal holiday?

I Can Guarantee Southern Border Security For 55 Million

pitbull.jpgIn this day in age, millions of dollars spent at the State and Federal government levels are like mere pennies found on the floor of a Brinks security truck. For the fiscal year 2010, Barack Hussein Obama is proposing an annual Federal budget of approx 3.6 trillion dollars. A Porkzilla of budgets, which would make a Keynesian economist blush with glee. To be sensitive to us actual taxpayers, he found a whopping 19 Billion dollars of government spending waste, which in theory was removed from his proposed 2010 annual budget.

If the Federal government was actually going to save the 19 Billion & invest it and not discreetly find another redistribution entitlement program, America could easily fund an actual cost effective Southern Border security system without having to dip even deeper in the pockets of us patriotic taxpayers. The interest alone earned on 19 Billion would easily fund the Southern Border fence. I have always believed that the border security initiative has always been pure lip service by our Federal government to us conservatives who believe in Borders, Culture, and Language as the glue that holds this American country together. 

 The Federal government in reality has been fighting against the Southern Border security. The Federal government needs those illegal aliens as head count on entitlement programs to justify their ‘War on Prosperity’ (Private Market). The politicians seem to believe that productive illegal aliens will sure up the ‘Ponzi’ scheme of entitlement funding since the following generations behind the selfish Baby Boomers can not supply the tax revenue because of lower headcounts in the tax base.

By my research only 12 miles of actual Southern Border wall has been built to date. The Southern Border wall also is supposed to entail 624 miles of a ‘Virtual Fence’. In reality, a ‘Virtual Fence’ is an invisible fence that contains stern signs to deter crossings, cameras, and radar to notify some government agency/bureaucrat that the illegal aliens are crossing but no one is going to do anything about it.

I have done some research and I can actually guarantee to protect the Southern American border for less than 55 million dollars in initial cost.

The length of the American/Mexican border is 1969 miles long. Materials and installation of an invisible fence is 1.52 to 2.23 dollars a foot per ‘Invisible Fence’ (www.invisiblefence.com). Since we are talking government contractors let’s use 2.23 dollars a foot. There are 5280 feet in a mile. We are talking 1969 * 5280 * 2.23 = 23 .2 million dollars.   This first line will be installed on the American/Mexican border.

Pit Bulls are the perfect dogs for security. I actually own one for my own personal security in the downtown area of Jacksonville Florida. Predators and thugs are more afraid of these types of dogs than they are of handguns. SusieQ has actually protected me three times in the past nines months from being robbed walking outside at night.

Not all Pit Bulls are friendly if abused. We will need to contain some of these mongrels from our own Border Patrol so there needs to be a second line of invisible fence 100 yards from the border. The Pit Bulls will be able to roam 100 yards against the 1969-mile border. 46.6 million dollars so far.

I estimate that America will need 1 pit bull for every 1/8 mile and the typical cost of a dog that comes from an animal shelter is 85 dollars. I will not factor in any free dogs confiscated from Michael Vick’s residence. 1969 * 8 * 85 = 1,338,920 dollars.

Total estimated cost so far is just under 48 million dollars. Include food and water bowls, chew toys, and water lines and wells for a local water supply and I would expect the estimated cost to be very close to 55 million dollars.

The invisible dog fence on the border will have many benefits that should please our Liberal minded friends. All the commie tree huggers won’t complain about the devastation to the ‘environment’ and the animal migration patterns will not be disrupted mind that the animal can run faster than a Pit Bull. This will also insure that healthy wild animals are in the gene pool. PETA and Animal Rights activist will be happy knowing sheltered animals will be saved and not euthanized. The life of an animal will still trump the live of the human unborn.   The only disadvantage would be that the Border Patrol officer would have to take time out of his/her busy schedule to feed the Pit Bulls on a daily basis.

Once the Invisible Southern Border dog fence is in place, then double dog dare Jose to cross the border now. Those illegal aliens wanting to return to Mexico due to our economic condition will have to wait on our side of the border. Buses will safely return the illegal aliens back on the Mexican side of the border. This will prove to the world our compassion of the illegal alien.

Can I Sell My US Citizenship For A Ticket Out Of Here?

The country’s political and economic soul that I swore my allegiance to as a child in the classroom every school morning and as an enlisted U.S Army soldier in the 1980’s is no more. After Ronald Reagan, I have watched Republicans direct America down the slow path of Socialism and delicately battle Democrats who desire America to travel the highway to Socialism"Marxism. Since Barack Hussein Obama’s administration, neither political party really debated the recent Porkzilla non U.S. Constitutional authorized Stimulus"Recovery and Omnibus bills which did nothing but expand Federal powers and Federal & State government entitlements. The proposed annual Federal budget of 3.6 Trillion U.S. dollars has already passed the scrutiny of the House. I suspect the Senate will also follow suit.

I am aghast of how the America citizen lays in submission awaiting the eventual slaughter of all God given rights bestowed to us in the U.S. Constitution. I believe America is very sick society when the majority of citizens will sacrifice their own well-being and U.S. Constitutional rights as long as it harms their fellow high-achieving citizen(s) in the Socialist view of ‘fairness’ and equity.

There is only a shade’s gray of difference between Republican and Democratic political parties these days. Both want to social engineer to their party line morality through government mandates and both believe in re-distribution of wealth. The only difference is the Republicans stay two steps to the right of Democrats just to state: ‘Hey we are more conservative than those other guys’. American greatness was founded by Libertarian ideas and sunk by a how-can-I-buy-your-vote big government imperial political parties (Republican and Democrat) 222 years later (1787-2009).

The Federal government is more than happy to fund ‘Community Organizing’ entities in mob rule activities for example ACORN to organize protest at the homes of Corporation officers of their darling scapegoat corporation AIG. The government was also more than happy to identify the AIG Corporation officers for the protesters. There is a real sickness in the American mentality when a citizen has more ambition and energy to protest wealth envy than to apply that same ambition and energy toward finding a job or creating a business for themselves. How does the Federal government expect the Financial Markets to recover and trust the investment of their money when the Federal government forces private business to perform risky business practices, challenge the sacred trust of an existing contract terms, and verbally identify and threaten high achievers in private business?

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is now calling it ‘un-American’ to enforce immigration laws, and calling illegal alien criminals ‘heroes’ and pledging to protect their ‘right to work’ in our country. She has called law enforcement officers un-American for doing their job – while she told the illegal criminals, "You are very special people – you're here on a Saturday night to take responsibility for our country's future. That makes you very, very patriotic." It is not very complimentary to the American citizen who pays their taxes and lives within the Federal"State"Local laws. So Nancy Pelosi, are you demanding me as an American citizen to also hire an illegal alien criminals as employees and risk the chance of fines and/or prison time to prove that I am a patriot?

Islamic Jhadist captured in conflicts against America around the world in the war against terror are housed in Guantanamo Cuba and forced to endure life with 3 Islamic approved meals a day, prayer time, medical care, and plenty of exercise. The poor Islamic Jhadist even gained weight in prison life, which was far better than their ‘free’ life in their own peace loving Islamic world. Now Barack Hussein Obama’s administration is debating what to do with these peace-loving Islamic Jhadist. Their own countries of origin do not want these thugs and their neighboring countries. Some of the detainees, deemed non-threatening, may be released into the United States as free men to include government entitlements. This policy is certainly is going to make the next wave of peace loving Islamic Jhadist fear America.

Gitmo detainees freed in U.S. to get welfare?

http://www.seattlepi.com/national/1152ap_us_intelligence_blair.html

I guess soon Barack Hussein Obama will be pardoning the American Taliban John Walker Lindh. It would not surprise me that American Taliban John Walker Lindh is sitting in the guest balcony during the next State of the Union speech. Maybe Barack Hussein Obama will even point & salute him and encourage a standing ovation from the politicians.

State and Federal law enforcement agencies have been instructed to collect information on American citizens who would have been considered highly patriotic just 30 years ago. “Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC) provides a public safety partnership consisting of local, state and federal agencies, as well as the public sector and private entities that will collect, evaluate, analyze, and disseminate information and intelligence to the agencies tasked with Homeland Security responsibilities in a timely, effective, and secure manner,” explains the MIAC website. “MIAC is the mechanism to collect incident reports of suspicious activities to be evaluated and analyzed in an effort to identify potential trends or patterns of terrorist or criminal operations within the state of Missouri. MIAC will also function as a vehicle for two-way communication between federal, state and local law enforcement community within our region.”

The MIAC report does not concentrate on Muslim terrorists, but rather on the so-called “militia movement” and combines it with supporters of Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin, Bob Barr, the so-called patriot movement(s) and other political activist organizations opposed to the North American Union and the New World Order.

Secret State Police Report: Ron Paul, Bob Barr, Chuck Baldwin, Libertarians are Terrorists

http://www.infowars.com/secret-state-police-report-ron-paul-bob-barr-chuck-baldwin-libertarians-are-terrorists/

I stand before America with this message: I am an ideologue Libertarian who voted for Ron Paul in the 2008 presidential primary. I absolutely believe in the explicit written interpretation of the U. S. Constitution and live within the confides of the Judeo-Christian worldview. I work Corporate America 40 hours a week and I also own and operate a property management & renovation entity which takes up the remainder of my available hours of the week (I own 5 multifamily properties and yes it is not fair). I am a natural born American citizen who has lived within the existing Federal"State"Local laws and actually pays taxes. By today’s interpretation of Liberal"Statist American patriotism, I am considered a Libertarian Terrorist. Yesteryear’s American patriot is now public enemy number #1 of the State.

At one time, I believed there was hope that Libertarians and Reagan conservatives would eventually get angry enough at Liberal"Statist tyranny but I do believe that is the case anymore. Too many of the nation’s population (legal, illegal, dependant, and deviant) are enriched by the never-ending Federal entitlement system. I suspect the Tea Parties scheduled on April 15th will do nothing more than give Federal and State governments nothing more than a big yawn from the angry taxpayer. The protesting population numbers are not in our favor. Americans today have a low threshold of fear & conflict. Today’s population is not willing fight Liberal"Statist tyranny to regain the qualities, which created this once Republic. Our founding fathers paid a heavy price for fighting tyranny http://www.snopes.com/history/american/pricepaid.asp . From my perspective, I find it very ironic and disturbing that today’s America would dedicate so much of it’s own resources & military lives to building nations in the image of America around the world in civilizations who are hostile to us and not fight the Liberal"Statist threat to our on American civilization.
 
For the right price, I am willing to sell my American citizenship, my passport, all my properties & business, and my social security number. Let a dependant entitled patriotic illegal alien or a peace loving Islamic Jhadist fill my place in American society. America will be much safer without me. Release me from this tyranny and I will seek new prosperous lands, which fit my Libertarian worldview on this planet http://www.heritage.org/index/ranking.aspx . If enough high achieving Americans decide to become expatriates, I suspect that the tyrannical imperial Federal government will be forced to build border walls on its border. Not to keep illegal’s from entering but, to keep the high achieving Americans from leaving like the ‘Iron Curtain’ in Eastern Europe.

Come on Jose, Mohammed, or Sanjay; here is your chance to be an instant American citizen and enjoy the pleasures of paying taxes, the wrath of high achievement, satisfaction of living within the guidelines of law while others don’t, and persecution of political expression.

P.S. Will the last tax-paying citizen in America please turn off the lights? There is no one left willing to pay the light bill. Also bring the U.S. Constitution and the graves of our founding fathers so that they can be honored again on ‘hallowed’ grounds.

Banning Lead In National Parks

As with typical Liberal (Orwellian) policies they are not well thought out. The intended specific target of the Liberal mandate in reality always encompasses a much larger subgroup of scapegoats. Liberals make this mistake time and time again because of their flawed narcissistic thought process; I am creating this government mandate because I care more than you and it does not apply to me because I am much too important or If I can not achieve what I believe to be my full worth in society & rewards then no one else better achieve also. The consequence(s) of the Liberal government mandate always are more harmful than the perceived dissent to the Liberal worldview.

Hunting & fishing or just plain outdoor activities has always been a major taboo activities to the Liberal worldview. To the Liberal, it is the equivalent of crimes against Mother Earth punishable by death of the offender. Blood thirsty man just indiscriminately kills sweet innocent peace loving Bambi or your ATV is absolutely ripping the landscape apart. Man is just a pesky cancer on this planet which Mother Earth is going to die at any moment. Liberals tend to have the Walt Disney cartoon image of how animals live in the wild forever imprinted into their minds. Never mind the fact that all animals live within a food chain and brutally kill other animals and/or may eat plants for food.

In the attempt to eliminate game sportsman whether it is a fisherman and/or a hunter from the act of hunting; if the action of hunting can not be stopped why not ban their tools of the trade which allows the game sportsman from performing their action of hunting? The National Park Service is a quasi-government entity:

*A quasi-governmental entity is one that: (1) has a close association with the government agency, but is not considered a part of the government agency; (2) was created by the government agency, but is exempt from certain legal and administrative requirements imposed on government agencies; or (3) was not created by the government agency but performs a public purpose and is significantly supported financially by the government agency.

In essence the National Park Service is a government agency that can draft enforceable regulation but, is not responsible to the constituent which is all too common with this existing imperial tyrannical Federal government.
 
The National Park Service announced that it is going to ban the use of lead components in fishing tackle in all national parks by 2010.  The lead ban also would include lead component ammunition used by hunters.  “Their intention to eliminate the use of lead in fishing tackle in National Parks was made without prior consultation of the sport fishing industry or the millions of recreational anglers who fish within the National Park system.” ASA vice president Gordon Robertson said.

Gene Mueller: Proposed lead ban causes stir

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/mar/18/proposed-lead-ban-causes-stir/

So if lead is banned what are all the consequences of this mandate when it evolves? How does this affect all the ‘Mother Earth’ communers who travel to the National Parks in their Hybrid vehicles? Do not these Hybrid vehicles contain earth friendly acid and lead plates in their battery cells to produce CO2 friendly energy. Do not bother bringing electronic equipment like digital cameras, radios, or you’re GPS. Those electronic devices contain solder which is a derivative of lead. Why stop there, just ban all vehicles since all vehicles have some kind of lead in their electronic systems or batteries.

If the gun industry uses copper or steel for ammunition, will the National Parks allow hunting again? If a fisherman tied a rock to his line as a weight, does this make him legal again? I seriously doubt it. Even if they did, more harm would be caused from the harder projectile tips used by the hunters. Instead of the soft lead projectile, a harder projectile material would continue to travel through the hunted animal and penetrate through the next animal. As for fishing, I am sure that the Liberals will derive a reason why rocks as fishing weights are harmful to the environment.

Without the hunting license revenue and park fees from sportsmen and other park visitors, who is going to finance the National Parks? Are the National Parks going to be forced to travel up to Capital Hill and demand their own bailout because their own government mandates halted the use of the National parks?

Can The Tea Party Time Or Day Be Changed?

Eyewitness account of the Boston Tea PartyI understand the symbolism of April 15th which is the last day annual Federal income taxes are due to be filed and reconciled. It is a day filled with contempt for us 50% portion of the American population who actually pays income taxes. Each year the contempt grows as our tyrannical Federal government incrementally increases in size and power against the favor of the actual tax payer to enable the dependant class for vote purchasing power.
 
On March 15th 2009, a series of citizen gatherings called "Tea Parties" began to protest early government spending under the Barack Hussein Obama administration, such as the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009 and the proposed Omnibus Bill to nationalize home loans (which is now passed).
 
Today, Congress is beginning debate on President Barack Hussein Obama 's unprecedented $3.6 trillion budget that is literally taking our country toward bankruptcy by borrowing too much, bailing out too many, taxing too much, spending too much and making government too large to be sustained by the current bastardized tax codes.
 
The proposed Barack Hussein Obama budget:

? Increases net taxes by $1.35 trillion over the next 10 years.

? Enacts a $646 billion "Global Warming Tax" they call "cap-and-trade." But the White House has already admitted the real cost could be "two-to-three" times higher. These new costs will be passed along to all of us in the form of higher prices on home energy, gasoline and food.
 
? Raises taxes on Americans when they give to a charity.  At a time when American non-profits are really hurting, President Barack Hussein Obama wants to increase taxes on charitable giving.  Washington elites want our dollars going to government not private charities.

? Increase the Death Tax back to the devastating 45 percent rate.

? The budget lays the foundation for a government take over of health care, including hundreds of billions of dollars in higher taxes, a huge new bureaucracy, and possibly Canadian-style rationing of health care.

? The budget sets aside hundreds of billions of dollars for more Wall Street bailouts.
 
Now that the American taxpaying citizen has watched two Porkzilla spending bills passed on President Barack Hussein Obama’s watch and there has been some time allowed for the public to understand where the tax money is actually going, the taxpayer is at their boiling point by this tyrannical confiscation of private property where public demonstration is felt necessary. Here comes round #2 of the Tea Parties.

While looking for the time and place for my local venue tea party gathering in the Jacksonville Florida area http://taxdayteaparty.com/ , I noticed that the party is during work hours on Wednesday April 15th. I have been given permission to take time off for 'personal' business which everyone knows where I will be. I question how many other people will really participate by taking time from work. The scenario for Liberals to organize in a political expression is not the same as us conservatives. This is not like two million Liberals going to Washington DC for Barack Hussein Obama's presidential inauguration and only 14 individuals taking time off from work.

Liberals demographics tend to be of two social economic sectors. The dependant class, no explanation here they just have their hand out expecting a government entitlement. The other is the elitists Orwellian Liberal class. Those who have already have accumulated wealth, not that there is anything wrong with wealth, can shelter their wealth in a trust and then draw a small income which is considered poverty by government standards. In effect, the independently wealthy affluent individual can live on their trust in combination with government redistribution of wealth and benefits intended for the actual disadvantaged individuals. (That is why the government will never have a means testing for entitlements.) 

Liberal political demonstrations have always been more successful. It is a nice way for the Liberals to break the boredom of daytime shows and private part scratching and feel important about something. Liberals are always on the lookout for a local protest for some excitement.

Conservatives are a much different demography that includes entrepreneurs, industrialist, high achievers, and HENRY's (High Earner Not Rich Yet). They want the government to stay out of their life personally and financially so they can obtain their goals. I am not sure if I know too many conservative who really work only 40 hours a week.

When the Boston colonist participated in the original Boston Tea Party 1773, it was done in the middle of the night. I question if it was to truly conceal their identity from the British authorities or was it because after working all day then doing all the daily chores like cleaning the horse stall and chopping wood, by the time the angry American colonist had any available time, it was dark outside.

If the next organized Tea Party was scheduled after work hours or on a non-traditional work day, I suspect the Tea Party participation would increase ten fold. Crowds large enough that even the news media could not down play as a news event.

You May NOT Read Ahead Of Your School Grade

I am very disappointed in the fact that my ex-wife pulled my son out of a private elementary school and placed him in a government elementary school this year. The extra child support monies on top of the child support guideline amount were promised for the ‘Special Needs’ of the child i.e. fulltime child care and/or education. Since father’s rights are almost zero in the state of Florida, the family law court system simply says tough just pay it even though it is not being utilized in the manner as promised in court.
 
Grades 1 and 2, my son attended a private Christian based elementary school (Faith Christian Academy) in the Fernandina Florida vicinity (Nassau country). For third grade, my son was placed into the Duval country school system at New Berlin Elementary School (#150). During the course of the year, I am disappointed to witness my son’s vocabulary evolve into a Sailor and his educated working knowledge seems to have come to a standstill. It is as if my son has played hooky for the past school year. My son knows more about his teacher’s choice of president (Barack Hussein Obama) than he has learned in third grade science. On my visitation weekends, I work with my son’s reading and I keep buying him books in subject matters that keep his interest in reading. His reading has become choppy which used to be smooth.

My son tells me that the library books in the New Berlin Elementary School are coded with color dots; First grade – pink/yellow/light blue, Second grade – red/white, Third grade – red/white/purple, Fourth grade – dark blue, and Fifth grade – brown/black. With government educational school standards continuously lowered over the years to allow more children to be promoted to the next grade, I am afraid to view a library book designated for a third grader to realize it was the standard first grade reading level of when I attended school in the 1970’s.

One of the most troubling stories that my son tells me is that students are ONLY allowed to choose a book with a color dot that is designated to their grade level. I can understand the school discouraging a student not to read a book at a level lower than their grade level but, not reading above their grade level. Students can face discipline for reading a higher level book by the teacher so they do not attempt it. The individual spirit of higher achievement is being terminated in our government schools. I want my son to be challenged and I am more than happy to buy books which are at a young adult level. If you (my son) get stuck on a word just ask me to pronounce it and I also will give you an age appropriate definition of the word. I have granted my son permission at his government school if he chooses to challenge his teacher from stopping his higher level reading. He knows that he will face no punishment by me in his pursuit of education.

The government teaching mediocrity is also reflected in the third grade FCAT (Florida Comprehensive Assessment Testing) standardized testing (reading and math). Three parts of the FCAT are reading skills testing. Two school days were dedicated to the ‘pre-test’ of the three part reading portion. Incidentally, two of the three reading portions just also happened to be on the actual FCAT tests. The tested students knowing two thirds of the reading section guaranteed the elementary school a high probability of an overall passing FCAT score for their third grade. Two school days were wasted which could have been used to teach children actual reading, writing & arithmetic squandered to enhance their FCAT rating of the school & please the Duval county school board bosses and the state of Florida government education bureaucrats.

In the event my son comes of age and decides to live with me, the first order of business will be the selection of a private school. I could not view myself in the mirror each morning knowing that I withheld valuable learning possibilities from my son.

Does The Today's Woman Wear Panties Anymore?

Since my marriage and then my divorce, I really have not been in the dating scene. On occasions I may meet a woman and date for a while but the relationship typically dies on its own. Normally it is because of one or a combination of four reasons; she will not stop talking about her divorce which happened years ago, she is in financial dire straits and is looking for financial remedy, she enjoys her alcohol too much, or we had sex now I must spend the remainder 23 hours of the day repairing her house (Most Common). Just because I own multiple family properties and do my own renovations & property maintenance does not mean I want to do it on my date time. I enjoy my daily cigar and my weekly pitcher of beer but besides that I do not like to poison my body much more than that.

I guess I am showing my age (45) by comparing the mating custom differences between mine (Generation X) and the current generation of single America. In my prime days of dating before my marriage, one could gauge if they were going to achieve quality time with a woman by the last barrier of clothing on a woman. If she was wearing grandma undies there was no way of achieving quality time due to hormone timing or her lack of interest in you, you were better off ending the date quickly as possible unless you were already in a committed relationship. If she was wearing bikinis, if the date went well there was a 50/50 chance of quality time. If she was wearing a thong and the date went well, quality time was soon to follow. My recent female apparel observations have thrown out many of my dating rules of engagement.

Last week I agreed to join a group of guys from the local cigar store to the 2009 Folio Weekly Martinifest at the Jacksonville Municipal Stadium. For the cost of a VIP ticket, one can consume all the food and martinis as they can handle from 6:00pm to 10:00pm. Since I am not a liquor drinker I went for the food and the potential chance of networking with the ladies. There was unlimited great food, never-ending spirits, and great trance music. I felt like an old man there. The typical age of the crowd was early to mid-twenties.

I was in awe appreciating the young ladies in their hoochie couchie momma party dresses. Most party outfits left nothing to the imagination. The women seem to be proud to show to God and Country their de-forested private parts. Victoria’s Secret was no more. Wearing a thong was the rarity. As a red blooded male I had to look at the publicized female private region and began making a game out of the prediction if the woman was wearing panties or not. The only generalized rule that I could come up with if the woman was fat and/or her shoes did not have heels, and then I could safely predict she was wearing panties. I guess in is in vogue for women not to wear undergarments. It made me very thankful that I do not have a daughter. The allure of the young women began to wane I when I began to realize I was appreciating someone’s daughter. A new tactic was necessary; if I strike up a conversation with a young woman, see if her mother is available.

It made me think that the roles of males and females have been reversed in the attraction process. In the 1980’s us guys enjoyed wearing shirts, which accented our muscles or just showed off our muscles in the order to attract a women. These days few men actually do any manual labour anymore so they wear more clothes to puff up their physical appearance. The today’s man is feminized and seems to be an embarrassment to the male species from my standpoint. The women enhanced by plastic and the display of their de-forested private parts were now the ones advertising to actively attract the men. I do not mind a woman being forward and calling me if I would like to join her on a date but I would I can wait a few more hours to know what her crotch looks like.

At 10:00pm I was the sober individual in the cigar store group so I had to drive the big Ford Excursion back to the neighborhood and drop off everyone at their homes. I even scored a free hat, t-shirt, and a nice fine martini glass from talking sweet to one of the pretty female martini vendors. I see an advantage being old. You can talk in a manner to a young woman and she is humored and probably thinks he is just a harmless dirty old man. If I said those things to a woman my age range she would of slapped me.

As for me, I am comfortable being old fashioned. I still appreciate a woman more when she clothed and her private parts are hidden from public view.

How Does Warren Buffet Like Socialism Now?

Mid July 2007, Warren Buffett the well-known billionaire investor endorsed the Democratic presidential candidate Barack Hussein Obama who is now our beloved 44th president. In less than the span of 46 days, Barack Hussein Obama has done more to Nationalize the infrastructure of the American free market industry than any other American president had ever hoped to accomplish in the past 40 years under the name of 'Economic Stimulus' or 'Recovery' bills expedited & approved through our Legislation process. The current approved government mandates; redistribution of wealth, and the growth of the Federal government would make Karl Marx, Lenin, and Trotsky blush. Also a special thank you to our former president G. W. Bush and all his R.I.N.O. accomplices in the House and Senate for their efforts in laying the groundwork for the destruction of the free markets by their unbridled tax & spend growth and removing more of the population from the tax base.

At first it puzzled me why a billionaire would endorse a Liberal (Socialist/Marxist) presidential candidate. Socialism (or the redistribution of wealth) would have never allowed Warren Buffett to achieve the wealth that he has acquired. On the surface it seems to contradict all laws of free-market economics why would someone who believes in free markets and the accumulation of wealth endorse a political candidate that believes and campaigns about the redistribution of wealth. Socialists are very generous with someone else’s money. Socialism enables dependency, which competes against the free market's productivity and overall value. Then it occurred to me. Warren Buffett was at a position where he wanted to be and now he wanted to use the powers of the Federal government to slam the door on others who could compete with him in the free markets and the accumulation of wealth. With the Democrat’s assistance, he could control the economic variables that affect his investments by basing his predictive investment models on the Democrat’s Social Engineering policies. It also explains why other large corporations acquire lobbyist and seek targeted legislation in their market sectors.

Barack Hussein Obama's view of economic recovery strongly conflicts with the worldview of the free market investor and entrepreneurs of a free market. Barack Hussein Obama claims only government can fix the economy with Keynesiantheory. If the private sector is not going to spend their money and investments then the government will just confiscate the investor's private property & the future generation’s potential private property and spend it for them in an attempt to get the economy moving again. Never in American history has Keynesian economic policy ever worked and it has never worked in any other foreign economy where it has been attempted to include Socialist based economies. Just research Japan economy in the 1990’s, which is now been named the 'Lost Decade'.

The Dow is now less then half of it's value of 14000 points just a year ago. Since president Barack Hussein Obama's inauguration just only 46 days ago, the Dow's decline has accelerated in its decline. Dropping from 11000 points to approx 6500 at the time of this writing. Berkshire Hathaway Inc., Warren Buffett's Insurance and Investment Company, barely broke even in the fourth quarter because of losses on derivatives contracts tied to the stock market. Profits have fallen 96 percent, the fifth straight quarterly decline, and Berkshire's net worth has tumbled $10.9 billion (7.64 billion pounds) in the years final three months. Net worth per share fell 9.6 percent in 2008, only the second decline since Warren Buffett began running Berkshire in 1965. It fell 6.2 percent in 2001. In his annual letter to Berkshire shareholders, Warren Buffett also offered a gloomy economic outlook, saying, "The economy will be in shambles throughout 2009 -- and for that matter, probably well beyond."

Warren Buffett sees U.S. economy in shambles

http://www.iht.com/articles/reuters/2009/02/28/business/OUKBS-UK-BERKSHIRE-BUFFETT.php

Barack Hussein Obama is just getting started on his Socialist initiatives. Next in queue are the Omnibus Bill to nationalize home loans, the 3.6 Trillion annual Federal operating budget, and Nationalized Health Care. Barack Hussein Obama is beginning to make Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton look like a Liberal Republican. I am curious when Hillary Clinton remarked that she had so many ideas for America but America could not afford them if she even imaged the same magnitude for Federal government growth?

With the all out assault on the free markets by the Federal government under Barack Hussein Obama's administration did Warren Buffett think he would be immune of Federal government policy because he endorsed him? Only government and George Soros are immune from Socialist tyranny so far. The socialist parasite eventually turns on all hosts to include George Soros, that is its nature. Did Barack Hussein Obama ever thank you (Warren Buffett) for being a useful idiot? (A Communist term for individuals who promote an ideology, which they really do not believe in but promote for their own benefit.) Warren Buffett welcome to the beauty of Socialism, it is also considered very patriotic and your duty to pay more in taxes as you are losing your net wealth.

Does Magic Johnson Really Have HIV / AIDS?

Lately on the television you cannot help but see competing income tax preparer companies advertising commercials to prepare our annual user-friendly Federal tax returns. It is that time of the year for us responsible American citizens to prove our patriotic duty and pay our taxes so that our beloved enabling government can redistribute the collected taxes to our other dependant class of American citizens. I suspect that our dependant class is being rewarded for not contributing to the next world's crisis of Climate Change by their idleness and not creating additional Carbon Dioxide (Co2). 'Share the Wealth' as our President Barack Hussein Obama likes to tell our high achievers.
 
Particularly, Hewitt Jackson commercials have been flooding the television airwaves lately. On every Hewitt Jackson commercial, you see a healthy and smiling Magic Johnson. His complexion is good and I suspect that his BMI (Body Mass Index) would classify him as obese. Maybe I am an old-timer (45 years old) but I distinctly remember all the news media sensation (television and radio) back in 1991 broadcasting Magic Johnson had just announced that he had contracted the HIV virus. NBA basketball teams refused to play basketball against Magic Johnson because of the fear of possibly contracting the HIV virus. Abruptly Magic Johnson retired from professional basketball. Magic Johnson returned to win the MVP of the 1992 All-Star Game. After protests from his fellow players, Magic Johnson retired again for four years, but returned in 1996 to play 32 games for the Lakers before retiring for the third and final time.
 
Magic Johnson has been involved in community education to "help educate all people about what [HIV] is about" and educate others not to "discriminate against people who have HIV and AIDS." He has advertised for drugs from GlaxoSmithKline and Abbott Laboratories to reduce HIV / AIDS infections among the African-American community.
 
Since then Magic Johnson has had the HIV virus for 18 years now and does not seem to experience any symptom of the HIV virus; no unsightly body scabs, weight loss, or pneumonia like symptoms. I am curious, what is his secret? Back in the 1990's once someone contracted the HIV virus, the individual had 5 to 8 years before they died of full blown AIDS. Does Magic Johnson's body contain a mystical mutated gene or anti-virus, which can combat the HIV / AIDS virus and save humanity around the world or was his HIV diagnosis a charade all this time?

Why Can't March Be White History Month?

**Warning. The politically incorrect opinions expressed by this author of pallor will offend and may be considered hate speech by those of non-Libertarian persuasion.
 
While lecturing to his legion of Justice Department bureaucrats, Attorney General Eric Holder last week called America a "nation of cowards" for not spending more time talking about race. As a man of pallor with no ‘White Guilt’ ( http://dmkooker.blogtownhall.com/2007/09/26/emancipation_proclamation_from_white_guilt.thtml ) let me stand in front of the queue and getthis race conversation started.
 
It is a real shame the Equal Rights movement has evolved into a full circle. First it was separate but equal in the 50's, then equal integration where everyone is treated by merit in the late 60's, and then evolving back to separate but equal. Every individual is sub-grouped and granted permission to perform behaviors and legal protections that another sub-group of individuals cannot have thus bringing racial harmony to the sub-groups. It makes no sense at all but that is the beauty of Diversity. Heaven forbid American live by the same rules of life, which are independent of race and lifestyle.
 
Frankly I am getting very tired of everyone else’s ethnic heritage being documented on a calendar and/or television in a positive manner except for individuals of pallor. March is a month where us Caucasians are at our prime in the Northern Hemisphere. We have been wrapped in out Land's End warm clothing for several months and now it is our time to show off our pasty whiteness in its full glory before we become bronzed sun worshipers. It is a time for individuals of pallor to celebrate and tell our contributions to American history even though it is not documented or taught in public schools anymore.
 
Is America's pre Civil War history so offensive and horrible that Television and public schools cannot acknowledge that individuals of pallor actually lived and breathed on this fruited plain called America and actually produced other industry that is not slavery? It happen over 150 years ago folks give it a rest. It is just like the History Channel must by operated by Jewish management. The History Channel will not get off the Jewish persecution and World War Two. Just call the History Channel the Hitler Channel instead. Give it a rest. Can we not acknowledge it happened 70 years ago, the world has learned from the history lesson and move on? I am very tired of everyone attempting to exploit their ethnic group as victim status of an event in the past and continue to acquire & promote the victim status from the past to be forever used as a reason to acquire some kind of elevated political and legal status over another ethnic group.
 
Let’s add extra fuel to the fire. The current ethnic generations should be kissing their fore-father’s gravestones and thanking them for paying the heavy price of injustices for today’s generation enjoyment of freedom and affluence here in America. Africa has as many natural resources if not more than America and Canada combined. Yet Africa has always been a sinkhole of humanitarian foreign aid and just plain human misery. I believe even with unlimited monetary funds, care, and education Africa still could never pull itself out of its dilemma.

Black History month is contained in the month of February. If February is a short calendar day
month, I am surprised that race baiters like Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton have not howled about the racial injustices of the coloured man being shorted again on a 28/29 day Black History month. Oh the injustice that Black History month was not placed on a month of 31 days. But again will the race baiters ever be satisfied withracial harmony? They have built an industry and powerbase on racial strife.
 
There is no doubt in my mind that the Justice Department will be working in coordination with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to stifle free speech on the radio airwaves with some equivalent FCC mandate to the ‘Fairness Doctrine’. When that happens Attorney General Eric Holder, will you also be diligent in suppressing race-baiting venom from such race baiters like Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, or Father Michael Pfleger?

Delay The TV Converter Box Until The 2010 Census

**Warning. The politically incorrect opinions expressed by this author of pallor will offend and may be considered hate speech by those of non-Libertarian persuasion.
 
Per the request of the Messiah Barack Hussein Obama, the official conversion of the analog to digital television airwaves was delayed. The House approved the bill, 264 to 158, a week after the Senate did the same. Although television broadcasters say they were ready for the 17 Feburary 2009 transition, they are now required to keep broadcasting in analog until 12 June 2009. This gives the American citizen even more time to prepare their telvision sets. The official government communication says it also allows the Federal government to revamp its TV Converter Box subsidy program, which had run out of money, and issue coupons to the millions of people on a waiting list.
Just like with all government initiatives coming out of the Obama’s presidential administration, the responsible citizens have to wait for and experience the consequences of the irresponsible citizens. Being the responsible citizen I proactively applied for my TV Converter Box coupon via the Internet and purchased the TV Converter Box at one of the approved retail outlets, which accepted the 40-dollar coupon. Within 10 minutes, the TV Converter Box was plugged in, the antenna wires were installed, and the channel search was performed. Everything was ready to go except for only half of the television broadcasters were even broadcasting in digital or were broadcasting digital at a very low wattage. The TV Converter Box in Jacksonville FL has been pretty much useless until the beginning of February 2009 when the broadcasters boosted their broadcasting wattage and the NBC and ABC broadcasters began to broadcast in digital.
 

The result of the conversion delay has had some really nice results. The analog channels are not being broadcasted at full strength and the digital channel broadcast wattage has been reduced since they are not mandated to broadcast in digital yet. So while us responsible citizens wait till June 12 2009, I can decide whether to watch very grainy analog channels or very choppy digital channels.

If 850,000 deadbeat irresponsible citizens on the Gulf Coast could not find the motivation to scrape the barnacles off their backend and flee a life-threatening category 5 Hurricane (Katrina 2005) with a four-day notice, does the irresponsible enabling Federal government really think that delaying the analog to digital conversion from February 2009 to June 2009 is really going to help the irresponsible subset of society? I bet even if the Federal government was proactive and signed these individuals up and delivered the TV Converter Box to their doorstep, the irresponsible citizen would still not make the effort to install the TV Converter Box to their antenna and television.

Since Obama’s presidential administration’s principle is the glorification and enablement of the irresponsible citizen, lets expand the functionality of the 2010 US Census counters. Since the US Census counters will already be going door-to-door to perform our Nation’s headcount, just have the US Census counters perform the 10-minute TV Converter Box installation. Maybe then there will be no further delay excuses why America cannot move forward and actually make the analog to digital television airwave conversion.

Baby Boomers, You Can Work Till You Die

I am a Generation X'er and I work in the corporate environment with fellow Baby Boomers and up and coming Generation Y'ers. Lately I have been hearing complaints by my fellow Baby Boomer colleagues that they will not be able to retire as planned or that they may never be able to retire as they watch their retirement accounts whither away in the financial markets. Sorry if I do not break out my violin and shed a tear as America's financial markets tumble and try to correct themselves from the unrealistic government mandated Ponzi scheme the Baby Boomers tried to push onto mine and the future generations. You Baby Boomers had it coming and I am glad that you also got caught in this financial tyranny that you tried to pass onto others. Let's just call it what it is, Generational Theft.
 
In your adolescent days Baby Boomers were too busy protesting the Vietnam War, advocating for perceived social injustices, demanding war on poverty by expanding Socialized government programs on your parent's nickel, experimenting with drugs, and tearing apart the moral fiber of this Federal Republic. (SInce the passage of the 'Stimulus Package' bill, America can now be defined as an actual Socialist nation.)

In your prime income days
Baby Boomers became surprisingly conservative and your voting patterns were in align with your depression era parents to halt the growth of government expansion. Ronald Reagan was at the right place and at the right time to stop the Liberal parasitic growth of the Great Society. This allowed you to acquire wealth and possessions far beyond your parent's dreams. If you Baby Boomers felt so strongly for Socialized government programs, how come you did not enact these programs in their current benefits strength during your prime income days when you could of contributed more?

When it came close to your retirement, you Baby Boomers broke voting ranks from the conservative Depression generation and decided to revive the Liberal movement and demand government services to cater to your age bracket so that your retirement account would not be consumed by your living needs like prescription drugs. It is easy to be a Liberal (Socialist) when you are on the receiving end of the government entitlement. The last two years of a human life typically cost more than all other years of one's life accumulated. Good luck trying to receive those precious last two years of life with rationed Nationalized health care.   Thanks to Nationalized health care you are going to experience an exit from this Earth like Terri Schiavo.

As a Generation X’er, I am irritated that the good time party hardy check from the Baby Boomers generation has been sent to me and my children plus with past due interest. I do not understand the selfish and narcissistic mental process of the Baby Boomer generation that they feel entitled to enact Government entitlements that benefit one generation but places the majority of the fiscal responsibility on the next generation as a government mandated Ponzi scheme? Don’t mind me working long hours to pay for your retirement check, medical bills, and prescriptions while I also scrimp to pay for my basic needs.

My generation (Generation X) seems to have some concerns about what happens if the Baby Boomers do not retire and their chances of moving up the corporate food chain.   Personally I am not convinced or concerned that my career path in Corporate America will be hindered if the Baby Boomers decide to delay their retirement. As long as our economy is not completely Nationalized, economies and companies will expand and jobs will be created. It is not a zero sum economy. The expansion will also accommodate Generation X and Y Corporate career growth.

From my opinion, the economic collapse was good timing. It is justice served to the Baby Boomers for the Ponzi scheme you tried to pass on. As long as the Baby Boomers are working, America will not have to import a foreign work force and it keeps the Baby Boomers out of my wallet screaming for more Federal entitlements. I hope this experiment of Socialism in America shows the absolute tyranny against personal & financial control and will teach a lesson to three generations simultaneously the actual tyranny of Socialism.

Don’t Let Fat Women Plan An Organized Lunch

**Warning. The politically incorrect opinions expressed by this author of pallor will offend and may be considered hate speech by those of non-Libertarian persuasion.

In my case, cynicism gets worse with age because I already know the outcome from the types of participants in any given event. One begins to see the same patterns of behavior over and over again. In the past two years, I have compiled another Kooker rule to my list. It is Kooker’s law number 6.

Anytime there is a lunch provided at an event whether it is at work or at church inquire who is involved on the lunch committee. If the alpha female on the lunch committee has a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 30% or greater, avoid the organized lunch at all cost if you are NOT on a diet. Economy sized (fat) women always want to show in public how dedicated they are to their battle of the bulge and also want you to participate in their struggle also. As a healthy male who does a lot of physically activity, I am in good shape and do not have rolls of fat on my body. I want to enjoy a good heart clogging lunch that sticks to my ribs and gives me energy to support my active lifestyle. Guaranteed 9 times out of 10, the health diet lunch menu will be tuna or chicken salad with small side salads and unsweetened iced tea. I do not know how other healthy individuals feel about tuna or chicken salad but to me it smells like cat food.

The net result is I have to scramble around the table looking for crackers, rolls & butter, or some other small entrée that compliments the cat food smelling lunch that is edible and discretely discard the cat food smelling lunch. If employers and churches want more participation during their organized lunches, please consider us non-dieting individuals when deciding on your lunch list of options.

So I have now added a new Kooker law to my collection: Don’t Let Fat Women Plan An Organized Lunch. If you are curious of the previous 5 laws of Kooker please see URL:

Yes Son, You May Use The 'N' Word

**Warning. The politically incorrect opinions expressed by this author of pallor will offend and may be considered hate speech by those of non-Libertarian persuasion.

My son scares me on occasions with his questions, his conversation topics, and his obvious worldly observations. On those particular occasions I have to take a double take at my son and question whether I am talking to an 8 1/2 year old boy or a little adult. It makes me proud to think that my son is using his gray matter as God intended us to use it and it also makes me find humility when I have to say to him, "Son I really do not know that I can answer your question". As a parent, we tend to think a child is just a little person that is not as educated as ourselves.

On our weekend morning walks, we (my son, Susie the American Bulldog, and I) have a special 2 1/2 mile trek that we make around the neighborhood that satisfies everyone. We first walk past my rental properties so that I keep constant observations on their condition. On the way back we walk the creek that flows through the Willowbranch Park and watch the wildlife on the creek banks. Sometimes my son is quick enough to catch a painted or snapping turtle, play with it for a few minutes then release it back into the creek for the next week's capture. Susie gets to sniff new dog butts at the park.

The last portion of our morning walk takes us past the public basketball courts and two baseball fields next to the municipal library. In the morning hours there will be 30 to 40 coloured individuals playing basketball or cheering the teams on. You cannot help but hear the 'N' word used at each other at least once in every sentence at the top of their lungs. The music pumping out of their boom boxes containing lyrics of violence, crime, and the 'N' word again.

Our walks continued for 7 months then my son innocently asked me as we were walking past the basketball courts, "Daddy, why can't we use the 'N' word, they are using it"? I was for a loss of words since I always stressed in my child raising practice to my son not to use the typical 'Seven' bad words plus the 'N' word. The behavior by the coloured individuals at the basketball courts and in the neighborhood really punched a hole through my worldview of social behaviors that I had taught to my son which were considered bad behavior. My expected behavior must have been very confusing to him and hypocritical that he finally had to ask the question that carried the conversation topic for the rest of that walk.

The coloured community uses the 'N' word in their music and it is considered art and entertainment. Chris Rock and Chappell use the 'N' word in their comedy like it is going out of style and it is considered funny. The coloured individuals playing basketball use the 'N' word as a form of endearment and bonding. If the ‘N’’ word is used in the coloured community as a positive word why is it so bad when a white individual uses it? That makes as much sense as me telling Brian, a white person, you can call me 'Cracker' but Tyrone, a coloured person, if you call me 'Cracker' you will be using a surgeon to remove my foot out of your tail end.

It makes no sense at all but that is the beauty of Diversity. Every individual is sub-grouped and granted permission to perform behaviors and legal protections that another sub-group of individuals cannot have thus bringing racial harmony to the sub-groups. In the innocent eyes of an 8 1/2 child, diversity makes no sense. Children do not seem to make the distinction of race and the correlation to special behaviors and rights. They just see another individual to play tag or play soccer with. It is a real shame the Equal Rights movement has evolved into a full circle. First it was separate but equal in the 50's, then equal integration where everyone is treated by merit in the late 60's, and then evolving back to separate but equal.

One thing that I will never do is to instill ‘White Guilt’ to my son. I am not sensitive to racial discussions. I am an equal opportunity offender to all. Specifically to black and white relations or to any other race, I refuse to say sorry for past transgressions way before my time, dance around the racial issue with sensitivity, or hold any ‘White Guilt’. I have expressed my ‘Emancipation Proclamation From White Guilt’ to the world through Townhall in the past.

At the end of the walk, I finally told my son, "If the 'N' word is good enough for the coloured community then it is good enough for me. I cannot see any reason why not to use the 'N' word until the coloured community condemns the use of it and halts the use of it themselves. Yes son you may use the 'N' without discipline from me. Just be aware of the potential illogical consequences of its use by others."

It is very ironic that America has martyred Martin Luther King for his efforts in civil rights but America never learned the actual essence of his message; to not judge a man by his colour of his skin but by his character. One set of rules of life for all men.
