Oh, Say can you see..

   Well can you see?  Here's the thing, I have a ten point plan to fix America in ten years, I shit you not!  First we need a minor discussion about Americans.  We are "for the most part" humane, moral and ethical.  No better or worse than any other country except we shout, we are better than everyone else, not a smart idea.  Boy's and Girl's I implore you to get involved with whatever you are passionate about, no matter what it is.  I promise you they can use your help.  So this weeks topic, fixing America in ten years, it can be done.  I shit you not but it will take all of us and we should send this message to DC ASAP.
1. No upper manager can earn more than 100% of the average working wage of employees of their Organization.
2. Drill anywhere and everywhere but responsibly.
3. Open the keystone pipeline, just take the proper precautions against a possible spill.
4. Take a break on the rhetoric, both parties, it's annoying, confusing and destructive.  Not to mention it seems like America is an idiotocracy during election years.  No one can do all they promise as the President does not WRITE THE LAWS.  THAT'S CONGRESS!  By the way, we will have to increase TAX REVENUE and SOON!
5. Give Iran space, you back any dog in a corner they will bite to kill, to get out of it.
6. Stop attempting to punish behavior, you cannot legislate behavior, only punish it.  We all know how well that's worked out.
7. Repeal the Patriot act, it's bullshit and un-American.
8. Stop the war on drug's.  You cannot win!
9. Our military is bigger than the next 13 largest militarizes in the world combined!, are we expecting an Alien invasion?  Let's tone it down a bit and run SS,Medicare and Medicaid responsibly or do away with SSI all together and kill off all the short bus people cruel but honest!
10. Legalize MJ and Prostitution and tax it, un Godly amounts of revenue will come from it.
   Few if any of these will happen as most Americans are still PURITANICAL ASSHOLES WHO CANNOT TELL YOU WHO MARGARET THATCHER IS.  Wake up, please before it's all said and done.  It will be here before you know it!!!!

Penn’s Perspective: My Truth

My Truth

   I am a humble, reasonably intelligent 46 year old man.  I have no progeny and currently without female companionship.  While I am alone, I am not very lonely.  I am twice divorced, one was a great woman the first a total waste of biochemistry.  I like to think I am an honest person, I am flawed.  Occasionally I drink too much and I smoke but beyound that I am level headed and logical about most things.  I am a staunch believer in the scientific method and enjoy a spirited discussion on most any topic.  I love surf and turf and am of three ethnic derivations.  I was baptized in the Roman Catholic church but am lapsed in my faith.  I believe non Earth bound creatures are plausible, most likely possible considering the sheer size of the Galaxy let alone the Universe as a whole.  Have they been here, who knows.  If so it wasn't with Chemical rockets as we use today.
   Sometimes we just need to pour our hearts out, hoping someone is listening  "in this case reading".  I know I come across as brash, pessimistic, self righteous even arrogant at times in my writings.  Well you know what they say about judging...  The state of human nature stays on my mind constantly, I shouldn't care.  I read facebook and twitter and everyone seems to have a dog to chat about or moaning about the weather or a relationship status.  I personally don't give a fuck about that or much of anything else with the exception of why is man so absolutely evil in his relationship towards his fellow man.   I watch the news and I see RED.  Then I will go meditate or look out the window and contemplate the sheer joy and beauty that is nature and I calm down.
   I think of my existence being no more important to the Galaxy as the slime on an earthworm is to the bird who will eat it on a warm rainy day.  I think Plato got it right with his Cave theory and I believe in Occam's razor.  So what really matters?  Politics, Religion, Wealth, Family, Sex, Life or Death?  I am no authority on anything but I do know that these 7 issues are what consume most of our thoughts and emotions.
   I am trying so hard to find the overall goodness that should be an innate quality in us all yet I reach for that which isn't seemingly there. I will probably go to my deathbed hoping for that, I dream of it yet it's always a disappointment when I see the world as it is when I awaken.
   If you are a lost kindred spirit and just wanna chat sometime "as no one ever comments on theses post's" feel free to reach out.  I'm always around, usually with some single malt and a camel.

False Idolitry

    Hello Again, yes I'm back with a few words of wisdom for all you "so called" Christians out there.  You ever wonder why celebrities are called stars?  Well I think it has something to do with their stature, as if they are so great they belong in the realm of the stars above.  Maybe it's an ego thing.  Note, no one else except film actors receive this title which is also odd.  Occasionally it is used for someone who is at the pinnacle of their career or someone who made a great breakthrough but usually when you hear star you think of Hollywood.
   This brings me to the OVERWHELMING! coverage of the Whitney Huston death.  Seriously, was anyone that surprised?   She was a train wreck waiting to happen.  Now I'm not heartless, she was a great singer and did good charity work but in the end she was just a singer \ actress.  Yet if you followed the news lately you might think we landed humans on Mars or better yet Jesus has returned.  But no, a celebrity died and the entire planet grieved. Well the Bible say's a few words about idolizing anyone other than God, so be careful or you might incur God's wrath.

Penn’s Perspective: Let's all fight...

Penn’s Perspective: Let's all fight...: Yeah sounds silly and I don't mean anything by the title other than to get your attention. No, religion or politics this week. Figured...

Let's all fight...

   Yeah sounds silly and I don't mean anything by the title other than to get your attention.   No, religion or politics this week.  Figured I could spare a week to just discuss us, you know people.
   You hear so many horrific stories on the news about what people are doing to one another I think we sometimes forget we are human(e) at all.  I took both an intro to psychology and sociology class in college and I just cannot wrap my head around what's going one.  Am I alone in this?
   Kids killing adults, adults killing adults and kids and worst of all kids killing kids.  Is it the air, the water, video games?  It's none of those things and we all know it.  It's not even the schools or even the parents for that matter.
    I have a theory, ever heard of subliminal messaging?  Basically it's when a message is relayed to you without you being conscience or fully aware of it.  There is also a little item called repetition.  Now if we add these two together what do you get?  Well not a day goes by where some dysfunctional idiot doesn't say America is the Greatest country on Earth.  Why not say we aspire to be the Leading nation on Earth.   Now most any Behavioral shrinks will tell you if something is repeated over and over ad nauseam, the behavior will sink in and be adapted by most anyone.
    I will give you a few examples:  Any Church and The Military.   Since between those two most of our population is covered (and since they overlap quite a bit, there is no need for other examples).  My point is they tell you what to do over and over and rarely does anyone question this.   Now think about our children all day long hearing "by birthright they are not only live in the best country but have the best values and morals of anyone else".   No wonder it gives kids an overwhelming sense of entitlement.  Our country pretty much sticks it's nose in where ever it wants and does what it wants.  And you ask why the people settle issues with guns?  It's the American way.

The universe has a sense of humor

   If you believe in God well that's good for you if it makes you happy.
If you believe the Earth is only two thousand years old or so well then you're just a moron.
   If you believe in Evolution as first described by Darwin then I have the answer to the meaning of life.  Darwin's theory dealt with survival of the fittest, various mutations often give a species an advantage, then they survive and thrive.  So by this logic, mankind is either a fluke or just a genetic roll of the dice.  Either way our lives aren't worth the chemicals we are created from.  Which is about $75.00 so just know the next time someone asks what your worth tell em.
( Or aliens dropped us off here as a weird experiment)
   That's to cynical, the meaning of life is nothing.  It's just a random string of interconnected events that we worry about or enjoy.  Then we die and our chemicals are returned to the planet.

Growing Pains

   Posit:  When you're young, you have the thoughts and idea's of a child.  Now let's follow that train of thought a bit further.   Guess which country of all the modern industrial nations is the youngest?
   If you guessed the USA you're right.   As children grow they pick up habits from their parents, teachers and peers.  As you are aware many children are amicable and many are rebellious.
   America is the child of many peoples and cultures Native Americans, The French, Spanish and The English, not in order of their influence.   All these other peoples have been around for centuries and have matured overtime.   We don't have this advantage.  We are young, immature and we are the rulers of the planet.   Do you see what's wrong with this equation?
   If you cannot see it, think of it this way:  It's like giving a toddler a loaded gun.   They have no idea on it's proper use and will most likely hurt their self or someone else.   America has a great many teriffic qualities but suddenly we find ourselves mired in bullshit that we created ourselves.  Quite a few dictators have been propped up by us, this isn't broadcast on the evening news but dig a bit and you'll find it.
   We are a reactionary country, when something major happens we immediately swing the pendulum to the opposite end.  People we live in a Republic, semi Democratic with both Capitalist and Socialist aspects.  This seems to have worked well from FDR to Jimmy Carter but soon people got uber greedy and the whole thing ended up crashing around us.  Pray long and hard before this next election, it's gonna mold the country for several years to come.

President Ahmadinejad, please take the loss on this one...

   Did you know you can trace nearly all wars back to one of two reasons: Ideology or Religion.
   Now we "Human Beings" being blessed as the most reasonable minded animals on the planet, it would seem as if we could reason our way out of killing and maiming each other.  But alas it seems simpler to just stab, shoot or blow each other to death.  Well the easy way isn't usually the best method to solving a problem.  Usually there are talks prior to the incident, back channel discussions, innuendo's and threats but in my heart I think once a nation feels it is pushed to the brink it will fight back, no matter how big the force against them.
   I bring this up now as I feel we are endanger of falling into this deadly sand trap yet again.  Iran seems hell bent on having a nuclear program and a majority of free nations are intent on stopping them.   Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, President of Iran who is the public Face of the all powerful Holy leader Ali Khamenei seem hell bent to keep their nuclear ambitions alive and well.   Now, if the IAEA inspectors come away and say the Iranians enrichment program is purely for legitimate medical usage I am not sure where things may go.  If on the other hand and personally, I believe if they see everything Iran has things will not go smoothly.  We all know the near \ middle east is a powder keg.   If you add the regimes rhetoric regarding Israel along with their lying about the enrichment program we may have no choice but to choose war.  It's called: when an immovable object hits an unstoppable force.  So what's the answer?   Turn Iran into a glass parking lot, or will they continually allow the Inspectors to do their jobs?   Only the future will tell but if history is an indicator count on war.   
   This will more than likely turn into the final world war, if you count all the various allegiances with other countries we're all kinda screwed if this happens.  Truthfully I don't know what the right answer is, I just know I don't wish to be reduced to a black shadow. Think about it.
