Penn’s Perspective: Wealthy or not in America
Wealthy or not in America
Do you know how most people become criminals? Whether it's your neighborhood pot dealer or a wall street mega-millionaire. It's a matter of fulfilling what they FEEL is a need. Most are type A's and just feel the need to over achieve, sad really.
Ok so what am I attempting to explain? Quite simply that the poor have always and will always be victimized. Why? Simply put, to live at the absolute lowest rung of society you are constantly being hit from all sides. This has nothing to do with race although Caucasians overall have worked all their life but then they get closer to the end. They have home equity available to them and savings (I hope) and social security. I’m happy for them. But for the elderly living in section 8 housing, their future is far more bleak. Not to mention the entire criminal justice system is out to get them, lock them up and charge them insane fees. Everything from court fees to a fee for everyday you are locked up (in Oakland Co. MI anyway). It makes me want to vomit.
Now how about our wealthy friends well honestly they give to charities and I don’t begrudge them making their fortunes. But I will say this, if you didn’t come from humble beginnings then you have no right to say you can empathize because you can’t. Have ever missed a meal? I doubt it. Your help is appreciated but no one rich or poor, wants to feel ashamed to take charity. So the next time UR on UR high horse step back and look at the bigger picture. U guy’s nearly Break the entire world economy, how many went to jail? My buddy may sell a bit of weed but if he gets busted his punishment is far more out of balance than it should be for the crime committed.
What is that big picture, (I hope UR asking), it’s that we are all Americans and more importantly HUMAN BEINGS, not shit you scrape off UR shoes! AMF!!!

I call Shenanigans on the US Government !!!
Well here we stand again on the edge of a precipice of a self created Fiscal mess.
The ultimate game of who will blink first. Sadly the while they are considering who’ll blink first, we are stuck in the middle wiping the tears from our eyes.
I really do understand both side’s argument but I cannot accept that there is no middle ground that can be reached. These “adult’s” are acting worse than children fighting over crayons. We all know the game is rigged for the rich to get richer, it’s been known since the first caveman discovered how to kill it’s first prey. The difference today is that the strain that the uber -rich have on the economics worldwide isn’t leaving any scraps for anyone else.
Our government almost fears these powerful lobbies, a few of which: Financial, Medical, The NRA. The actual list is truly endless. So where does that leave those of us normal Joe’s and Jane’s who don’t really want to be zillionaires or even millionaires? We just want a 9-5, possibly love and the ability to retire without having to choose between medication and cat food.
You see America has reached a tipping point. It’s been creeping up on us but we have finally reached it. Technological, financially and medicinally which are the big 3 if you will. Use your imagination and think about 10 years down the road, best case scenario we are only slightly less out of debt, poverty will rise as well as the ocean levels. If we make drastic changes now we could fix the mess we’re in with in 10 years.
To do this only takes common sense. No one is gonna die, the uber-wealthy really won’t be that much less rich, our teaching structure could be repaired as could our infrastructure. Because of this approach and attitude I call Shenanigans. I call you out Washington. Step up to the plate and get to work or get the fuck out of the way!!!

Attention Christians…
If Adam and Eve were the first beings on Earth and God decided to destroy it with water, how did the population grow so quickly and diverse in just four thousand years, here’s a simple math problem even you fanatic’s can figure out.
A woman on average takes nine moths to conceive, carry and bare a child, no one disputes this. Provided Noah had three women for each of his sons (which isn’t stated in the Bible) lets do some math. Best guess is that Noah died in the tenth century BC. That’s roughly 1000 B.C. But for the sake of argument let’s say it’s been four thousand years from the flood till now.
The average woman lived for about fifty years (over estimation) but lets just say it happened. Now the math:
3 men and 3 women in one life time maximum= 50 years if women had children every 10 months that means they could create a maximum of 60 children during their lifetime. so that equals 60*3= 180 kids in a life time. Provided half is male and half is female (brother and sisters, disguising, but ok).
So in 1000B.C. 180 kids are born
In 900 B.C. lets square it = 32,400 and so until you reach the present day, do you know what number you get?
Don’t forget the Crusades, all the wars, The black death and The Spanish flu?
Currently there are nearly 7 billion people on the planet of all colors, geographic locations and belief systems, LOGICALLY this process could not have begun 4 thousand years ago, use your common sense if you have any!

Penn’s Perspective: Well guess what it snowed
Well guess what it snowed
It’s really sad when so much fuss is made about a snow storm.
Well it sounds silly but I was a child when the 76-78 snowstorm hit us here in Michigan. You wanna hear something, we still had school!!!! Our nation is really getting soft, I’m not criticizing but it does sadden me that so much adieu is made about nothing. All this fuss about weather but we won’t do a thing about gun control, where are our priorities?
It is important to be aware of the weather and all the noise the channels made about it probably saved lives but you know that unless you’ve lost a loved one to an act of G** you sometimes giggle when you hear about someone dying in a car or walking. Don’t blame me, G** did it. I’m just attempting to make a point about our society.
I’ll keep this short. Our entire way of life will be changing at a bit more than a snails pace. These changes include: Politics, Weather, The Economy and other issues that affect our day to day existence. It’s like the live frog in a slowly warming pot on the stove. The information about the reasoning behind the Iraq invasion were found out nearly as soon as they occurred but the numbed public cheered a ok USA! Our current president is moderately better than Bush was but he doesn’t come across as witless (no offense).
So what’s the answer, well it ain’t fox news! Traditional Republicans aren’t the answer but they could be part of the solution if it weren’t for the “tea party”. You good folks brought chants & guns to your rallies, Democrats brought signs and chanted. Do you see the difference, so jump on board for the big win. Leave the hysteria in the past and let’s make a positive change for the 99% of working Americans.

Amazon Rocks
This past x-mas I purchased more than a few items from Amazon.com. I found out recently that one on the recipients of one of the gift’s had a malfunction with it. An Mp3 player had died, I contacted Amazon and they sent out a new one, no questions asked. I was amazed by there understanding and immediate response, I give them my most highest recommendation for all sales, they are magnificent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
