Nobody Reports

It's President's Day...named after George Washington's Birthday on the 22nd, but later people tried to get whatever favorite President they could in it.

I say...leave it to George.

Before George Washington became the great leader that he was...there was a real reason he was so loved. When he was younger, he carried a little book around with him called, "Rules of
Civility and Decent Behavior." There are 110 rules in this book. Here's a few of them:

******

Rule No. 2: When in company, put not your hands to any part of the body, not usually discovered.

Nobody Wonders: Imagine George Washington watching Michael Jackson singing "Beat it."

Rule No. 7: Put not off your clothes in the presence of others, nor go out your chamber half dressed.

Nobody Wonders: Imagine George going to a strip club at Mardi Gras, or even seeing Barney Frank giving a speech on the floor of the Congress.

Rule No. 24: Do not laugh too much or too loud in public.

Nobody Wonders:  Obama would have annoyed George to no ends. He lives and breaths it.

Rule No. 57: Associate yourself with men of good quality, if you esteem your reputation: for it is better to be alone than in bad company.

Nobody Wonders: So..is that why Obama said he was asleep in Jeremiah Wright's church all those year?

Rule No. 76: While you are talking, point not with your finger at him of whom you discourse nor approach too near him to whom you talk, especially to his face.

Nobody Says: Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Rule No. 82: Undertake not what you cannot perform, but be careful to keep your promise.

Nobody Wonders what George Washington would think of any of today's politician.

And my personal favorite

Rule No. 110: Labour to keep alive in your breast that little celestial fire called conscience.

And that's what is missing from our leaders of today. The fire of conscience, was left upon the shining hill, stomped into mud, slashed with lies, covered with cash, and only comes out from under the rock, for brief moments, usually during electons.

Happy Birthday George! We wish you were here.

Nobody's Opinion

How many times have you heard someone say, "They don't make things like they used to." ? Well they don't. And there's a good reason for that.  

Once America was famous for the quality of its products. Once upon a time, there was pride in craftsmanship, in even such little things as toasters.  We are living in the 'post-industrial' future where the pace is hard to keep up with...and how can we?

Now, it's almost cheaper to buy...say a new vacuum cleaner, than to get it fixed.  And there's a
reason for that too: profit. The less life years a product has,  the quicker you have to replace it. The more the company makes. How do you think Bill Gates got to be so rich? Do all the updates on Windows really have vast improvements over the last? Was Windows 7 that much of an improvement over Windows XP? Or are these yearly updates carefully planned in order to make the
most profits?

I was once very naive to the business world, and I learned this lesson the hard way: I remember talking to the  President of a company that manufactured souvenir baseballs in China with team players pictures on it. I was looking for a company to "license" my patented ideas, and I had wanted to make a product that lasted....like a baseball. I wanted my product to be a sports collectable much like his.

He told me I was wrong. He wouldn't make my product unless it was made cheaply, and as a throwaway. We argued that point for an hour. His reasoning was profits would triple if the product was cheap and had to be bought over and over, but it bothered me. Since I wanted to sell the product in the many sports arenas, the last thing I wanted to see was thousands of these things being discarded on parking lots after the games.

To make it not a "throw away" item,  would have cost only a few cents more. (In China of course.)  I found out, that I didn't really belong in the world of business, because my main motive was not profit.  I wanted to make something of quality, something to treasure, and use for as long as possible. But in this world of buy, use, replace, buy it again..use it again...replace--we throw away everything now.  Including our Constitution...but I'll address that later.

In the book Future Shock, Alvin Toffler explains that billions of people on the planet are going to go into shock with the upcoming changes and transience of the future world.

"I would not look to the U.S. Constitution, if I were drafting a constitution in the year 2012," Ginsburg said in an interview on Al Hayat television last Wednesday. "I might look at the constitution of South Africa. That was a deliberate attempt to have a fundamental instrument of government that embraced basic human rights, have an independent judiciary. It really is, I think, a great piece of work that was done."

Nobody Wonders what she was doing advising revolutionaries in Cairo in the first place. Obvious to this Nobody--- she was sent by 'President Obama" who gave her a big hug at his State of the Union speech. Something that our founders would have never dreamed of happening. And speaking of our founders...

Our founders made a product of the greatest invention: The Constitution was of the finest quality ever produced by mankind. And Obama is out to destroy it, because he believes in "change."

He wants to replace a Lamborghini with a Volkswagen Beetle.  A Rolex with a plastic dime store watch. Beethoven with Yoko Ono. He wants to replace freedom and creativity, with fascism.

And he's doing it. The powerful in Washington do not want to be limited anymore to the rules of the Constitution. They are all rich. They are all powerful, and none of them have to live by the same rules as the people. They are no longer afraid.

And they are not going to stop talking about  "change"---change our constitution, which Obama has said is old, change our customs, our culture, our way of life, and our children's future in the name of "progress."

Yes, they are the proud progressives. And they have brainwashed whole generation of our kids to think of constant "change" as  a good thing.  But as any Tibetan can tell you..not all change is good.

Green energy is being sold as the future...but whose future is it going to benefit? There is absolutely no advantage to using "food " as fuel, or mandating light bulbs with mercury inside. Or making electric cars that can only travel fifty miles, Or printing money out of thin air in order to save dividends for the rich. These are not quality products. These are not products of progress. These are simply products that will make a certain few elites like Al Gore get incredibly richer.  

And who is going to benefit when they replace "capitalism" with fascism?

One thing is sure: If Obama is elected again, the progressives will change so many things in our country, that in the future, the ONLY thing that won't change...will be the same old boring and dictatorial political  faces on our TV's forever.

In the book Future Shock, Alvin Toffler explains that billions of people on the planet are going to go into shock with the upcoming changes and transience of the future world.

"In this difference lies the contrast between past and future, between societies based on permanence, and the new fast forming society based on transience.  Instead of being linked with a single object over a relatively long period of time, (Nobody says, like our first husband and first wives) we our linked for brief periods with the succession of objects that supplant it."

Alvin is not just talking about the next IPAD. He is talking about political systems too.

There are "rulers' in the world who want to change the Constitution, and representative governments with unelected elites chosen by a handful of the very rich and powerful. Right now, that's the fight in the EU.

Recently, one of our very old, Supreme Court Justices, Ruth Baden Ginsburg, while visiting Cairo, told the reporters there that the revolutionaries taking over Egypt should not look to our Constitution for help.

"I would not look to the U.S. Constitution, if I were drafting a constitution in the year 2012," Ginsburg said in an interview on Al Hayat television last
Wednesday. "I might look at the constitution of South Africa. That was a deliberate attempt to have a fundamental instrument of government that embraced basic human rights, have an independent judiciary. It really is, I think, a great piece of work that was done."

My grandmother would have been the first to tell you how wonderful her first Model T Ford was, and how great it was to fly, and how good her doctor was. The technological advances that happened in her lifetime were much greater  than what we have seen even today.  As  much as you can get excited about the computer and the internet...compared to the invention of the airplane and the automobile...really?

And all these advances were done, mostly by the Unites States because of the quality of our institutions. And these great American Institutions  are being demolished as we speak.

Green energy is being sold as the future...but whose future is it going to benefit? There is absolutely no advantage to using "food " as fuel, or mandating light bulbs with mercury inside. Or making electric cars taht can only travel fifty miles, Or printing money out of thin air in order to save dividends for the rich.
