AMERICAN GOVERNMENT SHOULD SUPPORT OUR WAR FIGHTERS

I think that if our government can send our men and women to risk their lives to fight a war, the least our government can do, when our war fighters return home, is provide them with a job, free college, a low cost house, low cost loans and free medical and psychological services. I feel shame for my government that we abandon our war fighters when they come home. Do you agree?

I AM SO BORED WITH VIOLENCE

I am so bored with violence. No matter what new movie comes out in 2009, it’s the same old thing we’ve been seeing for thousands of years–people hitting people, people shooting people, people killing people. The only thing that changes are the people, the places and the weapons. Our minds are stuck in the same hole. Violence is so primitive, so nonthinking, so uncreative. Our mind is much better than this. Women of the world: take over and create movies and entertainment that I can think about! Let’s use our brains, not our brawn. Do you understand what I’m saying?

POLANSKI SHOULD SERVE HIS TIME

Roman Polanski pled guilty to raping a 13-year-old girl 32 years ago. The fact that he fled America and has been living in France all these years does not remove the crime. It’s outrageous that people in the movie industry, who hold low esteem for females anyway, want him absolved of his crime. The victim is sadly calling for his release, probably because she received a big payoff check from him. This case reeks of immoral behavior. How do you feel about this case?

HUMANS ARE 99.9/10% IDENTICAL

I just saw on the National Geographic Channel that human beings are 99.9/10% identical. I guess the 1/10% is the color of our eyes, hair etc. This 99.9/10% number really hits home that, all over the planet, we are alike and have the same needs. Does this astound you?

ETs AND UFOs EXIST

I would love to see more stories in the news about ETs and UFOs. This is our future. Finding ETs and UFOs from other planets really excites me. Check out the article in the August 24 & 31, 2009 issue of Newsweek magazine entitled “Aliens Exist” by Andrew Romano. Big news! Tell me how you feel about ETs and UFOs.

LET’S ALL VACATION FOR THE MONTH OF AUGUST

I think Europe has the right idea to take off all of August for vacation. Why not? Who can work or function normally in August when everything slows down anyway. The Congress takes off August. Why not the rest of America? We can use a little slow down time in our fast track lives. Please tell me what you think about this new idea!

Sometimes it takes time for people and institutions to accept something new. Self-publishing is a powerful new tool for people’s voices to be heard, voices that heretofore were denied by the few agents and publishers who decide who gets published and who does not. Independent publishing and independent publishers like myself will only increase. Please let me know your comments.

WILL IT TAKE 1,000 MORE YEARS?

Will it take 1,000 more years for us to even realize that we don’t have to live with all this violence? Will it take 1,000 more years for us to shift America from a violent society to a peaceful one? Will it take 1,000 more years to realize that America is not living the kind of life that women want?

You know, we really don’t have to allow guns in America. We really could impose 0% tolerance on rape and the hitting of women and children. We really can prohibit all porno stores, clubs and merchandise. If we can create an Affirmative Action program to help bring minorities along then we can apply an Affirmative Action program in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives to ensure at least 50% of them are women. It’s not good enough to just have a token woman President, if she still presides over a testosterone-driven violent society. We have to change that society.

We need to create a Women’s Summit who will meet on a regular basis for the

THE CURSE IS STILL ALIVE AND WELL

I regret to inform the Roid Sox that the Curse is still alive and well. 2004 and 2007 do not count, as their roided players were playing illegally. The Roid Sox 91 year-World Series drought continues. Any Yankees fans out there to comment?
