President John F. Kennedy

"My fellow citizens of the United States, ask not what your country can do for you...but what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America will do for you...but what together we can do, for the brotherhood of man." (President John F. Kennedy/Inaugural Address)

The name we all know, Glenn Beck.

Christmas is just around the corner and I can’t wait! In relation to my previous post, airport security will be at a HIGH this holiday season. AGAIN, it is for your own good. I’m sure our President will be going on vacation for the hundredth time…if he isn’t already! My topic today is about a genius in political and social reform. He is a master of radio and TV talk shows! He is, Glenn Beck.

Born in 1964, Mr. Beck had not the easiest childhood (filled with alcohol, divorce, suicide, etc). However, he knew from a young age that radio was his calling. After a not much better adulthood, Beck was finally able to clean his life up. In 1999, Beck married for a second time and resides today in Connecticut as an author, political commentator, radio and TV talk show host, and entrepreneur. In July, 2010, Beck announced that he went to the doctors for an eye check up and later found out that he has Muscular Dystrophy.

I personally see Beck as an incredible person drawn to God because of his miracles that he, God, works. In August of 2010, Beck held a ‘Restoring Honor Rally’ in front of the Washington Monument, Reflecting Pool, and Lincoln Memorial. His co-host was the highly credited and former Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin. The two hosted an incredibly successful rally that drew the attention of a lot of names and hundreds of thousands of people.  

I appreciate your time, God Bless and have a wonderful day! Also, Beck is on FOX News Channel on weekdays at 5p & 2a ET. Be sure to tune in, you will never walk away from one of his programs uninformed.

Green Paper

It wasn't but a few hours ago when I realized I was broke...yes broke. Luckily, I have many years to come before that becomes a real issue but for now, it's an issue that I DON'T want! What is the meaning of money? Where did it come from? How did it become such a large part of our society?

Money spands back thousands of years ago...most likely with the originial "barter & gift". If you have something of equal value, you can acquire something different of that SAME value...same being the key word here. Not long after, the Sumerians are credited with initiating the first economy based on commodity money. From then, we have been piling ourselves up in allegorical debt.

I thought about it for a second...what if money was never invented, and labor was for self-gratification and sincerity. And what if everything based on that labor, in terms of results, was not free (remember, there is no such thing as money) but good-will. The world could be such a better place. Where everything is done, given, and recieved as a sign of care and optimism. Just another flaw in today's society.

Today's was more of a personal conclusion but let me hear what you think. Do you agree with the monetary system? Why or why not? (As if we can change it...)

1st Issue: TSA Airport Protocol

A big issue that seems to be making a name for itself right now is the TSA Airport Security Searches...this being the pat-downs and "graphic" full body scanners. Airport security is a very, very sensitive issue to mess with and ESPECIALLY during the holidays. I believe it was three days ago when the Somali-born teenager attempted to detonate a bomb given to him by feds. Thankfully, the explosive material given to him was futile but the fact that this kid tried to detonate it in the center of a crowded area with women and children just sends chills down my spine. Having said that, I think that a lot of the complaints and issues that travelers have with the new protocols are fairly excessive in the fact that it is for your safety. I would be upset, don't get me wrong, with the new pat-downs and scanners HOWEVER, I know that it is for my own good and the good of my family and friends. All I am saying is that don't speak so harshly on an issue that can save the lives of tens, hundred, and possibly thousands of people. We are a country of successes and failures and it seems that the most effective way of learning is to experience...if you don't agree with me that 9/11 and the many terror plots involving US airways aren't enough "experiences"....then I do NOT want to know what is. God Bless and have a wonderful day!

Welcome!

Welcome to my blog! I was very against blogging not too long ago because of the "wonderful" conversations and arguments that you "accomlpish" when doing so...HOWEVER, it's far too important to stay quiet now. Thank you to the few who feel the same about our country and feel that unless we do something, by trying new things (failures and or successes), we will get no where. I appreciate your time and I hope to stay up to date and "loud" with my brand new, beautiful, 2010, blog!
