"I fear ..."


                                     speak up for the birds...while there are still some left...

balunatics abound in the news...the lofty watchers is sniffing around for...WHAT!...i read a very good article about the business of bringing people into the USA from abroad without proper documentation...this article focused on the extremely common activity of smuggling chinese people into this country to work in chinese restaurants...these people work for the restaurants to pay off the thousands of dollars they owe to the smugglers...it was pointed out that there are more chinese eateries in this country than mac donalds, wendys and jackinthebox combined...in other words a hell of a lot!...so i suppose if the chinese wanted to know about something here they could get one of the thousands of dedicated un-legal chinese to just go and look...all you hear about is the mexicans who come here un-legally and how they need to be stopped...the fact of the matter is that the mexicans come here because there is a network of businesses who will hire them...one of the ways that these companies avoid being charged with hiring un-legal people is that they use "payroll" companies and say..."WHO KNEW!" and then trade out that bunch for another bunch who are in the network of able and willing workers...obviously once these workers have been here for a while they see that some of the things available to them in this country are better than the country they came from...like government for instance...and they want to stay here...only makes sense...now i imagine the same is true of the chinese people..i met some people from Yap once...they may be called the Yappenese i dont know..better than being called Yappers... these people were chewing something and i asked what is was and they said it was betel nuts...i asked for some and they gave me some and i saw that it had a bit of a kick like coffee...they told me what store had it and i bought some but only succeeded in burning a hole on my gums with the lye stuff needed to release the drugs...so much for that addiction...morning noon and night we are bombarded with information from an almost  endless supply of sources...i have been told by two people recently that the core of the planet earth is changing the direction that it revolves...but nothing in the news about that...however today i heard a scientist say that the core of the sun is changing the direction it is revolving as it does every  22 or 11 years i forget...this will change the polarity of the sun...now i can not figure out how people are so willing to believe things that have only one source...i talked to a man the other day...trump hat, marine tattoos who said that " the government has burned to the ground 1100 food processing plants in the last year to make the price of food go up"...he said this with a straight face!...i told him that the government has burned zero food processing plants and that he might want to check his sources...he let this rebuttal sink in and he assumed i was calling him a liar...not at all just incredibly stupid...anyhow i avoided him after that...some people assume that there is some mystic aspect to the marine corps but in fact the marines are just as fallible as anybody...there were 16 marines who were caught smuggling mexicans into this country in southern california, more recently two marines were charged with felony vandalism when they rocked they gondola until the who system shut down and it was hours before the people could be rescued at the san diego zoo, and there were three marines who worked for intelligence who were indicted for storing the capitol on january 6th...also jim lehrer  was a marine and proud of it...he was a very reputable guy...well just goes to show one size does not fit all...
