Over the brink, government has gone (in Yoda voice)


The very government that has one main responsibility as far as it's use for me. - To protect and serve, sure I know there's a ton of opinions that there's a more nefarious government role;  However as a volunteer and professional emergency responder going back 3 decades I've know most in Gov to be fair and standup people often risking their lives or placing large chucks of it on hold to help others and today 800,000 of them not only aren't working for us they just not working at all.


So how we come to it being acceptable to place the life and property at risk for the political folly of few of these so called Teapartiers and the Republican leadership. It's time for all good and reasonable people to take a stand and demand that your elected officials
Change.org Petition to make Congress donate pay to charity.
get back to work since the hazards of life and the role of the Federal government is needed today just as much today as it was yesterday and will be tomorrow.

Please feel free to sign to the Change.org Petition to have Congress Donate their pay to charity during the shutdown.   I really do hope that something this stupid is a pivot point and how we the citizen allow our so called leaders to lead.  Because shutting down and crying like a baby is not leading.

So now that that year of, at least Chinese believe, the Horse is behind us Americans. and now 2015, an 8 year, is upon our door step I'm looking forward to it.  And! it appears that part of looking forward is still looking back.  For example one of the theme now offered for a very young skewing audience Tumblr offer a Cassettes for a template. Or the fact that there is a Cassette Store Day , much like Record Store Day or it's predecessor VinylRecordDay.com The point of this being don't be surprised to find that something that you didn't know or presumed to cease to have existed might not be the case. It has to start to dawn on people that much of what we do is what we believe is happening, if we don't believe music is important and that going to a coffee shop and buying water poured over beans is important to do...Let's not get in the heath of doing one verses the other, it's what we, especially kids believe is important.   Now that we've c

The Gov. Peter Shumlin of Vermont hates cherry trees and the Constitution!

I just read this on a blog by  Terri Hallenbeck   Burlingtonfreepress.Com “It baffles me that anyone would want to live in Washington, D.C.,”  Gov. Peter Shumlin  Well Governor!  People love to live here for a number of reasons some of which are patriotic- DC is your Nation's Capitol; others live here because a generation or more of their family is from here, I believe they call that roots; and still a vast majority came here because of a higher calling.   Inside these 10 Square miles* is some of the most dedicated public servants in the world.   Sure there all those crappy Congressman that don't pay rent and way too many lobbyist plus the beltway bandits.  However, I believe those folks don't really live inside the District. If so they don't register or become active politically. So when you say want to live here I get confessed.   Clearly you are confused between the role, place and position of FederalCity.US and the District of Columbia.   I would think that s
