They are wrong again!

This morning the weatherman said that the rain in LA came sooner than expected. One more example of that they cannot predict the weather in the next few hours let alone that global warming will happen in hundreds or thousands of years. There's no way you can predict the future of anything with the little amount of data we have. Probably the maximum amount of data we have is about a hundred years worth. And what is the quality of the data? Where did they take the tamperature readings a hundred years ago? Do we take them in the same place now? How accurate were their thermometers? Seems like the old adage garbage in, garbage out applies. If you have bad information, you make wrong conclusions. When you have blind people leading you, you may just all over a cliff. Don't Be Scared!

College lie

Ever since I was around fifteen I have not been a proponent of college. That was thirty years ago and my life experience has led me to conclude that most of the time it isn't good for the individual and Society. It is a big reason for Society Going so Madd! The following are some of my reasons -
  • You pay all this money and all you have is stuff in your head, you don’t learn to do anything. You learn by doing - not in classes.

  • Staying in school longer makes you stay young and immature, it takes longer for people to grow up.

  • Colleges aren’t teaching the truth any longer, they are interested in brainwashing our kids by masking lies as truth.
Businesses have bought into this lie and why our infrastructure is in so bad shape. People graduating college don’t really know much and they are still very immature.

My opinion is that we go to an 8th grade education system. We would teach the basics and only the basics – reading, writing, arithmetic, music, etc. until 8th grade then you would go to a technical type school and learn a job and start working. People learn better when they are interested in what they are learning, so whatever they are interested in is what they should be learning. Most everything I know, I wanted to learn it. When I wanted to know something, I researched it and learned it myself; I didn’t need anyone telling me what to learn.

To All the Kids Who Survived the 1930's, 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's!!

Here's a fun thing that was circulating in an e-mail a few years ago and I just received it again and thought it was appropriate to put here since we are plagued with fears like these and so many threats from lawyers. Wish we could go back to an easier and happier time.

TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED the 1930's, 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's!!

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant.

They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.
Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-based paints.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking.

As infants & children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, booster seats, seat belts or air bags. Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat.

We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.

We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this.
We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank Kool-aid made with sugar, but we weren't overweight because, WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!

We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on. No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K.

We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.

We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 150 channels on cable, no video movies or DVD's, no surround-sound or CD's, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet or chat rooms…WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!

We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents.

We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.

We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with sticks and tennis balls and, although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes.

We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them!

Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that! !

The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law! These generations have produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever!

The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL!

If YOU are one of them? CONGRATULATIONS!

Redifining Science to promote agenda

Redifinition of scientific terms has led to the mistrust of scientists. Science used to be a trusted field, it has been taken over by people with agendas other than truth. The term obese has meant any one just a little over weight. They have redifined being pregnant as implantation and not conception to promote their agenda. They lied to us about aids. They lied to us about breast cancer. They lied to us about condom safety. They lied to us about Global Warming. They have admitted they did it to scare you so that you will get tested. It's all about the money. They have cried wolf so many times they aren't believed anymore.

OLPC - One Laptop per Child

Whose dumb idea is this one laptop per child promotion. Just because a kid gets a laptop doesn't mean he's going to get smarter. Kids are getting into trouble all the time online. Seems like this is another liberal panacea to make themselves feel good inside. They don't use their brains to see if it will actually work. Way to simplistic, just give a kid a laptop and all will be great. Right! They seem to think that just by giving kids access to information nothing but good can come from it. Experience shows the bad things always spread faster than the good stuff. They say "The goal is to get technology in the hands of those that cannot afford it." And I guess thats suppose to fix everything.

Wrong conclusion

I read an article about an Alaskan island that is losing ground, and of course it is blamed on global warming. Even if they do have the right data, they have made a wrong conclusion. The landscape of the Earth has been changing for millions of years. It changed a lot even before we had the technology of the past hundred years that they claim is causing global warming. Areas of the coasts have been lost, and areas of the coasts have gained ground. At one time all the earth was one land mass. Surprised they don't blame global warming on the land splitting and forming the way it currently has.

Strikes

I have never understood strikes. They totally don't make sense to me. They want more money so they stop working - kinda defeats the purpose, I think. Unions have really dragged this country down, that's why alot of stuff gets done overseas. We have become babies in this country. We want everything and don't want to work for it, everything is owed to us. Things have to change somehow.
