"Bullies"

I was watching an old Happy Days episode the other day and Fonzie was trying to teach Richie how to deal with bullies.

The Fonz told Richie to just walk up to the meanest guy and brace up to him and act tough, and the bully would probably back down when he saw Ritchie threatening him.  After the guy gave Ritchie a black eye, Ritchie asked Fonzie what happened, and the Fonz said, "Oh I forgot to tell you that before you threaten someone, you actually would have had to hit someone at some time in the past.

So, let me get this straight.  Hamas throws a bunch of rockets into Israel, and then Israel attacks them and destroys all of their tunnels, does about a billion dollars worth of damage to Palestine, and kills a bunch of people.  The result is that Hamas decides to sit down and talk peace.

On the other hand the President of the US in confrontations with Syria, Russia, Iran and North Korea, draws a bunch of lines in the sand and then backs up when they ignore them, and things get worse.

Is there something that I am just no seeing here?

Inside out, Outside in

Well the people of Georgia have spoken once again, and in the Republican Primary, they have chosen to put the "Insider" out, and the "Outsider" in.  The bottom line is a professional politician of more than 21 years has gotten the boot in favor of someone who has never held political office.  Of course one thing remains true to current American politics, and that is that the people with the most money control most of the power, and the little guys get played off against each other.

If you had a million dollars, it would not be enough money to get you elected to even a minor political job, but if you had fifty million dollars, you could probably buy yourself into a major state or even national office.  Of course if you have fifty million dollars and were a member of a well known political family, the odds are better than even that you could get elected.  If there are no jobs available in your state , then you can move to another state and set up shop there.  Just get an office, and advertise, "well known professional politician available for hire, don't need money"  (Clinton or Romney etc.)

The question is, why does anyone with fifty million dollars want a job that pays less than a million dollars per year?  I sure don't, like most folks, if I had fifty million dollars, I'd be in a hammock somewhere sipping lemonade, or out on the lake somewhere catching catfish.  Most folks only need a few million to be happy for the rest of their lives.

We had a rich man here in Georgia a few years back who ran for Governor and Senator and lost both times at an estimated cost of his own money, of more than fifty million dollars.  Why?  Because money buys power and powers brings in more money.  His problem was that he was not a member of a well known political family.  (Ross Perot)

In the upcoming election, the Georgia voters will have a choice for U.S. Senator between the daughter of a former senator and the cousin of a former governor.  For Governor the choice will be between a long time professional politician and the grandson of a former governor and president.  They all have a lot of money and are backed by people who have even more money.

I think I would rather be outside in the hammock with my lemonade because whether it be inside out or outside in, things are pretty much the same in Georgia politics.

Water for the Tomatoes

"Water for the Tomatoes"

 

Here in Georgia we have a pretty severe drought about every five to seven years, at least that is the way it seems to me.  Well of course every time we have a drought, the government decides to ration water, and then sooner or later the rates go up as well.  The last big drought lasted from about 2006 through 2008, and a lot of the area lakes were starting to dry up.

 

There was water rationing and fines imposed for using more than your allotment, as well as restrictions such as prohibiting outside watering of lawns and gardens.  A lot of people's yards began to dry up, and it certainly made it hard to grow flowers and vegetables. Funny though that when the drought was over, the water rates did not come back down, and it got me to thinking that we are due for another drought in the next few years.

 

Of course the problem in Georgia is like most other states, in that most people these days live in cities and drink water that comes from rivers.  This is true in Atlanta where the majority of the water comes from the Chattahoochee River.  The funny thing is though, that while Atlanta is twice as big as it was twenty five years ago, the river is the same size.

 

Somewhere back in around 2007 there was a big national debate going on about immigration, and my cousin happened to have a chance to talk to one of our United States Senators about the subject.  What my cousin said was that while most Americans have always been willing to share the wealth, the water rationing was stopping him from growing tomatoes, which he has always done.  Because of this he was not feeling very charitable about sharing Georgia's water with the more than one hundred thousand illegal immigrants living in the state at that time.

 

I have been thinking that we had better get a strong national conversation going regarding shrinking resources and over- population, before the next crisis arrives.  The truth is that the country has more than twice as many people living here than it did about fifty years ago.  Meanwhile, the amount of available drinking water is about the same as it has always been.  The same is true for clean air and good land.  Natural resources are not the only shrinking commodity either.  The government is running out of money to assist people with, our schools are over crowded, and our healthcare system is straining with the load of an ever increasing population

 

The bottom line is, whether you are speaking of legal or illegal immigrants, we are starting to approach the saturation level in population.  For me, this means that I am not putting out the welcome mat for any new residents, regardless of where they come from.  Regrettably that includes my favorite English Auntie, who wants to move here from England to be closer to her American nieces and nephews.  Sorry Auntie, there is just not room for any more folks in Georgia.

"On the Attack"

In Georgia we are experiencing a lot of outside influence by carpetbaggers and scalawags trying to influence the election of a new senator from Georgia.  It seems you can't turn the television on without seeing an ad sponsored by some PAC from outside of the state attacking one of the candidates.  As a matter of fact the only candidate I have not seen attacked so far, just happens to be the one with the most money.  Kinda makes you wonder doesn't it?

I, for one, do not like this style of politics, where a group from outside of the election area can spend a ton of money trying to dis-credit all of the candidates in order to elect the one who they may think best suits their National agenda.  The National agenda may not always be in the best interest of the local constituents.  It also seems that this movement is not confined to staying within party lines.  So just where does all of this money come from, and who is it serving? 

"Now that's the way I see it, and you can tell'em I said so!"
